account (a "Government Contract Cash Collateral Account") which will contain
-------------------------------------------
moneys paid by a Governmental Authority to the Agent under a Government Contract
and pursuant to an Instrument of Assignment, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D-1, or any other equivalent instrument of assignment executed and
delivered by such Grantor. Any moneys received by the Agent directly from a
Governmental Authority obligated to make payments under a Government Contract to
such Grantor or from such Grantor pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.06,

commercial paper, wire transfer, ACH method or other form of cash Proceeds
received as moneys paid pursuant to a Government Contract, shall be deposited

until so deposited shall be held in trust for the Agent and the Secured Parties.
Such moneys received, when deposited, shall continue to be security for the
Secured Obligations (until withdrawn by the Agent and transferred to the
applicable Grantor) and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as
hereinafter provided. Except as provided in this Section 2.06, the Agent shall
have sole dominion and control over the funds deposited in each of the
Government Contract Cash Collateral Accounts, and such funds may be withdrawn
therefrom only by the Agent, provided, however, so long as no Event of Default
-------- -------
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall transfer to an account
designated by the applicable Grantor any funds that have been deposited in a
Government Contract Cash Collateral Account (i) on the same Business Day of such
deposit therein if such deposit is made on or prior to 12:00 (noon), Charlotte
time, and (ii) on the next Business Day of such deposit therein if such deposit
is made after 12:00 (noon), Charlotte time. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Grantor to receive funds
from the Government Contract Cash Collateral Account shall be terminated and the
Agent shall have sole dominion and control over the funds (including all rights
under Article VI of this Agreement with respect to such funds) deposited in the

Government Contracts that are being deposited into a Government Contract Cash
Collateral Account) of a particular Grantor. Any cash proceeds (as such term is
defined in Section 9-306(1) of the UCC) received by the Agent directly from
Account Debtors obligated to make payments under Receivables or General
Intangibles to such Grantor or from such Grantor pursuant to clause (c) of this
Section 2.06, whether consisting of checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange,
money orders, commercial paper or other Proceeds received on account of any
Collateral, shall be promptly
-11-
deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, and until so deposited shall be held
in trust for the Agent and the Secured Parties and shall not be commingled with
any funds not constituting Proceeds of the Collateral. Each Cash Collateral
Account shall be designated with the title "NationsBank, N.A. (South), as Agent
under the Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 1996 among Firearms Training
Systems, Inc., the Lenders party thereto and the Agent." Such Proceeds, when
deposited, shall continue to be security for the Secured Obligations and shall
not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. The Agent
shall have sole dominion and control over the funds (including all rights under
Article VI of this Agreement with respect to such funds) deposited in the Cash
Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Agent.

respect to a Government Contract subject to an Instrument of Assignment,
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1, or any other equivalent instrument of
assignment to be delivered to the Agent forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor,
and upon notice by the Agent to the Borrower, that a Cash Collateral Account has
been opened, each Grantor shall cause all other cash Proceeds collected by it to
be delivered to the Agent forthwith upon receipt, in each case, in the original

necessary to permit collection thereof by the Agent), and for such purpose each
Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent, its officers,
employees and authorized agents to endorse and sign the name of such Grantor on
all checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment so delivered, and
such endorsements or assignments shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been
made by such Grantor prior to any endorsement or assignment thereof by the
Agent. The Agent may use any convenient or customary means for the purpose of
collecting such checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment.
SECTION 2.07. Verification of Receivables. Upon the occurrence and

during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to

its own expense, will cause its financial officer to furnish to the Agent at any
time and from time to time promptly upon the Agent's request, the following
reports: (a) a reconciliation of all Receivables, (b) an aging of all
Receivables, (c) trial balances and (d) a test verification of such Receivables

-12-
realized upon or disposed of (but not in the Proceeds arising from such sale,
realization or disposition) shall cease immediately upon such sale, realization
or disposition, without any further action on the part of the Agent or the
Secured Parties, provided that the Permitted Drop Down Transaction permitted
--------
under Section 6.05(a)(iv)(E) of the Credit Agreement shall not constitute a
release of the security interests granted hereunder in the Collateral (such
security interests remaining vested (i) in the Collateral regardless of whether
title passes to Newco after FATS' contribution to Newco pursuant to the
Permitted Drop Down Transaction, (ii) in any Collateral retained by FATS after

contribution). The Agent, if requested in writing by any Grantor, but at the
expense of such Grantor, is hereby authorized and instructed to deliver to the
Account Debtor or the purchaser or other transferee of any such Collateral,
applicable UCC termination statements for such Collateral and a certificate
stating that the Agent and the Secured Parties no longer have a security
interest therein, and such Account Debtor or such purchaser or other transferee

purposes.

