asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain
of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that
the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may
exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect
to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the
Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if a Default has
occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable,
accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in
its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such
action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the
Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the
time it takes any such action.


          8.3.    Secured Party
Performance of Grantor’s Obligations. Without having any
obligation to do so, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default, the Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any
Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and such
Grantor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.3. Each Grantor’s
obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.


          8.4.    Authorization for
Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor
irrevocably, until this Security Agreement is terminated as provided in Section
8.12, authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in
the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent
as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and
to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s
sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the
Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and
collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing
statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file
any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does
not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Collateral Agent
in its sole discretion reasonably deems necessary or desirable to perfect and
to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more
agreements with the issuers of 


17









uncertificated securities
which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with
financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property as may be necessary
or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Securities or other
Investment Property, (v) subject to the terms of Section 4.1.5 hereof,
to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables in the name of
the Collateral Agent or such Grantor, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any
Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Obligations as
provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes,
assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as
are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Senior Creditor
Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand
for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the
Collateral Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization
shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security
Agreement or under the Credit Agreement or the Note Agreement.


          8.5.    Specific
Performance
of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1.5, 4.1.6,
4.4, 5.3, or 8.7 or in Article VII hereof will
cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that
the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of
the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific
performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security
Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections
referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable
against the Grantors.


          8.6.    Use and
Possession
of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to occupy and
use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or
any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured
Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first
occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy.


          8.7.    Dispositions
Not
Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 hereof
and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the
Collateral Agent or other conduct of the Collateral Agent, no authorization to
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section
4.1.5 hereof) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent or the Secured
Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Collateral Agent
with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders (to the extent the
Intercreditor Agreement is not in effect) or the Requisite Secured Parties
(upon the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement).


          8.8.    Benefit of
Agreement.
The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who
become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Grantors
shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations
under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent.


          8.9.    Survival of
Representations. All representations and warranties of the
Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Security Agreement.


          8.10.  Taxes and
Expenses.
Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by a Federal or
State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the
Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantors shall
reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and 


18









accountants’ fees and
reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who
may be employees of the Collateral Agent) paid or incurred by the Collateral
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit,
analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral
(including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special
audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the
Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof
shall be borne solely by the Grantors.


          8.11.   Headings.
The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for
convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any
of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.


          8.12.   Termination.
This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that
from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i)
any and all commitments to extend credit under the Senior Creditor Documents
have terminated and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations (other than (x)
contingent indemnity obligations and (y) Banking Services Obligations and Swap
Obligations, in each case only to the extent the same are not yet due and
payable) have been indefeasibly paid in cash and performed in full and no commitments
of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties which would give rise to any
Secured Obligations, other than Banking Services Obligations and Swap
Obligations, are outstanding.


          8.13.   Entire
Agreement.
This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between
the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings among the Grantors and the Collateral
Agent relating to the Collateral.


          8.14.   Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.


	
 

	
 


	
 

	
           8.14.1
 THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED
 IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


	
 

	
 


	
 

	
           8.14.2
 Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
 its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
 State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States
 District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court
 from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
 this Security Agreement or any other Senior Creditor Document, or for
 recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Grantor hereby
 irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
 action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
 to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Grantor agrees
 that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
 and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
 other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other
 Senior Creditor Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent may
 otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Security
 Agreement or any other Senior Creditor Document against any Grantor or its
 properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.


	
 

	
 


	
 

	
           8.14.3
 Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
 extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now
 or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
 arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Senior
 Creditor Document in any court referred to in Section 8.14.2. 





19









	
 

	
 


	
 

	
Each Grantor hereby
 irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
 inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
 such court.


	
 

	
 


	
 

	
           8.14.4
 Each party to this Security Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
 process in the manner provided for notices in Article IX of this Security
 Agreement, and each of the Grantors hereby appoints the Company as its agent
 for service of process. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other
 Senior Creditor Document will affect the right of any party to this Security
 Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.


	
 

	
 


	
 

	
           8.14.5 WAIVER OF
 JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
 PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
 PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY
 AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SENIOR CREDITOR DOCUMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
 TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH GRANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
 AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER GRANTOR HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
 OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER GRANTOR WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
 SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.





           8.15.   Indemnity.
Each Grantor hereby agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to
indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and their respective
successors, assigns, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and
against any and all liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs, and expenses
of any kind and nature (including, without limitation, all expenses of
litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, or their respective successors,
assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of this
Security Agreement or any other Senior Creditor Document, or the manufacture,
purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation,
condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including,
without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by
the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties or any Grantor, and any claim for
patent, trademark or copyright infringement), provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the
breach by such Indemnitee of its material obligations under the Senior Creditor
Documents.


           8.16.   Subordination
of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Grantor agrees that any and all claims
of such Grantor against any other Grantor (each an “Obligor”) with
respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any
endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured
Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject
in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Secured
Obligations, provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long
as no Default has occurred and is continuing, such Grantor may make loans to
and receive payments in the ordinary course of business with respect to such
Intercompany Indebtedness from each such Obligor to the extent not prohibited
by the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Senior Creditor
Documents. Notwithstanding any right of any Grantor to ask, demand, sue for,
take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security
interests of such Grantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever
existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to
the rights of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent in those assets. No
Grantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose
upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until
this Security Agreement has terminated in accordance with


20









Section 8.12
hereof. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, if all or
any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to
any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor,
whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of
liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit
of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such
Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor
are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as
an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or
character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable
or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any
Grantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered
directly to the Collateral Agent for application on any of the Secured
Obligations, due or to become due, until such Secured Obligations (other than
contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied
(in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds
thereof be received by the applicable Grantor upon or with respect to the
Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the
termination of this Security Agreement in accordance with Section 8.12
hereof, such Grantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form
received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Grantor where
necessary), for application to any of the Secured Obligations, due or not due,
and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Grantor as the
property of the Secured Parties. If any such Grantor fails to make any such
endorsement or assignment to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each
Grantor agrees that until the termination of this Security Agreement in
accordance with Section 8.12 hereof, no Grantor will assign or transfer
to any Person (other than the Collateral Agent or the Company or another
Grantor) any claim any such Grantor has or may have against any Obligor. 


          8.17.   
Severability. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the
remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or
validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the
provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.


          8.18.   Counterparts.
This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Security Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.


ARTICLE IX


NOTICES


          9.1.    Sending
Notices.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall
be sent (and deemed received) in the manner and to the addresses set forth in
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. Any notice delivered to the Company shall
be deemed to have been delivered to all of the Grantors.


          9.2.    Change in
Address

the Lenders may change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in
writing to the other parties.
