without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which will not be
unreasonably withheld, abandon any pending copyright, patent, or trademark
application, or Copyright, Patent, Trademark, or any other Intellectual Property
which is necessary for the conduct of Debtor's business.
Section J. Deposit, Commodity, and Security Accounts. Debtor shall not
-----------------------------------------
open any new deposit, commodity, or securities account or otherwise utilize any
such account other than the accounts identified on Schedule 3.2 unless Debtor
------------
shall have given Secured Party not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice thereof and shall have taken all action deemed reasonably necessary or
desirable by Secured Party to cause its security interest therein to be
perfected with the priority required by the Loan Documents. Prior to the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Debtor may make purchases
and sales of Investment Property or Financial Assets in accordance with the
restrictions on investment set out in the Credit Agreement. After the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor shall not be
authorized to make purchases and sales of the Investment Property or Financial
Assets and Debtor shall take such steps as Secured Party may reasonably request
to give Secured Party control over all Investment Property and Financial Assets.

expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which
Secured Party reasonably deems necessary or desirable to protect, preserve,
maintain, or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security
interest therein.
THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY IS A POWER COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE
IRREVOCABLE UNTIL TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.11
------------
HEREOF. Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the
exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or
implicitly granted to Secured Party in this Agreement, and shall not be liable
for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so that is not grossly negligent
nor an instance of willful misconduct. Neither Secured Party nor any Person
designated by Secured Party shall be liable for any act or omission or for any
error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law, except any of the same
resulting from its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power
of attorney is conferred on Secured Party solely to protect, preserve, maintain,
and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. Secured Party shall
not be responsible for any decline in the value of the Collateral not caused by
Secured Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct and shall not be required
to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect,
preserve, or maintain any Lien given to secure the Collateral.
Section B. Assignment by Secured Party. Secured Party and each Lender may
---------------------------
at any time assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of their rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, the Obligations) to any other Person, to the extent
permitted by, and upon the conditions contained in, the Credit Agreement, and
such Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits thereof granted
to Secured Party or the Lenders, as applicable, herein or otherwise.
Section C. Possession; Reasonable Care. Except to the extent prohibited
---------------------------
by applicable law that cannot be waived, Secured Party may, from time to time,
in its sole discretion, appoint one or more agents to hold physical custody, for
the account of Secured Party, of any or all of the Collateral that Secured Party
has a right to possess. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured
Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action
with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other
matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is
deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (Renaissance Worldwide, Inc.) - Page 14
ARTICLE VI.
Default
-------
Section A. Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have
-------------------
occurred and be continuing, Secured Party shall have the following rights and
remedies (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law that cannot be
waived):
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Secured
Party in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or by applicable law,
Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may (i)
without demand or notice to Debtor or any other person, collect, receive,
or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and for that
purpose Secured Party may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral
is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable,
and/or (ii) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially
reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. Secured Party shall
have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in
whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a
purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof free of any right or equity
of redemption on the part of Debtor, which right or equity of redemption is
hereby expressly waived and released by Debtor. Upon the request of Secured
Party, Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Secured Party at any place designated by Secured Party that is reasonably
convenient to Debtor and Secured Party. Debtor agrees that Secured Party
shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days prior written notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute
reasonable notice of such matters. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless
of the fact that notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. Secured
Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private
sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at
the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
Debtor shall be liable for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for sale, or the like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, legal
expenses, and other costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in
connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of
Secured Party's rights under this Agreement. Debtor shall remain liable for
any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral applied to the Obligations are insufficient to pay the
Obligations in full. Secured Party may apply the Collateral against the
Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. Debtor waives all rights
of marshaling, valuation, and appraisal in respect of the Collateral. Any
cash held by Secured Party as
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (Renaissance Worldwide, Inc.) - Page 15
Collateral and all cash proceeds received by 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 Secured Party, be held by Secured
Party as Collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter, shall be
applied in whole or in part by Secured Party against, the Obligations in
the order permitted by the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or
cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any, held by Secured Party
and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be
promptly paid over to Debtor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus; provided that Secured Party shall have no obligation
--------
to invest or otherwise pay interest on any amounts held by it in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Secured Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it
to be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of
Secured Party's nominee or nominees.
(c) Secured Party may exercise any and all rights and remedies of
Debtor under or in respect of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, any and all rights of Debtor to demand or otherwise require
payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any of the
Collateral and any and all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of
the Collateral. Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed
and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies and other instruments as
Secured Party may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Secured
Party to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to
exercise pursuant to this clause (c) and to receive the dividends,
----------
interest, and other distributions which it is entitled to receive
hereunder.
(d) Secured Party may collect or receive all money or property at any
time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the
Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so.
(e) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized
to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is
necessary, in the view of Secured Party's counsel, in order to avoid any
violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of
the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable Governmental Authority.
(f) For purposes of enabling Secured Party to exercise its rights and
remedies under this Section 6.1 and enabling Secured Party and its
-----------
successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral in each
case as Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies
under this Section 6.1, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party an
-----------
irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty
or other compensation to Debtor) to use, assign, license, or sublicense any
of the Intellectual Property, including in such license reasonable access
to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof and
further including in such license such rights of quality control and
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (Renaissance Worldwide, Inc.) - Page 16
inspection as are reasonably necessary to prevent the Trademarks included
in such license from claims of invalidation. This license shall also inure
to the benefit of all successors, assigns, and transferees of Secured
Party.
Section B. Private Sales. Debtor recognizes that Secured Party may be
--------------
unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the laws of any jurisdiction outside the
United States or in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time
(the "Securities Act") and applicable state securities laws, but may be
--------------
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group
of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such
Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
agrees that any such private sale shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Neither Secured
Party nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of
the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such
securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction
outside the United States, under the Securities Act, or under any applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. Debtor further
agrees to do or cause to be done, to the extent that Debtor may do so under
applicable law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to
make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and
binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders,
writs, injunctions, decrees, or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators, or
governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over
any such sale or sales, all at Debtor's expense.
ARTICLE VII.
Miscellaneous
-------------
Section A. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of
------------------------------
Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing
with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The
rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
Section B. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
----------------------
and inure to the benefit of Debtor and Secured Party and their respective
successors and assigns, except that Debtor may not assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured
Party, and Secured Party may not appoint a successor as Secured Party except in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.
