<PAGE>

                  3.1. Title; No Other Liens. Such Grantor owns each item of the
Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims, except for Designated
Permitted Liens. No financing statement or other public notice with respect to

except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted
by the Indenture.

                  3.2. Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests
granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) constitute valid perfected security
interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such
Grantor's Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against
all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any
Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the
Collateral except for Designated Permitted Liens.

                  3.3. Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such

                  3.5. Intellectual Property. (a) Except as set forth in
Schedule 5, such Grantor is the owner of or has the right to use (or, in the
case of patents and patent applications, to exclude others from using) all of
such Intellectual Property free and clear of any Liens (other than Designated
Permitted Liens), and is otherwise entitled to use all such Intellectual
Property, without limitation, subject only to the license terms of the licensing
or franchise agreements referred to in paragraph (c) below.

                  (b) To such Grantor's knowledge, on the date hereof, all
Intellectual Property is valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable and has
not been abandoned.

                  (c) Except as set forth in Schedule 5, on the date hereof (i)

the rights of any third party. To such Grantor's knowledge, there is currently
no infringement or unauthorized use of any item of Intellectual Property.

                                       9
<PAGE>

taken as a whole. Except as set forth on Schedule 5, such Grantor is not aware
of any uses of any item of material Intellectual Property that could reasonably
be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable including,
without limitation, unauthorized uses by third parties and uses which were not
supported by the goodwill of the business connected with Trademarks and
Trademark Licenses.

                  (f) Except as set forth on Schedule 5, no action or proceeding
is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened, on the date hereof

effect on the value of the Intellectual Property taken as a whole. To the
knowledge of such Grantor and except as set forth on Schedule 5, no Person is
engaging in any activity that infringes upon the Intellectual Property or upon
the rights of such Grantor therein. Except as set forth on Schedule 5 and except

granted any license, release, covenant not to sue, non-assertion assurance or
other similar right to any Person with respect to any part of the Intellectual

Property.

notice of termination or cancellation under such license; (iii) such Grantor has
not received any notice of a breach or default under such license, which breach
or default has not been cured; (iv) such Grantor has not granted to any other
third party any rights, adverse or otherwise, under such license; and (v) such
Grantor is not in material default, and no event has occurred that, with notice

termination, modification or acceleration under such license.

                  (h) To such Grantor's knowledge, (i) none of the Trade Secrets
of such Grantor has been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the

that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations shall have
been paid in full in cash:

                  4.1. Covenants in Indenture. Each Grantor shall take, or shall
refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be
taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default
is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such
action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  4.2. Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Such Grantor will maintain,
with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance on all
Collateral and, to the extent customary, on all of its other property in at
least such amounts and against at least such risks as are usually insured
against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar
business; and furnish to the Collateral Agent, upon written request, full
information as to the insurance carried.

                  (b) Such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties, (i) on the Closing Date, a certificate dated such
date showing the amount and types of insurance coverage as of such date, and
(ii) upon request of the Collateral Agent from time to time, full information as
to the insurance carried. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee for the
benefit of the Secured Parties shall be named as additional insured on all such
liability insurance policies of such Grantor and the Collateral Agent shall be
named as loss payee on all property and casualty insurance policies of such
Grantor with respect to the Collateral.

                  4.3. Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor will pay and
discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become
delinquent, as the case may be, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges
or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits
therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without limitation,
claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the
Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if (i) the amount or
validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, (ii) reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have
been provided on the books of such Grantor and (iii) such proceedings could not
reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material
portion of the Collateral or any interest therein; provided, however, that if
such Collateral is no longer used or useful and there is no intention to use
such Collateral in the future, this paragraph shall not apply.

                  4.4. Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further
Documentation. (a) Such Grantor shall take whatever actions are necessary or
desirable to maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a
perfected security interest having at least the priority described in Section
3.2, including but not limited to recording the same in recordal offices of the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office

and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

                  (b) Such Grantor will furnish to the Secured Parties from time
to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the

such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable
detail.

                  (c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written
request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such
Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such
further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers
herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or
continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar
laws) or the laws governing Intellectual Property in effect in any jurisdiction
with respect to the security interests created hereby.

