3.       AGENT'S AND LENDERS' RIGHTS:  LIMITATIONS ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' OBLIGATIONS

(a)      It is  expressly  agreed by each  Grantor  that,  anything  herein or in any other  Loan  Document  to the
                  contrary  notwithstanding,  each  Grantor  shall  remain  liable  under  each  of its  respective
                  Contractual  Obligations,  including all Licenses,  to observe and perform all the conditions and
                  obligations  to be observed and  performed by it  thereunder.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall
                  have any  obligation or liability  under any  Contractual  Obligation by reason of or arising out
                  of this  Agreement  or any other Loan  Document or the  granting  herein of a Lien thereon or the
                  receipt by Agent or any Lender of any payment  relating to any  Contractual  Obligation  pursuant
                  hereto.  Neither  Agent nor any Lender  shall be required or  obligated  in any manner to perform
                  or  fulfill  any  of  the  obligations  of any  Grantor  under  or  pursuant  to any  Contractual
                  Obligation,  or to make any payment,  or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the  sufficiency
                  of any  payment  received  by it or the  sufficiency  of any  performance  by any party under any
                  Contractual  Obligation,  or to present or file any  claims,  or to take any action to collect or
                  enforce any  performance  or the payment of any amounts  which may have been assigned to it or to
                  which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(b)      Agent may at any time  after an Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing  (or if any rights of
                  set-off  (other than set-offs  against an Account  arising under the Contract  giving rise to the
                  same Account) or contra  accounts may be asserted with respect to the  following),  without prior
                  notice to any Grantor,  notify each Grantor's  Account Debtors and all other Persons obligated on
                  any of the  Collateral  that Agent has a security  interest  therein,  and that payments shall be
                  made directly to Agent,  for itself and the benefit of Lenders.  Upon the request of Agent,  each
                  Grantor  shall so notify its  Account  Debtors and other  Persons  obligated  on the  Collateral.
                  Once any such  notice has been  given to any  Account  Debtor or other  Person  obligated  on the
                  Collateral,  none of the Grantors shall give any contrary  instructions to such Account Debtor or
                  other Person without Agent's prior written consent.

(c)      Agent  may at any  time in  Agent's  own  name,  in the name of a  nominee  of Agent or in the name of any
                  Grantor communicate (by mail,  telephone,  facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors,  parties
                  to  Contractual  Obligations  and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons,
                  to Agent's  satisfaction,  the  existence,  amount,  terms of, and any other matter  relating to,
                  Accounts,  Instruments,  Chattel Paper and/or payment  intangibles.  If an Event of Default shall
                  have occurred and be continuing,  each Grantor,  at its own expense,  shall cause the independent
                  certified  public  accountants  then  engaged by such Grantor to prepare and deliver to Agent and
                  each  Lender  at any time and from time to time  promptly  upon  Agent's  request  the  following
                  reports with respect to such Grantor:  (i) a  reconciliation  of all  Accounts;  (ii) an aging of
                  all Accounts;  (iii) trial balances;  and (iv) a test  verification of such Accounts as Agent may
                  request.  Each Grantor,  at its own expense,  shall deliver to Agent the results of each physical
                  verification,  if any,  which such Grantor may in its  discretion  have made, or caused any other
                  Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.

4.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Each Grantor, jointly and severally, represents and warrants that:

(a)      Each Grantor has rights in and the power to transfer  each item of the  Collateral  upon which it purports
                  to grant a Lien hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.

(b)      No  effective  security  agreement,  financing  statement,  equivalent  security  or  Lien  instrument  or
                  continuation  statement  covering  all or any part of the  Collateral  is on file or of record in
                  any  public  office,  except  such as may have been  filed (i) by any  Grantor  in favor of Agent
                  pursuant  to this  Agreement  or the other  Loan  Documents,  (ii) in  connection  with any other
                  Permitted  Encumbrances  and (iii) by any Grantor in favor of the Senior Notes  Trustee on behalf
                  of itself and the holders of the Senior Notes in  accordance  with the  intercreditor  provisions
                  of the Senior Notes Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)      This  Agreement  is  effective  to  create a valid  and  continuing  Lien on and,  upon the  filing of the

                  entering into of three-party  control  agreements,  as  applicable,  a perfected Lien in favor of
                  Agent,  for itself and the benefit of Lenders,  on the  Collateral  with  respect to which a Lien
                  may be perfected by filing  pursuant to the Code.  Such Lien is prior to all other Liens,  except
                  (i)  Permitted  Encumbrances  that  would be prior to Liens in favor of Agent for the  benefit of
                  Agent and  Lenders  as a matter  of law and (ii) to the  extent  that the  security  interest  in
                  Collateral has been  subordinated to the prior Lien of the Trustee First Lien Collateral,  and is
                  enforceable  as such as against any and all creditors of and  purchasers  from any Grantor (other
                  than  purchasers  and lessees of Inventory in the ordinary  course of business and  non-exclusive
                  licensees of General  Intangibles  in the  ordinary  course of  business).  All action by each of

                  Collateral has been duly taken.

