Pledge and Security Agreement

This Pledge and Security Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 12,
2018, is made by and among CYNERGISTEK, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), the other Persons parties hereto from time to time (each, a
“Guarantor” and together with the Borrower, each, a “Debtor”, and collectively,
the “Debtors”), and BMO HARRIS BANK N.A., a national banking association
(“Bank”).  

Preliminary Statement

A.The Debtors have requested that Bank extend credit or otherwise make financial
accommodations available to or for the account of the Borrower pursuant to that
certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Debtors
and Bank (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”). 

B.As a condition to extending credit or otherwise making financial
accommodations available to or for the account of the Borrower, Bank requires,
among other things, that each Debtor grant Bank a security interest in such
Debtors’ personal property described herein subject to the terms and conditions
hereof. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to the Debtors, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Definitions.  All terms which are used in this Agreement which are
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas as in effect from
time to time (“UCC”) shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are
defined in the UCC, unless this Agreement shall otherwise specifically provide.
 Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used
herein as therein defined, and the following shall have (unless otherwise

participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time such guarantee

Section 4.Covenants, Agreements, Representations and Warranties.  Each Debtor
hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to, Bank that: 

(a)Each Debtor is a corporation, limited liability company, or limited
partnership, as applicable, duly organized and validly existing in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. No Debtor shall change
its jurisdiction of organization without Bank’s prior written consent (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Each Debtor is the sole and lawful owner
of the Collateral purported to be owned by it, and has full right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform each and all of the
matters and things herein provided for.  The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and the observance and performance of each of the matters and things
herein set forth, will not (i) contravene or constitute a default under any
provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon any
Debtor or any provision of any Debtor’s organizational documents (e.g., charter,
articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws, articles or certificate of
formation and limited liability company operating agreement, partnership
agreement, or similar organizational documents) or any covenant, indenture or
agreement of or affecting any Debtor or any of its property or (ii) result in
the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance on any property of any
Debtor except for the lien and security interest granted to Bank.  Other than as
contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, no material consent,
approval, authorization or other order or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required (A) for
the pledge by the Debtors of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for
the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Debtors, or (B)
for the exercise by Bank of the voting or other rights provided for in  

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

4

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement, except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws
affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.

(b)Each Debtor’s chief executive office and principal place of business is at,
and each Debtor keeps and shall keep all of its books and records relating to
Receivables at, the addresses listed on Schedule A; such Debtor has no other
executive offices or places of business other than those listed on Schedule A.
 The Collateral is and shall remain in the Debtors’ possession or control at the
locations listed under Item 2 on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the
“Permitted Collateral Locations”). If for any reason any Collateral is at any
time kept or located at a location other than a Permitted Collateral Location,
Bank shall nevertheless have and retain a lien on and security interest therein.
The Debtors own, and shall at all times own, all Permitted Collateral Locations,
except to the extent otherwise disclosed under Item 2 on Schedule A.  No Debtor
shall move its chief executive office or maintain a place of business at a
location other than those specified under Item 1 on Schedule A or permit the
Collateral to be located at a location other than those specified under Item 2
on Schedule A, in each case without first providing Bank 30 days’ prior written
notice of such Debtor’s intent to do so or otherwise with Bank’s prior written
consent; provided that such Debtor shall at all times maintain its chief
executive office and, unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by
Bank, Permitted Collateral Locations in the United States of America and, with
respect to any new chief executive office or place of business or location of
Collateral, such Debtor shall have taken all action requested by Bank to
maintain the lien and security interest of Bank in the Collateral at all times
fully perfected and in full force and effect. 

(c)The Debtors’ legal names and jurisdictions of organization are correctly set
forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.  No Debtor has transacted
business at any time during the immediately preceding fiveyear period, and no
Debtor currently transacts business, under any other legal names or trade names
other than the prior legal names and trade names (if any) set forth on
Schedule B attached hereto.  No Debtor shall change its legal name or transact
business under any other trade name without first giving 30 days’ prior written
notice of its intent to do so to Bank. 

(d)The Collateral and every part thereof is and shall be free and clear of all
security interests, liens (including, without limitation, mechanics’, laborers’
and statutory liens), attachments, levies, and encumbrances of every kind,
nature and description, whether voluntary or involuntary, except for the lien
and security interest of Bank therein and the other Permitted Liens.  Each
Debtor shall warrant and defend the Collateral against any claims and demands of
all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest in the Collateral
adverse to Bank. 

(e)Each Debtor shall promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges and levies upon or against such Debtor or any of the
Collateral, in each case before the same become delinquent and before penalties
accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that the same are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent foreclosure or other
realization upon any of the Collateral and preclude material interference with
the operation of such Debtor’s business in the ordinary course, and such Debtor
shall have established adequate reserves therefor. 

(f)No Debtor shall use, manufacture, sell, or distribute any Collateral in
violation of any statute, ordinance, or other governmental requirement.  No
Debtor shall waste or destroy the Collateral or  

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

5

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

any part thereof or be negligent in the care or use of any Collateral.  Each
Debtor shall perform its obligations under any contract or other agreement
constituting part of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that Bank
has no responsibility to perform such obligations.

(g)Subject to Sections 5(b), 7(b), 7(c), and 8(c) hereof, no Debtor shall,
without Bank’s prior written consent, sell, assign, mortgage, lease or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein. 

