SECTION 1. GRANT OF SECURITY.

            In addition to, and not in lieu of, any security interests for the
benefit of Lenders effected pursuant to the Interim Borrowing Order or the Final
Borrowing Order, as applicable, each Grantor hereby assigns to Secured Party,
and hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in, all of such Grantor's
right, title and interest in and to all assets (including all real, personal and
mixed property) of each of the Grantors (or, in the case of Borrowers, all
assets of the estates of each of such Grantors), including, without limitation,
the following, in each case whether now or hereafter existing, whether tangible
or intangible, or in which such Grantor now has or hereafter acquires an
interest and wherever the same may be located and whether or not subject to the
Uniform Commercial Code as it exists on the date of this Agreement, or as it may
hereafter be amended in the State of New York (the "UCC"), including all
Assigned Agreements and the following (the "COLLATERAL"):

            (a) all Accounts;

            (b) all Chattel Paper;

            (c) all Money and all Deposit Accounts, together with all amounts on
deposit from time to time in such Deposit Accounts;

            (d) all Documents;

            (e) all General Intangibles, including all intellectual property,
Payment Intangibles and Software;

            (f) all Goods, including Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures;

            (g) all Instruments;

            (h) all Investment Property;

            (i) all Letter of Credit Rights and other Supporting Obligations;

            (j) all Records;

            (k) all Commercial Tort Claims, including those set forth on
Schedule 1 annexed hereto; and

            (l) all Proceeds and Accessions with respect to any of the foregoing
Collateral.

            Each category of Collateral set forth above shall have the meaning
set forth in the UCC (to the extent such term is defined in the UCC), it being
the intention of Grantors that the

                                       2

<PAGE>

description of the Collateral set forth above be construed to include the
broadest possible range of assets.

            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Collateral include, and no Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a
security interest in (i) any of such Grantor's rights or interests in or under
any license, contract, permit, Instrument, Security or franchise to which such
Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder, to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such
license, contract, permit, Instrument, Security or franchise, result in a breach
of the terms of, or constitute a default under, such license, contract, permit,
Instrument, Security or franchise (other than to the extent that any such term
would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or any other applicable law
(including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity); provided, that
immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such
provision, the Collateral shall include, and such Grantor shall be deemed to
have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such
provision had never been in effect.

            In the event that any asset of a Grantor is excluded from the
Collateral by virtue of the foregoing paragraph, such Grantor agrees to use all
reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents to enable such Grantor to
provide a security interest in such asset pursuant hereto as promptly as
practicable.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral (i) shall include
Equity Interests issued by a Foreign Subsidiary only to the extent that creation
of a security interest by a Grantor in such Equity Interests could not
reasonably be expected to result in material adverse Tax consequences to
Company, it being acknowledged and agreed that the creation of a security
interest in Equity Interests comprising up to but not exceeding 65% of the
voting power of all classes of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary
entitled to vote will not result in such adverse Tax consequences; provided,
that, to the extent a Grantor has previously pledged 65% of the Equity Interests
of such Foreign Subsidiary to The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Collateral Agent,
under that certain First Amended and Restated Borrower Pledge and Security
Agreement dated as of January 8, 2004 or that certain Subsidiary Pledge and
Security Agreement dated as of January 8, 2004 (together, the "Prepetition
Security Agreements"), the Collateral shall only include such Equity Interests
so pledged and (ii) shall not include any rights, recoveries or proceeds related
to Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code with the exception of Section 549 thereof.

SECTION 2. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS.

            This Agreement secures, and the Collateral is collateral security
for, the prompt payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise
(including without limitation the payment of amounts that would become due but
for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code), of all Secured Obligations of each Grantor. "SECURED OBLIGATIONS" means:

            (i) with respect to Borrowers, all obligations and liabilities of
      every nature of Borrowers now or hereafter existing under or arising out
      of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
      Documents; and

                                       3

<PAGE>

            (ii) with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Additional
      Grantor all obligations and liabilities of every nature of such Subsidiary
      Guarantors now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in
      connection with the Subsidiary Guaranty;

            in each case together with all extensions or renewals thereof,
whether for principal, interest (including without limitation interest that, but
for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to such Subsidiary
Guarantor, would accrue on such obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed
against such Subsidiary Guarantor for such interest in the related bankruptcy
proceeding), reimbursement of amounts drawn under Revolving Letters of Credit,
fees, expenses, indemnities or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary,
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether
or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased
or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion
of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part
of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Secured
Party or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and all
obligations of every nature of Grantors now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to be nor shall it be construed
to be a provision of collateral security for any obligation of the Grantors that
arose prior to the date of the Interim Borrowing Order.

