(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)            Secured Party may declare all Obligations secured hereby
immediately due and payable and shall have all of the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as now in effect in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts or under other applicable law.

 

(ii)           Secured Party may notify Debtor’s account or contract debtors (or
other obligors whose obligations to Debtor secure this agreement) of Secured
Party’s security interest and that such account or contract debtors are to make
payments directly to Secured Party.  Secured Party may send this notice in
Debtor’s name or in Secured Party’s name, and at Secured Party’s request Debtor
will join in Secured Party’s notice, provide written confirmation of Secured
Party’s security interest and request that payment be sent to Secured Party. 
Secured Party may enforce this obligation by specific performance.  Secured
Party may collect all amounts due on the accounts and accounts receivable.  Upon
and after notification by Secured Party to Debtor, Debtor shall hold any
proceeds and collections of any of the collateral in trust for Secured Party and
shall not commingle such proceeds or collections with any other of Debtor’s
funds, and Debtor shall deliver all such proceeds to Secured Party immediately
upon Debtor’s receipt thereof in the identical form received and duly endorsed
or assigned to Secured Party.

 

(iii)          with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of
others, Secured Party may enter upon any premises on or in which any of the
Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete
processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral.

 

(iv)          Secured Party may collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff
and realize upon any and all Collateral.

 

(v)           Secured Party may remove any or all of the Collateral from any
premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the
sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose.

 

(vi) Secured Party may sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise
dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with
respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any
office of Secured Party or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Secured Party
may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the
Secured Party having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any
right or equity of redemption of Debtor, which right or equity of redemption is
hereby expressly waived and released by Debtor.

 

(vii)         At the request of Secured Party, the Debtor shall cause the
Collateral, or such portion of the Collateral as Secured Party may direct, to be
assembled for Secured Party at such location (including, without limitation,

(viii)   Secured Party may exercise any other rights and remedies that it may
have under the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)           If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Secured Party upon
credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a
result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Secured Party.  If
notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior
notice by Secured Party to Debtor designating the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of
Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and
Debtor waives any other notice.  In the event Secured Party institutes an action
to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, Debtor waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise
be required.  Any such sale may take place from Debtor’s location or such other
location as Secured Party may designate.

 

(c)           Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, effective upon the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, to take any of the foregoing
actions set forth in this Section in the name of the Debtor or Secured Party to
carry out the terms of this Agreement and to protect, enforce, preserve or
perfect Secured Party’s rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
Such power of attorney is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an
interest.

 

(d)           For the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise the rights
and remedies hereunder, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party, to the extent
assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment
of royalty or other compensation to Debtor) to use, assign, license or
sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names,
trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other
Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by
Debtor, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

(e)           Secured Party may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually
received by Secured Party from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition
of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such
order as Secured Party may elect, whether or not then due.  Debtor shall remain
liable to Secured Party for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the
highest rate provided for in the Loan Agreement and, subject to the provisions
of the Asset Purchase Agreement, all costs and expenses of collection or
enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.

 

8.             WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIMS.  DEBTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO INTERPOSE
ANY CLAIMS, DEDUCTIONS, SETOFFS OR COUNTERCLAIMS OF ANY NATURE (OTHER THEN
COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIMS) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL OR
ANY MATTER ARISING THEREFROM OR RELATING HERETO OR THERETO.

on demand and shall constitute Obligations hereunder.  None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except
by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Secured Party and Debtor.  Secured
Party’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument
shall be cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.  This Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  This Agreement
shall be assignable by Secured Party without Debtor’s consent and shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Debtor and Secured Party and
their respective successors and assigns; PROVIDED THAT Debtor may not assign or
transfer any rights or obligations hereunder without Secured Party’s prior
written consent. This Security Agreement is supplemental to the Loan Agreement
(the terms of which, including, without limitation, the notice and governing law
provisions, no waiver provisions and waiver of jury trial provisions, the Debtor
expressly accepts, confirms and acknowledges are incorporated herein by
reference).  In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions
of this Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement the provisions of the Loan
Agreement shall control.
