     agreements to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to
     be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the
     terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account or the terms of
     such contract or agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
     shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement
     giving rise thereto), contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of
     this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any
     Lender of any payment relating to such Account, contract or agreement
     pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be
     obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of an Obligor
     under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto),
     contract or agreement, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the


                                       4



     nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the
     sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any
     agreement giving rise thereto), contract or agreement, to present or file
     any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the
     payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it
     may be entitled at any time or times.

          (b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Obligors to collect
     the Accounts; provided, that the Administrative Agent may curtail or
     terminate such authority at any time after the occurrence and during the
     continuation of an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative
     Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
     Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, when collected by the Obligors
     (i) shall be forthwith (and in any event within two (2) Business Days)
     deposited by the Obligors in a collateral account maintained under the sole
     dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by
     the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders only as provided in
     Section 12 hereof, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by the
     Obligors in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated
     from other funds of the Obligors.

          (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
     continuance thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not
     the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner
     and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the
     Obligors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the
     Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test
     verifications. Upon the Administrative Agent's request and at the expense
     of the Obligors, the Obligors shall cause independent public accountants or
     others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the
     Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test
     verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts; provided that the
     right of the Administrative Agent to request such reports shall be limited
     to (i) once per calendar year and (ii) at any time after the occurrence and
     during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an
     Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Administrative
     Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account
     debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent's
     satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts.

     4. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, that so

     amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be
     or become evidenced by


                                       8

     certificated securities, promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the
     existence of such Collateral and deliver such Instrument, Chattel Paper,

     Agreement.

     the Administrative Agent thereof and provide any information reasonably
     required by the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and (B) execute
     and deliver (and, with respect to any Collateral consisting of
     uncertificated Investment Property, cause the Securities Intermediary or
     the issuer, as applicable, with respect to such Investment Property to
     execute and deliver) to the Administrative Agent all control agreements,
     assignments, instruments or other documents as reasonably requested by the
     Administrative Agent for the purposes of obtaining and maintaining Control
     of such Collateral. If any Collateral shall consist of Deposit Accounts or
     Securities Accounts, comply with the terms of Section 6.14 of the Credit
     Agreement with respect thereto.

          (d) Other Liens. Defend its interests in the material Collateral
     against the claims and demands of all other parties claiming an interest
     therein and keep the Collateral free from all Liens, except for Permitted
     Liens. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender authorizes any
     Obligor to, and no Obligor shall, sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease
     or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein, except as
     permitted under the Credit Agreement.

          (e) Preservation of Collateral. Keep all material Collateral useful to
     the business of the Obligors in good order, condition and repair in all
     material respects, ordinary wear and tear excepted; not use the Collateral
     in violation of the provisions of this Security Agreement or any other
     agreement relating to the Collateral or any policy insuring the Collateral
     or any applicable Requirement of Law; not permit any material portion of
     the Collateral taken as a whole to be or become a fixture to real property
     or an accession to other personal property unless the Administrative Agent
     has a valid, perfected and first priority security interest for the benefit
     of the Lenders in such real or personal property; and not, without the
     prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, alter or remove any
     identifying symbol or number on or of its material Equipment.

          (f) Changes in Structure or Location. Within thirty (30) days after
     any Obligor (i) alters its legal existence or, in one transaction or a
     series of transactions, merges into or consolidates with any other entity,
     or sells all or substantially all of its assets, (ii) changes its state of
     incorporation or organization, or (iii) changes its registered legal name,
     in each case in a manner that will require the Administrative Agent to
     amend any UCC financing statement in order to maintain its perfected
     security interest in the


                                       9



     Collateral of such Obligor, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and
     take such actions and execute such documents as may be reasonably required
     by the Administrative Agent to maintain its perfected security interest in
     the Collateral of such Obligor.

          (g) Inspection. Allow the Administrative Agent or its representatives
     to visit and inspect the Collateral as set forth in Section 5.6 of the

          (h) Collateral Held by Third Parties. If any Collateral, individually
     in excess of $2,500,000 or $25,000,000 in the aggregate, is at any time in
     the possession or control of a warehouseman, bailee or any agent or
     processor of such Obligor or held by a third party (other than an Obligor)
     pursuant to consignment, sale or return, sale on approval or similar
     arrangement, (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such possession, (ii)

     the Administrative Agent, (A) instruct such Person to hold all such
     Collateral for the Administrative Agent's account subject to the
     Administrative Agent's instructions, (B) obtain an acknowledgment from such
     Person that it is holding such Collateral for the benefit of the
     Administrative Agent and/or (C) take any other action or execute any
     document reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to perfect the
     Administrative Agent's and/or such Obligor's security interest in such
     Collateral; provided that any Collateral of an Obligor that is held by a
     third party (other than an Obligor) pursuant to consignment, sale or
     return, sale on approval or similar arrangement with respect to which such
     Obligor has a perfected purchase money security interest shall not be
     subject to the requirements of this Section 5(h).

