Interest.   To secure the payment and performance of the
Obligations and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is

    3.03               Ownership of
Collateral.  The Collateral owned by each Debtor is owned free
of all encumbrances and security interests, except Permitted
Liens.  Chattel paper constituting Collateral evidences a perfected
security interest in the goods covered by it, free from all other encumbrances
and security interests.  No financing statement (other than that filed
by any secured party with

it.  Debtor may grant the Security Interest in the Collateral owned by
such Debtor.

goods, which have been delivered or shipped to the account debtor, and for which
such Debtor has genuine invoices, shipping documents or
receipts.  Each Account constituting Collateral as of this date is
genuine and enforceable against the account debtor according to its
terms.  It, and the transaction out of which it arose, comply with all
applicable laws and regulations.  The amount represented by such
Debtor to Secured Party as owing by each account debtor is the amount actually
owing and is not subject to setoff, credit, allowance or adjustment, except
discount for prompt payment, nor has any account debtor returned the goods or
disputed its liability.

     

    3.05               No Defaults under
Collateral.  There has been no default as of this date
according to the terms of any Collateral and no step has been taken to foreclose
the security interest it evidences or otherwise to enforce its payment, and as
of this date, Debtor has no notice or knowledge which might impair the credit
standing of any account debtor.

     

    3.06               Filings.  Debtor
shall ensure and warrant that fully executed (if applicable) financing
statements containing a description of the Collateral will be filed of record in
every governmental, municipal or other office in every jurisdiction located
within the United States and its respective territories and possessions or such
other analogous documents in other countries as are necessary to publish notice
of and protect the validity of and to establish a valid and perfected security
interest in favor of the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral in which a
security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement or analogous
document in the United States and its political subdivisions, territories and
possessions pursuant to the UCC or other applicable law in such jurisdictions or
pursuant to applicable law in other countries, and no further or subsequent
filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is
necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with
respect to the filing of continuation statements or other documents of similar
effect.

     

    3.07               Validity of Security
Interests.  The Security Interest constitutes a valid and
perfected security interest in all the Collateral in which a security interest
may be perfected by filing a financing statement or analogous document in the
United States and its political subdivisions, territories and possessions
pursuant to the UCC or other applicable law in such jurisdictions.

    DEBTOR’S
COVENANTS

     

    From the date hereof, and thereafter

perfection, maintenance or continuation of the Security Interest under the UCC
or other laws of the State of Wisconsin, the laws of such other state or states

United States of America.  In the event that any rerecording or
refiling (or the filing of any statement of continuation or assignment of any
financing statement) or any repledge or reassignment, or any other action, is
required at any time to protect, preserve or maintain the Security Interest,
Debtor shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the same to be done or taken
at such time and in such manner as may be necessary and as may be reasonably
requested by Secured Party.

Collateral. Debtor shall at all times be the sole owner of each and every

respective general financial conditions of Debtor.

     

    4.04               Change in Location,

(b) except as permitted under Section 4.06, move any Equipment or Fixtures
to a location other than those specified in Section 3.02; or (c) change its

insurance against loss, theft, destruction or damage to the Collateral for the
full replacement value thereof, and business interruption, with such insurers as
are acceptable to Secured Party, plus other insurance thereon in the amounts and
against such risks as Secured Party may specify, and promptly deliver an
original copy of each policy to Secured Party, with a standard lender’s loss
payable clause in favor of Secured Party, as well as a clause requiring the
insurer to provide Secured Party at least thirty days’ prior written notice of
the cancellation, expiration, termination or any change in the coverage afforded
under any such policy.

     

    4.06               Disposition of
Collateral. Debtor shall not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral to anyone other than Secured Party, provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -8-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    so long
as no Event of Default has occurred, Equipment may be sold or disposed of if
(a) in the reasonable judgment of Debtor it is obsolete or no longer useful
in the conduct of Debtor’s business; or (b) in the ordinary course of
business, provided that in each
case the proceeds are used to acquire Equipment in substitution or replacement
therefor and the Debtor provides the Secured Party with evidence satisfactory to
the Secured Party that the Secured Party has a valid and enforceable first
priority perfected lien with respect to each such replacement
Equipment.

     

    4.07               Compromise of
Accounts.  Debtor shall not, except in the ordinary course of
business and prior to an Event of Default, grant any extension of time for
payment of any Account or compromise, compound or settle the same for less than
the full amount thereof, or release wholly or partly any person liable for the
payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever
thereon.

     

    4.08               Liens.  Debtor
shall not pledge, grant any liens on, or grant security interests in the
Collateral, other than the Security Interest and Permitted Liens.  The
Collateral shall not at any time be subject to any lien that is prior to, on a
parity with, or junior to the Security Interest, other than Permitted
Liens.

