         (b) In addition, to secure the prompt and complete payment, performance

                                       3
<PAGE>

each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Lenders, a
right of setoff against the property of such Grantor held by Agent or any
Lender, consisting of property described above in Section 2(a) now or hereafter
in the possession or custody of or in transit to Agent or any Lender, for any
purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of such
Grantor, or as to which such Grantor may have any right or power, which such
right of setoff may be exercised by Agent if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.

         3. AGENT'S AND LENDERS' RIGHTS: LIMITATIONS ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS'
OBLIGATIONS.

         (a) It is expressly agreed by Grantors that, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of its
Contracts and each of its IP Licenses to observe and perform all the conditions
and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither Agent nor
any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or IP
License by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting
herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Agent or any Lender of any payment
relating to any Contract or IP License pursuant hereto. Neither Agent nor any
Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of
the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract or IP License,
or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance
by any party under any Contract or IP License, or to present or file any claims,
or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of
any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at
any time or times.

         (b) In addition to and not in substitution for any similar requirement
in the Credit Agreement, Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account
Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Agent has a security
interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to Agent.
Furthermore, at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, if Agent determines that Account Debtor's contra-accounts or set-off
rights may cause the Borrowing Limit to be less than zero, Agent may notify
Account Debtors that Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments
shall be made directly to Agent. Upon the request of Agent, each Grantor shall
so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any
such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on
the Collateral, the affected Grantor shall not give any contrary instructions to
such Account Debtor or other Person without Agent's prior written consent.

         (c) Agent may at any time in Agent's own name, in the name of a nominee
of Agent or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone,
facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors
in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to Agent's satisfaction,
the existence, amount terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts,
payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each

                                       4
<PAGE>

Grantor, at its own expense, shall cause the independent certified public
accountants then engaged by such Grantor to prepare and deliver to Agent and
each Lender at any time and from time to time promptly upon Agent's request the
following reports with respect to each Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all
Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test
verification of such Accounts as Agent may request. If requested by Agent, each
Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to Agent the results of each physical
verification, if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion have made, or
caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its
Inventory.

         4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Grantor represents and warrants
that:

         (a) Each Grantor has rights in and the power to transfer each item of
the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder free and clear
of any and all Liens other than the liens permitted under Section 9.2 of the
Credit Agreement.

         (b) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent
security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part
of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as
may have been filed (i) in favor of Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, and (ii) in connection with the liens permitted under
Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.

         (c) This Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and
continuing Lien on and, upon the filing of the appropriate financing statements
listed on Schedule I hereto, a perfected Lien in favor of Agent, for itself and
the benefit of Lenders, on the Collateral with respect to which a Lien may be
perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC. Such Lien is prior to all other Liens,
except the liens permitted under Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement that would
be prior to Liens in favor of Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders as a
matter of law, and is enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of
and purchasers from any Grantor (other than purchasers and lessees of Inventory
in the ordinary course of business or to the extent provided for under Section
9-408(d) of the UCC). All action by any Grantor necessary or desirable to
perfect such Lien on each item of the Collateral has been duly taken.

         (d) Schedule II hereto lists all Instruments, Letter-of-Credit Rights
and Chattel Paper of each Grantor. All action by any Grantor necessary or
desirable to protect and perfect the Lien of Agent on each item set forth on
Schedule II (including the delivery of all originals thereof to Agent and the
legending of all Chattel Paper as required by Section 5(b) hereof) has been duly
taken. The Lien of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, on the
Collateral listed on Schedule II hereto is prior to all other Liens, except the
liens permitted under Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement that would be prior to
the Liens in favor of Agent as a matter of law, and is enforceable as such
against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor.

         (e) Each Grantor's name as it appears in official filings in the state
of its incorporation or other organization, the type of entity of each Grantor
(including

                                       5

of its books and records concerning the Collateral are set forth on Schedule
III-A, Schedule III-B, Schedule III-C and Schedule III-D, respectively hereto.
Each Grantor has only one state of incorporation or organization.

