                                 TERM LOAN NOTE

$15,000,000                                                       March 16, 2000
                                                             Arlington, Virginia

            This TERM LOAN NOTE (hereinafter, the "Note" or the "Term Loan
Note") is executed and delivered under and pursuant to the terms of that certain
Credit Facility Agreement dated as of March 16, 2000 (as may be amended from
time to time hereafter, the "Credit Agreement") by and among BIZNESSONLINE.COM,
INC. and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries (including any successor
or permitted assignee thereof, each, a "Borrower"; collectively, the
"Borrowers"), and the Lenders which are or which become parties to the Credit
Agreement, and MCG FINANCE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (including any
successor, assignee, transferee, pledgee or participant thereof, "Administrative
Agent" or, in its capacity as the Lender under this Note, "Payee Lender").

            FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each undersigned Borrower (jointly and
severally) hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Payee Lender
on or before the Term Loan Maturity Date, the principal sum of FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS ($15,000,000) (as such amount may be increased from time to time in
Lenders' sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement), or such other amount as may have been advanced to or on behalf of
Borrowers and is at the time outstanding hereunder or under the Term Loan
Facility of the Credit Agreement, together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon computed daily until paid at the varying rates per annum set forth in
the Credit Agreement and all unpaid expenses, fees and other advances connected
herewith.

            The outstanding principal amount hereunder and under the Term Loan
Facility will bear interest (computed daily until paid, whether prior to or
after the Term Loan Maturity Date) that will be accrued, calculated imposed, due
and payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

            Repayments of principal, together with all accrued but unpaid
interest on the outstanding balance under the Term Loan Facility, are due and
payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. On the Term Loan
Maturity Date, Borrowers will pay Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit
of Payee Lender and the other Lenders and without necessity of notice or demand)
the entire outstanding balance hereunder and under the Term Loan Facility,
together with all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder and all fees, expenses
and other advances connected herewith.

            All payments (including prepayments) of principal, interest, fees
and any other amounts due hereunder must be received by Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds on or before Two O'clock (2:00) p.m. Eastern Time
("ET") on the due date therefor at the principal office of Administrative Agent
at 1100 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 800, Arlington, Virginia 22209 or at such other
place as Administrative Agent or any other holder of this Term Loan Note may at
any time or from time to time designate in writing.

<PAGE>

            Whenever any payment to be made hereunder is due on a day that is
not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day, and such extension of time will be included in the computation of interest
due hereunder. Any funds received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. ET on
any day will be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.

            A default or breach of any term, condition or covenant under this
Note will constitute a Default under the Credit Agreement, and an Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document will constitute an
immediate Event of Default under this Note. In addition, it shall also
constitute an Event of Default hereunder if any Borrower fails to pay when due
any payment of principal or interest or any other sum payable to Administrative
Agent or any Lender under the Term Loan Facility and such failure continues for
five (5) Business Days after the due date therefor. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default hereunder and at any time thereafter (at the election of
Administrative Agent, but with notice to a Borrower), Administrative Agent may
declare all or any portion of the indebtedness of any or all Borrowers to Payee
Lender (hereunder or otherwise, but including the unpaid balance of principal,
interest and fees hereunder) to be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the relevant Event of Default relates to the insolvency or
bankruptcy of any Borrower, then such acceleration will occur automatically with
respect to the entire indebtedness and without notice. Upon any such
declaration, Administrative Agent and Lenders will have the immediate right to
enforce and realize upon any guaranty and/or collateral security for the
indebtedness hereunder in any manner or order that Required Lenders or
Administrative Agent (at the direction of Required Lenders) deems expedient
without regard to any equitable principles of marshalling or otherwise. In
addition to any rights granted hereunder or in any documents delivered in
connection herewith, Administrative Agent and Lenders will also have all other
rights and remedies permissible under any applicable law (including the rights
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code), and all such rights and
remedies will be cumulative in nature.

            Upon the occurrence and during the existence of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, each Borrower (jointly and
severally) hereby agrees (to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable
law) to pay to Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of Payee Lender and
the other Lenders) (upon Administrative Agent's request) a default rate of
interest as provided for in the Credit Agreement. In addition, if Administrative
Agent does not receive any payments (of principal, interest, fees or other
charges) in immediately available funds on or before the seventh (7th) calendar
day after the due date therefor, then each Borrrower (jointly and severally)
hereby agrees (to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law) to pay to
Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of Payee Lender and the other
Lenders) (upon Administrative Agent's request) a late payment charge as provided
for in the Credit Agreement.

            If, after the occurrence of any Default under any Loan Document,
counsel is retained to advise Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
therewith, to collect, compromise or settle the indebtedness evidenced hereby or
to otherwise protect the security hereof, each Borrower (jointly and severally)
agrees to pay (to the maximum extent not

                                       2
<PAGE>

prohibited by applicable law) reasonable fees and all other costs and expenses
of such counsel incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender.

            Each Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand
for payment, notice of protest and non-payment, notice of dishonor, and any and
all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, acceleration or enforcement of this Term Loan Note. Each
Borrower, in addition, hereby consents (without the necessity of prior notice)
to any extensions of time, renewals, releases of any party hereto or guarantor
hereof, waivers and/or modifications in connection herewith that may be granted
or consented to by Administrative Agent from time to time. Each Borrower also
waives any defenses and rights of discharge to its obligations hereunder that it
may have or may hereafter acquire based on suretyship or impairment of
collateral (including lack of attachment or perfection with respect thereto).

            No delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any power or right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof nor
will any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude
other or further exercises thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
This Term Loan Note is binding on each Borrower and each Borrower's successors
and assigns and is enforceable by Administrative Agent, Payee Lender and their
successors, assigns, transferees and participants. If any term or provision of
this Term Loan Note is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of
all other terms and provisions hereof will in no way be affected thereby.

            Nothing contained in this Term Loan Note will require any Borrower
to pay interest at a rate or any fee or expense in an amount prohibited by
applicable law. If interest or any fee or expense payable to Administrative
Agent on any date would be in a prohibited amount, such interest, fee or expense
will be automatically reduced to an amount that is not prohibited, and interest
or such fee or expense for subsequent periods, to the extent not prohibited,
will be increased by the amount of such reduction until payment of the full
amount of each such reduction. Any prohibited amount previously paid will be
credited towards reduction of the outstanding principal balance.

            Liability Waiver. Each Borrower (a) agrees that neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender (nor any director, officer, employee or
agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender) shall have any liability to any
Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses or costs
suffered or incurred by any Borrower in connection with or in any way related to
the transactions contemplated or the relationship established by this Note or
any other Loan Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
therewith, except for foreseeable actual losses resulting directly and
exclusively from Administrative Agent's or such Lender's own gross negligence,
willful misconduct or fraud and (b) waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon
any claim against Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their directors,
officers, employees or agents) whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise,
except for claims for foreseeable actual losses resulting directly and
exclusively from Administrative Agent's or such Lender's own gross negligence,
willful misconduct or fraud. Moreover, whether or not such damages are related
to a claim that is subject to the waiver effected above and whether or not such
waiver is effective, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender (nor any
director, officer,

                                       3
<PAGE>

employee or agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender) shall have any
liability with respect to (and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees
not to sue upon any claim for) any special, indirect, consequential, punitive or
non-foreseeable damages suffered by any Borrower in connection with or in any
way related to the transactions contemplated or the relationship established by
any Loan Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
herewith or therewith.