(h)Each Debtor shall at all times insure the Collateral in the amounts and in
the manner required by the Credit Agreement.  In case of any material loss,
damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part thereof, the Debtors,
whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, received on account of such
damage or destruction shall be sufficient for that purpose, at the Debtors’ cost
and expense, shall promptly repair or replace the Collateral so lost, damaged,
or destroyed, except to the extent such Collateral (i) prior to its loss,
damage, or destruction, had become uneconomical, obsolete or worn out and (ii)
is not necessary for or of material importance to the proper conduct of such
Debtor’s business in the ordinary course.  In the event any Debtor shall receive
any proceeds of such insurance, then, solely to the extent such Debtor does not
use the proceeds so received either to repair or to replace the Collateral
relating to such proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof and of Section
2.8(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement and the proceeds exceed $100,000 in the
aggregate in any Fiscal Year, such Debtor shall promptly pay over such proceeds
to Bank.  In the event Bank shall receive any proceeds of such insurance, so
long as no Event of Default is then in existence and is continuing and such
proceeds are not required to paid to Bank for application to the Loans hereunder
or under the Credit Agreement, Bank shall promptly pay over such proceeds to the
relevant Debtor.  Each Debtor hereby authorizes Bank, at Bank’s option, to
adjust, compromise and settle any losses under any insurance afforded at any
time during the existence of any Default or Event of Default, and each Debtor
does hereby irrevocably constitute Bank, and each of its nominees, officers,
agents, attorneys, and any other person whom Bank may designate, as such
Debtor’s attorneysinfact, with full power and authority to effect such
adjustment, compromise and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts drawn by an
insurer of the Collateral or any part thereof and to do everything necessary to
carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned premiums due
under policies of such insurance.  Unless Bank elects to adjust, compromise or
settle losses as aforesaid, any adjustment, compromise and/or settlement of any
losses under any insurance shall be made by the Debtors subject to final
approval of Bank (regardless of whether or not an Event of Default shall have
occurred) in the case of losses exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate for all such
losses.  Net insurance proceeds received by Bank under the provisions hereof or
under any policy of insurance covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall
be applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.
All insurance proceeds shall be subject to the lien and security interest of
Bank hereunder. 

UNLESS THE DEBTORS PROVIDE BANK WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED
BY THIS AGREEMENT, BANK MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT THE DEBTORS€ EXPENSE TO
PROTECT BANK€lS INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL.  THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT,
PROTECT THE DEBTORS€ INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL.  THE COVERAGE PURCHASED BY
BANK MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY DEBTOR MAKES OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE
AGAINST ANY DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL.  THE DEBTORS MAY LATER
CANCEL ANY SUCH INSURANCE PURCHASED BY BANK, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING BANK WITH
EVIDENCE THAT THE DEBTORS HAVE OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
  

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

6

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

IF BANK PURCHASES THIRD PARTY INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, THE DEBTORS WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING INTEREST AND ANY OTHER
THIRD PARTY CHARGES THAT BANK MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE
INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
INSURANCE.  THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE OBLIGATIONS SECURED
HEREBY.  THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE THE
DEBTORS MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON THEIR OWN.  

(i)Each Debtor shall at all times allow Bank and its representatives free access
to and right of inspection of the Collateral as provided in the Credit
Agreement. 

(j)If Collateral with a value in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate for all
such Collateral is in the possession or control of any Debtor’s agents or
processors and Bank so requests, such Debtor agrees to notify such agents or
processors in writing of Bank’s security interest therein and instruct them to
hold all such Collateral for Bank’s account and subject to Bank’s instructions
in accordance with this Agreement.  Each Debtor shall, upon the request of Bank,
authorize and instruct all bailees and other parties, if any, at any time
processing, labeling, packaging, holding, storing, shipping or transferring all
or any part of the Collateral to permit Bank and its representatives to examine
and inspect any of the Collateral then in such party’s possession and to verify
from such party’s own books and records any information concerning the
Collateral or any part thereof which Bank or its representatives may reasonably
seek to verify.  As to any premises not owned by any Debtor wherein Collateral
with a value in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate for all such Collateral is
located, such Debtor shall, at Bank’s reasonable request, cause each party
having any right, title or interest in, or lien on, any of such premises to
enter into an agreement (any such agreement to contain a legal description of
such premises) whereby such party disclaims any right, title and interest in,
and lien on, the Collateral and allows the removal of such Collateral by Bank
and is otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Bank. 

(k)Each Debtor agrees from time to time to deliver to Bank such evidence of the
existence, identity and location of the Collateral and of its availability as
collateral security pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, schedules
describing all Receivables created or acquired by such Debtor, copies of
customer invoices or the equivalent and original shipping or delivery receipts
for all merchandise and other goods sold or leased or services rendered,
together with such Debtor’s warranty of the genuineness thereof, and reports
stating the book value of Inventory and Equipment by major category and
location), in each case as Bank may reasonably request.  Bank shall have the
right to take reasonable measures to verify all or any part of the Collateral in
any manner, and through any medium, which Bank considers appropriate (including,
without limitation, the verification of Collateral by use of a fictitious name),
and each Debtor agrees to furnish all assistance and information, and perform
any acts, which Bank may reasonably require in connection therewith.  The
Debtors shall promptly notify Bank of any material Collateral which the Debtors
have determined to have been rendered obsolete, stating the prior book value of
such Collateral, its type and location.   

