subject only to the security interests and other encumbrances permitted pursuant
to the Financing Agreement.

insurance policies and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of
such assignment.

5(e) shall upon receipt by the Agent, be paid to the Grantor as reimbursement
for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(ii) The Grantor will duly perform and observe all of its
obligations under each Related Contract and, except as otherwise provided in
this subsection (f), continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or
to become due under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, the
Grantor may (and, at the Agent's direction, will) take such action as the
Grantor or the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection or
performance of the Receivables; provided, however, the Agent shall have the
right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Receivables of the
assignment of such Receivables to the Agent and to direct such Account Debtors
or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Grantor
thereunder directly to the Agent or its designated agent and, upon such
notification and at the expense of the Grantor and to the extent permitted by
law, to enforce collection of any such Receivables and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Grantor might have done. After receipt by the Grantor of a notice
from the Agent that the Agent has notified or intends to notify the Account
Debtors or obligors under any Receivables as referred to in the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and proceeds (including
instruments) received by the Grantor in respect of the Receivables shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Agent hereunder, shall be segregated
from other funds of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in
the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be held as cash
collateral and either (1) credited to the Loan Account or (2) applied as
specified in Section 7(b) hereof, and (B) the Grantor will not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or release wholly or partly

breach or default under any License referred to in SCHEDULE II, III or IV hereto

obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Agent written notice of the nature and
duration thereof, specifying what action, if any, it has taken and proposes to
take with respect thereto, and (B) upon written instructions from the Agent and
at the Grantor's expense, take such action as the Agent may deem reasonably
necessary or advisable in respect thereof.
(iv) The Grantor will, at its expense, promptly deliver to
the Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it by which
any other party to any Related Contract referred to in SCHEDULE I hereto or
otherwise specified by the Agent from time to time or any License referred to in

any of its obligations thereunder which is reasonably likely to cause a Material
Adverse Change, together with a copy of any reply by the Grantor thereto.

all Licenses in full force and effect, except where such failure to maintain
would not be reasonably likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect. The Grantor
will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, cancel, terminate,
amend or otherwise modify in any respect, or waive any provision of, any Related
Contract referred to in SCHEDULE I hereto or any License referred to in SCHEDULE
II, III or IV hereto to the extent such action is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Change.

to any Governmental Authority, the Lender is hereby authorized (but in no event
obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing
authority for the account of the Grantor and to charge the Grantor therefor. The
Grantor shall notify the Lender if any Receivable includes any taxes due to any
Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Lender shall have
the right to retain any proceeds of such Receivable that the Lender receives and
shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due from the Grantor by reason of
the sale and delivery creating such Receivable.

(i) The Grantor will not sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise), lease, exchange or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the
Collateral except to the extent permitted under Section 6.02(d)(ii) of the
Financing Agreement.
(ii) The Grantor will not create or suffer to exist any Lien,
security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any
Collateral, except for (A) the Liens and security interest created by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) the Liens, security interests and
other encumbrances permitted by the Financing Agreement.

