other  obligation  directly to the Bank.  Any Proceeds shall be deposited in the
form received except for the  endorsement of the Borrower where required,  which
endorsement  the Bank is  authorized to make on the  Borrowers  behalf and
shall be held by the Bank as security for all  Liabilities,  and the Bank may at
any time and from time to time apply all or any  portion of the funds on deposit

lease or  furnish  under  contracts  of sale or  service,  any of the  Inventory

any time any of the Inventory is placed by the Borrower on consignment  with any
consignee,  Borrower shall, prior to delivery of such consigned  Inventory,  (a)

documentation to be used in connection with such consignment (all of which shall
be in a form acceptable to the Bank); (b) prepare,  execute and file appropriate
financing  statements  with  respect  to any  consigned  Inventory  showing  the

generality of the foregoing,  Borrower shall comply with all requirements of the
federal Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, in the conduct of its business and
the production of Inventory.  Borrower shall notify the Bank  immediately of any
violation by Borrower of the Fair Labor  Standards  Act, and the absence of such
notice  shall  constitute  Borrowers  continuing  representation  that all
Inventory  then  existing has been  produced in  compliance  with the Fair Labor
Standards Act.

---

|GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT | Page 12
|-------------------------- | -------

Section   8.2   Further   Assurances.   The
Borrower agrees to do such reasonable acts and things and deliver or cause to be
delivered  such other  documents as the Bank may deem necessary to establish and
maintain a valid security  interest in the  Collateral  (free of all other liens
and claims except Permitted  Encumbrances) to secure the payment and performance
of the  Liabilities  and to defend  title to the  Collateral  against any Person
claiming any interest  therein adverse to the Bank. The Borrower  authorizes the
Bank, at the expense of the Borrower,  to execute and file a financing statement
or  statements  on its  behalf  in those  public  offices  deemed  advisable  or
necessary  by the Bank to protect  the  security  interests  of the Bank  herein
granted. If permitted by law, the Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement may be
filed as a financing statement.

Section 8.3   Insurance.

| | (a)        
The Borrower shall have and maintain at all times, with respect to Inventory and
Equipment,  insurance written by companies acceptable to the Bank covering risks
customarily  insured against by companies engaged in business similar to that of
the Borrower in reasonable amounts, containing such terms, in such form, and for
such periods customarily  maintained by companies engaged in business similar to
that of the Borrower.  Such  insurance  shall be payable to the Borrower and the
Bank as their interests may appear.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)        
In addition  to the  insurance  requirements  set forth in Section  8.3(a),  the
Borrower  will  carry any other  insurance  and  amounts  for  periods as may be
reasonably  required by the Bank,  and will  deliver to the Bank,  not less than
five (5) days prior to the expiration of any such policy of insurance,  renewals
or new policies in like amounts covering the same risks.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)        
All such insurance policies shall carry standard, non-contributory lenders
loss payable clauses and breach of warranty endorsements,  in favor of the Bank.
The insurance  certificates  evidencing the Borrowers  compliance with the
above shall be deposited  with the Bank,  and in the event the Borrower fails to
file and maintain  such  insurance,  the Bank may, at its option,  purchase such
insurance  and the cost of such  insurance  shall become a Liability  secured by
these presents and all sums expended shall bear interest at the highest  Default
rate of interest set forth in the Credit  Agreement  until paid. If requested by
the Bank,  the Borrower shall deliver  certified  copies of such policies to the
Bank. The Borrower shall pay all insurance  premiums promptly when due and shall
provide substitute policies of insurance should the Bank at any time reject, for
reasonable cause, any such policies of insurance furnished by the Borrower.  The
Borrower  hereby  assigns  to the  Bank  the  proceeds  of all  such  insurance,
including,  without  limitation,  any  premium  refunds,  to the  extent  of the
Liabilities,  shall  direct the insurer to make payment of any losses or refunds
directly to the Bank, and appoints the Bank its  attorney-in-fact to endorse any
draft,  check or other form of payment  made by such  insurer.  So long as there
then exists no Default,  the Bank shall remit any  insurance  proceeds less than
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to the Borrower.  Any insurance proceeds
not remitted to the Borrower shall be applied to the outstanding Liabilities, in
the order of preference determined by the Bank.