(l)Each Debtor shall comply with the terms and conditions of all leases,
easements, rightofway agreements and other similar agreements binding upon such
Debtor or affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, and all orders,
ordinances, laws and statutes of any city, state or other governmental entity,
department, or agency having jurisdiction with respect to the premises wherein
such Collateral is located or the conduct of business thereon other than as
could not reasonably be expected to

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

have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m)Schedule C attached hereto contains a true, complete, and current listing of
all patents, trademarks, tradestyles, copyrights, and other intellectual
property rights (including all registrations and applications therefor) owned by
each Debtor as of the date hereof that are registered with any Governmental
Authority.  The Debtors shall promptly notify Bank in writing of any additional
intellectual property rights acquired or arising after the date hereof that are
registered with any Governmental Authority, and shall submit to Bank a
supplement to Schedule C to reflect such additional rights (provided the
Debtors’ failure to do so shall not impair Bank’s security interest therein).
 Each Debtor owns or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, patents,
trademarks, trade names, tradestyles, copyrights, and rights with respect to the
foregoing which are required to conduct its business.  No event has occurred
which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the
revocation or termination of any such rights, and no Debtor is liable to any
person for infringement under applicable law with respect to any such rights as
a result of its business operations other than as could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(n)To each of the Debtor’s knowledge, Schedule F attached hereto contains a
true, complete and current listing of all Commercial Tort Claims with a value in
excess of $250,000 in the aggregate held by it as of the date hereof, each
described by reference to the specific incident giving rise to the claim.  The
Debtors agree to execute and deliver to Bank a supplement to this Agreement in
the form attached hereto as Schedule G, or in such other form acceptable to
Bank, promptly upon becoming aware of any other Commercial Tort Claim that
causes the value of all Commercial Tort Claims to exceed $250,000 in the
aggregate held or maintained by any Debtor arising after the date hereof
(provided the Debtors’ failure to do so shall not impair Bank’s security
interest therein). 

(o)Each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to Bank such further agreements,
assignments, instruments, and documents and to do all such other things as Bank
may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to assure Bank its lien and
security interest hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) such financing
statements, and amendments thereof or supplements thereto, and such other
instruments and documents as Bank may from time to time reasonably require in
order to comply with the UCC and any other applicable law, (ii) such agreements
with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and similar intellectual
property rights as Bank may from time to time reasonably require to comply with
the filing requirements of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office, and (iii) such control agreements with respect
to Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, LetterofCredit Rights, and electronic
Chattel Paper, and to cause the relevant depository institutions, financial
intermediaries, and issuers to execute and deliver such control agreements, as
Bank may from time to time require; provided that so long as the Debtors are in
compliance with Section 6.12(d) of the Credit Agreement, no such control
agreements will be required.  Each Debtor hereby agrees that a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any such financing
statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by Bank without
notice thereof to any Debtor wherever Bank in its sole discretion desires to
file the same.  Each Debtor hereby authorizes Bank to file any and all financing
statements covering the Collateral or any part thereof as Bank may reasonably
require, including financing statements describing the Collateral as “all
assets” or “all personal property” or words of like meaning.  Bank may order
lien searches from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, against the
Debtors and the Collateral, and the Debtors shall, jointly and severally,
promptly reimburse Bank for all third party costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such lien searches.  In the event for any reason  

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

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

the law of any jurisdiction other than Texas becomes or is applicable to the
Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Obligations, each Debtor agrees
to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to do all such
other things as Bank reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to preserve,
protect, and enforce the lien and security interest of Bank under the law of
such other jurisdiction.  Each Debtor agrees to mark its books and records to
reflect the lien and security interest of Bank in the Collateral.

(p)On failure of any Debtor to perform any of the covenants and agreements
herein contained, Bank may, at its option, perform the same and in so doing may
expend such sums as Bank may deem advisable in the performance thereof,
including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the
payment of any taxes, liens and encumbrances, expenditures made in defending
against any adverse claims, and all other expenditures which Bank may be
compelled to make by operation of law or which Bank may make by agreement or
otherwise for the protection of the security hereof.  All such sums and amounts
so expended shall be repayable by the Debtors immediately without notice or
demand, shall constitute additional Obligations secured hereunder and shall bear
interest from the date said amounts are expended at the rate per annum
determined by adding 2.0% to the sum of the Applicable Margin and the Base Rate
(the “Default Rate”).  No such performance of any covenant or agreement by Bank
on behalf of any Debtor, and no such advancement or expenditure therefor, shall
relieve any Debtor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or in any
way obligate Bank to take any further or future action with respect thereto.
 Bank, in making any payment hereby authorized, may do so according to any bill,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of
the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill,
statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim.  Bank is hereby authorized to charge any
account of any Debtor maintained with Bank for the amount of such sums and
amounts so expended. 

Section 5.Special Provisions Re: Receivables. 

(a)As of the time any Receivable becomes subject to the security interest
provided for hereby, and at all times thereafter, each Debtor shall be deemed to
have warranted as to each and all of such Receivables (i) that all warranties of
such Debtor set forth in this Agreement are, with respect to each such
Receivable, true and correct in all respects (or in all material respects if
such warranty is not by its terms already qualified as to materiality); (ii)
that each Receivable and, to such Debtor’s knowledge, all papers and documents
relating thereto, are genuine and in all material respects what they purport to
be; (iii) that each Receivable is valid and subsisting; (iv) that no such
Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument (other than a Check) or Chattel Paper
unless such Instrument or Chattel Paper has been endorsed by the applicable
Debtor and delivered to Bank (except to the extent Bank specifically requests
such Debtor not to do so with respect to any such Instrument or Chattel Paper);
(v) that the amount of the Receivable represented as owing is the correct amount
actually and unconditionally owing, except for normal cash discounts on normal
trade terms in the ordinary course of business; and (vi) that, to such Debtor’s
knowledge, the amount of such Receivable represented as owing is not disputed
and is not subject to any setoffs, credits, deductions or countercharges other
than those arising in the ordinary course of such Debtor’s business or as
otherwise disclosed to Bank.  Without limiting the foregoing, if Receivables
arising out of contracts with the United States of America, or any state or
political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, with a value in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, the
Debtors agree to notify Bank and execute whatever instruments  

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

9

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

and documents are required by Bank in order that such Receivable shall be
assigned to Bank and that proper notice of such assignment shall be given under
the federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any successor statute) or any similar
state or local statute, as the case may be.

