attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of
Grantor and in the name of Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in Grantee's
discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Grantee may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement
(subject to the rights of Grantor under Section 5(f) hereof), including, without
limitation: (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Grantee
pursuant to Section 5(e) here-of, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for,
recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and
to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, indorse,
and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in
connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, and (iv) to file any claims or take
any action or institute any proceedings which Grantee may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any Col-lateral or otherwise to enforce the
rights of Grantee with respect to any Collateral.
(c) If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Grantee may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the
expenses of Grantee incurred in connection therewith shall be pay-able by
Grantor pursuant to Section 8 hereof.
(d) The powers conferred on Grantee hereunder are solely to protect its
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to provide for the safe
custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys
actually received by it hereunder, Grantee shall have no duty as to any
Collateral. Grantee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Grantee accords its own
property, it being understood that Grantee shall not have responsibility for the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

remain liable under the Related Contracts to the extent set forth therein to
perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this
Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Grantee of any of its
rights hereunder shall not release Grantor from any of its obligations under the
Related Contracts, and (iii) Grantee shall not have any obligation or liability
by reason of this Agreement under the Related Contracts nor shall Grantee be
obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Grantor thereunder or
to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder.

----------------------
and be continuing:
(a) Grantee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the
rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not
the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require Grantor
to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of
Grantee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Grantee
and make it available to Grantee at a place to be designated by Grantee and (ii)
without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Grantee's
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such

reasonable. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required
by law, at least 10 days' notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Grantee shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Grantee may adjourn
any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) Any cash held by Grantee as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
Grantee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Grantee, be held by
Grantee as collateral for, and/or then or at any time there-after applied (after
payment of any amounts payable to Grantee pursuant to Section 9 hereof) in whole
or in part by Grantee against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order
as Grantee shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by
Grantee and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations shall be
paid over to Grantor or to such person as may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus.

otherwise, shall, except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, be
applied as follows:
First: To the payment of the costs and expenses of any such sale in
-----
such order as Grantee shall determine in its sole discretion,
including, without limitation, (i) any and all recording taxes or
fees, municipal and state transfer taxes payable, (ii) the costs and
expenses of entering upon, taking possession of, removing others from,

the case may be, including, without limitation, compensation to
Grantee, its agents and counsel, (iii) the costs and expenses of any
judicial proceedings, (iv) the costs, expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred by Grantee under this Security Agreement,

of sums which would have been paid by application under clauses First
-----

-----
liability with respect to which Grantor has agreed to indemnify
Grantee, but which sums are not yet due and payable or liquidated.
Fifth: To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be
-----
lawfully entitled to receive the same.

out of or resulting from this Agreement.
(b) Grantor will upon demand pay to Grantee the amount of any and all costs
and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of Grantee's counsel and of
any experts and Grantee's representatives, which Grantee may incur in connection
with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation,
use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of

SECTION 11. Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Right of
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jury Trial.
-----------
(a) Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or
federal court located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts located in or closest
in geographic proximity to Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in any action, suit
or proceeding brought against Grantor under or in connection with this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of forum non convenience.
(b) Grantor and Grantee hereby waive the right of trial by jury in any
litigation arising hereunder.
SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement may be
amended or waived, and any departure there-from may be consented to, if, but
only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and signed by Grantee
and, in the case of any amendment, Grantor. Unless otherwise specified in such
waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) The rights and remedies of Grantee, hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
Grantee would otherwise have, and no failure or delay by Grantee in exercising
any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the
exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies of Grantee
provided herein or in any other Loan Document against any person are not
conditional or contingent upon any attempt by Grantee to exercise any of its
rights and remedies under any other Loan Document against such party or against
any other person.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
Grantor hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof
prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in
full or release of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on Grantor and its
successors and permitted assigns and shall inure, together with all rights and
remedies of Grantee hereunder, to the benefit of Grantee and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, Grantee may from time to time assign to one or
more persons all or any part of or otherwise grant participations to one or more
persons in all or any part of the Loan and the Note, and Grantee may assign or
16
otherwise transfer any of its rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document
to any other such person, and the holder of any such assignment or
participation, if the assignment or participation agreement so provides, shall,
with respect thereto, be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of Grantee
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Grantee may, in connection with any
such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation,
disclose any non-public information relating to Grantor furnished by or on
behalf of Grantor to Grantee. None of the rights or obligations of Grantor
hereunder or any interest of Grantor herein may be assigned or otherwise
transferred with-out the prior written consent of Grantee, and no such
at-tempted assignment or transfer of any such obligation shall relieve Grantor
therefrom unless Grantee shall have consented to such release in a writing
specifically referring to the obligation from which Grantor is to be released.
(e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and
the security interest created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to Grantor, and (ii) Grantee will, upon Grantor's
request and at Grantor's expense, (A) return to Grantor such of the Collateral
as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the
terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor
shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(f) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Grantor is a party
embody the entire agreement between Grantor and Grantee relating to the subject
matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations and
understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter thereof.
(g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only
and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
(h) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantor has caused this Agreement to be executed and
delivered by its officer there-unto duly authorized in favor of Grantee, as of
the date first above written.
