                               SECURITY INTERESTS

          1.1. Grant of Security Interests. (a) As security for the prompt and
               ---------------------------
complete payment and performance when due of all of its Obligations, each

hereby pledge and grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured

registrations and right to all renewals thereof, and the goodwill of the
business of such Assignor symbolized by the Marks, (vi) all Patents and

and all monies, securities, instruments and other investments deposited or
required to be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account, (x) all other bank,
demand, time savings, cash management, passbook, certificates of deposit and
similar accounts maintained by such Assignor and all monies, securities,
instruments and other investments deposited or required to be deposited in any
of the foregoing accounts, and (xi) all Proceeds and products of any and all of
the foregoing (all of the above, collectively, the " Collateral"); provided
                                                                   --------
however, that (x) in the case of any Instruments, Contracts, Chattel Paper or
-------
General Intangibles that would otherwise be included in the Collateral, no
security interest in the right, title and interest of any Assignor thereunder or
therein will be granted pursuant to this Section 1.1 (and such Instruments,
Contracts, Chattel Paper or General Intangibles shall not be deemed to
constitute a part of the Collateral) for so long as, and to the extent that, the
granting of a security interest in the right, title and interest of such
Assignor thereunder or therein pursuant to the terms hereof would result in a
breach, default or termination of such Instruments, Contracts, Chattel Paper or
General Intangibles, although the provisions of this clause (x) shall not apply
to (and the security interests created hereunder shall extend to) (i) the right
to receive monies due or to become due pursuant to such Instruments, Contracts,
Chattel Paper or General Intangibles, (ii) any equity interests owned by any
Assignor in any Subsidiary of such Assignor, (iii) any such items of Collateral

a security interest therein under this Agreement (and such Equipment shall not
be deemed to constitute a part of the Collateral) if such Equipment is subject
to a Lien permitted by Section 9.01(vii) of the Credit Agreement and the holder
of such Lien has not consented to the Collateral Agent having a junior Lien on
such Equipment.

          (b) The security interest of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement
extends to all Collateral of the kind which is the subject of this Agreement
which any Assignor may acquire at any time during the term of this Agreement.

or to become due to such Assignor under or arising out of the Collateral, to
endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the
Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests
of the Secured Creditors, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an
interest.

                                  ARTICLE III

                   SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING RECEIVABLES;
                  CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER

          3.1. Additional Representations and Warranties. As of the time when
               -----------------------------------------
each of its Receivables arises, each Assignor shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that such Receivable, and all records, papers and
documents relating thereto (if any) are what they purport to be, and such
Receivable will evidence true and valid obligations of the account debtor named
therein.

          3.2. Maintenance of Records. Each Assignor will keep and maintain at
               ----------------------
its own cost and expense accurate records of its Receivables and Contracts,
including, but not limited to, originals of all documentation (including each
Contract) with respect thereto, records of all payments received, all credits
granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith, and
such Assignor will make the same available on such Assignor's premises to the
Collateral Agent for inspection, at such Assignor's own cost and expense, at any
and all reasonable times upon prior notice to such Assignor. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the request of the
Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver all
tangible evidence of its Receivables and Contract Rights (including, without
limitation, all documents evidencing the Receivables and all Contracts) and such
books and records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of
which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Assignor). Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if the
Collateral Agent so reasonably directs, such Assignor shall legend, in form and
manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Receivables and the Contracts,
as well as books, records and documents (if any) of such Assignor evidencing or
pertaining to such Receivables and Contracts with an appropriate reference to
the fact that such Receivables and Contracts have been assigned to the
Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

          3.3. Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties: etc. Upon the
               -------------------------------------------------------
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and if the
Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all
payments on account of the Receivables and Contracts to be made directly to the
Cash Collateral Account, (y) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option,
directly notify the obligors with respect to any Receivables and/or under any
Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding
clause (x), and (z)
<PAGE>

that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Receivables and
Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in
the same manner and to the same extent as such Assignor. Without notice to or
assent by any Assignor, the Collateral Agent may apply any or all amounts then
in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral Account which application
shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 7.4 of this Agreement. The
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs and disbursements) of collection, whether incurred by an Assignor
or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor. The
Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the
preceding clause (y) to the relevant Assignor, provided that the failure
                                               --------
by the Collateral Agent to so notify such Assignor shall not affect the
effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created
by this Section 3.3.