(d)      Schedule  II  hereto  lists  all  Instruments,  Documents,  Letter  of Credit  Rights  and  Chattel  Paper
                  (including  any  Intercompany  Notes) of each Grantor.  All actions by each Grantor  necessary or
                  desirable  to  protect  and  perfect  the Lien of Agent on each  item set  forth on  Schedule  II
                  (including  the  delivery  of all  originals  thereof to Agent and the  legending  of all Chattel
                  Paper as required  by Section  5(b)  hereof)  have been duly  taken.  The Lien of Agent,  for the
                  benefit of Agent and  Lenders,  on the  Collateral  listed on  Schedule II hereto is prior to all
                  other  Liens,  except  (i)  Permitted  Encumbrances  that would be prior to the Liens in favor of
                  Agent as a matter of law and (ii) to the extent  that the  security  interest in  Collateral  has
                  been  subordinated to the prior Lien of the Trustee First Lien Collateral,  and is enforceable as
                  such against any and all creditors of and purchasers from each Grantor.

(e)      Each  Grantor's  name as it  appears  in  official  filings  in the  state of its  incorporation  or other
                  organization,  all prior names of each  Grantor,  as they  appeared from time to time in official
                  filings  in the  state of its  incorporation  or other  organization,  the type of entity of each
                  Grantor (including corporation,  partnership,  limited partnership or limited liability company),
                  organizational  identification  number  issued  by  each  Grantor's  state  of  incorporation  or
                  organization  or a  statement  that no such  number  has been  issued,  each  Grantor's  state of
                  organization or  incorporation,  the mailing  address of each Grantor as of the date hereof,  the

                  Grantor's books and records  concerning the Collateral are set forth on Schedule IIIA,  Schedule
                  IIIB and Schedule  IIIC,  respectively,  hereto.  Each Grantor is a registered  organization  and
                  has only one state of incorporation.

(f)      With respect to the Accounts (i) they  represent  bona fide sales of Inventory or rendering of services to
                  Account  Debtors in the ordinary  course of each  Grantor's  business and are not  evidenced by a
                  judgment,  Instrument  or Chattel  Paper;  (ii) except as disclosed to Agent or as to which there
                  would not be a Material  Adverse Effect,  there are no set-offs,  claims or disputes  existing or
                  asserted  with respect  thereto and none of the Grantors has made any  agreement  with any of its
                  Account Debtors for any extension of time for the payment  thereof,  any compromise or settlement
                  for less than the full amount  thereof,  any release of any of its Account Debtors from liability
                  therefor,  or any deduction  therefrom  except a discount or allowance  allowed by any Grantor in
                  the  ordinary  course of its business for prompt  payment and  disclosed to Agent;  (iii) to each
                  Grantor's  knowledge,  there are no facts,  events or  occurrences  which in any way  impair  the
                  validity or  enforceability  thereof or could reasonably be expected to reduce the amount payable
                  thereunder  to the  extent  that  there  would  be a  Material  Adverse  Effect  as shown on such
                  Grantor's books and records and any invoices,  statements or other  collateral  report  delivered
                  to Agent and Lenders with respect  thereto;  (iv) none of the Grantors has received any notice of
                  proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending  against any of its Account  Debtors which
                  might result in any adverse change in such Account Debtor's  financial  condition and which would
                  have a Material  Adverse  Effect on any of the  Grantors;  (v) none of the Grantors has knowledge
                  that any of its Account  Debtors is unable  generally to pay its debts as they become due,  which
                  inability  would result in a Material  Adverse Effect on Grantors;  and (vi) they  constitute the
                  legally valid and binding  obligation of the applicable  Account Debtors.  Further,  with respect
                  to the Accounts (x) the amounts shown on all invoices,  statements  or other  collateral  reports
                  which may be  delivered  to Agent with  respect  thereto are  actually  owing to such  Grantor as
                  indicated thereon and are not in any way contingent,  except for such  contingencies as may exist
                  under trade  custom and  practice;  (y) no  payments  have been or shall be made  thereon  except
                  payments  immediately  delivered to the applicable blocked accounts or Agent as required pursuant
                  to the terms of Annex C to the Credit  Agreement;  and (z) to each  Grantor's  knowledge,  all of

                  obtain,  to  the  extent  required  by the  Credit  Agreement,  bailee,  landlord  and  mortgagee
                  agreements,  (iii) each  Grantor has good,  indefeasible and merchantable  title to its Inventory
                  and such  Inventory  is not  subject to any Lien or  security  interest  or  document  whatsoever
                  except  for the Lien  granted to Agent,  for the  benefit  of Agent and  Lenders,  and except for
                  Permitted  Encumbrances,  (iv) except as  specifically  disclosed to Agent,  such Inventory is of
                  good and merchantable  quality,  free from any defects,  (v) such Inventory is not subject to any
                  licensing,  patent,  royalty,  trademark,  trade  name or  copyright  agreements  with any  third

                           particular  asset  comprised  in the  Collateral  falls within the scope of Article 9 of
                           the Code or such  jurisdiction,  or (ii) as being  of an equal or  lesser  scope or with
                           greater detail,  and (b) contain any other  information  required by part 5 of Article 9

                  evidence this Agreement and the Liens granted hereby.  If any Grantor  retains  possession of any
                  Chattel Paper or Instruments  (including  Intercompany Notes) with Agent's consent,  such Chattel

                           same.

