                                                                    Provo, Utah

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Sonicport, Inc. a Nevada
corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of Red Rock Bridge Fund,
LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and its successors and assigns
("Holder"), at such place within the United States as Holder may designate to
Maker in writing from time to time, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($165,000), together with interest thereon from the date of
disbursement until paid and other amounts as provided herein.

         1. INTEREST AND PAYMENTS.

                  1.1. INTEREST RATE. Maker promises to pay interest from and
including January 10, 2002 through and including the Maturity Date, as defined
below, on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of twelve
percent (12.00%) compounded annually (the "Note Rate"). Upon the occurrence of
an event of default under this Note, the unpaid principal amount shall
immediately and without notice bear interest at the per annum rate of 5% plus
the Note Rate. The Maturity Date for purposes of this Note shall be July 10,
2002, unless this Note is converted into Maker Stock of Maker as provided below,
in which case the Maturity Date shall be the effective date of such conversion.
The time period beginning on the date first set forth above and ending on the
Maturity Date is referred to herein as the term hereof.

                  1.2. INTEREST PAYMENTS. Interest accruing hereon shall be paid
upon the execution of this Note. Any unpaid interest shall be added to the
principal balance on the date such interest is due and shall be subject to the
interest rate set out in Paragraph 1.1.

                  1.3. ORIGINATION FEE. Maker shall pay to Holder an origination
fee of 5% ($8,250) upon execution of this Note.

                  1.4. PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT. The principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable in full in a lump sum payment on the Maturity Date
unless this Note is converted into Maker Stock of Maker as provided below, in
which case the conversion shall be deemed to constitute payment in full of all
principal and interest owed Holder under this Note without any further payment
or action by Maker. To the extent that all other amounts owed Maker under this
Note have not been paid in full or deemed paid in full by the Maturity Date, all
such other amounts owed hereunder shall also be due and payable on the Maturity
Date, without necessity of Holder's making demand therefor.

                  1.5. CONVERSION TO MAKER STOCK. At any time after the date
hereof until the Maturity Date, this Note shall, at the election of Holder, be
convertible into Maker's Common Stock ("Maker Stock"). If the Holder elects to
exercise its option to convert this Note to Maker

                                       1
<PAGE>

Stock, Holder shall provide written notice of its election to Maker, and shall
surrender this Note to Maker. Maker shall then immediately convert the
outstanding principal amount of this Note (together with all accrued and unpaid
interest) into that number of shares of common stock of Sonicport, Inc.
determined by dividing the total amount of the principal and interest to be
converted by $0.24(1). Such shares of Maker Stock shall be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall have the same rights and
preferences as those of the other purchasers of the Maker Stock of Maker.

                  1.6. PLACE AND TIME OF PAYMENT. All payments specified herein
shall be deemed made when actually received by Holder. All payments shall be
made to Holder 1464 W. 40 S. Suite #100, Lindon,,UT 84042-1629, and shall be
made without offset and without prior notice or demand.

                  1.7. FORM AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Payments shall be in
lawful money of the United States of America and when received by Holder shall
be applied first to cost or fees incurred in the collection of this note, second
to accrued interest, third upon the portion of the principal balance then dues,
if any, and fourth as a principal payment.

                  1.8. PREPAYMENT. Subject to Holder's unilateral right to
convert the principal and interest of this Note into Maker Stock, this Note may
be prepaid in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without premium
or penalty.

         2. DEFAULT. Time is of the essence of this Note. A default shall occur
if:

                  2.1. FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENTS. Maker fails to make any payment
under this Note on the date due.