                  4.5. Sales of Collateral. Such Grantor will not consummate the
sale of any Collateral, except as permitted by the Indenture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, such Grantor will not transfer any portion of the Collateral to
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company that is not a Guarantor under the
Indenture and a party to this Agreement.

                  4.6. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Such Grantor will not,
except (i) upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and (ii)
(a) the filing of all additional executed financing statements and other
documents as may be required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the
security interests provided for herein and (b) if applicable, the delivery to
the Collateral Agent of a written supplement to Schedule 4 showing any
additional location at which Equipment (other than mobile goods) or books and
records pertaining to the Collateral shall be kept:

                  (i) permit any of the Equipment (other than mobile goods) or
         books and records pertaining to the Collateral to be kept at a location
         other than those listed on Schedule 4;

                  (ii) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location
         of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that
         referred to in Section 3.3; or

                  (iii) change its name, identity or structure to such an extent
         that any financing statement or other document filed by the Collateral
         Agent in connection with this Agreement would become misleading;

provided, however, that in the case of the initial name change of the Company,
the Company must provide at least two (2) business days prior written notice to
the Collateral Agent of such change and satisfy the requirements of clause
(ii)(a) above on or prior to the effective date of such name change.

                  4.7. Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Secured Parties
promptly, in reasonable detail, of:

Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and

                  (b) of the occurrence of any other event which could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value
of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby.

                  4.8. Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or
through licensees) will (i) continue to use each material 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 free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) use
such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices
and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) not (and not
permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to
do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way.

                  (b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not
do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent may become

public domain.

                  (d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not

the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

                  (e) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will use
proper statutory notice in connection with the use of each material Patent,
Trademark and Copyright included in the Intellectual Property.

                  (f) Such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent immediately
if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration
relating to any material Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned
or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development
(including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or
development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country)
regarding such Grantor's ownership of, or the validity of, any material
Intellectual Property or such Grantor's right to register the same or to own and
maintain the same.

                  (g) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any
agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the
registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and

                                       13

Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or

Copyright, Patent, Trademark or other Intellectual Property and the goodwill and
general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

                  (h) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps,
including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office
or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain
and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to
maintain each registration of material Intellectual Property, including, without
limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to
office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office, the filing of applications for renewal or
extension, the filing of affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability,
the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue, and
renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees, and the
participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation,
infringement and misappropriation proceedings.

                  (i) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not
discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property, or abandon
any application or any right to file an application for letters patent,
trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined
that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property is no
longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor's business and that the loss
thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the value of the Collateral as a whole.

                  (j) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is
infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i)
take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) promptly notify the
Collateral Agent after it learns thereof and sue for infringement,
misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to
recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

                  (k) If the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, either by
itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, avails itself of
the laws of any jurisdiction not listed in the definition of Intellectual
Property above to any other jurisdiction's laws to register, file, preserve or
otherwise protect or evidence in such jurisdiction its interest in any
Copyrights, Copyright Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Trademarks, Trademark
Licenses, Trade Secrets or Trade Secret Licenses included in the Arden
Acquisition within 90 days of the Arden Acquisition (for purposes of this
Section 4.8(k), the above-described interest is referred to herein as the
"Additional-Acquired Intellectual Property"), then (x) to the extent such
Additional Acquired Intellectual Property is already Collateral hereunder, the
Company or such Subsidiary shall work in good faith with the Collateral Agent to

                                       14
<PAGE>

cause the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Additional Acquired
Intellectual Property promptly to be perfected (or its equivalent) in such
jurisdiction or (y) to the extent such Additional-Acquired Intellectual Property
is not already Collateral hereunder, the Company or such Subsidiary agrees that
(i) the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto, (ii) any such
Additional-Acquired Intellectual Property, and in the case of trademarks, the
goodwill of the business connected therewith or symbolized thereby, shall
automatically become part of the Collateral, (iii) it shall give prompt (and, in
any event within 15 days after the date of such acquisition) written notice
thereof to the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith, and (iv) it shall
provide the Collateral Agent promptly (and, in any event within 15 days after
the date of such acquisition) with an amended Schedule 5 hereto and amended
schedules to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement reflecting the
acquisition of such Additional-Acquired Intellectual Property. Such Grantor
authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 5
hereto and to modify the schedules to the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement if such Grantor fails to provide the Collateral Agent with
satisfactory amended schedules hereto or thereto within the time period required
hereunder (and will cooperate with the Collateral Agent in effecting any such
amendment) to include any Additional-Acquired Intellectual Property which
becomes part of the Collateral under this Section, and to record any such
modified agreement with the applicable Governmental Authorities.

