shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral of such Grantor;

--------------------------------
of the foregoing Section 5(a), if any Grantor shall hereafter obtain rights to

renewal, extension or continuation-in-part of any Patent or any improvement of
any Patent or (ii) any Copyright Registration, application for Copyright
Registration or renewals or extension of any Copyright, then in any such case,
the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Each Grantor
shall, within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Company, notify
Secured Party in writing of any of the foregoing rights acquired by such Grantor
after the date hereof or the date of the last such notice, as the case may be,
and of (i) any Trademark Registrations issued or application for a Trademark
Registration or application for a Patent made, and (ii) any Copyright

Trademark Registration; (2) Patent; and (3) Copyright Registration, each Grantor
shall execute and deliver to Secured Party and record in all places where a
Grant is recorded an IP Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit V (an
---------
"IP Supplement"), pursuant to which such Grantor shall grant to Secured Party a
-------------
security interest to the extent of its interest in such Intellectual Property
Collateral; provided, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Grantor, after due
--------
inquiry, granting such interest would result in the grant of a Trademark
Registration or Copyright Registration in the name of Secured Party, such
Grantor shall give written notice to Secured Party on the day on which such
Grantor would otherwise be required to record the IP Supplement and the filing
shall instead be undertaken as soon as practicable but in no case later than
immediately following the grant of the applicable Trademark Registration or
Copyright Registration, as the case may be. Upon delivery to Secured Party of an
IP Supplement, Schedules 1(f)(i), 1(f)(ii), and 1(f)(iii) hereto and Schedule A
to each Grant, as applicable, shall be deemed modified to include reference to
any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property Collateral or
any Intellectual Property Collateral included on Schedule A to such IP
Supplement. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to modify this
Agreement without the signature or consent of any Grantor by attaching Schedules
1(f)(i), 1(f)(ii), and 1(f)(iii), as applicable, that have been modified to
include such Intellectual Property Collateral or to delete any reference to any
right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral in which any
Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest; provided, the
--------
failure of any Grantor to execute an IP Supplement with respect to any
additional Intellectual Property Collateral pledged pursuant to this Agreement
shall not impair the security interest of Secured Party therein or otherwise
adversely affect the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect
thereto.

or other arrangement directly to Secured Party and, upon such notification and
at the expense of Grantors, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to

preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including
V-12
checks and other instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the
Accounts and the Related Contracts shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form

the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement within the meaning of this
Section, and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to Secured
Party); (ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to
utilize free and clear of the lien of this Agreement, any and all dividends,
other distributions and interest paid in respect of the Securities Collateral;

V-14
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i)
upon written notice from Secured Party to any Grantor, all rights of such
Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have
the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; (ii) all
rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions and
interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain

receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to
receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend
payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time
reasonably request, and (ii) without limiting the effect of subsection (i)

automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of
any Pledged Shares on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other
Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any officer or agent
thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only
terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
(d) Investment Property. Company shall not maintain any investment
------------------------
property with any financial or other institution unless such institution has
executed a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Collateral Agent.
Section 10. Special Covenants With Respect to the Intellectual
---------------------------------------------------------------
Property Collateral.
-------------------
(a) Each Grantor shall:
(i) diligently keep reasonable records respecting the
Intellectual Property Collateral and at all times keep at least one complete set
of its records concerning such Collateral at its chief executive office or
principal place of business;
(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts so as not to permit the
inclusion in any contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision
that could or might in any way impair or prevent the creation of a security
interest in, or the
V-15
assignment of, such Grantor's rights and interests in any property included
within the definitions of any Intellectual Property Collateral acquired
under such contracts;
(iii) take any and all reasonable steps to protect the secrecy
of all trade secrets relating to the products and services sold or
delivered under or in connection with the Intellectual Property Collateral,
including, without limitation, where appropriate entering into
confidentiality agreements with employees and labeling and restricting
access to secret information and documents;
(iv) use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of
any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, except where the failure to
give such notice would not have a Material Adverse Effect;
(v) use a commercially appropriate standard of quality (which
may be consistent with such Grantor's past practices) in the manufacture,
sale and delivery of products and services sold or delivered under or in
connection with the Trademarks; and
(vi) furnish to Secured Party from time to time at Secured
Party's reasonable request statements and schedules further identifying and
describing any Intellectual Property Collateral and such other reports in
connection with such Collateral, all in reasonable detail.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, each Grantor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any
portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take
(and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at
Secured Party's reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or
Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection
of such amounts; provided, Secured Party shall have the right at any time, upon
--------
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon
written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the obligors
with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest
created hereby and to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts
directly to Secured Party, and, upon such notification and at the expense of
such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of the
notice from Secured Party referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence
and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by each Grantor in
respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form
as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral
and applied as provided by Section 16 hereof, and (ii) such Grantor shall not
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release
wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or
discount thereon.
V-16
(c) Each Grantor shall have the duty diligently, through counsel
reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, to prosecute, file and/or make, unless
and until such Grantor, in its commercially reasonable judgment, decides
otherwise, (i) any application relating to any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral owned, held or used by such Grantor and identified on Schedules
1(f)(i), 1(f)(ii) or 1(f)(iii), as applicable, that is pending as of the date of
this Agreement, (ii) any Copyright Registration on any existing or future
unregistered but copyrightable works (except for works of nominal commercial
value or with respect to which such Grantor has determined in the exercise of
its commercially reasonable judgment that it shall not seek registration), (iii)
application on any future patentable but unpatented innovation or invention
comprising Intellectual Property Collateral, and (iv) any Trademark opposition
and cancellation proceedings, renew Trademark Registrations and Copyright
Registrations and do any and all acts which are necessary or desirable to
preserve and maintain all rights in all Intellectual Property Collateral. Any
expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be borne solely by Grantors.
Subject to the foregoing, each Grantor shall give Secured Party written notice
of any abandonment of any Intellectual Property Collateral registered with a
Governmental Authority or any pending patent application or any Patent within 45
days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Company.
(d) Except as provided herein, each Grantor shall have the right to
commence and prosecute in its own name, as real party in interest, for its own
benefit and at its own expense, such suits, proceedings or other actions for
infringement, unfair competition, dilution, misappropriation or other damage, or
reexamination or reissue proceedings as are necessary to protect the
Intellectual Property Collateral. Secured Party shall provide, at such Grantor's
expense, all reasonable and necessary cooperation in connection with any such
suit, proceeding or action including, without limitation, joining as a necessary
party. Each Grantor shall, within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter
of Company, notify Secured Party of the institution of, or of any adverse
determination likely to have a Material Adverse Effect in, any proceeding
(whether in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office or any federal, state, local or foreign court) or regarding
such Grantor's ownership, right to use, or interest in any Intellectual Property
Collateral. Each Grantor shall provide to Secured Party any information with
respect thereto requested by Secured Party.
(e) In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of
a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, hereby
assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party the nonexclusive right and
license to use all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents or technical
processes (including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property Collateral)
owned or used by such Grantor that relate to the Collateral and any other
collateral granted by such Grantor as security for the Secured Obligations,
together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to
enable Secured Party to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this
Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy
the benefits of the Collateral; provided, however, the license granted under
this Section shall not be construed to limit such Grantor's ability to take
reasonable steps, in accordance with its then current business practices, to
protect and preserve the Trademarks, the Trademark Registrations, the Trademark
Rights and the Associated Goodwill. This right shall inure to the benefit of all
successors, assigns and transferees of Secured Party and its successors, assigns
and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment,
transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and
license shall be granted free of charge, without
V-17
requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to such Grantor. In
addition, each Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party and its employees,
representatives and agents the right to visit such Grantor's and any of its
Affiliate's or subcontractor's plants, facilities and other places of business
that are utilized in connection with the manufacture, production, inspection,
storage or sale of products and services sold or delivered under any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral (or which were so utilized during the prior six
month period), and to inspect the quality control and all other records relating
thereto upon reasonable advance written notice to such Grantor and at reasonable
dates and times and as often as may be reasonably requested. To the extent that
the Credit Agreement permits any Grantor to license the Intellectual Property
Collateral, Secured Party shall promptly enter into a non-disturbance agreement
or other similar arrangement, at such Grantor's request and expense, with such
Grantor and any licensee of any Intellectual Property Collateral permitted
hereunder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party
pursuant to which (i) Secured Party shall agree not to disturb or interfere with
such licensee's rights under its license agreement with such Grantor so long as
such licensee is not in default thereunder, and (ii) such licensee shall
acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property Collateral licensed to it
is subject to the security interest created in favor of Secured Party and the
other terms of this Agreement.
Section 11. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
-----------------------------------------------------
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and
in the name of such Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in
Secured Party's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including without limitation:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such
Grantor or paid to Agent under the Credit Agreement;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to ask for, 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 of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with Sections 11(a) and (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to
any of the Collateral;
(e) except as otherwise permitted by Section 6.5 of the Credit
Agreement, to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under
this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened
against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts
necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Secured Party in its
V-18
sole discretion, any such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations
of such Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand;
(f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to sign and endorse 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; and
(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, 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
Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
Secured Party's option and Grantors' expense, at any time or from time to time,
all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein in
order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.
Section 12. Secured Party May Perform.
-------------------------
If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured
Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
Grantors under Section 17(b) hereof.
Section 13. Standard of Care.
----------------
The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in
its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which Secured Party accords its own property.
Section 14. Remedies.
--------
(a) Generally. If any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit
---------
Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise in
respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided
for herein or otherwise available to it, all 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 each Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party
and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured
Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the
property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or
without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral,
store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems
appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor's premises or place custodians
in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any
of
V-19
such Grantor's equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process,
taking any actions described in the preceding subsection (iii) and collecting
any Secured Obligation, (v) 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 Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise
dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any
Deposit Account maintained with Secured Party or any Bank constituting a part of
the Collateral and (vii) without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or to
register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the
Securities Collateral. Secured Party or any Bank may be the purchaser of any or
all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as agent for and
representative of Banks (but not any Bank in its individual capacity unless
Majority Banks shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the
purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and
apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser
at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or
right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to
such 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. Secured
Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. Secured Party 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. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable
for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to
collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Secured
Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has
occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior
to their stated maturities.
(b) Securities Collateral.
--------------------------
(i) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, and regulations
promulgated thereunder, (the "Securities Act") and applicable state
--------------
securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale
of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior
registration or qualification of such Securities Collateral under the
Securities Act
V-20
and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will
agree, among other things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their
own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may
be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a
public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and,
notwithstanding such circumstances and the registration rights granted to
Secured Party by such Grantor pursuant hereto, each Grantor agrees that any
such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage
in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the
Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party
determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities
Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each
issuer of any Pledged Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to
furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request
in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included
in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt
transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to
time in effect.
(ii) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to
sell all or any of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this Section, each
Grantor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party (which request may be
made by Secured Party in its sole discretion), such Grantor will, at its
own expense (A) execute and deliver, and cause each issuer of the
Securities Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and
officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and
documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as
may be necessary or, in the opinion of Secured Party, advisable to register
such Securities Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act and
to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective
and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law
to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to
the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Secured Party, are
necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission applicable thereto; (B) use its best efforts to qualify the
Securities Collateral under all applicable state securities or "Blue Sky"
laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the
Securities Collateral, as requested by Secured Party; (C) cause each such
issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable,
an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act; (D) do or cause to be done all such other acts and
things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Securities Collateral
or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable
law; and (E) bear all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, of carrying out its obligations under this Section.
V-21
(iii) Without limiting the generality of Sections 10.4 and 10.5
of the Credit Agreement, in the event of any public sale described herein,
each Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (to the maximum extent
permitted under the Securities Act or other applicable law) Secured Party
and each Bank and each of their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents from and against any loss, fee, cost, expense, damage, liability
or claim, joint or several, to which any such Persons may become subject or
for which any of them may be liable, under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, fees, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or
claims (or any litigation commenced or threatened in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, registration
statement, prospectus or other such document published or filed in
connection with such public sale, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will (to the maximum extent
permitted under the Securities Act or other applicable law) reimburse
Secured Party and such other Persons for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by Secured Party and such other Persons in connection
with any litigation, of any nature whatsoever, commenced or threatened in
respect thereof (including any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever
reasonably incurred by Secured Party and such other Persons and counsel for
Secured Party and such other Persons in investigating, preparing for,
defending against or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any
other action in respect of, any such commenced or threatened litigation or
any claims asserted). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability
which any Grantor may otherwise have and shall extend upon the same terms
and conditions to each Person, if any, that controls Secured Party or such
Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act.
Section 15. Additional Remedies for Intellectual Property Collateral.
--------------------------------------------------------
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Secured
Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name
of any Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, to enforce any Intellectual Property
Collateral, in which event each Grantor shall, at the request of Secured Party,
do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Secured
Party in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand,
reimburse and indemnify Secured Party as provided in Sections 10.4 and 10.5 of
the Credit Agreement and Section 17 hereof, as applicable, in connection with
the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that Secured
Party shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property
Collateral as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all
reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to
prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by
others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment
in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing
reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from
Secured Party, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party an
assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other
documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes
of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or
recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured
V-22
Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Secured Party (or any Bank)
receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the