                  2.2. OTHER FAILURES. Maker fails to perform any other
obligation contained in this Note or breaches any covenant contained in any
instrument securing payment hereof within ten days after notice from Holder

                  2.3. BANKRUPTCY. Maker becomes insolvent, a receiver is
appointed to take possession of all or a substantial part of Maker's properties,
Maker makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or files a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or Maker is the subject of an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy that is not dismissed within 60 days. For purposes of this Section
2.3, the term "Maker," as used herein, shall be deemed to include each person or
entity who is a maker, co-maker or guarantor of this Note, and (c) if this Note
is secured by a pledge of any other obligation, the term "Maker," as used
herein, includes any party obligated on such other promissory note or other
obligation or any guaranty or letter of assurances in connection therewith.

any one or more of the following steps:

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         This SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made effective as of
December 18, 2001 ("Effective Date") by and between Sonicport, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Borrower"), and those individuals listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto and incorporated herein (collectively "Lenders" or individually a
"Lender").

         Lenders previously collectively loaned to Borrower the sum of One
Million Seven Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($1,775,000) pursuant to
those six (6) certain Convertible Promissory Notes listed on Exhibit B attached
hereto and incorporated herein (collectively the "Notes" or individually a
"Note"). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the transactions by which the
Notes were issued by Borrower to Lenders, the Notes were to have been secured by
a lien upon and security interest in all of the assets of Borrower pursuant to
Security Agreements that were to have been executed and delivered by Borrower to
each Lender at the time of issuance by Borrower of each Note to a Lender.
However, said Security Agreements were inadvertently never delivered by Borrower
to the Lenders, and Borrower is, as of the Effective Date, now in payment of
certain payments due to Lenders under the Notes, which default constitutes and
"Event of Default" as defined in the Notes. In order to (a) satisfy Borrower's
obligation to Lenders to execute and deliver to each Lender a Security Agreement
granting to each Lender a lien upon and security interest in all of Borrower's
assets to secure Borrower's obligations to Lenders under the Notes, and (b)
induce Lenders to enter into that certain Forbearance Agreement of even date
herewith (the "Forbearance Agreement") and forbear from accelerating all sums
due to Lenders under the Notes and pursue other remedies available to Lenders
under the Notes as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (c)
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Borrower has agreed to execute and deliver to Lenders
this Security Agreement and to pledge and grant to Lenders hereby a security
interest in and lien upon the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) as security
for the Secured Obligations (as hereinafter defined) due to Lenders under the
Notes, and Lenders have agreed to accept the security interests created by this
Agreement. Accordingly, Borrower and Lenders hereby agree as follows:

         2.02 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. For the purpose of enabling the Lenders to
exercise their rights, remedies, powers and privileges under Section 6 at such
time or times as the Lenders shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights,
remedies, powers and privileges, and for no other purpose, Borrower hereby
grants to Lenders, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to
Borrower) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property
of Borrower, together with reasonable access to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for
the compilation or printout of such items.

         2.03 PERFECTION. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, as may be necessary and to the extent reasonably requested by
Lenders, Borrower shall (i) file such financing statements and other documents

deem necessary or appropriate to perfect, and establish the priority of, the
Liens granted by this Agreement in such Stock Collateral;

licensee or other designee, of any application with any Governmental Person for

after the Effective Date, execute and deliver such contracts, agreements and
other instruments as Lenders may request to evidence, validate, perfect and
establish the priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement in such and any
related Intellectual Property and, if requested by Lenders' Agent, amend Annexes
2, 3 or 4 (as the case may be) to reflect the inclusion of any such Intellectual
Property as part of the Collateral (it being understood that the failure to
amend any such Annex shall not affect the Liens granted by this Agreement on any
such Intellectual Property); and

         (e) give, execute, deliver, file or reword any and all financing
statements, notices, contracts, agreements or other instruments, obtain any and
all Governmental Approvals and take any and all steps that may be necessary or
as Lenders' Agent may request to create, perfect, establish the priority of, or
to preserve the validity, perfection or priority (subject only to such permitted
Liens) of, the Liens granted by this Agreement or to enable Lenders to exercise
and enforce Lenders' rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this
Agreement with respect to such Liens, including causing any or all of the Stock
Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of Lenders' Agent or its
nominee, PROVIDED that notices to account debtors in respect of any Accounts or
Instruments shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.02.