Section                   8.4   Collection                  of
Collateral.   The Borrower will, at its own expense, endeavor
to collect,  as and when due,  all amounts  due with  respect to any  Collateral

deem advisable.

Section  8.5   Bank May Defend  Title.   In
the event the Borrower fails to pay any taxes,  assessments,  premiums, or fees,
or fails to discharge any liens or claims against the Collateral  required to be
paid or discharged by the Borrower, or fails to purchase, maintain and file with
the Bank any  insurance  required  by this  Security  Agreement,  or if any such
insurance is  inappropriate  to the  situation,  in the  Banks  reasonable
discretion,  the Bank  may,  without  demand  or  notice,  pay any  such  taxes,
assessments,  premiums or fees, or pay, acquire,  satisfy or discharge any liens
or claims asserted  against the Collateral  (without any obligation to determine
the validity thereof),  or purchase any such insurance.  All sums so expended by
the Bank  shall  become a  Liability  secured by these  presents  and shall bear
interest  at the  highest  Default  rate of  interest  set  forth in the  Credit
Agreement until paid.

Section 8.6     Negotiable Collateral.   If
any Collateral,  including Proceeds,  consists of a letter of credit,  advice of
credit, Instrument, certificates of deposit, negotiable Documents, chattel paper
or similar  property,  the Borrower  shall,  immediately  upon receipt  thereof,
endorse  and assign such  Collateral,  and deliver  actual  physical  possession
thereof,  to the Bank, and prior to such  delivery,  shall hold such property in
trust for the Bank.  Schedule  5 hereto is a true and  correct  list of all such
negotiable Collateral owned by the Borrower, other than money. The Borrower will
give the Bank written  notice each time it acquires such  additional  negotiable
Collateral, other than money.

Section   8.7   Contracts.   The   Borrower
shall remain liable to perform its obligations  under any contracts  included in
the  Collateral  to the extent as though this  Security  Agreement  had not been
entered  into,  and the  Bank  shall  not  have any  obligation  under  any such
contracts by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.8   Accounting System.   
Borrower shall maintain a standard and modern system
of accounting in accordance with GAAP which contains information pertaining to
the Collateral that may from time to time be requested by the Bank.

Section      8.9   Inspection      of      Collateral      and
Records.   During  Borrowers  usual business hours, the
Bank may inspect and  examine the  Collateral  and check and test the same as to
quality,  quantity,  value, and condition. The Bank shall also have the right at
any time or times  hereafter,  during  Borrowers  usual  business hours or
during the usual  business  hours of any third  party  having  control  over the
records of the Borrower,  to inspect  Borrowers books and records in order
to verify the  amount or  condition  of, or any other  matter  relating  to, the
Collateral and Borrowers financial condition and to copy and make extracts
from such books and records.  Borrower waives the right to assert a confidential
relationship,  if any, it may have with any accounting  firm in connection  with
any  information  requested by the Bank pursuant to this Security  Agreement and
agrees that the Bank may directly  contact any such  accounting firm in order to
obtain such information.

Section                   8.10   Transfer                   of
Collateral.   Borrower   shall  not  sell,  lease,   license,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any interest in any Collateral except (a) sales
of  Inventory in the  ordinary  course of business  pursuant to Section 6.2, (b)
licensings  and other  dispositions  of  Intellectual  Property in the  ordinary
course of business  pursuant to Section  5.3, (c)  dispositions  of Equipment in
accordance with Section 7.5, and (d) the writeoff of  uncollectible  Accounts in
the ordinary course of business.

ARTICLE 9.        
REMEDY

Section      9.1   Remedies      Generally;      Power      of
Sale.   Upon  the  occurrence  of any Default and at any time
thereafter,  the Bank shall have all rights and remedies  available at law or in
equity including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the  Indiana  Uniform  Commercial  Code,  as in  effect  from time to time
(regardless  of  whether  the Code has been  enacted in the  jurisdiction  where
rights or remedies are asserted),  including,  without limitation,  the right to
take possession of the Collateral,  and for that purpose the Bank may, so far as
the Borrower can give authority  therefor,  enter upon any premises on which the
Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Bank shall give to
the Borrower at least ten (10)  days  prior written notice of the time and
place of any public  sale of  Collateral  or of the time after which any private
sale or any  other  intended  disposition  is to be  made.  The  Bank may in its
discretion  transfer any  securities or other property  constituting  Collateral
into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the income thereon and hold
the same as security for Liabilities or apply it on principal or interest due on
Liabilities.  In the event that the Bank takes  possession  of any  Intellectual
Property, the goodwill associated with any trademarks,  tradenames, trade dress,
and service marks of the Borrower shall be transferred to the Bank.

