Schedules D, E and F hereto are true and correct with respect to the
--------------------
matters set forth therein as of the date hereof.

duly and validly executed and delivered by Pledgor, constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable against Pledgor in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule E hereto and except for filings
----------
with the Patent and Trademark Office, under the UCC and under applicable
foreign law, no authorization, consent, approval, license, qualification or
formal exemption from, nor any filing, declaration or registration with,
any court (other than in connection with the exercise of judicial
remedies), governmental agency or regulatory authority, or with any

the pledge by Pledgor of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement,
or the execution, delivery or performance by Pledgor of this Agreement, (2)

Pledged Collateral by Pledgor in the manner and for the purpose
contemplated by this Agreement or (3) the exercise of the rights and
remedies of the Lender created hereby.

all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or
material to Pledgor's business as currently conducted and as contemplated

knowledge, the use of such Pledged Collateral and all rights with respect
to the foregoing by Pledgor does not infringe on the rights of any Person
and, except as set forth on Schedule F attached hereto, no material claim
----------
has been made and remains outstanding that Pledgor's use of the Pledged
Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third person.
(f) Upon filings and the acceptance thereof in the appropriate offices

6(b)(2) above if such would have constituted Pledged Collateral at the time
of execution of this Agreement by execution of an instrument in form
acceptable to the Lender.
(c) Pledgor authorizes the Lender to modify this Agreement by amending
Schedules A, B and/or C annexed hereto to include any future Pledged

become obsolete to Pledgor's business, as reasonably determined by Pledgor
consistent with prudent and commercially reasonable business practices.
Any and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such actions
shall be borne by Pledgor. Except in accordance with prudent and

right to cause any or all of the Pledged Collateral to be transferred of
record into the name of the Lender or its nominee and (B) the right to

necessary or appropriate requirements for any required governmental
approvals or consents.
(b) Except as provided in this Section 8 and other express notice

fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in
connection with the Lender's taking possession or the Lender's disposition
of any of the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, any and
all prior notice and
9

to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to
the enforcement of the Secured Parties' rights hereunder; and (3) all
rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium

through or under Pledgor.

be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds.

remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.
(b) In the event the Lender shall have instituted any proceeding to
enforce any right, power or remedy under this instrument by foreclosure,
sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the
Lender, then and in every such case, Pledgor and the Lender shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be restored to their respective former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and
all rights, remedies and powers of the Lender shall continue as if no such
proceeding had been instituted.
Section 12. The Lender May Perform, the Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If Pledgor shall fail to do any act or thing that it has covenanted to do
hereunder or any warranty on the part of Pledgor contained herein shall be
breached, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it
to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose.
Any and all amounts so expended by the Lender shall be paid by Pledgor promptly
upon demand therefor, with interest at the highest rate then in effect under the
Note during the period from and including the date on which such funds were so
expended to the date of repayment. Pledgor's obligations under this Section 12
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Pledgor's
other obligations hereunder. Pledgor hereby appoints the Lender its attorney-
in-fact with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor
and in the name of Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Lender's
reasonable
11
discretion to take any action and to execute any instruments consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which the Lender may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The
foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and
such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Pledgor
hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof.
Section 13. Indemnity.
---------
(a) Indemnity. Pledgor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold the
---------
Lender and its successors, assigns, employees, agents and servants
(collectively, "Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, suits, judgments and any and all costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and the allocated costs of
internal counsel) of whatsoever kind and nature imposed on, asserted
against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any other
way connected with the administration of the transactions contemplated
hereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof, or the preservation
of any rights hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of the
manufacture, processing, ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control,
acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale,
return or other disposition, or use of the Pledged Collateral (including,
without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable,
any claim for patent, trademark, trade secret or copyright infringement),
the violation of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body
or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims arising or imposed
under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to
or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee)), or property damage,
or contract claim; provided that Pledgor shall have no obligation to an
Indemnitee hereunder to the extent it is finally judicially determined that
such indemnified liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. Upon written notice by any
Indemnitee of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage,
injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, judgment or suit, Pledgor shall
assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. If any action, suit or
proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any
Indemnitee, Pledgor shall, if requested by such Indemnitee, resist and
defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and
defended by counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. Each
Indemnitee shall, unless any other Indemnitee has made the request
described in the preceding sentence and such request has been complied
with, have the right to employ its own counsel (or internal counsel) to
investigate and control the defense of any matter covered by the indemnity
set forth in this Section 13 and the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be paid by Pledgor; provided that, only to the extent that no
conflict exists between or among the
12
Indemnitees as reasonably determined by the Indemnitees, Pledgor shall not
be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all
Indemnitees as a group with respect to any such matter, action, suit or