                           file an  application  for the  registration  of any Patent,  Trademark or Copyright with
                           the United States Patent and Trademark  Office,  the United States  Copyright  Office or
                           any similar office or agency without  giving Agent prior written  notice  thereof,  and,

                           registration  of  each of the  Patents,  Trademarks  and  Copyrights  (now or  hereafter
                           existing),  including  the  filing  of  applications  for  renewal,  affidavits  of use,

                           Copyright is not material to the conduct of its business.

(iv)     In  the  event  that  any  of the  Patent,  Trademark  or  Copyright  Collateral  is  infringed  upon,  or
                           misappropriated  or diluted by a third  party,  each  Grantor  shall comply with Section
                           5(a)(ix) of this Agreement.  Such Grantor shall,  unless it shall  reasonably  determine

                           Collateral  is in no  way  material  to  the  conduct  of its  business  or  operations,

                           damages for such infringement,  misappropriation or dilution,  and shall take such other
                           actions  as Agent  shall  deem  appropriate  under the  circumstances  to  protect  such
                           Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral.

                  respect thereto,  such Grantor will save,  indemnify and keep Agent and Lenders harmless from and
                  against  all  expense  (including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  expenses),  loss or  damage
                  suffered by reason of any defense,  set-off,  counterclaim,  recoupment or reduction of liability
                  whatsoever of its Account Debtors or other Person  obligated on the Collateral,  arising out of a
                  breach by such  Grantor  of any  obligation  thereunder  or arising  out of any other  agreement,
                  indebtedness  or liability  at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its  successors
                  from such Grantor,  except in the case of Agent or any Lender, to the extent such expense,  loss,
                  or damage is attributable  solely to the gross negligence or willful  misconduct of Agent or such
                  Lender as finally determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction.  All such obligations of each
                  Grantor  shall be and remain  enforceable  against and only against such Grantor and shall not be
                  enforceable against Agent or any Lender.

                  on any of the Collateral  except  Permitted  Encumbrances,  and will defend the right,  title and
                  interest  of Agent and  Lenders  in and to any of such  Grantor's  rights  under  the  Collateral
                  against  the  claims  and  demands of all  Persons  whomsoever,  except  claims  pursuant  to the
                  Permitted Encumbrances.

                  property  that is of a type  where a  security  interest  or Lien  must be or may be  registered,
                  recorded or filed under,  or notice  thereof given under,  any federal  statute or regulation and

(k)      No  Reincorporation.  Without limiting the  prohibitions on mergers  involving any Grantor as contained in
                  the Credit  Agreement,  none of the Grantors shall  reincorporate or reorganize  itself under the
                  laws of any  jurisdiction  other than the  jurisdiction  in which it is incorporated or organized

         balance  of  $25,000,  without  entering  into a Bank  Agency and  Control  Agreement.  No  Grantor  shall
         establish any Deposit Account with any financial  institution  unless prior thereto Agent and such Grantor
         shall have  entered into a Bank Agency and Control  Agreement  satisfactory  to Agent with such  financial
         institution.

         To the extent requested by the Agent, each Grantor shall establish a lockbox account  ("Lockbox  Account")
         and blocked  accounts  (collectively,  "Blocked  Accounts") in  such Grantor's name with such banks as are
         reasonably  acceptable  to Agent  ("Collecting  Banks"),  subject to a Bank Agency and  Control  Agreement
         pursuant to which all Account  Debtors  shall  directly  remit all  payments on Accounts and in which each
         Grantor will immediately  deposit all cash payments  constituting  proceeds of Collateral in the identical
         form in which such  payment was made,  whether by cash or check.  In addition,  Agent,  for the benefit of
         Agent  and  Lenders,  may  establish  one or more  depository  accounts  at each  Collecting  Bank or at a
         centrally  located bank in the name of Agent or any one or more  Grantors as customer  (collectively,  the
         "Concentration  Accounts").  From and after receipt by any Collecting Bank of written notice from Agent to
         such  Collecting  Bank that an Event of Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  all  amounts  held or
         deposited from time to time in the Blocked  Accounts held by such  Collecting Bank shall be transferred on
         a daily  basis to Agent  (as  Agent may  direct) or  any of the  Concentration  Accounts;  provided,  that
         whether or not an Event of Default is  continuing  all accounts  credited to the Lockbox  Account shall be
         transferred  to Agent's  account on a daily basis.  Subject to the  foregoing,  each Grantor hereby agrees
         that all  payments  received by Agent or any Lender  whether by cash,  check,  wire  transfer or any other
         instrument,  made to such  Blocked  Accounts,  Lockbox  Account or  Concentration  Accounts  or  otherwise
         received  by Agent or any Lender  and  whether on the  Accounts  or as  proceeds  of other  Collateral  or
         otherwise will be the sole and exclusive  property of Lenders.  Each Grantor,  and any of its  Affiliates,
         employees,  agents and other Persons acting for or in concert with such Grantor  shall,  acting as trustee
         for Agent and  Lenders,  receive,  as the sole and  exclusive  property  of Lenders,  any moneys,  checks,
         notes, drafts or other payments relating to and/or  constituting  proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral
         which come into the possession or under the control of such Grantor or any Affiliates,  employees,  agent,
         or other Persons acting for or in concert with such Grantor,  and immediately upon receipt  thereof,  such
         Grantor or such Persons  shall  deposit the same or cause the same to be  deposited in kind,  in a Blocked
         Account or other account subject to a Bank Agency and Control Agreement.

