3. Warranties and Representations. Grantor warrants and represents to Agent
that:
(a) no Trademark has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction nor has any such Trademark been cancelled, in
whole or in part and each such Trademark is presently subsisting;
(b) Grantor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire and
unencumbered right, title and interest in and to each Trademark, free and
clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances, including without limitation,
shop rights and covenants by Grantor not to xxx third persons, other than
liens in favor of the Subordinated Lender, which are subordinate and junior
to the liens created hereunder in favor of Agent, and Permitted Liens;
(c) Grantor has no notice of any suits or actions commenced or
threatened with reference to any Trademark; and
(d) Grantor has the unqualified right to execute and deliver this
Security Agreement and perform its terms.
4. Restrictions on Future Agreements. Grantor agrees that, until the
Liabilities shall have been paid and satisfied in full and all of the Financing
Agreements shall have been terminated, Grantor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Agent, sell or assign its interest in any Trademark or enter
into any other agreement with respect to any Trademark which would affect the
validity or enforcement of the rights transferred to Agent under this Security
Agreement.

diligent investigation by Grantor, the Trademarks listed on Schedule A
constitute all of the federally registered Trademarks, and federal applications
for registration of Trademarks (other than "intent to use" applications until a

full or before the Financing Agreements have been terminated, Grantor shall (i)
become aware of any existing Trademarks of which Grantor has not previously
informed Agent, or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any Trademarks, which
benefit is not in existence on the date hereof, the provisions of this Security
Agreement above shall automatically apply thereto and Grantor shall give to
Agent prompt written notice thereof. Grantor hereby authorizes Agent to modify
this Security Agreement by amending Schedule A to include any such Trademarks.

products in connection with which the Trademarks are used, consistent with
commercially reasonable business practices. During the continuance of an Event
of Default, Grantor agrees that Agent, or a conservator appointed by Agent,
shall have the right to establish such additional product quality controls as
Agent, or said conservator, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to
assure maintenance of the quality of products sold by Grantor under the
Trademarks.
3
8. Release of Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is made for
Collateral purposes only. Upon payment and satisfaction in full of the
Liabilities and termination of all of the Financing Agreements, Agent shall take
such actions as may be necessary or proper to terminate the security interests
created hereby and pursuant to the Financing Agreements.
9. Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with the performance of
any of the agreements set forth herein shall be borne by Grantor. All fees,

with the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes in connection
therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, reasonable
counsel fees actually incurred, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise in
protecting, maintaining or preserving the Trademarks or in defending or
prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to the
Trademarks shall be borne by and paid by Grantor and until paid shall constitute
Liabilities.
10. Duties of Grantor. Grantor shall have the duty (i) to file and
prosecute diligently any trademark applications pending as of the date hereof or
hereafter until the Liabilities shall have been paid and satisfied in full and
all of the Financing Agreements have been terminated, (ii) to preserve and

ensure that the Trademarks are and remain enforceable, as commercially
reasonable. Any expenses incurred in connection with the Liabilities under this

Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to bring suit in
its own name to enforce the Trademarks and, if Agent shall commence any such
suit, Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and
execute any and all proper documents required by Agent in aid of such
enforcement and Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify
Agent for all costs and expenses actually incurred by Agent in the exercise of
its rights under this Section 11.
12. Waivers. No course of dealing between Grantor and Agent, nor any
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Agent, any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Financing Agreements
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
13. Severability. The provisions of this Security Agreement are severable,
and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall
affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and
shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Security Agreement in any
jurisdiction.
14. Modification. This Security Agreement cannot be altered, amended or
modified in any way, except as specifically provided in Section 5 hereof or by a
writing signed by the parties hereto.

15. Cumulative Remedies; Power of Attorney; Effect on Financing Agreements.
All of Agent's rights and remedies with respect to the Trademarks, whether
established hereby or by the Financing Agreements, or by any other agreements or
by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
Grantor hereby authorizes Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default,
to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Agent as Agent may
select, in its sole discretion, as Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
with power to (i) endorse Grantor's name on all applications, documents, papers
and instruments necessary or desirable for Agent in the use of the Trademarks or
(ii) take any other actions with respect to the Trademarks as Agent deems to be
in the best interest of Agent, or (iii) grant or issue any exclusive or
non-exclusive license under the Trademarks to anyone, or (iv) assign, pledge,
convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Trademarks to anyone.
Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable until the
Liabilities shall have been paid and satisfied in full and the Financing
Agreements have been terminated. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that this
Security Agreement is not intended to limit or restrict in any way the rights
and remedies of Agent and/or Lender under any of the Financing Agreements but
rather is intended to facilitate the exercise of such rights and remedies. Agent
and Lender shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies given them
by the terms of this Security Agreement and the Financing Agreements, all rights
and remedies allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Grantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Agent,
and its successors, nominees and assigns.

construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