         2.05 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:

         (a) Subject to the rights of Borrower under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08
and 2.09, Lenders are each hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for

<PAGE>

         (b) Without limiting the rights and powers of Lenders under Section
2.05(a), if Lenders are unable for any reason to secure Borrower's signature for
the purpose of executing and filing all such contracts, agreements and other
documents as are contemplated by Section 2.04(d), Borrower hereby appoints each
Lender as its attorney-in-fact, effective the Effective Date and terminating
upon the termination of this Agreement, for the purpose of executing and filing
all such contracts, agreements and other documents as are contemplated by
Section 2.04(e). This appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled
with an interest.

         2.06 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO STOCK COLLATERAL.

         (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and
other powers of ownership pertaining to the Stock Collateral for all purposes
not inconsistent with the terms of any Basic Document, PROVIDED that Borrower
agrees that it will not vote the Stock Collateral in any manner that is
inconsistent with the terms of any Basic Document; and Lenders' Agent shall, at
Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to Borrower or cause to be executed and
delivered to Borrower all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other
orders and other instruments, without recourse, as Borrower may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling Borrower to exercise its rights and powers
which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 2.06(a).

         (b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends on
the Stock Collateral paid in cash out of earned surplus.

         (c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and
whether or not Lenders exercise any available right to declare any Secured
Obligation due and payable or seek or pursues any other right, remedy, power or
privilege available to them under applicable law, this Agreement or any other
Basic Document, all dividends and other distributions on the Stock Collateral
shall be paid directly to Lenders' Agent and retained in a segregated account as
part of the Stock Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if
Lenders' Agent shall so request, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to
Lenders and Lenders' Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and
other orders and instruments to that end, PROVIDED that if such Event of Default
is cured, any such dividend or distribution paid to Lenders prior to such cure
shall, upon request of Borrower (except to the extent applied to the Secured
Obligations), be returned by Lenders to Borrower.

         2.07 USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Subject to such action not otherwise
constituting a Default and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Borrower will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect,
license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect
to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of Borrower.
In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and he continuing, Lenders shall from time to time, upon the request
of, and at the expense of, Borrower, execute and deliver any instruments,
certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which Borrower shall
have certified are appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it to take any action
permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to
Section 2.02 as to any specific Intellectual Property). The exercise of rights,
remedies, powers and privileges under Section 5 by Lenders shall not terminate
the rights of the holders of any

                                       8
<PAGE>

licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by Borrower in accordance with the
first sentence of this Section 2.07.

         2.08 INSTRUMENTS. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Borrower may retain for collection in the ordinary course of
business any Instruments obtained by it in the ordinary course of business, and
Lenders shall, promptly upon the request of, and at the expense of, Borrower,
make appropriate arrangements for making any Instruments pledged by Borrower
available to Borrower for purposes of presentation, collection or renewal. Any
such arrangement shall be effected, to the extent deemed appropriate by Lenders,
against a trust receipt or like document.

         2.09 USE OF COLLATERAL. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall, in addition to its rights
contemplated under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.08 in respect of the Collateral, be
entitled to use and possess the other Collateral and to exercise its rights,
title and interest in all contracts, agreements, licenses and Governmental
Approvals, subject to the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Lenders and
Lenders' Agent under Sections 3 and 6 and to such use, possession or exercise
not otherwise constituting a Default.

         2.10 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

         (a) Borrower shall remain liable to perform its duties and obligations
under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral in accordance with
their respective terms to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been
executed and delivered. The exercise by Lenders of any right, remedy, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement shall not release Borrower from any of
its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements. Neither Lenders
nor Lenders' Agent shall have any duty, obligation or liability under such
contracts and agreements or in respect to any Governmental Approval included in
the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, nor
shall Lenders or Lenders' Agent be obligated to perform any of the duties or
obligations of Borrower under any such contract or agreement or any such
Governmental Approval or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim (for
payment) under any such contract or agreement or Governmental Approval.

