covenants to the Bank that: (a) all information, including its type of

individuals only) principal residence are as set forth on Exhibit "A" hereto and
are true and correct on the date hereof; (b) the Grantor has good, marketable
and indefeasible title to the Collateral which it owns, has not made any prior
sale, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of any of the
Collateral except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Loan Documents) and
except in the ordinary course of business, and the Collateral is free from all
encumbrances and rights of setoff of any kind except the lien in favor of the
Bank created by this Agreement and except for Permitted Liens; (c) except as
herein provided or as provided in the Loan Documents, the Grantor will not
hereafter without the Bank's prior written consent sell, pledge, encumber,
assign or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or permit any right of
setoff, lien or security interest to exist thereon except to the Bank; (d) the
Grantor will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons
at any time claiming the same or any interest therein; (e) each account and
general intangible, if included in the definition of Collateral, is genuine and

or services by the Grantor and such goods will have been shipped to the
respective account debtors or the services will have been performed for the
respective account debtors, and no such account or general intangible will be
subject to any claim for credit, allowance or
3
adjustment by any account debtor or any setoff, defense or counterclaim except
in the ordinary course of business.
5. GRANTOR'S COVENANTS. The Grantor covenants that it shall:
(a) from time to time and at all reasonable times allow the Bank, by
or through any of its officers, agents, attorneys, or accountants, to examine or
inspect the Collateral, and obtain valuations and audits of the Collateral, at
the Bank's (or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Grantor's)
expense. The Grantor shall do, obtain, make, execute and deliver all such
additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances and instruments as the
Bank may reasonably require to vest in and assure to the Bank its rights
hereunder and in or to the Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, including
waivers from landlords, warehousemen and mortgagees. The Grantor agrees that
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof
the Bank has the right to notify (on invoices or otherwise) account debtors and
other obligors or payers on any Collateral of its assignment to the Bank, and
that all payments thereon should be made directly to the Bank, and that the Bank
has full power and authority to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise
deal with the Collateral in its own name or that of the Grantor;
(b) keep the Collateral in good order and repair at all times
(reasonable wear and tear excepted) and immediately notify the Bank of any event
causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral, and the amount of
such loss or depreciation;
(c) only use or permit the Collateral to be used in all material
respects in accordance with applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws
and regulations; and
(d) have and maintain insurance at all times with respect to all
Collateral against risks of fire (including so-called extended coverage), theft,
sprinkler leakage, and other risks (including risk of flood if any Collateral is
maintained at a location in a flood hazard zone) as the Bank may reasonably
require, in such form, in such amount, for such period and written by such
companies as may be satisfactory to the Bank in its reasonable discretion. Such
policies shall expressly provide that the requisite insurance cannot be altered
or canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Bank
and shall insure the Bank notwithstanding the act or neglect of the Grantor.
Upon the Bank's demand, the Grantor shall furnish the Bank with duplicate
original policies of insurance or such other evidence of insurance as the Bank
may require. In the event of failure to provide insurance as herein provided,
the Bank may, at its option, obtain such insurance and the Grantor shall pay to
the Bank, on demand, the cost thereof. Proceeds of insurance may be applied by
the Bank, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
to reduce the Obligations or to repair or replace Collateral, all in the Bank's
sole discretion.

7. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
8. FURTHER ASSURANCES. By its signature hereon, the Grantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Bank to execute (on behalf of the Grantor) and file against the
Grantor one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to
the UCC in form satisfactory to the Bank, and the Grantor will pay the cost of
preparing and filing the same in all jurisdictions in which such filing is
deemed by the Bank to be necessary or desirable in order to perfect, preserve
and protect its security interests. If required by the Bank, the Grantor will
execute all documentation necessary for the Bank to obtain and maintain
perfection of its security interests in the Collateral. If any Collateral
consists of letter of credit rights, electronic chattel paper, deposit accounts
or supporting obligations not maintained with the Bank or one of its affiliates,
or any securities entitlement, securities account, commodities account,
commodities contract or other investment property, then at the Bank's request
the Grantor will execute, and will cause the depository institution or
securities intermediary upon whose books and records the ownership interest of
the Grantor in such Collateral appears, to execute such Pledge Agreements,
Notification and Control Agreements or other agreements as the Bank deems
necessary in order to perfect, prioritize and protect its security interest in
such Collateral, in each case in a form satisfactory to the Bank.
9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Grantor shall, at the Bank's option, be in default
under this Agreement upon the happening of any Event of Default as defined in
any of the Obligations.
10. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time
thereafter during its continuance, the Bank may declare all Obligations secured
hereby immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to any remedies
provided herein or by any applicable law or in equity, all the remedies of a
secured party under the UCC. The Bank's remedies in those circumstances include,
but are not limited to, the right to (a) peaceably by its own means or with
judicial assistance enter the Grantor's premises and take possession of the
Collateral without prior notice to the Grantor or the opportunity for a hearing,
(b) render the Collateral unusable, (c) dispose of the Collateral on the
Grantor's premises, (d) require the Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to the Bank at a place designated by the Bank, and (e) notify the
United States Postal Service to send the Grantor's mail to the Bank. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Bank will give the Grantor
reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the
time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is
to be made. The requirements of commercially reasonable notice shall be met if
such notice is sent to the Grantor at least thirty (30) days before the time of
the intended sale or disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for
disposition,
5
disposing or the like shall include the Bank's reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses, incurred or expended by the Bank to enforce any payment due it
under this Agreement either as against the Grantor, or in the prosecution or
defense of any action, or concerning any matter growing out of or connection
with the subject matter of this Agreement and the Collateral pledged hereunder.
The Grantor waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in
force or hereafter enacted.
11. POWER OF ATTORNEY. The Grantor does hereby make, constitute and appoint any
officer or agent of the Bank as the Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
with power upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
to (a) endorse the name of the Grantor or any of the Grantor's officers or
agents upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of
payment of Grantor or Collateral that may come into the Bank's possession in
full or part payment of any Obligations; (b) xxx for, compromise, settle and
release all claims and disputes with respect to, the Collateral; and (c) sign,
for the Grantor, such documentation required by the UCC granting to the
Grantor's said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done
in and about the premises as fully and effectually as the Grantor might or could
do. The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an
interest, and is irrevocable.
12. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. At its option, the Bank, if not paid for by the
Grantor, may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other
encumbrances as may attach to the Collateral (that are not Permitted Liens), may
pay for required insurance on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Collateral, as determined by the Bank to be necessary. The
Grantor will reimburse the Bank on demand for any payment so made or any expense
incurred by the Bank pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and the Collateral
also will secure any advances or payments so made or expenses so incurred by the
Bank.
13. NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other
communications required or permitted hereunder ("NOTICES") must be in writing
and will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which
the parties may separately agree, including electronic mail. Without limiting
the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier
service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.
Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to such address
as any party may give to the other for such purpose in accordance with this
section.
14. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. No delay or omission on the Bank's part to exercise
any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be
considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Bank's action or
inaction impair any such right or power. The Bank's rights and remedies
hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies,
6
which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.
15. ILLEGALITY. If any provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
16. CHANGES IN WRITING. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to
any departure by the Grantor from, any provision of this Agreement will be
effective unless made in a writing signed by the Bank and the Grantor, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Grantor will entitle
the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstance unless otherwise required by this Agreement or applicable
law.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments
referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

copies and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies

counterpart of signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any party so
executing this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a
manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not
affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

give the Grantor prompt written notice of any claim or litigation for which such
Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity from Grantor. Upon receipt of such
notice, Grantor may assume control of the defense of any such claim or
litigation. Once Grantor has assumed the defense of any such claim or
litigation, Grantor shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party
for any legal fees or expenses thereafter incurred. The indemnity agreement
