                  g. This Security Agreement creates a valid Lien in the

Company, Company will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or
that DeLuca may reasonably


4
<PAGE>
request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable DeLuca to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Company will: (i) mark conspicuously each
document and agreement included in the Collateral and, at the request of DeLuca,
each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and
substance satisfactory to DeLuca indicating that such Collateral is subject to
the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any Receivable shall be evidenced
by a promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver such
promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper to DeLuca duly endorsed and
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form
and substance satisfactory to DeLuca; and (iii) execute and file such financing
or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as DeLuca may request, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby.

                  b. Company hereby authorizes DeLuca to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or
any part of the Collateral without the signature of Company where permitted by

demands of all persons (other than DeLuca) claiming an interest therein. Company
will pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims
for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Collateral, except to the extent
where there is a good faith contest to the validity thereof. In connection with
any such good faith contest Company will, at the request of DeLuca, promptly
provide a bond, cash deposit or other security reasonably satisfactory to
protect the security interest of DeLuca should such good faith contest be
unsuccessful.

                  e. DeLuca acknowledges that to the extent required by any bank
or lender providing purchase money financing to Company (each a "Bank", and
together the "Banks"), the obligations under the New Loan Agreement will be
junior in payment to all amounts due pursuant to secured loans made by such
Bank(s) to Company. DeLuca shall enter into such subordination agreements as may
be reasonably requested by any such Bank or Banks.

         6. As to Equipment, Inventory and Trademarks. Company shall:


5
<PAGE>
                  a. Keep the Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory sold

                  b. Cause the Equipment necessary for the conduct of its

working order as when new, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall forthwith,
or in the case of any loss or damage to any of the Equipment as quickly as

replacements, and other improvements in connection therewith which are necessary
or desirable to such end;

                  c. Permit DeLuca or any agent thereof to have access to the

damage to the Inventory or Equipment;

                  e. Not sell, assign, lease, mortgage, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any interest in the Inventory or Equipment, except in the ordinary
course of business;

                  f. Not use or permit the Inventory or Equipment to be used for
any unlawful purpose or in violation of any law or for hire;

                  g. Not permit the Equipment to become a part of or to be
affixed to any real property of any person;

                  h. Advise DeLuca of all Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights or
applications for or registration of the same, created or obtained by Company on
or after the date of this Security Agreement; and

                  i. Take all reasonable steps to maintain and enforce the
Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights material to the conduct of its business,
including but not limited to (1) payment of all fees, (2) prosecuting infringers
if failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the business of
Company and (3) diligently pursuing any application or registration material to
the business of Company.

         7. Insurance.

                  a. Company shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with
respect to the Equipment and Inventory in such amounts, against such risks, in

and like business.


6
<PAGE>
                  b. Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by
Company pursuant to this Section 7 may be paid directly to the person who shall
have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving
damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 7 is not
applicable, Company shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or
replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
maintained by Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be paid to Company as
reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

                  c. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the New
Loan Agreement, the New Note or herein (an "Event of Default"), all insurance
payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to DeLuca.

         8. As to Receivables.

                  a. Company shall keep the Receivables at its chief place of
business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records
concerning the Receivables, at the location therefor specified in Schedule 1
hereto or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to DeLuca, at such other locations
in a jurisdiction where all action required by Section 5 shall have been taken
with respect to Receivables. Company will hold and preserve such records and
will permit representatives of DeLuca to inspect and make abstracts from such
records.

                  b. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b),
Company shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to
become due to Company under the Receivables. In connection with such
collections, Company may take (and, at the discretion of DeLuca, shall take)
such action as Company or DeLuca may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of the Receivables; provided, however, that DeLuca shall have the
right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default under the New Loan Agreement, the New Note or herein, upon written
notice to Company of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or
obligors under any Receivables of the assignment of such Receivables to DeLuca
and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts
due or to become due to Company thereunder directly to DeLuca and, upon such
notification and at the expense of Company, to enforce collection of any such
Receivables, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof,
in the same manner and to the same extent as Company might have done. After
receipt by Company of the notice from DeLuca referred to in the proviso to the
preceding sentence and as long as there is an Event of Default under the New
Loan Agreement, the New Note or herein, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including
instruments) received by Company in respect of the Receivables shall be received
in trust for the benefit of DeLuca hereunder, shall be segregated from other
funds of Company and shall be forthwith paid over to DeLuca in the same form as
so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral, or
be applied as provided by Section 13(b), as determined by DeLuca, and (ii)
Company shall not adjust,


7
<PAGE>
settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly
or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount
thereon, other than any discount allowed for prompt payment.

         9. Transfer and Other Liens. Company shall not:

                  a. Sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except in the ordinary course of
business.

                  b. Except for purchase money financing liens in the ordinary
course of business or statutory liens in the ordinary course of business, create
or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to
secure debt of any person.