Section   9.2   Deposits.   Any   and   all
Deposit Accounts, deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the
Bank to the  Borrower  shall at all times  constitute  security  for any and all
Liabilities,  and the Bank may  apply or set off  such  deposits  or other  sums
against  Liabilities at any time in Default  whether or not the  Liabilities are
then  due or  other  Collateral  is  considered  by  the  Bank  to be  adequate.

Section                    9.3   Waiver                    and
Amendment.   Except  as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
to the extent  permitted by law, the Borrower  waives demand,  notice,  protest,
notice of acceptance of this Security  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.  With  respect to
both  Liabilities  and  Collateral,  the  Borrower  assents to any  extension or
postponement  of  the  time  of  payment  or  any  other   indulgence,   to  any
substitution,  exchange, or release of Collateral, to the addition or release of
any party or person  primarily  or  secondarily  liable,  to the  acceptance  of
partial  payments  thereon and the  settlement,  compromise or adjustment of any
thereof,  all in such  manner  and at such  time or  times  as the Bank may deem
advisable.  Except as otherwise  provided by law, the Bank shall have no duty as
to the collection or protection of the Collateral,  or any income therefrom, 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.
The Bank may exercise its rights with respect to Collateral without resorting or
regard to other  Collateral or sources of reimbursement  for any Liability.  The
Bank  shall not be  deemed  to have  waived  any of these  rights  upon or under
Liabilities  or  Collateral  unless  such waiver be in writing and signed by the
Bank. No delay or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right shall
operate  as a waiver  of such  right or any  other  right.  A waiver  on any one
occasion  shall not be  construed  as a bar to the  exercise of any right on any
future  occasion.  All rights and remedies of the Bank as to the  Liabilities or
Collateral  whether  evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers shall
be cumulative and may be exercised  singly,  successively or together.  The Bank
may,  from time to time,  without  notice to the Borrower (a) retain or obtain a
security  interest  in any  property  of any other  Person,  in  addition to the
Collateral,  to secure any of the Liabilities;  (b) retain or obtain the primary
or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to the Borrower with
respect to any of the  Liabilities;  (c) extend or renew for any period (whether
or not longer than the original  period) or release or compromise  any liability
of any party or parties  primarily or  secondarily  liable to the Bank under the
Credit  Agreement;  (d) release  its  security  interest in any of the  property
securing any of the Liabilities and permit any  substitution or exchange for any
such  property;  and (e) resort to the  Collateral for the payment of any of the
Liabilities whether or not it shall have resorted to any other property or shall
have proceeded against any party primarily or secondarily  liable for any of the
Liabilities.  The Bank  shall  not,  under  any  circumstances,  or in any event
whatsoever,  have any  liability  for any error or omission or delay of any kind
occurring in the  liquidation  of any  Collateral,  including the  settlement or
collection  of any  Account  or  for  any  damage  resulting  therefrom,  except
liability  resulting  from any act or  omission  by the Bank  which  constitutes
wilful misconduct. This Security Agreement may be amended only by a writing duly
signed by the Bank and the Borrower.

any  and   all   reasonable   out-of-pocket   expenses,   including   reasonable
attorneys  fees, incurred or paid by the Bank in protecting the Collateral
or the existence,  perfection or priority of the Banks  security  interest
therein.  After  deducting all of such expenses,  the residue of any Proceeds of

principal or interest on Liabilities in such order of preference as the Bank may
determine, and any excess shall be returned to the Borrower.

