         2.4) Security for Promissory Notes. ALTI's performance under the Prior
Note described in Sections 2.2(b) shall be secured by a security agreement
granting Telex a lien on ALTI's interest in the Marks on the terms set forth on

will be subordinate in lien and subordinate in payment to the holder of the
first lien on the Marks, namely, ALTI's Lender's first priority security
interest in the Marks. ALTI's performance under the promissory notes described
in Sections 2.2(c) and (d) (the "Subordinate Promissory Notes") shall be secured
by a security agreement granting Telex a lien on ALTI's interest in the Marks on
the terms set forth on Exhibit 2.4(b) (the "Subordinate Security Agreement").
The Subordinate Security Interest shall be subordinate only to the rights of
ALTI's Lender and which shall include such additional subordination,
inter-creditor and forbearance provisions as are typically required in such
transactions by ALTI's Lender. Telex agrees to execute a subordination agreement
(the "Subordination Agreement") evidencing the subordination of its prior
security interest and subordinate security interest and the limitation of its
remedies thereunder as ALTI's Lender may require, provided that the terms of
such documents are typical of those required in similar transactions by ALTI's
Lender.

design which it believes infringes on any Mark or is likely to cause confusion
with any Mark. Debtor may, at Debtor's sole expense, bring such action as

protection of Secured Party's interest in and to the Marks, Secured Party may
bring such action. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor, at Debtor's expense,
shall join with Secured Party in such action as Secured Party, in Secured
Party's discretion, may deem advisable for the protection of Secured Party's
interest in and to the Marks.

product manufactured, promoted, or sold by Debtor (or any affiliate or
subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Trademark or out of the manufacture,

affiliate or subsidiary thereof). Debtor shall not be obliged to so indemnify

termination of this Agreement and the termination or nonrenewal of the
Promissory Note.

         (l) Except as otherwise set forth herein, Debtor shall promptly pay

application, registration, or recording relating thereto), in form suitable for
filing, recording, or registration. Debtor agrees to pay Secured Party on demand

person as may be entitled thereto under applicable law or order of any court or
other governmental authority.

         (f) Debtor shall supply to Secured Party or to Secured Party's
designee, Debtor's knowledge and expertise relating to the manufacture and sale
of the products and services bearing the Marks and Debtor's customer lists and
other records relating to the Marks and the distribution thereof

         (c) This Agreement, the Promissory Note and any other document referred
to herein or therein shall be binding upon each party and its successors and
assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each party and its
successors and assigns.

         (d) If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any person

         (e) This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and the related written
agreements specifically referred to herein, represents the only agreement among
the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, whether written or oral, relating thereto. No purported amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be binding unless set forth
in a written document signed by all parties (in the case of amendments or
modifications) or by the party to be charged thereby (in the case of waivers).

the same or any other obligations of that party. Failure on the part of either
party to complain of any act or failure to act on the part of the other party or
to declare the other party in default, irrespective of how long the failure
continues, shall not constitute a waiver by that party of its rights under this
Agreement.

Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

<PAGE>   46

Secured Party to execute and file one or more financing statements (or similar
documents) with respect to the Collateral, signed only by Secured Party or as

or government office.

         (e) As of the date hereof, Debtor has not granted any licenses with
respect to the Marks other than as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

         (f) Debtor shall, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this

Secured Party hereunder. _______ shall be bound by this Agreement and shall hold
and shall not deliver such Special Power of Attorney to Secured Party, except
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. ____________ shall make
no copies of such Special Power of Attorney. Promptly upon termination of this
Agreement, regardless of the reason for such termination, ______________ shall
return to Debtor all five (5) originals of the Special Power of Attorney, and
any copies thereof, except such originals as shall have properly been delivered
to Secured Party under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         (g) Secured Party may, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, pay
any amount or do any act which Debtor fails to pay or do as required hereunder
or as reasonably requested by Secured Party to preserve, defend, protect
maintain, record or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral, or the security
interest and conditional assignment granted hereunder, including, but not
limited to, all filing or recording fees, court costs, collection charges,
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses. Debtor shall be liable to Secured
Party for such reasonable and actual payments as are made by Secured Party which
payments were necessary to preserve, defend, protect maintain, or enforce the
Obligations, the Collateral, or the security interest and conditional assignment
granted hereunder, which payment shall be deemed an advance by Secured Party to

applicable to the Obligations set forth in the Promissory Notes and shall be
part of the Obligations secured hereby.

