--------
EYESYS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Borrower") wishes to borrow money from time to

in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and
duties under the Loan Agreement, as amended from time to time, and any other
agreements entered into between Bank and Borrower (the "Loan Documents"). Such
security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the
presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority

acknowledges that Bank may place a hold on the deposit account pledged as
Collateral.
1.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Pledgor shall

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
9.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to
----------------------
the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder
-------- -------
may be assigned by Pledgor without Bank's prior written consent, which consent
may be granted or withheld in Bank's sole discretion. Bank shall have the right
without the consent of or notice to Pledgor to sell, transfer, negotiate, or
grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Bank's
obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.
9.2 Indemnification. Pledgor shall defend, indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other
party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank
as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to
transactions between Bank and Pledgor whether under this Agreement, or otherwise
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except
for losses caused by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of
---------------
all obligations set forth in this Agreement.
9.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement
--------------------------
shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose
of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
9.5 Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement cannot be
----------------------------------
changed or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings,
representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, if any, are merged into this
Agreement and the Loan Documents.
9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which,
when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
9.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in
--------
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any
Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of Pledgor to indemnify Bank
with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described
in this Agreement shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations
periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.
9.8 Amendment of Loan Documents. Pledgor authorizes Bank, without
---------------------------
notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to
time to (a) renew, extend, or otherwise change the terms of the Loan Documents
or any part thereof; (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Loan
Documents, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and (c)
apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Bank in
its sole discretion may determine.
9.9 Pledgor Waivers. Pledgor waives any right to require Bank to (a)
---------------
proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person; (b) proceed
against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; (c) marshal any assets of
Borrower; or (d) pursue any other remedy in Bank's power whatsoever. Bank may,
at its election, exercise or decline or fail to exercise any right or remedy it
may have against Borrower or any security held by Bank, including without
limitation the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or
nonjudicial sale, without
4
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Pledgor hereunder. Pledgor
waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of
Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of Borrower. Pledgor waives any setoff, defense or counterclaim that
Borrower may have against Bank. Pledgor waives any defense arising out of the
absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any
other rights against Borrower. Pledgor shall have no right of subrogation or
reimbursement, contribution or other rights against Borrower, and Pledgor waives
any right to enforce any remedy that Bank now has or may hereafter have against
Borrower. Pledgor waives all rights to participate in any security now or
hereafter held by Bank. Pledgor waives all presentments, demands for
performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Pledge Agreement and of the
existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Pledgor
assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of any indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of
Borrower, warrants to Bank that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent
a request for particular information by Pledgor, Bank shall have no duty to
advise Pledgor of information known to Bank regarding such condition or any such
circumstances. Pledgor waives the benefits of California Civil Code sections
2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.
9.10 Borrower Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent or is
-------------------
adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement,
composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower,
and in any such proceeding some or all of any indebtedness or obligations under
the Loan Documents are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is
modified or abrogated, or if Borrower's obligations are otherwise avoided for
insolvency, bankruptcy or any similar reason, Pledgor agrees that Pledgor's
liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability
shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had
occurred. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Bank upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, Pledgor, any other person, or
otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.