         (b) No Lien granted by this Agreement in Borrower's right, title and
interest in any contract, agreement or Governmental Approval shall be deemed to
be a consent by Lenders to any such contract, agreement or Governmental
Approval.

         (c) No reference in this Agreement to proceeds or to the sale or other
disposition of Collateral shall authorize Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by the
terms of any Basic Document.

         (d) Neither Lenders nor Lenders' Agent shall be required to take steps
necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any part of the
Collateral.

         2.11 TERMINATION. When all Secured Obligations shall have been
satisfied in full and the commitments shall have expired or been terminated,
this Agreement shall terminate, Lenders and Lenders' Agent shall forthwith cause
to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any
recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining

                                       9
<PAGE>

Collateral and money received in prospect of the Collateral, to or on the order
of Borrower and to be released, canceled and granted back all license and rights
referred to in Section 2.02. Lenders and Lenders' Agent shall also execute and
deliver to Borrower upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably
requested by Borrower to effect the termination and release of the Liens granted
by this Agreement on the Collateral.

         Section 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         As of the Effective Date, Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders
as follows:

         3.01 TITLE. Borrower is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral in
which it purports to grant a Lien pursuant to this Agreement, and such
Collateral is free and clear of all Liens (and, with respect to the Stock
Collateral, of any equity rights in favor of any other Person). Upon their
filing or transfer of possession to Lenders or Lenders' Agent, the Liens granted
by this Agreement in favor of the Lenders will attach and constitute a perfected
security interest in all of such Collateral (other than Intellectual Property
registered or otherwise located outside of the United States of America) prior
to all other Liens.

         3.02 PLEDGED STOCK.

         (a) The Pledged Stock evidenced by the certificates identified in Annex
1 is duly authorized, validly existing, fully paid and nonassessable, and none
of such Pledged Stock is subject to any contractual restriction, or any
restriction under the charter or by-laws of the respective Issuer of such
Pledged Stock, upon the transfer of such Pledged Stock.

         (b) The Pledged Stock evidenced by the certificates identified in Annex
1 constitutes all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of any
class of the Issuers beneficially owned by Borrower on the Effective Date
(whether or not registered in the name of Borrower), and Annex 1 correctly
identifies, as at the Effective Date, the respective Issuers of such Pledged
Stock, the respective class and par value of the shares comprising such Pledged
Stock and the respective number of (and registered owners of) the shares
evidenced by each such certificate.

         3.03 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

         (a) Annex 2 attached hereto and incorporated herein set forth
completely and correctly all Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks owned by
Borrower on the Effective Date; except pursuant to licenses and other user
agreements entered into by Borrower in the ordinary course of business and
listed in Annex 3, Borrower owns and possesses the right to use, and has done
nothing to authorize or enable any other Person to use, any Copyright, Patent or
Trademark listed in Annex 2; all registrations listed in Annex 2 are valid and
in full force and effect; and, except as may be set forth in Annex 3, Borrower
owns and possesses the right to use all Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks
listed in Annex 2.

         (b) Annex 3 sets forth completely and correctly all licensee and other
user agreements included in the Intellectual Property on the Effective Date;

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (c) To Borrower's knowledge, (i) except as set forth in Annex 3, there
is no violation by others of any right of Borrower with respect to any
Copyright, Patent or Trademark listed in Annex 2 and (ii) Borrower is not
infringing in any respect upon any Copyright, Patent or Trademark of any other
Person; and no proceedings have been instituted are pending against Borrower or,
to Borrower's knowledge, have been threatened against, and no claim has been
received by, Borrower, alleging any such violation, except as may be set forth
in Annex 3.

         (d) Borrower does not own any Trademarks registered in the United
States of America to which the last sentence of the definition of Trademark
Collateral applies.

         Section 4. COVENANTS.