          (i) Treatment of Accounts. (i) Not grant or extend the time for
     payment of any Account, or compromise or settle any material Account for
     less than the full amount thereof, or release any person or property, in
     whole or in part, from payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount
     thereon, other than as normal and customary in the ordinary course of an
     Obligor's business and (ii) maintain at its principal place of business a
     record of Accounts consistent with customary business practices.

          (j) Covenants Relating to Inventory.

               (i) Maintain, keep and preserve its material Inventory in good
          salable condition at its own cost and expense.

               (ii) Comply with all reporting requirements set forth in the
          Credit Agreement with respect to Inventory.

               (iii) Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent,
          deliver any document of title with respect to Inventory of an Obligor
          to the Administrative Agent.

          (k) Covenants Relating to Copyrights. To the extent a Copyright is
     material to the business of the Obligors taken as a whole and comprises an
     item of Material Intellectual Property:


                                       10



               (i) Employ such Copyright for each applicable Work with such
          notice of copyright as may be required by law to secure copyright
          protection.

               (ii) Not do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such
          Copyright may become invalidated and (A) not do any act, or knowingly
          omit to do any act, whereby such Copyright may become injected into
          the public domain; (B) notify the Administrative Agent immediately if
          it knows, or has reason to know, that such Copyright could reasonably
          be expected to become injected into the public domain or of any
          adverse determination or development (including, without limitation,
          the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any
          proceeding in any court or tribunal in the United States or any other
          country) regarding the ownership of such Copyright or its validity;
          (C) take all necessary steps as it shall deem appropriate under the
          circumstances to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain
          the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of such
          Copyright including, without limitation, filing of applications for
          renewal where necessary; and (D) promptly notify the Administrative
          Agent of any material infringement of such Copyright of which it
          becomes aware and take such actions as it shall reasonably deem
          appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Copyright,
          including, where appropriate, the bringing of suit for infringement,
          seeking injunctive relief and seeking to recover any and all damages
          for such infringement.

               (iii) Not make any assignment or agreement in conflict with the
          security interest in such Copyright hereunder.

          (l) Covenants Relating to Patents and Trademarks. To the extent a
     Patent or Trademark is material to the business of the Obligors, taken as a
     whole and comprises an item of Material Intellectual Property:

               (i) (A) Continue to use such Trademark in order to maintain such
          Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for
          non-use, (B) employ such Trademark with the appropriate notice of
          registration, (C) not adopt or use any mark which is confusingly
          similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the
          Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, shall
          obtain a perfected security interest in such mark pursuant to this
          Security Agreement, and (D) not (and not permit any licensee or
          sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act
          whereby such Trademark may become invalidated.

               (ii) Not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby such Patent
          may become abandoned or dedicated.

               (iii) Promptly notify the Administrative Agent if it knows, or
          has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to
          such Patent or Trademark may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any
          adverse determination


                                       11



          or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or
          any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United
          States Patent and Trademark Office or any court or tribunal in any
          country) regarding the ownership of such Patent or Trademark or its
          right to register the same or to keep, maintain and use the same.

               (iv) Whenever an Obligor, either by itself or through an agent,
          employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the
          registration of such Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent
          and Trademark Office or any similar office or agency in any other
          country or any political subdivision thereof, such Obligor shall
          report such filing to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
          terms of Section 5.2(c) of the Credit Agreement. Upon the request of
          the Administrative Agent, an Obligor shall execute and deliver any and
          all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the
          Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative
          Agent's security interest in such Patent or Trademark and the goodwill
          and General Intangibles of such Obligor relating thereto or
          represented thereby.

               (v) Take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without
          limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and
          Trademark Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country
          or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each
          application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain each
          registration of such Patent or Trademark, including, without
          limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and
          affidavits of incontestability.

               (vi) Promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns
          that such Patent or Trademark is materially infringed, misappropriated
          or diluted by a third party and, if commercially reasonable, promptly
          sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive
          relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such
          infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or take such other actions
          as it shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to
          protect such Patent or Trademark.

