suretyship law or equity, would otherwise operate to impair or diminish the
liability of Guarantor for the Indebtedness. Without limiting the generality of
the

      Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time
      claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured Parties.

            (c) There is no financing statement (or similar statement or
      instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) now on file
      or registered in any public office covering any interest of any kind in
      the Collateral, or intended to cover any such interest, which has not been
      terminated or released by the secured party named therein and so long as
      the Guaranty remains outstanding or any of the Secured Obligations of the
      Debtor remain unpaid, the Debtor will not execute and there will not be on
      file in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or
      instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or
      statements relating to the Collateral, except (i) financing statements
      filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interest of
      the Secured Parties hereby granted and provided for and (ii) with respect

      page hereof, and the Debtor will not move its chief executive office and
      chief place of business except to such new location as the Debtor may
      establish in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 4(d). The
      originals of all Assigned Agreements and all documents (as well as all
      duplicates thereof) evidencing all Receivables and all other contract

      continue to be, kept at such chief executive office or at such new
      location as the Debtor may establish in accordance with the last sentence
      of this Section 4(d). The Debtor shall establish no such new location
      until (i) it shall have given to the Secured Parties not less than 30
      days' prior written notice of its intention to do so, clearly describing
      such new location and providing such other information in connection
      therewith as the Secured Parties may reasonably request, and (ii) with
      respect to such new location, it shall have taken such action,
      satisfactory to the Secured Parties

      Collateral fully insured at all times with financially sound and
      responsible insurance carriers against loss or damage by fire and other
      risks, casualties and contingencies and in such manner and to the same
      extent that like properties are customarily so insured by other entities
      engaged in the same or similar businesses similarly situated and keep
      adequate insurance at all times against liability on account of damage to
      persons and properties and under all applicable workers' compensation
      laws, by insurers and in reasonable amounts approved by the Secured

      option, and without affecting any of their other rights or remedies
      provided herein or as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code,

      are applied to restoration or replacement), including return of unearned
      premium, and shall cause any such insurance company to make payment
      directly to the Secured Parties for application to amounts outstanding
      under the Note in accordance with the terms of the Note and, to the extent
      not provided therein, in such order as the Secured Parties shall
      determine.

            (i) The Debtor will not use the Collateral in violation of any
      statute or ordinance or applicable insurance policy and will promptly pay

      the disposition of obsolete or worn-out Equipment in the ordinary course
      of business.

            (k) The Debtor will not assert against the Secured Parties any claim
      or defense which the Debtor may have against any seller of the Collateral

      Collateral or any part thereof.

            (l) The Debtor will indemnify and hold the Secured Parties harmless
      from and against any loss, liability, damage, costs and expenses
      whatsoever arising from the Debtor's use, operation, ownership or
      possession of the Collateral or any part thereof.

            (m) The Debtor will maintain the confidentiality of all customer
      lists and not sell or otherwise dispose of such lists except that the

      request, which may be made at any time and from time to time after an
      Event of Default.

            (n) The Debtor will not enter into any agreement that is
      inconsistent with the Debtor's obligations under this Agreement, without
      the prior written consent of the Secured Parties.

      Section 5. Special Provisions Concerning Assigned Agreements. The Debtor
represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

            (a) The Assigned Agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding
      obligations of the Debtor and, to the best of its knowledge, the other
      parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

            (b) The Debtor will faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each
      and every material obligation, covenant and agreement to be performed by
      the Debtor under the Assigned Agreements.

            (c) At the request of the Secured Parties, and at the sole cost and
      expense of the Debtor, the Debtor will enforce or secure the performance
      of each and every material obligation, covenant, condition and agreement
      contained in the Assigned Agreements to be performed by the other parties
      thereto.

            (d) The Debtor will not modify, amend or agree to vary any of the
      Assigned Agreements in any material respect other than in the ordinary
      course of business, or otherwise act or fail to act in a manner likely
      (directly or indirectly) to entitle any party thereto to claim that the
      Debtor is in default under the terms thereof.

            (e) The Debtor will not terminate or permit the termination of any
      Assigned Agreement, except in accordance with its terms, other than in the

      to be performed by it under such Assigned Agreement including, without
      limitation, the obligation to make all payments in the manner and at the
      time and places specified.

            (g) Subject to the rights of the holder of the Secured Indebtedness,
      if the Secured Parties so requests after the occurrence of an Event of
      Default and unless and until it is cured, the Debtor will hold any
      payments received by it which are assigned and set over to the Secured
      Parties by this Agreement for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and
      turn them promptly over to the Secured Parties forthwith in the same form
      in which they are received (together with any necessary endorsement) for
      application to amounts outstanding under the Note in accordance with the
      terms of the Note and, to the extent not provided therein, in such order
      as the Secured Parties shall determine.

