-----------------
the Revolving Credit Agreement shall constitute an event of default
("Event of
--------

- -------
9. Rights and Remedies.
-------------------
9.1 During the continuance of an Event of Default,
Lender,
without notice or demand, may do any one or more of the following, all
of which
are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly
with
Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Lender considers
advisable, and
in such cases, Lender will credit the Secured Obligations with only the
net
amounts received by Lender in payment of such disputed Accounts after
deducting
all Lender Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;
(b) Cause Borrower to hold all returned Inventory in
trust
for Lender, segregate all returned Inventory from all other property of
Borrower
or in Borrower's possession and conspicuously label said returned
Inventory as
the property of Lender;
(c) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any
guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers
necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Borrower
agrees
to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the
Collateral
available to Lender as Lender may designate. Borrower authorizes Lender
to enter
the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain
possession of
the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or
compromise
any encumbrance, charge, or Lien that in Lender's determination appears
to
conflict with its security interests and to pay all expenses incurred in
connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower's owned or leased
premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into
possession of
such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to 120 days
in
order to exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies provided herein, at
law, in
equity, or otherwise;
(d) Without notice to Borrower (such notice being
expressly
waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in
satisfaction
of an obligation (within the meaning of Section 9505 of the Code), set
off and
apply to the Secured Obligations any and all (i) balances and Deposit
Accounts
of Borrower held by Lender, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or
for the
credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;
13
(e) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances
and
Deposit Accounts of Borrower held by Lender, to secure the full and
final
repayment of all of the Secured Obligations;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided
for
herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other
right to
use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of
use of
any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and
advertising
matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the
Collateral,
in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any
Collateral
and Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements
shall
inure to Lender's benefit;
(g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or
private sale,
or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
terms,
in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as
Lender
determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the
Collateral
be present at any such sale;
(h) Lender shall give notice of the disposition of
the
Collateral as follows:
(i) Lender shall give Borrower and each
holder of a
security interest in the Collateral who has filed with Lender a written
request
for notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale,
or, if the
sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public
sale is to
be made of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private
sale or
other disposition is to be made;
(ii) The notice shall be personally delivered
or
mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 9.1 of the
Revolving
-----------
Credit Agreement, at least 5 days before the date fixed for the sale, or
at
least 5 days before the date on or after which the private sale or other
disposition is to be made; no notice needs to be given prior to the
disposition
of any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to
decline
speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market.
Notice to Persons other than Borrower claiming an interest in the
Collateral
shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished to Lender;
(iii) If the sale is to be a public sale,
Lender also
shall give notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time
at least
5 days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation
in the
county in which the sale is to be held;
(i) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public
sale;
and
(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of
the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. Any
excess
will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third
Persons,
by Lender to Borrower.
9.2 Upon the exercise by Lender of any power, right,
privilege,
or remedy pursuant to this Security Agreement which requires any
consent,
approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any
Governmental
Authority, Borrower agrees to execute and
14
deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications,
certificates, instruments, assignments, and other documents and papers
that
Lender or any purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain for
such
governmental consent, approval, registration, qualification, or
authorization.
9.3 Borrower hereby irrevocably stipulates and agrees
that Lender
has the right under this Security Agreement, upon the occurrence of an
Event of
Default, to seek the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or similar
official
over Borrower to effect the transactions contemplated by this Security
Agreement, including without limitation, to seek from the appropriate
licensing
authority an involuntary transfer of the Licenses in connection with
Lender's
foreclosure or enforcement proceedings, and that Lender is entitled to
seek such
relief. Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to object to such
appointment on
any grounds.
9.4 The rights and remedies of Lender under this Security
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and
all
other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby shall be cumulative.
Lender
shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as
provided
under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of any one
right or
remedy shall be deemed an election of remedies, and no waiver by Lender
of any
default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver of any
further
defaults. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election or
acquiescence
with respect to any right or remedy.
9.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the
contrary, Lender will not be entitled in the Event of Default to take
possession
of, foreclose upon, transfer, dispose of or otherwise assert any rights
with
respect to any of the following types of the Collateral unless Borrower
is also
at that time insolvent, as that term is defined under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code:
(a) Equipment
(b) Inventory
(c) Investment Property
(d) Intellectual Property - Collateral
(e) General Intangibles (excluding contracts and
contract
rights, deposit accounts, uncertificated certificates of deposit,
purchase
orders, and other contractual rights relating to these excluded items)
15
10. Lender Not Liable. So long as Lender complies with
the
-----------------
obligations, if any, imposed by Section 9207 of the Code, Lender shall
not
otherwise be liable or responsible in any way or manner for: (a) the
safekeeping
of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising
in any
manner or fashion or from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value
thereof; or
(d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding
agency,
or other person whomsoever.
11. Indefeasible Payment. The Secured Obligations shall
not be
--------------------
considered indefeasibly paid for purposes of this Security Agreement
unless and
until all payments to Lender are no longer subject to any right on the
part of
any Person, including Borrower, Borrower as a debtor in possession, or
any
trustee (whether appointed under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) of
Borrower
or Borrower's Assets to invalidate or set aside such payments or to seek
to
recoup the amount of such payments or any portion thereof, or to declare
same to
be fraudulent or preferential. In the event that, for any reason, any
portion of
such payments to Lender is set aside or restored, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, after the making thereof, then the obligation intended to
be
satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if
said payment or payments had not been made.
12. Notices. All notices or demands by any party hereto
to the
-------
other party and relating to this Security Agreement shall be made in the
manner
and to the addresses set forth in Section 9.1 of the Revolving Credit
Agreement.

and effect and shall be construed in the broadest possible manner to
effectuate