Obligations, (ii) the termination of the Commitments, (iii) the cancellation or

Agent in writing of any change in law known to it which (a) adversely affects or
will adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the security
interests granted hereby, (b) requires or will require a change in the
procedures to be followed in order to maintain and protect such validity,
perfection and priority or (c) could result in the Agent not having a perfected
security interest in any of the Collateral.
SECTION 4.17. Right of Inspection. Each Grantor will, at such Grantor's
-------------------
cost and expense, permit any representatives designated by the Agent or the
Required Lenders to visit and inspect the financial records, the Documents or

reasonably requested, and to make extracts from and copies of such financial
records or Documents, and permit any representatives designated by the Agent or

Grantor with the officers thereof and independent accountants therefor (with
representatives of the Borrower present unless an Event of Default or Default
has occurred and is continuing).
SECTION 4.18. Maintenance of Equipment. Each Grantor will, at its
------------------------
expense, in all material respects maintain the Equipment in standard industry
operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
SECTION 4.19. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright

sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor's
business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of
abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice
of federal registration to the extent required by applicable law and (iv) not
knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any
third party rights.
(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for each
Patent, not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which is
material to the conduct of such Grantor's business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and shall continue to xxxx any products covered by a
Patent with the relevant patent number as required by the Patent laws.
(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for each work
covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt
and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as required under the

or has reason to know that any Patent,
-24-
Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business may become
abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any material adverse determination
or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or
development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Grantor's ownership
of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to
keep and maintain the same.
(e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States
Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the
United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof,
unless it promptly informs the Agent in writing, and, upon request of the Agent,
executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers
as may be required or the Agent may request to evidence the Agent's security
interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright of such Grantor relating thereto
or represented thereby, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent its attorney-
in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts
of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled
with an interest, is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are indefeasibly
paid in full in cash, the Commitments are terminated, the cancellation or
expiration of all Letters of Credit and the reimbursement in full of all amounts
drawn thereunder and all terms and conditions hereof, the Credit Agreement, the
Notes, the Collateral Documents and all other documents or agreements governing
the Secured Obligations have been satisfied.
(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the
practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political
subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political
subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application relating
to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant
or registration) and to maintain each registration of the Patents, Trademarks
and Copyrights which is material to the conduct of such Grantor's business,
including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits
of incontestability and maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business
judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings
against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or
Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor's business is believed
infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall
notify the Agent promptly after it learns thereof and shall, if consistent with
good business judgment, promptly xxx for infringement,
-25-
misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such
infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as are
appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Collateral.
SECTION 4.20. Reimbursement Obligation. Should any Grantor fail to
------------------------
comply with the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement relating to
the Collateral (including any Capital Lease Obligation or other lease
obligation) such that the value of any Collateral, any leased Equipment or the
validity, perfection, rank or value of any security interest granted to the
Agent hereunder or thereunder is thereby diminished or potentially diminished in
any material respect or put at risk in any material respect (as reasonably
determined by the Agent), the Agent on behalf of such Grantor may, but shall not
be required to, effect such compliance on behalf of such Grantor, and such
Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for the costs thereof on demand, and interest
shall accrue on any such unpaid reimbursement obligation from the date the
relevant costs are incurred until reimbursement thereof in full at the default
rate provided in Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.21. Bank Accounts. None of the Grantors will establish after
-------------
the date hereof or permit to exist any demand, time, savings, passbook,
collection, operating, investment or other like type of account relating in any

collateral accounts with the Agent required under, and maintained in accordance
with, the Credit Agreement) without immediately causing such account to be an
Agency Account.

