registered  Trademarks and Trademark  Licenses and all of the Patents and Patent
Licenses  owned  by  Grantor  in its own  name or as to  which  Grantor  has any
colorable  claim of ownership  that are material to the businesses of Grantor as
of the date  hereof.  To the best of Grantor's  knowledge,  each  Trademark  and
Patent is valid, subsisting,  unexpired, enforceable and has not been abandoned.
Except as set forth in  SCHEDULE  A, none of the  Trademarks  or  Patents is the
subject of any licensing or franchise agreement.  All licenses of the Trademarks
and Patents  are in force and,  to the best  knowledge  of the  Grantor,  not in
default. No holding,  decision or judgment has been rendered by any governmental
authority  which would  limit,  cancel or question  the validity of any material
Trademark or Patent.  No action or  proceeding  is pending (i) seeking to limit,
cancel or question  the  validity of any  Trademark  or Patent or the  Grantor's
ownership  thereof or (ii) which, if

<PAGE>

adversely  determined,  would  reasonably  be likely to have a material  adverse
effect on the value of any Trademark or Patent.

      4.  COVENANTS.  Grantor  covenants  and agrees with Lender that,  from and
after the date of this  Security  Agreement  until the  Obligations  are paid in
full:

            (a)  FURTHER  DOCUMENTATION.  From  time to time,  upon the  written
request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Grantor, the Grantor will promptly
and duly execute and deliver such further  instruments  and  documents  and take
such  further  action  as Lender  may  reasonably  request  for the  purpose  of
obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Security  Agreement and of the
rights and powers herein granted,  including,  without limitation, the filing of
any  financing  or  continuation  statements  under  the  UCC in  effect  in any
jurisdiction  with  respect to the liens  created  hereby.  Grantor  also hereby
authorizes  Lender to file any such financing or continuation  statement without
the signature of Grantor to the extent  permitted by  applicable  law. A carbon,
photographic  or  other   reproduction  of  this  Security  Agreement  shall  be
sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

            (b) LIMITATION ON LIEN ON COLLATERAL. Grantor will not create, incur
or permit to exist, will take all commercially  reasonable actions to defend the
Collateral against,  and will take such other commercially  reasonable action as
is necessary to remove,  any lien or claim on or to the  Collateral,  other than
the liens  created  hereby,  and other than as  permitted  pursuant  to the Loan
Agreement,  and will take all  commercially  reasonable  actions  to defend  the
right,  title and interest of Lender in and to any of the Collateral against the
claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

            (c)  LIMITATIONS ON  DISPOSITIONS  OF  COLLATERAL.  Grantor will not
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral,  or attempt, offer
or contract to do so except as permitted in the Loan Agreement.

            (d) NOTICES.  Grantor will advise  Lender  promptly,  in  reasonable
detail,  at its address set forth in the Loan Agreement,  (i) of any lien (other
than liens created  hereby or permitted  under the Loan  Agreement) on, or claim
asserted against,  Trademarks or Patents and (ii) of the occurrence of any other
event which could  reasonably be expected to have a material  adverse  effect on
the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the liens created hereunder.

            (e) PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS.

                  (i) Grantor (either itself or through  licensees) will, except
with respect to any Trademark that the Grantor shall reasonably  determine is of
immaterial economic value to it or otherwise reasonably determines not to do so,
(A) continue to use each  Trademark on each and every  trademark  class of goods
applicable to its current line as reflected in its current  catalogs,  brochures
and price lists in order to maintain such  Trademark in full force free from any
claim of  abandonment  for  non-use,  (B) maintain as in the past the quality of
products and services offered under such Trademark,  (C) use

<PAGE>

reasonable  efforts to employ  such  Trademark  with the  appropriate  notice of
registration,  (D) not adopt or use any mark which is  confusingly  similar or a
colorable  imitation of such Trademark unless within thirty (30) days after such
use or adoption  Lender,  for its  benefit,  shall  obtain a perfected  security
interest in such mark pursuant to this Security Agreement,  and (E) not (and not
permit any licensee or  sublicensee  thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to
do any act whereby any Trademark may become invalidated.

