Collateral (but not in the proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to be

excused by breach of the other party or parties thereto or (ii) such
failure to perform would not be reasonably expected to have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Collateral,
(2) the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not
release the Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any such
contracts or agreements included in the Collateral, and
(3) neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any
obligation or liability under any such contracts or agreements included in
the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement, nor shall the Agent or
any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or
duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or

SECTION (v) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. With respect to any
Intellectual Property Collateral owned by the Grantor in the Grantor's name
as such may be changed from time to time the loss, impairment or infringement
of which might have a Material Adverse Effect:
(1) each such Copyright, Patent or Trademark is subsisting and has not
been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part and, to the
Grantor's knowledge, there is no basis or any grounds
13
for any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark to be adjudged invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part;
(2) the Grantor has made all reasonable and proper filings and
recordations to protect its interest in such Copyrights, Patents or
Trademarks, including recordations of its interests in the Patents and

the Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks used in, necessary for or of importance
to the conduct of the Grantor's business.
SECTION (vi) VALIDITY, ETC. (1) This Security Agreement is effective
to create, as collateral security for the Obligations of the Grantor, valid and
enforceable Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, except as enforceability may be affected by
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar
14
laws relating to or affecting creditor's rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
(2) Except with regard to Liens (if any) on Specified Assets, upon
the completion of the Filings (with respect to Collateral existing on the
Effective Date) and Subsequent Filings (with respect to Collateral acquired
following the Effective Date for which the Filings are not effective to
perfect the Lien on such after-acquired Collateral), and the delivery to
and continuing possession by the Agent of all instruments, chattel paper
and documents a security interest in which is perfected by possession
(which, in the case of such Subsequent Filings and such instruments,
chattel paper and documents, subject to SECTIONS 3.1.1 and 3.1.4, shall
have occurred prior to any Credit Extensions after the initial Credit
Extensions), the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement will constitute
valid Liens on and (to the extent provided herein) perfected security
interests in the Grantor's Collateral in favor of the Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, and will be prior to all other Liens of all
other Persons other than Permitted Liens, and enforceable as such as
against all other Persons other than (i) Ordinary Course Buyers, except to
the extent that the recording of an assignment or other transfer of title
to the Agent, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office may be
necessary for enforceability, and (ii) except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law) or by an implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representation set
forth above shall be deemed true and correct for all purposes so long as
the Grantor has complied with its covenants set forth under CLAUSE (A) of
SECTION 4.1.1, CLAUSE (A) of SECTION 4.1.2, CLAUSE (E) of SECTION 4.1.4,
and SECTION 4.1.7 of this Security Agreement, including the delivery of

and tear and immaterial impairments of value and damage by the elements
excepted; and make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements, and other
improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable to
such end, except to the extent that failure to do any of the foregoing would
not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of the
Collateral; and promptly furnish to the Agent a statement respecting any
material loss or damage to the Equipment; and
(3) pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including
claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Equipment and
Inventory, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in
accordance with GAAP have been set aside; and
(4) not permit the aggregate value of the Equipment and Inventory not
within its exclusive possession and control to exceed in any fiscal year 2%
of net sales of the Grantor in the preceding fiscal year, PROVIDED that the
foregoing shall not include the value of Equipment or Inventory in
possession of a third party that has received a notice from the Grantor or
the Agent identifying the Lien on such Equipment or Inventory created under
this Security Agreement.
SECTION (ii) AS TO RECEIVABLES. Subject to the terms of any
documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction:
(1) The Grantor shall (i) not change its chief executive office, the
office(s) where it keeps its records concerning the Receivables, and all
originals of all chattel paper which evidenced Receivables, located at the
address(es) set forth in ITEM D of SCHEDULE I hereto, or its name except
upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Agent and, prior to taking any
such action, delivering to the Agent all additional executed financing
statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Agent to
maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security
19
interests provided for herein; (ii) hold and preserve such records and
chattel paper; and (iii) permit representatives of the Agent at any time
during normal business hours upon reasonable advance written notice to
inspect and make abstracts from such records and chattel paper.
(2) Upon written notice by the Agent to the Grantor pursuant to this
clause, all proceeds of Collateral received by the Grantor shall be
forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) delivered in kind
to the Agent for deposit to a deposit account (the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") of
the Grantor maintained with the Agent, and the Grantor shall not commingle
any such proceeds, and shall hold separate and apart from all other
property, all such proceeds in express trust for the benefit of the Agent
until delivery thereof is made to the Agent. The Agent will not give the
notice referred to in the preceding sentence unless there shall have
occurred and be continuing a Default of the nature set forth in
Section 10.1.9 of the Credit Agreement or an Event of Default.
(3) The Agent shall have the right to apply any amount in the
Collateral Account to the payment of any Obligations which are due and
payable or payable upon demand.
SECTION (iii) AS TO COLLATERAL.
(1) Until both (i) the occurrence and continuance of a Default of the
nature set forth in Section 10.1.9 of the Credit Agreement or an Event of
Default, and (ii) such time as the Agent shall notify the Grantor of the
revocation of such power and authority the Grantor (A) may in the ordinary
course of its business (except as otherwise permitted under the Credit
Agreement), at its own expense, sell, lease or furnish under contracts of
service or otherwise transfer any of the Inventory normally held by the
Grantor for such purpose, and use and consume, in the ordinary course of
its business (except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement),
any raw materials, work in process or materials normally held by the
Grantor for such purpose, (B) subject to the terms of any documentation
20
governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction, will, at its own expense,
endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due with respect to any
of the Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such
collection as the Agent may reasonably request following the occurrence of
a Default of the nature set forth in Section 10.1.9 of the Credit Agreement
or an Event of Default or, in the absence of such request, as the Grantor
may deem advisable, and (c) subject to the terms of any documentation
governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction, may grant, in the ordinary
course of business (except as otherwise permitted under the Credit
Agreement), to any party obligated on any of the Collateral, any rebate,
refund or allowance to which such party may be lawfully entitled, and may
accept, in connection therewith, the return of goods, the sale or lease of
which shall have given rise to such Collateral. The Agent, however, may,
at any time following a Default of the nature set forth in Section 10.1.9
of the Credit Agreement or an Event of Default, whether before or after any
notice of revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of
the Obligations, notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral to
make payment to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder
and enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise and
surrender, release, or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or
extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original
period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of
the Agent following a Default of the nature set forth in Section 10.1.9 of
the Credit Agreement or an Event of Default, the Grantor will, at its own
expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make
payment to the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.
(2) The Agent is authorized to endorse, in the name of the Grantor,
any item, howsoever received by the Agent, representing any payment on or
other proceeds of any of the Collateral for application pursuant to SECTION
6.1.
21
SECTION (iv) AS TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. The Grantor
covenants and agrees to comply with the following provisions as such
provisions relate to any Intellectual Property Collateral owned by the
Grantor in the Grantor's name as such may be changed from time to time.
(1) As to any Patent Collateral that the Grantor may acquire following
the Effective Date the Grantor shall not, unless the Grantor shall either
(i) reasonably and in good faith determine (in which case, the Grantor
will, in conjunction with the notices provided under SECTION 4.1.4(E) give
notice of such determination to the Agent) that any of the Patent
Collateral is of negligible economic value to the Grantor, or (ii) have a
valid business purpose to do otherwise, do any act, or omit to do any act,
whereby any of the Patent Collateral may lapse or become abandoned or
dedicated to the public or unenforceable.
(2) The Grantor shall not, and the Grantor shall not permit any of its
licensees to, unless the Grantor shall either (i) reasonably and in good
faith determine (in which case, the Grantor will, in conjunction with the
notices provided under SECTION 4.1.4(E) give notice of such determination
to the Agent) that any of the Trademark Collateral is of negligible
economic value to the Grantor, or (ii) have a valid business purpose to do
otherwise,
(a) fail to continue to use any of the Trademarks in order to
maintain all of the Trademarks in full force free from any claim of
abandonment for non-use,
(b) fail to maintain as in the past the quality of its products
and services offered under all of the Trademark Collateral,
(c) fail to employ all of the Trademarks registered with any
Federal or state or foreign authority with an appropriate notice of
such registration,
(d) adopt or use any other Trademark which is confusingly similar
or a colorable imitation of any of
22
the Trademark Collateral without notifying the Agent,
(e) use any Trademark registered with any Federal or state or
foreign authority except for the uses for which registration or
application for registration of such Trademark has been made except in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and
(f) do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby
any of the Trademark Collateral may lapse or become invalid or
unenforceable.
(3) The Grantor shall not, unless the Grantor shall either (a)
reasonably and in good faith determine (in which case, the Grantor will, in
conjunction with the notices provided under SECTION 4.1.4(E) give notice of
such determination to the Agent) that any of the Copyright Collateral or
any of the Trade Secrets Collateral is of negligible economic value to the
Grantor, or (b) have a valid business purpose to do otherwise, do or permit
any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of the Copyright
Collateral or any of the Trade Secrets Collateral may lapse or become
invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain except upon
expiration of the end of an unrenewable term thereof.
(4) The Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly if it knows, or has
reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any
material Copyright, Patent or Trademark may become abandoned or dedicated
to the public or placed in the public domain or invalid or unenforceable,
or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution
of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any foreign counterpart thereof or any court) regarding the
Grantor's ownership of any such material Copyright, Patent or Trademark,
its right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the
same.
23
(5) In no event shall the Grantor or any of its agents, employees,
designees or licensees file an application for the registration of any
Patent, Copyright or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency
in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless within 30
days after the end of each calendar quarter the Grantor informs the Agent,
and upon request of the Agent, executes and delivers any and all
agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may reasonably
request to evidence the Agent's security interest in such Patent, Copyright
or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of the Grantor
relating thereto or represented thereby; PROVIDED, that the Grantor shall
not be required to deliver any such agreements, instruments, documents or
papers for filing or registration in any offices outside the United States
unless the economic value of such Patent, Copyright or Trademark in the
country in which such office is located is material to the business of the
Grantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and then shall only be
required to make such filings and registrations in the applicable offices
within such country.
(6) The Grantor shall take all necessary steps, including in any
proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other
country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue any
application (and to obtain the relevant registration) filed by the Grantor
with respect to, and to maintain any registration of, any Patent, Copyright
or Trademark, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits
of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and
cancellation proceedings and the payment of fees and taxes (except to the
extent that dedication, abandonment or invalidation is permitted under the
foregoing CLAUSES (A), (B) and (C)).
SECTION (v) INSURANCE. The Grantor will maintain or cause to be
maintained with responsible insurance companies insurance with respect to its
business and
24
properties (including the Equipment and Inventory) against such casualties
and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts as is required
pursuant to the Credit Agreement and will, upon the request of the Agent,
furnish a certificate of a reputable insurance broker setting forth the
nature and extent of all insurance maintained by the Grantor in accordance
with this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, the Grantor further
agrees as follows:
(1) Each policy for property insurance shall show the Agent as loss
payee.
(2) Each policy for liability insurance shall show the Agent as
additional insured.
(3) With respect to each life insurance policy, the Grantor shall
execute and deliver to the Agent a collateral assignment, notice of which
has been acknowledged in writing by the insurer.
(4) Each insurance policy shall provide that at least 30 days' prior
written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Agent by
the insured.
(5) The Grantor shall, if so requested by the Agent, deliver to the
Agent a copy of each insurance policy.
(6) All payments in respect of property insurance and life insurance
shall be deposited to the Collateral Account and if there shall be no
Collateral Account shall be paid to the Grantor.
SECTION (vi) TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. The Grantor shall not:
(1) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collateral, except Inventory in the ordinary course
of business or as permitted by the Credit Agreement or this Security
Agreement; or
(2) create or suffer to exist any Lien or other charge or encumbrance
upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to secure Indebtedness of any
Person or
25
entity, except for the security interest created by this Security
Agreement and except as permitted by the Credit Agreement or this Security
Agreement.
