counterclaim or claim which could be reasonably expected,

have been made by Remington on and as of each date on which a Revolver
Loan is made by the Lenders to the Borrowers under the Credit
Agreement, in each case as though made on and as of each such date
(or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to
have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

the Lenders and, with respect to Section 5(a), the Agent covenants and agrees

such financing or continuation statement without the signature of
Remington to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. The Agent agrees
to notify Remington and Remington agrees to notify the Agent of any
financing or continuation statement filed by it pursuant to this
Section 5(a), provided that any failure to give any such notice shall
not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such filing. Unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Remington

shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the request of the Agent,
such Collateral shall be immediately delivered to the Agent, duly
endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Agent, to be held as
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Remington shall not permit any

requirement of Applicable Law with respect to any of the Collateral or

by the Agent or any Lender under any Account for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Account, Remington
will save, indemnify and keep harmless and defend the Agent and such
Lender from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason
of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or
liability whatsoever of the account debtor thereunder, arising out of
a material breach by Remington of any obligation thereunder.

its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.
(e) Compliance with Laws, etc. Remington will comply in
all material respects with all Applicable Law with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof, except to the extent that the failure

rights hereunder, the priority of their Liens on the Collateral or the
value of the Collateral.

will perform and comply in all material respects with all its
contractual obligations relating to the Collateral, unless (i) such