                  (ii) Grantor will not,  except with respect to any Patent that
Grantor  shall  reasonably  determine is of immaterial  economic  value to it or
otherwise  reasonably  determine  so to do,  do any act,  or omit to do any act,
whereby any Patent may become abandoned or dedicated.

                  (iii) Grantor will promptly  notify Lender if it knows, or has
reason to know,  that any  application  relating to any  material  Patent or any
Trademark may become abandoned or dedicated,  or of any adverse determination or
material development (including,  without limitation, the institution of, or any
such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent
and  Trademark  office or any court or tribunal in any  country)  regarding  the
Grantor's ownership of any Patent or Trademark or its right to register the same
or to keep and maintain the same.

                  (iv)  Whenever  a  Grantor,  either by itself or  through  any
agent, employee,  licensee or designee, shall file an application for any Patent
or for the  registration  of any  Trademark  with the United  States  Patent and
Trademark  Office or any  similar  office or agency in any other  country or any
political  subdivision  thereof,  the Grantor shall report such filing to Lender
within  fifteen (15) business  days after the last day of the fiscal  quarter in
which such filing occurs.  Upon request of Lender, the Grantor shall execute and
deliver any and all reasonably necessary agreements, instruments, documents, and
papers as Lender may request to evidence Lender's security interest in any newly
filed  Patent or  Trademark  and the  goodwill  and general  intangibles  of the
Grantor  relating  thereto  or  represented  thereby,  and each  Grantor  hereby
constitutes  Lender its  attorney-in-fact  to execute and file all such writings
for the foregoing purposes,  all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and
confirmed;  such power being coupled with an interest is  irrevocable  until the
Obligations are paid in full.

                  (v)  Grantor,  except with  respect to any Patent or Trademark
the Grantor shall reasonably  determine is of immaterial economic value to it or
it otherwise  reasonably  determines  not to so do, will take all reasonable and
necessary steps,  including,  without limitation,  in any proceedings before any
tribunal,  office or agency in any other  country or any  political  subdivision
thereof,  to maintain  and pursue each  application  (and to obtain the relevant
registration  or Patent) and to maintain  each Patent and each  registration  of
Trademarks,  including, without limitation,  filing of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability when appropriate.

                  (vi) In the event Grantor knows or has reason to know that any
material   Patent  or  Trademark   included  in  the  Collateral  is  infringed,
misappropriated  or diluted by a third party,  the Grantor shall promptly notify
Lender after it learns thereof

<PAGE>

and shall,  unless the Grantor shall  reasonably  determine  that such Patent or
Trademark is of immaterial economic value to the Grantor which determination the
Grantor  shall  promptly  report  to  Lender,  promptly  sue  for  infringement,
misappropriation  or dilution,  or take such other  actions as the Grantor shall
reasonably deem  appropriate  under the  circumstances to protect such Patent or
Trademark.

      5. LENDER'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

            (a) POWERS.  Grantor  hereby  irrevocably  constitutes  and appoints
Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful  attorney-in-fact  with full irrevocable  power and authority in
the place and stead of the  Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own
name, from time to time after the occurrence, and during the continuation of, an
Event of Default in Lender's  discretion,  for the  purpose of carrying  out the
terms of this Security Agreement,  to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute  any and  all  documents  and  instruments  which  may be  necessary  or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security  Agreement,  and,  without
limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  the Grantor hereby gives Lender the
power and right,  on behalf of the  Grantor  without  notice to or assent by the
Grantor, to do the following:

                  (i) at any time when any Event of Default  shall have occurred
and is continuing,  in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, to
take  possession  of  and  endorse  and  collect  any  checks,   drafts,  notes,
acceptances or other  instruments  for the payment of moneys due under,  or with
respect to, any  Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or
proceeding  in any court of law or equity or  otherwise  deemed  appropriate  by
Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to
such Collateral whenever payable;

                  (ii) to pay or  discharge  taxes and liens levied or placed on
or  threatened  against the  Collateral,  to effect any repairs or any insurance
called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or part of the
premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and