            Jurisdictional and Related Consents. Any litigation in connection
with or in any way related to this Note, or any course of conduct, course of
dealing, statements (whether verbal or written), actions or inactions of
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower will be brought and maintained
exclusively in the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia or in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia; provided, however,
that any suit seeking enforcement hereof against any Borrower, any Collateral or
any other property may also be brought (at Administrative Agent's or such
Lender's option) in the courts of any other jurisdiction where such Collateral
or other property may be found or where Administrative Agent or such Lender may
otherwise obtain personal jurisdiction over such Borrower. Each Borrower hereby
expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and of the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia for the purpose of any such litigation as set forth above
and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final and non-appealable judgment
rendered thereby in connection with such litigation. Each Borrower further
irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, or by personal service within or outside the Commonwealth of
Virginia. Each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have or hereafter may have
to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred
to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. To the extent that any Borrower has or hereafter may acquire
any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether
through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of
execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, then such
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations
under this Note.

            Jury Trial Waiver. Administrative Agent, each Lender and each
Borrower each hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any rights
it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation (whether as claim,
counter-claim, affirmative defense or otherwise) in connection with or in any
way related to this Note or any of the Loan Documents or any course of conduct,
course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written), actions or inactions
of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges
and agrees (a) that it has received full and sufficient consideration for this
provision (and each other provision of each other Loan Document to which it is a
party), and (b) that it has been advised by legal counsel in connection
herewith, and (c) that this provision is a material inducement for
Administrative Agent and each Lender entering into the Loan Documents and
funding the Advance thereunder.

                                       4

            Payee Lender, and its successors or assigns, at any time and from
time to time, may assign, participate and syndicate all or any part of its
rights under this Term Loan Note pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 of the
Credit Agreement.

            This Term Loan Note is the "Term Loan Note" referred to in, and
arises out of, the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains, among other
things, provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the occurrence
of certain stated events and also for prepayments of the principal hereunder
prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions specified therein.
Payment of this Note is secured by various forms of property pledged and
encumbered to Administrative Agent as Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents.

            In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms and
conditions of this Term Loan Note and the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement or other Loan Documents, the terms and conditions of this Term Loan
Note shall govern.

            This Term Loan Note is governed by and is to be construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to
the conflicts of law provisions thereof.

of each Borrower and each other Obligor now or hereafter existing under the

Agreement creates a continuing security interest in and collateral assignment
and pledge of the Collateral and will remain in full force and effect until

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees, participants and
assignees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except to the
extent restricted under the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent and each
Lender may assign, syndicate, participate or otherwise transfer (in whole or in

become vested with all the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to
Administrative Agent or such Lender under any such Loan Document (including this

pledge granted herein will terminate (and all rights to the Collateral will

indefeasibly) and (b) the termination of the Credit Agreement (and the
Facilities thereunder). Upon any such termination, Administrative Agent (at

(without any representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever) such
documents as such Grantor may reasonably request and provide to Administrative
Agent to evidence such termination, and (b) will deliver to a Grantor or to

      1.4. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Administrative Agent and
Lenders and the security interests, collateral assignments and pledges granted,
assigned and pledged to Administrative Agent hereunder, and all obligations of
each Grantor hereunder, are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
occurrence of any one or more of the following:

            a.    Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document;
                  or

            b.    The failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender or any
                  holder of any Note:

                  1.    To assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
                        remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or
                        otherwise, or

                  2.    To exercise any right or remedy against any other
                        Obligor of, or any collateral securing, any obligations
                        of any Borrower owing to any Lender; or

            c.    Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
                  any other term of, any Secured Obligation; or

            d.    Any other extension, increase, refinancing, restructuring,
                  compromise or renewal of any Secured Obligation; or

            e.    Any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any
                  Secured Obligation for any reason, including any waiver,
                  release, surrender, alteration or compromise; or

                                       6
<PAGE>

            f.    Any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification
                  of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of any Loan
                  Document; or

            g.    Any addition, exchange, release, surrender or nonperfection of
                  any collateral (including the Collateral), or any amendment to
                  or waiver or release of or addition to or consent to departure
                  from any guaranty, for any Secured Obligation; or

            h.    Any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a
                  defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of,
                  any Grantor or its obligations hereunder, including, without
                  limitation, any and all suretyship defenses.

Each Grantor hereby waives any right to or any claim of any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of any invalidity,
illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or
any other event or occurrence affecting, any Secured Obligation.

      1.5. Equity Pledge.

            a. Grant of Security Interest. Pursuant to Section 1.1, without
limiting the generality thereof, each Grantor pledges, hypothecates, assigns,
charges, mortgages, delivers, and transfers to Administrative Agent and grants
to Administrative Agent a present, absolute, unconditional and continuing
security interest in all of the following property (collectively, "Pledged
Equity Collateral"):

                  1.    All Pledged Equity currently owned by such Grantor; and

                  2.    All Pledged Equity issued from time to time hereafter to
                        such Grantor; and

                  3.    All other Pledged Equity Property (including, all
                        options and warrants for Pledged Equity) owned by such
                        Grantor, whether now or hereafter delivered to
                        Administrative Agent in connection with this Security
                        Agreement; and

                  4.    All Dividends, Distributions, capital accounts, and
                        other payments and rights with respect to any Pledged
                        Equity Property received or receivable by such Grantor;
                        and

                  5.    All proceeds of any of the foregoing; and

in each case, whether now existing or owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor and howsoever such Grantor's interest therein may arise or appear
(whether by ownership, security interest, claim or otherwise).

            b. Delivery of Pledged Equity Property. To the extent that any of
the Collateral is evidenced by a certificate or instrument, then all such
certificates or instruments (a) must be

                                       7
<PAGE>

delivered to and held by or on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant hereto,
and (b) must be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, and (c) must be
accompanied by all necessary powers, appointments and instruments of transfer or
assignment, duly executed in blank.

            c. Dividends and Distributions on Pledged Shares. Except as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all Dividends, Distributions,
non-Dividend cash payments, and proceeds thereof paid or payable to any Grantor
must be paid directly to Administrative Agent (properly endorsed if required
hereby or requested by Administrative Agent) as additional Collateral hereunder,
unless and until Administrative Agent has terminated this Security Agreement as
provided in Section 1.3. All Dividends, Distributions, cash payments, and
proceeds that at any time and from time to time may be delivered to any Grantor
but which such Grantor is then obligated to deliver to Administrative Agent,
until delivery to Administrative Agent, must be held by such Grantor (a) in
trust for Administrative Agent and (b) separate, segregated and apart from its
other property.

