Obligations resulting from such payment by such Grantor. In furtherance of the
foregoing, for so long as any Secured Obligations or Commitments remain
outstanding, each Grantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any

continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of
the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor where permitted by law. A

THE AGENT
SECTION 5.1. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor
or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, to take any action
and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without
limitation:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive
and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a)
above;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and
12
13
(d) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder
(including all obligations of such Grantor pursuant to Section 4.1.7).
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
SECTION 5.2. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 6.2.
SECTION 5.3. Agent Has No Duty. In addition to, and not in limitation of,
Section 2.5, the powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect
its interest (on behalf of the Lender Parties) in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received
by it hereunder, the Agent 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.
SECTION 5.4. Reasonable Care. The Agent is required to exercise reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided, however, that the Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if it takes such
action for that purpose as any Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times
other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, but failure of the Agent to comply with any such request at any time
shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:
(a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition
to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to

U.C.C. (whether or not the U.C.C. 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 the Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
Agent and make it available to the Agent at a place to be designated
by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties; and
(ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any of the Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery (without assumption of any credit
risk), and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially
reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days' prior 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. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent
may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which
it was so adjourned.
(b) All cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as
collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after
payment of any amounts payable to the
13
14
Agent pursuant to Section 6.2) in whole or in part by the Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lender Parties against, all or any part of the
Secured Obligations in the following order:

pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement or Section 6.2
hereof and unpaid fees owing to the Agent under the Credit
Agreement;

interest under the Credit Agreement, the Acquisition Loans and the
Revolving Loans;
(iii) third, to the ratable payment of unpaid principal of the
Acquisition Loans under the Credit Agreement;
(iv) fourth, to the ratable payment of the unpaid principal
amount of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable by the
Obligors under the Credit Agreement; and
(v) fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured
Obligations, until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in
full.
The Agent may make distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable
basis, in any combination thereof. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds
held by the Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured
Obligations shall be paid over to each Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus.
SECTION 6.2. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify
the Agent and the other Lender Parties from and against any and all claims,
losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this Security Agreement

claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or
wilful misconduct.

all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its