         (h) Debtor has not abandoned any of the Marks and Debtor will not do
any act, nor omit to do any act, whereby the Marks may become abandoned,
invalidated, unenforceable, avoided, or avoidable; provided, that, Debtor may
abandon or fail to maintain any of the Marks after thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Secured Party with respect to any Marks that satisfy each of
the following conditions: (i) any such Trademark is no longer used or useful in
the business of Debtor or any of its affiliates, (ii) any such Trademark has not
been used by Debtor or any of its affiliates for a period of six (6) months in
an applicable territory or more from the date of such written notice to Secured
Party and (iii) any such Mark is not otherwise material to the business of
Debtor or any of its affiliates in any respect and has little or no value.
Debtor shall notify Secured Party immediately if it knows or has reason to know
of any reason why any

                                       4
<PAGE>   47

application, registration, or recording with respect to the Marks may become
abandoned, canceled, invalidated, avoided, or avoidable.

         (i) Debtor shall render any assistance, as Secured Party shall in good
faith determine is necessary, to Secured Party in any proceeding before the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, any federal or state court, or any
similar office or agency in the United States, any State thereof, any political
subdivision thereof or in any other country, to maintain such application and
registration of the Marks as Debtor's exclusive property and to protect Secured
Party's interest therein, including, without limitation, filing of renewals,
affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference,
and cancellation proceedings (except to the extent a trademark may be abandoned
as permitted under Section 3(h) above).

         (j) Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party if Debtor learns of any
use by any person of any term or design which it believes infringes on any Mark
or is likely to cause confusion with any Mark. Secured Party shall promptly
notify Debtor if Secured Party learns of any use by any person of any term or
design which it believes infringes on any Mark or is likely to cause confusion
with any Mark. Debtor may, at Debtor's sole expense, bring such action as
Debtor, in Debtor's sole discretion, may deem advisable for the protection of
the Marks; any recovery from such action shall be for the sole use and benefit
of Debtor. In the event that Debtor has not brought such action, and Secured
Party, in Secured Party's sole discretion deems such action advisable for the
protection of Secured Party's interest in and to the Marks, Secured Party may
bring such action. If requested by Secured Party, Debtor, at Debtor's expense,
shall join with Secured Party in such action as Secured Party, in Secured
Party's discretion, may deem advisable for the protection of Secured Party's
interest in and to the Marks.

         (k) Debtor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from its
use of the Marks and Debtor hereby indemnifies and holds Secured Party harmless
from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses) arising out of any alleged defect in any
product manufactured, promoted, or sold by Debtor (or any affiliate or
subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Trademark or out of the manufacture,
promotion, labeling, sale or advertisement of any such product by Debtor (or any
affiliate or subsidiary thereof). Debtor shall not be obligated to so indemnify
and hold Secured Party harmless to the extent such losses, costs, damages,
expenses and liabilities are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Telex. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations, the
termination of this Agreement and the termination or nonrenewal of the
Promissory Notes.

         (l) Except as otherwise set forth herein, Debtor shall promptly pay
Secured Party for any and all expenditures made by Secured Party pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement or for the defense, protection or enforcement of
the Obligations, the Collateral, or the security interests and conditional
assignment granted hereunder, including, but not limited to, all filing or
recording fees, court costs, collection charges, travel expenses, and reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses. Such expenditures shall be payable on
demand, together with interest at the rate then applicable to the Obligations
set forth in the Promissory Notes and shall be part of the Obligations secured
hereby.

                                       5
<PAGE>   48

         (m) This Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral
securing the payment of the Obligations.

         4.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         All Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without
notice or demand, at the option of Secured Party, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, as such term is defined in the Promissory Notes (each an
"Event of Default" hereunder).