               (vii) Not make any assignment or agreement in conflict with the
          security interest in such Patent or Trademarks hereunder.

          (m) New Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks. In accordance with the
     terms of Section 5.2(c) of the Credit Agreement, provide the Administrative
     Agent with (i) a listing of all applications, if any, for new items of
     Intellectual Property that comprise Material Intellectual Property
     (together with a listing of the issuance of registrations or letters on
     present applications), which new applications and issued registrations or
     letters shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereunder, and (ii)
     (A) with respect to any such new Material Intellectual Property consisting
     of Copyrights and Copyright Licenses, a duly executed Notice of Grant of
     Security Interest in Copyrights, (B) with respect to any such new Material
     Intellectual Property consisting of Patents and Patent Licenses, a duly


                                       12



     executed Notice of Grant of Security Interest in Patents, (C) with respect
     to any such new Material Intellectual Property consisting of Trademarks and
     Trademark Licenses, a duly executed Notice of Grant of Security Interest in
     Trademarks or (D) such other duly executed documents as the Administrative
     Agent may request in a form acceptable to counsel for the Administrative
     Agent and suitable for recording to evidence the security interest of the
     Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in the Material Intellectual
     Property which is the subject of such new application.

          (n) Commercial Tort Claims; Notice of Litigation. (i) Promptly forward
     to the Administrative Agent written notification of any and all material
     Commercial Tort Claims of the Obligors, including, but not limited to, any
     and all actions, suits, and proceedings before any court or Governmental
     Authority by or affecting such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii)
     execute and deliver such statements, documents and notices and do and cause
     to be done all such things as may be required by the Administrative Agent,
     or required by law, including all things which may from time to time be
     necessary under the UCC to fully create, preserve, perfect and protect the
     priority of the Administrative Agent's security interest in any Commercial
     Tort Claims.

          (o) Regulatory Approvals. Promptly, and at its expense, execute and
     deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all material applications,
     certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents
     and papers the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and as may be
     required by law to acquire any Governmental Approval or the consent,
     approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any other Person
     deemed necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any of the
     rights under this Security Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
     the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing, each Obligor shall take any action which the Administrative
     Agent may reasonably request in order to transfer and assign to the
     Administrative Agent, or to such one or more third parties as the
     Administrative Agent may designate, or to a combination of the foregoing,
     each Government Approval of such Obligor. To enforce the provisions of this
     subsection, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
     Default, the Administrative Agent is empowered to request the appointment
     of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such receiver shall
     be instructed to seek from the Governmental Authority an involuntary
     transfer of control of each such Governmental Approval for the purpose of
     seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom control will ultimately be
     transferred. Each Obligor hereby agrees to authorize such an involuntary
     transfer of control upon the request of the receiver so appointed, and, if
     such Obligor shall refuse to authorize the transfer, its approval may be
     required by the court. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
     Default, such Obligor shall further use its commercially reasonable efforts
     to assist in obtaining Governmental Approvals, if required, for any action
     or transaction contemplated by this Security Agreement, including, without
     limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with the Governmental
     Authority of such Obligor's portion of any necessary or appropriate
     application for the approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion
     of the assets (including any Governmental Approval) of such Obligor.
     Because each Obligor agrees that the Administrative Agent's remedy at law
     for failure of such Obligor to comply with the provisions of this
     subsection would be inadequate and that such failure would not be
     adequately compensable in damages, such


                                       13



     Obligor agrees that the covenants contained in this subsection may be
     specifically enforced, and such Obligor hereby waives and agrees not to
     assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
     covenants.

          (p) Insurance. Insure, repair and replace all material Collateral of
     such Obligor as set forth in the Credit Agreement. All proceeds derived
     from insurance on the Collateral shall be subject to the security interest
     of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

          (q) Covenants Relating to the Assigned Agreements.

               (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Obligor
          shall, at its expense (except where such document relates to the
          day-to-day business of an Obligor and such document is made available
          to the Administrative Agent for inspection), (A) furnish to the
          Administrative Agent copies of all notices, requests and other
          documents received by such Obligor under or pursuant to the Assigned
          Agreements, and such other information and reports regarding the
          Assigned Agreements and (B) make to any other party to any Assigned
          Agreement such demands and requests for information and reports or for
          action as an Obligor is entitled to make thereunder.