            (h) The Debtor will appear in and defend every action or proceeding
      arising under, growing out of or in any manner connected with the Assigned

            (i) Should the Debtor fail to make any payment or to do any act as
      herein provided after 15 day's notice by the Secured Parties, the Secured
      Parties may (but without obligation on the Secured Parties' part to do so
      and without notice to or demand on the Debtor and without releasing the
      Debtor from any obligation hereunder) make or do the same in such manner
      and to such extent as the Secured Parties may deem reasonably necessary to
      protect the security interests provided hereby, including specifically,
      without limiting the general powers, the right to appear in and defend any
      action or proceeding purporting to affect the security interests provided

      discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of the Debtor
      contained in any Assigned Agreement and, in exercising any such powers,
      pay necessary costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay

            (a) As of the time when each Receivable arises, the Debtor shall be
      deemed to have warranted as to each such Receivable that such Receivable

      relating thereto:

                  (i) will be signed by the account debtor named therein (or
            such account debtor's duly authorized agent) or otherwise be binding
            on the account debtor;

                  (ii) will represent the genuine, legal, valid and binding

<PAGE>

                  (iv) will be in compliance and will conform with all
            applicable federal, state and local laws (including applicable usury
            laws) and applicable laws of any relevant foreign jurisdiction.

            (b) The Debtor will keep and maintain at the Debtor's own cost and
      expense satisfactory and complete records of the Receivables, including,
      but not limited to, records of all payments received, all credits granted
      thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith, and
      the Debtor will make the same available to the Secured Parties, at the
      Debtor's own cost and expense, at any and all reasonable times upon notice
      from the Secured Parties. The Debtor shall, at the Debtor's own cost and
      expense, deliver the Receivables (including, without limitation, all
      documents evidencing the Receivables) and such books and records to the
      Secured Parties or to its representatives upon its demand at any time
      after the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until it is cured
      and, if prior to the Maturity Date, Acceleration. If the Secured Parties
      shall so request, the Debtor shall legend, in form and manner satisfactory
      to the Secured Parties, the Receivables and other books, records and
      documents of the Debtor evidencing or pertaining to the Receivables with
      an appropriate reference to the fact that the Receivables have been
      assigned to the Secured Parties and that the Secured Parties have a
      security interest therein.

            (c) Except in the ordinary course of business prior to an Event of
      Default and, if prior to the Maturity Date, Acceleration, the Debtor will
      not rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Receivable or
      modify any material term thereof or make any adjustment with respect
      thereto, or extend or renew the same, or compromise or settle any dispute,
      claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or sell any Receivable
      or interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Secured
      Parties, except that the Debtor may grant discounts in connection with the
      prepayment of any Receivable in an amount which is customary in the line
      of business in which the Debtor is engaged and consistent with the
      Debtor's past practices.

            (d) The Debtor will duly fulfill all obligations on its part to be
      fulfilled under or in connection with the Receivables and will do nothing
      to impair the rights of the Secured Parties in the Receivables.

            (e) The Debtor shall endeavor to collect or cause to be collected
      from the account debtor named in each Receivable, as and when due
      (including, without limitation, Receivables which are delinquent, such
      Receivables to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful
      collection procedures) any and all amounts owing under or on account of
      such Receivable, and credit forthwith (on a daily basis) upon receipt
      thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of
      such Receivable. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's
      fees) of collection, whether incurred by the Debtor or the Secured
      Parties, shall be borne by the Debtor.

            (f) If any of the Receivables becomes evidenced by an Instrument
      (other than a check received in payment of a Receivable and deposited in
      the ordinary course of business), the Debtor will notify the Secured
      Parties thereof, and, upon request by the Secured Parties, promptly
      deliver such Instrument to the Secured Parties appropriately endorsed to
      the order of the Secured Parties as further security for the satisfaction
      in full of the Secured Obligations.

                                       9

<PAGE>

            (g) Upon request of the Secured Parties, at any time when an Event
      of Default and, if prior to the Maturity Date, Acceleration shall exist,
      the Debtor shall promptly notify (in manner, form and substance
      satisfactory to the Secured Parties) all Persons who are at any time
      obligated under any Receivable that the Secured Parties possesses a
      security interest in such Receivable and that all payments in respect
      thereof are to be made to such account as the Secured Parties directs.