         (f) With respect to the Accounts, except as specifically disclosed in
the most recent collateral report delivered to Agent (i) they represent bona
fide sales of Inventory or rendering of services to Account Debtors in the
ordinary course of each Grantor's business and are not evidenced by a judgment,
Instrument or Chattel Paper; (ii) there are no setoffs, claims or disputes
existing or asserted with respect thereto (other than in connection with License
Agreements and Unapproved License Agreements) and no Grantor has made any
agreement with any Account Debtor for any extension of time for the payment
thereof, any compromise or settlement for less than the full amount thereof, any
release of any Account Debtor from liability therefor, or any deduction
therefrom except a discount or allowance allowed by such Grantor in the ordinary
course of its business for prompt payment and disclosed to Agent; (iii) to each
Grantor's knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way
impair the validity or enforceability thereof or could reasonably be expected to
reduce the amount payable thereunder as shown on any Grantor's books and records
and any invoices, statements and collateral reports delivered to Agent and
Lenders with respect thereto; (iv) no Grantor has received any notice of
proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against any Account
Debtor which might result in any material adverse change in such Account
Debtor's financial condition; and (v) no Grantor has knowledge that any Account
Debtor (except as to those Account Debtors referred to in the Factor Guaranties)
is unable generally to pay its debts as they become due. Further with respect to
the Accounts (x) the amounts shown on all invoices, statements and collateral
reports which may be delivered to the Agent with respect thereto are actually
and absolutely owing to such Grantor as indicated thereon and are not in any way
contingent; (y) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments
immediately delivered to the applicable Blocked Accounts or the Agent as
required pursuant to Section 8.22 of the Credit Agreement; and (z) to each
Grantor's knowledge, all Account Debtors have the capacity to contract.

         (g) With respect to any Inventory scheduled or listed on the most
recent collateral report delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement, (i) such Inventory (other than
Inventory in-transit) is located at one of the applicable Grantor's locations
set forth on Schedule III-A, Schedule III-B, Schedule III-C or Schedule III-D
hereto, as applicable, (ii) no Inventory is now, or shall at any time or times
hereafter be stored at any other location, except as otherwise provided under
the Credit Agreement and, in connection with any such other location, each
applicable Grantor will obtain, to the extent required by the Credit Agreement,

disposition of that Inventory or the payment of any monies to any third party
upon such sale or other disposition, and (vi) the completion of manufacture,
sale or other disposition of such Inventory by Agent following an Event of
Default shall not require the consent of any Person and shall not constitute a
breach or default under any contract or agreement to which any Grantor is a
party or to which such property is subject.

         (h) No Grantor has any ownership interest in, or title to, any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright except as set forth in Schedule IV hereto. This Security
Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon filing
of the Copyright Security Agreements with the United States Copyright Office and
filing of the Patent Security Agreements and the Trademark Security Agreements
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, perfected Liens in favor of
Agent on each Grantor' s Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights and such perfected
Liens are enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers
from any Grantor to the extent provided for under Section 9-408(d) of the UCC.
Upon filing of the Copyright Security Agreements with the United States
Copyright Office and filing of the Patent Security Agreements and the Trademark
Security Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
filing of appropriate financing statements listed on Schedule I hereto, all

the appropriate state motor vehicle filing office.

         5. COVENANTS. Each Grantor covenants and agrees with Agent, for the
benefit of Agent and Lenders, that from and after the date of this Security

      such Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any

      Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed

      Grantor's ownership of any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its
      right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

               (ii)    If any Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
      employee, licensee or designee, files an application for the registration
      of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and
      Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office
      or agency, such Grantor shall give Agent prior written notice thereof,
      and, upon request of Agent, Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all
      Patent Security Agreements, Copyright Security Agreements or Trademark
      Security Agreements as Agent may request to evidence Agent's Lien on such
      Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such
      Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

               (iii)   Grantors shall take all actions necessary or requested by
      Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant
      registration and to maintain the registration of each of the material
      Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including
      the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of
      noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation
      proceedings, unless the applicable Grantor shall determine that such
      Patent, Trademark or Copyright is not material to the conduct of its
      business.

               (iv)    In the event that any material Patent, Trademark or
      Copyright is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third
      party, such Grantor shall comply with Section 5(a)(ix) of this Security
      Agreement. Such Grantor shall, unless such Grantor shall reasonably
      determine that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is not
      material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly sue for
      infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all
      damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall
      take such other actions as Agent shall in its reasonable judgment deem
      appropriate under the circumstances to protect such material Patent,
      Trademark or Copyright Collateral.

         (d) Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Agent
or any Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto
or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor will save,
indemnify and keep Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by
reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of
liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or

                                       10
<PAGE>

other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor
of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness
or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its
successors from such Grantor, except in the case of Agent or any Lender, to the
extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain
enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable
against Agent or any Lender.