(h) Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights.
(i) If applicable, the Grantor has duly executed and
delivered the Assignment for Security (Trademarks) in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A, the Assignment for Security (Patents) in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B and the Assignment for Security (Copyrights) in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C. The Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, and
will cause each licensee thereof to, take all action reasonably necessary to
maintain all of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights in full force and effect,
including, without limitation, using the proper statutory notices and markings
and using the Trademarks on each applicable trademark class of goods in order to
so maintain the Trademarks in full force free from any claim of abandonment for
non-use, and the Grantor will not (and will not permit any licensee thereof to)
do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Trademark, Copyright or
Patent may become invalidated; provided, however, that so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall have no obligation to
use or to maintain any Trademark, Patent or Copyright (A) that relates solely to
any product or work that has been, or is in the process of being, discontinued,
abandoned or terminated, (B) that is being replaced with a trademark, patent or
copyright substantially similar to the Trademark, Patent or Copyright, as the
case may be, that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as such
replacement Trademark, Patent or Copyright, as the case may be is subject to the
security interest purported to be created by this Agreement, (C) that is
substantially the same as another Trademark, Patent or Copyright, as the case
may be, that is in full force, so long as such other Trademark, Patent or
Copyright, as the case may be, is subject to the Lien and security interest
created by this Agreement, or (D) that is not necessary for the operation of
Grantor's business and is discontinued or disposed of in the ordinary course of
business. The Grantor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any
proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office to maintain each registration of the Trademarks, the
Patents and the Copyrights (other than those Trademarks, Patent or Copyrights
described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence), including,
without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits of use, affidavits of
incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and
payment of maintenance fees, filing fees and taxes. If any Trademark, Patent or
Copyright is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any
material respect by a third party, the Grantor shall (x) upon learning of such
infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly notify the
Agent and (y) to the extent the Grantor shall deem appropriate under the
circumstances, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or
other violation, seek injunctive relief where appropriate and recover any and
all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other
violation, or take such other actions as the Grantor shall deem appropriate
under the circumstances to protect such Trademark, Patent or Copyright. The
Grantor shall furnish to the Agent from time to time (but, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, no more frequently than annually)
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Patents, the
Trademarks and the Copyrights and such other reports in connection with the
Patents, the Trademarks and the Copyrights as the Agent may reasonably request,
all in reasonable detail and promptly upon request of the Agent, following
receipt by the Agent of any such statements, schedules or reports, the Grantor
shall modify this Agreement by amending SCHEDULES II, III or IV hereto, as the
case may be, to include any Patent, Trademark or Copyright which becomes part of
the Collateral under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
the Grantor may not abandon or otherwise permit
-11-
12
a Trademark, Patent or Copyright to become invalid without the prior written
consent of the Agent, and if any Trademark, Patent or Copyright is infringed,
misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a
third party, the Grantor will take such action as the Agent shall deem
appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Trademark, Patent or
Copyright.
(ii) In no event shall the Grantor, either itself or
through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the
registration of any Trademark or Copyright or the issuance of any Patent with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright
Office, as applicable, unless it gives the Agent written notice thereof, but in
no event later than 5 Business Days after the filing of any such application.
Upon request of the Agent, the Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all
assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may
reasonably request to evidence the Agent's security interest hereunder in such
Trademark, Patent or Copyright and the general intangibles of the Grantor
relating thereto or represented thereby, and the Grantor hereby constitutes the
Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file, during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such
attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed, and such power (being coupled with
an interest) shall be irrevocable until the termination of the Commitments, the
repayment of all of the Obligations in full and the termination of each of the
Loan Documents.
(j) Inspection and Reporting. The Grantor shall permit the Agent
or any Lender, or any agents or representatives thereof or such professionals or
other Persons as the Agent may designate (i) to examine and inspect the books
and records of the Grantor and take copies and extracts therefrom, (ii) to
verify materials, leases, notes, receivables, inventory and other assets of the
Grantor from time to time, and (iii) to conduct physical counts, appraisals
and/or valuations at the locations of the Grantor, in each case as provided and
subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in the Financing
Agreement.
SECTION 6. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
(a) The Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file, without the
signature of the Grantor where permitted by law, one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral.
(b) The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent the
Grantor's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead
of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in
the Agent's discretion upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the
Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement (subject to the rights of the Grantor under Section 5(f) hereof),
including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be
paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof, and to receive, indorse and
collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in
connection therewith, (ii) to ask, 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 Collateral, (iii) to receive, indorse, and collect any
drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with
clause (i) or (ii) above, and (iv) to file any claims or take any
-12-
13
action or institute any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the
rights of the Agent with respect to any Collateral. This power is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are paid in full
after the Commitments have been terminated.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and
remedies hereunder at such time as the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and for no other purpose, the Grantor hereby
grants to the Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the
Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Patents, Trademarks or
Copyrights now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, wherever the same may
be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which
any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Financing Agreement
that limits the right of the Grantor to dispose of its property and Section 5(h)
hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license or sublicense any of the
Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights in the ordinary course of the business of the
Grantor. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing the Agent shall promptly from time to time, upon the
request of the Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or
other documents, in the form so requested, which the Grantor shall have
certified are appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it to take any action
permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to
this clause (c) as to any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights and the release of
the Lien created hereby). Further, upon the payment in full of all of the
Obligations and cancellation or termination of the Commitments, the Agent
(subject to Section 10(e) hereof) shall transfer to the Grantor all of the
Agent's right, title and interest in and to the Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty
whatsoever. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Agent shall not
terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore
granted by the Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause
(c). The Grantor hereby releases the Agent from any claims, causes of action and
demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by the Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein
other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a
court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or
obligation, in the name of the Grantor or the Agent, and the expenses of the
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor pursuant
to Section 8 hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.
(e) The powers conferred on the Agent 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 safe custody 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.
-13-
14
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) the
Grantor shall remain liable under the Related Contracts and Licenses and
otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein
to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this
Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Agent of any of its
rights hereunder shall not release the Grantor from any its obligations under
the Related Contracts and Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral,
and (iii) the Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this
Agreement under the Related Contracts and Licenses or with respect to any of the
other Collateral, nor shall the Agent be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect
or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Default. 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 it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the
Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may
(i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including without limitation,
transfer into the Agent's name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to
the extent the Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for
the benefit of the Agent, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers
and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as
though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require the Grantor to, and the
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 or places to be designated by the
Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Lender may enter
into and occupy any premises owned or leased by the Grantor where the Collateral
of any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate the Lender's rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to the Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) 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, and at such price or
prices and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least 10 days' notice to the 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. The Grantor hereby waives any
claims against the Agent and the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the
price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than
the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the
aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Agent accepts the first offer
received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree and waives
all rights which the Grantor may have to require that all or any part of the
Collateral be marshalled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. In addition
to the foregoing, (i) upon written notice from the Agent, the Grantor shall
cease any use of the Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights or any trademark, patent
or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the
Agent may,
-14-
15
at any time and from time to time, upon 10 days' prior notice to the Grantor,
license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or
non-exclusive basis, any of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights, throughout
the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as
the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (iii) the Agent may, at
any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 6 hereof (such authority
being effective upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default),
execute and deliver on behalf of the Grantor, one or more instruments of
assignment of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights (or any application or
registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in
any country.
(b) Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all cash
proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of or collection from, or
other realization upon, all or any part 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 in whole or in part by the Agent against, all or any part of
the Obligations as provided in Section 3.04(b) of the Financing Agreement.
(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection
or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agent and the
Lenders are legally entitled, the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency,
together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable
Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as
shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the
reasonable fees, costs, expenses of any attorneys employed by the Agent to
collect such deficiency.
SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) The Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations,
penalties, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal
fees and disbursements of Agent's counsel) to the extent that they arise out of
or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation,
enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting
from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The Grantor will upon demand pay to the Agent the amount of
any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements
of the Agent's counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent may incur
in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or
termination of this Agreement, subject to Section 10.05 of the Financing
Agreement, or (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder, or (iv) the
failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified
mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if
to the Grantor or the Agent, to the parties and at the
-15-
16
addresses specified in the Financing Agreement; or as to either such Person at
such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to
such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All
such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or 3 Business Days after
mailing, whichever first occurs, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and
confirmation is received, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the
next Business Day or (iii) if delivered, upon delivery, provided same is on a
Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day.
SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Grantor and the Agent, and
no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by
the Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The rights and remedies of the Agent provided herein and in the
other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive
of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agent under any
Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any
attempt by the Agent to exercise any of its rights under any other Loan Document
against such party or against any other Person.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d) 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 Obligations after the Commitments have been terminated, and (ii)
be binding on the Grantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure,
together with all rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of
the Agent and the Lenders their respective permitted successors, transferees and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence and subject to the terms of the Financing Agreement, the
Agent and Lenders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights under this
Agreement and any other Loan Document, to any other Person and such other Person
shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof
granted to the Agent and the Lenders herein or otherwise. None of the rights or
obligations of the Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred
without the prior written consent of the Agent, and any such assignment or
transfer shall be null and void.
(e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations after the
Commitments have been terminated, (i) this Agreement and the security interests
created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
the Grantor, and (ii) the Agent will, upon the
-16-
17
Grantor's request and at the Grantor's expense promptly, (A) return to the
Grantor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed
of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (B) execute and deliver to the
Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.
(f) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except as
required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the
validity and perfection or the perfection and effect of perfection or
non-perfection of the security interest created hereby or remedies hereunder, in
respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction
other than the State of New York.

