<PAGE>

                  (m) Litigation and Other Proceedings. There are no lawsuits or
proceedings pending or to the knowledge of the Debtor and/or the Subsidiaries
threatened, against the Debtor and the Subsidiaries, nor has the Debtor and the

Material Adverse Effect. No judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree or award

reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (n) Employee Relations. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries are

insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries believe to
be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Debtor and the
Subsidiaries is engaged. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries have no reason to
believe that they will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as

as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  (p) Patents and Trademarks. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries
have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks,
trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, trade
secrets and other intellectual property rights which are necessary for use in

Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the "Intellectual Property Rights"). To
the best knowledge of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries, none of the Intellectual
Property Rights is infringing, or will infringe on any trademark, trade name,
patent right, copyright, license, trade secret or other similar right of others
currently in existence rights of any other Person, and the Debtor and the
Subsidiaries either own or have duly licensed or otherwise acquired all
necessary rights with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights. The Debtor
and the Subsidiaries have not received any notice from any third party of any
claim of infringement by the Debtor or the Subsidiaries of any of the
Intellectual Property Rights, and have no reason to believe there is any basis
for any such claim. To the best knowledge of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries,
there is no existing infringement by another person on any of the Intellectual
Property Rights.

                  (q) Permits; Compliance. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries are
in possession of and operating in compliance with all franchises, grants,
authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents,
certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate their
properties and to carry on their business as it is now being conducted
(collectively, the "Permits"), all of which are valid and in full force and
effect, and there is no action pending or, to the knowledge of the Debtor and
the Subsidiaries, threatened regarding the suspension or cancellation of any of
the Permits except for such Permits, the failure of which to possess, or the
cancellation, or suspension of which, would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Debtor's and/or the
Subsidiaries' knowledge, neither the Debtor nor any Subsidiary is in material
conflict with, or in material default or material violation of, any of the
Permits. Since September 30, 2001, neither the Debtor nor any Subsidiary has
received any notification with respect to possible material conflicts, material
defaults or material violations of applicable laws.

Agreement, neither the Debtor nor any Subsidiary is in default in the
performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or
condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material

is bound

                  (u) Title to Assets. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries have good

may be necessary or desirable, or that the Secured Party may reasonably request,
in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be

                  (c) Stock Dividends, Distributions, etc. If, while this
Agreement is in effect, the Debtor and/or the Subsidiaries shall become entitled
to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without
limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend, stock split,

their respective businesses as presently operated, and shall take any and all

the Note, shall have occurred, the Debtor and the Subsidiaries shall be entitled
to vote the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of
the Shares; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver or
ratification given or action taken, which would violate any rights the Secured
Party has to the Shares under the terms of this Agreement or the Amended and
Restated Convertible Note.

         8. Rights of Secured Party. Any of the Shares may, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (as defined below or in the Note), (a) be
registered in the name of the Secured Party and its nominees (for which a power
of attorney coupled with an interest is hereby granted), which may thereafter
exercise all voting and other rights and exercise any and all rights of
conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any of the Shares as if it were the absolute owner thereof or (b)
to the extent permitted by law, be sold by the Secured Party in the name of the
Debtor or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to any third party with proceeds
(up to the amount equal to the Secured Obligations plus any and all monies due
to the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement) of
such sale being paid to the Secured Party (for which a power of attorney coupled
with an interest is hereby granted). In addition, the Debtor and the
Subsidiaries grant to the Secured Party a power of attorney coupled with an
interest to sign on behalf of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries after an Event of
Default (as defined herein or in the Amended and Restated Convertible Note), a
statement renouncing or modifying the Debtor's and the Subsidiaries' rights
under section 9-505 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.