Intellectual Property Collateral; and (iv) within five Business Days after
written notice from Secured Party, each Grantor shall make available to Secured
Party, to the extent within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel
in such Grantor's employ on the date of such Event of Default as Secured Party
may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such
Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the
products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection
with the Trademarks, Trademark Registrations and Trademark Rights, such persons
to be available to perform their prior functions on Secured Party's behalf and
to be compensated by Secured Party at such Grantor's expense on a per diem, pro-
rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each
as of the date of such Event of Default.
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of
cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing,
(ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an
assignment to Secured Party of any rights, title and interests in and to the
Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the
Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the
written request of any Grantor, Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver
to such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor
any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Secured Party
as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by
Secured Party; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, Secured
--------
Party's security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights
and remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full
force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
-------- -------
reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any)
encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to
Secured Party and Liens expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement.
Section 16. Application of Proceeds.
-----------------------
Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement and in the
Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priority:
FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale,
collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to
Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in connection
therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured Party hereunder
for the account of Grantors, and to the payment of all costs and expenses
paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder;
SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the
ratable benefit of the holders thereof) and, as to obligations arising
under the Credit Agreement, as provided in the Credit Agreement; and
V-23
THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Company, or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such
proceeds.
Section 17. Indemnity and Expenses.
----------------------
(a) Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured
Party and each Bank from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities
in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation enforcement of
this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result
solely from Secured Party's or such Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Subject to Section 6.7 of the Credit Agreement, Grantors
jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand (i) the amount
of any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may
incur in connection with the administration of this Agreement or the failure by
any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof and (ii) the
amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in
connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured
Party hereunder.
(c) The obligations of Grantors in this Section 17 shall (i)
survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors' other
obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and (ii) as to any Grantor that is a party to a Guaranty, be subject
to the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.
Section 18. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans;
-----------------------------------------------
Termination and Release.
-----------------------
(a) 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 of the Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the
Commitments, (ii) be binding upon Grantors and their respective successors and
assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party
hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (iii), but
subject to the provisions of Sections 10.7 and 10.8 of the Credit Agreement, any
Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to Banks herein or otherwise.
(b) Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the
cancellation or termination of the Commitments, the security interest granted
hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the
applicable Grantors. Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at Grantors'
expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination. In addition, upon the proposed
sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by a Grantor in accordance
with the Credit Agreement for which such Grantor desires to obtain a security
interest release from Secured
V-24
Party, such Grantor shall deliver an officers' certificate (i) stating that the
Collateral subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and (ii)
specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in
the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such officers' certificate,
Secured Party shall, at such Grantor's expense, so long as Secured Party has no
reason to believe that the officers' certificate delivered by such Grantor with
respect to such sale is not true and correct, execute and deliver such releases
of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred
or disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor.
Section 19. Secured Party as Agent.
----------------------
(a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party
hereunder by Banks. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right
hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including
without limitation the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that Secured
--------
Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in
Section 14 hereof in accordance with the instructions of Majority Banks.
(b) Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is
Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement shall also
constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; removal
of Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement shall also
constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of a
successor collateral agent pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement
shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under this
Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent under
Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement by a successor collateral agent, that
successor collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Secured
Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured Party under this
Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured Party all sums,
securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all
records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement,
and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to
financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or
appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of
the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed
Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring or removed collateral agent's resignation or
removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
Section 20. Additional Grantors.
-------------------
The initial Subsidiary Grantors hereunder shall be such of the Subsidiaries
of Company as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to time
subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may become
parties hereto as additional Grantors (each an
V-25
"Additional Grantor"), by executing a counterpart substantially in the form of
------------------
Exhibit VI to this Agreement. Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Secured
----------
Party, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional
Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such
Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly
agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or
diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any
election of Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional
Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor
that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes
or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
Section 21. Amendments; Etc.
----------------
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of 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 signed by Secured
Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors;
provided this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a counterpart by an
--------
Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 20 hereof and Grantors hereby
waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it was given.
Section 22. Notices.
-------
(a) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement,
all notices, requests and other communications provided for hereunder shall be

confirmed by a telephone call to the recipient at the number specified on the
applicable signature page hereof, and (ii) shall be followed promptly by a hard

to the other parties, and as to each other party, at such other address as shall
be designated by such party in a written notice to each Grantor and Collateral
Agent.

be effective when delivered for overnight delivery or to the telegraph company,
transmitted by telecopier, confirmed by telex answerback or delivered to the
cable company, respectively, or if delivered, upon delivery.
Section 23. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies
------------------------------------------
Cumulative.
----------
No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any
power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege
or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
V-26
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
Section 24. Severability.
------------

provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