withdraw from the Account any asset, cash or other property now or
hereafter credited to the Account without the prior written consent of
the Secured Party, provided that the Debtor shall be entitled to request
that the Secured Party withdraw funds from the Account in accordance with
Section 2.03 of the Financing Agreement; and
(d) The Debtor and the Secured Party have notified the
Depository Bank that the Debtor has, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement,
pledged and assigned to the Secured Party and granted to the Secured
Party for the benefit of the Lenders a continuing security interest in
the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, the Account. The
Depository Bank hereby consents to the creation of such security
interest.
Section 2. "Financial Assets" Election. The Depository Bank hereby
agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset,
security, instrument or cash) credited to the Account shall be treated as a
"financial asset" within the meaning of Section 8-l02(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 3. Dominion and Control; Entitlement Orders. Each of the
Debtor and the Depository Bank hereby agree that the Account shall be under the
exclusive dominion and control of the Secured Party. If at any time the
Depository Bank shall receive any order from the Secured Party directing
transfer or redemption of any asset relating to the Account, the Depository Bank
shall comply with such entitlement order, without further consent by the Debtor
or any other person.
40
Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. If the
Depository Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or
otherwise a security interest in the Account or any security entitlement
credited thereto, the Depository Bank hereby agrees that such security interest
shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party. The
financial assets and other items deposited in the Account will not be subject to
deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person
other than the Secured Party.
Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Agreement and the Account
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in any account opening agreements pursuant
to which the Debtor opened the Account with the Depository Bank (the "Account
Opening Agreement"). Regardless of any provision in any other agreement
(including, without limitation, the Account Opening Agreement), for purposes of
the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Depository Bank's jurisdiction and
the Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York. For the avoidance of doubt, the
parties hereto hereby amend the Account Opening Agreement to provide that it
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York rather than the laws of
the Cayman Islands.
Section 6. Conflict with other Agreements. In the event of any
conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement
now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail.
Section 7. Amendments. No amendment or modification of this
Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto
unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto.
Section 8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall (i) be
binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and
(ii) inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Secured Party
hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Party and the Lenders and their
respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality
of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Secured Party may,
upon receipt of the written consent of the applicable Lender that is affiliated
with the Depository Bank which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, assign or otherwise transfer the Pledge Agreement, this Agreement and
any other Loan Document, to any other Person, without notice to or the consent
of the Debtor or the Depository Bank, and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to such entity
herein or otherwise. All references in this Agreement to Secured Party shall
mean the Secured Party and any assignee of Secured Party of this Agreement. None
of the rights or obligations of the Debtor or the Depository Bank hereunder may
be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the
Secured Party.