obligation hereunder to amend, revise and update, as need be, any and all
schedules hereto so that such schedules accurately reflect the information set

not include advance progress payment financing with a Governmental Authority and
(iii) does not include an anti-assignment of claims provision (as referenced
pursuant to 48 CFR 32.803(b)) that prohibits moneys due or to become due
thereunder from being assigned to the Agent.
ARTICLE V

-----------------------------------------------------
Voting. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
------

other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Interests or any part
thereof for any purpose permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement.
(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest and principal paid in cash on the Pledged Securities to

dividends, interest and principal paid or payable in cash or otherwise in
connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of

cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of the outstanding Capital Stock of the issuer of any
Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any
part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer
may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral,
and, if received by a Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with
any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart
therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and shall be
forthwith delivered to the Agent in the form in which received (with any
necessary endorsement).
(iii) The Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies, powers of attorney, consents,
ratifications and waivers and other instruments as each Grantor may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling each Grantor to exercise the
voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments which
it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) All rights of any Grantor to receive the dividends and interest
payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights
-27-
shall thereupon become vested in the Agent which shall thereupon have the
sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and interest
payments.
(ii) All dividends and interest payments which are received by any
Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 5.01(b)
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsement).
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
all rights of each Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights
which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(i)

which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other
consensual rights.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT
SECTION 6.01. UCC Rights. If any Event of Default shall have occurred,
----------
the Agent may, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in
this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Secured Obligations, exercise all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC and all other rights available to the Agent at law
or in equity.
SECTION 6.02. Payments on Collateral. Without limiting the rights of the
----------------------
Agent under any other provision of this Agreement, if an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing:
(a) The Agent may, or upon the request of the Agent each Grantor shall,
notify Account Debtors obligated to make payments under any or all
Receivables or General Intangibles that the Agent and the other Secured
Parties have a security interest in such Collateral and that payments shall
be made directly to, or to a Cash Collateral Account designated by, the
Agent. Each Grantor will use all reasonable efforts to cause each Account
Debtor to comply with the foregoing instruction. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each Grantor authorizes the Agent (i) to ask for, demand,
collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all amounts
due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Grantor
or its own name or otherwise, (ii) to take possession of, endorse and
collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the
payment of moneys due under
-28-
any Collateral (including by filing a Notice of Assignment, substantially
in the form of Exhibit D-2, or any other instrument of document with any
Governmental Authority) and (iii) to file any claim or take any other
action in any court of law or equity or otherwise which it may deem
appropriate for the purpose of collecting any amounts due under any
Collateral;
(b) all payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any
of the Collateral shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent,
shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith
upon receipt by such Grantor be turned over to the Agent, in the same form
as received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by each Grantor to the Agent, if
required to permit collection thereof by the Agent); and
(c) all such payments received by the Agent (whether from a Grantor or
otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent
as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be
applied in whole or in part by the Agent to the payment of the expenses and
Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 6.11.
SECTION 6.03. Possession of Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing,
------------------------
each Grantor expressly agrees that, if an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Agent may (a) by judicial powers, or without judicial process if
it can be done without breach of the peace, enter any premises where any of such
Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to the Agent
seize and remove such Collateral from such premises and (b) have access to and
use of such Grantor's Documents.
SECTION 6.04. Sale of Collateral. (a) Each Grantor expressly agrees
------------------
that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent, without
demand of performance or other demand or notice of any kind (except the notice
specified below of the time and place of any public or private sale) to any
Grantor or any other person (all of which demands and/or notices are hereby
waived by each Grantor), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral and/or forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or
options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or
contract to do so) or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any office of the Agent or
elsewhere in such manner as is commercially reasonable and as the Agent may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any
credit risk. The Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such
public sale and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to
purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold. Each Grantor further
agrees, at the Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral, and to make it
-29-
available to the Agent at places which the Agent may reasonably select. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and
demands against the Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the foreclosure,
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral.
(b) Unless the Collateral threatens to decline quickly in value or is of a
type customarily sold in a recognized market, the Agent shall give such Grantor
10 days' written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale
or sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange. Such notice shall (i)
in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii)
in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, state the
board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the
Collateral, or any portion thereof being sold, will first be offered for sale
and (iii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may