      Section 7. Special Provisions Concerning Equipment. The Debtor will do
nothing to impair the rights of the Secured Parties in the Equipment. The Debtor
shall cause the Equipment to at all times constitute and remain personal
property. The Debtor will at all times keep all Equipment insured with
financially responsible insurance companies in favor of the Secured Parties, at
the expense of the Debtor, against such perils and in such amounts as are
customary for Persons in the same general line of business as the Debtor and
operating in similar geographic locations and markets. If the Debtor shall fail
to insure the Equipment to the Secured Parties's satisfaction, or if the Debtor
shall fail so to endorse and deposit all policies or certificates with respect
thereto, the Secured Parties shall have the right (but shall be under no
obligation) to procure such insurance and the Debtor agrees to reimburse the
Secured Parties for all costs and expenses of procuring such insurance, together
with interest at a rate per annum equal to 15%. The Secured Parties may apply
any proceeds of such insurance when received by it pursuant to the terms of this
Section 7 or Section 4(h) hereof toward the payment of any of the Secured
Obligations, whether or not the same shall then be due. The Debtor retains all
liability and responsibility in connection with the Equipment and the liability
of the Debtor to pay the Secured Obligations shall in no way be affected or
diminished by reason of the fact that such Equipment may be lost, destroyed,
stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Debtor.

            (a) The Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse,
      acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Secured Parties from time to time

      receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices,
      schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements,
      transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other
      assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the
      Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest
      hereby granted, which the Secured Parties deem appropriate or advisable to
      perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral. The
      Debtor hereby constitutes the Secured Parties its attornies-in-fact to
      execute and file in the name and on behalf of the Debtor such additional
      financing statements and other documents as the Secured Parties may
      request, such acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed;
      such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the
      Secured Obligations are paid in full. Further, to the extent permitted by
      applicable law, the Debtor authorizes the Secured Parties to file any such
      financing statements and other documents without the signature of the
      Debtor or to execute the same on behalf of the Debtor. The Debtor will pay
      all applicable filing fees and related expenses in connection with any
      such financing statements.

            (b) The Debtor agrees to procure, pay for, affix to any and all
      documents and cancel any documentary tax stamps required by and in
      accordance with, applicable law and the Debtor will indemnify and hold the

            Secured Parties at a place designated by the Secured Parties; and

                  (xi) without obligation to resort to other security, at any

      this Agreement or to a judgment, order or decree made in any judicial
      proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this

      remedies, any of the Secured Obligations shall remain unpaid, the Debtor
      shall remain liable for any deficiency. After the indefeasible payment in
      full of the Secured Obligations, any proceeds of the Collateral received
      or held by the Secured Parties shall be turned over to the Debtor and the
      Collateral shall be promptly reassigned to the Debtor by the Secured
      Parties without recourse to the Secured Parties and without any
      representations, warranties or agreements of any kind.

            (c) Upon any sale of any of the Collateral, whether made under the
      power of sale hereby given or under judgment, order or decree in any
      judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of
      this Agreement:

                  (i) the Secured Parties may, to the extent permitted by law,
            bid for and purchase the property being sold, and upon compliance
            with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of
            such property in its own absolute right without further
            accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor,
            deliver any Note or claims for interest thereon and any other
            instruments evidencing the Secured Obligations or agree to the
            satisfaction of all or a portion of the Secured Obligations in lieu
            of cash in payment of the amount which shall be payable thereon, and
            the Note and such instruments, in case the amounts so

                                       12

<PAGE>

            payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be
            returned to the Secured Parties after being appropriately stamped to
            show partial payment;

                  (ii) the Secured Parties may make and deliver to the purchaser
            or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, bill of sale and
            instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold;

                  (iii) the Secured Parties are hereby irrevocably appointed the
            true and lawful attornies-in-fact of the Debtor in its name and
            stead, to make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of
            assignment and transfer of the property thus sold and for such other
            purposes as are necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions
            (including, without limitation, this Section 9) of this Agreement,
            and for that purpose they may execute and deliver all necessary
            deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer, and
            may substitute one or more Persons with like power, the Debtor
            hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney, or such
            substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof; but
            if so requested by the Secured Parties or by any purchaser, the
            Debtor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by
            executing and delivering to the Secured Parties or to such purchaser
            all property, deeds, bills of sale, instruments or assignment and
            transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request;

                  (iv) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
            either at law or in equity or otherwise, of the Debtor of, in and to
            the property so sold shall be divested; such sale shall be a
            perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Debtor, its
            successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or
            who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from, through or
            under the Debtor, its successors or assigns;

                  (v) the receipt of the Secured Parties or of the officer
            thereof making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
            purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his or their purchase
            money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or
            personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase
            money and receiving such receipt of the Secured Parties or of such
            officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such
            purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss,
            misapplication or non-application thereof; and

                  (vi) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, and subject to
            any legal requirement that the Secured Parties act in a commercially
            reasonable manner, the Debtor agrees that it will not at any time
            insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
            benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay,
            extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it to direct the
            order in which the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sold, now
            or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or
            otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Agreement,
            the Note or any other agreement executed in connection with the Note
            whereby the Debtor has granted any Lien to the Secured Parties, and
            the Debtor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
            such laws and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
            execution of any power granted or delegated to the Secured Parties
            in this Agreement, but will suffer and permit the execution of every
            such power as though no such laws were in force. In the event of any
            sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section, the

                                       13

<PAGE>

            Secured Parties shall, at least 10 days before such sale, give the
            Debtor written, telecopied or telex notice of its intention to sell.