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Bank and the Banks designees from

substitution  in the premises  upon the  occurrence  of a Default (a) to demand,
collect, receipt for, settle, compromise,  adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize
upon the Collateral in such manner as the Bank may determine, whether or not the
Collateral is then due; (b) to receive,  open,  and dispose of mail addressed to
the Borrower; (c) to endorse notes, checks,  drafts, money orders,  Documents or
other  evidences of payment,  shipment or storage or any form of  Collateral  on

Borrower  any  invoice  or bill of lading  relating  to any  Account,  on drafts
against  customers,  on schedules  and  assignments  of Accounts,  on notices of
assignment,  financing  statements and other public records, on verifications of
Accounts and on notices to customers;  (e) to sign the  Borrowers  name to

nonexclusive  license  under  the  Intellectual  Property  to  anyone  else,  or
necessary  or  expedient  for the Bank to assign,  pledge,  convey or  otherwise
transfer title in, or dispose of, the Intellectual  Property to anyone else, for
the purpose of recording, registering, filing or accomplishing any other formula

acts of such attorneys. Neither the Bank nor any attorney will be liable for any
acts or  omissions  nor for any error of  judgment  or  mistake  of fact or law,
absent  gross  negligence,  bad faith or wilful  misconduct.  This power,  being
coupled with an interest,  is irrevocable  until the Liabilities have been fully
satisfied.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, no attorney acting
pursuant to this  Section 9.5 shall have any  authority  to confess  judgment on
behalf of the Borrower.

Section   9.6   License.   Borrower  hereby
grants  to  the  Bank  a  license  to  use,   without  charge,   Borrowers
Intellectual   Property  and  other  Collateral  in  completing  production  of,
advertising  for sale, or selling any Collateral  after any Default,  and all of
the Borrowers rights under all licenses and franchise agreements shall, in
such event, inure to the Banks  benefit. In addition,  the Borrower shall,
upon request by the Bank,  make  available  such  personnel  in  Borrowers

the Bank to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the
Collateral sold by the Borrower under any Intellectual  Property or license. The
license  herein shall include the right of the Bank to use,  assign,  license or
sublicense any of the Borrowers  Intellectual Property,  including in such
license reasonable access as to all media in which any of the licensed items may
be recorded or stored; provided that the Bank shall comply with all pre-existing
quality control  standards and trademark use  requirements  of the Borrower.  No
agreements  hereafter  entered into by the Borrower shall prohibit,  restrict or
impair the rights of the Bank granted hereunder.

Section  9.7   Reinstatement.   If,  at any
time after payment in full by the Borrower of all Liabilities and termination of
the Banks  security interest,  any payments on the Liabilities  previously
made by the  Borrower or any other  Person must be disgorged by the Bank for any
reason whatsoever,  including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower or such Person,  this Security  Agreement and the
Banks  security  interests  herein shall be reinstated as to all disgorged
payments as though such payments had not been made,  and the Borrower shall sign
and deliver to the Bank all documents,  and shall do such other acts and things,
as may be necessary to re-perfect the Banks security interest.

Section     9.8   No      Marshaling.   The
Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns,  hereby
expressly  waives all rights,  if any, to require a marshaling  of assets by the
Bank or to require the  Banks  first  resort to some or any portion of the
Collateral before foreclosing upon, selling or otherwise  realizing on any other
portion thereof.

ARTICLE 10.        
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Commercial  Code and  other  applicable  laws of the State of  Indiana,  without
regard to conflict of law principles.

Section     10.3   Severability.   Whenever
possible each provision of this Security  Agreement shall be interpreted in such
a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Security  Agreement  shall be prohibited by or invalid under  applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective  only to the extent of such prohibition
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Security Agreement.  The Borrower recognizes that the Bank has relied on
this Security Agreement in extending credit to the Borrower and agrees that such
reliance  by the  Bank  shall be  sufficient  consideration  for  this  Security
Agreement.

The  rights  and  privileges  of the  Bank  shall  inure to the  benefit  of its
respective successors and assigns.

BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF
THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  BY THIS  AGREEMENT  OR ANY  COURSE OF  CONDUCT,
DEALING,  STATEMENTS  (WHETHER  ORAL OR WRITTEN),  OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM.
NEITHER  BANK  NOR  BORROWER  SHALL  SEEK TO  CONSOLIDATE,  BY  COUNTERCLAIM  OR
OTHERWISE,  ANY  ACTION  IN WHICH A JURY  TRIAL HAS BEEN  WAIVED  WITH ANY OTHER

SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN  MODIFIED  IN ANY  RESPECT OR  RELINQUISHED  BY
EITHER BANK OR BORROWER EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY BOTH OF THEM.
