Secured Party may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights
it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this
Security Agreement.  If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any
Secured Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right
to enter a deficiency judgment against any Grantor or any other Obligor or any
other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of
remedies” or the like, each Grantor hereby consents to such action by such

or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in
scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.

ARTICLE V
THE AGENT
 
SECTION 5.1.   Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the
place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise,
from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Security Agreement, including without limitation: (a) to ask,
demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, settle, adjust, receive and give

connection with clause (a) above; (c) to prepare, file and sign (including on
behalf of any Grantor) any documents, instruments or claims (including proofs of

institute any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for
the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral (including to prepare, file and
sign any notice of lien, assignment, or satisfaction or lien or similar
document); (d) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds
relating to any Collateral; (e) to receive, open and dispose of all mail

obligations of any Grantor (including those under Section 6.1), hereunder and
under the Transaction Documents.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND
AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION IS
IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST.
 
SECTION 5.2.   Agent Has No Duty.  The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder
are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such
powers.  Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no
duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Agent has
or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary
steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to
any Collateral.
 
 
23

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

 
 
SECTION 5.3.   Reasonable Care.  The Agent is required to exercise reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided that the Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if it takes such action for
that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but
failure of the Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in
itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
 
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
 
SECTION 6.1.   Certain Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:
 
(a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the
rights and remedies of a Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not
the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) take possession of
any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal
process; (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it
will, at its expense and upon request of the Agent forthwith, assemble all or
part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and make it available to the
Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent that is reasonably convenient to
both parties; (iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and
take possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and (iv)
without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit
or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem
commercially reasonable.  Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by Applicable Law, at least ten days’ prior notice to such
Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given.  The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.
 
(b) Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable
disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Goods, Computer Hardware and Software
Collateral, or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition
to the sale of, such Collateral.  Each Grantor further agrees and acknowledges
that the following shall be deemed a reasonable commercial disposition:  (i) a
disposition made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) a
disposition at the price current in any recognized market at the time of
disposition, and (iii) a disposition in conformity with reasonable commercial
practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition.
 
(c) All cash Proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral
shall be applied by the Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations as
determined by Agent.
 
 
24

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

 
 
(d) The Agent may (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name
of the Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is
subject to the Lien hereunder; (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the
Collateral to make payment to the Agent of any amount due or to become due
thereunder; (iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or
otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or
compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the
original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect
thereto; (v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name
to allow collection of the Collateral; (vi) take control of any Proceeds of the
Collateral; and (vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor)
endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
 
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, in respect of the Intellectual Property
Collateral:  (i) upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and
deliver to the Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property
Collateral, subject (in the case of any licenses thereunder) to any valid and
enforceable requirements to obtain consents from any third parties, and such
other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and
purposes hereof; (ii) each Grantor agrees that the Agent may file applications
and maintain registrations for the protection of the Intellectual Property
Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of such Grantor, the Agent or any
Secured Party to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any licenses
thereunder and, upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to assist with such filing or enforcement
(including the execution of relevant documents); and (iii) in the event that the
Agent elects not to make any filing or bring any suit as set forth in clause
(ii), each Grantor shall, upon the request of Agent, use all commercially
reasonable efforts, whether through making appropriate filings or bringing suit
or otherwise, to protect, enforce and prevent the infringement,
misappropriation, dilution, unauthorized use or other violation of the
Intellectual Property Collateral.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for the purposes
of this Section 6.1, “Collateral” and “Intellectual Property Collateral” shall
include any “intent to use” trademark application only to the extent (i) that
the business of such Grantor, or portion thereof, to which that mark pertains is
also included in the Collateral and (ii) that such business is ongoing and
existing.
 
SECTION 6.2.   Securities Laws.  If the Agent shall determine to exercise its
right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Pledged Interests pursuant
to Section 6.1, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Agent, each
Grantor will, at its own expense:
 
(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not
a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each issuer of the
Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to
execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be
done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of
the Agent, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and
cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to
remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by Applicable Law
to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the
related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Agent, are necessary or
advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;
 
 
25

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

 
 
(b) use its best efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or
“Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale
of the Collateral, as requested by the Agent;
 
(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such
Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to
its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
 
(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to
make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in
compliance with Applicable Law.
 
(e) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of
damages that would be suffered by the Agent or the Secured Parties by reason of
the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this
Section and consequently agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any
of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an
amount equal to the value (as determined by the Agent) of such Collateral on the
date the Agent shall demand compliance with this Section.
 
SECTION 6.3.   Compliance with Restrictions.  Each Grantor agrees that in any
sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation
or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including
compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective
bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers
have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and
purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for
their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the
sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such
Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being
considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner,
nor shall the Agent be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount
allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance
with any such limitation or restriction.
 
SECTION 6.4.   Protection of Collateral.  The Agent may from time to time, at
its option, (a) perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being
requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request
need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default) and (b) take any other action which the Agent deems necessary for the
maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its
security interest therein and, in each case, the expenses of the Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor upon demand.
 
 
26

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

 
 
 
SECTION 6.5.   Warranties.  The Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any
warranties or representations as to the Collateral.  The Agent may disclaim any
warranties of title or the like.  Each Grantor agrees that this procedure will
not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale
of the Collateral.
 
SECTION 6.6.   Expenses and Indemnity.
 
(a) The Grantors will upon demand jointly and severally pay to the Agent and any
local counsel the amount of any and all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of its
external counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent and any local
counsel may incur in connection herewith, including without limitation in
connection with (i) the administration of this Security Agreement, (ii) the
custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement
of any of the rights of the Agent and any local counsel or any of the Secured
Parties hereunder, or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any
of the provisions hereof.
 
(b) The Grantors hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent, each Secured Party and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this Security
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party (including,
without limitation, enforcement of this Security Agreement), except claims,
losses or liabilities resulting from any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence,
willful misconduct or unlawful acts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS THE INTENTION
OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY BE INDEMNIFIED IN THE CASE OF
ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH
NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT OR
TECHNICAL.  If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be
unenforceable for any reason, each Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the foregoing which is
permissible under Applicable Law.