         9. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Debtor and the
Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably appoint the Secured Party as its
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Debtor and
the Subsidiaries and in the name of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries, the Secured
Party or otherwise, from time to time in the Secured Party's discretion to take
any action and to execute any instrument that the Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation:

                  (a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the
Secured Party;

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

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

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  (d) to pay or discharge taxes or liens, levied or placed upon
or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the
amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Secured Party in
its sole discretion, and such payments made by the Secured Party to become
obligations of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries, due and payable immediately
without demand and secured by the Security Interests; and

                  (e) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement
with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and
completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at the Secured Party's option and the Debtor's and
Subsidiaries' expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things
that the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral.

         This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as
this Agreement shall remain in force.

         10. Transfers and Other Liens. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries shall
not, without the Secured Party's prior written consent:

                  (a) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the
Collateral.

                  (b) create or suffer to exist any lien, security interest or
other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to
secure indebtedness of any person except for the security interest created by
this Agreement.

         11. Events of Default. The occurrence of any "Event of Default" as that
term is defined in Note shall constitute an Event of Default by the Debtor
and/or the Subsidiaries under this Agreement.

         12. Remedies

                  (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Secured Party may declare the entire outstanding principal
amount of the Note immediately due and payable without any notice, demand or
other action on the part of the Secured Party.

                  (b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to all 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) without notice or demand or legal process, take possession of the
Collateral and take any and all actions necessary to transfer or sell the
Collateral in the name of the Secured Party; (ii) without notice except as
specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at such time or times,
for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon
such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable; (iii)
notify the obligors on any Accounts or Instruments to make payments there under
directly to the Secured Party; (iv) without notice to the Debtor and/or the
Subsidiaries, renew, modify or extend any of the Accounts and Instruments or
grant waivers or indulgences with respect thereto or accept partial payment
thereof, or substitute any obligor thereon, in any manner as the Secured Party
may deem advisable, without affecting or diminishing the Debtor's and/or the
Subsidiaries' continuing obligations hereunder, and (v) and shall have all
applicable remedies set forth in the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         13. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default as set forth herein, the proceeds of any sale
of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied: first, to all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party
with respect to the Collateral; and second, to the Secured Obligations. The
Secured Party shall pay over to the Debtor and the Subsidiaries any surplus and
the Debtor and the Subsidiaries shall remain liable for any deficiency.

         14. Expenses. The Debtor and the Subsidiaries agree to pay all
insurance expenses and all expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing,
appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, all
costs, fees and expenses of perfecting and maintaining the Security Interests,
and any and all excise, property, sales and use taxes imposed by any state,
federal or local authority on any of the Collateral, or with respect to periodic
appraisals and inspections of the Collateral, or with respect to the sale or
other disposition thereof. If the Debtor and/or the Subsidiaries fail promptly
to pay any portion of the above expenses when due or to perform any other
obligation of the Debtor and/or the Subsidiaries under this Agreement, The
Secured Party may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay or perform
the same, and the Debtor and the Subsidiaries agree to reimburse the Secured
Party therefor on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by the Secured Party for
any of the foregoing, any and all other sums for which the Debtor and the
Subsidiaries may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees, legal expenses and court costs) incurred by the Secured Party
in enforcing or protecting the Security Interests or any of their rights or
remedies under this Agreement shall be payable on demand, shall constitute
Secured Obligations, shall bear interest until paid at the rate provided in the
Amended and Restated Convertible Note and shall be secured by the Collateral.

         15. Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral. Upon
payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the Security Interests shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Debtor and the
Subsidiaries. Upon such termination of the Security Interests or release of any
Collateral, the Secured Party will, at the expense of the Debtor and the
Subsidiaries, execute and deliver to the Debtor and the Subsidiaries such
documents as the Debtor and the Subsidiaries shall reasonably request to
evidence the termination of the Security Interests or the release of such
Collateral, as the case may be.

         16. Notices. Each notice, communication and delivery under this
Agreement: (a) shall be made in writing signed by the party giving it; (b) shall

Debtor and/or the Subsidiaries shall not assign this Agreement without the
Secured Party's prior written consent.

         18. Changes in Writing. No amendment, modification, termination or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the