(b)Unless and until an Event of Default occurs, any merchandise or other goods
which are returned by a customer or account debtor or otherwise recovered may be
resold by the Debtors in the ordinary course of its business as presently
conducted in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof; and, during the existence of
any Event of Default that is continuing, such merchandise and other goods shall
be set aside at the reasonable request of Bank and held by the Debtors as
trustee for Bank and shall remain part of Bank’s Collateral.  Unless and until
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each Debtor may settle and adjust
disputes and claims with its customers and account debtors, handle returns and
recoveries and grant discounts, credits and allowances in the ordinary course of
its business as presently conducted for amounts and on terms which such Debtor
in good faith considers advisable; and, during the existence of any Event of
Default that is continuing, the Debtors shall notify Bank promptly of all
returns and recoveries and, on Bank’s reasonable request, deliver any such
merchandise or other goods to Bank.  During the existence of any Event of
Default that is continuing, the Debtors shall also notify Bank promptly of all
disputes and claims and settle or adjust them at no expense to Bank, but no
discount, credit or allowance other than on normal trade terms in the ordinary
course of business as presently conducted shall be granted to any customer or
account debtor and no returns of merchandise or other goods shall be accepted by
any Debtor without Bank’s consent.  Bank may, at all times during the existence
of any Event of Default that is continuing, settle or adjust disputes and claims
directly with customers or account debtors for amounts and upon terms which Bank
considers advisable acting reasonably and in good faith. 

(c)Unless delivered to Bank or its agent, all tangible Chattel Paper and
Instruments in an amount exceeding $50,000 per any tangible Chattel Paper or
Instrument, as applicable, or $250,000 in the aggregate for all such tangible
Chattel Paper and Instruments, shall contain a legend acceptable to Bank
indicating that such Chattel Paper or Instrument is subject to the security
interest of Bank contemplated by this Agreement.  

Section 6.Collection of Receivables. 

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Debtors shall make
collection of all Receivables and may use the same to carry on their business in
accordance with sound business practice and otherwise subject to the terms
hereof. 

(b)If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event Bank
requests any Debtor to do so:  

(i)all Instruments and Chattel Paper at any time constituting part of the
Receivables or any other Collateral (including any postdated checks) shall, upon
receipt by any Debtor, be promptly endorsed to and deposited with Bank; and/or 

(ii)such Debtor shall promptly instruct all customers and account debtors to
remit all payments in respect of such Receivables or any other such Collateral
to a lockbox or lockboxes under the sole custody and control of Bank and which
are maintained in post office(s) selected by Bank.

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

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

(c)If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank or its designee
may notify any Debtor’s customers and account debtors at any time that
Receivables or any other Collateral have been assigned to Bank or of Bank’s
security interest therein, and either in its own name, or such Debtor’s name, or
both, demand, collect (including, without limitation, through a lockbox
analogous to that described in Section 6(b)(ii) hereof), receive, receipt for,
sue for, compound and give acquittance for any or all amounts due or to become
due on Receivables or any other Collateral, and in Bank’s discretion file any
claim or take any other action or proceeding which Bank may deem necessary or
appropriate to protect or realize upon the security interest of Bank in the
Receivables or any other Collateral. 

(d)Any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral transmitted to or otherwise
received by Bank pursuant to any of the provisions of Sections 6(b) or 6(c)
hereof may be handled and administered by Bank in and through a remittance
account at Bank, and each Debtor acknowledges that the maintenance of such
remittance account by Bank is solely for Bank’s convenience and that no Debtor
has any right, title or interest in such remittance account or any amounts at
any time standing to the credit thereof. Bank may, after a Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, apply all or any part of any proceeds of
Receivables or other Collateral received by it from any source to the payment of
the Obligations (whether or not then due and payable), such applications to be
made in such amounts, in such manner and order and at such intervals as Bank may
from time to time in its discretion determine, but not less often than once each
week.  Bank need not apply or give credit for any item included in proceeds of
Receivables or other Collateral until Bank has received final payment therefor
at its office in cash or final solvent credits, acceptable to Bank as such.
 However, if Bank does give credit for any item prior to receiving final payment
therefor and Bank fails to receive such final payment or an item is charged back
to Bank for any reason, Bank may at its election in either instance charge the
amount of such item back against the remittance account or any account of any
Debtor maintained with Bank, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.
 Concurrently with each transmission of any proceeds of Receivables or other
Collateral to the remittance account, the Debtors shall furnish Bank with a
report in such form as Bank shall require identifying the particular Receivable
or other Collateral from which the same arises or relates.  Unless and until an
Event of Default or an event or condition which with the lapse of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Bank will release proceeds of Collateral which Bank
has not applied to the Obligations as provided above from the remittance account
from time to time, but not less often than once per week.  Each Debtor, jointly
and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify Bank from and against all liabilities,
damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and
reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by Bank because of the
maintenance of the foregoing arrangements INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE;
provided, however, that no Debtor shall be required to indemnify Bank for any of
the foregoing to the extent they arise solely from its gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  Bank shall have no liability or responsibility to any
Debtor for accepting any check, draft or other order for payment of money
bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other
restrictive legend or endorsement whatsoever or be responsible for determining
the correctness of any remittance. 