SECTION 3. GRANTORS REMAIN LIABLE.

            Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each
Grantor shall remain liable under any contracts, licenses and agreements
included in the Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to perform all of
its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement
had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights
hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations
under the contracts, licenses and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c)
Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any contracts,
licenses, and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement,
nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties
of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim
for payment assigned hereunder.

SECTION 4.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

            Each Grantor represents and warrants as follows:

            (a) OWNERSHIP OF COLLATERAL. Except as expressly permitted by the
Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns the Collateral free and clear of any Lien
and no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect
covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing or recording
office, including any IP Filing Office.

            (b) PERFECTION. The security interests in the Collateral granted to

become due to such Grantor under the Accounts. In connection with such
collections, each Grantor may take (and, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default at Secured Party's direction, shall take)
such action as such Grantor or Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to
enforce collection of amounts due or to become due under the Accounts; provided,
however, that Secured Party shall have the right at any time, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon written
notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to (i) notify the account
debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to
Secured Party and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to Secured
Party, (ii) notify each Person maintaining a lockbox or similar arrangement to
which account debtors or obligors under any Accounts have been directed to make
payment to remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other
payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other
arrangement directly to Secured Party, (iii) enforce collection of any such
Accounts at the expense of Grantors, and (iv) adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such
Grantor might have done. After receipt by such Grantor of the notice from
Secured Party referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (I) all
amounts and proceeds (including checks and other Instruments) received by such
Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form
as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral
and applied as provided by Section 18 hereof, and (II) such Grantor shall not,

                                       10

<PAGE>

without the written consent of Secured Party, adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any account debtor
or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.

SECTION 9. SPECIAL COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES COLLATERAL.

            (a) FORM OF SECURITIES COLLATERAL. Secured Party shall have the
right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or
evidencing Securities Collateral in its possession or control for certificates
or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. If any Securities Collateral
is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, no Grantor shall take
any action that, under such Section, converts such Securities Collateral into a
security without causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or
instruments evidencing such Securities Collateral, which it shall promptly
deliver to Secured Party as provided in this Section 9(a).

            (b) COVENANTS. Each Grantor shall (i) not, except as expressly
permitted by the Credit Agreement, permit any issuer of Pledged Subsidiary
Equity to merge or consolidate unless all the outstanding Equity Interests of
the surviving or resulting Person are, upon such merger or consolidation,
pledged and become Collateral hereunder and no cash, securities or other
property is distributed in respect of the outstanding Equity Interests of any
other constituent corporation; provided, if the surviving or resulting Person
upon any such merger or consolidation involving an issuer of Pledged Subsidiary
Equity is a Foreign Subsidiary, then such Grantor shall only be required to
pledge outstanding capital stock of such surviving or resulting Person
possessing up to but not exceeding 65% of the voting power of all classes of
capital stock of such issuer entitled to vote; (ii) cause each issuer of Pledged
Subsidiary Equity not to issue Equity Interests in addition to or in
substitution for the Pledged Subsidiary Equity issued by such issuer, except to
such Grantor; (iii) immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) of
any Equity Interests, including additional Equity Interests in each issuer of
Pledged Equity, comply with Section 5(b); (iv) immediately upon issuance of any
and all Instruments or other evidences of additional Indebtedness from time to
time owed to such Grantor by any obligor on the Pledged Debt, comply with
Section 5; (v) promptly deliver to Secured Party all written notices received by
it with respect to the Securities Collateral; (vi) at its expense (A) perform
and comply in all material respects with all terms and provisions of any
agreement related to the Securities Collateral required to be performed or
complied with by it, (B) maintain all such agreements in full force and effect
and (C) enforce all such agreements in accordance with their terms; and (vii),
at the request of Secured Party, promptly execute and deliver to Secured Party
an agreement providing for control by Secured Party of all Securities
Entitlements, Securities Accounts, Commodity Contracts and Commodity Accounts of
such Grantor.

            (c) VOTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS. So long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, (i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Securities
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and (ii) each Grantor shall be
entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, other distributions,
principal and interest paid in respect of the Securities Collateral to the
extent permitted under the Credit Agreement; provided, any and all (A)
dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other

                                       11

<PAGE>

than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any
Securities Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in
cash in respect of any Securities Collateral in connection with a partial or
total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
capital surplus or paid-in-surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise
distributed in respect of principal or in redemption of or in exchange for any
Securities Collateral shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Secured
Party to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received
for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other property or funds
of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to Secured Party as Collateral in the
same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements).

            Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, (x) all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant
hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured
Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other
consensual rights; (y) except as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement,
all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions,
principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to
receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right
to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, other distributions, principal
and interest payments; and (z) all dividends, principal, interest payments and
other distributions which are received by such Grantor contrary to the
provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph or clause (y)
above shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to
Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsements).

            In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to
receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to
receive hereunder, (I) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend
payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time
request, and (II) without limiting the effect of clause (I) above, each Grantor
hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity
and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a
holder of the Pledged Equity would be entitled (including giving or withholding
written consents of shareholders or other holders of Equity Interests, calling
special meetings of shareholders or other holders of Equity Interests and voting
at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the
necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Equity on the
record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of
the Pledged Equity or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full
in cash of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination of all Revolving
Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the satisfactory cash
collateralization (as determined by Secured Party) of all Revolving Letters of
Credit and other letters of credit issued or maintained in connection therewith.

SECTION 10. SPECIAL COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
            COLLATERAL.

            (a) Each Grantor shall:

                  (i) use reasonable efforts so as not to permit the inclusion
      in any contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision
      that could or might in any way impair or prevent the creation of a
      security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor's rights and
      interests in any property included within the definitions of any
      Intellectual Property Collateral acquired under such contracts;

                  (ii) take any and all reasonable steps to protect the secrecy
      of all trade secrets relating to the products and services sold or
      delivered under or in connection with the Intellectual Property
      Collateral, including, without limitation, where appropriate entering into
      confidentiality agreements with employees and labeling and restricting
      access to secret information and documents;

                  (iii) use proper statutory notice in connection with its use
      of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral and products and services
      covered by the Intellectual Property Collateral; and

                  (iv) use a commercially appropriate standard of quality (which
      may be consistent with such Grantor's past practices) in the manufacture,
      sale and delivery of products and services sold or delivered under or in
      connection with the Trademarks.

            (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, each Grantor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any
portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take
(and, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
at Secured Party's reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor
or Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of such amounts; provided, Secured Party shall have the right at any
time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to
notify the obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the
security interest created hereby and to direct such obligors to make payment of
all such amounts directly to Secured Party, and, upon such notification and at
the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner
and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) all amounts and proceeds
(including checks and other Instruments) received by each Grantor in respect of
amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral
or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured
Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall
be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 18 hereof and (ii) such Grantor shall not adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly
or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount
thereon.

            (c) Each Grantor shall have the duty diligently, through counsel
reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, to prosecute, file and/or make, unless
and until such Grantor, in its

                                       13

<PAGE>

commercially reasonable judgment, decides otherwise, (i) any application for
registration relating to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral owned, held
or used by such Grantor and set forth on Schedules 8, 9 or 10 annexed hereto, as
applicable, that is pending as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) any Copyright
Registration on any existing or future unregistered but copyrightable works
(except for works of nominal commercial value or with respect to which such
Grantor has determined in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment
that it shall not seek registration), (iii) any application on any future
patentable but unpatented innovation or invention comprising Intellectual
Property Collateral, and (iv) any Trademark opposition and cancellation
proceedings, renew Trademark Registrations and Copyright Registrations and do
any and all acts which are necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain all
rights in all Intellectual Property Collateral. Any expenses incurred in
connection therewith shall be borne solely by Grantors. Subject to the
foregoing, each Grantor shall give Secured Party prior written notice of any
abandonment of any Intellectual Property Collateral.

            (d) Except as provided herein, each Grantor shall have the right to
commence and prosecute in its own name, as real party in interest, for its own
benefit and at its own expense, such suits, proceedings or other actions for
infringement, unfair competition, dilution, misappropriation or other damage, or
reexamination or reissue proceedings as are necessary to protect the
Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly, following its
becoming aware thereof, notify Secured Party of the institution of, or of any
adverse determination in, any proceeding (whether in an IP Filing Office or any
federal, state, local or foreign court) or regarding such Grantor's ownership,
right to use, or interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor
shall provide to Secured Party any information with respect thereto requested by
Secured Party.