         If at any time a  Collecting  Bank is  obligated  to  transfer to Agent or any  Concentration  Account all
         amounts held or deposited in the Blocked  Accounts held by such Collecting  Bank, no Grantor shall, and no
         Grantor  shall permit any  Subsidiary  to,  accumulate  or maintain  cash in any  disbursement  or payroll
         account,  as of any date,  in an amount in excess of checks  outstanding  against  such account as of such
         date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements.

         Each  Grantor  shall  close each of its deposit  accounts  (and  promptly  establish  replacement  deposit
         accounts  with a financial  institution  which has executed,  or is willing to execute,  a Bank Agency and
         Control  Agreement) maintained  with any financial institution which is the subject of a notice from Agent
         that the  creditworthiness of such financial  institution or any of its affiliates is no longer acceptable
         to Agent,  or that the operating  performance,  funds transfer or  availability  procedures or performance
         with  respect  to any Bank  Agency  and  Control  Agreement  of such  financial  institution  is no longer
         acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment.

7.       AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

         On the Closing Date each Grantor  shall  execute and deliver to Agent a power of attorney  (the "Power of
         Attorney")  substantially  in the form  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  A. The  power of  attorney  granted
         pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be  irrevocable  until the
         Termination  Date. The powers  conferred on Agent,  for the benefit of Agent and Lenders,  under the Power
         of  Attorney  are solely to protect  Agent's  interests  (for the  benefit  of Agent and  Lenders)  in the
         Collateral  and shall not  impose any duty upon Agent or any Lender to  exercise  any such  powers.  Agent
         agrees  that (a)  except  for the powers  granted  in clause  (h) of the Power of  Attorney,  it shall not
         exercise  any power or  authority  granted  under the Power of  Attorney  unless an Event of  Default  has
         occurred and is  continuing,  and (b) Agent shall  account for any moneys  received by Agent in respect of
         any  foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral  pursuant to the Power of Attorney  provided that none of
         Agent  nor any  Lender  shall  have  any  duty as to any  Collateral,  and  Agent  and  Lenders  shall  be
         accountable  only for amounts they  actually  receive as a result of the exercise of such powers.  NONE OF
         AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES,  OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,  EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES
         SHALL BE  RESPONSIBLE  TO ANY  GRANTOR  FOR ANY ACT OR  FAILURE  TO ACT  UNDER ANY  POWER OF  ATTORNEY  OR
         OTHERWISE,  EXCEPT IN RESPECT  OF DAMAGES  ATTRIBUTABLE  SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS  NEGLIGENCE  OR WILLFUL
         MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT  JURISDICTION,  NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,  EXEMPLARY,
         INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

8.       REMEDIES:  RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT

(a)      In addition to all other rights and remedies  granted to it under this  Agreement,  the Credit  Agreement,
                  the other Loan  Documents  and under any other  instrument or agreement  securing,  evidencing or
                  relating  to any of the  Obligations,  if  any  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
                  continuing,  Agent may  exercise  all  rights and  remedies  of a secured  party  under the Code.
                  Without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  each Grantor  expressly  agrees that in any
                  such event Agent,  without demand of performance or other demand,  advertisement or notice of any
                  kind (except the notice  specified  below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
                  any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which  demands,  advertisements  and notices are
                  hereby  expressly  waived to the maximum extent  permitted by the Code and other applicable law),
                  may forthwith  (personally  or through its agents) enter upon the premises  where any  Collateral
                  is  located  through  self-help,  without  judicial  process,  without  first  obtaining  a final
                  judgment  or giving any  Grantor or any other  Person  notice  and  opportunity  for a hearing on
                  Agent's  claim or  action  and may take  possession  of,  collect,  receive,  assemble,  process,
                  appropriate,  remove and realize upon the  Collateral,  or any part  thereof,  and may  forthwith
                  sell,  lease,  license,  assign,  give an option or options  to  purchase,  or sell or  otherwise
                  dispose of and deliver said  Collateral  (or contract to do so), or any part  thereof,  in one or
                  more  parcels at a public or private  sale or sales,  at any  exchange  at such  prices as it may
                  deem acceptable,  for cash or on credit or for future delivery  without  assumption of any credit
                  risk.  Agent or any Lender  shall have the right upon any such  public  sale or sales and, to the
                  extent  permitted by law,  upon any such  private  sale or sales,  to purchase for the benefit of
                  Agent  and  Lenders,  the  whole or any part of said  Collateral  so sold,  free of any  right or
                  equity of redemption,  which equity of redemption  each Grantor hereby  releases.  Such sales may
                  be  adjourned  and  continued  from time to time with or  without  notice.  Agent  shall have the
                  right to conduct such sales on each  Grantor's  premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to
                  use each Grantor's  premises  without  charge for such time or times as Agent deems  necessary or
                  advisable.