         (e) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc. In all material respects,
each Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect of the
Collateral and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it is
bound relating to the Collateral.

         (f) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. No Grantor will create, permit
or suffer to exist, and each Grantor will defend the Collateral against, and
take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral
except the liens permitted under Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, and will
defend the right, title and interest of Agent and Lenders in and to any of such
Grantor's rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all
Persons whomsoever.

         (g) Limitations on Disposition. No Grantor will sell, license, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt or contract
to do so except as permitted by the Credit Agreement.

         (h) Further Identification of Collateral. Grantors will, if so
requested by Agent, furnish to Agent, as often as Agent reasonably requests,
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Agent may reasonably
request, all in such detail as Agent may specify.

         (i) Notices. Grantors will advise Agent promptly, in reasonable detail,
(i) of any Lien (other than the liens permitted under Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement) or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of
the occurrence of any other event which would have a material adverse effect on
the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder or under
any other Loan Document.

         (j) Good Standing Certificates. Not less frequently than twice each
calendar year, each Grantor shall, unless Agent shall otherwise consent, provide
to Agent a certificate of good standing from its state of incorporation or
organization.

         (k) No Reincorporation. Without limiting the prohibitions on mergers
involving the Grantors contained in the Credit Agreement, no Grantor shall
reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized as of the date hereof
without the prior written consent of Agent.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         (l) Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Each Grantor acknowledges
that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or
termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior
written consent of Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior
written consent of Agent, subject to such Grantor's rights under Section
9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

         (m) Authorized Terminations. Agent will promptly deliver to each
Grantor for filing or authorize each Grantor to prepare and file termination
statements and releases in accordance with Section 12.8(d) of the Credit
Agreement.

         6. AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
            ---------------------------------------

         On the Closing Date each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a
power of attorney (the "Power of Attorney") substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of
Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the
all of the Obligations have been paid (or in the case of Letter of Credit
Obligations, cash collateralized in accordance with the Credit Agreement) in
full. The powers conferred on Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, under
the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Agent's interests (for the benefit
of Agent and Lenders) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent
or any Lender to exercise any such powers. Agent agrees that (a) except for the
powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any
power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Agent shall account for any
moneys received by Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of
Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that none of Agent or any
Lender shall have any duty as to any Collateral, except as provided under the
UCC, and Agent and Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they
actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF AGENT,
LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS
OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO
ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY
DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

         7. REMEDIES: RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
            -----------------------------

         (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under
this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any
of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
expressly agrees that in any such event Agent, without demand of performance or
other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the

                                       12
<PAGE>

notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the
UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such
Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial
process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any
other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Agent's claim or action and
may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign,
give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and
deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or
more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such
prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. Agent or any Lender shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any
such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Agent and Lenders,
the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or
without notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any
Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor's
premises without charge for such time or times as Agent deems necessary or
advisable.

         If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continued, each
Grantor further agrees, at Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to Agent at a place or places designated by Agent which are
reasonably convenient to Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's
premises or elsewhere. Until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral,
or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of
preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate
by Agent. Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve
the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral
while Collateral is in the possession of Agent. Agent may, if it so elects, seek
the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to
enforce any of Agent's remedies (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders), with
respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such
appointment. Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection,
recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as
provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net
proceeds, and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any
provision of law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To
the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law, each Grantor
waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent or any Lender arising out
of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees
that ten (10) days prior notice by Agent of the time and place of any public
sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable
notification of such matters. Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if
the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient

                                       13
<PAGE>

to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys' fees and other expenses
incurred by Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

         (b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor
hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent
permitted by the UCC and other applicable law) of any kind in connection with
this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

         (c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges
and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to
incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral
for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account
Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any
adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through
the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to
contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral,
(vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition
of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii)
to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the
auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets,
(ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to
disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the
Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or
(xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of
other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist
the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each
Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not
be commercially unreasonable in the Agent's exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose
any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security
Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).

                                       14
<PAGE>

         (d) Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to make any
demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any
Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect
to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or
remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect
guarantee thereof. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to
marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the
Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and
their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To
the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives
and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert
against the Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension,
redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a
surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be
applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or
decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this
Security Agreement, or otherwise.