          3.4. Modification of Terms; etc. Except in accordance with such
               --------------------------
Assignor's ordinary course of business and consistent with reasonable business
judgment, no Assignor shall rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any
Receivable or under any Contract, or modify any term thereof or make any
adjustment with respect thereto, or extend or renew the same, or compromise or
settle any material dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto,
or sell any Receivable or Contract, or interest therein, without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Agent. Each Assignor will duly fulfill all
obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the
Receivables and Contracts and will do nothing to impair the rights of the
Collateral Agent in the Receivables or Contracts.

          3.5  Collection. Each Assignor shall endeavor in accordance with
               ----------
reasonable business practices to cause to be collected from the account debtor
named in each of its Receivables or obligor under any Contract, as and when due
(including, without limitation, amounts which are delinquent, such amounts to be
collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful collection procedures)
any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Receivable or Contract,
and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to
the outstanding balance of such Receivable or under such Contract except that,
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Assignor may make
adjustments to its Receivables and Contracts in accordance with reasonable
business practices. The reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of collection, whether incurred by an
Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor.

          3.6. Instruments. If any Assignor owns or acquires any Instrument
               -----------
(other than a check) constituting Collateral, such Assignor will within 10
Business Days notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and upon request by the
Collateral Agent will promptly deliver such Instrument to the Collateral Agent
appropriately endorsed to the order of the Collateral Agent as further security
hereunder.

          3.7. Assignors Remain Liable Under Receivables. Anything herein to the
               -----------------------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the
Receivables to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any
agreement giving rise to such Receivables. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any
other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of
this Agreement or
<PAGE>

the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment
relating to such Receivable pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the
obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any
agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to
the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Receivable (or any
agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action
to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may
have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or
times.

          3.8. Assignors Remain Liable Under Contracts. Anything herein to the
               ---------------------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the
Contracts to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by them thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant
to the terms and provisions of each Contract. Neither the Collateral Agent nor
any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any
Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such
contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any
Assignor under or pursuant to any Contract, to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party
under any Contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce
any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

registered Marks listed in Annex D hereto for such Assignor and that Marks
listed in Annex D include all United States registrations and applications in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office that such Assignor owns or uses in
connection with its business as of the date hereof. Each Assignor represents and
warrants that it owns, is licensed to use or otherwise has the right to use, all
material Marks that it uses. Each Assignor further warrants that it has no
knowledge of any pending or threatened third party claim that any aspect of such
Assignor's present or contemplated business operations infringes any trademark,
service mark or trade name. Each Assignor represents and warrants that all U.S.
trademark registrations and applications listed in Annex D hereto are valid,
subsisting, have not been cancelled and that such Assignor is not aware of any
pending or threatened third-party claim that any of said registrations is
invalid or unenforceable, or is not aware that there is any reason that any of
said registrations is invalid or unenforceable. Each Assignor hereby grants to
the Collateral Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any document which may be
required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to effect an
absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each Mark, and record
the same.

Mark in accordance with reasonable business practices to the extent in its
reasonable judgment, it is appropriate to do so.

               ---------------------------
expense, diligently process all documents required to maintain trademark

for renewals of registration in the United States Patent and Trademark Office
for all of its material Marks registered therein, and shall pay all fees and
disbursements in connection therewith and shall not abandon any such filing of
affidavit of use or any such application of renewal prior to the exhaustion of
all administrative and judicial remedies without prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

          4.6. Future Registered Marks. If any Mark registration is issued
               -----------------------

               ----------
the Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Assignor, take any
or all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title and
interest of such Assignor in and to each of the Marks, together with all
trademark rights and rights of protection to the same, vested in the Collateral

pending trademark application in the United States Patent and Trademark Office
to the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that, with respect to any
                         --------  -------
trademark application filed pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(b) for which a
verified Statement of Use has not yet been filed pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section
1051(d), the parties hereto agree to take only those actions necessary to
fulfill the foregoing obligations that do not threaten the validity of such
trademark applications under 15 U.S.C. Section 1060.

continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the
United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to effect an absolute
assignment of all right, title and interest in each Patent, and to record the
same.