                  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  each Grantor further  agrees,  at
                  Agent's  request,  to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place or places
                  designated by Agent which are  reasonably  convenient to Agent and such Grantor,  whether at such
                  Grantor's  premises or  elsewhere.  Without  limiting  the  foregoing,  Agent shall also have the
                  right to require  that each  Grantor  store and keep any  Collateral  pending  further  action by
                  Agent,  and while Collateral is so stored or kept,  provide such guards and maintenance  services
                  as shall be  necessary  to protect  the same and to  preserve  and  maintain  Collateral  in good
                  condition.  Until  Agent is able to  effect  a sale,  lease,  license  or  other  disposition  of
                  Collateral,  Agent shall have the right to hold or use  Collateral,  or any part thereof,  to the
                  extent that it deems  appropriate  for the purpose of  preserving  Collateral or its value or for
                  any other  purpose  deemed  appropriate  by Agent.  Agent  shall not have any  obligation  to any
                  Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against  third  parties with respect
                  to Collateral  while Collateral is in the possession of Agent.  Agent may, if it so elects,  seek
                  the  appointment  of a receiver or keeper to take  possession of Collateral and to enforce any of
                  Agent's  remedies  (for the  benefit of Agent and  Lenders),  with  respect  to such  appointment
                  without  prior  notice or hearing as to such  appointment.  Agent shall apply the net proceeds of
                  any such collection,  recovery,  receipt,  appropriation,  realization or sale to the Obligations
                  as provided in the Credit Agreement,  and only after so paying over such net proceeds,  and after
                  the payment by Agent of any other amount  required by any  provision of law,  need Agent  account
                  for the surplus,  if any, to any Grantor.  To the maximum  extent  permitted by  applicable  law,
                  each Grantor waives all claims,  damages,  and demands against Agent or any Lender arising out of
                  the  repossession,  retention  or sale of the  Collateral  except such as arise solely out of the
                  gross negligence or willful  misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally  determined by a court
                  of competent  jurisdiction.  Each Grantor  agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Agent of the
                  time and place of any  public  sale or of the time after  which a private  sale may take place is
                  reasonable  notification of such matters.  Notwithstanding  any such notice of sale,  Agent shall
                  not be obligated to make any sale of  Collateral.  In connection  with any sale,  lease,  license
                  or other  disposition  of  Collateral,  Agent may  disclaim  any  warranties  that might arise in
                  connection  therewith  and Agent  shall have no  obligation  to provide  any  warranties  at such
                  time.  Each  Grantor  shall  remain  liable for any  deficiency  if the  proceeds  of any sale or
                  disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all  Obligations,  including any attorneys'
                  fees or other expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

(b)      Except as  otherwise  specifically  provided  herein,  each Grantor  hereby  waives  presentment,  demand,
                  protest  or any  notice  (to the  maximum  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law) of any kind in
                  connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

(c)      To the  extent  that  applicable  law  imposes  duties on Agent to  exercise  remedies  in a  commercially
                  reasonable   manner,   each  Grantor   acknowledges  and  agrees  that  it  is  not  commercially
                  unreasonable for Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses  reasonably  deemed  significant by Agent to
                  prepare  Collateral  for  disposition  or  otherwise  to complete raw material or work in process
                  into finished goods or other  finished  products for  disposition,  (ii) if not required by other
                  law, to fail to obtain  governmental  or third party  consents for the  collection or disposition
                  of  Collateral  to be collected or disposed  of,  (iii) to fail to exercise  collection  remedies
                  against  Account  Debtors or other  Persons  obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any
                  adverse claims against  Collateral,  (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors
                  and other  Persons  obligated on Collateral  directly or through the use of  collection  agencies
                  and  other  collection   specialists,   (v)  to  advertise  dispositions  of  Collateral  through
                  publications or media of general  circulation,  whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
                  nature,  (vi) to contact other Persons,  whether or not in the same business as any Grantor,  for
                  expressions  of interest in acquiring  all or any portion of such  Collateral,  (vii) to hire one
                  or more professional  auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,  whether or not the
                  Collateral is of a  specialized  nature,  (viii) to dispose of  Collateral by utilizing  internet
                  sites that  provide for the auction of assets of the types  included  in the  Collateral  or that
                  have the  reasonable  capacity of doing so, or that match  buyers and sellers of assets,  (ix) to
                  dispose  of  assets  in  wholesale  rather  than  retail  markets,  (x) to  disclaim  disposition
                  warranties,  such as title,  possession or quiet enjoyment,  (xi) to purchase insurance or credit
                  enhancements  to insure Agent against risks of loss,  collection or  disposition of Collateral or
                  to provide to Agent a guaranteed  return from the collection or  disposition  of  Collateral,  or
                  (xii) to the extent  deemed  appropriate  by Agent,  to obtain  the  services  of other  brokers,
                  investment  bankers,  consultants  and other  professionals  to assist Agent in the collection or
                  disposition  of any of the  Collateral.  Each  Grantor  acknowledges  that  the  purpose  of this
                  Section  8(c) is to provide  non-exhaustive  indications  of what  actions or  omissions by Agent
                  would be  commercially  reasonable in Agent's  exercise of remedies  against the  Collateral  and
                  that other  actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed  commercially  unreasonable  solely
                  on account of not being  indicated in this Section 8(c).  Without  limitation upon the foregoing,
                  nothing  contained  in this Section 8(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or
                  to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been  granted or imposed by this  Agreement  or
                  by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8(c).