            (e) In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of
a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, hereby
assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party the nonexclusive right and
license to use all Trademarks, tradenames, Copyrights, Patents or technical
processes (including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property Collateral)
owned or used by such Grantor that relate to the Collateral and any other
collateral granted by such Grantor as security for the Secured Obligations,
together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to
enable Secured Party to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this
Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy
the benefits of the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit of all
successors, assigns and transferees of Secured Party and its successors, assigns
and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment,
transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and
license shall be granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary
payment whatsoever be made to such Grantor.

SECTION 11. SPECIAL PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ASSIGNED AGREEMENTS.

            (a) Each Grantor shall at its expense:

                  (i) if consistent with sound business practices, perform and
            observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be
            performed or observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreements in
            full force and effect, enforce the

                                       14

<PAGE>

            Assigned Agreements in accordance with such Grantor's customary
            business practice, and

                  (ii) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
            Default and upon the request of Secured Party, furnish to Secured
            Party, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of all notices,
            requests and other documents received by such Grantor under or
            pursuant to the Assigned Agreements, and from time to time (A)
            furnish to Secured Party such information and reports regarding the
            Assigned Agreements as Secured Party may reasonably request and (B)
            upon request of Secured Party make to the parties to such Assigned
            Agreements such demands and requests for information and reports or
            for action as such Grantor is entitled to make under the Assigned
            Agreements.

            (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, no Grantor shall, without prior Bankruptcy Court approval:

                  (i) cancel or terminate any of the Assigned Agreements or
            consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;

                  (ii) amend or otherwise modify the Assigned Agreements or give
            any consent, waiver or approval thereunder;

                  (iii) waive any default under or breach of the Assigned
            Agreements;

                  (iv) consent to or permit or accept any prepayment of amounts
            to become due under or in connection with the Assigned Agreements,
            except as expressly provided therein; or

                  (v) take any other action in connection with the Assigned
            Agreements that could reasonably be expected to materially impair
            the value of the interest or rights of such Grantor thereunder or
            that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the interest
            or rights of Secured Party.

SECTION 12. SPECIAL PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS.

            Secured Party is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at its
offices restricted deposit accounts and restricted securities accounts which
shall be in the names of Grantors and under the sole dominion and control of
Secured Party (the "COLLATERAL Accounts"). Each Grantor agrees that from time to
time, at the expense of Grantors, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver
account control agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party
and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured
Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby in such accounts or to enable
Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any such accounts.

                                       15

<PAGE>

SECTION 13. SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

            Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such
Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time
to time in Secured Party's discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

            (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such
Grantor or paid to Secured Party pursuant to the Credit Agreement;

            (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Collateral;

            (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other Instruments,
Documents, Chattel Paper and other documents in connection with clauses (a) and
(b) above;

            (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce or protect the rights of Secured Party with
respect to any of the Collateral;

            (e) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted
under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) 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 Secured Party in its
sole discretion, any such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations
of such Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand;

            (f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of
lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents
relating to the Collateral; and

            (g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, 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
Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
Secured Party's option and Grantors' expense, at any time or from time to time,
all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein in
order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.

SECTION 14. SECURED PARTY MAY PERFORM.

            If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein,
Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of (but shall not be
obligated to perform or cause the performance of), such agreement, and the
expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
Grantors under Section 19(b) hereof.

                                       16

<PAGE>

SECTION 15. STANDARD OF CARE.

            The powers conferred on Secured Party 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 exercise of reasonable care in the
custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys
actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no 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. Secured Party
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own
property.

SECTION 16. REMEDIES.

            (a) GENERALLY. If any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, 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) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party
and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured
Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the
property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or
without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral,
store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems
appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor's premises or place custodians
in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any
of such Grantor's equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process,
taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any
Secured Obligation, (v) 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 Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise
dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any
Deposit Account maintained with Secured Party or any Lender and provide
instructions directing the disposition of funds in Deposit Accounts not
maintained with Secured Party or any Lender and (vii) provide entitlement orders
with respect to Security Entitlements and other Investment Property constituting
a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or
register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the
Securities Collateral or exercise any and all voting rights in connection
therewith pursuant to Section 9 hereof or otherwise. Secured Party or any Lender
(subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) may be the purchaser of any or
all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as agent for and
representative of Lenders (but not any Lender in its individual capacity unless
Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the
purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and
apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser

                                       17

<PAGE>

at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or
right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to
such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which
any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured
Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private 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 to which it was
so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable
for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to
collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Secured
Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has
occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior
to their stated maturities.

            (b) Securities Collateral.