                  (l) Such Grantor agrees to execute an Intellectual Property
Security Agreement with respect to its Intellectual Property in substantially
the form of Exhibit A in order to record the security interest granted herein to
the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office,
and any other applicable Governmental Authority.

                  (m) On the Closing Date, such Grantor shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to furnish to the Collateral Agent opinions of special
foreign counsel duly qualified to practice in the area of intellectual property
in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule 7 (the "Primary Jurisdictions") hereto,
which opinions shall be dated the date hereof and shall be addressed to the
Collateral Agent, in respect of all Collateral secured or purported to be
secured pursuant to the Security Agreement in each such jurisdiction,
substantially as to the matters set forth in Exhibit B hereto, with such changes
as may be required by local law.

                  4.9. Post Closing Covenants(a) . (a) Such Grantor shall
promptly perform all acts and pay all required fees and taxes to maintain each
and every item of material Intellectual Property in full force and effect and to
protect and maintain its interest therein. Such Grantor shall use proper
statutory notice in connection with its use of each material Patent, Trademark
and Copyright included in the Intellectual Property.

                  (b) Such Grantor shall promptly make all filings and
recordations necessary to adequately protect its interest in its material
Intellectual Property including, without limitation, recordation of its
interests in the Patents and Trademarks with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and in corresponding national and international patent offices
in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 7 and Schedule 8, and recordation of any
of its interests in the Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office and

                                       15
<PAGE>

in corresponding national and international copyright offices in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule 7 and Schedule 8.

                  (c) Such Grantor will take all steps to use consistent
standards of quality in the manufacture, distribution and sale of all products
sold and provision of all services to be provided under or in connection with
any item of Intellectual Property and will take all steps to ensure that all
licensed users of any kind of Intellectual Property use such consistent
standards of quality.

                  (d) Within 90 days after the date hereof, such Grantor shall
furnish to the Collateral Agent opinions of special foreign counsel duly
qualified to practice in the area of intellectual property in each jurisdiction
listed on Schedule 7 hereto, in respect of all Collateral secured or purported
to be secured pursuant to this Agreement in each such jurisdiction,
substantially as to the matters set forth in Exhibit B hereto (but only to the
extent such matters were not opined to by any such special foreign counsel in
its opinion delivered pursuant to Section 4.8(m) hereto), with such changes as
may be required by local law; provided, however, that if such counsel is unable
to provide such opinion with respect to any item of Collateral, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct the defect preventing
such counsel from providing such opinion; provided, further, that if the Company
is unable to correct such defect on commercially reasonable terms, such opinion
will nevertheless satisfy the provisions of this clause (d) if and only if the
Company delivers an Officers' Certificate certifying that the failure of such
Grantor to grant a valid security interest hereunder, and/or the failure to
perfect such security interest, in any item of Collateral excepted from such
opinion will not materially adversely affect the value of the Collateral.

                  (e) Within 90 days after the date hereof, such Grantor shall
furnish to the Collateral Agent certificates of filing of special foreign
counsel duly qualified to practice in the area of intellectual property in each
jurisdiction listed on Schedule 8 hereto (the "Secondary Jurisdictions"), in
respect of all Collateral secured or purported to be secured pursuant to this
Agreement in each such jurisdiction, evidencing perfection of all Collateral
secured or purported to be secured pursuant to this Agreement in each such
jurisdiction; provided, however, that if such counsel is unable to provide such
certificate of filing with respect to any item of Collateral, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct the defect preventing such
counsel from providing such certificate of filing; provided, further, that if
the Company is unable to correct such defect on commercially reasonable terms,
such certificate of filing will nevertheless satisfy the provisions of this
clause (e) if and only if the Company delivers an Officers' Certificate
certifying that the failure of such Grantor to grant a valid security interest
hereunder, and/or the failure to perfect such security interest, in any item of
Collateral excepted from such certificate of filing will not materially
adversely affect the value of the Collateral.