be consummated. The Agent shall not be required or obligated to make any such
sale pursuant to any such notice. The Agent may adjourn any public or private
sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or
any part of the Collateral for credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so
sold may be retained by the Agent until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser thereof, but the Agent shall not incur any liability in case of
failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of
such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of Purchasers. Upon any sale of the Collateral
--------------------
(whether public or private), the Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign
and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser
(including the Agent and the other Secured Parties) at any such sale shall hold
the Collateral so sold free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including
any equity or right of redemption of any Grantor, and each Grantor, to the
extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption,
including the right to redeem the Collateral under (S) 9-506 of the UCC, and any
right to a judicial or other stay or approval which it has or may have under any
law now existing or hereafter adopted.
SECTION 6.06. Additional Rights of the Agent. Upon the occurrence and
------------------------------
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) The Agent shall have the right and power to institute and maintain
such suits and proceedings as it may deem appropriate to protect and
enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and may proceed by suit
or suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon
and sell the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to the judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
-30-
(b) The Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to
the solvency or insolvency at the time of any person then liable for the
payment of any of the Secured Obligations or the then value of the
Collateral, and without requiring any bond from any party to such
proceedings, be entitled to the appointment of a special receiver or
receivers (who may be the Agent or any other Secured Party) for the
Collateral or any part thereof and for the rents, issues, tolls, profits,
royalties, revenues and other income therefrom, which receiver shall have
such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the
entry of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits,
royalties, revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole
or any part of the Collateral be segregated, sequestered and impounded for
the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Grantor
irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver or receivers and
to the entry of such order.
SECTION 6.07. Securities Act, etc. (a) In view of the position of the
-------------------
applicable Grantor in relation to its Pledged Securities, or because of other
present or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act
of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted
analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from
time to time in effect being herein called the "Federal Securities Laws"), with
-----------------------
respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each
Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very
strictly limit the course of conduct of the Agent if the Agent were to attempt
to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and might also limit
the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any such
Pledged Securities could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other
legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent and the other Secured
Parties in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Securities under
applicable blue sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in
purpose or effect.
Accordingly, each Grantor expressly agrees that the Agent is authorized, in
connection with any sale of the Pledged Securities, if the Agent deems it
advisable so to do, (a) to restrict the prospective bidders on or purchasers of
any of the Pledged Securities to a limited number of sophisticated investors who
will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of such
Pledged Securities, (b) to cause to be placed on certificates for any or all of
the Pledged Securities or on any other securities pledged hereunder a legend to
the effect that such security has not been registered under the Federal
Securities Laws and may not be disposed of in violation of the provision of the
Federal Securities Laws and (c)
-31-
to impose such other limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale
as the Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the Federal
Securities Laws or any other law. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will
execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Agent deems
necessary or advisable in order to comply with the Federal Securities Laws or
any other law. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that such limitations may
result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such
limitations were not imposed, and, notwithstanding such limitations, agrees that
any such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner, it being the agreement of each Grantor, the Agent and the other Secured
Parties that the provisions of this Section 6.07 will apply notwithstanding the
existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales
prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells the Pledged
Securities. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any
Pledged Securities for a period of time necessary to permit the issuer of any
securities contained therein to register such securities under the Federal
Securities Laws, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the issuer
would agree to do so.
(b) Borrower hereby acknowledges the provisions of each Section 6.05 set
forth in the Buyer Pledge Agreement, the Seller Pledge Agreement and the Parent
Pledge Agreement and agrees to comply with the requirements set forth in such
sections as they relate to the Borrower.
SECTION 6.08. Remedies Not Exclusive. (a) No remedy conferred upon or
----------------------
reserved to the Agent in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute.
(b) If the Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power
under this Agreement and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Agent, each Grantor and the Agent shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to
their former positions and rights under this Agreement, and thereafter all
rights, remedies and powers of the Agent shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken.
(c) All rights of action under this Agreement may be enforced by the Agent
without the possession of any instrument evidencing any Secured Obligation or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any suit or proceeding instituted by the Agent shall be brought in its name and
any judgment shall be held as part of the Collateral.
-32-
SECTION 6.09. Waiver and Estoppel. (a) Each Grantor, to the extent it
-------------------
may lawfully do so, agrees that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law now or hereafter
in force permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold
which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of
this Agreement and each Grantor hereby waives the benefits or advantage of all
such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power granted to the Agent in this Agreement but will permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law were in force; provided that
--------
nothing contained in this Section 6.09 shall be construed as a waiver of any