          5.2. Divestures. Except to the extent not prohibited by the Secured
               ----------
Debt Agreements, each Assignor hereby agrees not to divest itself of any right
under any Patent or Copyright acquired after the date hereof absent prior

               -------------
thereof, to furnish the Collateral Agent with all pertinent information
available to such Assignor with respect to any infringement, contributing

Copyright violates any property right of a third party, or with respect to any
misappropriation of any Trade Secret Right or any claim that practice of any
Trade Secret Right violates any property right of a third party, in any respect,

Assignor further agrees, unless otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent to
prosecute any Person infringing any Patent or Copyright or any Person
misappropriating any Trade Secret Right in accordance
<PAGE>

with reasonable business practices to the extent in its reasonable judgment it
is appropriate to do so.

          5.4. Maintenance of Patents or Copyright. At its own expense, each
               -----------------------------------
Assignor shall make timely payment of all post-issuance fees required pursuant

          5.5. Prosecution of Patent Applications. At its own expense, each
               ----------------------------------

States Patents listed in Annex E hereto and (ii) material Copyrights listed on
Annex F hereto, and shall not abandon any such application prior to exhaustion
of all administrative and judicial remedies, absent written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

          5.6. Other Patents and Copyrights. Within 30 days after the last day
               ----------------------------
of the fiscal quarter in which the acquisition or issuance of a United States

or of filing of an application for a United States Patent or Copyright occurs,
the relevant Assignor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of said
Copyright or certificate or registration of, or application therefor, said
Patents, as the case may be, with an assignment for security as to such Patent
or Copyright, as the case may be, to the Collateral Agent and at the expense of

such other form as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

          5.7. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
               --------
the Collateral Agent may by written notice to the relevant Assignor, take any or
all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title, and interest
of such Assignor in each of the Patents and Copyrights vested in the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in which event such right,
title, and interest shall immediately vest in the Collateral Agent for the

execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute
assignment with the applicable agency; (ii) take and practice or sell the
Patents and Copyrights; and (iii) direct such Assignor to refrain, in which

and to transfer ownership of the Patents and Copyrights to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Creditors.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                      PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL

          6.1. Protection of Collateral Agent's Security. Each Assignor will do
               -----------------------------------------
nothing to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. Each
Assignor will at all times keep its Inventory and Equipment insured in favor of
the Collateral Agent, at such Assignor's own expense to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Except to the extent otherwise
<PAGE>

permitted to be retained by such Assignor or applied by such Assignor pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the time an
proceeds of such insurance are distributed to the Secured Creditors, apply such
proceeds in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof. Each Assignor assumes all
liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it
and the liability of such Assignor to pay the Obligations shall in no way be
affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost,
destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such
Assignor.

          6.2. Warehouse Receipts Non-negotiable. Each Assignor agrees that if
               ---------------------------------
any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued
with respect to any of its Inventory, such Assignor shall request that such
warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be "negotiable" (as
such term is used in Section 7-104 of the UCC as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction or under other relevant law).

          6.3. Further Actions. Each Assignor will, at its own expense and
               ---------------
upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, make, execute, endorse,
acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such
lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral, warehouse receipts,
receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of
title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances,
financing statements, transfer endorsements, 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 Collateral Agent deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect,
preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral.