         8. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. For the
purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof
(including, without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take
possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for
sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Agent shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby
grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual
Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same
may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any
of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and
programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

         9. LIMITATION ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.
Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral
in its possession or under its control. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have
any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the
possession or control of any agent or nominee of Agent or such Lender, or any
income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining thereto.

         10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any
Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any
part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations,
whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all
as though

                                       15
<PAGE>

such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or
any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations
shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

         11. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is
provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration
or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the
parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and
serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or
other communication shall be in writing and either shall be delivered in person

provided. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing
by the party entitled to receive such notice. Every notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration or other communication hereunder shall be deemed
to have been duly served, given or delivered (a) if by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, four (4) Business Days following the date when
sent, (b) if by telex, when sent and answerback received, (c) if by overnight
courier, when received, (d) if by telecopier, when sent, or (e) when receipted
for, if personally delivered or delivered by messenger. Failure or delay in
delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration
or other communication to the persons designated above to receive copies shall
in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration or other communication.

         12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating
the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security
Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together
with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together,
set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Agent, Lenders and
Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

         13. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing,
signed

                                       17
<PAGE>

by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion.
No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Agent or any
Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently,
and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified
or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Agent and
Grantors.

         14. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this
Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof
does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this
Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory
provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid,
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered
or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

         15. TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject to Section 10
hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate when all of the Obligations have
been paid (or in the case of Letter of Credit Obligations, cash collateralized
in accordance with the Credit Agreement) in full.

         16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all obligations
of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and
shall, together with the rights and remedies of Agent, for the benefit of Agent
and Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all future
holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective
successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments,
transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument
evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in
any manner impair the Lien granted to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and
Lenders, hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.

         17. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any
number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one and the same agreement. This Security Agreement may be
authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by
Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

         18. GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY
AND

                                       18
<PAGE>

PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND
ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY
CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY,
CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND
DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING
TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY
APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW
YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED
OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN
ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR
THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF
AGENT. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH
JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL
JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH
COURT. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND
OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH
SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED
MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES
TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON
THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE
U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

         19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES
ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO

                                       19
<PAGE>

WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO
RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG
AGENT, LENDERS, AND GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO
OR THERETO.

         20. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Security
Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

         21. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event
an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security

presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

         22. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each other
party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically,
the provisions of Section 18 and Section 19, with its counsel.

         23. BENEFIT OF LENDERS. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall
be for the benefit of Agent, individually, and Lenders, and all proceeds or
payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
hereinafter contained and to induce Lenders to make Loans and to incur Letter of
Credit Obligations under the Credit Agreement, it is agreed as follows:

         1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the
Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined, and the following shall
have (unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement) the following
respective meanings (such meanings being equally applicable to both the singular
and plural form of the terms defined):

         "Bankruptcy Code" means title 11, United States Code, as amended from
time to time, and any successor statute thereto.

         "Pledged Collateral" has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2
hereof.

         "Pledged Entity" means an issuer of Pledged Shares or Pledged
Indebtedness.

         "Pledged Indebtedness" means the Indebtedness evidenced by promissory
notes and instruments listed on Part B of Schedule I hereto;

         "Pledged Shares" means those shares listed on Part A of Schedule I
hereto.

         "Secured Obligations" has the meaning assigned to such term in Section
3 hereof.

         2. Pledge. Each Pledgor hereby pledges to Agent, and grants to Agent
for itself and the benefit of Lenders, a first priority security interest in all
of the following (collectively, the "Pledged Collateral"):

               (a) the Pledged Shares and the certificates representing the
      Pledged Shares, and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and
      other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or
      otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the
      Pledged Shares; and

                                       2
<PAGE>

               (b) such portion, as determined by Agent as provided in Section
      6(d) below, of any additional shares of stock of a Pledged Entity from
      time to time acquired by such Pledgor in any manner (which shares shall be
      deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares), and the certificates
      representing such additional shares, and all dividends, distributions,
      cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time
      received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange
      for any or all of such Stock; and

               (c) the Pledged Indebtedness and the promissory notes or
      instruments evidencing the Pledged Indebtedness, and all interest, cash,
      instruments and other property and assets from time to time received,
      receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of the Pledged
      Indebtedness; and

               (d) all additional Indebtedness arising after the date hereof and
      owing to such Pledgor and evidenced by promissory notes or other
      instruments, together with such promissory notes and instruments, and all
      interest, cash, instruments and other property and assets from time to
      time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of that
      Pledged Indebtedness.