                  (iii) (a) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
of the  Collateral  to make  payment  of any and all monies due or to become due
thereunder  directly to Lender or as Lender shall  direct,  (b) to ask or demand
for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and
other  amounts  due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of
any Collateral,  (c) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills,
bills  of  lading,  storage  or  warehouse  receipts,  drafts  against  debtors,
assignments,  verifications,  notices and other documents in connection with any
of the  Collateral,  (d)  to  commence  and  prosecute  any  suits,  actions  or
proceedings  at law or in  equity  in any  court of  competent  jurisdiction  to
collect the Collateral or any portion  thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral,  (e) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (f) to settle, compromise or
adjust any suit, action or proceeding  described in the preceding clause and, in
connection therewith, to give such discharges or

<PAGE>

releases as Lender may deem appropriate, (g) to assign any Trademark (along with
goodwill of the business to which such Trademark pertains), throughout the world
for such term or terms, on such conditions,  and in such manner, as Lender shall
in its sole discretion determine,  and (h) generally, to sell, transfer,  pledge
and make  any  agreement  with  respect  to or  otherwise  deal  with any of the
Collateral  as fully and  completely  as though  Lender were the absolute  owner
thereof  for all  purposes,  and to do, at  Lender's  option  and the  Grantor's
expense,  at any time,  or from time to time,  all acts and things  which Lender
deems  necessary  to protect,  preserve or realize upon the  Collateral  and the
liens of Lender thereon and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all
as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.

            Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue  hereof.  This power of attorney  is a power  coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

            (b) OTHER POWERS.  Grantor also authorizes  Lender,  at any time and
from time to time,  to execute,  in  connection  with the sale  provided  for in
Section  8  hereof,  any  endorsements,  assignments  or  other  instruments  of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

            (c) NO DUTY ON THE PART OF LENDER.  The powers  conferred  on Lender
hereunder  are solely to protect the interests of Lender in the  Collateral  and
shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers.  Lender shall
be  accountable  only for amounts  that it actually  receives as a result of the
exercise  of such  powers,  and  neither it nor any of its  partners,  officers,
directors,  employees or agents shall be  responsible to the Grantor for any act
or failure to act  hereunder,  except for their own gross  negligence or willful
misconduct or failure to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

      6.  PERFORMANCE  BY LENDER OF GRANTOR'S  OBLIGATIONS.  If Grantor fails to
perform or comply with any of its  agreements  contained  herein and Lender,  as
provided for by the terms of this Security  Agreement,  shall itself  perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance,  with such agreement,  the
expenses of Lender incurred in connection  with such  performance or compliance,
together with interest thereon at the highest default rate provided in the Note,
shall be  payable  by the  Grantor  to  Lender on  demand  and shall  constitute
Obligations secured hereby.

      7.  PROCEEDS.  It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing (a) all Proceeds  received by Grantor  consisting of cash, checks and
other  cash  equivalents  shall  be held by the  Grantor  in trust  for  Lender,
segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by
the  Grantor,  be turned  over to Lender in the exact form  received  by Grantor
(duly  endorsed  by Grantor to Lender,  if  required),  and (b) any and all such
Proceeds  received by Lender (whether from Grantor or otherwise)  shall promptly
be applied by Lender against,  the Obligations  (whether  matured or unmatured),
such  application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such
Proceeds  remaining after the Obligations  shall have been paid in full

<PAGE>

shall be paid over to Grantor  or to  whomsoever  may be  lawfully  entitled  to
receive the same.