      1.6. Collateral Assignment of Contracts.

            a. Grant of Security Interest. Pursuant to Section 1.1, without
limiting the generality thereof, each Grantor collaterally assigns to
Administrative Agent all of such Grantor's right, title and interest in and to
all of such Grantor's contracts, licenses, leases and other agreements and all
rights, interests, powers, privileges and other benefits thereunder (including
the rights to receive all proceeds and payments under each such contract,
license, lease and other agreement). This assignment of each contract, license,
lease and other agreement constitutes a fully perfected, absolute, unconditional
and present assignment, provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such Grantor may exercise any rights and powers under and may
receive all payments and enjoy all other benefits of each such contract,
license, lease and other agreement, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

            b. Administrative Agent's Right to Cure. Administrative Agent shall
have the right (but not the obligation) to cure or remedy any breach or default
under any contract, license, lease or other agreement on the part of any
Grantor. The exercise by Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder
will not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any
such contracts, licenses, leases or other agreements included in the Collateral.
Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation or liability
under any such contracts, licenses, leases or other agreements included in the
Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement, nor is Administrative Agent or
any Lender obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor
thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment
assigned hereunder.

      1.7. Collateral Interest in Certain Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding
the language of Section 1.1, Administrative Agent's interest in Copyrights,
Patents and Trademarks (and any applications therefor) is as a security interest
and pledge and not as an absolute assignment.

      1.8. Restrictions on Granting Security Interests and Collateral
Assignments. Notwithstanding the terms of this Security Agreement, the
collateral assignment of and security interest in a Grantor's interests in
contracts, licenses, leases and other agreements shall not apply to

                                       8
<PAGE>

any contract, license, lease or other agreement to the extent that each of the
following characteristics are satisfied with respect thereto: (a) it either (i)
exists on the Closing Date, or (ii) is a Material Contract entered into after
the Closing Date in accordance with the standards under Section 5.16 of the
Credit Agreement, or (iii) is not a Material Contract, and (b) its existence has
been disclosed to the Administrative Agent to the extent it is a Material
Contract, and (c) it expressly prohibits the granting of a security interest in
or the collateral assignment of such Grantor's interest therein, and (d) such
prohibition is enforceable under applicable law.

                    ARTICLE 2: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent as set
forth in this Article. These representations and warranties are qualified in
their entirety by any and all disclosures made in the schedules to the Credit
Agreement.

the Equipment and Inventory of each Grantor is located at the address set forth
below the name of such Grantor on the signature page hereof. Except as
identified on Schedule 2.1, within the four months preceding the date of this
Security Agreement, none of the Equipment or Inventory has been located at any
place other than at such address. The principal places of business and chief
executive office of each Grantor and the offices where each Grantor keeps its
records concerning the Contract Rights and Related Contracts are located at the
address identified on Schedule 2.1.

      2.2. Operating Names. Except as identified on Schedule 2.2, during the
preceding 12 years, no Grantor has been (a) operating under or known by any
legal or trade name different from the one set forth on the signature page
hereto or (b) the subject of any merger or other corporate reorganization.

      2.3. Ownership; No Liens. Except as identified on Schedule 2.3, Grantors
are the sole and exclusive owners of or have the irrevocable, exclusive and
transferable right to possess and use the Collateral, and Grantors have full
authority to pledge, assign and grant a security interest in the Collateral. The
Collateral is free and clear of any Lien except (a) the security interest,
collateral assignment and pledge created by this Security Agreement and (b) as
otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement. No effective financing statement or
other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is
on file in any recording office, except (1) financing statements and
intellectual property security agreements filed in favor of Administrative Agent
relating to this Security Agreement and (2) such other financing statements and

      2.5. Negotiable Documents, Instruments, Certificated Securities and
Chattel Paper. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, each Grantor has
delivered to Administrative Agent possession of all originals of all negotiable
documents, certificated securities, instruments and chattel paper (other than
checks received in the ordinary course of business) currently owned or held by
such Grantor (duly endorsed in blank, if requested by Administrative Agent).

      2.6. Intellectual Property Collateral. Except as disclosed on the
schedules to the Credit Agreement, with respect to each item of Intellectual
Property Collateral:

            a. Such Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting, valid and
enforceable, and to each Grantor's knowledge (after due inquiry), such
Intellectual Property Collateral has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable,
in whole or in part.

            b. To each Grantor's knowledge (after due inquiry), no claim has
been made that the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral does or may
violate the asserted rights of any third party.

            c. Each Grantor has performed all acts and has paid all required
fees and taxes to maintain each and every item of its Intellectual Property
Collateral in full force and effect throughout the world, as applicable, except
where such fees and taxes are being contested in good faith with diligent
prosecution.

            d. Each Grantor owns directly, or is entitled to use by license or
otherwise, all Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets, Copyrights, licenses,
technology, know-how, processes and rights with respect to any of the foregoing
used in, necessary for or of importance to the conduct of such Grantor's
business. To the extent any such Intellectual Property Collateral was developed
or created for or on behalf of any Grantor as a "work for hire," then such
Grantor has obtained a waiver of any rights herein by the author or creator
hereof.

      2.7. As to Pledged Shares. With respect to any Pledged Equity constituting
Collateral, all of such Pledged Equity is duly authorized and validly issued,
fully paid, and non-assessable. The Pledged Equity constitutes all of the issued
and outstanding shares (and other rights) of equity ownership of each Pledged
Equity Issuer owned by any Grantor.

      2.8. Valid and Perfected Security Interest. This Security Agreement
creates a valid security interest in and collateral assignment and pledge of the
Collateral and proceeds thereof securing the payment of the Secured Obligations.
All filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such
security interest, collateral assignment and pledge have been duly taken or will
be duly taken as of the effective date hereof. Schedule 2.8 (a) lists each
filing (including filing locations and "debtor" names) that is necessary or
appropriate to perfect the security interests, collateral assignments and
pledges created hereby (including with respect to Intellectual Property
Collateral), and (b) identifies the items of Collateral that must be delivered
to or possessed by Administrative Agent to perfect Administrative Agent's
interest hereunder. Upon perfection (as described in this Section), such
security interest, collateral assignment and pledge will be of a first priority
ranking except as and to the extent noted in Section 2.3 (or on the
corresponding schedule thereto).

                                       10

      2.9. Authorization and Approval. Except as noted in Section 2.8 (or on the

either (a) for the grant by any Grantor of the security interest, collateral
assignment and pledge granted hereby, or (b) for the execution, delivery and
performance of this Security Agreement by any Grantor, or (c) for the perfection
by Administrative Agent of its rights and interests hereunder, or (d) except as
provided in Section 5.9(d), for the exercise by Administrative Agent of its
rights and remedies hereunder.

      2.10. Compliance with Laws and Contracts. Each Grantor is (and after
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party,
such Grantor will be) in compliance in all material respects with the
requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, policies, orders and
decrees of every Official Body and with all contractual restrictions, in either
instance the non-compliance with which individually or in the aggregate could
reasonably be expected to have or cause a Material Adverse Effect.

      2.11. Validity of Obligations. This Security Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Grantor and is enforceable against
each Grantor in accordance with the terms hereof.

