form in which such payment was made, whether by cash or check. In addition,

Accounts held by such Collecting Bank shall be transferred to the Depository
Account. Subject to the foregoing, each Debtor hereby agrees that all payments
received by the Secured Party or any Lender whether by cash, check, wire
transfer or any other instrument, made to such Blocked Accounts or otherwise
received by the Secured Party or any Lender and whether in respect of the
Accounts or as proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise will be the sole and
exclusive property of the Secured Party for the benefit of the Secured Party
and the Lenders. Each Debtor, and any of its Affiliates, employees, agents and
other Persons acting for or in concert with such Debtor shall, acting as
trustee for the Secured Party, receive, as the sole and exclusive property of
the Secured Party, any moneys, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating
to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into the
possession or under the control of such Debtor or any Affiliates, employees,

(b) the Secured Party or its Representative may make any
reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the
Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
11
12
(c) the Secured Party shall have all of the rights and
remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code (whether or not said Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in
the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such
additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the
laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may
be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of
ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Secured Party were the sole
and absolute owner thereof (and each Debtor agrees to take all such action as
may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
(d) the Secured Party or its Representative in their
discretion may, in the name of the Secured Party or in the name of a Debtor or
otherwise, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any
time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the
Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
(e) the Secured Party or its Representative may take
immediate possession and occupancy of any premises owned, used or leased by a
Debtor and exercise all other rights and remedies of an assignee which may be
available to the Secured Party; and
(f) the Secured Party may, upon ten (10) Business Days'
prior written notice to Debtors of the time and place (which notice Debtors
hereby agree is commercially reasonable notification for purposes hereof), with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall
thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Secured Party or
its Representative, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Secured Party deems best,
and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any
credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or
notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place
thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and
cannot be waived), and the Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser,
lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at
any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and
thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever
kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of
Debtors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly
waived and released. The Secured Party 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.
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition
under this Section 4.6 shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.9 hereof.
12
13
4.7. Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or
other realization of or upon the Collateral are insufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Liabilities,
Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency.
4.8. Private Sale. Each Debtor recognizes that the
Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the
Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained
in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and applicable state
securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor
acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and
other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale
and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale
shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Collateral to permit a Debtor to register such Collateral for public sale under
the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Debtors would agree
to do so. The Secured Party shall not incur any liability as a result of the
sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided
for in this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and each
Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a
private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Liabilities, even if the
Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree.
Each Debtor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such
other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any
portion or all of any such 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 Debtor's expense, provided that Debtors shall be under no obligation to
take any action to enable any or all of such Collateral to be registered under
the provisions of the Act. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of
the covenants contained in this Section 4.8 will cause irreparable injury to
the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every
covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be specifically enforceable
against Debtors, and each Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except
for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.9. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any
collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and
any other cash at the time held by the Secured Party under this Agreement,
shall be applied:
13
14
first, to payment of all expenses payable or reimbursable
under the Loan Documents executed by Debtors;
second, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the
Obligations;
third, to payment of principal of the Obligations;
fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting
Obligations; and
last, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to
the applicable Debtor.
4.10. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority
in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor or in its
own name, from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, in the discretion of the Secured Party, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate
action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Secured
Party the power and right, on behalf of such Debtor, without notice to or
assent by such Debtor, to do the following upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittance
and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral
and, in the name of such Debtor or its own name or otherwise, to take
possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to
file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or
equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable
and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of
law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Secured Party for the
purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever
payable;
(b) to pay or discharge charges or liens levied or placed
on or threatened against the Collateral (other than the Permitted Liens), to
effect any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all
or any part of the premiums therefor;
(c) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due
thereunder, directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall direct,
and to receive payment of and receipt for any and all
