item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear
of all Liens except the Security Interest. The Grantor will defend the
Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured
Party) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein. As of the date of
execution of this Security Agreement, no effective financing statement or other
similar document used to perfect and preserve a security interest under the laws

lists as to the locations of the Equipment and Inventory. The Grantor will not
permit any Inventory, Equipment, Chattel Paper or Documents or any records
pertaining to Accounts and General Intangibles to be located in any state or
area in which, in the event of such location, a financing statement covering
such Collateral would be required to be, but has not in fact been, filed in
order to perfect the Security Interest. The Grantor will not change its name or
the location of its chief place of business and chief executive office unless
the Secured Party has been given at least 30 days prior written notice thereof

Statements and other instruments required or appropriate to continue the
perfection of the Security Interest.
Section 7. Rights to Payment. As of the date of execution of this
-------------------
Security Agreement, the Accounts aged 60 days or less have a value in excess of
US$1,000,000. Each Account, Chattel Paper, Document, General Intangible and

future Collateral, will be when arising or issued) the valid, genuine and
legally enforceable obligation of the Account Debtor or other obligor named
therein or in the Grantor's records pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay
or perform such obligation. Without the Secured Party's prior written consent,
the Grantor will not agree to any modifications, amendments, subordinations,
cancellations or terminations of the obligations of any such Account Debtors or
other obligors except in the ordinary course of business and in amounts not
exceeding $1,000 per Account Debtor or other obligor in any calendar year. The
Grantor will perform and comply in all material respects with all its
obligations under any items included in the Collateral and exercise promptly and
diligently its rights thereunder.

promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral (but
any failure to request or assure that the Grantor execute and deliver such
instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the
validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security
Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and
delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor will, promptly and from
time to time at the request of the Secured Party: (i) xxxx, or permit the

statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments
or notices (including fixture filings with any necessary legal descriptions as

be deemed to be fixtures, and instruments and notices with respect to vehicle
titles), as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may request,
in order to perfect, preserve, and enhance the Security Interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby; and (iv) obtain waivers, in form satisfactory to
the Secured Party, of any claim to any Collateral from any landlords or
mortgagees of any property where any Inventory or Equipment is located.

Financing Statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, and
amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the

reproduction of this Agreement or any Financing Statement covering the
Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a Financing Statement
where permitted by law.
8 (c) The Grantor will furnish to the Secured Party from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Secured Party may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party.
8 (d) In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the other rights, powers
and remedies granted to the Secured Party in this Agreement, the Grantor hereby
appoints the Secured Party the Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority
in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or otherwise, from
time to time in the Secured Party's good faith discretion, to take any action
(including the right to collect on any Collateral) and to execute any instrument
that the Secured Party may reasonably believe is necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in a manner consistent with the terms
hereof.

----------------
other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or

extent (a) such taxes, charges or claims are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, (b) such proceedings do not involve any material danger

time to time when requested by the Secured Party furnish to the Secured Party a
report on its Accounts, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles and Instruments,
naming the Account Debtors or other obligors thereon, the amount due and the
aging thereof. The Secured Party or its designee is authorized to contact
Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on any such Collateral from time to
time to verify the existence, amount and/or terms of such Collateral.
Section 12. Notice of Loss. The Grantor will promptly notify the Secured