                         SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

                  5.1. Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any
Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents, checks and other near-cash items
shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from

                                       16
<PAGE>

other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor,
be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such
Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required).
All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the Indenture
shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under
its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent
in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties)
shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and
shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided under the
Indenture or under Section 5.2 hereof.

                  5.2. Application of Proceeds. At any time after an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written direction of the Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.06 of the Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall apply all
or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by
the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any
Collateral Account in payment of the Obligations in the following order:

                  First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the
         Collateral Agent under Section 7.4; and

                  Second, to pay to the Trustee for distribution pursuant to
         Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

                  5.3. Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, at the written direction of the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.06 of the Indenture and on behalf of the Secured
Parties, shall exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to
them in this Agreement, the Indenture and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of
a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies
to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance
or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind
(except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or
any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and
notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof,
and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract
to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or
sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of any Secured Party or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such
prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or
equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the
Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to
the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent

                                       17
<PAGE>

shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section
5.3, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured
Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the
order set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, and only after such application and after
the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-504(l)(c) of the New
York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any
Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out
of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice
shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale
or other disposition.

                  (b) In the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual
Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any
Trademarks subject to such Disposition shall be included, and the applicable
Grantor shall supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such Grantor's
know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same,
relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or
the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such
Disposition, and such Grantor's customer lists and other records and documents
relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution,
advertising and sale of such products and services.

                  5.4. Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to
assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-112 of the
New York UCC. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

                        SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

                  6.1. Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its
own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take
any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such
Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the
following:

                  (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise,
         take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
         acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under
         any Intellectual Property or with respect to any other Collateral and

                                       18
<PAGE>

         file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of
         law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent
         for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any
         Intellectual Property or with respect to any other Collateral whenever
         payable;

                  (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and
         deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments,
         documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence
         the Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property
         and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating
         thereto or represented thereby;

                  (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
         threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance
         called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of
         the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

                  (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in
         Section 5.3, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
         conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

                  (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of
         the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become
         due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral
         Agent shall direct; (2) ask for or demand, collect, and receive payment
         of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or
         to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
         Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express
         bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
         debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
         connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any
         suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
         competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof
         and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend
         any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with
         respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such
         suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such
         discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate;
         (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill
         of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark
         pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such
         conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its
         sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge
         and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of
         the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent
         were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the
         Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or
         from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems
         necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
         Secured Parties' security interests therein and to effect the intent of
         this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

                                       19
<PAGE>

                  Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any
rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                  (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance
or compliance, with such agreement.

                  (c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in
connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together
with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which
interest would then be payable on past due Notes, from the date of payment by
the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be
payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

                  (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.

                  6.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent's sole
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent
deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent,
nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors,
partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of
the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or
any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties
hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such
powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they
actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they
nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and
other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any
Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any
such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to
such Grantor.

                  6.3. Rights of Collateral Agent(a) . (a) The Collateral Agent
agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities set forth herein, but only
such duties and responsibilities and only on the terms and conditions herein
stated, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read herein against the
Collateral Agent.

                  (b) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to use its own
funds in the performance of any of its obligations or duties, or in the exercise

                                       20
<PAGE>

of any rights or powers, and shall not be required to take any action which, in
the Collateral Agent's sole reasonable judgment, could involve it in expense or
liability unless furnished with security and indemnity which the Collateral
Agent deems, in its reasonable discretion, to be satisfactory. In no event shall
the Collateral Agent be liable for any amount in excess of the Collateral.

                  (c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in any
manner for the validity or sufficiency of any property delivered hereunder, or
for the value or collectability of any note, check or other instrument so
delivered, or for any representations made or obligations assumed by any party
other than the Collateral Agent. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
obligate the Collateral Agent to deliver any cash, instruments, documents or any
other property referred to herein, unless the same shall have first been
received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (d) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and the
advice subsequently confirmed in writing or opinion of counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted
by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of
counsel.

                  (e) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent entitlement
order, approval or other paper or document furnished to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

                  (f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special,
indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but
not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of
the likelihood of such loss or damage regardless of the form of action.