      2.12. Solvency; Fraudulent Transfers. No Grantor is "insolvent," as such
term is defined in Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss.
101(32)). No Grantor, by virtue of its obligations and actions in connection
with the Loan Documents, has engaged or is engaging in any transaction that
constitutes a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under applicable
federal or state law (including under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or
under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act).

                              ARTICLE 3: COVENANTS

      Each Grantor covenants and agrees that, so long as this Security Agreement
remains effective, each Grantor will comply with the covenants set forth in this
Article, unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents in writing.

      3.1. As to Equipment and Inventory.

            a. Except as permitted by Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement, each
Grantor will keep all the Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory and
Equipment sold in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by
the Credit Agreement) at the places therefor specified in Section 2.1 or (upon
prior written notice to Administrative Agent of at least 30 calendar days) at
such other places in a jurisdiction where all of the representations and
warranties in Article 2 at that time will be true and correct. Each Grantor will
take all actions necessary to ensure the continued perfection of Administrative
Agent's interest in such Equipment and Inventory.

            b. Each Grantor will maintain and preserve the Equipment in the same
condition, repair and working order as when new (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) and in all material respects

                                       11
<PAGE>

in accordance with all manufacturer's manuals. Each Grantor will forthwith (or,
in the case of any loss or damage to any Equipment, as quickly as practicable
after the occurrence thereof) make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements
and other improvements in connection with the Equipment that are necessary or
desirable to maintain the Equipment in accordance with the standard set forth in
this Section. Each Grantor will promptly furnish to Administrative Agent a
statement respecting any loss or damage to any of the Equipment.

            c. Each Grantor will pay promptly before delinquent all property and
other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and
all claims (whether for labor, materials or supplies) against, the Equipment and
Inventory, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside.

      3.2. As to Contracts and Related Rights.

            a. Each Grantor will keep its principal place of business and chief
executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the
Contract Rights and Related Contracts, and all originals of all chattel paper
which evidence Contract Rights, located at the places therefor specified in
Section 2.1 or (upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent of at least 30
calendar days) at such other places in a jurisdiction where all of the
representations and warranties in Article 2 at that time will be true and
correct. Each Grantor will take all actions necessary to ensure the continued
perfection of Administrative Agent's interest in the Contract Rights and Related
Contracts. No Grantor will change its name except upon prior written notice to
Administrative Agent of at least 30 calendar days. Each Grantor will hold and
preserve such records and chattel paper concerning the Contract Rights and
Related Contracts and will permit representatives of Administrative Agent or any
Lender at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts
from such records and chattel paper.

            b. Each Grantor will remain liable under the contracts, licenses,
leases and other agreements included in the Collateral to the extent set forth
therein. Without limiting the foregoing, unless a Grantor otherwise receives
Administrative Agent's prior written consent (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld while no Default is occurring), then such Grantor (a) will
faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each and every material obligation,
covenant and agreement under each Material Contract (as such term is defined in
the Credit Agreement) to be performed by such Grantor, and (b) will not
materially amend, modify or otherwise alter the terms of any Material Contract
(including the term or duration thereof or the amount of or methodology for
calculating the compensation due thereunder), and (c) will not assign its rights
under any Material Contract, and (d) will not accept (and will not take any
action to cause) a surrender, termination, revocation or cancellation of any
Material Contract unless replaced by a substantially similar contractual
relationship reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (e) will enforce
the performance of each and every material obligation, covenant and condition of
each Material Contract to be performed by the other parties thereto, and (f)
will appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under or in any
manner connected with any Material Contract.

            c. Each Grantor will give prompt written notice to Administrative
Agent of the occurrence of any default, breach or other material event,
condition or circumstance relating to any

                                       12
<PAGE>

of such Grantor's Material Contracts (together, if applicable, with a true and
complete copy of any related written notice that such Grantor may have given to
or received from any other party thereto).

      3.3. As to Pledged Equity Collateral.

            a. Powers and Appointments. Each Grantor agrees that all Pledged
Equity (and all other equity ownership interests constituting Pledged Equity
Collateral) delivered by any Grantor pursuant to this Security Agreement will be
accompanied by duly executed undated blank powers, appointments or other
equivalent instruments of transfer acceptable to Administrative Agent. From time
to time at Administrative Agent's request, each Grantor will promptly deliver to
Administrative Agent such powers, appointments, instruments and similar
documents (satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent) with
respect to the Collateral. From time to time at Administrative Agent's request
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Grantor will promptly
transfer any Pledged Equity or other shares of capital stock or ownership
interests constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by
Administrative Agent.

            b. Continuous Pledge; Protect Pledged Equity Collateral. At all
times, each Grantor will keep pledged to Administrative Agent pursuant hereto
all Pledged Equity, all other Pledged Collateral, all Dividends and
Distributions with respect thereto (subject, however, to Section 1.5.c), and all
other securities, instruments, proceeds, capital accounts, and rights from time
to time received by or distributable to any Grantor in respect of any Pledged
Equity Collateral. Each Grantor will warrant and defend the right and title
herein granted to Administrative Agent in and to the Pledged Equity Collateral
(and all right, title, and interest represented by the Pledged Equity
Collateral) against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

            c. Delivery of Dividends, Distributions and Other Collateral. Except
as provided in the Credit Agreement, promptly upon receipt and without any
request by Administrative Agent, each Grantor agrees to deliver to
Administrative Agent (properly endorsed if required hereby or requested by
Administrative Agent) all Distributions, all Dividends (subject, however, to
Section 1.5.c), all other non-Dividend cash payments, and all proceeds thereof,
all of which will be held by Administrative Agent as additional Pledged Equity
Collateral. All Dividends, Distributions, cash payments, and proceeds that at
any time and from time to time may be delivered to any Grantor but which such
Grantor is then obligated to deliver to Administrative Agent, until delivery to
Administrative Agent, must be held by such Grantor (a) in trust for
Administrative Agent and (b) separate, segregated and apart from its other
property.

            d. Voting Rights.

                  1. Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Grantor will have the exclusive right to exercise all voting
rights with respect to its Pledged Equity. Upon written request from a Grantor
(and at such Grantor's sole expense), Administrative Agent will promptly execute
and deliver such proxies and other documents, if any, as reasonably requested in
writing by such Grantor (together with a reasonably acceptable form thereof)
that are necessary to allow such Grantor to exercise voting power with respect
to any such Pledged Equity owned by such Grantor constituting Pledged Equity
Collateral; provided, however, that no vote may be cast or other action taken by
any Grantor (including, the giving of any consent, waiver, or

                                       13
<PAGE>

ratification) that could impair any Pledged Equity Collateral or would otherwise
be inconsistent with or violate any provision of any Loan Document (including
this Security Agreement).

                  2. After any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and Administrative Agent has notified any Grantor of Administrative Agent's
intention to exercise its voting power, unless otherwise then expressly
impermissible under applicable law, Administrative Agent may exercise (to the
exclusion of each Grantor) the voting power and all other incidental rights of
ownership with respect to any Pledged Equity or other ownership interests
constituting Pledged Equity Collateral. Each Grantor hereby grants
Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy, exercisable under such circumstances,
to vote the Pledged Equity and such other Pledged Equity Collateral. Each
Grantor hereby covenants to promptly deliver to Administrative Agent such
additional proxies, appointments and other documents as may be necessary to
allow Administrative Agent to exercise such voting power and other incidental
ownership rights.