          6.4. Financing Statements. Each Assignor agrees to execute and deliver
               --------------------
to the Collateral Agent such financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable
to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time
reasonably request or as are necessary or desirable in the reasonable opinion of
the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, first
priority (subject to Permitted Liens) perfected security interest in the
Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated
hereby all in accordance with the UCC as enacted in any and all relevant
jurisdictions or any other relevant law. Each Assignor will pay any applicable
filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral.
Each Assignor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing
statements without the signature of such Assignor where permitted by law.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                  REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT

          7. 1. Remedies: Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. Each Assignor
                -----------------------------------------------
agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
and in every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or
hereafter existing under applicable law, shall have all rights as a secured
creditor under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which a
secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect, in all relevant
jurisdictions and may:
<PAGE>

          (i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Assignor or any other Person
who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of
law, and for that purpose may enter upon such Assignor's premises where any of
the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such
removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such
Assignor;

         (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or
other obligation (including, without limitation, the Receivables and the
Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms
of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral
Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Assignor in respect of such
Collateral;

        (iii) withdraw all monies, securities and instruments in the Cash
Collateral Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section
7.4 hereof;

         (iv) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral
or any part thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, or direct the
relevant Assignor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the
proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;

         (v)  take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by
directing the relevant Assignor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral
Agent at any place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event
such Assignor shall at its own expense:

               (x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places
         so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the
         Collateral Agent;

               (y) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral
         Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral
         Agent as provided in Section 7.2 hereof; and

               (z) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide
         such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect
         the same and to preserve and maintain the same in good condition; and

         (vi) license or sublicense, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive
basis, any Marks, Patents or Copyrights included in the Collateral for such term
and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its
sole judgment determine;

it being understood that each Assignor's obligation so to deliver the Collateral
is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a
court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a
decree requiring specific performance by such Assignor of said obligation. By
accepting the benefits of this Agreement, the Secured Creditors agree that this
Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon
the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors and that no other Secured
Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce this Agreement or
to realize upon the security to be granted
<PAGE>

hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon
the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.

          7.2. Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Event of Default
               ---------------------------------------
shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the
Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and any other
Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold,
assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an
entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the
property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at
such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in
compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be
commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise
disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the
Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant
Assignor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private
proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10
days' prior written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time at which
such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other
consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving
of such notice, to the right of the relevant Assignor or any nominee of such
Assignor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other
consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration
so specified.  Any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by
such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days' prior written notice
to the relevant Assignor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the
absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which
may, at the Collateral Agent's option, be subject to reserve), after publication
of notice of such auction (where required by applicable law) not less than 10
days prior thereto. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale
may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. To the
extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid
for and become the purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for
sale in accordance with this Section 7.2 without accountability to the relevant
Assignor. If, under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Collateral
Agent shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of
time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Assignor as
hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Assignor only such
notice of disposition as shall be reasonably practicable in view of such
mandatory requirements of applicable law. Each Assignor agrees to do or cause to
be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make
such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and
in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs,
injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or
governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over
any such sale or sales, all at such Assignor's expense.

          7.3.  Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this
                ----------------
Agreement, EACH ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S
TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF
<PAGE>

ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE
AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Assignor hereby
further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

          (i)    all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any
damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent's gross negligence
or willful misconduct;

          (ii)   all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale
or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent's
rights hereunder; and

          (iii)  all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in
order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale
of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Assignor, for itself and all
who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may,
hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon,
any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title and interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Assignor therein, and shall
be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Assignor and against
any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold,
optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such
Assignor.

          7.4. Application of Proceeds. (a) All moneys collected by the
               -----------------------
Collateral Agent (or, to the extent the Pledge Agreement or any Additional
Security Document requires proceeds of collateral under such Security Document
to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent under such other Security Document) upon any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the
Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be applied as follows.

          (i)    first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Collateral Agent
of the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of
"Obligations";

          (ii)   second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary
Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 7.4(e)
hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to such outstanding
Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such
Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be
distributed;

          (iii)  third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the
outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as
provided in Section 7.4(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an
amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are
insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share
of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

          (iv)   fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following
the termination of this Agreement
<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 10.8(a) hereof, to the relevant Assignor or to whomever may
be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

          (b)  For purposes of this Agreement (x) "Pro Rata Share" shall mean,
when calculating a Secured Creditor's portion of any distribution or amount,
that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of
which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor's Primary Obligations
or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is
the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations,
as the case may be, (y) "Primary Obligations" shall mean (i) in the case of the
Credit Document Obligations, all principal of, and interest on, all Loans, all
Unpaid Drawings and all Fees and (ii) in the case of the Other Obligations, all
amounts due under such Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging
Agreements (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees) and similar obligations and liabilities) and (z) "Secondary
Obligations" shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations.