      8. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender,
may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing
or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand
of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of
any kind  (except  any  notice  required  by law  referred  to below) to or upon
Grantor  or  any  other  person  (all  and  each  of  which  demands,  defenses,
advertisements  and  notices  are  hereby  waived),  may in  such  circumstances
forthwith collect, receive,  appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof,  and/or may forthwith sell, lease,  assign, give option or options
to purchase,  or  otherwise  dispose of and deliver the  Collateral  or any part
thereof  (or,  contract to do any of the  foregoing),  in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales,  at any office of Lender or elsewhere upon such
terms and  conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best,  for cash or on credit or on future  delivery  without  assumption  of any
credit  risk.  Lender  shall have the right upon any such  public sale or sales,
and, to the extent  permitted  by law, to purchase  the whole or any part of the
Collateral  so sold,  free of any right or equity of  redemption in the Grantor,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released.  Grantor further agrees,  at
Lender's request,  to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at
places which Lender shall reasonably  select,  whether at the Grantor's premises
or  elsewhere.  Lender  shall  apply the net  proceeds  of any such  collection,
recovery,  receipt,  appropriation,  realization  or sale,  after  deducting all
reasonable  costs and expenses of every kind  incurred  therein or incidental to
the care or  safekeeping  of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of Lender  hereunder,  including,  without  limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part
of the  Obligations,  in such  order as Lender  may  elect,  and only after such
application  and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-504(l)(c) of the UCC,
need Lender  account for the  surplus,  if any,  to the  Grantor.  To the extent
permitted by applicable law,  Grantor waives all claims,  damages and demands it
may acquire  against  Lender  arising out of the  exercise by them of any rights
hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other  disposition of Collateral
shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed  reasonable  and proper if
given at least 10 days  before  such sale or other  disposition.  Grantor  shall
remain  liable  for  any  deficiency  if the  proceeds  of  any  sale  or  other
disposition of the Collateral are  insufficient  to pay the  Obligations and the
fees and  disbursements  of any  attorneys  employed  by Lender to collect  such
deficiency.

      9. LIMITATION ON DUTIES  REGARDING  PRESERVATION  OF COLLATERAL.  Lender's
sole duty with respect to the custody,  safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its  possession,  under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise,
shall be to deal with it in the same  manner as Lender  would deal with  similar
property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its partners, directors,
officers,  employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon all or any part of the  Collateral  or for any delay

<PAGE>

in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or otherwise.

      10.  POWERS  COUPLED WITH AN  INTEREST.  All  authorizations  and agencies
herein  Contained  with respect to the  Collateral  are  irrevocable  and powers
coupled with an interest.

      11.  SEVERABILITY.  Any  provision  of this  Security  Agreement  which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction  shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such  prohibition  or  unenforceability  without
invalidating  the  remaining  provisions  hereof,  and any such  prohibition  or
unenforceability   in  any   jurisdiction   shall  not   invalidate   or  render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

      12.  PARAGRAPH  HEADINGS.  The  paragraph  headings  used in this Security
Agreement  are for  convenience  of  reference  only and are not to  affect  the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

      13. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Lender shall not by any act (except by
a written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission
or otherwise  be deemed to have waived any right or remedy  hereunder or to have
acquiesced  in any  default  or Event of  Default or in any breach of any of the
terms  and  conditions  hereof.  No  failure  to  exercise,  nor  any  delay  in
exercising, on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right,  power
or privilege  hereunder shall preclude any other or further  exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right,  power or privilege.  A waiver by Lender of any
right or remedy hereunder on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which Lender would  otherwise have on any future  occasion.  The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative,  may be exercised  singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

      14. WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS;  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  None of the terms or
provisions of this Security  Agreement may be waived,  amended,  supplemented or
otherwise  modified except by a written  instrument  executed by the Grantor and
Lender,  provided that any provision of this Security Agreement may be waived by
Lender  in a  written  letter  or  agreement  executed  by Lender or by telex or
facsimile  transmission  from Lender.  This Security  Agreement shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of
Lender and its successors and assigns.

      15. NOTICES.  All notices,  requests and demands to or upon the Grantor or
Lender to be  effective  shall be in writing or by  telecopy or telex and unless
otherwise expressly provided herein,  shall be deemed to have been duly given or
made when delivered by hand,  or, in the case of mail,  three days after deposit
in the postal system,  first class postage prepaid,  or, in the case of telecopy
notice,  confirmation of receipt received, or, in the case of telex notice, when
sent, answerback received, addressed to a party at the address provided for such
party in the Loan Agreement.