Section 7.Special Provisions Re: Inventory and Equipment. 

(a)Each Debtor shall at its own cost and expense maintain, keep and preserve the
Inventory in good and merchantable condition and keep and preserve the Equipment
in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and, without limiting the foregoing, make all necessary and  

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

11

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

proper repairs, replacements and additions to the Equipment so that the
efficiency thereof shall be fully preserved and maintained.

(b)Each Debtor may, until otherwise notified by Bank, use, consume and sell the
Inventory in the ordinary course of its business, but a sale in the ordinary
course of business shall not under any circumstance include any transfer or sale
in satisfaction, partial or complete, of a debt owing by such Debtor. 

(c)Each Debtor may, until otherwise notified by Bank, sell obsolete, worn out or
unusable Equipment which is concurrently replaced with similar Equipment at
least equal in quality and condition to that sold and owned by such Debtor free
of any lien, charge or encumbrance other than the security interest granted
hereby. 

(d)As of the time any Inventory or Equipment becomes subject to the security
interest provided for hereby and at all times thereafter, each Debtor shall be
deemed to have warranted as to any and all of such Inventory and Equipment that
all warranties of such Debtor set forth in this Agreement with respect to such
Inventory and Equipment are true and correct in all respects (or in all material
respects if such warranty is not by its terms already qualified as to
materiality); that all of such Inventory and Equipment is located at a location
set forth pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and that, in the case of Inventory,
such Inventory is new and unused and in good and merchantable condition.  Each
Debtor warrants and agrees that no Inventory is or will be consigned to any
other person without Bank’s prior written consent. 

(e)The Debtors shall at their own cost and expense cause the lien of Bank in and
to any portion of Collateral with a value in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate
for all such Collateral subject to a certificate of title law to be duly noted
on such certificate of title or to be otherwise filed in such manner as is
prescribed by law in order to perfect such lien and shall cause all such
certificates of title and evidences of lien to be deposited with Bank. 

(f)Except for Equipment from time to time located on the real estate described
on Schedule D attached hereto and as otherwise disclosed to Bank in writing,
none of the Equipment is or will be attached to real estate in such a manner
that the same may become a fixture. 

(g)If any of the Inventory with value in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate for
all such Inventory is at any time evidenced by a document of title, such
document shall be promptly delivered by the applicable Debtor to Bank except to
the extent Bank specifically requests such Debtor not to do so with respect to
any such document. 

Section 8.Special Provisions Re: Pledged Collateral, Investment Property and
Deposits. 

(a)Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
thereafter until notified to the contrary by Bank pursuant to Section 10(d)
hereof: 

(i)the Debtors shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give
consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof for all
purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document or adverse to Bank; provided, however, that
no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action  

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

12

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of Bank
in respect of the Pledged Collateral or which would authorize, effect or consent
to (unless and to the extent expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement):

(A)the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;  

(B)the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person;  

(C)the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the
assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of Bank; 

(D)any change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the
authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or the issuance of any additional
Equity Interests; or  

(E)the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the Equity Interests of a
Pledged Entity; and 

(ii) (A) the Debtors shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and
receive for their own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the
Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness to the extent not in violation of the
Credit Agreement other than any and all: (x) dividends and interest paid or
payable other than in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral, and instruments
and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of,
or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; (y) dividends and other
distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Shares in
connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection
with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged
Entity; and (z) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of
principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral;
provided, however, that until actually paid all rights to such distributions
shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and 

(B)all dividends and interest (other than such cash dividends and interest as
are permitted to be paid to the Debtors in accordance with clause (A) above) and
all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Shares or Pledged
Indebtedness, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to Bank to hold as
Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Debtor, be received in trust
for the benefit of Bank, be segregated from the other property or funds of the
Debtors, and be forthwith delivered to Bank as Pledged Collateral in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 

(b)All Pledged Collateral and all other Investment Property (including all
securities, certificated or uncertificated, deposit accounts, securities
accounts and commodity accounts) of each Debtor on the date hereof is listed and
identified on Schedule E attached hereto and made a part hereof. All
certificates and all promissory notes and instruments evidencing the Pledged
Collateral shall be delivered to and held by Bank pursuant hereto.  All Pledged
Shares shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank
and all promissory notes or other instruments evidencing the Pledged
Indebtedness shall be  

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

13

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

endorsed by the Debtors.  The Debtors shall promptly notify Bank of any other
Investment Property acquired or maintained by the Debtors after the date hereof,
and shall submit to Bank a supplement to Schedule E to reflect such additional
rights (provided the applicable Debtor’s failure to do so shall not impair
Bank’s security interest therein).  Certificates for all certificated securities
now or at any time constituting Investment Property shall be promptly delivered
by the applicable Debtor to Bank duly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by an appropriate assignment or assignments or an appropriate
undated stock power or powers, in every case sufficient to transfer title
thereto including, without limitation, all stock received in respect of a stock
dividend or resulting from a splitup, revision or reclassification of the
Investment Property or any part thereof or received in addition to, in
substitution of or in exchange for the Investment Property or any part thereof
as a result of a merger, consolidation or otherwise.  With respect to any
uncertificated securities or any Investment Property held by a securities
intermediary, commodity intermediary, or other financial intermediary of any
kind, unless Bank requests otherwise, the applicable Debtor shall execute and
deliver, and shall cause any such issuer or intermediary to execute and deliver,
an agreement among such Debtor, Bank, and such issuer or intermediary in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank which provides, among other
things, for the issuer’s or intermediary’s agreement that it shall comply with
entitlement orders, and apply any value distributed on account of any such
Investment Property, as directed by Bank without further consent by any Debtor.
Bank may at any time, upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
cause to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees all
or any part of the Investment Property hereunder.  