                  6.4. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the New
York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral
Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording
documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of
such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably
determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security
interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or
other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any
jurisdiction; provided, however, that this instrument or a photographic or other
reproduction of this instrument may not be filed in the State of Florida.

                  6.5. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges
that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the
exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right,
request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements
with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between
the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full

                                       21
<PAGE>

and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

                  6.6. Replacement of Collateral Agent(a) . (a) A resignation or
removal of the Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent
shall become effective only upon the successor Collateral Agent's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 6.6.

                  (b) The Collateral Agent may resign in writing at any time and
be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Trustee and the
Company. The Trustee may remove the Collateral Agent by so notifying the
Collateral Agent and the Company in writing.

                  (c) If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a
vacancy exists in the office of Collateral Agent for any reason, the Trustee
shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent (which may be the Trustee,
unless the Trustee has resigned or has been removed pursuant to Section 7.08 of
the Indenture).

                  (d) If a successor Collateral Agent does not take office
within 60 days after the retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the
retiring Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least
10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

                  A successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Collateral Agent, the Trustee and
the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral
Agent shall become effective, and the successor Collateral Agent shall have all
the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the
other Security Documents and the Indenture. The retiring Collateral Agent shall
promptly transfer all Collateral and other property held by it as Collateral
Agent to the successor Collateral Agent, provided that all sums owing to the
Collateral Agent hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for
in Section 7.4 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section 6.6, the Grantors' obligations under Section 7.4 hereof
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Collateral Agent. The Grantors
shall take such actions as are necessary or desirable, in the opinion of counsel
to the successor Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection of the Liens
created by the Security Documents, all at the expense of the Grantors.

                            SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

                  7.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except
by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral
Agent in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture, provided that any provision
of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the
Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent in
accordance with Section 9.02 of the Indenture.

                  7.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 13.02 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice,

                                       22
<PAGE>

request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor at
its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

                  7.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No
Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to
Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived
any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies provided by law.

                  7.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor
agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for all its disbursements,
advances and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes including, without limitation, the
reasonable disbursements and expenses of the Collateral Agent's agents and
counsel.

                  (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral
Agent harmless from, any and all losses, liabilities or expenses with respect
to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or
other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any
of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

                  (c) The Company shall pay to the Collateral Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder. The Company shall
reimburse the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Collateral Agent's agents and
counsel.

                  (d) The Grantors jointly and severally shall indemnify the
Collateral Agent against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by
it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
duties under this Agreement or the other Security Documents, and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Grantor or any Holder or any
other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any such loss, liability
or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith. The
Collateral Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may
seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company shall
not relieve the Grantors of their obligations hereunder. The Grantors shall
defend the claim and the Collateral Agent shall cooperate in the defense. The

                                       23
<PAGE>

Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Grantors shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Grantors need not pay for any
settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

                  (e) To secure the Grantor's payment obligations in this
Section 7.4, the Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all
money or property held or collected by the Collateral Agent, except that held in
trust to pay principal, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on particular
Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.

                  (f) When the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(ix) or (x) of the
Indenture occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including
the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

                  (g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and repayment of the Obligations
and all other amounts payable under the Indenture and the Notes.

                  7.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit
of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no
Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

                  7.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each
Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other
Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof
in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the
obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and
claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such
Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Indenture, the
Notes or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured
Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities
and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such
Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured
Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of
each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such
Secured Party may have.

                  7.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or
more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be

                                       24
<PAGE>

deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become
effective as of the date first above written and be binding upon a Grantor when
a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been received
by the Collateral Agent.

                  7.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  7.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

                  7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

                  7.11. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby

         proceeding relating to this Agreement, the other Security Documents,
         the Indenture and the Notes, or for recognition and enforcement of any
         judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction

         of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts
         from any thereof;

                  (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought
         in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
         have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or
         that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and
         agrees not to plead or claim the same;

                  (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or
         proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
         certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
         prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 7.2 or
         at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been
         notified pursuant thereto;

                  (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
         effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
         limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

                                       25
<PAGE>

                  (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any
         right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
         referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or
         consequential damages.

                  7.12. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Security Documents, the

                  (b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or
duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the
other Security Documents, the Indenture or the Notes, and the relationship
between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other
hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;
and

                  (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other

the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the
Grantors and the Secured Parties.