     

    4.09               Covenants Regarding Patent,
Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

     

            (a)    Debtor
will, for each Patent, not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent
which is material to the conduct of Debtor’s business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and shall continue to mark any products covered by a
Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish
and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.

     

            (b)    Debtor
will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of Debtor’s business, (i)
maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or
invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services
offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of
federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not
knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any
third party rights.


            (c)    Debtor
will, for each work covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish,
reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work as necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright
laws.


            (d)    Debtor
shall notify the Secured Party immediately if Debtor knows or has reason to know
that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any business
of Debtor may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any
adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office
of any country) regarding Debtor’s ownership or any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the
same.

            (e)    In no
event shall Debtor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or
designee, file an application for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the
registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any
political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any
political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the Secured Party,
and, upon request of the Secured Party, executes and delivers any and all
agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may
request to evidence the Secured Party’s security interest in such Patent,
Trademark or Copyright of Debtor relating thereto or represented thereby, and
Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party its attorney-in-fact to execute and

            (g)    In the
event that any Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright
material to the conduct of Debtor’s business is believed infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the Debtor promptly shall notify
the Secured Party after Debtor learns thereof and shall, if consistent with good
business judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation, or dilution
and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or

    5.03               Possession of
Collateral.  Secured Party may, at any time and from time to
time, with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter

interference by either Debtor, take physical possession of any items of
Collateral and maintain such possession on either Debtor’s premises or move the
Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as Secured Party shall
choose without being liable to either Debtor on account of any losses, damage or
depreciation that may occur as a result thereof so long as Secured Party shall
not breach the peace, dispose of all or any part of the Collateral on the
premises of such Debtor, require such Debtor to assemble and make available to
Secured Party at the expense of Debtors all or any part of the Collateral at any
place and time designated by Secured Party, or to remove all or any part of the
Collateral from any premises in which any part may be located for the purpose of
effecting sale or other disposition thereof.

Secured Party, or any agent or designee of Secured Party, immediately upon
receipt by Debtor in the identical form received, together with any necessary
endorsements or (ii) immediately deposit them in a separate account maintained

Obligations have been fully satisfied.  Secured Party may appoint such
persons, firms or corporations as, in its sole discretion, it may determine, for

    the
purpose of exercising any powers and taking any action permitted to be exercised
or taken by Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

     

    5.06               No Election of
Remedies. In addition to the foregoing remedies, Secured Party shall have
all of the rights and remedies provided to the Secured Party by the Credit
Agreement and the Related Documents.  No remedy herein conferred upon
Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every
such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
or otherwise.

     

    5.07               No
Marshalling.  Secured Party shall not be required to make any
demand upon or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against either
Debtor or others with respect to the payment of the Obligations, and shall not
be required to marshall the Collateral or to resort to the Collateral in any
particular order and all of the rights of Secured Party hereunder shall be
cumulative.  To the extent that they lawfully may, each Debtor hereby
agrees to waive and does hereby absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish
the benefit and advantage of, and does hereby covenant not to assert against
Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws
now existing or which may hereafter exist which, but for this provision, might
be applicable to any sale made under the judgment, order or decree of any court,
or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement or in respect
of the Collateral.  To the extent they lawfully may, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor hereby agrees that it will not
invoke or utilize any law which might cause delay in, or impede, the enforcement
of Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement, and hereby waives the
same.

     

    5.08               Assembly of
Collateral.  Secured Party may, at its option, demand that
either Debtor forthwith assemble at places selected by Secured Party, whether at
such Debtor’s premises or elsewhere, and each Debtor hereby covenants forthwith
so to assemble at its own expense, such items of the Collateral comprising part
of the Collateral as are designated by Secured Party, and Secured Party shall
have the right to enter upon the premises where such Collateral is located and
take possession of all such Collateral or any part thereof and thereupon such
Debtor’s rights to possession thereof shall absolutely cease and
terminate.  Secured Party may proceed by appropriate court action or
actions either at law or in equity to enforce performance by Debtors of the
applicable covenants and provisions of this Agreement or to recover damages for
the breach thereof.

     

    5.09               Sale.  Any
item of the Collateral may be sold for cash or other value in any number of lots
at public auction or private sale without demand or notice (excepting only that
the Secured Party shall give the Debtor owning such Collateral ten days’ prior
written notice of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after
which a private sale may be made, which notice each Debtor and Secured Party
hereby agree to be reasonable).  At any sale or sales of the
Collateral (except at private sale) Secured Party may bid for and purchase the
whole or any part of the property and rights so sold and, upon compliance with
the terms of such sale, may hold, exploit and dispose of such property and
rights without further accountability to such Debtor except for the proceeds of
such sale or sales.  Debtor will execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, such instruments, documents, registration statements,
assignments, waivers, certificates and affidavits, and supply or cause to be
supplied such further information and take such further action as Secured Party
shall require in connection with such sale.

