SECTION 7. SPECIAL COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO EQUIPMENT AND INVENTORY.
Grantor shall:
(a) keep the Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory sold in
the ordinary course of business) at the places there for specified on Schedule 1

other places in jurisdictions where all action that may be necessary or

any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable
Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, with
respect to such Equipment and Inventory shall have been taken;
(b) cause the Equipment to be maintained and preserved in the same
condition, repair and working order as when new, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, and in accordance with any manufacturer's manual, and shall forthwith,
or, in the case of any loss or damage to any of the Equipment when subsection

SECTION 8. INSURANCE.
(a) Grantor shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with
respect to the Equipment and Inventory in such amounts, against such risks, in
such form and with such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Secured Party from
time to time. Such insurance shall include, without limitation, property damage
insurance and liability insurance. Each policy for property
5
damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid directly to Secured
Party. Each policy shall in addition name Grantor and Secured Party as insured
parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon
Secured Party) as their interests may appear and have attached thereto a loss
payable clause acceptable to Secured Party that shall (i) contain an agreement
by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to Secured Party
notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by
Grantor, (ii) provide that there shall be no recourse against Secured Party for
payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto, and (iii) provide
that at least 30 days' prior written notice of cancellation, material amendment,
reduction in scope or limits of coverage or of lapse shall be given to Secured
Party by the insurer. Grantor shall, if so requested by Secured Party, deliver
to Secured Party original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often
as Secured Party may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance
broker with respect to such insurance. Further, Grantor shall, at the request
of Secured Party, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such
insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 5(a) and cause the
respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by Grantor
pursuant to this Section 8 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have
incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving
damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 8 is not
applicable, Grantor shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or
replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
maintained by Grantor pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid to Grantor as
reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.
(c) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event
of Default or (ii) the actual or constructive loss (in excess of $100,000 per
occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect of
such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied by Secured Party as
specified in Section 17.
SECTION 9. SPECIAL COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO ACCOUNTS AND RELATED
CONTRACTS.
(a) Grantor shall keep its chief place of business and chief
executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the
Accounts and Related Contracts at the location there for specified in Section 4
or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to Secured Party, at such other location
in a jurisdiction where all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that
Secured Party may request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable Secured Party to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, with respect to such
Accounts and Related Contracts shall have been taken. Grantor will hold and
preserve such records and, subject to Section 6.1(f) of the Credit Agreement,
will permit representatives of Secured Party at any time during normal business
hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records, and Grantor agrees to
render to Secured Party, at Grantor's cost and expense, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. Promptly upon
the request of Secured Party, Grantor shall deliver to Secured Party complete
and correct copies of each Related Contract.
(b) Grantor shall, for not less than 5 years from the date on which
such
6
Account arose, maintain (i) complete records of each Account, including records
of all payments received, credits granted and merchandise returned, and (ii) all
documentation relating thereto.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), Grantor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
Grantor under the Accounts and Related Contracts. In connection with such
collections, Grantor may take (and, at Secured Party's direction, shall take)
such action as Grantor or Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to
enforce collection of amounts due or to become due under the Accounts; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Secured Party shall have the right at any time, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or an event which
with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, and upon written notice to Grantor of its intention to do so,
to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment
of such Accounts to Secured Party, and to direct such account debtors or
obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Grantor
thereunder directly to Secured Party, to notify each person maintaining a
lockbox or similar arrangement to which account debtors or obligors under any
Accounts have been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing
collections on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or
deposited in such lock box or other arrangement directly to Secured Party and,
upon such notification and at the expense of Grantor, to enforce collection of
any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Grantor might have done.
After receipt by Grantor of the notice from Secured Party referred to in the
PROVISO to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including
checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of the Accounts and
the Related Contracts shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured
Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be
forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 17, and (ii) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any
account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
SECTION 10. DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party may exercise dominion and
control over, and refuse to permit further withdrawals (whether of money,
securities, instruments or other property) from any deposit accounts maintained
with Secured Party constituting part of the Collateral.
SECTION 11. LICENSE OF PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS, ETC. Grantor
hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party, effective upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the nonexclusive
right and license to use all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents or
technical processes owned or used by Grantor that relate to the Collateral and
any other collateral granted by Grantor as security for the Secured Obligations,
together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to
enable Secured Party to use, possess and realize on the Collateral and to enable
any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right and
license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of
Secured Party and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary
conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license is granted free of charge,
without requirement
7
that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to Grantor.
SECTION 12. TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. Grantor shall not:
(a) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collateral except as permitted by the Credit Agreement; or
(b) except for the security interest created by this Agreement and
Permitted Liens, create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any
of the Collateral to secure the indebtedness or other obligations of any person.
SECTION 13. SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor,
Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default in Secured Party's discretion to take
any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation: (a) to sign and file on behalf of Grantor any
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all
or any part of the Collateral, regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing; (b) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be
maintained by Grantor or paid to Secured Party pursuant to Section 8; (c) to
ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect
of any of the Collateral; (d) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or
other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a)
and (b) above; (e) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral; (f) to pay or discharge
taxes or liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral,
the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the
same to be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such
payments made by Secured Party to become obligations of Grantor to Secured
Party, due and payable immediately without demand; (g) to sign and endorse
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 relating to the Collateral; 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 Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to
do, at Secured Party's option and Grantor's expense, all acts and things that
Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein in order to effect
the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.
SECTION 14. SECURED PARTY MAY PERFORM. If Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under Section 18.
SECTION 15. STANDARD OF CARE. The powers conferred on Secured Party
hereunder are
8
solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care
in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys
actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own
property.
SECTION 16. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the "Code") (whether
or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (a) require
Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon
request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to
be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
(b) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process, (c) prior to the disposition of the
Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise
prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party
deems appropriate, (d) take possession of Grantor's premises or place custodians
in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any
of Grantor's equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking
any actions described in the preceding clause (c) and collecting any Secured
Obligation, and (e) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Secured Party
may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and
Secured Party shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use nd apply any of the Secured
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral
payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of
Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any
time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten days' notice to Grantor of the time and place of
any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed there for, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the
fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private
sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale,
even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale
9
or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured
Obligations, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any
attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 17. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect
of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of
the Collateral may in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party
as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in full
or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in the following
order of priority:
FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection
or other realization, including reasonable compensation to Secured Party and its
agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or
incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, and all amounts for which
Secured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by
Secured Party hereunder for the account of Grantor, and to the payment of all
costs and expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, all in accordance with Section 18;
SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations in such order as
Secured Party shall elect; and
THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Grantor, or to whosoever may
be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
SECTION 18. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.
(a) Grantor agrees to indemnify Secured Party from and against any
and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or
resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Secured Party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Grantor will pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any
and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of
any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Grantor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 19. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST: TRANSFER OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full
of the Secured Obligations, and the cancellation or termination of the Credit
Agreement, (b) be binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and
(c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to
10
the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), Secured Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any Secured Obligations held by it to any other
Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to Secured Party herein or otherwise. Upon
the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Credit Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor. Upon any
such termination, Secured Party will, at Grantor's expense, execute and deliver
to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
SECTION 20. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or consent to any departure by Grantor here from, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured
Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
SECTION 21. NOTICES. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, telex or facsimile communication) and mailed or
telegraphed or telexed or sent by facsimile or delivered, if to the Grantor, at
its address set forth on the signature page hereof; and if to the Secured Party,
at its address set forth on the signature page hereof; or, as to each party, at
such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to
the other parties. All such notices and communications shall be effective three
(3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S mail, postage prepaid, when sent by
telex or sent by facsimile, or when delivered, respectively.
SECTION 22. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No
failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.
All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not