(c)Unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of any Investment
Property, provided that the Debtors shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any
capital stock of or other equity interests in any direct or indirect subsidiary
without the prior written consent of Bank. After the occurrence and during the
continuing of any Default or Event of Default or of any event or condition which
with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, no Debtor shall sell all or any part of the Investment
Property without the prior written consent of Bank. 

(d)Each Debtor represents and warrants that: 

(i)All of the Pledged Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are
fully paid and non assessable and the Pledged Indebtedness has been duly
authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered by, and is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of, the applicable Pledged Entity, and no such Pledged
Entity is in default thereunder; 

(ii)None of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Indebtedness have been issued or
transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure
or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be
subject and none of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Indebtedness are subject to
any restrictions or limitations on the sale or divestiture thereof; 

(iii)All of the Pledged Shares are presently owned by the Debtors, and are
presently represented by the certificates listed on Part A of Schedule E hereto
in the amounts and percentages set forth thereon.  As of the date hereof, there
are no existing options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to the Pledged Shares; 

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

14

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

(iv)On the date of this Agreement, none of the Investment Property consists of
margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System) except to the extent such Debtor has delivered to
Bank a duly executed and completed Form U1 with respect to such stock.  If at
any time the Investment Property or any part thereof consists of margin stock,
the applicable Debtor shall promptly so notify Bank and deliver to Bank a duly
executed and completed Form U1 and such other instruments and documents
reasonably requested by Bank in form and substance satisfactory to Bank; 

(v)The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Collateral (together with
duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and appropriate
endorsements) pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid first priority Lien
on and a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in the
Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Secured
Obligations, subject to no other Lien; 

(vi)The Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity
Interests of each Pledged Entity; and 

(vii)Except as disclosed on Part B of Schedule E, none of the Pledged
Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to other Indebtedness for
Borrowed Money (except for the Secured Obligations) or subject to the terms of
an indenture. 

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any
Investment Property is subject to the terms of a separate security agreement in
favor of Bank, the terms of such separate security agreement shall govern and
control unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Bank. 

(f)All Deposit Accounts of each Debtor on the date hereof are listed and
identified (by account number and depository institution) on Schedule E attached
hereto and made a part hereof. The Debtors shall not open or maintain any other
Deposit Account with any depository institution other than Bank, without the
prior written consent of Bank or as permitted under Section 6.12(d) of the
Credit Agreement.  If Bank consents to the establishment and maintenance of any
Deposit Account maintained by a depository institution other than Bank (other
than deposit accounts permitted under Section 6.12(d) of the Credit Agreement),
the applicable Debtor, the depository institution, and Bank shall execute and
deliver an account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank
which provides, among other things, for the depository institution’s agreement
that it will comply with instructions originated by Bank directing the
disposition of the funds in the Deposit Account without further consent by such
Debtor. 

(g)Each Debtor will, upon obtaining ownership of any additional Equity Interests
or promissory notes or instruments of a Pledged Entity or Equity Interests or
promissory notes or instruments otherwise required to be pledged to Bank
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, which Equity Interests, notes or
instruments are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event
within 5 Business Days) deliver to Bank a supplement to this Agreement in the
form attached hereto as Schedule H, or in such other form acceptable to Bank, in
respect of any such additional Equity Interests, notes or instruments, pursuant
to which any Debtor shall pledge to Bank all of such additional Equity
Interests, notes and instruments.  Each Debtor hereby agrees that all Pledged
Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on any such supplement delivered to Bank
shall be considered Pledged Collateral for all purposes hereunder.

Section 9.Power of Attorney; Proxy.   

(a)In addition to any other powers of attorney contained herein, each Debtor
hereby appoints Bank, its nominee, and any other person whom Bank may designate,
as such Debtor’s attorneyinfact, with full power and authority while any Event
of Default exists and is continuing: (a) to sign such Debtor’s name on
verifications of Receivables and other Collateral; (b) to send requests for
verification of Collateral to such Debtor’s customers, account debtors and other
obligors; (c) to endorse such Debtor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances,
money orders, drafts and any other forms of payment or security that may come
into Bank’s possession or on any assignments, stock powers, or other instruments
of transfer relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (d) to sign such
Debtor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Collateral, on
claims to enforce collection of any Collateral, on notices to and drafts against
customers and account debtors and other obligors, on schedules and assignments
of Collateral, on notices of assignment and on public records; (e) to notify the
post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Debtor’s mail
to an address designated by Bank; (f) to receive, open and dispose of all mail
addressed to such Debtor; and (g) to do all things necessary to carry out this
Agreement.  Each Debtor hereby ratifies and approves all acts of any such
attorney and agrees that neither Bank nor any such attorney will be liable for
any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law
other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Bank may file
one or more financing statements disclosing its security interest in any or all
of the Collateral without any Debtor’s signature appearing thereon.  Each Debtor
also hereby grants Bank a continuing power of attorney to execute any such
financing statements, or amendments and supplements to financing statements, on
behalf of such Debtor without notice thereof to such Debtor.  The foregoing
powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the
Obligations have been paid in full, in cash and satisfied and all agreements of
Bank to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower have expired or
otherwise have been terminated. 