         3. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, and the Pledged
Collateral is security for, the prompt payment in full when due, whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and performance of all
Obligations of any kind under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and all obligations of the Pledgors now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement including, without limitation, all fees, costs and
expenses whether in connection with collection actions hereunder or otherwise
(collectively, the "Secured Obligations").

         4. Delivery of Pledged Collateral. All certificates and all promissory
notes and instruments evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to
and held by or on behalf of Agent, for itself and the benefit of Lenders,
pursuant hereto. All Pledged Shares shall be accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent and all promissory notes or other instruments evidencing
the Pledged Indebtedness shall be endorsed by Pledgor.

         5. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and warrants
to Agent that:

               (a) such Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of the Pledged
      Shares to Agent will be, the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial
      owner of such Pledged Collateral pledged by Pledgor free and clear of any
      Lien thereon or affecting the title thereto, except for any Lien created
      by this Agreement; such Pledgor is and at the time of delivery of the
      Pledged Indebtedness to Agent will be, the sole owner of such Pledged
      Collateral free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting title thereto,
      except for any Lien created by this Agreement and other Liens permitted to
      exist on the Pledged Collateral under the Credit Agreement;

                                       3
<PAGE>

               (b) All of the Pledged Shares have been duly authorized, validly
      issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the Pledged Indebtedness has
      been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered by, and is the
      legal, valid and binding obligations of, the Pledged Entities, and no such
      Pledged Entity is in default thereunder;

               (c) such Pledgor has the right and requisite authority to pledge,
      assign, transfer, deliver, deposit and set over the Pledged Collateral
      pledged by such Pledgor to Agent as provided herein;

               (d) None of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Indebtedness has been
      issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration,
      securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such
      issuance or transfer may be subject;

               (e) All of the Pledged Shares are presently owned by such
      Pledgor, and are presently represented by the certificates listed on Part
      A of Schedule I hereto. As of the date hereof, there are no existing
      options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
      relating to the Pledged Shares;

               (f) No consent, approval, authorization or other order or other
      action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or
      any other Person is required (i) for the pledge by such Pledgor of the
      Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution,
      delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Pledgor, or (ii) for the
      exercise by Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this
      Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to
      this Agreement, except as may be required in connection with such
      disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
      generally;

               (g) The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Collateral
      pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid first priority Lien on and
      a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent for the
      benefit of Agent and Lenders in the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds
      thereof, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, subject to no
      other Lien except for other Liens permitted to exist on the Pledged
      Collateral under the Credit Agreement;

               (h) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
      delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
      obligation of such Pledgor enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance
      with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
      conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
      creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to
      enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of
      commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of
      whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity);

                                       4
<PAGE>

               (i) The Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued and
      outstanding shares of Stock of each Pledged Entity; and

               (j) Except as disclosed on Part B of Schedule I, none of the
      Pledged Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to other
      Indebtedness (except for the Secured Obligations) or subject to the terms
      of an indenture.

         The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

         6. Covenants. Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that until all of the
Secured Obligations have been paid (or in the case of Letter of Credit
Obligations, cash collateralized in accordance with the Credit Agreement) in
full:

               (a) Without the prior written consent of Agent, such Pledgor will
      not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any of its
      rights in or to the Pledged Collateral, or any unpaid dividends, interest
      or other distributions or payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral
      or grant a Lien in the Pledged Collateral, unless otherwise expressly
      permitted by the Credit Agreement;

               (b) such Pledgor will, at its expense, promptly execute,
      acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as
      Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to Agent
      and Lenders the benefits of the Liens in and to the Pledged Collateral
      intended to be created by this Agreement, including the filing of any
      necessary UCC financing statements, which may be filed by Agent with or
      (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature of Pledgor, and
      will cooperate with Agent, at such Pledgor's expense, in obtaining all
      necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state,
      local or foreign law in connection with such Liens or, during the
      existence of an Event of Default, any sale or transfer of the Pledged
      Collateral;

               (c) such Pledgor has and will defend the title to the Pledged
      Collateral and the Liens of Agent in the Pledged Collateral against the
      claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens; and

               (d) such Pledgor will, upon obtaining ownership of any additional
      Stock or promissory notes or instruments of a Pledged Entity or Stock or
      promissory notes or instruments otherwise required to be pledged to Agent
      pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, which Stock, notes or instruments
      are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event within five
      (5) Business Days) deliver to Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by
      Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II hereto (a "Pledge
      Amendment") in respect of any such additional Stock, notes or instruments,
      pursuant to which Pledgor shall pledge to Agent all of such additional
      Stock, notes and instruments. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Agent to
      attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged
      Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on any Pledge

                                       5
<PAGE>

      Amendment delivered to Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be
      considered Pledged Collateral.