               (ii) Unless the applicable Obligor believes it is necessary in
          the prudent conduct of its business, no Obligor shall (A) cancel or
          terminate any Assigned Agreement of such Obligor or consent to or
          accept any cancellation or termination thereof; (B) amend or otherwise
          modify any Assigned Agreement of such Obligor or give any consent,
          waiver or approval thereunder; (C) waive any default under or breach
          of any Assigned Agreement of such Obligor; or (D) take any other
          action in connection with any Assigned Agreement of such Obligor which
          would impair the value of the interest or rights of such Obligor
          thereunder or which would impair the interests or rights of the
          Administrative Agent.

          (r) Material Contracts. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
     with respect to any Material Contract, each Obligor will (i) execute and
     deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent
     a collateral assignment of such Material Contract and its consent to such
     collateral assignment, in each case in a form acceptable to the
     Administrative Agent, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
     other parties to such Material Contract to execute such consent and (iii)
     do any act or execute any additional documents reasonably required by the
     Administrative Agent to ensure to the Administrative Agent the
     effectiveness and first priority of its security interest in such Material
     Contract.

     6. License of Intellectual Property. The Obligors hereby assign, transfer
and convey to the Administrative Agent, effective upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, the nonexclusive right and license to
use all Intellectual Property owned or used by any Obligor that relate to the
Collateral and any other collateral granted by the Obligors as security for the
Secured Obligations, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the
extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to use, possess and realize
on the


                                       14



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 the Administrative Agent 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 that any monetary payment
whatsoever be made to the Obligors.

     7. Special Provisions Regarding Inventory. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Security Agreement, each Obligor may, unless and
until an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent
instructs such Obligor otherwise, without further consent or approval of the
Administrative Agent, use, consume, sell, lease and exchange its Inventory in
the ordinary course of its business as presently conducted (and as will be
conducted after giving effect to the Acquisition), whereupon, in the case of
such a sale or exchange, the security interest created hereby in the Inventory
so sold or exchanged (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or
exchange) shall cease immediately without any further action on the part of the
Administrative Agent.

     8. Performance of Obligations; Advances by Administrative Agent. On failure
of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein,
the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
perform or cause to be performed the same and in so doing may expend such sums
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance
thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums,
the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential
Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other
expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the
security interest hereof or may be compelled to make by operation of law. All
such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint
and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall
constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date
said amounts are expended at the ABR Default Rate. No such performance of any
material covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any
Obligor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors
of any default under the terms of this Security Agreement, the other Credit
Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement. The Administrative Agent may make
any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be
discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate
or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or
claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by an
Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being
maintained in accordance with GAAP.

     9. Events of Default.

     The occurrence of an event which under the Credit Agreement would
constitute an Event of Default shall be an event of default hereunder (an "Event
of Default").


                                       15



     10. Remedies.

          (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
     during continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
     have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Credit
     Documents, in any Secured Hedging Agreement or by law (including, but not
     limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set
     forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected
     Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC
     (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the
     rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies
     to the affected Collateral), and further, the Administrative Agent may,
     with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i)
     enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and,
     without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the
     Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii)
     require the Obligors to assemble and make available to the Administrative
     Agent at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time
     designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to
     both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the
     purpose of effecting the sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v)
     without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of
     law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest extent
     permitted by law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or
     all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, by one or more
     contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at
     such prices and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent deems
     advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal
     requirements). Neither the Administrative Agent's compliance with any
     applicable state or federal law in the conduct of such sale, nor its
     disclaimer of any warranties relating to the Collateral, shall be
     considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale.
     In addition to all other sums due the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
     with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall pay the
     Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders all reasonable documented
     costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such Lender,
     including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs,
     in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of the
     Secured Obligations, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or
     proceeding by or against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the
     Obligors concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this
     Security Agreement, any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including,
     without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or
     related to a case under the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent the rights of
     notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any
     requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally
     served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower in accordance with
     the notice provisions of Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement at least ten
     (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the
     requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
     not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
     regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by law, any
     Lender may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by
     applicable law, each of the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of


                                       16



     redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of
     applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may postpone or
     cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral
     by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may,
     without further notice, to the extent permitted by law, be made at the time
     and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent and
     the Lenders may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such
     time and place.