                  (i) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain
            prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
            securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any
            sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted
            without prior registration or qualification of such Securities
            Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities
            laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
            things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account,
            for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
            thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may
            be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable
            through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public
            offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the
            Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each
            Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have
            been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party
            shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation
            to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of
            time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a
            form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act
            or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer
            would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party
            determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
            Securities Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and

            information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the
            number of shares and other instruments included in the Securities
            Collateral which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions
            under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
            Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from
            time to time in effect.

                  (ii) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to
            sell all or any of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this
            Section, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party
            (which request may be made by Secured Party in its sole discretion),
            such Grantor will, at its own expense (A) execute and deliver, and
            cause each issuer of the Securities Collateral contemplated to be
            sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver,
            all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all
            such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion

            under the provisions of the Securities Act and to cause the
            registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to
            remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law
            to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto
            and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Secured
            Party, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
            requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
            the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto; (B) use
            its best efforts to qualify the Securities Collateral under all
            applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to obtain all
            necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Securities
            Collateral, as requested by Secured Party; (C) cause each such
            issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as
            practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions
            of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; (D) do or cause to be done
            all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale
            of the Securities Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding

            expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, of carrying out its
            obligations under this Section.

                  (iii) Without limiting the generality of subsections 10.2 and
            10.3 of the Credit Agreement, in the event of any public sale
            described herein, each Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
            Secured Party, and each Lender and each of their respective
            directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any loss,
            fee, cost, expense, damage, liability or claim, joint or several, to
            which any such Persons may become subject or for which any of them
            may be liable, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
            such losses, fees, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims
            (or any litigation commenced or threatened in respect thereof) arise
            out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
            statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
            prospectus, registration statement, prospectus or other such
            document published or filed in connection with such public sale, or
            any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
            upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
            fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
            statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Secured Party
            and such other Persons

                                       19

<PAGE>

            for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Secured Party
            and such other Persons in connection with any litigation, of any
            nature whatsoever, commenced or threatened in respect thereof
            (including any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever
            reasonably incurred by Secured Party and such other Persons and
            counsel for Secured Party and such other Persons in investigating,
            preparing for, defending against or providing evidence, producing
            documents or taking any other action in respect of, any such
            commenced or threatened litigation or any claims asserted). This
            indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which any Grantor
            may otherwise have and shall extend upon the same terms and
            conditions to each Person, if any, that controls Secured Party or
            such Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act.

            (c) COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Company shall, as and when required under the Credit Agreement, pay
to Secured Party all amounts provided for in Section 8 thereof (including,
without limitation, any amounts to be held in a collateral account as cash
collateral for undrawn Revolving Letters of Credit).

            (d) REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO BORROWERS. Furthermore, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may
revoke Borrowers' rights to use cash collateral in which Secured Party has an
interest; provided that, any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to the foregoing, Secured
Party shall give Credit Parties and counsel to any official committees in
respect of the Chapter 11 Cases and the office of the United States Trustee five
Business Days prior written notice (which notice shall be delivered by facsimile
or overnight courier) of the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to
the Collateral and file a copy of such notice with the clerk of the Bankruptcy
Court. Neither Secured Party nor Lenders shall have any obligation of any kind
to make a motion or application to the Bankruptcy Court to exercise their rights
and remedies set forth or referred to in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended
to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the

not alternative. Borrowers waive (i) presentment, demand and protest and notice
of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts,
contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties or other
property at any time held by Secured Party or Lenders on which Loan Parties may
in any way be liable and hereby ratify and confirm whatever Secured Party and
Lenders may lawfully do in this regard, (ii) subject to the notice provisions of
the preceding paragraph, all rights to notice and hearing prior to Secured
Party's taking possession or control of, or to Secured Party's or Lenders'
reply, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral, or any bond or security which
might be required by any court prior to allowing Secured Party or Lenders to
exercise any of their remedies, and (iii) the benefit of all valuation,
appraisal and exemption laws. Borrowers acknowledge they have been advised by
counsel of their choice with respect to the effect of the foregoing waivers and
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Secured
Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name
of any Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, to enforce any Intellectual Property
Collateral, in which event each Grantor shall, at the request of Secured Party,
do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Secured
Party in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand,
reimburse and indemnify Secured Party as provided in subsections 10.2 and 10.3
of the Credit Agreement and Section 19 hereof, as applicable, in connection with
the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that Secured
Party shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property
Collateral as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all
reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to
prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by
others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment
in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing
reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from
Secured Party, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party an
assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other
documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes
of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or
recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to
the extent that Secured Party (or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect
of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property Collateral;
and (iv) within five Business Days after written notice from Secured Party, each
Grantor shall make available to Secured Party, to the extent within such
Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's employ on the
date of such Event of Default as Secured Party may reasonably designate, by
name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly
or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or
delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark
Registrations and Trademark Rights, such persons to be available to perform
their prior functions on Secured Party's behalf and to be compensated by Secured
Party at such Grantor's expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with

of Default.

            (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of
cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing,
(ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an
assignment to Secured Party of any rights, title and interests in and to the
Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the
Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the
written request of any Grantor, Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver
to such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor
any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Secured Party
as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by
Secured Party; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, Secured
Party's security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights
and remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full
force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any)
encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to
Secured Party and Liens permitted under subsection 7.2A of the Credit Agreement.

            Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all

or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as
provided in subsections 2.4A and 2.4C of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 19. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.

            (a) Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party
and each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in
any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation enforcement of
this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result
solely from Secured Party's or such Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

            (b) Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party
upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that
Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this
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

the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

            (c) The obligations of Grantors in this Section 19 shall (i) survive
the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors' other
obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and (ii) as to any Grantor that is a party to a Subsidiary Guaranty,
be subject to the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.

SECTION 20. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF REVOLVING LOANS;
            TERMINATION AND RELEASE.

            (a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment
in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of
the Revolving Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding
Revolving Letters of Credit, (ii) be binding upon Grantors and their respective
successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies
of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(iii), but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement,
any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Revolving Loans held by it to
any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise.

            (b) Upon the payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, the
cancellation or termination of the Revolving Commitments and the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit, the security interest
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
the applicable Grantors. Upon any such termination

                                       22

<PAGE>

Secured Party will, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such
documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In
addition, upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any
Collateral by a Grantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement for which such
Grantor desires to obtain a security interest release from Secured Party, such
Grantor shall deliver an Officer's Certificate (x) stating that the Collateral
subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of
in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y) specifying the
Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the proposed
transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer's Certificate and so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the
proposed disposition of the Collateral and so long as the Proceeds from such
disposition are applied in accordance with the Loan Documents, Secured Party
shall, at Grantor's expense, so long as Secured Party has no reason to believe
that the Officer's Certificate delivered by such Grantor with respect to such
sale is not true, correct and complete, execute and deliver such releases of its
security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or
disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor.

SECTION 21. SECURED PARTY AS AGENT.

            (a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party
hereunder by Lenders. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right
hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that Secured
Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in
Section 16 hereof in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders.

            (b) Secured Party hereunder shall at all times be the same Person
that is Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of
resignation by Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 9.6 of the Credit
Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under
this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to
subsection 9.6 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a
successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Collateral Agent under subsection 9.6 of the Credit Agreement by
a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring Secured
Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured
Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder,
together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party
under this Agreement, and (ii) execute (if necessary) and deliver to such
successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such
other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created
hereunder, whereupon such retiring Secured Party shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral
Agent's resignation hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.

SECTION 22. ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.

            In accordance at all times with subsections 6.8A and 6.8D of the
Credit Agreement, any Subsidiary of Company which is not a party hereto may
become a party hereto as a Subsidiary Guarantor or as a Borrower, respectively,
by executing a Counterpart substantially in the form of Exhibit VI annexed
hereto, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become (i) in the case of a Subsidiary
which is not a party hereto and is the subject of subsection 6.8A of the Credit
Agreement, a Grantor with the obligations and liabilities of a Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder, and (ii) in the case of a Subsidiary which becomes a
Borrower under the Credit Agreement pursuant to subsection 6.8D thereof or
otherwise, a Grantor with the obligations and liabilities of a Borrower
hereunder. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Secured Party, notice of
which is hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a
Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were
an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations
arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release
of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to
cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This
Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party
hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or
ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

SECTION 23. AMENDMENTS; ETC.

            No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by
Grantors; provided that this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a
Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 22 hereof and
Grantors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such
amendment. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

SECTION 24. NOTICES.

            Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be
given shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile

with respect to any notice, request, agreement, waiver, amendment or other
document or any notice that is intended to have binding effect may be sent by
electronic mail.

SECTION 25. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

            No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of
any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or
privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

SECTION 26. SEVERABILITY.

            In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 27. HEADINGS.