          (c)  When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their
respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors
hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this
Section 7.4 only) (i) first, to their Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to
their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro
Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured
Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the
unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the
other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or
Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive
an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case
may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid
Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured
Creditors entitled to such distribution.

          (d)  Each of the Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the
benefits hereof, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors are to
receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of
Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all
outstanding Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to such Letters of Credit
have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent
under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of
the Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to
the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all
outstanding Letters of Credit, and after the application of all such cash
security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors after
giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains
any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent
to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 7.4(a)
hereof.

          (e)  All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if
to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement
for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to
the trustee, paying agent or other similar
<PAGE>

representative (each a "Representative") for the Other Creditors or, in the
absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.

          (f)  For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with
this Section 7.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Representative for
the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other
Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent and each
Representative for any Other Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon
request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary Obligations and
Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as
the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written
notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant
to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall
be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it
has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor)
to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to
assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements
are in existence.

          (g)  It is understood that the Assignors shall remain jointly and
severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the
proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.

          7.5. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy
               -------------------
hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement, the other
Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein
given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously
and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral
Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise
or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the
right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral
Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or
extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy
or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on any Assignor in any case shall
entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral
Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce
any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit
the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

          7.6. Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case the Collateral Agent
               -----------------------------
shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under
this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the
relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the
<PAGE>

Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder
with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under
this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent
shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

               ---------
indemnify, reimburse and hold the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Creditor

affiliates and servants (hereinafter in this Section 8.1 referred to
individually as "Indemnitee," and collectively as "Indemnitees") harmless from
any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims,
demands, actions, suits, judgments and any and all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) (for the purposes of this Section 8.1 the foregoing are collectively
called "expenses") of whatsoever kind and nature imposed on, asserted against or
incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or any other document executed in
connection herewith or therewith or in any other way connected with the
administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
enforcement of any of the terms of, or the preservation of any rights under any
thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of (a) the manufacture,
ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing,
possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of
the Collateral (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether
or not discoverable), (b) the violation of the laws of any country, state or
other governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims
arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account
of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or property
damage, in any case described in (b) above, to the extent the same relates to
the Collateral or the Lien created hereby), or (c) contract claim; provided that
                                                                   --------
no Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8. 1 (a) for losses,
damages or liabilities to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction). Each Assignor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee
of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty,
claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, the relevant Assignor shall assume full
responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to promptly
notify the relevant Assignor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has
knowledge.

          (b)  Without limiting the application of Section 8.1(a) hereof, each
Assignor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay, or reimburse the Collateral
Agent for any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or
nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or protection of
the Collateral Agent's Liens on, and security interest in, the Collateral,
including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the
recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or
discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums
for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other reasonable out-of-
pocket fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or
preserving the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's interest therein, whether
<PAGE>

through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any
actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.

          (c)  If and to the extent that the Obligations of any Assignor under
this Section 8.1 are unenforceable for any reason, such Assignor hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such
Obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

          8.2. Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival. Any
               -----------------------------------------------------
amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to
reimbursement shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. The

other Obligations and notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued
under the Credit Agreement, the termination of all Interest Rate Protection
Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and all Letters of Credit and the

liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required or obligated in any manner

Agent, at the request and expense of the relevant Assignor, will duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has
been) so sold or released and as may be in the possession of the Collateral
Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

          (c)  At any time that an Assignor desires that the Collateral Agent
take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral
pursuant to the foregoing Section 10.8(a) or (b), such Assignor shall deliver to
the Collateral Agent a certificate signed on behalf of such Assignor by a
principal executive officer of such Assignor stating that the release of the
respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 10.8(a) or (b), as the
case may be.

executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with each Assignor and the
Collateral Agent.