      3.4. As to Intellectual Property Collateral.

            a. No Grantor (1) will fail to maintain (in a manner consistent with
its historical practices) the quality of products and services offered under all
of the Trademark Collateral, or (2) will fail to employ with all of the
Trademark Collateral (whether or not registered with any Official Body) an
appropriate notice of such trademark, or (3) will fail to employ with all of the
Copyright Collateral an appropriate notice of such copyright, or (4) will fail
to employ with any Patent Collateral registered with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, or in a foreign country, an appropriate notice of such
registration.

            b. No Grantor will do or permit any act (or knowingly omit to do any
act) whereby any of the Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become
abandoned, forfeited, invalid, dedicated to the public or unenforceable (except
upon expiration of the end of an unrenewable term of a registration thereof)
without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld while no Default is occurring).

            c. Each Grantor will promptly notify Administrative Agent if such
Grantor believes (or has reason to believe) that (1) any application or
registration relating to any material item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral may become abandoned, dedicated to the public, placed in the public
domain, invalid or unenforceable, or (2) there has been or will be an adverse
determination or development (including the institution of, or any determination
or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office or any other Official Body) regarding
such Grantor's ownership of any material item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral, its right to register the same, or its right to keep, maintain and
enforce the same.

            d. If any Grantor files an application for the registration of any
Intellectual Property Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office or any other Official Body, then such
Grantor must notify Administrative Agent thereof within 30 calendar days
thereafter, and upon request of Administrative Agent, must promptly execute and
deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers that
Administrative

                                       14
<PAGE>

Agent may request to evidence Administrative Agent's security interest in such
Intellectual Property Collateral.

            e. Each Grantor will perform all acts and will pay all required fees
and taxes (including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any other Official Body)
to maintain each and every item of Intellectual Property Collateral in full
force and effect throughout the world and to pursue any application filed with
respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral, including the filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and
opposition, and interference and cancellation proceedings.

            f. Upon any Grantor's acquiring any Intellectual Property Collateral
the acquisition of which must be recorded in order to perfect such Grantor's
interest therein, then such Grantor will promptly record its interest therein
and will notify Administrative Agent thereof within 30 calendar days thereafter.

            g. Each Grantor (1) will protect, defend and maintain the validity
and enforceability of the Intellectual Property Collateral, and (2) will use its
best efforts to detect infringements of the Intellectual Property Collateral and
promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of material infringements
detected.

            h. Each Grantor, on a continuing basis, will register such Grantor's
Trademarks, pursue patent protection for such Grantor's inventions, and register
the most recent versions of any of such Grantor's Copyrights.

            i. No Grantor will enter into any agreement that would materially
impair or conflict with such Grantor's obligations hereunder with respect to its
Intellectual Property Collateral. No Grantor will permit the inclusion in any
material contract to which it becomes a party any provisions that could in any
way prevent the creation of a security interest in such Grantor's rights and
interest in any property included within the definition of the Intellectual
Property Collateral acquired or licensed under such contracts. No Grantor will
arrange for the creation or development of any Intellectual Property Collateral
as a "work for hire" without concurrently obtaining a waiver of all rights
therein by the author or creator thereof.

            j. Each Grantor will promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing
upon obtaining knowledge of any event that materially adversely affects (1) the
value of any material Intellectual Property Collateral, or (2) the ability of
such Grantor to dispose of any material Intellectual Property Collateral, or (3)
the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent in relation thereto, including
the levy of any legal process against any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral.

            k. Each Grantor, on a continuing basis, will make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver, and will file and record in the proper filing and
recording places in the United States, all such instruments, collateral
agreements and filings (including all appropriate financing and continuation
statements) with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office and the Register
of Copyrights, and will take all such action as Administrative Agent may
reasonably deem to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect
Administrative Agent's security interest in all Intellectual

                                       15
<PAGE>

Property Collateral and otherwise to carry out the intent and purpose of this
Security Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Administrative Agent the
grant or perfection of a security interest in all Intellectual Property
Collateral.

      3.5. As to Customer and Material Business Records and Computer Software.

            a. Upon Administrative Agent's request, each Grantor (at its cost
and expense) will maintain at a separate location a duplicate current copy of
(1) all lists, files and records of active and prospective customers and
subscribers, and (2) all material computer software and data bases (including
all material application and operating system software and all material data
files and operating manuals), and (3) all other material business files, records
and software that Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing from
time to time. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents, such records,
materials and information must be kept (at Grantors' election) either with
Administrative Agent or with an unrelated business that is engaged in the
business of storing such items and that is reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Clause, such records, materials and
information will be considered "current" if they were accurate and complete
within the immediately preceding 30 calendar days.

            b. If any Grantor elects to keep such records, materials and
information with an unrelated business, then (upon Administrative Agent's
request) such Grantor will notify such business at which such records, materials
and information are maintained (1) that Administrative Agent, each Lender and
their representatives are authorized from time to time to inspect, examine,
audit and make copies and abstracts of such records, materials and information
during normal business hours, and (2) that, upon receipt of written notice from
Administrative Agent that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan
Documents, such business is to release and deliver such records, materials and
information to Administrative Agent in such manner and at such place as
Administrative Agent may direct (in its sole and absolute discretion), and (3)
that such business is not to release or return such records, materials or
information to any Grantor without Administrative Agent's prior written consent
unless (a) such Grantor has delivered a more current version thereof to such
business or (b) this Security Agreement has been terminated in accordance with
Section 1.3.

            c. Each Grantor will also otherwise utilize standard industry
precautions to safeguard the utility, value and confidentiality of all such
records, materials and information covered by this Section.

      3.6. As to Certain Investment Property (including Margin Stock). Without
obtaining Administrative Agent's prior written consent (which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld while no Default is occurring), no Grantor will
establish or maintain any "securities account" or "financial asset" with any
"securities intermediary" (as such terms are defined in Article 8 of the UCC),
unless a control agreement acceptable in form and substance to Administrative
Agent is first executed by such "securities intermediary" securing
Administrative Agent's first priority interest and rights in and to all
"financial assets" and "security entitlements" associated with such "securities
account". Without obtaining Administrative Agent's prior written consent (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld while no Default is occurring), no
Grantor will purchase or carry any "Margin Stock" within the meaning of
Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

                                       16
<PAGE>

      3.7. Insurance. Each Grantor will maintain insurance coverages to the same
extent and subject to the same requirements and conditions as required for
Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. Payments and proceeds of claims or losses
in respect of insurance coverage are to be delivered to Administrative Agent and
may be held by Administrative Agent (at its discretion) as additional Collateral
for, and at any time during the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied
by Administrative Agent in whole or in part against, all or any part of the
Secured Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent elects.