                  7.13. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Company that

AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL

         2.2. Grant of License. As a condition and in consideration for entering
this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Lenders, a worldwide (to the extent each Grantor has the corresponding

<PAGE>

right to sell), limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license and

pursuant to this Agreement, until such time as said Inventory has been fully
exhausted. The right granted hereunder shall at all times be subject to the
rights of others set forth in the Security Agreement and/or the Intercreditor
Agreement.

                    SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         To induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement
and to make additional extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each
Lender that:

         3.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to
the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Credit
Agreement, the Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any
and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement or other public notice
with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any
public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted
by the Credit Agreement.

         3.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted
pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions
specified on Schedule A (which, in the case of all filings and other documents
referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Agent in completed and
duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of
the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing of a
financing statement and/or the other filings and actions specified on Schedule A
in favor of the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as collateral
security for the Borrower Obligations and Grantor Obligations, enforceable in
accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of the Grantor and any
Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from the Grantor and (b) are prior
to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof.

         3.3 Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, each Grantor's
jurisdiction of organization and the location of each Grantor's chief executive
office or sole place of business are specified on Schedule B.

         3.4 Receivables. No material amount payable to any Grantor under or in
connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument which has not been
delivered to the Agent. The amounts represented by the Grantor to the Lenders
from time to time as owing to the Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at
such times be accurate.

         3.5 Grantors. The Grantor parties hereto constitute all of the Material
Subsidiaries, Borrower and Guarantors.

<PAGE>

                              SECTION 4. COVENANTS

         Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that,
from and after the date of this Agreement until the Borrower Obligations and the
Grantor Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit
shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated:

         4.1 Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities. If any amount
payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become
evidenced by any Instrument or Certificated Security, such Instrument or
Certificated Security shall be promptly delivered to the Agent, duly endorsed in
a manner satisfactory to the Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement.

         4.2  Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

         (a) Each Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this
Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the priority
described in Section 3.2 and shall defend such security interest against the
claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

         (b) Each Grantor will furnish to the Agent and the Lenders from time to
time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and
property of such Grantor and such other reports in connection therewith relating
to Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

         (c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the
Agent, and at the sole expense of each Grantor, each Grantor will promptly and
duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and
documents and take such further actions as the Agent may reasonably request for
the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and
of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i)
filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial
Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the
security interests created hereby and (ii) in the case of any other relevant
Collateral, taking any actions necessary to enable the Agent to obtain "control"
(within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), if necessary for
perfection, with respect thereto.

         4.3 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Grantor will not, except upon 30
days' prior written notice to the Agent and delivery to the Agent of (a) all
additional executed financing statements and other documents reasonably
requested by the Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the
security interests provided for herein and (b) if applicable, a written
supplement to Schedule A showing any additional location at which Collateral
shall be kept: (i) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location of
its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in
Section 3.3; or (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure to such an
extent that any financing statement filed by the Agent in connection with this
Agreement would become misleading.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         4.4 Notices. Each Grantor will advise the Agent and the Lenders
promptly, in reasonable detail, of any Lien (other than Liens created hereby or
Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would
adversely affect the ability of the Agent to exercise any of its remedies
hereunder; and of the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the
Collateral or on the Liens created hereby.

         4.5 Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business
consistent with its past practice, no Grantor will (i) grant any extension of
the time of payment of any Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable
for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any
Person or any Affiliate liable for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any
credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or
modify any Receivable in any manner that could materially adversely affect the
value thereof.

         4.6 Compliance with Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall comply with
all of the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement which apply to
it by their terms.

                         SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

         5.1  Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

         (a) If required by the Agent at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when
collected by a Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith deposited by such Grantor in the
exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Agent if required, in
a collateral account maintained under the dominion and control of the Agent as
collateral security for the Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations,
subject to withdrawal by the Agent for the account of the Lenders in payment of
the Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations as provided in Section 5.2,
and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the
Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Grantor. Each such
deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying
in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the
deposit.