rights of such Grantor under any applicable federal bankruptcy law.
(b) Each Grantor, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself
and all who may claim through or under it, including any and all subsequent
creditors, vendees,
assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any
marshalling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of
sale granted herein or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure
or any enforcement of this Agreement and consents and agrees that all of the
Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.
(c) Each Grantor, to the extent it may lawfully do so, waives presentment,
demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except notices explicitly required
hereunder) in connection with this Agreement and any action taken by the Agent
with respect to the Collateral.
SECTION 6.10. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
-----------------
constitutes and appoints the Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own
name, from time to time in the Agent's reasonable discretion for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on
behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor to do the
following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to effect any
-33-
repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to
pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
(c) upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default and
otherwise to the extent provided in this Agreement, (i) to direct any party
liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any
and all moneys due and to come due thereunder directly to the Agent or as
the Agent shall direct; (ii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and
all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and indorse any
invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in
connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral;
(iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or
in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral
or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;
(v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor
with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise and adjust any
suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to
give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (vii)
to assign any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (along with the goodwill of
the business to which such Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on
such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole
discretion determine; (viii) to license or, to the extent permitted by any
applicable law, sub-license, whether general, special or otherwise, and
whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions,
and in such manner, as the Agent shall determine (other than in violation
of any then existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers or
other adequate provision cannot be secured therefor); and (ix) generally to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise
deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent
were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the option
of the Agent and each Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and the Agent's security interest therein, in
order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively
as such Grantor might do.
-34-
Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
Except as provided for by law or the UCC or its equivalent, nothing herein
contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by the Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any
action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or
to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action
taken by the Agent or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of
any Grantor or to any claim or action against the Agent. It is understood and
agreed that the appointment of the Agent as the agent of each Grantor for the
purposes set forth above in this Section 6.10 is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall in no event relieve any
Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Collateral or
any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Agent to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Agent of any other or further right which it may
have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder or by law or
otherwise.
SECTION 6.11. Application of Proceeds. (a) The Agent shall apply the
-----------------------
proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral
consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
the Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan
Document) and the Lenders in connection with such collection or sale or
otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Secured
Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses
of their respective agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all
reasonable advances made by the Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under
any other Loan Document and all reasonable costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (the amounts so
applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance
with the amounts of the Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any
such distribution); and
-35-
THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
The Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any
sale of the Collateral by the Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale
granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Agent or
of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser
or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall
not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money
paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.
(b) In the event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale as aforesaid are insufficient to pay all
amounts to which the Agent or any or all of the Lenders are legally entitled,
the Grantors will be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together
with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, and the reasonable fees of any
attorneys employed by the Agent or any or all of the Lenders to collect such
deficiency, pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.12. Grant of License or Sub-License to Use Patent, Trademark,
---------------------------------------------------------
Copyright and License Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Agent to
--------------------------------
exercise rights and remedies under this Article VI at such time as the Agent
shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor
hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use,
license or sub-license any Patent, Trademark, Copyright or License now owned or
licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Grantor, and wherever the
same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all
media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
The use of such license or sub-license by the Agent shall be exercised, at the
option of the Agent, upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of
Default; provided that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered
--------
into by the Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the applicable
Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. The Agent
agrees to apply the net proceeds received from any such license as provided in
Section 6.11 hereof; provided that no such license shall be conferred hereby
--------
with respect to any Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights licensed by the Grantors
if and to the extent that the terms of the applicable License to which such
Grantor is a party would prohibit such license to the Agent.