          (b) Remedies Relating to Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
     Default and during the continuation thereof, whether or not the
     Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies
     hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any
     Obligor's rights against any account debtors and obligors on such Obligor's
     Accounts. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its
     Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance
     with the provisions of this Section shall be solely for the Administrative
     Agent's own convenience and that such Obligor shall not have any right,
     title or interest in such Proceeds or in any such other amounts except as
     expressly provided herein. After the occurrence and during the continuance
     of an Event of Default, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent,
     each Obligor agrees to execute any document or instrument, and to take any
     action, necessary under applicable law (including the Federal Assignment of
     Claims Act) in order for the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights
     and remedies (or be able to exercise its rights and remedies at some future
     date) with respect to any Accounts of such Obligor where the account debtor
     is a Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
     have no liability or responsibility to any Obligor for acceptance of a
     check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend
     "payment in full" or words of similar import or any other restrictive
     legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of
     any remittance. Each Obligor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative
     Agent and the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees,
     partners, members, counsel, agents, representatives, advisors and
     affiliates from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions,
     claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys' fees
     suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (each, an
     "Indemnified Party") because of the maintenance of the foregoing
     arrangements except as relating to or arising out of the gross negligence
     or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or
     agents. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding,
     the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
     investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by an Obligor, its
     directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other
     Person or any other Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.

          (c) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the
     occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the
     Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the
     various premises of the Obligors without cost or charge to the
     Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies,
     books and records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and
     liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the
     sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In
     addition, the Administrative


                                       17



     Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or
     any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or
     liquidate such Collateral. If the Administrative Agent exercises its right
     to take possession of the Collateral, each Obligor shall also at its
     expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the
     Administrative Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby
     granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating
     the security interest of the Administrative Agent, appointing overseers for
     the Collateral and maintaining inventory records.

          (d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative
     Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right, remedy or option under this
     Security Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Hedging
     Agreement or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent
     or the Lenders in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any
     such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless
     it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to
     be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the
     case of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall only be granted as
     provided herein. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Administrative
     Agent, the Lenders, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative
     Agent or the Lenders, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions
     or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their
     gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies
     of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Security Agreement
     shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which
     the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have.

          (e) Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies
     hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
     continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the
     notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC (or any successor
     sections of the UCC) or otherwise complying with the notice requirements of
     applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any
     portion of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
     Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices,
     however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any
     Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

          (f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection
     or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
     Administrative Agent or the Lenders are legally entitled, the Obligors
     shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with
     interest thereon at the ABR Default Rate, together with the costs of
     collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the
     Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining
     after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be
     returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction
     shall determine to be entitled thereto.

          (g) Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations
     are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral
     (including, without limitation,


                                       18



     real and other personal property and securities owned by an Obligor), or by
     a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the
     Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other
     property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the
     continuation of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall
     have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights,
     security, Liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent
     shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with
     respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or
     any of the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' rights or the Secured
     Obligations under this Security Agreement, under any other of the Credit
     Documents or under any Secured Hedging Agreement.

     11. Rights of the Administrative Agent.

          (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney
     contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the
     Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, and each of its designees
     or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power
     of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions
     upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

               (i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and give
          discharges and releases concerning the Collateral of such Obligor, all
          as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine in respect of
          such Collateral;

               (ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the
          purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in
          respect thereof;

               (iii) to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or
          proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral and, in connection
          therewith, give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent
          may deem reasonably appropriate;

               (iv) to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor
          and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of
          lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents
          evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to
          the Collateral of such Obligor, or securing or relating to such
          Collateral, on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor;

               (v) to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of,
          or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any
          Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as
          fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the
          absolute owner thereof for all purposes;


                                       19



               (vi) to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy
          relating to the Collateral;

               (vii) to execute and deliver and/or file all assignments,
          conveyances, statements, financing statements, continuation financing
          statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other
          agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent
          may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security
          interests and Liens granted in this Security Agreement and in order to
          fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein;

               (viii) to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the
          Administrative Agent may deem appropriate;

               (ix) to execute any document or instrument, and to take any
          action, necessary under applicable law (including the Federal
          Assignment of Claims Act) in order for the Administrative Agent to
          exercise its rights and remedies (or to be able to exercise its rights
          and remedies at some future date) with respect to any Account of an
          Obligor where the account debtor is a Governmental Authority; and

               (x) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the
          Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or
          convenient in connection with the Collateral.

     This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
     irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations (other than
     contingent indemnity obligations that survive termination of the Credit
     Documents pursuant to the stated terms thereof) remain outstanding, any
     Credit Document or Secured Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of
     the Commitments shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall
     be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights,
     powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the
     Administrative Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable
     for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent
     shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or
     any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as
     attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross
     negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on
     the Administrative Agent solely to perfect, protect, preserve and realize
     upon its security interest in the Collateral appointed pursuant to the
     terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

          (b) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
     may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof
     and/or the Collateral or any portion thereof to a successor Administrative
     Agent, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies
     of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement in relation
     thereto.