(d)      Neither  Agent nor any Lender  shall be  required  to make any demand  upon,  or pursue or exhaust  any of
                  their rights or remedies  against,  any Grantor,  any other  obligor,  guarantor,  pledgor or any
                  other  Person  with  respect to the  payment of the  Obligations  or to pursue or exhaust  any of
                  their  rights or  remedies  with  respect to any  Collateral  therefor  or any direct or indirect
                  guarantee  thereof.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal the  Collateral or
                  any guarantee of the  Obligations  or to resort to the  Collateral  or any such  guarantee in any
                  particular  order,  and all of its and their rights  hereunder  or under any other Loan  Document
                  shall  be  cumulative.  To the  extent  it  may  lawfully  do so,  each  Grantor  absolutely  and
                  irrevocably  waives and  relinquishes  the benefit and  advantage of, and covenants not to assert
                  against  Agent or any  Lender,  any  valuation,  stay,  appraisement,  extension,  redemption  or
                  similar  laws  and any and all  rights  or  defenses  it may have as a  surety  now or  hereafter
                  existing which,  but for this  provision,  might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made
                  under  the  judgment,  order or  decree  of any  court,  or  privately  under  the  power of sale
                  conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

9.       GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL

         For the purpose of enabling  Agent to exercise  rights and remedies  under  Section 8  hereof  (including,
         without limiting the terms of Section 8 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold,  preserve,  process,
         assemble,  prepare for sale,  market for sale,  sell or otherwise  dispose of  Collateral) at such time as
         Agent shall be lawfully  entitled to exercise  such rights and  remedies,  each Grantor  hereby  grants to
         Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, an irrevocable,  nonexclusive  license  (exercisable  without
         payment of royalty or other  compensation to such Grantor) to use,  license or sublicense any Intellectual
         Property  now owned or hereafter  acquired by such  Grantor,  and  wherever  the same may be located,  and
         including  in such  license  access to all media in which any of the  licensed  items may be  recorded  or
         stored and to all computer  software  and programs  used for the  compilation  or printout  thereof and an
         irrevocable  license  (exercisable  without payment of rent or other  compensation to such Grantor) to use
         and occupy all real estate owned or leased by such Grantor;  provided,  however, that if and to the extent
         that the grant of  license  to Agent  would  result  in a  violation  of any  agreements  relating  to the
         Intellectual  Property or the real estate or cause any such agreement to be void or voidable,  the license
         granted  hereunder  shall be deemed  limited to only such license or rights as Grantors may be  authorized
         to give without consent under such agreements without breaching or voiding such agreements.

10.      LIMITATION ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL

         Agent and each Lender  shall use  reasonable  care with respect to the  Collateral  in its  possession  or
         under its  control.  Neither  Agent nor any Lender shall have any other duty as to any  Collateral  in its
         possession  or control or in the  possession  or control of any agent or nominee of Agent or such  Lender,
         or any income  thereon or as to the  preservation  of rights  against  prior  parties or any other  rights
         pertaining  thereto.  Agent  shall  not be  liable  or  responsible  for any loss or  damage to any of the
         Collateral,  or for  any  diminution  in the  value  thereof,  by  reason  of the act or  omission  of any
         warehousemen,  carrier,  forwarding  agency,  consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Agent in good
         faith.

11.      REINSTATEMENT

         This Agreement  shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective  should any petition be
         filed by or against any Grantor for  liquidation or  reorganization,  should any Grantor become  insolvent
         or make an  assignment  for the benefit of any  creditor or  creditors  or should a receiver or trustee be
         appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor's  assets,  and shall continue to be effective or
         be  reinstated,  as the case may be, if at any time payment and  performance  of the  Obligations,  or any
         part  thereof,  is,  pursuant to  applicable  law,  rescinded or reduced in amount,  or must  otherwise be
         restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations,  whether as a "voidable  preference,"  "fraudulent
         conveyance,"  or  otherwise,  all as though such payment or  performance  had not been made.  In the event
         that any payment,  or any part  thereof,  is rescinded,  reduced,  restored or returned,  the  Obligations
         shall be reinstated  and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,  reduced,  restored
         or returned.

12.      SURETYSHIP WAIVERS BY GRANTOR; OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE

(a)      Except as expressly provided herein,  each Grantor waives demand,  notice,  protest,  notice of acceptance
                  of this Agreement,  notice of loans made,  credit extended,  collateral  received or delivered or
                  other  action  taken in reliance  hereon and all other  demands  and  notices of any  description
                  thereof,  all in such manner and at such time or times as Agent may deem  advisable.  Agent shall
                  have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income  thereon,  nor as
                  to the  preservation  of rights against prior parties,  nor as to the  preservation of any rights
                  pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.