         7. Pledgors' Rights. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and until written notice shall be given to the Pledgors in
accordance with Section 8(a) hereof:

               (a) Each Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote
      and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or any part
      thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this
      Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided,
      however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or
      action taken, which would have the effect of adversely impairing the
      position or interest of Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral or
      which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless and to the extent
      expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement):

                   (i)   the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of
      a Pledged Entity;

                   (ii)  the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with
      any other Person;

                   (iii) the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or
      substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in
      favor of Agent and Liens permitted to exist on the Pledged Collateral
      under the Credit Agreement;

                   (iv)  any change in the authorized number of shares, the
      stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or the
      issuance of any additional shares of its Stock subject to Section 6(d); or

                   (v)   the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the
      Stock of a Pledged Entity; and

               (b) (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled, from time to time, to
      collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid
      in respect of the Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness to the extent
      not in violation of the Credit Agreement other than any and all: (A)
      dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of
      any Pledged Collateral, and instruments and other property received,
      receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any
      Pledged Collateral; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable
      in cash in respect of any Pledged Shares in connection with a partial or
      total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of
      capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity; and (C)
      cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of,
      or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided,
      however, that until actually paid

                                       6
<PAGE>

      all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created
      by this Agreement; and

                   (ii) all dividends and interest (other than such cash
      dividends and interest as are permitted to be paid to each Pledgor in
      accordance with clause (i) above) and all other distributions in respect
      of any of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Indebtedness, whenever paid or
      made, shall be delivered to Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall,
      if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Agent,
      be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be
      forthwith delivered to Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so
      received (with any necessary indorsement).

         8. Defaults and Remedies; Proxy.

               (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
      continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written
      notice to the Pledgors, Agent (personally or through an agent) is hereby
      authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the
      name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to
      exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged
      Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger
      denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder
      with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest,
      principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more
      sales after ten (10) days' notice of the time and place of any public sale
      or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice the
      Pledgors agree is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the
      Pledged Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged
      Collateral as though Agent was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall
      be made at a public or private sale at Agent's place of business, or at
      any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon
      credit or for future delivery at such price as Agent may deem fair, and to
      the extent permitted under the UCC and other applicable law, Agent may be
      the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold
      and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of any
      Pledgor or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest
      bidder, but Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such
      sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of
      performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices
      of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby
      waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any
      officer or agent of Agent. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND
      APPOINTS AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT
      TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES,
      WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS
      PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE
      IRREVOCABLE UNTIL ALL OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID (OR IN

                                       7
<PAGE>

      THE CASE OF LETTER OF CREDIT OBLIGATIONS, CASH COLLATERALIZED IN
      ACCORDANCE WITH THE CREDIT AGREEMENT) IN FULL. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO
      VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND
      ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS,
      POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES
      WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF
      SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH
      MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE
      NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON
      THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE
      ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE
      OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT and during the continuation of such
      Event of Default. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY
      DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE
      LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

               (b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of
      the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there
      be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured
      Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if
      at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would
      indicate to Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of
      the whole of the Pledged Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to
      discharge all the Secured Obligations, Agent may, on one or more occasions
      and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement
      at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no
      other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given,
      any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or
      sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days' notice to
      the Pledgors.