         4.01 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower shall:

         (a) keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral
and stamp or otherwise mark such books and records in such manner as Lenders may
reasonably require in order to reflect the Liens granted by this Agreement;

         (b) furnish to Lenders' Agent from time to time (but, unless a Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, no more frequently than quarterly),
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Copyright
Collateral, the Patent Collateral and the Trademark Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Copyright Collateral, the Patent Collateral and
the Trademark Collateral, as Lenders may reasonably request, all in reasonable
detail;

         (c) prior to filing, either directly or through an agent, licensee or
other designee, any application for any Copyright, Patent or Trademark, furnish
to Lenders' Agent prompt notice of such proposed filing; and

         (d) permit representatives of Lenders, upon reasonable notice, at any
time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from its books
and records pertaining to the Collateral, permit representatives of Lenders to
be present at Borrower's place of business to receive copies of all
communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and forward copies of
any notices or communications received by Borrower with respect to the
Collateral, all in such manner as the Lenders may request.

         4.02 REMOVALS, ETC. Without at least 30 days' prior written notice to
Lenders' Agent, Borrower shall not (i) maintain any of its books and records
with respect to the Collateral at any office or maintain its principal place of
business at any place, or permit any Inventory or Equipment to be located
anywhere, other than at the address initially indicated for notices to it under
Section 6, or (ii) change its corporate name, or the name under which it does
business, from the name shown on the signature pages to this Agreement.

         4.03 SALES AND OTHER LIENS. Without the prior written consent of
Lenders, Borrower shall not dispose of any Collateral, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien upon any Collateral or file or suffer to be on file or
authorize to be filed, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like
instrument with respect to all or any part of the Collateral in which Lenders
are not named as the secured parties for Lenders' benefit alone.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         4.04 STOCK COLLATERAL. Borrower will cause the Stock Collateral to
constitute at all times 100% of the total number of shares of each class of
capital stock of each Issuer then outstanding. Borrower shall cause all such
shares to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
to be free of any contractual restriction or any restriction under the charter
or bylaws of the respective Issuer of such Stock Collateral, upon the transfer
of such Stock Collateral.

         4.05 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

         (a) Borrower (either itself or through licensees) will, for each
Trademark, (i) to the extent consistent with past practice and good business
judgment, continue to use such Trademark on each and every trademark class of
goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs,
brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in full force and
effect free from any claim of abandonment for nonuse, (ii) maintain as in the
past the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii)
employ such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and (iv) not
(and not permit any licensee or sublicensee to) do any act or knowingly omit to
do any act whereby any Trademark material to the conduct of its business may
become invalidated.

         (b) Borrower (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act
or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Patent material to the conduct of
its business may become abandoned or dedicated.

         (c) Borrower shall notify Lenders' Agent immediately if it knows or has
reason to know that any Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its
business may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or
development (including the institution of, or any such determination or
development in, any proceeding before any Governmental Person) regarding
Borrower's ownership of any Intellectual Property material to its business, its
right to copyright, patent or register the same (as the case may be), or its
right to keep, use and maintain the same.

         (d) Borrower will take all necessary steps that are consistent with
good business practices in any proceeding before any appropriate Governmental
Person to maintain and pursue each application relating to any Intellectual
Property (and to obtain the relevant registrations) and to maintain each
registration material to the conduct of its business, including payment of
maintenance fees, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation
proceedings.

         (e) In the event that any Intellectual Property material to the conduct
of its business is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party,
Borrower shall notify Lenders' Agent within (10) days after it learns of such
event and shall, if consistent with good business practice, promptly sue for
infringement, misappropriation or dilution; seek temporary restraints and
preliminary injunctive relief to the extent practicable; seek to recover any and
all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution; and take such
other notions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Collateral.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         (f) Borrower shall, through counsel acceptable to Lenders, prosecute
diligently any application for any Intellectual Property pending as of the date
of this Agreement or thereafter made until the termination of this Agreement;
make application on uncopyrighted but copyrightable material, unpatented but
patentable inventions and unregistered but registerable Trademarks, and preserve
and maintain all rights in applications for any Intellectual Property; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Borrower shall have no obligation to make any such application if
making such application would be unnecessary or imprudent in the good faith
business judgment of Borrower. Any expenses incurred in connection with such an
application shall be borne by Borrower. Borrower shall not abandon any right to
file a application for any Intellectual Property or any such pending application
in the United States without the consent of Lenders, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