SECTION 7.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
---------------------
representations and warranties made by each Grantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Agent and the Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the
Loans and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of the Notes evidencing such
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf,
and shall continue in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations have
been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Commitments have been terminated,
the cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the reimbursement in
full of all amounts drawn thereunder and all terms and conditions hereof, the
Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and all other documents or

provided that the obligations of each Grantor under Section 4.20 shall survive
--------
any such termination.
SECTION 7.03. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the
------------
parties hereto in several counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed
to be an original, admissible into evidence, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party
delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
-37-
telefacsimile shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement, but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not
affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

---------------
any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by any Grantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and shall be executed and delivered in accordance with Section 9.08 of the

be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended, modified or
--------
waived with respect to any Grantor, including by releasing any Grantor
hereunder, without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the
obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. Assignments. This Agreement and the terms, covenants and
-----------
conditions hereof shall be binding upon each Grantor and its successors and
shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns. Upon the assignment by any Lender of all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including
all or any portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it) to any other
person, such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to such transferor or assignor herein or otherwise.
Except as permitted by the Permitted Drop Down Transaction, none of the Grantors
shall be permitted to assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement (and any such purported assignment, transfer or
delegation without such consent shall be void).
SECTION 7.06. Savings Clause. In the event any one or more of the
--------------
provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect with respect to any Grantor, no party hereto shall
be required to comply with such provision with respect to such Grantor for so
long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein, and of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with respect to
any other Grantor, shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 7.07. Supplemental Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by the
----------------------
Agent and a Subsidiary of a Supplemental Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit I to the Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall
-38-
not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and
obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
-------------
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan
----------------
Documents, and the Fee Letter constitute the entire contract between the parties
relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
and the Secured Parties, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under
or by reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.10. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Agent
-------------------
or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power
or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by such person preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. All remedies hereunder and under the Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
SECTION 7.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of

LICENSES
--------
The following licenses, permits and authorizations have been
issued or granted to the Borrower:
1. The Borrower has a Class 11 license from the ATF to import destructive
devices, ammunition for destructive devices or armor piercing ammunition.
2. The Borrower has a Class 10 license from the ATF that authorizes the Company
to be a manufacturer of destructive devices, ammunition for destructive
devices, or armor piercing ammunition.
3. The Borrower is registered with the Director of ATF as a person engaged in
the business of importing articles enumerated on the U.S. Munitions Import
List. The Company currently has a valid ATF Form 4587 which reflects this
status.
4. The Borrower is registered with the Department of state, Office of Defense
Trade Controls ("ODTC"), as an exporter of Munitions List articles.
5. The Borrower is subject to the export licensing jurisdiction of the State
Department and the Department of Commerce ("Commerce") for the temporary or
permanent export of its products and the import of weapons for modification.
The jurisdiction is based on the Arms Export Control Act and the Export
Administration Act. The Borrower initially approached the office of Defense
Trade Controls ("DTC") in 1987 as to whether its proprietary system
required licensing by the Department of State under the auspices of the Arms
Export Control Act. DTC subsequently advised the Borrower that in their view,
the products were under the export licensing jurisdiction of Commerce.
The Borrower subsequently obtained formal commodity classifications from
Commerce for the modified firearms simulation devices and for the firearms
training simulators. In late 1995, DTC challenged Commerce jurisdiction with
respect to export licensing of the Borrower's products. The Borrower has made
substantial filings and an oral presentation to DTC on this subject.
It now appears that the firearms simulators (for which the Borrower has sua
sponte for some time obtained DTC licenses) and those disks going to military
customers overseas will require DTC licenses. The simulator system itself and
disks going to civilian entities will remain within the jurisdiction of Commerce
for export licensing purposes. This result is tentative and subject to formal
confirmation by DTC.
6. The Borrower is federally registered as an employer.
7. The Borrower is not required to hold any Food & Drug Administration ("FDA")
permits, but is required to file a report annually (regarding laser
compliance) which specifies the type and quantity of basic products
produced. FDA has not questioned the Borrower's contention that its products
are Laser Class 1. Laser Class 1 is "not considered to be hazardous" (21 CFR
(S) 1040.10(b)(5), n.1).
8. The Borrower has filed registration for Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, as a registered
lobbyist in the United States Congress, Form LD-1, Jan. 1996, pursuant to
the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.
9. The Borrower is registered as a foreign corporation in Alaska, California,
Florida, Georgia, Indiana and Maryland.
10. The Borrower has a Forsyth County (Georgia) business license and a City of
Spokane (Washington) business license.
11. The Borrower has EPA ID number GA000901074.
12. With respect to the ATF and ODTC licenses and registrations, notices of
change of control will be submitted within 5 or 30 days of the Closing Date,
as applicable. Any subsequent change of control will also require post-
change notice.
The Borrower also has the following licenses or other agreements:
1. A license Agreement with Acceleration Technology, Inc., to use its "Nucleus
RTX" software and associated documentation.
2. The Borrower is required to purchase from Microware a license label for each
of its XXXX XX, XXXX XX FX, FATS L.E. and FATS III Model Systems in
accordance with its agreement regarding the use of Microware's OS9 software
package.