14
15
moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect
of or arising out of any Collateral;
(d) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express
bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other
Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral;
(e) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral;
(f) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against a Debtor with respect to any Collateral;
(g) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or
proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such
discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem appropriate; and
(h) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully
and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owners thereof for
all purposes, and to do, at the Secured Party's option and at such Debtor's
expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Secured Party reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and the Secured Party's lien therein, in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Debtor might do.
Each Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law,
all that such attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The
power of attorney granted hereunder is a power coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable until the Liabilities are indefeasibly paid in full and
the Credit Agreement is terminated.
Each Debtor also authorizes the Secured Party, at any time
from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, (x) to communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with
regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Debtor in and
under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (y) to
execute, in connection with any sale of Collateral provided for in Section 4.5
hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Collateral.
4.11. Perfection. Prior to or concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Debtor shall:
15
16
(a) file such financing statements, assignments for
security and other documents in such offices as may be necessary or as the
Secured Party or the Representative may request to perfect the security
interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement; and
(b) at Secured Party's request, deliver to the Secured
Party or its Representative the originals of all Instruments together with, in
the case of Instruments constituting promissory notes, allonges attached
thereto showing such promissory notes to be payable to the order of a blank
payee.
4.12. Termination. This Agreement and the Liens and
security interests granted hereunder shall not terminate until the termination
of the Credit Agreement and the full and complete performance and indefeasible
satisfaction of all the Liabilities (regardless of whether the Credit Agreement
shall have earlier terminated), whereupon the Secured Party shall forthwith
cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without
any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral
to or on the order of Debtors. The Secured Party shall also execute and
deliver to Debtors upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements, certificates for terminating the liens on the Motor
Vehicles (if any) and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested
by Debtors to effect the termination and release of the Liens and security
interests in favor of the Secured Party affecting the Collateral.
4.13. Further Assurances. (a) At any time and from time to
time, upon the written request of the Secured Party or its Representative, and
at the sole expense of Debtors, Debtors will promptly and duly execute and
deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take
such further actions as the Secured Party or its Representative may reasonably
require in order for the Secured Party to obtain the full benefits of this
Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted in favor of the Secured
Party, including, without limitation, using Debtors' best efforts to secure all
consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the
Secured Party of any Collateral held by Debtors or in which a Debtor has any
rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any financing or continuation
statements under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the liens and
security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to the Secured
Party's possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected
by possession), placing the interest of the Secured Party as lienholder on the
certificate of title of any Motor Vehicle and obtaining waivers of liens from
landlords and mortgagees. Each Debtor also hereby authorizes the Secured Party
and its Representative to file any such financing or continuation statement
without the signature of such Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) Upon the request of the Secured Party, each Debtor
shall procure insurers' acknowledgments of any assignments of key man life
insurance policies which may be assigned
16
17
to the Secured Party as additional security for the Liabilities (if any) and
will take all such further action as required by any insurer or the Secured
Party in connection with any such assignment.
4.14. Limitation on Duty of Secured Party. The powers
conferred on the Secured Party under this Agreement are solely to protect the
Secured Party's interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only
for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers and neither the Secured Party nor its Representative nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Debtors for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence and willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Party and any
Representative shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of the Collateral in their possession if such Collateral is
accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the relevant Secured
Party or any Representative, in its individual capacity, accords its own
property consisting of the type of Collateral involved, it being understood and
agreed that neither the Secured Party nor any Representative shall have any
responsibility for taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in
accordance with the standard of care set forth above) to preserve rights
against any person with respect to any Collateral.
Also without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither
the Secured Party nor any Representative shall have any obligation or liability
under any Contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or
the granting to the Secured Party of a security interest therein or assignment
thereof or the receipt by the Secured Party or any Representative of any
payment relating to any Contract or license pursuant hereto, nor shall the
Secured Party or any Representative be required or obligated in any manner to
perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Debtors under or pursuant to any
Contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the
nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of
any performance by any party under any Contract or license, or to present or
file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or
the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it
may be entitled at any time or times.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
5.1. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Secured
Party or any of its Representatives to exercise, and no course of dealing with
respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by
the Secured Party or any of its Representatives of any right, power or remedy
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive
of any rights and remedies provided by law.

unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect

5.8. Other Loan Documents. This Agreement supplements the
other Loan Documents and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