         10. DeLuca Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Company hereby irrevocably
appoints DeLuca as Company's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place
and stead of Company and in the name of Company, DeLuca or otherwise, to, after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the New
Loan Agreement, the New Note or herein, take any action and to execute any
instrument which DeLuca may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation:

                  a. to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to
DeLuca pursuant to Section 7;

                  b. 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;

                  c. to receive, endorse, assign, and collect any and all
checks, notes, drafts and other negotiable and non-negotiable instruments,
documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and
Company waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument,
document or chattel paper so endorsed or assigned;

                  d. to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which DeLuca may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of
any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of DeLuca with respect
to any of the Collateral; and

                  e. to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the
Collateral or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if
DeLuca were the absolute owner thereof.

                  Company hereby ratifies and approves all acts, other than
those which result from DeLuca's gross negligence or willful misconduct, of
DeLuca, as its attorney in-fact,


8
<PAGE>
pursuant to this Section 10; and DeLuca, as its attorney in-fact, will not be
liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or
mistake of fact or law other than those which result from DeLuca's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable so long as this Security Agreement remains in effect.

                  Company also authorizes DeLuca, at any time and from time to
time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
under the New Loan Agreement, the New Note or herein, to communicate in its own
name with any party to any contract, agreement or instrument included in the
Collateral with regard to the assignment of such contract, agreement or
instrument and other matters relating thereto.

         11. DeLuca May Perform. If Company fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, DeLuca may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of DeLuca incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by Company under Section 14(b).

         12. DeLuca's Duties. The powers conferred on DeLuca hereunder are
solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, DeLuca shall not have any 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.

         13. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred under the
Loan Agreement, the New Note or herein, then during the continuance of such
Event of Default:

                  a. DeLuca 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 DeLuca on default under the Uniform
Commercial Code (the "Code") (whether or not the Code applies to the affected
Collateral) and also may (i) require Company to, and Company hereby agrees that
it will at its expense and upon the request of DeLuca forthwith, assemble all or
part of the Collateral as directed by DeLuca and make it available to DeLuca at
a place to be designated by DeLuca which is reasonably convenient to both
parties and (ii) to enter the premises where any of the Collateral is located
and take and carry away the same, by any of its representatives, with or without
legal process, to DeLuca's place of storage, and (iii) 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 DeLuca's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
credit or for future delivery and upon such other terms as DeLuca may deem
commercially reasonable. Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall
be required by law, at least five (5) days' notice to Company of the time and
place of any public or private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. DeLuca shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. DeLuca may adjourn any public or
private


9
<PAGE>
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 it was so adjourned.

                  b. All cash proceeds received by DeLuca in respect of any sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
may, in the discretion of DeLuca, be held by DeLuca as collateral for, and/or
then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to
DeLuca pursuant to Section 14) in whole or in part by DeLuca against, all or any
part of the obligations under the New Loan Agreement and the New Note in such
order as DeLuca shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by
DeLuca and remaining after the obligations under the New Loan Agreement and the
New Note have been satisfied shall be paid over to Company. If the proceeds of
the sale of the Collateral are insufficient to satisfy the obligations under the
New Loan Agreement, the Company agrees to pay upon demand any deficiency to
DeLuca.

         14. Indemnity and Expenses.

                  a. Company agrees to indemnify DeLuca from and against any and
all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or resulting from this
Security Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Security
Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from DeLuca's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

                  b. Company will upon demand pay to DeLuca the amount of any
and all expenses, including the reasonable fees and out of pocket disbursements
of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which DeLuca may incur in
connection with (i) filing or recording fees incurred in connection with 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 DeLuca, or (iv) the
failure by Company to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. DeLuca
shall not be liable to Company for damages as a result of delays, temporary
withdrawals of the Equipment from service or other causes other than those
caused by DeLuca's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         15. Continuing Security Interest. This Security Agreement shall create
a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full
force and effect until satisfaction of the obligations under the New Loan
Agreement and the New Note, (b) be binding upon Company, its successors and
assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of DeLuca and its successors, transferees
and assigns. Upon the satisfaction of all obligations under the New Loan
Agreement and the New Note, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Company. Upon any such
termination, DeLuca will, at Company's expense, execute and deliver to Company
such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation
as Company shall reasonably request to effect the termination and release of the
Liens on the Collateral.

<PAGE>
         16. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Security Agreement shall not
confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.

         17. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement (including the documents
referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and
supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among
the parties, written or oral, to the extent they have related in any way to the
subject matter hereof.

         18. Succession and Assignment. This Security Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties named herein and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign the New Loan Agreement,
this Security Agreement, or any of the rights, interests, or obligations