(b)EACH DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS BANK AS THE PROXY AND
ATTORNEY IN FACT OF SUCH DEBTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL,
INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION
TO DO SO, IN EACH CASE, ON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS HEREIN.  THE
APPOINTMENT OF BANK AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST
AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE.  IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT
TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF BANK AS PROXY AND
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS,
PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD BE
ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS,
CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH
PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION
(INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER
THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY
OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), SO LONG AS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS
CONTINUING, AND BANK SHALL NOT EXERCISE ANY PROXY OR RIGHTS AS ATTORNEY IN FACT
UNLESS SUCH AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING.  NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, BANK SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO
PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT

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

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

BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

Section 10.Defaults and Remedies. 

(a)The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement shall
constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder. 

(b)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Bank
shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the
UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted and
regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further
Bank may, without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process
of law, all of which each Debtor hereby waives, at any time or times, sell and
deliver all or any part of the Collateral (and any other property of any Debtor
attached thereto or found therein) held by or for it at public or private sale,
for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Bank
deems advisable, in its sole discretion.  In addition to all other sums due Bank
hereunder, the Debtors, jointly and severally, shall pay Bank all costs and
expenses incurred by Bank, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, in
obtaining, liquidating or enforcing payment of Collateral or the Obligations or
in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against Bank or
any Debtor concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement
or the Collateral or the Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the
foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the Bankruptcy
Code (or any successor statute).  Any requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
Debtors in accordance with Section 13(b) hereof at least 10 days before the time
of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice; provided
however, no notification need be given to the Debtors if the Debtors have
signed, after an Event of Default has occurred, a statement renouncing any right
to notification of sale or other intended disposition.  Bank shall not be
obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of
notice having been given.  Bank may be the purchaser at any such sale.  Each
Debtor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption from any such sale.  Bank
may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale was
postponed or Bank may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such
time and place.  Bank has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale.
 Bank may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any
warranties as to the Collateral or any part thereof, including disclaimers of
any warranties of title or the like, and each Debtor acknowledges and agrees
that the absence of such warranties shall not render the disposition
commercially unreasonable. 

(c)If, at any time when Bank shall determine to exercise its right to sell the
whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral
or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be
effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any
similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”) Bank may, in its discretion (subject
only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part
thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Bank may
deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this
Section 10, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause
the same to be effected.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in
any such event, Bank in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable
securities laws, proceed to make such private sale  

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

17

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering
such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under
said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single
possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a
purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and
agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and
not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof.  In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section
10, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the
public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of
any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 10, then Bank shall not be required
to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its
discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that
any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to
restrictions:

(i)as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid
or purchase at any such sale; 

(ii)as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing
the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future
transfer thereof;  

(iii)as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or
purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial
information about the Debtors and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of
the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a
view to the distribution thereof; and  

(iv)as to such other matters as Bank may, in its discretion, deem necessary or
appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register)
may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state
securities laws. 

Each Debtor recognizes that Bank may be unable to effect a public sale of any or
all of the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof in accordance with this clause (c).  Each Debtor also
acknowledges 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 not
be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by
virtue of such sale being private.  Bank shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit
the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or
under applicable state securities laws, even if any Debtor and the Pledged
Entity would agree to do so.

(d)Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists and
is continuing, Bank shall have the right, in addition to all other rights
provided herein or by law, to take physical possession of any and all of the
Collateral and anything found therein, the right for that purpose to enter
without legal process any premises where the Collateral may be found (provided
such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on any
Debtor’s premises (each Debtor hereby agreeing to lease such premises without
cost or expense to Bank or its designee if Bank so requests) or to remove the
Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as Bank may desire.  While
an Event of Default exists and is continuing, Bank shall have the right to
exercise any and all rights with respect to all Deposit Accounts of any Debtor,
including, without limitation, the right to direct the disposition of the  

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

18

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

funds in each Deposit Account and to collect, withdraw and receive all amounts
due or to become due or payable under each such Deposit Account.  While an Event
of Default exists and is continuing, each Debtor shall, upon Bank’s demand,
promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place
designated by Bank.  If Bank exercises its right to take possession of the
Collateral, the Debtors shall also at their expense perform any and all other
steps requested by Bank to preserve and protect the security interest hereby
granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the
security interest of Bank, appointing overseers for the Collateral and
maintaining Collateral records.

(e)Without in any way limiting the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists
and is continuing, all rights of any Debtor to exercise the voting and/or
consensual powers which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i)
hereof and/or to receive and retain the distributions which it is entitled to
receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof, shall, at the option of
Bank, cease and thereupon become vested in Bank, which, in addition to all other
rights provided herein or by law, shall then be entitled solely and exclusively
to exercise all voting and other consensual powers pertaining to the Investment
Property (including, without limitation, the right to deliver notice of control
with respect to any Investment Property held in a securities account or
commodity account and deliver all entitlement orders with respect thereto)
and/or to receive and retain the distributions which any Debtor would otherwise
have been authorized to retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof and shall
then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise any and all rights of
conversion, exchange or subscription or any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any Investment Property as if Bank were the absolute owner
thereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to exchange,
at its discretion, any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the
respective issuer thereof or upon the exercise by or on behalf of any such
issuer or Bank of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Investment
Property and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the
Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or
other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Bank may determine.
 In the event Bank in good faith believes any of the Collateral constitutes
restricted securities within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, any
disposition thereof in compliance with such laws shall not render the
disposition commercially unreasonable. 