         (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall
remain liable under each of the Receivables and the Contracts to observe and
perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise
thereto. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability
under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by
reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any
Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Agent or any Lender be
obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under
or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or
Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party thereunder, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

         5.2 Application of Proceeds. After an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Agent's election, the Agent may
apply all or any part of Proceeds held in any collateral account in payment of
the Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations in such order as the Agent
may elect, and any part of such funds which the Agent elects not to so apply and
deems not required as collateral security for the Borrower Obligations and the
Grantor Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Agent to the
Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any
balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Borrower Obligations and the
Grantor Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be
outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be turned over to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

         5.3 Code and Other Remedies. After an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise,
in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement
and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations, all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without further demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of
any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below), to or upon the
Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of
the Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may
deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or
for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The 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 the
whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.
Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral
and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at the Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Agent shall apply
the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.3, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection
therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or
in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent and the Lenders
hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Borrower Obligations
and the Grantor Obligations, in such order as the Agent may elect, and only
after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount
required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section
9-504(l)(c) of the New York UCC, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any,
to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any Lender
arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before
such sale or other disposition.

         5.4 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert
any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-112 of the New
York UCC. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the
Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations and the fees and disbursements
of any attorneys employed by the Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

                              SECTION 6. THE AGENT

         6.1  Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

         (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent
and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own
name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any
and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor
hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without
notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of the following after and
during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                  (i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise,
         take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
         acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under
         any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or
         proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
         appropriate by the Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such
         moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

                  (ii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in
         Section 5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
         conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

                  (iii) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and
         receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to
         become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
         commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in
         equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral
         or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any
         Collateral; defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the
         Grantor with respect to any Collateral; settle, compromise or adjust
         any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give
         such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; and
         generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect
         to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely
         as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes,
         and do, at the Agent's option and the Grantor's expense, at any time,
         or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent deems
         necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

         Agent's and the Lenders' security interests therein and to effect the
         intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor
         might do.

         (b) The expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with actions
undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a
rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then
be payable on any category of past due Base Rate Loans under the Credit
Agreement, from the date of payment by the Agent to the date reimbursed by the
Grantor, shall be payable by the Grantor to the Agent on demand.

         (c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies
contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable
until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are
released.

         6.2 Duty of Agent. The Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the
same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account.
Neither the Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize
upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
the Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Agent
and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Agent's and the Lenders'
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any
Lender to exercise any such powers. The Agent and the Lenders shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         6.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the New York UCC and
any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Agent to file or record
financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with
respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in such form and
in such offices as the Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security
interests of the Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or
other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any
jurisdiction.

         6.4 Authority of Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action
taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option,
request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the Lenders, be
governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect
thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Agent and
the Grantor, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for
the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

the Grantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any
inquiry respecting such authority.

                            SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.

         7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Agent or
the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Credit
Agreement.

         7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the
Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant
to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or
Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent or
any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent or such Lender would
otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of
any other rights or remedies provided by law.

         7.4  Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

         (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agent
for all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights
under this Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which the Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Agent.

         (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Lenders
harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be
payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         (c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the
Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents
and controlling persons (each, an "Indemnitee") harmless from and against any
and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations
and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims,
actions or proceedings by such Indemnitee (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that such Grantor shall have no obligation

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

         (d) The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall survive repayment of the
Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations and all other amounts payable
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that the
Grantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.

         7.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent and
each Lender at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default without notice to the Grantor, any such
notice being expressly waived by the Grantor, to set-off and hold as collateral
security in any collateral account or otherwise as cash collateral for the
Borrower Obligations or the Grantor Obligations to be applied to the Borrower
Obligations or the Grantor Obligations when due, any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by the Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of
the Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Agent or such Lender may
elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Grantor
to the Agent or such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description
of the Agent or such Lender against the Grantor, in any currency, whether
arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Agent or
such Lender may elect, whether or not the Agent or any Lender has made any
demand for payment, whether or not any of the Borrower Obligations or Grantor
Obligations are otherwise fully secured and although such obligations,
liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent and each Lender
shall notify the Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made
by the Agent or such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The rights of the Agent and each Lender under this Section 7.6 are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Agent or such Lender may have.

         7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.

         7.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         7.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are

         7.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent
the agreement of the Grantor, the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by the Agent or any Lender relative to subject
matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in

notified pursuant thereto; (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right

the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and (e) waives, to the maximum
extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any
legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.

         7.13 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has
been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; (b) neither the