                 ------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     5.3  Rent During Extension Period.
          ----------------------------

          5.3.1  On the first day of the Extension Period ("Extension

                                      -5-

willing subtenant would pay and a willing sublandlord would accept, at arms

comparable space in the Building and in other buildings in the vicinity of the
Premises on a nonrenewal, nonexpansion, but sublease basis, for delivery on or

the FMRR for the Extension Period no later than fifteen (15) days after
Sublessee's delivery of the Notice of Intent under Section 4.2.3.  If within
such 15-day period the parties have been unable to agree upon the FMRR, then the
FMRR shall be determined in the following manner.  Within 10 days after
expiration of the 15-day period, each party shall select one broker, which two
brokers shall together promptly select a third broker within ten (10) days.  The
three brokers so selected shall, within 20 days after the selection of the last
broker, render their determination of the FMRR of the Premises for the Extension
Period based upon the criteria set forth in Section 5.3.2 above and deliver
written notice of such determination to both Sublessor and Sublessee.  Each
party shall pay the fees of the broker selected by it and one-half of the fees
of the third broker.  The FMRR shall be the middle determination if the high and
low determination are equidistant from such middle determination or shall
otherwise be the average of the amounts determined by those two brokers whose
determinations are closest in value.

          5.3.4  Any broker selected pursuant to this paragraph 4.2, shall be
California licensed real estate agent, and shall have at least five years
experience in leasing commercial office space in the South Coast Metro market
area.  If either Sublessor or Sublessee fails to appoint a broker within the
time required above, then the qualified broker selected by the other party shall
determine the FMRR for the applicable Extension Period and the determination of
that one broker shall be binding on both parties.

     5.4  Rent Defined.  All monetary obligations of Sublessee to Sublessor
          ------------
under the terms of this Sublease, except for the Security Deposit, parking, and
telephone usage payments, but including Base Rent and Additional Rent are deemed

ARTICLE 6.  USE OF PREMISES.
            ---------------

     6.1  Use.  The Premises shall be used and occupied for general business
          ---
office purposes only and otherwise to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms

          ----------

building codes, regulations and ordinances ("Applicable Requirements") in effect

Sublessee will put the Premises or to any alterations or utility installments
made or to be made by Sublessee.  NOTE.  Sublessee is responsible for
determining whether or not the zoning is appropriate for its intended use, and
acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be allowed.  If the
Premises do not comply with said warranty, or in the event that the Applicable
Requirements are hereafter changes, the rights and obligations of Sublessor and
Sublessee shall be as provided in the Master Lease.

          (c) neither Sublessor nor Sublessee's agent, nor any Broker has made
any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters
other than as set forth in this Sublease.

ARTICLE 7.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
            -------------------------

     7.1  Consent Required.  In addition to satisfying the requirements of the

controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with  Sublessee
("Sublessee's Affiliate"),  or which is a successor by merger, consolidation,
corporate reorganization or acquisition of all or substantially all of the
assets of, or equity ownership interest in Sublessee or Sublessee's Affiliate,
including without limitation, pursuant to an initial public offering, provided

merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition, sale, issue or transfer
equal to or greater than the lesser of (A) the net worth of Sublessee
immediately proceeding such assignment or sublease, or (B) the net worth of
Sublessee as of the Commencement Date, and Landlord and Sublessor receive prior
notice of such assignment or sublease.