Accounts. At all times, Remington will not, except in the Ordinary
Course of Business, grant any extension of the time of payment of any
material Account constituting Collateral, compromise, compound or
settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly
or partially, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any
credit or discount whatsoever thereon, unless such extensions,
compromises, compoundings, settlements, releases, credits or discounts
are permitted by the Credit Documents.
(l) Maintenance of Equipment. Remington will maintain each
material item of its Equipment in good operating condition, ordinary
wear and tear and immaterial impairments of value and damage by the
elements excepted, and will provide all maintenance, service and
repairs necessary for such purpose, except to the extent that the
failure to do any of the foregoing could not be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Maintenance of Insurance. Remington will maintain,
with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, (i)
insurance (including property insurance) in at least such amounts and
against at least such risks (but including in any event public
liability, product liability and business interruption where
reasonably obtainable) as are usually insured against in the same
general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business;
and furnish to the Agent, upon written request, information in
reasonable detail as to the insurance carried and (ii) insurance
policies relating to Remington's Inventory and Equipment (A) insuring
Remington's Inventory and Equipment against loss by fire, explosion,
theft and such other casualties as are usually insured against by
companies engaged in the same or a similar business, (B) insuring
Remington against liability for
13
personal injury and property damage relating to such Inventory and
Equipment, (C) providing that no cancellation, material reduction in
amount or material change in the coverage referred to in clause (A)
shall be effective until at least 10 days after receipt by the Agent
of written notice thereof, (D) naming the Agent and the Lenders as
additional insured parties and (E) being otherwise reasonably
satisfactory in all material respects to the Agent.
(n) Further Identification of Collateral. Remington will
furnish to the Agent and the Lenders from time to time such 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.
(o) Notices. Remington will advise the Agent and the
Lenders promptly, in reasonable detail, at their respective addresses
set forth in the Credit Agreement, (i) of any Lien (other than
Permitted Liens) on, or material adverse claim asserted against, any
of the Collateral and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which
could reasonably be expected, in the aggregate, to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or the Liens
created hereunder.
(p) Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Remington will not
(i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of
business from that specified in Section 4(f) or remove its books and
records from the locations specified in Section 4(c), (ii) except as
permitted pursuant to Section 8.1.1 of the Credit Agreement, permit
any of the Inventory or the Equipment to be kept at locations other
than those listed in Schedule III hereto, unless such Inventory or
Equipment is conveyed, sold, leased, transferred, assigned or
otherwise disposed of as permitted by Section 10.2.9 of the Credit
Agreement or (iii) change its name, identity or corporate structure to
such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Agent in
connection with this Agreement would become seriously misleading,
unless Remington shall have complied with the following: (A) with
respect to clause (i) and (ii) above, Remington shall have given the
Agent prior written notice thereof, (B) with respect to clause (iii)
above, Remington (x) shall have given the Agent at least 30 days'
prior written notice thereof and (y) prior to effecting any such
change, shall have taken such actions as may be necessary or, upon the
reasonable request of the Agent, advisable to continue the perfection
and priority of the Liens granted pursuant hereto; provided in each
case under clause (B)(y), that the Agent shall have taken all actions
required by Section 5(a) hereof in connection with such actions of
Remington.
(q) Copyrights. Remington will not own nor at any time in
the future acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Copyright
or Copyright License which is material to the business of Remington
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than (i) with respect to
Computer Hardware and Software licenses or other Copyright licenses
granted to Remington in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) in
connection with any rights of Remington in respect of security
interests in collateral or (iii) with respect to which (A) the Agent
shall have been given prior written notice of the acquisition of any
right, title or interest therein or
14
thereto and (B) if reasonably requested by the Agent, a security
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Agent shall have been
executed by Remington.
(r) Commercial Tort Claims. If Remington shall at any time
hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, Remington shall promptly
notify Agent in a writing signed by Remington of the brief details
thereof and grant to Agent in such writing a security interest therein
and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement,
with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.
6. Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Powers. Remington hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power
of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Remington
and in the name of Remington or in its own name, from time to time in
the Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Remington hereby gives the
Agent the power and right, on behalf of Remington, without notice to
or assent by Remington, to do the following at any time when any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law:
(i) in the name of Remington or its own name, or
otherwise, to take possession of and indorse and collect any
checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the
payment of moneys due under any Account, Contract, Instrument
or General Intangible (to the extent that any of the foregoing
constitute Collateral) or with respect to any other Collateral
and to file any claim or to take any other action or institute
any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
deemed appropriate by the Agent for the purpose of collecting
any and all such moneys due under any such Account, Contract,
Instrument or General Intangible or with respect to any such
other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or
placed on the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens, to effect
any repairs or any insurance required by the terms of this
Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor
and the costs thereof; and
(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment
with respect to any of the Collateral to make payment of any
and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the
Agent or as the Agent shall direct; (B) to ask for, or demand,
collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
15
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any
time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to
sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills
of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other
documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to
commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law
or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect
the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or
proceeding brought against Remington with respect to any of the
Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit,
action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in
connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as
the Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any pre-existing
rights or licenses, to assign any Patent or Trademark (along
with the goodwill of the business to which any such Patent or
Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such
conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole
discretion determine; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer,
pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and
to do, at the Agent's option and Remington's expense, at any
time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent
deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and the Agent's Liens thereon and to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
Remington might do.
Remington hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until payment in
full of the Obligations (except for contingent obligations of any
Obligor under indemnifications that survive termination of the
Revolver Commitments) and the termination of all Revolver Commitments.
(b) Other Powers. Remington also authorizes the Agent,
from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in
Section10 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c) No Duty on the Part of Agent or Lenders. The powers
conferred on the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect
the Agent's and the Lenders' interests in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon the Agent or any Lender to exercise any such
powers. The Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to Remington for any act or
failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
16
7. Performance by Agent of Remington's Obligations. If Remington
fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the
Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the
reasonable expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate shall be payable
by Remington to the Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured
hereby.
8. Proceeds. It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, (a) all Proceeds of any Collateral received by Remington
consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Remington
in trust for the Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of
Remington, and at the request of the Agent shall, forthwith upon receipt by
Remington, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by Remington
