on its MIS and otherwise proper books of record and account in which entries in
conformity with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation
to its business and activities, including, without limitation, transactions and
other dealings with respect to the Collateral. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to

(d) The Secured Party shall have the right, upon notice to the
applicable Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or
obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Secured
Party and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder
10
directly to the Secured Party and, upon such notification and at the expense of
such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts, and to adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of the
notice from the Secured Party referred to in the preceding sentence, (i) all
amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such Grantor in respect
of such Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Secured Party in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement) to be held as Cash Collateral and shall be applied as
provided by Section 12(c) above, and (ii) no Grantor shall adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, release wholly or partly any
account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. In
any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Secured Party under any account
comprising part of the Collateral, each Grantor will save, indemnify and keep
the Secured Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damages
suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction
of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by
any Grantor of any obligation or arising out of any other agreement,
Indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such obligor or
its successors from any Grantor, and all such obligations of the Grantors shall
be and shall remain enforceable against and only against the Grantors and shall
not be enforceable against the Secured Party.
SECTION 13. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
SECTION 14. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder shall be given in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement to
the addresses provided by the parties to one another from time to time, except
that any notice provided by a Grantor to the Secured Party hereunder shall be
effective only upon receipt thereof by the Secured Party.
SECTION 15. Continuing Security Interest; Termination; Payments Set
Aside. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Obligations to the extent secured hereby and the
Grantors' obligations with respect to the LJH Note and the LJH Guaranty are
terminated, in writing, by the Secured Party, (ii) be binding upon the Grantors
and the Secured Party, and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii)
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Grantors, the Secured Party,
and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon its indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the obligations secured hereby, the security interest
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
such Grantor. To the extent that any Grantor makes a payment or payments to the
Secured Party or the Secured Party enforces its security interests or exercises
its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state
or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied,
and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be
11
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.
SECTION 16. Intercreditor Agreement; Subordination. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Secured Party acknowledges and
agrees that all of its rights and remedies in and to the Collateral shall be
subject in all respects to that certain Intercreditor Agreement of even date
herewith among the Secured Party, the Agent and Hilco Capital LP, (the
"CIT/Hilco Intercreditor Agreement"), and the Secured Party shall not take any
actions against the Collateral or any part thereof in contravention of the terms
of the CIT/Hilco Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 17. No Novation. This Agreement is not intended as, and shall
not be deemed, a novation of the Predecessor Security Agreement, and the liens
granted to the Secured Party under the Predecessor Security Agreement and this
Agreement shall be continuing liens having the same priority as that occasioned
by the Predecessor Security Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Party,
subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 18. Survival of Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor
covenants, warrants, and represents to the Secured Party that all
representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Agreement are
true at the time of the Grantors' execution of this Agreement, shall survive the
execution, delivery and acceptance hereof by the parties hereto and shall
continue in effect until all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash
or otherwise terminated or cancelled.
SECTION 19. Governing Law; Terms; Severability.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 20. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Secured
Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 21. Marshalling; Recourse to Security. The Secured Party shall
not be under any obligation to xxxxxxxx any assets in favor of any Grantor or
any other party or against
12
or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Recourse to security shall not
be required at any time.
SECTION 22. Construction.
(a) The works "hereof", "herein" and "hereunder" and words of like
import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and
not to any particular provision of this Agreement and section references are to
this Agreement unless otherwise specified.
(b) All terms defined in this Agreement in the singular shall have
comparable meanings when used in the plural, and vice versa, unless otherwise

represents the final agreement of the Grantors and the Secured Party with

Intercreditor Agreement, and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or
contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between any Grantor
and the Secured Party.

Agreement or be given any substantive effect.
