Agreement, Borrower shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts
due or to become due to Borrower under the Accounts. In connection with such

under each contract material to the operation of its business. Borrower will

contained in this Security Agreement, Bank may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Bank may exercise in respect of
any or all of the Collateral each of the following rights, remedies and powers
and Borrower agrees that each of the following rights, remedies and powers is
commercially reasonable:
(1) General Remedies. Bank may exercise in respect of any or all of the
Collateral all rights, remedies and powers provided for in this Security
Agreement, by law, in equity or otherwise available to it, including all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC
applies to the affected Collateral).
(2) Right to Accelerate Obligations Owed to Borrower. To the extent that
any obligation to make payment on any Collateral is not then due or a demand for
payment has not been made and Borrower has the right, in accordance with the
term of such Collateral, to require or make a demand for payment on such
Collateral, Bank has the right to require and to make a demand for payment on
such Collateral.
(3) Accounts, Contracts, and Other Collateral. Bank has the right to notify
the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts, Contracts and other
Collateral of the security interest of Bank in such Account, Contract or other
Collateral and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due to Borrower thereunder directly to Bank or to an
account designated by Bank and, upon such notification, to enforce collection of
any such Accounts, Contracts and other Collateral, and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as Borrower might have done. After receipt by Borrower of such notice
from Bank, (a) all amounts and proceeds (including wire transfers, checks and
other instruments) received by Borrower in respect of any Accounts, Contracts,
or other Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Bank under
this Security Agreement, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower and
shall be forthwith deposited to such account or paid over or delivered to Bank
in the same
8
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be held as
Collateral, or be applied as provided by this Section, as determined by Bank and
(b) Borrower shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any
such Account, Contract, or other Collateral or release wholly or partly any
account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any discount thereon, other than any
discount allowed for prompt payment.
(6) Assembly of Collateral. Bank may require Borrower to, and Borrower
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of Bank
forthwith, assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by Bank and
make it available to Bank at a place to be designated by Bank that is reasonably
convenient to both Bank and Borrower.

without judicial process, upon any premises of Borrower and take possession of
all or any part of the Collateral, and remove such Collateral to a location
specified by Bank.

with which any Deposit Accounts are maintained to remit and transfer all monies,
securities and other property on deposit in such Deposit Accounts or deposited
or received for deposit thereafter to Bank, for deposit in an account as may be

payable as provided herein. Bank may apply the balance of any Deposit Account
maintained with Bank to pay the Secured Obligations.
(9) Use of Premises. Bank shall have the right to enter and remain upon
each and every location of Borrower without cost or charge to Bank, and use the
same together with materials, supplies, books and records of Borrower for the
purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale
and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or
otherwise.
(10) Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral. Bank may, without notice,
except as specified below, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of and
grant options to purchase, lease, license or otherwise acquire, any or all of
the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale or other
disposition, for cash, on credit, for future delivery or otherwise and upon such
other terms, including price, as Bank may deem commercially reasonable in the
exercise of its reasonable business judgment.
(11) Notice of Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral. Borrower agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10)
days notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public or private sale is
to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Bank shall not be obligated
to make any sale of any or all of the Collateral after any notice of sale has
been given. Bank may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and to the place to which it was so
adjourned.
9
(12) Commercially Reasonable Sale. Borrower agrees that it is not
commercially unreasonable for Bank (a) to restrict the prospective bidders on or
purchasers of any of the investment property 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 investment property, (b) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or
otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished
goods or other finished products for disposition, (c) to fail to obtain third
party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if
not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party
consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or
disposed of, (d) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors
or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or
encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (e) to exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (f) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (g) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any
portion of the Collateral, (h) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to
assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a
specialized nature, (i) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral
or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets, (j) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (k) to disclaim disposition warranties, including disclaimers of
warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like, (l) to purchase
insurance or credit enhancements to insure Bank against risk of loss, collection
or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Bank a guaranteed return from the
collection or disposition of Collateral, or (m) to the extent deemed appropriate
by Bank, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers,
consultants and other professionals to assist Bank in the collection or
disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower agrees that the purpose of this
Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by
Bank would fulfill the duties of Bank under the UCC of the State or any other
relevant jurisdiction in the exercise by Bank of remedies against the Collateral
and that other actions or omissions by Bank shall not be deemed to fail to
fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section.
Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall
be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or to impose any duties on Bank
that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section.
(13) Proceeds. If any of the Collateral is sold by Bank upon credit or for
future delivery, Bank shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to
purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Bank may
resell such Collateral. In no event shall Borrower be credited with any part of
the proceeds of sale of any Collateral until and to the extent cash payment in
respect thereof has actually been received by Bank. To the extent any of the
Secured Obligations are contingent, cash proceeds received by Bank in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all
10
or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Bank, be held by Bank as
collateral for such contingent Secured Obligations. Any cash held by Bank as
Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Bank in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
may, in the discretion of Bank, be applied, first, to pay all costs and expenses
incurred by Bank in connection with or incident to the custody, preservation,
use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
any and all of the Collateral, second, to pay all reasonable attorney's fees and
legal expenses incurred by Bank in connection with or incident to the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any and all of the Collateral, third, to pay all matured and
unpaid Secured Obligations, in whole or in part by Bank against, all or any part
of the Secured Obligations in such order as Bank shall elect, fourth, if and to
the extent any of the Secured Obligations are unmatured or contingent, to
provide cash collateral for all such Secured Obligations, and fifth, in
accordance with applicable law. If the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Obligations, Borrower agrees to pay
upon demand any deficiency to Bank.
Bank shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any of its rights or remedies under this Security Agreement. A waiver by
Bank of any right or remedy under this Security Agreement on any one occasion,
shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy which
Bank would have had on any future occasion nor shall Bank be liable for
exercising or failing to exercise any such right or remedy.
(14) Grant of License. Borrower hereby grants to Bank an irrevocable,
non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to Borrower) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual
property now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by Borrower,
wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such term or terms,
on such conditions and in such manner as Bank shall determine, whether general,
special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and
including in such license 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 sublicense by Bank
shall be exercised at the option of Bank.
Section 12. Appointment of Bank Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Bank attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Bank or otherwise (1) to take any
and all action and exercise all rights and remedies granted to Bank under this
Security Agreement and (2) execute any instrument which Bank may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Security Agreement.
Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of Bank as its attorney
in-fact pursuant to this Section, and Bank, as its attorney in-fact, will not be
liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or
mistake of fact or law, other than those which result from Bank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. This power,
11
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as this Security
Agreement remains in effect.
Section 13. Borrower Remains Liable. In all events, including the exercise
by Bank of any of the rights under this Security Agreement, Borrower remains
liable to perform all of its duties and obligations under the contracts and
agreements included in the Collateral to which it is a party to the same extent
as if this Security Agreement had not been executed. Bank shall not have any
obligation or liability under any such contracts and agreements by reason of
this Security Agreement, nor shall Bank be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of Borrower under, or to take any action to collect or
enforce any claim or rights under, any such contract or agreement.
The powers conferred on Bank under this Security Agreement 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 safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it under this
Security Agreement, Bank shall not have any duty as to any such Collateral or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any such Collateral.
Section 14. Indemnity and Expenses. Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank and
each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates from and
against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting
from this Security Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Security
Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Security
Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the person to be indemnified. Borrower will
upon demand pay to Bank the amount of any and all expenses, including the
reasonable fees and out of pocket disbursements of its counsel and of any
experts and agents, which Bank may incur in connection with (1) any amendment to
this Security Agreement, (2) the administration of this Security Agreement, (3)
filing or recording fees incurred with respect to or in connection with this
Security Agreement, (4) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (5)
the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Bank under this Security
Agreement, or (6) the failure by Borrower to perform or observe any of the
provisions of this Security Agreement.
Section 15. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Security Agreement nor consent to any departure by Borrower from this Security
Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by Bank and Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.