(duly indorsed by Remington to the Agent, if required by the Agent), and (b) any
and all such Proceeds received by the Agent (whether from Remington or
otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent, as
collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and then
or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Agent against, the Obligations
then due and owing. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the payment in
full of the Obligations (except for contingent obligations of any Obligor under
indemnifications that survive termination of the Revolver Commitments) and the
termination of all the Revolver Commitments, shall be paid over to Remington or
to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
9. Events of Default. It is understood and agreed that an event of
default shall be deemed to have occurred under this Agreement, and Agent shall
be entitled to take such actions as are elsewhere provided herein, in the event
that an Event of Default under and (as defined in) the Credit Agreement or any
of the other Credit Documents shall have occurred.
10. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Agent may (and, upon written instructions to do so from the Required
Lenders, shall) exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the
UCC, together with every right and remedy available to Agent, under any other
Applicable Law, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all other rights
and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without demand of performance or
other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except
any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Remington or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby waived), may (and upon written instructions to do so from the Required
Lenders, shall) in such circumstances, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or
any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), whether on Remington's
premises or elsewhere, but subject to any pre-existing rights or licenses, in
one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange,
broker's board or office of the Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms
and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery
17
without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Lender shall have the
right, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any such sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in Remington, which right or equity is hereby waived or
released. Remington further agrees, at the Agent's request, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral
and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at Remington's premises or elsewhere. Alternatively, Agent may
peaceably by its own means or with judicial assistance enter Remington's
premises and take possession of the Collateral or dispose of the Collateral on
Remington's premises without resistance or interference by Remington. The Agent
shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations then due
and owing, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of
any other amount required by any provision of Applicable Law, need the Agent
account for the surplus, if any, to Remington. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, Remington waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire
against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or
sale of the Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may
arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of them. If any
notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10
days before such sale or other disposition. Remington shall remain liable for
any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay the then outstanding Obligations, including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent or
any Lender to collect such deficiency.
11. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The
Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC
or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals
with similar property for its own account. Except as provided in the foregoing
sentence or elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document, neither the Agent
nor any Lender shall be liable or responsible to Remington in any way for the
safeguarding of any of the Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto, for any
diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall
be at all times at Remington's risk.
12. Waivers. In addition to the other waivers contained herein and
in any other Credit Document, Remington hereby expressly waives, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law: demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of
default or dishonor, notice of payments and nonpayments, or of any default,
release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of all commercial paper,
instruments or guaranties at any time held by Agent or any of the Lenders on
which Remington may in any way be liable; notice or hearing in connection with,
and the requirement to post a bond as a condition to, the issuance of an
immediate writ of possession with respect to any of the Collateral; any
requirement that the
18
Agent or any of the Lenders protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any
Obligor or any other Person or any Collateral, including any rights any Obligor
may otherwise have under the New York General Obligations Law; and notice of any
action taken by Agent, in each case unless expressly required by this Agreement,
any other Credit Document or by Applicable Law.
13. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and
agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are powers coupled with
an interest and are irrevocable until payment in full of the Obligations (except
for contingent obligations of any Obligor under indemnifications that survive
termination of the Revolver Commitments) and the termination of all Revolver
Commitments.
14. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
15. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction
hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
16. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 17
hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any
right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure
to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any
Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent or any Lender of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to any right or remedy which the Agent or such Lender would otherwise have
on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative,
may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
17. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies;
Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written
instrument executed by Remington and the Agent. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of Remington and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except
that Remington may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.
19
18. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 15.9 of the
Credit Agreement.
19. Authority of Agent. Remington acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action
taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option,
voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Agent and the
Lenders be governed by the Credit Documents and by such other agreements with
respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the
Agent and Remington, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as
agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from
acting, and Remington shall not be under any obligation to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.
20. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF ANY COLLATERAL
SHALL BE LOCATED IN ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW YORK, THE LAWS OF SUCH
JURISDICTION SHALL GOVERN THE METHOD, MANNER AND PROCEDURE FOR FORECLOSURE OF
AGENT'S LIEN UPON COLLATERAL AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF AGENT'S OTHER REMEDIES OF
COLLATERAL TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION ARE DIFFERENT FROM
OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING PROVISION FOR THE NOTICE AND SALE OF COLLATERAL UNDER THE LAW OF THE
SITUS, IT IS THE PARTIES' INTENTION THAT NEW YORK LAW CONTROL THE OBLIGATIONS OF
REMINGTON UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE SAME SUCH THAT,
FOR EXAMPLE, REMINGTON AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURSUANT TO NEW YORK LAW
REMINGTON SHALL BE LIABLE FOR A DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT NOTWITHSTANDING THE SALE OF
REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL UNDER A POWER OF SALE AND FURTHER THAT LENDERS OR AGENT
MAY, AT THEIR ELECTION, SEEK A MONEY JUDGMENT UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS WITHOUT
FIRST EXHAUSTING ALL COLLATERAL SECURING THE OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER.
21. Release of Collateral and Termination.
(a) At such time as the payment in full of the Obligations
(except for contingent obligations of any Obligor under
indemnifications that survive termination of the Revolver Commitments)
and the termination of all Revolver Commitments shall have occurred,
the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and
this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated
to survive such termination) of the Agent and Remington hereunder
shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance
of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert
to Remington. Upon
20
request of Remington following any such termination, the Agent shall
deliver (at the sole cost and expense of Remington) to Remington any
Collateral held by the Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver (at
the sole cost and expense of Remington) to Remington such documents as
Remington shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of by Remington in a transaction permitted by the
Credit Agreement, then the Agent shall execute and deliver to
Remington (at the sole cost and expense of Remington) all releases or
other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of
the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.
21
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Remington has caused this Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