(b)      All rights of Agent  hereunder,  the Security  Interests  and all  obligations  of each Grantor  hereunder
                  shall be absolute and  unconditional  irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or  enforceability
                  of the Credit  Agreement,  any other Loan  Document,  any  agreement  with  respect to any of the
                  Obligations  or any other  agreement  or  instrument  relating to any of the  foregoing,  (b) any
                  change in the time,  manner or place of  payment  of, or in any other  term of, all or any of the

15.      SEVERABILITY

         The  invalidity,  illegality,  or  unenforceability  in any  jurisdiction  of any provision under the Loan
         Documents shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions in the Loan Documents.

16.      NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

         Neither Agent nor any Lender shall by any act,  delay,  omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any
         of its rights or remedies hereunder,  and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing,  signed by Agent and
         then only to the extent  therein  set  forth.  A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy  hereunder  on any
         one occasion  shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent would  otherwise have had
         on any future  occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in  exercising  on the part of Agent or any
         Lender, any right, power or privilege  hereunder,  shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
         or partial  exercise of any right,  power or privilege  hereunder  preclude  any other or future  exercise
         thereof or the  exercise  of any other  right,  power or  privilege.  The rights  and  remedies  hereunder
         provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or  concurrently,  and are not exclusive of any rights
         and remedies  provided by law. 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 Agent and each Grantor.

17.      LIMITATION BY LAW

         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  provision  of law,  and all the  provisions  of this
         Agreement  are  intended  to be  subject  to  all  applicable  mandatory  provisions  of law  that  may be
         controlling  and to be limited  to the extent  necessary  so that they  shall not  render  this  Agreement
         invalid,  unenforceable,  in whole or in part,  or not entitled to be recorded,  registered or filed under
         the provisions of any applicable law.

18.      TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

         Subject to Section 11 hereof,  this Agreement  shall terminate upon the  Termination  Date.  Following the
         termination of this agreement,  Agent shall, upon reasonable request,  and at the sole cost and expense of
         Grantors,  execute  such  termination  statements  and other  releases (in form and  substance  reasonably
         satisfactory to Agent) with respect to security granted  hereunder,  and Agent shall at such time transfer
         any  Instrument  or Chattel  Paper or other item of  Collateral  delivered  to the Agent  hereunder to the
         Grantors, without recourse and without representation of warranty.

19.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

         This  Agreement and all  obligations  of each Grantor  hereunder  shall be binding upon the successors and
         permitted  assigns of such Grantor  (including  any  debtor-in-possession  on behalf of such  Grantor) and
         shall,  together with the rights and remedies of Agent,  for the benefit of Agent and Lenders,  hereunder,
         inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders,  all future  holders of any  instrument  evidencing  any of the
         Obligations  and their  respective  successors  and permitted  assigns except that Grantors may not assign
         any of their rights or obligations  hereunder  without the written consent of all Lenders which assignment
         without such consent shall be void. No sales of  participations,  other sales,  assignments,  transfers or
         other  dispositions  of any agreement  governing or instrument  evidencing the  Obligations or any portion
         thereof or  interest  therein  shall in any manner  impair the Lien  granted to Agent,  for the benefit of
         Agent and Lenders, hereunder.

20.      COUNTERPARTS

         This  Agreement and any  amendments,  waivers,  consents or  supplements  may be executed in any number of
         counterparts  and by different  parties  hereto in separate  counterparts,  each of which when so executed
         and delivered shall be deemed an original,  but all of which  counterparts  together shall  constitute but

                  BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS.  EACH  GRANTOR  EXPRESSLY  SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO THE  JURISDICTION
                  OF THE  AFORESAID  COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON  CONVENIENS.  EACH  GRANTOR  HEREBY
                  WAIVES  PERSONAL  SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH  SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY
                  BE MADE UPON SUCH GRANTOR BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL,  RETURN RECEIPT  REQUESTED,  ADDRESSED

         ARISING OUT OF THIS  SECURITY  AGREEMENT  AND THE OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENTS.  EACH GRANTOR  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT
         THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS  RELATIONSHIP,  AND THAT AGENT HAS RELIED ON
         THE WAIVER IN ENTERING  INTO THIS  SECURITY  AGREEMENT  AND THE OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO
         RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR  RELATED  FUTURE  DEALINGS.  EACH GRANTOR  WARRANTS AND  REPRESENTS  THAT SUCH
         GRANTOR HAS HAD THE  OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING  THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL,  AND THAT SUCH GRANTOR
         KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

23.      HEADINGS

         Section and  subsection  headings  are included  herein for  convenience  of reference  only and shall not
         constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purposes or be given substantive effect.