(f)Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Debtor hereby grants to Bank
a royaltyfree irrevocable license and right to use all of such Debtor’s patents,
patent applications, patent licenses, trademarks, trademark registrations,
trademark licenses, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, copyright
applications, copyright licenses, and similar intangibles in connection with any
foreclosure or other realization by Bank on all or any part of the Collateral.
 The license and right granted Bank hereby shall be without any royalty or fee
or charge whatsoever. 

(g)The powers conferred upon Bank hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose on it any duty to exercise such powers.
 Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which Bank accords its
own property, consisting of similar type assets, it being understood, however,
that Bank shall have no responsibility for ascertaining or taking any action
with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relating to any such Collateral, whether or not Bank has or is deemed to
have knowledge of such matters.  This Agreement constitutes an assignment of
rights only and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of any Debtor in
any way related to the Collateral, and Bank shall  

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

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

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

have no duty or obligation to discharge any such duty or obligation.  Bank shall
have no responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against
any parties with respect to any Collateral or initiating any action to protect
the Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value.  Neither
Bank nor any party acting as attorney for Bank shall be liable for any acts or
omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than
their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h)Failure by Bank to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement
or any other agreement between any Debtor and Bank or provided by law, or delay
by Bank in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver; and no waiver by
Bank shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent
specifically stated.  The rights and remedies of Bank under this Agreement shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Bank may
have.  

Section 11.Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds and avails of the Collateral
at any time received by Bank after the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default shall, when received by Bank in cash or its equivalent, be
applied by Bank as follows: 

(a)first, to the payment and satisfaction of all sums paid and costs and
expenses incurred by Bank hereunder or otherwise in connection herewith,
including such monies paid or incurred in connection with protecting, preserving
or realizing upon the Collateral or enforcing any of the terms hereof, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, together with any interest thereon
(but without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest
over principal), to the extent Bank is not reimbursed therefor by the Debtors;
and 

(b)second, to the payment and satisfaction of the remaining Obligations, whether
or not then due (in whatever order Bank elects), both for interest and
principal. 

The Debtors shall remain, jointly and severally, liable to Bank for any
deficiency.  Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of
the foregoing shall be returned to the Debtors or to whomsoever Bank reasonably
determines is lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 12.Continuing Agreement.  This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement
in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the
Obligations, both for principal and interest, have been paid in full, in cash
and satisfied and all agreements of Bank to extend credit to or for the account
of the Debtors have expired or otherwise have been terminated.  Upon such
termination of this Agreement, Bank shall, upon the request and at the expense
of the Debtors, forthwith release its security interest hereunder. 

Section 13.Miscellaneous. 

(a)This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally.  All of the rights,
privileges, remedies and options given to Bank hereunder shall inure to the
benefit of its successors and assigns, and all the terms, conditions, covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties of and in this Agreement shall bind
each Debtor and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, provided that
no Debtor may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without Bank’s
prior written consent. 

(b)Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be in
writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given
to the relevant party at its address or telecopier  

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

20

726830840.4 18564250

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

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

number set forth below, or such other address or telecopier number as such party
may hereafter specify by notice to the other given by courier, by United States
certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device
capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.  Notices to
any Debtor hereunder shall be given to such Debtor, care of the Borrower, at the
address of the Borrower and in the manner set forth in Section 9.5 of the Credit
Agreement.  Notices to Bank shall be given to Bank at the address of Bank and in
the manner set forth in Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(c)The lien and security interest herein created and provided for stand as
direct and primary security from the Guarantors for the Obligations.  No
application of any sums received by Bank in respect of the Collateral or any
disposition thereof to the reduction of the Obligations or any part thereof
shall in any manner entitle any Guarantor to any right, title or interest in or
to the Obligations or any collateral or security therefor, whether by
subrogation or otherwise, unless and until all Obligations have been paid in
full, in cash and satisfied and all agreements of Bank to extend credit to or
for the account of the Borrower have expired or otherwise have been terminated.
 Each Guarantor acknowledges that the lien and security interest hereby created
and provided for are absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be
affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Bank or any other
holder of any of the Obligations, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the lien and security interest hereof shall not be impaired by any
acceptance by Bank or any other holder of any of the Obligations of any other
security for or guarantors upon any of the Obligations or by any failure,
neglect or omission on the part of Bank or any other holder of any of the
Obligations to realize upon or protect any of the Obligations or any collateral
or security therefor.  The lien and security interest hereof shall not in any
manner be impaired or affected by (and Bank, without notice to anyone, is hereby
authorized to make from time to time) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise,
settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution,
exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any of the Obligations, or
of any collateral or security therefor, or of any guaranty thereof, or of any
instrument or agreement setting forth the terms and conditions pertaining to any
of the foregoing.  Bank may at its discretion at any time grant credit to the
Borrower without notice to the Guarantors in such amounts and on such terms as
Bank may elect (all of such to constitute additional Obligations) without in any
manner impairing the lien and security interest created and provided for herein.
 In order to realize hereon and to exercise the rights granted Bank hereunder
and under applicable law, there shall be no obligation on the part of Bank or
any other holder of any of the Obligations at any time to first resort for
payment to the Borrower or to any guaranty of the Obligations or any portion
thereof or to resort to any other collateral, security, property, liens or any
other rights or remedies whatsoever, and Bank shall have the right to enforce
this Agreement irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps seeking
resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending. 

(d)Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All
rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to
the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory
provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be
subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling
and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this
Agreement invalid or unenforceable. 

(e)This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action
(whether in

PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