         5.       RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

         At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in
addition to all other rights and remedies of Secured Party, whether provided
under this Agreement, the Promissory Notes, applicable law or otherwise, Secured
Party shall have the following rights and remedies which may be exercised
without notice to, or consent by, Debtor except as such notice or consent is
expressly provided for hereunder:

         (a) Secured Party may require that neither Debtor nor any affiliate or
subsidiary of Debtor make any use of the Marks or any marks similar thereto for
any purpose whatsoever. Secured Party may make use of any Marks for the sale of
goods, completion of work-in-process or rendering of services in connection with
enforcing any other security interest granted to Secured Party by Debtor or any
subsidiary or affiliate of Debtor.

         (b) Secured Party may grant such license or licenses relating to the
Collateral for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as
Secured Party shall in its good faith discretion deem appropriate. Such license
or licenses may be general, special or otherwise, and may be granted on an
exclusive or non-exclusive basis throughout all or any part of the United States
of America, its territories and possessions, and all foreign countries.

         (c) __________ may release from escrow one or more of the five (5)
originals of the Special Power of Attorney held pursuant to paragraph 3(f) of
this Agreement. Secured Party may assign, sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof, either with or without special conditions or
stipulations except that if notice to Debtor of intended disposition of
Collateral is required by law, the giving of ten (10) days prior written notice
to Debtor of any proposed disposition shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof
and Debtor waives any other notice with respect thereto. Secured Party shall
have the power to buy the Collateral or any part thereof, and Secured Party
shall also have the power to execute assurances and perform all other acts which
Secured Party may, in its good faith discretion, deem appropriate or proper to
complete such assignment sale, or disposition. In any such event, Debtor shall
be liable for any deficiency and, in the event of any surplus, such surplus
shall be paid to Debtor or such other person as may be entitled thereto under
applicable law or order of any court or other governmental authority.

         (d) In addition to the foregoing, in order to implement the assignment
sale, or other disposition of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms
hereof, Secured Party may at any time execute and deliver on behalf of Debtor,
pursuant to the authority granted in the Powers of Attorney described in Section
3(f) hereof, one or more instruments of assignment of the Marks (or any
application, registration, or recording relating thereto), in form suitable for
filing, recording, or registration. Debtor agrees to pay Secured Party on demand
all costs incurred in any such transfer of the Collateral, including, but not
limited to, any taxes, fees, and reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

         (e) Secured Party shall apply the proceeds actually received from any
such license, assignment, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral to
the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party may reasonably
determine. Debtor shall remain liable to Secured Party for any of the
Obligations remaining unpaid after the application of such proceeds, and Debtor
shall pay Secured Party on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest
at the rate then applicable to the Obligations set forth in the Promissory
Notes. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to Debtor or such
other person as may be entitled thereto under applicable law or order of any
court or other governmental authority.

         (f) Debtor shall supply to Secured Party or to Secured Party's
designee, Debtor's knowledge and expertise relating to the manufacture and sale
of the products and services bearing the Marks and Debtor's customer lists and
other records relating to the Marks and the distribution thereof

         (g) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Secured
Party to take any such action at any time. All of Secured Party's rights and
remedies, whether provided under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements,
applicable law, or otherwise, shall be cumulative and none is exclusive. Such
rights and remedies may be enforced alternatively, successively, or
concurrently.

         6.       JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW

matters except in such courts described above (except that Secured Party shall
have the right to bring any action or proceeding against Debtor or its property
in the courts of any other jurisdiction which is reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its
rights against Debtor or its property).

upon Debtor in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts.
Within thirty (30) days after such service, Debtor shall appear in answer to
such process, failing which Debtor shall be deemed in default and judgment may
be entered by Secured Party against Debtor for the amount of the claim and other
relief requested. Secured Party hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth

         (d) DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY

WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY IN
RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE

THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

         (e) Secured Party shall not have any liability to Debtor (whether in
tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Debtor in connection
with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships
contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection herewith, unless it is determined by a judgment or court order
binding on Secured Party that the losses were the result of acts or omissions
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.