                                                     EXHIBIT A

                                                 POWER OF ATTORNEY

         This Power of Attorney is executed  and  delivered  by each of  O'Sullivan  Industries,  Inc.,  O'Sullivan
Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc.,  O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia,  Inc. and O'Sullivan  Industries Holdings,  Inc.
(referred to herein  individually  as  "Grantor"  and  collectively  as  "Grantors")  to General  Electric  Capital
Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  (hereinafter  referred to as "Attorney"),  as Agent for the benefit of Agent
and Lenders,  under a Credit Agreement and a Security  Agreement,  both dated as of  September 29,  2003, and other
related  documents  (the "Loan  Documents").  No person to whom this Power of Attorney is  presented,  as authority
for  Attorney  to take any  action or actions  contemplated  hereby,  shall be  required  to  inquire  into or seek
confirmation  from any Grantor as to the  authority of Attorney to take any action  described  below,  or as to the
existence of or  fulfillment  of any  condition  to this Power of Attorney,  which is intended to grant to Attorney
unconditionally  the authority to take and perform the actions  contemplated  herein, and each Grantor  irrevocably
waives any right to  commence  any suit or action,  in law or equity,  against  any person or entity  which acts in
reliance upon or acknowledges  the authority  granted under this Power of Attorney.  The power of attorney  granted
hereby is coupled with an interest,  and may not be revoked or canceled by any Grantor without  Attorney's  written
consent.

         Each Grantor hereby irrevocably  constitutes and appoints Attorney (and all officers,  employees or agents
designated by Attorney),  with full power of substitution,  as such Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with
full  irrevocable  power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in
its own name, from time to time in Attorney's  discretion,  to take any and all  appropriate  action and to execute
and deliver any and all documents and  instruments  which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish  the purposes
of the Loan  Documents  upon the  occurrence  and during  the  continuance  of an Event of  Default as defined  and
described in the Loan Documents.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  each Grantor hereby grants to
Attorney the power and right,  on behalf of such Grantor,  without  notice to or assent by any Grantor,  and at any
time, to do the following  upon the occurrence  and during the  continuance of an Event of Default:  (a) change the
mailing  address of such  Grantor,  open a post office box on behalf of such  Grantor,  open mail for such Grantor,
and ask, demand,  collect,  give  acquittances and receipts for, take possession of, endorse any invoices,  freight
or  express  bills,  bills  of  lading,  storage  or  warehouse  receipts,  drafts  against  debtors,  assignments,
verifications,  and notices in connection  with any property of such  Grantor;  (b) effect any repairs to any asset
of such Grantor,  or continue or obtain any  insurance  and pay all or any part of the premiums  therefor and costs
thereof,  and make, settle and adjust all claims under such policies of insurance,  and make all determinations and
decisions  with respect to such  policies;  (c) pay or discharge any taxes,  liens,  security  interests,  or other
encumbrances  levied or placed on or threatened  against such Grantor or its property;  (d) defend any suit, action
or proceeding  brought  against such Grantor if such Grantor does not defend such suit,  action or proceeding or if
Attorney  believes  that such Grantor is not pursuing  such defense in a manner that will  maximize the recovery to
Attorney,  and settle,  compromise or adjust any suit,  action,  or proceeding  described  above and, in connection
therewith,  give such  discharges  or releases as Attorney may deem  appropriate;  (e) file or prosecute any claim,
litigation,  suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any arbitrator,  or take any other
action otherwise  deemed  appropriate by Attorney for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due to such
Grantor  whenever  payable  and to enforce  any other right in respect of such  Grantor's  property;  (f) cause the
certified  public  accountants then engaged by such Grantor to prepare and deliver to Attorney at any time and from
time to time, promptly upon Attorney's request,  the following reports:  (1) a reconciliation of all accounts,  (2)
an aging of all accounts,  (3) trial  balances,  (4) test  verifications  of such accounts as Attorney may request,
and (5) the results of each physical  verification of inventory;  (g) communicate in its own name with any party to
any  Contract  with regard to the  assignment  of the right,  title and  interest of such  Grantor in and under the
Contracts and other matters relating  thereto;  (h) to file such financing  statements with respect to the Security
Agreement,  with or  without  such  Grantor's  signature,  or to file a  photocopy  of the  Security  Agreement  in
substitution  for a financing  statement,  as Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in such Grantor's name such
financing  statements  and  amendments  thereto  and  continuation  statements  which may  require  such  Grantor's
signature;  (i)  execute,  in  connection  with  any sale  provided  for in any Loan  Document,  any  endorsements,
assignments  or other  instruments  of conveyance or transfer  with respect to any  collateral  subject to the Loan
Documents  and to  otherwise  direct such sale or resale;  (j)  exercise the rights of such Grantor with respect to
the  obligation  of all account  debtors to make payment or  otherwise  render  performance  to such  Grantor;  (k)
exercise the rights of such Grantor to, and take any and all actions that  Attorney  deems  appropriate  to realize
the benefit of, any  intellectual  property;  and (l) assert any claims such  Grantor may have,  from time to time,
against any other party to any  contract to which such  Grantor is a party and to  otherwise  exercise any right or
remedy of such Grantor  thereunder,  all as though Attorney were the absolute owner of the property of such Grantor
for all purposes,  and to do, at Attorney's  option and such Grantor's  expense,  at any time or from time to time,
all acts and other things that  Attorney  reasonably  deems  necessary to perfect,  preserve,  or realize upon such
Grantor's  property or assets and  Attorney's  Liens  thereon,  all as fully and  effectively as such Grantor might
do. Each Grantor  hereby  ratifies,  to the extent  permitted by law, all that said Attorney  shall  lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this Power of Attorney is executed by each Grantor  pursuant to the authority of its
board of directors on this _____ day of September, 2003.
