APPOINTMENT OF SECURED PARTY. So long as any Obligation remains unpaid or Lenders (or any of them) have any commitment to lend under the Loan Agreement, each Debtor does hereby designate and appoint Secured Party its true and lawful attorney with power irrevocable, for it and in its name, place and stead, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to ask, demand, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all amounts which may be or become due or payable to any Debtor with respect to the Collateral, and in Secured Party's sole discretion to file any claim or take any action or proceeding, or either, in its own name or in the name of such Debtor, or otherwise, which Secured Party deems necessary or desirable in order to collect or enforce payment of any and all amounts which may become due or owing with respect to the Collateral. The acceptance of this appointment by Secured Party shall 4 5 not obligate it to perform any duty, covenant or obligation required to be performed by any Debtor under or by virtue of the Collateral or to take any action in connection therewith. Secured Party may also execute, on behalf of any Debtor, any financing statements or other instruments which in its opinion may be necessary or desirable to perfect or protect its position with respect to the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party is authorized at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to exercise any right of any Debtor, or enforce any obligation owed to any Debtor pursuant to the terms of any agreements to which such Debtor is a party or in which it has any beneficial interest. Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, perform any obligation of any Debtor under any of such Debtor's contracts or in respect of any of such Debtor's accounts, and any expenses incurred in such performance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal from time to time to the Prime Rate plus 2% (the "Default Rate") from the date incurred until repaid by Debtors. Any such amounts shall be secured hereby and shall be repaid by Debtors on demand. 8. TAXES. Debtors will pay before delinquency any Taxes which are or may become through assessment or distraint or otherwise a lien or charge on the Collateral and will pay any Tax which may be levied on any Obligation secured hereby, except any Tax whose validity or amount is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings upon stay of execution of the enforcement thereof and with provision having been made to the satisfaction of Secured Party for the payment thereof in the event the contest is determined adversely to any Debtor. 9. DEBTOR'S PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF RECORDS AND COLLATERAL. Each Debtor represents that the address set forth below its signature to this Agreement is and will remain its principal place of business and the location of its chief executive offices and the address at which it will keep its records concerning the Collateral. Each Debtor represents and covenants that it has not done within the preceding five (5) years and that after the date hereof it will not do, business under any name other than the names specified in Schedule 1 attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein; provided that any Debtor may, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Secured Party, designate one or more additional names under which it will do business. From time to time, promptly upon request, Debtors will advise Secured Party of each location where any Inventory or other tangible Collateral is located. Each Debtor represents and covenants that Schedule 2 attached hereto hereto and by this reference incorporated herein sets forth the locations where Inventory is and will be kept in each state where Inventory with an aggregate value of $250,000 or more is or will be located. No Debtor will move the location of its chief executive offices nor move its records concerning the Collateral unless such Debtor shall have given Secured Party prior written notice of such move and unless such Debtor shall have first executed all documents, agreements and instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and shall take all such other actions as Secured Party may reasonably request or shall be necessary to ensure that Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral continues at all times to be perfected as a Lien of first priority (subject only to Liens expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement) enforceable against all third parties in all jurisdictions as security for full and timely performance of the Obligations. If Inventory with an aggregate value of $250,000 is at any time kept in a state or jurisdiction not set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto, Debtors shall give Secured Party prompt written notice thereof and shall execute all documents, agreements and instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and shall take all such other actions as Secured Party may reasonably request or shall be necessary to ensure that Secured Party's security interest in the Inventory is perfected as a 5 6 Lien of first priority (subject only to Liens expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement) in such jurisdiction, enforceable against all third parties as security for full and timely performance of the Obligations. 10. BOOKS AND RECORDS; INSPECTION. Debtors agree to maintain full and accurate books of account prepared and maintained in accordance with GAAP, to the extent applicable, covering the Collateral and to deliver, upon request, to Secured Party such of the books and records as relate to the Collateral including, without limitation, all of the invoices, shipping documents, contracts, orders, order acknowledgments, correspondence and other instruments, electronically stored materials and papers in any Debtor's possession relating to the Collateral.

COLLECTIONS OF ACCOUNTS, ETC.

Until receipt of such notice, Debtors agree to collect the payments upon or from said Collateral, at Debtors' expense, with due diligence. Upon notification by Secured Party to any Debtor after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to cease collecting upon said Collateral, Secured Party will proceed to collect said Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and may deduct from the proceeds its reasonable expenses of collection. Secured Party is authorized to receive in full satisfaction of any obligor's obligation to any Debtor a commercially reasonable sum less than the face amount thereof. Debtors agree that if any sums are received by it in respect to the Collateral after such notification by Secured Party, such sums shall be received in trust by Debtors and immediately shall be paid over by Debtors to Secured Party. Debtors agree to hold Secured Party harmless from any claim, loss or damage caused by any failure to collect any obligation or to enforce any contract or by any act or omission on the part of Secured Party, its agents and employees, relating to the Collateral except for Secured Party's willful misconduct or gross negligence. The covenant set forth in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 12. INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL; INSURANCE.