                                       20



          (c) The Administrative Agent's Duty of Care. Other than the exercise
     of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being
     held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall
     have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being
     understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for
     preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent
     shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon
     surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The
     Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
     the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
     Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
     Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than
     the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry,
     it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have
     responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against
     any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public
     or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the
     Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up, repair or
     otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

     12. Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Credit
Agreement (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans
(with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents
(including without limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities
under Letters of Credit) shall automatically become due and payable in
accordance with the terms of such Section), any proceeds of the Collateral, when
received by the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or any Hedging
Agreement Provider in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of
the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 2.11(b) of the Credit
Agreement, and each Obligor irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and
reapply any and all such proceeds in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion,
notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

     13. Costs of Counsel. If at any time hereafter, whether upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or not, the Administrative Agent employs counsel to
prepare or consider amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this
Security Agreement, or to take action or make a response in or with respect to
any legal or arbitral proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or relating
to the Collateral, or to protect the Collateral or exercise any rights or
remedies under this Security Agreement or with respect to the Collateral, then
the Obligors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all such reasonable
documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, all of which costs
and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder.

     14. Continuing Agreement.

          (a) This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every
     respect and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the
     Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that
     survive termination of the Credit Documents pursuant to the stated terms
     thereof) remain outstanding, any Credit Document or


                                       21



     Secured Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of the Commitments
     shall have been terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this
     Security Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative
     Agent and the Lenders shall, upon the request and at the expense of the
     Obligors, forthwith release all of the Liens and security interests granted
     hereunder and shall execute and/or deliver all UCC termination statements
     and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such
     termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing all releases and indemnities
     provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.

          (b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
     automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in
     whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
     otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
     as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy,
     insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made;
     provided that in the event that payment of all or any part of the Secured
     Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable
     costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees
     and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
     defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included
     as a part of the Secured Obligations.

     15. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications. This Security Agreement and the
provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or
terminated except as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

     16. Successors in Interest. This Security Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each
Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, to the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and
permitted assigns; provided, however, that none of the Obligors may assign its
rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender or the Required Lenders, as required by the Credit Agreement. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, each Obligor hereby releases the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, each of their respective officers, employees and agents
and each of their respective successors and assigns, from any liability for any
act or omission relating to this Security Agreement or the Collateral, except
for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender or their respective officers, employees and
agents, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     17. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Security Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement.

     18. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It
shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or
account for more than one such counterpart. Delivery of executed counterparts of
the Security Agreement by telecopy or other electronic means shall be


                                       22



effective as an original and shall constitute a representation that an original
shall be delivered upon the request of the Administrative Agent.

     19. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are
provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning,
construction or interpretation of any provision of this Security Agreement.

     20. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction and Service of Process;
Waiver of Jury Trial; Venue. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING
SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). The terms
of Sections 9.14 and 9.17 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

     21. Severability. If any provision of this Security Agreement is determined
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable
and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions.

     22. Entirety. This Security Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the
Secured Hedging Agreements represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto
and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to
this Security Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Secured Hedging
Agreements or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

     23. Survival. All representations and warranties of the Obligors hereunder
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the other
Credit Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements, the delivery of the Notes
and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement.

     24. Joint and Several Obligations of Obligors.

          (a) Each of the Obligors is accepting joint and several liability
     hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided
     by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly
     and indirectly, of each of the Obligors and in consideration of the
     undertakings of each of the Obligors to accept joint and several liability
     for the obligations of each of them.

          (b) Each of the Obligors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
     unconditionally accepts joint and several liability with the other Obligors
     with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Secured
     Obligations arising under this Security Agreement, the other Credit
     Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements, it being the intention of the
     parties hereto that all the Secured Obligations shall be the joint and


                                       23



     several obligations of each of the Obligors without preferences or
     distinction among them.

          (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in
     any other of the Credit Documents or in any Secured Hedging Agreement, to
     the extent the obligations of an Obligor shall be adjudicated to be invalid
     or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of
     any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or
     transfers) then the obligations of such Obligor hereunder shall be limited
     to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether
     federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

     25. Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Administrative Agent
hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the
Required Lenders.

                  [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]


                                       24



     Each of the parties hereto has caused a counterpart of this Security
Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
