compliance with this subparagraph.

Debtor's service marks or any registration or application appurtenant
thereto, may become abandoned, invalidated, unenforceable, avoided,
avoidable, or will otherwise diminish in value, and shall notify Secured

upon such terms, for such periods, and written by such companies or
underwriters as Secured Party may approve, losses in all cases to be
payable to Secured Party and Debtor as their interest may appear. Secured
Party may act as attorney for Debtor in making, adjusting and settling
claims under or canceling such insurance and endorsing Debtor's name on any

reasonably deem desirable in obtaining the full benefits of this Security
Agreement, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or
continuation statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to
the liens and security interests granted hereby. Debtor hereby authorizes
Secured Party to file any such financing or continuation statement without
the signature of Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(m) That Debtor hereby indemnifies and holds Secured Party, its officers,
directors, employees and shareholders, harmless from and against any claim,
suit, loss, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of this Security Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or Debtor's
operation of its business from the use of the Collateral.
(n) That Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party, and its
successors and assigns, Debtor's true and lawful attorney, with full power
(in the name of Debtor or otherwise), after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (defined in Section 4 below), to ask,
require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time under,
or arising out of, the Collateral; to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith; to enforce all Secured
Party's rights hereunder, to enter into all agreements or instruments
required to carry out the terms hereof which are required to be performed
by Debtor; to execute such other assignments and mortgages of the
Collateral as Secured Party may deem to be necessary or advisable. Such
power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and,
therefore, irrevocable.
3. Until an Event of Default, Debtor may have possession of the Collateral
and use it in any lawful manner, and upon an Event of Default, Secured Party
shall have the immediate right to the possession of the Collateral.
4. Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement upon the
happening of any of the following events or conditions (each an "Event of
Default"):
(a) default in the payment or performance of any obligation, covenant or
liability contained or referred to herein or in any note evidencing the
same;
(b) the making or furnishing of any warranty, representation or statement
to Secured Party by or on behalf of Debtor which proves to have been false
in any material respect when made or furnished;
(c) loss, theft, damage, destruction, sale or encumbrance to or of any of
the Collateral, or the making of any levy seizure or attachment thereof or
thereon and, if capable of being remedied, such default shall continue
unremedied for a period of 30 days;
(d) dissolution, termination of existence, insolvency, business failure,
appointment of a receiver of any part of the property of, assignment for
the benefit of creditors by, or the commencement of any proceeding under
any bankruptcy or insolvency laws of, by or against Debtor or any guarantor
or surety for Debtor.

matter referred to in clause (d) of this paragraph.
5. Upon such default and at any time thereafter, Secured Party may declare
all obligations secured hereby immediately due and payable and shall have the
remedies of a
secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Secured Party may
require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and deliver or make it available to
Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably
convenient to both parties. Expenses of taking, holding, preparing for sale, or
selling the Collateral or the like shall include Secured Party's reasonable
attorney's fees and legal expenses.
6. No waiver by Secured Party of any Event of Default shall operate as a
waiver of any other Event of Default or of the same Event of Default on a future
occasion. The taking of this Security Agreement shall not waive or impair any
other security said Secured Party may have or hereafter acquire for the payment
of the above indebtedness, nor shall the taking of any such additional security
waive or impair this Security Agreement; but said Secured Party may, resort to
any security it may have in the order it may deem proper, and notwithstanding
any collateral security, Secured Party shall retain its rights of set-off
against Debtor.
7. Secured Party's rights hereunder shall be senior to the rights of any
other person except as listed on Schedule A hereto.
----------
8. All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its
successors and assigns; and all promises and duties of Debtor shall bind his
heirs, executors or administrators or his or its successors or assigns. If
there be more than one Debtor, their liabilities hereunder shall be joint and
several.
9. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING
CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION.
10. This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.