      Section 10. Application of Moneys.

            (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Note or Guaranty,
      all moneys which the Secured Parties shall receive, in accordance with the
      provisions hereof, shall be applied (to the extent thereof) in the
      following manner: First, to the payment of all costs and expenses
      reasonably incurred in connection with the administration and enforcement
      of, or the preservation of any rights under, this Agreement or any of the
      reasonable expenses and disbursements of the Secured Parties (including,
      without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel
      and agents); Second, to the payment of all Secured Obligations arising out
      of the Note in accordance with the terms of the Note and, if not therein
      provided, in such order as the Secured Parties may determine; and Third,
      to the payment of all other Secured Obligations in such order as the
      Secured Parties may determine.

            (b) If after applying any amounts which the Secured Parties have
      received in respect of the Collateral any of the Secured Obligations
      remain unpaid, the Debtor shall continue to be liable for any deficiency,
      together with interest.

      Section 11. Fees and Expenses, etc. Any and all fees, costs and expenses
of whatever kind or nature, including but not limited to the reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection
with this Agreement, the filing or recording of any documents (including all
taxes in connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of
any taxes, counsel fees, maintenance fees, fees and other costs relating to the
encumbrances or otherwise protecting, maintaining, preserving the Collateral, or
in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or related
to the Collateral, shall be borne and paid by the Debtor on written demand by
the Secured Parties setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such
expenses and until so paid shall be added to the principal amount of the Secured
Obligations and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 15%. In
addition, the Debtor will pay, and indemnify and hold the Secured Parties
harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral, including (without
limitation) claims of patent or trademark infringement and any claim of unfair
competition or anti-trust violation.

      delivered or delivered by Federal Express or other reputable overnight
      courier service, if to the Debtor addressed to it at its address set forth
      opposite its signature below, if to the Secured Parties, addressed to it
      at its address set forth opposite its signature below, or as to either
      party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
      written notice to such other party complying as to delivery with the terms
      of this Section. All such notices and other communications shall be
      effective (i) if telecopied, upon receipt by the addressee, (ii) if

            (b) No delay on the part of the Secured Parties in exercising any of
      their rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder or partial or
      single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. None of the
      terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or
      varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by the
      Debtor and the Secured Parties. No notice to or demand on the Debtor in
      any case shall entitle the Debtor to any other or further notice or demand
      in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the
      rights of the Secured Parties to any other or further action in any
      circumstances without notice or demand.

            (c) The obligations of the Debtor hereunder shall remain in full
      force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (i) any
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment,
      composition, liquidation or the like of the Debtor; (ii) any exercise or
      non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege
      under or in respect of the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement
      executed in connection with the Note whereby the Debtor has granted any
      Lien to the Secured Parties or any other agreement executed in connection
      with any of the foregoing, the Secured Obligations or any security for any
      of the Secured Obligations; or (iii) any amendment to or modification of
      any of the foregoing; whether or not the Debtor shall have notice or
      knowledge of any of the foregoing. The rights and remedies of the Secured
      Parties herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
      remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have.

            (d) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Debtor and its
      successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured
      Parties and their successors and assigns, except that the Debtor may not
      transfer or assign any of its obligations, rights or interest hereunder
      without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties and any such
      purported assignment by the Debtor shall be void. All agreements,
      representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and
      delivery of this Agreement.

            (e) If Debtor has, forms or acquires any subsidiary, such subsidiary
      shall thereupon guaranty the Secured Obligations and enter into a security
      agreement with the Secured Parties substantially identical to this
      Agreement, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Parties.

            (f) The descriptive headings of the several sections of this
      Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way
      affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

            (g) 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.

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

      laws of the State of New York except to the extent that matters of title,
      or creation, perfection and priority of the security interests created
      hereby, or procedural issues of foreclosure are required to be governed by
      the laws of the state in which the Collateral, or part thereof, is
      located. EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES
      ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,

      contrary notwithstanding, that the Debtor shall remain liable to perform
      all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the
      Collateral and the Secured Parties shall not have any obligations or
      liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of
      this Agreement, nor shall the Secured Parties be required or obligated in
      any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Debtor
      under or pursuant to any or in respect of any Collateral.

            (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
      by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
      when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
      counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
      instrument.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