Proceeds.  The proceeds of all sales and collections hereunder,
and any other moneys (including any cash contained in the Collateral), the
application of which is not otherwise herein provided for, shall be applied as
follows:

      the reasonable costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other
      realization, and all expenses, and advances made or incurred by Secured
      Party in connection therewith;

      of the Obligations; and

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
                                  
      Third, to the payment to
      the Debtors, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
      jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds
      which relate to the Collateral.

            


    

    


    As used
in this Section 5.10, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities and
other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral,
including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or
adjustment of debt of a Debtor or any issuer of or obligor on any of the
Collateral.

     

    5.11               Costs of
Collection.  Debtors shall pay all costs and expenses which may
be incurred by Secured Party with respect thereto, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, and all such sums shall be and become a part of the
Obligations.

     

    5.12               Grant of License to Use
Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.  For the purpose of
enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under Article V
hereof at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise
such rights and remedies, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to either Debtor) to use, license or sub-license any of the
Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by each Debtor, and wherever the same
may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in
which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer
software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof.  The use of such license by the Secured Party shall be
exercised, at the option of the Secured Party, upon the occurrence and the
continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any
license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Secured Party in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Debtor notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default.  The Secured Party agrees to
apply the net proceeds received from any license as provided in Section 5.10
hereof.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    6.01               Other
Remedies.  In addition to and not in lieu of any other right or
remedy Secured Party might have, Secured Party at any time and from time to time
at its election may (but shall not be required to) do or perform or comply with
or cause to be done or performed or complied with anything which Debtors may be
required to do or comply with and Debtors shall reimburse Secured

    Party
upon demand for any cost or expense which Secured Party may incur in such
respect, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

     

    6.02               Course of
Dealing.  No course of dealing between either Debtor or Debtors
and Secured Party shall operate as a waiver of any rights of it under this
Agreement or in respect of the Collateral or the Obligations.  No
delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right under
this Agreement in respect of the Collateral or any Obligations shall operate as
a waiver of such right or any other right hereunder.  A waiver on any
one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to waiver of any right and/or
remedy on any future occasion.  No waiver, amendment to, or other
modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by Secured Party.

     

    6.03               Discharge.  If
Debtors shall absolutely and irrevocably pay in full and satisfy the Obligations
and if all financial arrangements between Debtors and Secured Party shall have
been terminated, then this Agreement and the rights hereby granted shall cease
and be void, and at the request of Debtors, and at its expense, Secured Party
shall release and discharge all the Collateral without recourse against Secured
Party and to that end shall execute and deliver to Debtors, at Debtors’ own
expense, such releases, reassignments, and other documents (or cause the same to
be done) as Debtors shall reasonably request, and Secured Party shall pay over
to Debtors any money and deliver to it any other property then held by it as
Collateral (or cause the same to be done).  The receipt by Debtors of
the Collateral so delivered shall be a complete and full acquittance therefor,
and Secured Party shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or
responsibility therefor.

     

    6.04               Appointment as Attorney and
Agent for Debtors with Respect to Security Interest.  Debtors
hereby irrevocably appoint Secured Party, or any agent or designee of Secured
Party, as their lawful attorney and agent, with full power of substitution, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of each Debtor, such financing
statements, assignments, notices, and other documents and agreements as Secured
Party may deem necessary for the purpose of the creation, perfection,
maintenance, continuation, or enforcement of the Security Interest, under any
applicable law.  Secured Party is hereby authorized to file on behalf
of and in the name of  each Debtor, at Debtors’ expense, such financing
statements, assignments, mortgages, notices, pledges and other documents and
agreements in any appropriate governmental office.  The right is
expressly granted to Secured Party, in its discretion, in those jurisdictions
where the same is permitted, to file one or more financing statements under the
UCC or the comparable uniform commercial code of any other jurisdiction signed
only by Secured Party, naming Debtors as debtor and naming Secured Party, as
secured party and indicating therein the types, or describing the items, of the
Collateral.

     

    6.05               Governing Law, etc.
This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Wisconsin and
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin, except to the
extent that the UCC or the law of state in which the Collateral is located or
deemed located shall apply to the perfection and enforcement of the Security
Interest.  All terms which are used in this Agreement which are
defined in the UCC shall have the same meanings herein as those terms do in the
UCC unless this Agreement shall otherwise specifically provide.  The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

    6.06               Notices. All notices,
demands and communications provided for herein or made hereunder shall be
delivered or mailed in the manner, and to the address for Debtors and Secured
Party set forth in Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement.

     

    6.07               Savings Clause. In
the event that any provision hereof shall be deemed to be invalid by reason of
the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by
any court, this Agreement shall be construed as not containing such provision,
but only as to such locations where such law or interpretation is operative, and
the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of any remaining
provision hereof, and any and all other provisions hereof which are otherwise
lawful and valid shall remain in full force and effect.