ARTICLE 8.  APPLICATION OF OTHER PROVISIONS OF MASTER LEASE.
            -----------------------------------------------

     8.1  Incorporation of Master Lease Provisions.  All applicable terms and
          ----------------------------------------
conditions of the Master Lease are incorporated into and made a part of this
Sublease as if Sublessor were the "Landlord" thereunder (except that for
purposes of the insurance to be provided and indemnities given by Sublessee,
both Landlord and Sublessor shall be included); Sublessee, the "Tenant"
thereunder; the Premises, the "Premises" thereunder; and this Sublease, the
"Lease" thereunder, except for those Excluded Provisions as described in
attached Exhibit B.
         ---------

     8.2  Sublessor's Efforts.  In connection with the incorporation of the
          -------------------
Master Lease, the term "Landlord" shall be deemed, for the purposes of this
Sublease, to mean "Sublessor shall use its best efforts, without, however,
incurring any liabilities or expenses not otherwise provided for in the Master
Lease or this Sublease, to ensure that Landlord" whenever such a modification is
required so that an incorporated provision reflects the agreement of the parties
hereto as expressed in this Article 8.  Sublessor covenants not to allow or
permit the early termination of the Master Lease without Sublessee's prior
written consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion.

     8.3  Sublessor's Obligations to Tenants.  Sublessee assumes and agrees to
          ----------------------------------
perform the Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease to the extent
incorporated herein during the Term and to the extent such obligations are
applicable to the Premises, except that the obligation to pay rent to Landlord
under the Master Lease shall be considered
<PAGE>

performed by Sublessee to the extent and in the amount rent is paid to Sublessor
in accordance with Article 5 of this Sublease. Sublessee shall not commit or
suffer any act or omission that will violate any of the provisions of the Master
Lease. Sublessor shall exercise due diligence in attempting to cause Landlord to
perform its obligations under the Master Lease for the benefit of Sublessee.
Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein, if the Master Lease
terminates, this Sublease shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of
any further liability or obligation under this Sublease, provided, however, that
if the Master Lease terminates as a result of a default or breach by Sublessor
or Sublessee under this Sublease and/or the Master Lease, then the defaulting
party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for the damage suffered as a
result of such termination, except that Sublessor shall be permitted to agree
with Landlord to terminate the Master Lease without liability to Sublessee
provided Landlord is prepared to enter into a direct lease with Sublessee on the
same economic terms as contained in this Sublease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Master Lease gives Sublessor any right to terminate the Master
Lease in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation
of the Premises or the Building or project of which the Premises are a part or
otherwise, Sublessor shall exercise such right only after first obtaining
written approval from, and consulting with, Sublessee.

     8.4  Landlord's Default.  If Landlord shall default in any of its
          ------------------
obligations to Sublessor with respect to the Premises, Sublessee shall be
entitled to participate with Sublessor in the enforcement of Sublessor's rights
against Landlord, but Sublessor shall have no obligation to bring any action or
proceeding or to take any steps to enforce Sublessor's rights against Landlord.
If, after written request from Sublessee, Sublessor shall fail or refuse to take
appropriate action for the enforcement of Sublessor's rights against Landlord
with respect to the Premises within a reasonable period of time considering the
nature of Landlord's default, Sublessee shall have the right to take such action
in its own name, and for that purpose and only to such extent, all of the rights
of Sublessor under the Master Lease hereby are conferred upon and assigned to
Sublessee and Sublessee hereby is subrogated to such rights to the extent that
the same shall apply to the Premises.  If any such action against Landlord in
Sublessee's name shall be barred by reason of lack of privity, non-assignability
or otherwise, Sublessee may take such action in Sublessor's name and provided
Sublessee has obtained the prior written consent of Sublessor which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The failure of
Landlord to make such repairs, comply with such obligations or provide any such
services and/or utilities shall not result in any claim or right of action of
Sublessee against Sublessor or entitle Sublessee to withhold or otherwise reduce
any rent or other payments to be made to Sublessor pursuant to the terms of this

     8.5  Conflict.  If there is any conflict between the terms and provisions
          --------
of this Sublease and the terms and provisions of the Master Lease, the terms and
provisions of this Sublease shall control if the terms and provisions of this
Sublease are more restrictive than the terms and provisions of the Master Lease
and such interpretation does not cause a default under the Master Lease,
otherwise the terms and provisions of the Master Lease shall control.