      3.8. Transfers and Other Liens.

            a. No Grantor will sell, transfer, assign, lease, license or
otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except (1) Inventory sold, leased or
licensed in the ordinary course of business to unrelated third parties for value
received, and (2) Equipment that has become obsolete or worn out, and (3)
Equipment leased or licensed in the ordinary course of business to unrelated
third parties for value received, and (4) Intellectual Property Collateral
licensed to unrelated third parties for value received and subject to at least
commercially reasonable terms and conditions from the perspective of such
Grantor, and (5) as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

            b. Each Grantor will maintain the security interest, collateral
assignment and pledge created hereby as a first priority interest (except as
otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement), and no Grantor will create or
suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to secure
any indebtedness or obligations of any Person, (except as otherwise permitted by
the Credit Agreement).

      3.9. Further Assurances. Each Grantor (from time to time at its own
expense) will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and will take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable
(or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request) in order to perfect,
preserve and protect any security interest, collateral assignment or pledge
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor:

            a. Will mark conspicuously each chattel paper included in the
Contract Rights and, at the request of Administrative Agent, each of its records
pertaining to the Collateral with a legend (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent) indicating that such chattel paper is
subject to the security interest, collateral assignment and pledge granted
hereby; and

            b. If any Contract Rights shall be evidenced by a promissory note or
other instrument, negotiable document or chattel paper, then will deliver and
pledge to Administrative Agent hereunder such promissory note, instrument,
negotiable document or chattel paper duly endorsed and accompanied by duly
executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and

            c. Will execute and file such financing or continuation statements,
or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices as may be necessary
(or as

                                       17
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent may reasonably request) in order to perfect and preserve
the security interests, collateral assignments, pledges and other rights granted
or purported to be granted to Administrative Agent hereby; and

            d. Will furnish to Administrative Agent (from time to time at
Administrative Agent's request) statements and schedules further identifying and
describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the
Collateral as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable
detail.

With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest, collateral
assignment and pledge hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative
Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of
such Grantor where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement covering the
Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement
where permitted by law.

                                ARTICLE 4: LENDER

      4.1. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the name, place and stead of such Grantor or otherwise,
from time to time in Administrative Agent's reasonable discretion, to take any
action and to execute any instrument which Administrative Agent may deem
reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security
Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default. This authority includes the following:

            a.    To ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise,
                  restructure, receive and give acquittance and receipts for
                  moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
                  Collateral; and/or

            b.    To notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to
                  make payment to Administrative Agent of any amount due or to
                  become due in connection therewith; and/or

            c.    To receive, endorse, and collect any drafts, checks or other
                  instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with
                  Clause "a" of this Section; and/or

            d.    To file any claims or take any action or institute any
                  proceedings which Administrative Agent may deem reasonably
                  necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
                  Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
                  Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Grantor with respect
                  to any of the Collateral; and/or

                                       18
<PAGE>

            e.    To execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor)
                  endorsements, assignments, powers and other instruments of
                  conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the
                  Collateral; and/or

            f.    To perform any and all of the affirmative obligations and
                  covenants of such Grantor hereunder (with notice thereof to be
                  provided to such Grantor by Administrative Agent within a
                  reasonable time thereafter).

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest,
but that it will terminate upon the termination of this Security Agreement
pursuant to Section 1.3.

      4.2. Administrative Agent May Perform. From time to time, Administrative
Agent (at its option) may perform (or may cause the performance of) any act
which any Grantor agrees hereunder to perform and which such Grantor fails to
perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that
no such request need be given during the continuance of an Event of Default),
and Administrative Agent from time to time may also take any other action which
Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance,
preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest
therein or collateral assignments or pledges thereof. The costs and expenses of
Administrative Agent incurred in connection with any such performance will be
payable by Grantors (jointly and severally) pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof.

      4.3. Administrative Agent Has No Duty. The rights and powers conferred
upon Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect Administrative Agent's
and each Lender's interest in the Collateral and do not impose any duty on
Administrative Agent to exercise any such rights or powers. Except for
reasonable care of any Collateral in Administrative Agent's possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Administrative Agent
has no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral.

      4.4. Reasonable Care. Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its
possession; provided, however, Administrative Agent will be deemed to have
exercised such reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the
Collateral if Administrative Agent takes such action for that purpose as any
Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than after the occurrence
or during the continuance of a Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
failure or refusal by Administrative Agent at any time to comply with any such
request by any Grantor will not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise
reasonable care.

                        ARTICLE 5: DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

      5.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any "Event of Default" under and
as defined in the Credit Agreement will constitute an independent Event of
Default ("Event of Default") hereunder.

                                       19
<PAGE>

      5.2. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing:

            a. In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein
(including under Article 4) or otherwise available to Administrative Agent or
any Lender (including under the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law),
Administrative Agent may also exercise in respect of the Collateral all the
rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or
not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral). Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Administrative Agent will have the immediate right to enforce
and realize upon any and all collateral security granted under the Loan
Documents (including the Collateral hereunder) in any manner or order that
Administrative Agent deems expedient without regard to any equitable principles
of marshalling or otherwise. All rights and remedies available to Administrative
Agent or any Lender are to be considered cumulative in nature.

            b. Without notice except as expressly specified herein or required
by applicable law, Administrative Agent may also sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of
Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable. To the extent notice of sale is required by law, each
Grantor agrees that prior notice to a Grantor of at least ten (10) calendar days
indicating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. Administrative Agent may adjourn
any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale (without further notice) may be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned.

            c. Administrative Agent may require Grantors to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees (at its expense) that it will, forthwith assemble all or part of
the Collateral as directed by Administrative Agent and make it available to
Administrative Agent at a place designated by Administrative Agent that is
reasonably convenient to both Administrative Agent and Grantors.

            d. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents, each Grantor will
remit to Administrative Agent all cash proceeds received in respect of any sale
of, or collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral. All cash proceeds received by Administrative Agent from any Grantor
or otherwise in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral (in the discretion of Administrative
Agent) may be held by Administrative Agent as additional Collateral for the
Secured Obligations, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied in
whole or in part by Administrative Agent against all or any part of the Secured
Obligations in an order consistent with the designated application of payments
provided for in Section 1.5 of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or
cash proceeds held by Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full
of all the Secured Obligations will be paid over to a Grantor or to whomsoever
Administrative Agent reasonably believes may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus.

            e. To the extent any of the Collateral represents an interest in a
partnership, a limited liability company or other unincorporated enterprise, in
addition to any other rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent or
any Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable

                                       20
<PAGE>

law, Administrative Agent (at its option but with notice to the relevant
Grantor) may also exercise all rights and privileges of the holder of such
interest under the agreements governing such Collateral and the Organic
Documents for the related organization or may instruct such Grantor how to
exercise such rights and privileges (with which instructions each Grantor hereby
agrees to comply). Each Grantor, in addition, covenants and agrees (at
Administrative Agent's request) to amend (and to use its best efforts to cause
others to amend) any of the Organic Documents for such organization in order to
authorize Administrative Agent to so exercise any such rights and privileges
associated with such Collateral (including voting rights and the rights to
participate in management decisions). The rights of Administrative Agent under
this Subsection may be transferred to and exercised by any subsequent acquiror
or transferee of the Collateral pursuant to any sale of or foreclosure on such
Collateral. Each Grantor hereby agrees that the rights of Administrative Agent
and each Lender (or any subsequent acquiror or transferee of the Collateral)
under this Subsection may be enforced by specific performance or otherwise.