------
Agreement"), among the Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto as
lenders (the "Lenders") and the Agent.
-------
The Secured Parties have extended or agreed to extend certain loans, purchase

be guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Borrower and secured in whole or in
part pursuant to one or more agreements, instruments and other documents
(collectively, the "Security Agreements") granting security interests in and

----------
subsidiaries (the Borrower and the subsidiaries are referred to herein
collectively as the "Debtors" and each is referred to herein as a "Debtor").
------- ------

interest or lien in respect of any of the Collateral (including without
limitation any right of distraint, levy, execution or sale) that the Landlord
may have or acquire for any reason or in any manner (including by reason of the
Collateral being installed in or on, attached to or located in or on the
Premises, or otherwise), whether arising under any agreement, instrument or law
now or hereafter in effect, is hereby made fully subordinate, subject and
inferior to every right, claim, title, interest and lien in respect of the
Collateral in favor of the Agent and the Secured Parties or any of them to the
full extent that the same secures or may hereafter secure any and all
obligations and indebtedness of every kind, now existing or hereafter arising,
of the
Debtors, or any of them, to the Secured Parties, and (iii) further agrees that
the Collateral is and will remain personal property and will not become part of
the Premises.
2. The Landlord hereby agrees that so long as this Agreement is in
effect, the Landlord shall not exercise or attempt to exercise any right, assert
any claim, title or interest in or lien upon, or take any action or institute
any proceedings with respect to, the Collateral. The Landlord agrees to use all
reasonable efforts to give the Agent written notice of any event which, with or
without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could result in the
creation of the right of the Landlord to terminate any lease ("Lease") covering
-----
all or any part of the Premises or to accelerate any rent due thereunder. The
Landlord, simultaneously with the giving by the Landlord of any notice of
default to the then tenant under a Lease, shall send by registered or certified

notice to the Landlord (which may be oral), enter the Premises without the
consent of the Landlord and remove and take possession of the Collateral free of
any right, claim, title, interest or lien of the Landlord, provided the Secured
Parties restore any parts of the Premises physically damaged by them in the
course of removal to the condition such parts were in prior to such entry and
removal of the Collateral (but the foregoing shall not impose any liability upon
any Secured Party for any damage by fire or other insurable casualty).
4. The provisions hereof shall be irrevocable and remain in full force and
effect until each Debtor has fully paid and performed all of its obligations to
the Secured Parties under and in accordance with the terms of all present and
future agreements, instruments and documents evidencing such obligations and all
present and future Security Agreements (in each case including any extensions,
modifications and renewals thereof or substitutions therefor at any time made),
and until all obligations, if any, of the Secured Parties to extend loans,
advances, or provide other financial accommodations to the Debtors (including
any commitment to lend or issue or confirm or participate in letters of credit)
shall be terminated.
5. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Landlord and its successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their
respective successors, assigns and designees. The Landlord agrees to make this
Agreement known to any transferee of the Premises and any person who may have an
interest or right in the Premises. The Landlord acknowledges and agrees that
the provisions set forth in this Agreement are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and consideration to each Secured Party to make, or to permit to
remain outstanding, loans, advances and financial accommodations to the Debtors,