               (c) If, at any time when Agent shall determine to exercise its
      right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder,
      such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any
      reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of
      1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the "Act"),
      Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of
      law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such
      manner and under such circumstances as Agent may deem necessary or
      advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8, and
      shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to
      be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such
      event, Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with

                                       8
<PAGE>

      applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale
      notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of
      registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have
      been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and
      negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z)
      may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under
      the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing
      for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the
      distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. In
      addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8, if any of
      the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public
      without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any
      proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8, then Agent shall not be required
      to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its
      discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require
      that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject
      to restrictions:

                   (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any
      Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

                   (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any
      certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale,
      including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

                   (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each
      Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person's access
      to financial information about Pledgor and such Person's intentions as to
      the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own
      account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

                   (iv) as to such other matters as Agent may, in its
      discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale
      (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance
      with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of
      creditors' rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

               (d) Each Pledgor recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a
      public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to
      resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (c)
      above. Each Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may
      result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such
      sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
      that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a
      commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being
      private. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
      Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged
      Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under

                                       9
<PAGE>

      applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor and the Pledged Entity
      would agree to do so.

               (e) Each Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by
      applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of
      an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the
      benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or
      redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the
      enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any
      part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser
      at any sale hereunder, and each Pledgor waives the benefit of all such
      laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. Each Pledgor agrees that it will
      not interfere with any right, power and remedy of Agent provided for in
      this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
      statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
      Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or
      delay on the part of Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and
      no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Pledgors by
      Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof,
      or limit or impair Agent's right to take any action or to exercise any
      power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its
      rights as against the Pledgors in any respect.

               (f) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the
      covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to
      Agent, that Agent shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
      breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant
      contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against each
      Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
      defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
      except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and
      payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and
      evidencing such obligations.

         9. Waiver. No delay on Agent's part in exercising any power of sale,
Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be
given to or made upon the Pledgors by Agent with respect to any power of sale,
Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or
limit or impair Agent's right to take any action or to exercise any power of
sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or
prejudice Agent's rights as against the Pledgors in any respect.

         10. Assignment. Agent may assign, indorse or transfer any instrument
evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations as provided in, and in
accordance with, the Credit Agreement, and the holder of such instrument shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

         11. Termination. Immediately following the payment in full of all of
the Secured Obligations (or in the case of Letter of Credit Obligations, cash
collateralized

                                       10
<PAGE>

in accordance with the Credit Agreement), Agent shall deliver to the Pledgors
the Pledged Collateral pledged by each Pledgor at the time subject to this
Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith,
free and clear of the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided herein, all
of Pledgors' obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.

         12. Lien Absolute. All rights of Agent hereunder, and all obligations
of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

               (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
      Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
      governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

               (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
      any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any
      other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the
      Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or
      instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

               (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other
      Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
      departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

               (d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

               (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
      defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.

         13. Release. Each Pledgor consents and agrees that Agent may at any
time, or from time to time, in its discretion:

               (a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the
      manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured
      Obligations; and

               (b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the
      Collateral (including the Pledged Collateral), or any part thereof, by
      whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by Agent in
      connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner
      and upon such terms as Agent may deem proper, and without notice to or
      further assent from the Pledgors, it being hereby agreed that each Pledgor
      shall be and remain bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the value
      or condition of any of the Collateral, and notwithstanding any such
      change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or
      extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at
      any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the
      Credit Agreement, or any other agreement

                                       11
<PAGE>

      governing any Secured Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives notice of
      acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and
      notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and
      promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon,
      and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder
      upon Pledgor. No act or omission of any kind on Agent's part shall in any
      event affect or impair this Agreement.

         14. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any
Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for liquidation or reorganization, should any
Pledgor or any Pledged Entity become insolvent or make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of a Pledgor's or a Pledged Entity's assets, and shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable
preference", "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such payment
or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations
shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

         15. Miscellaneous.
             -------------

               (a) Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through
      agents or employees and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning
      all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder.

               (b) Each Pledgor agrees to promptly reimburse Agent for actual
      and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation,
      reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Agent in connection with the
      administration and enforcement of this Agreement.

               (c) Neither Agent, nor any of its respective officers, directors,
      employees, agents or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken
      or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith,
      except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
      finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

               (d) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON EACH PLEDGOR AND ITS
      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (INCLUDING A DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION ON BEHALF OF A
      PLEDGOR), AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF, AND BE ENFORCEABLE BY, AGENT
      AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
      AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF

                                       12

      WAIVED, ALTERED, MODIFIED OR AMENDED EXCEPT IN WRITING DULY SIGNED FOR AND
      ON BEHALF OF AGENT AND EACH PLEDGOR.

         16. Severability. If for any reason any provision or provisions hereof
are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such
invalidity shall not impair the operation of or effect those portions of this
Agreement which are valid.

         17. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is
provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration
