The amount of any principal prepayment of the Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Loans in inverse order of maturity. 2.6 Prepayment Penalty. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty except for any prepayment fee that may be due under the following sentence.

(c) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Commitment, the Borrower will immediately prepay or repay the Loans in an amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal amount of the Loans not to exceed the Commitment. - -13- |

(e) Any prepayment or repayment of COF Loans on any date other than the regularly scheduled payments of principal thereof on the scheduled dates due hereunder or on the Maturity Date shall also be accompanied by a fee equal to the "Yield Maintenance Fee" in an amount computed as follows: The current cost of funds, specifically the bond equivalent yield for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent yield) with a maturity date closest to the remaining term of such COF Loans, shall be subtracted from the COF Rate, or default rate if applicable. If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no Yield Maintenance Fee due and payable. If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the scheduled outstanding principal balance for each remaining monthly period of this note. Each resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days in the monthly period. Said amounts shall be reduced to present values calculated by using the above reference current costs of funds divided by 12 and the COF Loan's remaining term in months. The resulting sum of present values shall be the yield maintenance fee due to the Lender upon prepayment of the principal of the COF Loans plus any accrued interest due as of the prepayment date. Unless the Lender expressly agrees otherwise, partial payments will not affect the payment schedule required hereunder. 2.8 Interest Rates and Payment Dates; Payments.

(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all outstanding Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable to the Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 5.00% during the continuance of such Event of Default (both before and after judgment). (c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. (d) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge, on each date on which any amount is due hereunder, the Borrower's Operating Account or any other deposit accounts from time to time maintained by the Borrower with the Lender for the purpose of effecting payments of amounts due to the Lender hereunder. 2.9 Computation of Interest and Fees. - -14- |
(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. 2.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority: (i) shall subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes covered by Section 2.11 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender); (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender; or (iii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, fee Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. (b) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or such corporation for such reduction. (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligation of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.11 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, - -15- |
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes that are imposed on the Lender's overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state under the laws of which the Lender is organized (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the other Loan Documents being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower has made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes"). (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11, imposed on or paid by the Lender and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor. (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. (e) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender for, and to hold the Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If the Lender elects to declare the Loans to be immediately due and payable, then any amounts payable under this Section 2.12 shall become due and payable in the same manner as though the Borrower had exercised such right of prepayment. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. SECTION 3.