SECTION (vii) FURTHER ASSURANCES, ETC. The Grantor and the Agent
agree that, from time to time at the Grantor's expense, the Agent or the
Grantor, as the case may be, will, upon the written request of the other,
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take
all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, in order to preserve
the benefits of this Security Agreement or to perfect, preserve and protect
any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable
the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Grantor will
(1) following the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice to the
Grantor by the Agent, xxxx conspicuously each document included in the
Inventory, each chattel paper included in the Receivables and each Related
Contract and, at the request of the Agent, each of its records pertaining
to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, indicating that such document, chattel paper,
Related Contract or Collateral is subject to the security interest granted
hereby; and
(2) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices (including any
assignment of claim form under or pursuant to the federal assignment of
claims statute, 31 U.S.C. Section 3726, any successor or amended version
thereof or any regulation promulgated under or pursuant to any version
thereof, with respect to any Collateral the value of which (individually or
in the aggregate) exceeds $1,500,000), as may be necessary or desirable in
order to preserve the benefits of this Security Agreement or to perfect and
preserve the security interests and other rights granted or purported to be
granted to the Agent hereby; and
26
(3) furnish to the Agent, from time to time at the Agent's request,
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral
and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest
hereunder, the Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all
or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Grantor where
permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Security Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any
part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by
law.
ARTICLE 5.
THE AGENT
SECTION a. AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent the Grantor's attorneys-in-fact, 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, following
the occurrence and continuation of a Default of the nature set forth in
Section 10.1.9 of the Credit Agreement or 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 Security Agreement, including:
(1) subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted
Receivables Transaction, to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover,
compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to
become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(2) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper, in connection with CLAUSE (A) above;
27
(3) subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted
Receivables Transaction, to file any claims or take any action or institute
any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and
(4) to perform the affirmative obligations of the Grantor hereunder
(including all obligations of the Grantor pursuant to SECTION 4.1.7).
The Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of
attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest; provided, that the power of attorney granted by the Grantor shall
terminate upon the payment in full in cash, or cash collateralization, of all
Obligations, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the
termination of all Rate Protection Agreements entered into pursuant to the
Credit Agreement and the termination of all Commitments.
SECTION b. AGENT MAY PERFORM. If the Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor pursuant to SECTION 6.2.
SECTION c. AGENT HAS NO DUTY. In addition to, and not in limitation
of, SECTION 2.4, the powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to
protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for
reasonable care 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.
SECTION 5.4. REASONABLE CARE. The Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its
possession; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Agent shall be deemed to have
28
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the
Collateral, if it takes such action for that purpose as the Grantor
reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Agent to
comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a
failure to exercise reasonable care.
ARTICLE 6.
REMEDIES
SECTION a. CERTAIN REMEDIES. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and any Obligations shall be due and unpaid
(whether by acceleration or otherwise):
(1) 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 the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the
U.C.C. (whether or not the U.C.C. applies to the affected Collateral) and
also may
(a) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it
will, at its expense and upon request of the Agent, subject to the
terms of any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables
Transaction, forthwith assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Agent and make it available to the Agent at a place to
be designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to both
parties, and
(b) subject to the terms of any documentation governing any
Permitted Receivables Transaction, without notice except as specified
below, and subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at the Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit
or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may
deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees that,
29
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten
days' prior 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.
(2) All cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of 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 (after
payment of any amounts payable to the Agent pursuant to SECTION 6.2) in
whole or in part by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order (as among
interest, fees, principal and other monetary Obligations) as the Agent
shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Agent
and remaining after payment in full in cash of all the Obligations shall be
paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.
SECTION b. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.
(1) The Grantor agrees to indemnify the Agent from and against any and
all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this
Security Agreement (including enforcement of this Security Agreement),
except to the extent resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or wilful
misconduct.
(2) The Grantor will upon demand pay to the Agent the amount of any
and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent
may incur in connection with
30
(a) the administration of this Security Agreement,
(b) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
and
(c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent
or the Secured Parties hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Grantor
to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

SECTION e. SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible each provision of this
Security Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under such 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 Security Agreement.
SECTION f. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be executed by