      5.3. Special Securities-Related Remedies.

            a. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that, in any
sale of any of the Pledged Equity Collateral, Administrative Agent is authorized
to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with the type of such
sale pursued as Administrative Agent may be advised by counsel is necessary or
reasonably desirable in order to avoid any violation of applicable law
(including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of
prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and
purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders
and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the
sale or of the purchaser by any Official Body. Each Grantor further agrees that
such compliance will not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor will Administrative
Agent or any Lender be liable or accountable to any Grantor for any discount
allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold at foreclosure or
otherwise in compliance with any such limitation or restriction or by reason of
the fact that such Pledge Equity Collateral may represent a minority interest in
any Grantor.

      5.4. Special IP-Related Remedies (License of Intellectual Property
Collateral). Each Grantor hereby grants Administrative Agent a royalty-free,
non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license (the "Remedies License") to make,
use and sell from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default that
is not waived by Administrative Agent and delivery of notice thereof by
Administrative Agent (unless such Event of Default is under Section 7.1.10 of
the Credit Agreement, in which case no such notification shall be required) all
present and future Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor (including
the right to sub-license such Intellectual Property Collateral) in connection
with the maintenance, preservation, preparation, sale, disposition, collection,
foreclosure, or other realization of, upon, or with respect to the Collateral or
payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. The
Remedies License shall remain in full force and effect until this Security
Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 1.3 (but any sub-license or
transfer of the Remedies License prior to the termination of the Remedies
License shall survive such termination of the Remedies Licenses unless otherwise
provided on such sub-license or transfer document). The rights of Administrative
Agent under the Remedies License are assignable by

                                       21
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent (without the consent of such Grantor) in connection with
(a) any sale or other disposition of Collateral in accordance with the Loan
Documents to the extent necessary or appropriate to permit the purchaser of such
Collateral to have continuing and royalty-free, worldwide rights with respect to
such Collateral or (b) any assignment or other transfer by Administrative Agent
of all or any part of its rights under and in accordance with the Loan
Documents. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default,
each Grantor will deliver to Administrative Agent (at Administrative Agent's
request but at such Grantor's expense) a copy of all such Intellectual Property
Collateral and all related other Collateral in a form requested by
Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent's rights as a licensee under this
Section constitute a separately enforceable contract from the balance of this
Security Agreement.

      5.5. Indemnity and Expenses.

            a. Each Grantor agrees (jointly and severally) to indemnify and hold
Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or in any manner resulting from
any or all of the following: (1) any Grantor's failure to perform or otherwise
observe any of its obligations hereunder, or (2) Administrative Agent's
enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or (3) any Grantor's gross
negligence, misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud.

            b. Upon demand, each Grantor (jointly and severally) will pay
Administrative Agent the amount of any and all costs and expenses that
Administrative Agent or any Lender may incur in connection with any of the
matters described under clause "a" of this Section. Without limitation, each
Grantor's obligation to reimburse Administrative Agent for such fees, costs and
expenses includes all reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative
Agent's or any Lender's counsel and any other experts and agents that
Administrative Agent or any Lender may retain in connection herewith (whether or
not litigation is commenced).

            c. If any Grantor fails or refuses to pay Administrative Agent any
amount due hereunder or to otherwise deliver to Administrative Agent any
property required to be delivered hereunder, then such amount (or, as
appropriate, the fair market value of such property) will accrue interest until
paid or delivered at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of: (i) two percent
(2%) per annum in excess of the highest rate then otherwise applicable to
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (not including the default rate) or (ii)
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

      5.6. Administrative Agent's Rights Upon Occurrence of Liquidation Events.

            a. Right to Certain Payments and Distributions. Upon the occurrence
of any Liquidation Event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character
(whether in cash, securities or other property) that but for this Security
Agreement would be payable or deliverable to a Grantor must instead be paid or
delivered directly to Administrative Agent for application on the Secured
Obligations, whether or not then due or mature.

            b. Non-Cash Payments and Distributions. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Clause "a" of this Section, if Administrative Agent receives
delivery of any such payment or distribution in connection with a Liquidation
Event in a form other than cash, then Administrative

                                       22
<PAGE>

Agent may hold such property as additional Collateral for the Secured
Obligations, and neither any Grantor nor any other Obligor of the Secured
Obligations will be entitled to a credit with respect to the Secured
Obligations, nor will the Secured Obligations otherwise be adjusted in any
respect, until such time as Administrative Agent (in its sole and absolute
discretion) has sold, discounted or otherwise liquidated such distribution (at a
price considered by Administrative Agent to be in its sole best interest) and
then (subject to the terms of Section 7.8), such credit or adjustment to the
Secured Obligations will be limited only to the net cash proceeds realized
therefrom after the payment of all costs and expenses associated with such sale
or liquidation.

            c. Collection of Payments and Distributions. In addition to any
rights otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents or applicable law, each
Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, upon
the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, to file and/or vote claims and take such
other proceedings, in each instance in Administrative Agent's own name or in the
name of a Grantor, or otherwise, all as Administrative Agent may deem reasonably
necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Security Agreement. Each
Grantor further agrees duly and promptly (i) to take such action as may be
requested by Administrative Agent to assist in the collection and/or compromise
of any amounts owed to any Grantor, and (ii) to file appropriate proofs of claim
in respect of such amounts, and (iii) to execute and deliver to Administrative
Agent on demand such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim
or other instruments as may be requested by Administrative Agent to enable
Administrative Agent to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect to such
amounts, and (iv) to collect, compromise and receive any and all payments or
distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with
respect to such amounts.

      5.7. Delivery of Payments and Distributions. If any Grantor receives any
payment, distribution or any other funds or property in contravention of the
provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, then such Grantor must immediately
forthwith deliver such payment, distribution or other funds or property (or
proceeds thereof) to Administrative Agent in precisely the form received (except
for the endorsement or assignment without recourse of such Grantor where
necessary) for application on the Secured Obligations (or, at Administrative
Agent's option, held as additional Collateral therefor), whether or not then due
or mature. Until such funds or property are delivered to Administrative Agent,
such Grantor must hold such payment, distribution or other funds or property (or
proceeds thereof) (a) in trust for the benefit of and as property of
Administrative Agent and (b) separate from (i.e., not commingled with) its other
assets. If a Grantor fails or refuses to make any such endorsement or
assignment, then Administrative Agent (or any of its officers or employees) are
hereby irrevocably authorized by such Grantor to make the endorsement and/or
assignment.

