Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in- fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in Lender's discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives Lender the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, to do the following: (i) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any License and, in the name of Borrower or its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any License and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any License whenever payable; (ii) To pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and (iii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Licenses to make payment of any and all moneys due and to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (D) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (E) to settle, compromise, or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (F) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender's option all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender's security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower further agrees to execute any additional documents which Lender may require in order to confirm this power of attorney, or which Lender may deem necessary to enforce any of its rights contained in this Security Agreement. (b) The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. (c) Borrower also authorizes Lender to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in paragraph 10(b) of this Security Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral. 8. Execution of Power of Attorney. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Borrower is executing and delivering to Lender, in the form of Schedule II hereto, ten (10) originals of a Power of Attorney for the implementation of the assignment, sale or other disposal of the Trademarks pursuant to paragraph 7 hereof. 9. Performance by Lender of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Lender, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby. 10. Remedies, Rights Upon Event of Default. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing: (i) All payments received by Borrower under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower and shall forthwith upon receipt by Borrower, be turned over to Lender, in the same form as received by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required); and (ii) Any and all such payments so received by Lender (whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by Lender against all or any part of the Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such payments held by Lender and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. (b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled. Borrower shall also be liable for the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect any such deficiency and also as to any reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Lender with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any of Lender's respective rights hereunder. 11. Termination. At such time as Borrower shall completely pay in full all of the Obligations and the Factoring Agreement is terminated, this Security Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower all such releases, deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to re-vest in Borrower full title to the Trademarks, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by Lender pursuant hereto. 12.

No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Factoring Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 14. Cumulative Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Factoring Agreement, or by any other agreements or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. 15. Severability.