provided for under this Security Agreement shall be given in accordance with the
terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Section 17. Continuing Security Interest, Transfer of Secured Obligations.
Notwithstanding the fact that there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding
from time to time, this Security Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in all of the Collateral. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon
Borrower, its successors and assigns, and inure to Bank and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Borrower may not transfer or assign its obligations
under this Security Agreement. Bank may assign or otherwise transfer all or a
portion of its rights or obligations with respect to the Secured Obligations to
any other party, and such other party shall then become vested with all the
benefits in respect of such transferred Secured Obligations and the security
interest granted to Bank pursuant to this Security Agreement or otherwise.
Borrower agrees that Bank can provide information regarding Borrower to any
prospective or actual successor, transferee or assign.
Section 18. Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits
to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the County of
Nassau in the State of New York over any action or proceeding arising out of or
related to this Security Agreement and agrees with Bank that personal
jurisdiction over Borrower rests with such courts for purposes of any action on
or related to this Security Agreement. Borrower hereby waives personal service
by manual delivery and agrees that service of process may be made by mail
(certified mail, return receipt requested) directed to Borrower at the address
of Borrower for notices under this Security Agreement or at such other address
as may be designated in writing by Borrower to Bank, and that upon mailing of
such process such service will be effective as if Borrower was personally
served. Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any manner provided by law. Borrower further waives any objection
to venue in any such action or proceeding on the basis of inconvenient forum.
Borrower agrees that any action on or proceeding brought against Bank shall only
be brought in such courts.
Section 19. Set-off. Borrower agrees that, in addition to, and without
limiting, any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim Bank may otherwise
have, Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of
Borrower, at any of the offices of Bank, in Dollars or any other currency,
against any amount payable by Borrower to Bank under this Security Agreement
which is not paid when demanded (regardless of whether such balances are then
due to Borrower), in which case Bank shall promptly notify Borrower; provided
that Bank's failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
offset.
Section 20. Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of New York without regard to its conflict
of law principles, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the
security interest under this Security Agreement, or remedies under this Security
Agreement, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a
jurisdiction other than New York.
Section 21. Miscellaneous. This Security Agreement is in addition to and
not in limitation of any other rights and remedies Bank may have by virtue of
any other
13
instrument or agreement heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter
executed by Borrower or by law or otherwise. If any provision of this Security
Agreement is contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be deemed
ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Security
Agreement. The Perfection Certificate is a part of this Security Agreement as if
fully set forth in this Security Agreement. The headings in this Security
Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the
interpretation or construction of this Security Agreement.
Section 22. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND EVERY
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ON OR RELATED TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.