notice is given to the Secured Party.
Section 14. Lawful Use; Fair Labor Standards Act. The Grantor will use and
------------------------------------
keep the Collateral, and will require that others use and keep the Collateral,
only for lawful purposes, without violation of any federal, state or local law,
statute or ordinance. All Inventory of the Grantor as of the date of this
Agreement that was produced by the Grantor or with respect to which the Grantor
performed any manufacturing or assembly process was produced by the Grantor (or
such manufacturing or assembly process was conducted) in compliance in all
material respects with all requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and all
Inventory produced, manufactured or assembled by the Grantor after the date of
this Agreement will be so produced, manufactured or assembled, as the case may
be.
Section 15. Action by the Secured Party. If the Grantor at any time fails
---------------------------
to perform or observe any of the foregoing agreements, the Secured Party shall
7
have (and the Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party) the right, power and
authority (but not the duty) to perform or observe such agreement on behalf and
in the name, place and stead of the Grantor (or, at the Secured Party's option,
in the Secured Party's name) and to take any and all other actions which the
Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure
(including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens,
the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments,
security agreements and Financing Statements, and the indorsement of
instruments); and the Grantor shall thereupon pay to the Secured Party on demand
the amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Secured Party in
connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such
agreements or the taking of such action by the Secured Party, together with
interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the highest lawful rate
then applicable to any of the Obligations, and all such monies expended, costs
and expenses and interest thereon shall be part of the Obligations secured by
the Security Interest.
Section 16. Insurance Claims. As additional security for the payment and
----------------
performance of the Obligations, the Grantor hereby assigns to the Secured Party
any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned
premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the Grantor with
respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter
covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or
valuable papers pertaining thereto. At any time, whether before or after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the Secured Party may (but need not), in the
Secured Party's name or in Grantor's name, execute and deliver proofs of claim,
receive all such monies, indorse checks and other instruments representing
payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim
against the issuer of any such policy. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, so
long as no Event of Default exists the Grantor shall be entitled to all
insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment or Inventory provided that such
proceeds are applied to the cost of replacement Equipment or Inventory.
Section 17. The Secured Party's Duties. The powers conferred on the
-----------------------------
Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured
Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the safekeeping of
any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to the safekeeping which the Secured Party accords its own
property of like kind. Except for the safekeeping of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for monies and for other properties actually
received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty, as to any
Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge
of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any Persons or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The
Secured Party will take action in the nature of exchanges, conversions,
redemptions, tenders and the like requested in writing by the Grantor with
respect to the Collateral in the Secured Party's possession if the Secured Party
in its reasonable judgment determines that such action will not impair the
Security Interest or the value of the Collateral, but a failure of the Secured
Party to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to
exercise reasonable care.
Section 18. Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute
-------
an Event of Default under this Agreement: (a) the failure of the Grantor to pay
when due any of the Obligations; (b) the failure of the Grantor to perform any
agreement of the contained herein or in any other agreement with the Secured
Party; (c) any statement, representation or warranty of the Grantor made herein
or at any time furnished to the Secured Party is untrue in any respect as of the
date made; (d) the entry of any judgment against the Grantor; (e) the Grantor
becomes insolvent or is generally not paying its debts as they become due; (f)
the appointment of or assignment to a custodian, as that term is defined in the
United States Bankruptcy Code, for any property of the Grantor, or encumbrance,
levy, seizure or attachment of any portion of the Collateral; (g) the
commencement of any proceeding or the filing of a petition by or against the
Grantor under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code for
liquidation, reorganization or adjustment of debts or under any insolvency law
or other statute or law providing for the modification or adjustment of the
8
rights of creditors; or (h) dissolution, consolidation, or merger, or transfer
of a substantial part of the property of the Grantor.
Section 19. Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
---------------------
Default and at any time thereafter:
19 (a) The Secured Party may exercise and enforce any and all rights and
remedies available upon default to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
Code.
19 (b) The Secured Party shall have the right to enter upon and into and
take possession of all or such part or parts of the properties of the Grantor,
including lands, plants, buildings, Equipment, Inventory and other property as
may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Secured Party to permit
or enable the Secured Party to manufacture, produce, process, store or sell or
complete the manufacture, production, processing, storing or sale of all or any
part of the Collateral, as the Secured Party may elect, and to use and operate
said properties for said purposes and for such length of time as the Secured
Party may deem necessary or appropriate for said purposes without the payment of
any compensation to Grantor therefor. The Secured Party may require the Grantor
to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request
of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a
place or places to be designated by the Secured Party.
19 (c) Any sale of Collateral may be in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party
may reasonably believe are commercially reasonable. The Secured Party shall not
be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given, and the Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement made at the time and place fixed therefor, and such
9
sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned.
19 (d) The Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use,
without charge, all of the Grantor's property, including, without limitation,
all of the Grantor's labels, trademarks, copyrights, patents and advertising
matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral,
in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral,
and the Grantor's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall
inure to the Secured Party's benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.
19 (e) If notice to the Grantor of any intended disposition of Collateral
or any other intended action is required by law in a particular instance, such
notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given in the manner specified
for the giving of notice in Section 24 hereof at least ten calendar days prior
to the date of intended disposition or other action, and the Secured Party may
exercise or enforce any and all other rights or remedies available by law or
agreement against the Collateral, against the Grantor, or against any other
Person or property.
Section 20. Remedies as to Certain Rights to Payment. Upon the occurrence
----------------------------------------
of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter the Secured Party may notify
any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on any Accounts or other Collateral
that the same have been assigned or transferred to the Secured Party and that
the same should be performed as requested by, or paid directly to, the Secured
Party, as the case may be. The Grantor shall join in giving such notice, if the
Secured Party so requests. The Secured Party may, in the Secured Party's name
or in the Grantor's name, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or
property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such
Collateral or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or
otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligation of any such
Account Debtor or other Person. If any payments on any such Collateral are
received by the Grantor after an Event of Default has occurred, such payments
shall be held in trust by the Grantor as the property of the Secured Party and
shall not be commingled with any funds or property of the Grantor and shall be
forthwith remitted to the Secured Party for application on the Obligations.
Section 21. Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the
------------------------
Secured Party 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 Secured
Party, be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, or then or at any time
thereafter be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, all or
any part of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any expenses of the
Secured Party payable pursuant to Section 22 hereof).
Section 22. Costs and Expenses; Indemnity. The Grantor will pay or
--------------------------------
reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
in each case all filing and recording fees and taxes and all reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents) incurred by the Secured Party
10
in connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction,
foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation,
administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement, and all
such costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Security
Interest. The Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless from
and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
Security Interest hereby created (including enforcement of this Agreement) or
the Secured Party's actions pursuant hereto, except claims, losses or
liabilities resulting from the Secured Party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Any liability of the Grantor to indemnify and hold the Secured
Party harmless pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be part of the
Obligations secured by the Security Interest. The obligations of the Grantor
under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 23. Waivers; Remedies; Marshalling. This Agreement can be waived,
------------------------------
modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest can be
released, only explicitly in a writing signed by the Secured Party. A waiver so
signed shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or
enforcement of any rights and remedies available to the Secured Party. All
rights and remedies of the Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singly in any order or sequence, or concurrently, at the Secured
Party's option, and the exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy
shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any
other. The Grantor hereby waives all requirements of law, if any, relating to
the marshalling of assets which would be applicable in connection with the
enforcement by the Secured Party of its remedies hereunder, absent this waiver.
Section 24. Notices. Any notice or other communication to any party in
-------
connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by manual
delivery, telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, overnight courier or United
States mail (postage prepaid) addressed to such party at the address specified
on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as such party shall have
specified to the other party hereto in writing. All periods of notice shall be
measured from the date of delivery thereof if manually delivered, from the date

terminate. Upon any such termination, the Secured Party will return to the