Section 9. Notices. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier communication) and shall
be mailed, telecopied or delivered to the intended party at, in the case of the
Depository Bank, its address as set forth on the signature page hereto or, in
the case of the Debtor or the Secured Party, to its address set forth in the
Financing Agreement; or, as to such Persons, at such other address as shall be
designated by such Person in a written notice to the other parties complying as
to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All such notices and other
communications shall be effective (i) if sent by certified mail, return receipt
requested, when received or 3 Business Days after mailing, whichever first
occurs, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation is received,
provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day or
(iii) if delivered, upon delivery, provided same is on a Business Day and, if
not, on the next Business Day.
Section 10. Termination. The rights and powers granted herein to
the Secured Party have been granted in order to perfect the security interests
granted to the Secured Party (for the benefit of the Lenders) in the Account,
are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the
bankruptcy of the Debtor nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the
Depository Bank hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interests
of the Secured Party in the Account have been terminated pursuant to the terms
of the Pledge Agreement and the Secured Party has notified the Depository Bank
of such termination in writing.

Section 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing and

Re: Gilat-to-Home Inc.
Gentlemen:
In consideration for your agreement to enter into a Financing Agreement dated as
of June __, 2000 (the "Financing Agreement"), by and among Gilat-to-Home Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), certain financial institutions party
thereto from time to time (the "Lenders") and Bank Leumi USA, as agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent") (capitalized terms used herein and not
defined herein shall have the same meaning herein as set forth in the Financing
Agreement), Gilat Satellite Networks, Ltd. ("Gilat") and Spacenet Inc.
("Spacenet") hereby represent and warrant jointly and severally in favor of the
Lenders and the Agent, that the equipment and technology manufactured by either
Gilat or Spacenet and supplied to the Borrower pursuant to any agreement between
Borrower, on the one hand, and Gilat or Spacenet, on the other hand, in effect
as of the date of the Financing Agreement, together with any amendments or other
modifications thereto that are more favorable to the Borrower unless the
adoption of such amendments or modifications has been approved by a vote of all
or a majority of the Borrower's directors not appointed by either Gilat or
Spacenet (the "Agreements"), shall perform in conformity with the specifications
set forth in such Agreements.
Gilat and Spacenet hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Agent and
Lenders for any and all losses suffered by the Agent and the Lenders as a result
of the breach of any of the Agreements if such losses arise solely from the
failure of the equipment or technology manufactured and supplied to the Borrower
by either Gilat or Spacenet pursuant to any Agreement to perform in conformity
with the specifications set forth in such Agreement, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in an action brought by the Borrower (or any other person
entitled to assert the rights of the Borrower in a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding of the Borrower) against Gilat and/or Spacenet. Such right of
indemnification may

be asserted directly by the Agent or the Lenders against Gilat and/or Spacenet
if any court referred to in the preceding sentence makes a determination, or
Gilat and/or Spacent admits in writing, that the equipment or technology
manufactured and supplied to the Borrower by either Gilat or Spacenet pursuant
to any Agreement failed to perform in conformity with the specifications set
forth in such Agreement. Any such court determination or written admission shall
be binding upon Gilat and Spacenet in any proceeding brought by the Agent or the
Lenders against Gilat and/or Spacenet to assert the right of indemnification
granted to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder. However, no independent right is
hereby granted by Spacenet, Gilat or the Borrower to the Agent or Lenders to
enforce the terms of any of the Agreements against Gilat or Spacenet.
In the event the Board of Directors becomes comprised of a majority of
individuals who are appointed to the Board by either Spacenet or Gilat, Borrower
agrees to institute and diligently and in good faith prosecute an action against
Gilat or Spacenet for breach of any of the Agreements arising solely from the
failure of the equipment or technology manufactured and supplied to the Borrower
by either Gilat or Spacenet in the event that the directors not appointed by
Gilat and Spacenet decide to institute such an action against Gilat or Spacenet.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this letter shall not
in any way affect the rights of the Agent and the Lenders against the Borrower
under the Loan Documents or the rights of the Agent and the Lenders against the
Borrower or any other person under applicable law. This letter shall (a)
terminate upon the repayment in full of all Obligations under the Financing
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) be governed by the laws of the
State of New York.
