represents and warrants that it has, and covenants and agrees that at all times
during the term of this Agreement, it will have, good and marketable title to
the Collateral from time to time owned or acquired by it free and clear of all
mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances,
except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions to the Loan Agreement,
purchase money security interest arising by action of law or those interests
junior in right of payment and enforcement to that of the Lenders or in favor of
the Lenders, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of
all persons, firms and entities whomsoever. The Borrower represents and warrants
that as of the date of this Agreement the Lenders have, and that all times in
the future the Lenders will have, a security interest in the Collateral prior
and superior to the rights of all third parties in the Collateral existing on
the date of this Agreement or arising after the date of this Agreement except as
set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions to the Loan Agreement. The Borrower
covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Lenders' Agent (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the
Collateral from any other person, firm or entity, except for borrowings which
are subordinate to the rights of the Lenders (ii) grant or create or permit to
attach or exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance, or
security interest on, of or in any of the Collateral or any portion of the
Collateral except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions to the Loan
Agreement, those in favor of the Lenders, purchase money security interest
arising by action of law or those junior in right of payment and enforcement to
that of the Lenders, (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against the
Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, except those that are subordinate
to the rights of the Lenders, or (iv) permit any financing statements to be on
file with respect to any of the Collateral, except financing statements in favor
of the Lenders or those junior in right of payment and enforcement to that of
the Lenders. The Borrower shall faithfully preserve and protect the Lenders'
security interest in the Collateral and shall, at its own cost and expense,
cause, or assist the Lenders' Agent to cause that security interest to be
perfected and continue perfected so long as the Debt or any portion of the Debt

Lenders' security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements
of this Agreement, the Borrower shall from time to time at the reasonable
request of the Lenders' Agent file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded,
such instruments, documents and notices, including assignments, financing
statements and continuation statements, as the Lenders' Agent may deem necessary
or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and continue perfected such
security interest. The Borrower shall do all such other acts and things and
shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including
further security agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices; as
the Lenders' Agent in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or advisable
from time to time in order to perfect and
preserve the priority of such security interest in the Collateral prior to the
rights of all third persons, firms and entities, except as may be otherwise
provided in this Agreement. The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Lenders' Agent
as the attorney-in-fact of the Borrower to do all acts and things which the

Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, signing any financing statements or amendments to financing
statements evidencing the Lenders' security interest in the Collateral for and
on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a
financing statement and may be filed instead of the original.

loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures is on
the Borrower. The Borrower shall insure the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures
against such risks and casualties and in such amounts and with such insurance
companies in accordance with its past practices. At the request of the Lenders'
Agent, each of the Borrower's policies of insurance shall contain provision for
notification of the Lenders' Agent thirty (30) days prior to the termination of
each such policy. At the request of the Lenders' Agent, copies of all such
policies, or certificates evidencing the same, shall be deposited with the
Lenders' Agent. If the Borrower fails to effect and keep in full force and
effect such insurance or fails to pay the premiums when due, the Lenders' Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of the Borrower and
add the cost thereof to the Debt. After the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Borrower shall assign and set over to the Lenders' Agent all monies which
may become payable on account of such insurance and shall direct the insurers to
pay the Lenders' Agent any amount so due. In such event, the Lenders' Agent is

check which may be payable to the Borrower in order to collect the proceeds of
such insurance. The Borrower shall apply such proceeds either (i) to the repair
of damaged Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures, or (ii) to the replacement of
destroyed Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures with Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures
of the same or similar type and function and of at least equivalent value (in
the sole judgment of the Lenders' Agent), provided such replacement Equipment,
Fixtures or Inventory is made subject to the security interest created by this
Agreement and constitutes a security interest in the Equipment, Inventory and
Fixtures subject only to security interests permitted under this Agreement, and
is perfected by the filing, of financing statements in the appropriate public
offices and the taking of such other action as may be necessary or desirable in
order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. In the event
that there is any balance of insurance proceeds remaining in the possession of
the Lenders' Agent after payment in full of the Debt, such balance shall be paid
over to the Borrower or its order.

The Borrower shall maintain the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures, and
every portion thereof, in good condition, repair and working order, reasonable
wear and tear alone excepted, and shall pay and discharge all taxes, levies and
other impositions assessed or levied thereon as well as the cost of repairs to
or maintenance of the same. If the Borrower
fails to do so, the Lenders' Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the
cost of such repairs or maintenance and such taxes, levies or impositions for
the account of the Borrower and add the amount of such payments to the
Debt.