Secured Party shall be named as a loss payee on all such policies, and all such policies shall provide that they are not cancelable without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Secured Party. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the term of any insurance policy, Debtors shall furnish Secured Party with written evidence of renewal or issuance of a satisfactory replacement policy. Debtors shall, if requested by Secured Party, 6 7 obtain and deliver to Secured Party, from time to time, satisfactory original or duplicate policies or certificates of insurance, including any endorsements, to evidence Debtors' satisfaction of the insurance requirements hereunder. In the event of loss or damage with respect to any or all of the tangible Collateral, Secured Party shall have the right to collect any and all insurance upon the tangible Collateral and to apply the same at its option to any of the Obligations, whether or not matured, or to the restoration or repair of any or all of the tangible Collateral. 13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

Such amounts shall be repayable by Debtors on demand and Debtors' obligation to make such repayment shall constitute an additional Obligation secured hereby. 16. GENERAL REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall occur, Secured Party shall have all remedies provided by law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the remedies provided in any other section hereof or in any other Security Document, shall have the following remedies: (a) The remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code; and (b) The right to make notification and pursue collection or, at Secured Party's option, to sell all or part of the Collateral and make application of all proceeds or sums due on the Collateral in accordance with the Loan Agreement; and (c) The right to enter any premises where any of the Collateral is situated and take possession of such Collateral without notice or demand and without legal proceedings; and (d) The right to exercise and enforce all of any Debtor's rights under any contracts or any other agreement to which any Debtor is a party or of which any Debtor is a beneficiary; and (e) All other remedies which may be available in law or equity.

Debtors agree to pay any deficiency remaining after collection or realization by Secured Party on the Collateral. 17. SECURITIES REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall occur and if Secured Party shall elect to exercise its right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral constituting securities, Debtors recognize that Secured Party may be unable or may deem it unadvisable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the securities and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Debtors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Secured Party than those of public sales, and agree that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay sale of any securities to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended from time to time.

The covenants set forth in this Section 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 20. SOLVENCY. Each Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party and Lenders that such Debtor is Solvent and shall be Solvent immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As used herein, a Debtor is "Solvent" on a particular date, if, on such date both (i) (a) the then fair saleable value of the property of such Debtor on a going concern basis is (1) greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such Debtor as they mature in the ordinary course and (2) not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probably liabilities on such Debtor's then-existing debts as they become absolute and matured considering all financing alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to such Debtor; (b) such Debtor's capital is not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction; and (c) such Debtor does not intend to incur, or believe) nor should it reasonably believe) that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due; and (ii) such Debtor is "solvent" within the meaning given that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances.

DEBTOR'S CONSENT. Each Debtor hereby consents to all terms and condition of agreements heretofore or hereafter made between Secured Party or Lenders (or any of them) and Borrower or Debtors (or any of them) (including without limitation the Loan Agreement and related documents) and further consents that Secured Party and Lenders (or any of them) may without further consent or disclosure and without affecting or releasing the obligations of any Debtor hereunder: (a) surrender, exchange, release, assign, or sell any collateral (including the Collateral) or waive, release, assign, sell, or subordinate any security interest, in whole or in part; (b) waive or delay the exercise of any rights or remedies of Secured Party or Lenders (or any of them) against Borrower; (c) waive or delay the exercise of any rights or remedies of Secured Party or Lenders (or any of them) against any surety or guarantor (including, without limitation, rights or remedies of Secured Party or Lenders (or any of them) against Debtors (or any of them) under this Agreement); (d) waive or delay the exercise of any rights or remedies of Secured Party or Lenders (or any of them) in respect of any collateral (including the Collateral) or security interest now or hereafter held; (e) release any surety or guarantor (including any Debtor); (f) renew, extend, waive or modify the terms of any Obligation or the obligations of any surety or guarantor (including any Debtor), or any instrument or agreement evidencing the same; (g) renew, extend, waive or modify the terms of any deed of trust, mortgage, pledge, assignment, security agreement or other security document (h) apply payments received from Borrower or any surety or guarantor (including any Debtor) or from any collateral (including the Collateral), to 9 10 any indebtedness, liability, or obligations of Borrower or such sureties or guarantors whether or not an Obligation hereunder; and (i) realize on any security interest, judicially or nonjudicially, with or without preservation of a deficiency judgment. 22.

LIMITATIONS ON DEBTOR'S RIGHTS. Debtors hereby agree that no Debtor will exercise any rights of subrogation which any Debtor may acquire by payment or performance of the Obligations until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and Lenders (or any of them) shall have no further commitment to make loans or otherwise extend credit to Borrower. In the event that any Debtor shall receive any payment on account of such rights of subrogation while any Obligations remain outstanding or while Lenders (or any of them) remain committed to make loans or otherwise extend credit to Borrower, such Debtor agrees to pay such amounts so received to Secured Party for the ratable benefit of Lenders for immediate application to the outstanding Obligations or, in Secured Party's sole discretion, to be held as cash collateral to 10 11 secure repayment of the Obligations. 25.