      5.8. Cooperation and Assistance. Each Grantor agrees (during the existence
of a Default) to take any actions that Administrative Agent may reasonably
request in order to enable Administrative Agent and each Lender to receive the
full rights and benefits granted to Administrative Agent and each Lender by the
Loan Documents. Each Grantor further agrees that, during the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default, each Grantor will assist and cooperate with
Administrative Agent (and will use its best efforts to cause others to assist
and cooperate with Administrative Agent) to ensure that each Grantor continues
(a) to operate in the normal course of business, and (b) to fulfill all of its
legal, regulatory and contractual obligations and (c) to otherwise

                                       23
<PAGE>

be properly and professionally managed. At Administrative Agent's request and
the expense of Grantors (jointly and severally), at any time during the
existence of an Event of Default, such assistance and cooperation may include
the employment of (and, to the maximum extent not prohibited by the rules,
regulations and orders of any Official Body with jurisdiction, the delegation of
appropriate management authority to) one or more qualified and independent
consultants and professional managers acceptable to Administrative Agent to
assist in the interim operations of Grantors; all of which each Grantor hereby
agrees not to challenge.

      5.9. Special Regulatory (FCC) Remedies.

            a. Each Grantor and Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge their
intent that, during the existence of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law and governmental policy (including the rules,
regulations and policies of the FCC and each State PUC), Administrative Agent
will have all rights necessary or desirable to obtain, use and/or sell the
assets and operations of each Grantor and the other Collateral, and to exercise
all remedies available to Administrative Agent and each Lender under the Loan
Documents, the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Each Grantor and
Administrative Agent agree that, if any applicable law or governmental policy
changes subsequent to the date hereof that affects in any manner Administrative
Agent's rights of access to, or use or sale of, any Grantor's assets or other
Collateral (including Authorizations) or the procedures necessary to enable
Administrative Agent to obtain such rights of access, use or sale during an
Event of Default, then Administrative Agent and each Grantor will amend the Loan
Documents (in such manner as Administrative Agent reasonably requests) in order
to provide Administrative Agent with all such rights to the greatest extent
possible consistent with then-applicable law and governmental policy.

            b. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, at the
cost and expense of Grantors (jointly and severally), each Grantor will use its
best efforts to assist and cooperate in obtaining all approvals (including all
FCC and State PUC approvals) which are then required by applicable law or
contract for or in connection with any action or transaction contemplated by the
Loan Documents or the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Grantor further agrees, upon
Administrative Agent's request and at the expense of Grantors (jointly and
severally), at any time during the existence of an Event of Default, to prepare,
sign, file and diligently prosecute (and to use its best efforts to cause the
preparation, execution, filing and diligent prosecution by others) with the FCC
the assignor's or transferor's portion of any applications for consent to the
assignment of Authorizations or transfer of control thereof necessary or
appropriate under the rules of each Official Body for approval of any sale or
transfer of any Collateral or any Authorization pursuant to the exercise of
Administrative Agent's and Lenders' remedies under the Loan Documents. Each
Grantor further consents to (and agrees that it will not challenge), at any time
during the existence of an Event of Default, the transfer of control or
assignment of Authorizations and other assets to a receiver, trustee,
transferee, or similar official or to any purchaser of the Collateral pursuant
to any public or private sale, judicial sale, foreclosure or exercise of other
remedies available to Administrative Agent or any Lender as permitted by
applicable law.

            c. In addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein
or otherwise available to Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may require each Grantor
to, and each Grantor (at its sole expense) hereby

                                       24
<PAGE>

agrees that it will take all actions necessary or reasonably advisable (1) to
cooperate with Administrative Agent in effecting the transfer of any or all of
its Licenses to a transferee acceptable to the FCC or (2) to sell any or all of
its Licenses at public or private sale for cash, on credit or for future
delivery. Each Grantor will also use its best efforts to sell its Licenses for
the best available price, and (in furtherance of such efforts) each Grantor (a)
will hire one or more brokers to solicit buyers, and (b) will cause such
information and materials regarding its Licenses and operations to be compiled
as is customarily prepared or as is needed under the circumstances, and (c) will
make available to prospective purchasers such information (including any
information compiled in accordance with Clause "(b)") as is customary or as is
needed under the circumstances.

            d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor any Grantor will take
any action pursuant to the Loan Documents that would constitute or result in any
assignment of an Authorization or any transfer of control of any Grantor if such
assignment of Authorization or transfer of control would require under then
existing law (including the written rules and regulations promulgated by the
FCC) the prior approval of the FCC or any State PUC, unless such approval has
been obtained (as applicable) from such State PUC (to the extent failure to
obtain such approval by Administrative Agent could reasonably be expected to
have or cause a Material Adverse Effect) or from the FCC. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and each Lender each
specifically agrees that (a) voting rights with respect to the pledged equity
interests of each Grantor will remain with the holders of such voting rights
during the existence of an Event of Default unless and until any required prior
approvals to the transfer of such voting rights have been obtained (as
applicable) from such State PUC (to the extent failure to obtain such approval
by Administrative Agent could reasonably be expected to have or cause a Material
Adverse Effect) or from the FCC, and (b) during the existence of any Event of
Default and foreclosure upon the Collateral by Administrative Agent, there will
be either a private or public sale of the Collateral, and (c) prior to the
exercise of voting rights by the purchaser at any such sale, any consent of any
State PUC or the FCC required pursuant to any State Communications Act (to the
extent failure to obtain such consent could reasonably be expected to have or
cause a Material Adverse Effect) or the Federal Communications Act
(respectively) will be obtained.

thereof.

      7.2. Amendments. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this
Security Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing
and signed by Administrative Agent. Any such waiver or consent will be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

      7.3. Addresses for Notices. Any notice, request, consent, waiver or other
communication required or permitted under or in connection with this Security
Agreement will be deemed satisfactorily given if it is in writing and is
delivered either personally to the addressee thereof, or by prepaid registered

commercial courier service with next-day delivery charges prepaid, or by
telegraph, or by facsimile (voice confirmed), or by any other reasonable means
of personal delivery to the party entitled thereto at its respective address set
forth below its signature to this Security Agreement (or, if blank, then to such
party at its address or facsimile number set forth in the Credit Agreement). For
any notice, request, consent, waiver, or other communication to be sent to any
of the Grantors, it will be deemed satisfactorily given if it is sent in care of
BiznessOnline.com, Inc. at the address set forth below its signature to this
Security Agreement (with a copy to Michael Sweeney; Duffy & Sweeney, Ltd.; 300
Turks Head Building; Providence, Rhode Island 02903; Facsimile: (401) 455-0701).
If any Grantor fails to insert an address below (and in the Credit Agreement),
then such failure shall constitute a designation of its last known address as
the address for all notices, including notices of default and sale. Any party to
this Security Agreement may change its address or facsimile number for notice
purposes by giving notice thereof to the other parties hereto in accordance with
this Section, provided that such change shall not be effective until 2 calendar

governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, except to the

                                       29
<PAGE>

extent that the validity or perfection of the security interest, collateral
assignment or pledge hereunder (or remedies hereunder) in respect of any
particular Collateral are required to be governed by the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the Commonwealth of Virginia. This Security Agreement and the other
loan documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements (written
or oral) with respect thereto.

      7.6. Reinstatement. To the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable
law, this Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated if
at any time any amount received by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect
of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or such Lender upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Grantor or upon the appointment of any receiver, intervenor, conservator,
trustee or similar official for any Grantor or any substantial part of any
Grantor's assets, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

      7.7. Conflict Provision. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict
between the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement and the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement shall govern.