         (g) Lenders shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to
bring suit in Lenders own name(s) or the name(s) of its designee(s) to enforce
the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks and any license under such Intellectual
Property, in which event Borrower shall, at the request of Lenders, do any and
all lawful acts and execute and deliver any and all proper documents required by
Lenders in aid of such enforcement action.

         4.06 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees that, from time to time upon
the written request of Lenders' Agent, Borrower will execute and deliver such
further documents and do such other acts and things as Lenders may reasonably
request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement.

         Section 5. REMEDIES.

         5.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT, ETC. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:

         (a) Lenders in their discretion may require Borrower to, and Borrower
shall, assemble the Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably
convenient to both the Lenders and Borrower, and designated in Lenders' request;

         (b) Lenders in their discretion may make any reasonable compromise or
settlement it deems desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may
extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise
modify the terms of, all or any part of the Collateral;

         (c) Lenders in their discretion may, in their name(s) or in the name of
Borrower or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property
at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for all or any
part of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;

         (d) Lenders in their discretion may, upon ten (10) business days' prior
written notice to Borrower of the time and place, with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the
possession, custody or control of Lenders or any of their agents, pursuant to
any right hereunder, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such
Collateral, at such place or places as Lenders reasonably deem best, for cash,
for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk) and
at public or private sale, without

                                       13
<PAGE>

demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or
of time or place of any such sale (except such notice as is required above or by
applicable statute and cannot be waived), and Lenders or any other Person may be
the purchaser, lessee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed
of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale)
and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or
otherwise), of Borrower, any such demand, notice and right or equity being
hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale, license or other
disposition of any of the Trademark Collateral, the goodwill connected with and
symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to such disposition shall be
included, and Borrower shall supply to Lenders or their designee, for inclusion
in such sale, assignment or other disposition, all Intellectual property
relating to such Trademark Collateral. Lenders or their designee(s) may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to
be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may
be so adjourned; and

         (e) Lenders shall have, and in their discretion may exercise, all of
the rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Collateral of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform
Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, remedies,
powers and privilege are asserted) and such additional rights, remedies, powers
and privilege to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in
any jurisdiction where any rights, remedies, powers and privileges in respect of
this Agreement or the Collateral may be asserted, including the right, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other
powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Lenders or their agents
were the sole and absolute owner or the Collateral (and Borrower agrees to take
all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right).

The proceeds of, and other realization upon, the Collateral by virtue of the
exercise of remedies under this Section 5.01 and of the exercise of the license
granted to Lenders in Section 2.02 shall be applied in accordance with Section
5.04.

         5.02 DEFICIENCY. If the proceeds of, or other realization upon, the
Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section 5.01 and of the
exercise of the license granted by Lenders in Section 2.02 are insufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of such exercise and the payment in full of the
other Secured Obligations, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.

         5.03 PRIVATE SALE.

         (a) Lenders shall incur no liability as a result of the sale, lease or
other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral at any private sale
pursuant to Section 5.01 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Borrower
hereby waives any claims against Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the
price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less
than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than
the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Lenders accept the
first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         (b) Borrower recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws,
Lenders and Lenders' Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or
any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among
other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment
and not with a view to distribution or resale. Borrower acknowledges that any
such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Lenders than
those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Lenders
and Lenders' Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary
to permit the respective issuer of such Collateral to register it for public
sale.

         5.04 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement and except as provided below in this Section 5.04, the proceeds
of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by virtue of
the exercise of remedies under Section 5.01 or of the exercise of the license
granted in Section 2.02, and any other cash at the time held by the Lenders or
