     if this Security Agreement had not been executed,

     hereunder shall not release the Grantor from any of its duties or
     obligations under any such contracts or agreements included in the
     Collateral, and

          (c) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall
     have any obligation or liability under any such contracts or agreements
     included in the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement, nor shall
     the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any
     of the obligations or duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any
     action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

     SECTION 2.5. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent
and the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and all
obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional with
respect to the Secured Obligations, irrespective of

          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement,

     Secured Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release,
     surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the
     Pledgor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff,
     counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the
     invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise,
     unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any
     Secured Obligations or otherwise,

statement amendments assigning to the Collateral Agent any U.C.C. financing
statements filed by the Grantor in connection with such security agreements. The
Grantor will take any and all actions necessary (or required or requested by the
Collateral Agent), from time to time, to cause the Collateral Agent to obtain
exclusive Control of any Letter-of-Credit Rights owned by the Grantor in a
manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

     SECTION 4.1.11 Commercial Tort Claims. The Grantor shall advise the
Collateral Agent promptly upon the Grantor becoming aware that it owns any

Claim, the Grantor will execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems
necessary to create, perfect and protect the Collateral Agent's security
interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.

                              THE COLLATERAL AGENT

     SECTION 5.1. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent the Grantor's attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the
Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion,
following the occurrence and continuation of a Default of the nature set forth
in Section 11.01(f) or 11.01(g) of the Credit Agreement or an Event of Default,
to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security
Agreement, including:

          (a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and
     give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
     respect of any of the Collateral;

          (b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments,
     documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) above;

          (c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
     which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
     collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
     the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and

          (d) to perform the affirmative obligations of the Grantor hereunder
     (including all obligations of the Grantor pursuant to Section 4.1.7).

The Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

     SECTION 5.2. Collateral Agent May Perform. If the Grantor fails to perform
any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or
cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor pursuant to
Section 6.2.

     SECTION 5.3. Collateral Agent Has No Duty. In addition to, and not in
limitation of, Section 2.4, the powers conferred on the Collateral 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



                                       22
<PAGE>
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
Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of
any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral.

     SECTION 5.4. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its
possession; provided, however, the Collateral 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 the 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 Collateral Agent to
comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure
to exercise reasonable care.

                                    REMEDIES

     SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:

          (a) The Collateral 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 U.C.C. (whether or not the U.C.C. applies to the affected
     Collateral) and also may

               (i) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it
          will, at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent
          forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
          Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a
          place to be designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably
          convenient to both parties, and

               (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
          Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
          private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere,
          for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms
          as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor
          agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
          least ten days' prior notice to the 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 Collateral Agent shall
          not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
          of sale having been given. The Collateral 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) All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of
     any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of
     the Collateral shall, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor
     Agreement, be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
     Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6.2) pursuant to Section 3.02(b)(iii)
     of the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 6.2. Indemnity and Expenses.

          (a) The Grantor agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent from and
     against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or
     resulting from this Security



                                       24
<PAGE>
     Agreement (including enforcement of this Security Agreement), except
     claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Collateral Agent's gross
     negligence or wilful misconduct.

          (b) The Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the
     amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees
     and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the
     Collateral Agent may incur 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,
          and

               (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the
          Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder, or

               (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any of the
          provisions hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VII