9. Preservation of Rights
Against Third Parties; Preservation of Collateral in Lenders' Agent's
Possession. Until such time
as the Lenders' Agent exercises its right to effect direct collection of the
Accounts and the Chattel Paper and to effect the enforcement of the Borrower's
contract rights, the Borrower assumes full responsibility for taking any and all
steps to preserve rights in respect of the Accounts and the Chattel Paper and
its contracts against prior parties. The Lenders' Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such of the.
Collateral as may come into its possession from time to time if the Lenders'
Agent takes such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall request in
writing, provided that such requested action shall not, in the judgment of the
Lenders' Agent, impair the Lenders security interest in the Collateral or their
right in, or the value of, the Collateral, and providedfurther that the Lenders'
Agent receives such written request in sufficient time to permit the Lenders'
Agent to take the requested action.
10. Events of Default and
Remedies.
(a) If any
one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, the Lenders'
Agent may then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall
continue, foreclose the Lenders' lien or security interest in the Collateral in
any way permitted by law, or upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the
Borrower, sell any or all Collateral at private sale at any time or place in one
or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms, either for cash or
on credit, as the Lenders' Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, or sell any
or all Collateral at public auction, either for cash or on credit, as the
Lenders' Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, and at any such sale, the
Lenders may bid for and become the purchaser of any or all such Collateral.
Pending any such action the Lenders' Agent may liquidate the
Collateral.
(b) If any
one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist, the Lenders may
then, or at any time thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, grant
extensions to, or adjust claims of, or make compromises or settlements with,
debtors, guarantors or any other parties with respect to Collateral or any
securities, guarantees or insurance applying thereon, without notice to or the
consent of the Borrower, without affecting the Borrower's liability under this
Agreement or the Notes. The Borrower waives notice of acceptance, of nonpayment,
protest or notice of protest of any Accounts or Chattel Paper or any of its
contract rights and any other notices to which the Borrower may be
entitled.
(c) If any
one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist and be
continuing, then in any such event, the Lenders' Agent shall have such
additional rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral or any portion
thereof as are provided by the Code and such other rights and remedies in
respect thereof which it may have at law or in equity or under this Agreement,
including without limitation the right to enter any premises where Equipment,
Inventory and/or Fixtures are located and take possession and control thereof
without demand or notice
and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which the Borrower
expressly waives.
10
(d) The
Lenders' Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any sale or liquidation of the
Collateral, and, subject to Section 7, any Proceeds received by the Lenders'
Agent from insurance, first to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Lenders in connection with such sale or collection, including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, second to the
payment of the Debt, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as
the Lenders' Agent in its sole discretion may elect, and then to pay the
balance, if any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. If such
Proceeds are insufficient to pay the amounts required by law, the Borrower shall
be liable for any deficiency.
(e) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default and delivery of a written request, the
Borrower shall promptly upon demand by the Lenders' Agent assemble the
Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures and make them available to the Lenders' Agent
at a place or places to be designated by the Lenders' Agent. The rights of the
Lenders' Agent under this paragraph to have the Equipment, Inventory and
Fixtures assembled and made available to it is of the essence of this Agreement
and the Lenders may, at their election, enforce such right by an action in
equity for injunctive relief or specific performance.
If any
one or more of the Events of Default shall occur or shall exist and be
continuing, then in any event, the Lenders have the right to use and operate
under all trade names under which the Borrower does business.
11. Defeasance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement upon
payment and performance in full of the Debt owed to each Lender, this Agreement
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as to such Lender, and
such Lender shall thereupon terminate its security interest in the Collateral.
Upon such termination, Lender's Agent hereby authorizes the Company to file any
UCC termination statements necessary to reflect such termination and Lenders'
Agent will execute and deliver to the Company any additional documents or
instruments as Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, provided that, without the
prior written consent of the Lenders' Agent, the Borrower may not assign this
Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement or delegate any of its
duties or obligations under this Agreement and any such attempted assignment or
delegation shall be null and void. This Agreement is not intended and shall not
be construed to obligate the Lenders' Agent to take any action whatsoever with
respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform or discharge any
obligation, duty or disability of the Borrower.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of
this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or
in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any
manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement in any
jurisdiction.
11
(b) No
failure or delay on the part of the Lenders' Agent in exercising any right,
remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement and the Notes shall operate as a
waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the-Lenders'

privilege preclude any other right, remedy, power or privilege or further