ARTICLE 9.  BROKER.
            ------

     9.1   Sublessor is obligated to pay a brokerage fee pursuant to separate
agreement to CB Richard Ellis and the Gibson Company (each a "Broker"). Except
as provided by the foregoing, each party warrants and represents to the other
that such party dealt with no other broker in connection with this sublease
transaction and, to that party's knowledge, no other broker is entitled to a
commission in connection herewith.  Each party agrees to indemnify and save
harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, cost and expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising as a result of such party's representation
set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.1 being inaccurate.

ARTICLE 10.  ATTORNEYS' FEES.
             ---------------

under the Sublease shall be sent by a recognized commercial carrier, addressed
to the intended party at the address set forth in the applicable subsection of
Article 1 above , or to such other place as Sublessee may from time to time
designate in a notice to Sublessor.

ARTICLE 12.  SUBLESSOR'S CONSENT.
             -------------------

     12.1  Sublessor and Sublessee covenant and agree that wherever Landlord's
consent or approval is required under the terms of the Master Lease, Sublessee
must obtain both Landlord's and Sublessor's consent or approval (as the case may
be) to such act and it shall be a condition precedent to Sublessor's obligation
to consider consenting to or approving such act that Sublessee first obtain
Landlord's consent or approval (as the case may be).  If the Landlord does not
give its consent or approval (as the case may be) to such act, Sublessee
acknowledges and agrees that Sublessor may arbitrarily and unreasonably

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

withhold, condition or delay its consent to such act.  If  Landlord gives its
consent or approval (as the case may be) to such act, Sublessor shall (except as
otherwise specifically set out in this Sublease to the contrary) also consent or
approve such act.

ARTICLE 13.  CONSENT AND NONDISTURBANCE BY LANDLORD.
             --------------------------------------

     13.1 This Sublease shall be of no force or effect unless Sublessor receives
a written consent to this Sublease, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Sublessor and Sublessee in all respects, from the Landlord
within thirty (30) days after execution hereof by both Sublessor and Sublessee.
In connection therewith, Sublessee shall, (a) upon the request of Sublessor,
promptly furnish to Sublessor all information pertaining to the Sublessee
reasonably requested by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, and
(b) reasonably cooperate with Sublessor in its efforts to obtain written consent
to this Sublease from Landlord.

     13.2 Sublessor shall incur no liability in the event the consent of the
Master Lessor cannot be obtained.

     13.3 In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then:

          13.3.1  Such consent shall not release Sublessor of its obligations or
alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and perform and comply
with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed under the Master Lease.

          13.3.2  The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or
anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master
Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease.

          13.3.3  The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute consent to
any subsequent subletting or assignment.

          13.3.4  Master Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and
assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or
modifications thereto without notifying Sublessor or anyone else liable under
the Master Lease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not
relieve such persons from liability.  A month-to-month tenancy of less than 50%
of the subleased space shall not be considered to be a sublease by Sublessee.

     13.4 Upon the request of Sublessee, which may be exercised in its sole
discretion, and as a condition to the effectiveness of this Sublease for
Sublessee's benefit, Landlord

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

shall deliver to Sublessee a nondisturbance agreement (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Sublessee) under which Landlord agrees not to disturb
Sublessee's tenancy so long as Sublessee is not in default under this Sublease
notwithstanding that Sublessor may be in default under the Master Lease.

ARTICLE 14.  SUBORDINATION TO MASTER LEASE.
             -----------------------------

     14.1 Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that this Sublease and the estate
hereby granted are subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants,
provisions, conditions and agreements contained in the Master Lease and to all
leases, mortgages, encumbrances and other agreements and/or matters to which the
Master Lease is now or may hereafter become subject and subordinate.  This
clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall
be required. Sublessee shall, however, execute any certificates confirming such
subordination which Sublessor may request within ten (10) days after receipt of
such request, provided Landlord delivers to Sublessee its nondisturbance
agreement in commercially reasonable form.  Sublessee also agrees that this
Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease as the same may
hereafter be amended or modified; provided, however, that no such amendment or
modification shall either increase the obligations of Sublessee hereunder or
adversely affect Sublessee's rights, powers or privileges hereunder.

<PAGE>

          (v) Sublessor, to the best of Sublessor's knowledge, is not in default
