(h) This Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing lien on and perfected security interests in favor of Secured Party in Grantor's Intellectual Property and such perfected security interests are enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of Grantor.  Upon filing of this Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the filing of appropriate financing statements listed on Schedule I hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect Secured Party's lien on Grantor's Intellectual Property shall have been duly taken.

8

owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from Grantor, except in the case of Secured Party, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  All such obligations of Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantor and shall not be enforceable against Secured Party.
(e) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc.  In all material respects, Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect of the Collateral and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound relating to the Collateral.
(f) Limitation on Liens on Collateral.  Grantor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any lien on the Collateral except Permitted Encumbrances or liens that would otherwise be subordinate to the liens of Secured Party hereunder and to which Secured Party has provided prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and will defend the right, title and interest of Secured Party in and to any of Grantor's rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(g) Limitations on Disposition.  Grantor will not sell, license, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt or contract to do so, in each case except for (i) the sale, lease or licensing of Inventory or Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of business, (ii) the disposition of obsolete goods in the ordinary course of business, (iii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of any Grantor as part of any asset sale, consolidation, conversion, exchange, merger, or similar transaction, or (iv) as otherwise contemplated by the factoring arrangements referenced in the definition of Permitted Encumbrance (or any replacement factoring arrangements).

6. SECURED PARTY'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.  On the Effective Date, Grantor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party a power of attorney (the "Power of Attorney") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date.  The powers conferred on Secured Party under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Secured Party's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  Secured Party agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, Secured Party shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Secured Party shall account for any moneys received by Secured Party in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral, and Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers.  NONE OF SECURED PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
7. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Working Capital Note and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Secured Party's claim or action, and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future
 
10

delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption Grantor hereby releases.  Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice.  Secured Party shall have the right to conduct such sales on Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use Grantor's premises without charge for such time or times as Secured Party deems necessary or advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor further agrees, at Secured Party's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place or places designated by Secured Party which are reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Grantor, whether at Grantor's premises or elsewhere.  Until Secured Party is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Secured Party shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Secured Party.  Secured Party shall not have any obligation to Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Secured Party.  Secured Party may, if it so elects at any time an Event of Default exists, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Secured Party's remedies with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.  Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations then due under the Working Capital Note, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Grantor.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Secured Party of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.  Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods
 
 
11

or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(c).  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) Secured Party shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof.  Secured Party shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder or under the Working Capital Note shall be cumulative.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.

9. LIMITATION ON SECURED PARTY'S DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.  Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Secured Party shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
10. REINSTATEMENT.  This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

12. SEVERABILITY.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement.  This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Working Capital Note and any other agreements executed in connection therewith, which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Secured Party and Grantor with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

14. LIMITATION BY LAW.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
15. TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.  Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Party, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns.  No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the lien granted to Secured Party hereunder.   Grantor may not assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.
17. COUNTERPARTS.  This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement.  The Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Secured Party, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and in accordance with Section 6 of the Security Agreement, Attorney shall not exercise any power or right under this Power of Attorney (except for the powers granted in clause (h) above) unless an Event of Default, as referred to in the Security Agreement, shall have occurred and is continuing.