The Borrower will from time to time, at its expense, upon the Lender's request, promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and take all such further action, as may be necessary or that the Lender may reasonably request in order to perfect and/or protect the security interests granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable the Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, including, without limitation: furnishing copies of customer invoices and original shipping documents; marking or otherwise -3-
identifying Equipment; furnishing the originals of all bills of Jading, trust receipts and warehousemen's receipts, with such endorsements as may be required by the Lender; stamping chattel paper to reflect the Lender's security interest or delivering same to the Lender; taking such actions as the Lender may reasonably require to obtain possession or control of any Collateral to the extent necessary to perfect Lender's security interest; and filing financing statements. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto relating to Collateral without the signature of the Borrower. The Borrower will use its best efforts to provide landlord's waivers reasonably satisfactory to the Lender with respect to any premises not owned by the Borrower where any material amount of Collateral may be located. With respect to such contracts and contract rights as are by their terms non-assignable, the Borrower agrees: (i) to hold same in trust for the benefit of the Lender, to the extent such terms are valid and effective, (ii) at any time or from time to time (if the Lender shall so request) to use its reasonable efforts to seek the approval of the other parties to the relevant contracts so that assignment to the Lender will be permitted and (iii) at the request of the Lender, to assign to the Lender all rights in and to said contracts and contract rights to the maximum extent that same may from time to time be assignable. (c) Information. The Borrower shall maintain complete and accurate records of all of its Collateral and its dealings with respect thereto. Upon reasonable notice from time to time (and. at any time and without notice after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), the Borrower shall permit the Lender and its employees, representatives and agents access to the Premises and the Lender shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and make copies of such books and records. The Borrower shall from time to time furnish to the Lender such information concerning the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, and will promptly notify the Lender if any representation or warranty of the Borrower in Section 3 hereof becomes inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will upon the Lender's request, with reasonable promptness, provide the Lender with a written listing of all Collateral, and will provide the Lender with such a listing immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. (d) Insurance. (i) Property Insurance. The Borrower shall keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against theft and fraud and against loss or damage by fire, explosion and hazards insured against by extended coverage to the extent, in amounts and with deductibles at least as favorable as those generally maintained by businesses of similar size engaged in similar activities. (ii) Liability Insurance. The Borrower shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance against liability for hazards, risks and liability to persons and property, to the extent, in amounts and with deductibles at least as favorable as those generally maintained by businesses of similar size engaged in similar activities and at least in the amounts set forth in the certificates of insurance delivered to Lender. (iii) All such insurance shall (A) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the Lender of written notice thereof, (B) name the Lender as insured party or loss payee pursuant to a loss payable endorsement issued in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory to, the Lender, and (C) be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Lender. -4-
(e) Receivables. The Borrower shall notify the Lender promptly of all material returns and recoveries of merchandise and claims. The Borrower shall not without prior written notice to the Lender settle or adjust any dispute or claim which (together with all other such settlements or adjustments relating to the Receivables of the Borrower) would exceed $10,000 in the aggregate per fiscal quarter of the Borrower, nor shall the Borrower grant any discount, credit or allowance except in the ordinary course of the Borrower's business nor accept any return of merchandise except in the ordinary course of the Borrower's business without the Lender's consent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender may settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with customers or account debtors for amounts and upon terms which it considers reasonably advisable; in all such cases, the Borrower will be credited only with amounts actually received by the Lender; and where the Borrower receives collateral of any kind by reason of transactions between itself and its customers or account debtors, it will hold the same on the Lender's behalf, subject to the Lender's instructions, and as properly forming part of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender or its designee may at any time notify the Borrower's customers or account debtors of the Lender's security interest in Receivables, collect the same directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Borrower; whenever the Lender deems it desirable that any legal or other action be instituted in order to collect any Receivable, the Lender may at its option reassign any such Receivable to the Borrower (and any such reassignment shall be deemed to be without recourse to the Lender in any event) and require the Borrower to proceed with such legal or other action at the Borrower's sole liability, cost and expense, in which event all amounts collected by the Borrower on such Receivable shall nevertheless be subject to this Security Agreement; and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a reasonable collection charge on all Receivables collected by the Lender under this Security Agreement. If the Lender elects that the Borrower continue to collect the Receivables after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower will collect its Receivables as the Lender's collection agent, hold such collections in trust for the Lender without commingling the same with other funds of the Borrower and, if requested by the Lender, will promptly, on the day of receipt thereof, transmit such collections to the Lender in the identical form in which they were received by the Borrower, with such endorsements as may be appropriate. (f) Title; Sale or Removal of Collateral. The Borrower shall not Create or suffer to exist any Lien in or on any of the Collateral, except the Liens of the Loan Documents and other Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement. Except for Dispositions expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall not, without the Lender's prior written approval, sell, transfer or remove from the Premises or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral. No Collateral will be located at any premises other than as described in Subsection 3(b) above. The Borrower (i) shall maintain books and records relating to Collateral only as described in Subsection 3(b) above, (ii) will not move its chief executive office from the existing location described in Subsection 3(b) above, (iii) will not change its name or identity, and (iv) shall give the Lender 20 days prior written notice of any proposed change in its corporate structure or jurisdiction of incorporation. (g) Maintenance and Use of Equipment. The Borrower will maintain all Equipment in good order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, making all necessary repairs thereto. The Borrower will not suffer any waste or destruction of any Inventory or Equipment, nor use any Equipment in violation of any applicable law or any insurance thereon. The Borrower will promptly restore or replace any Inventory or Equipment damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, and this obligation will not be limited by the availability or sufficiency of insurance proceeds. The Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Lender a statement as to any casualty, loss or damage in excess of $10,000 to any Inventory or Equipment. -5-
(h) Taxes. The Borrower promptly shall pay, as they become due and payable, all taxes, unemployment contributions and all other charges of any kind or nature levied, assessed or claimed against the Borrower or the Collateral by any Person whose claim could result in a Lien upon any of the Collateral, except to the extent such taxes, contributions or other charges are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which operate as a matter of law to stay the enforcement of any such Lien and adequate reserves have been established and are maintained by the Borrower. (i) Intellectual Property Rights. The Borrower agrees that it will not dispose of any of the Intellectual Property Rights or any interest therein or grant a security interest in any of the Intellectual Property Rights (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) or suffer or permit to exist any other encumbrance thereon without, in each instance, the prior written consent of the Lender. The Borrower warrants that the Borrower has unencumbered title to or a license to use the Intellectual Property Rights now being used by it and full right and authority to grant to the Lender its security interests in the Intellectual Property Rights. The Borrower agrees to defend its title to (or license of) the Intellectual Property Rights and to take all steps reasonably necessary to preserve its title to (or license of) the Intellectual Property Rights and ability to use same, including defense of any claims of infringement and action against any infringers, all to the extent that such defense or action against infringers is reasonably necessary in order to maintain the value and use of all material Intellectual Property Rights. If, during the term of this Security Agreement, the Borrower shall obtain rights to any new or additional United States trademark registrations, trademark applications, patents, patent applications or copyrights, the same shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Rights subject to this Security Agreement, and the Borrower agrees to give the Lender prompt written notice thereof, describing and identifying such Intellectual Property Rights in the same manner as on Exhibit A hereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Borrower will assemble and make available to the Lender all books, records and data, whether in written form or electronically recorded, representing any of the Intellectual Property Rights. (j) Deposit Accounts. The Borrower will maintain all deposit accounts with the Lender except for one deposit account for each Unit which accounts shall be used for deposit only (the "Deposit Accounts"). Such Deposit Accounts will be required to be swept on each Business Day of all available cash in excess of $1,000 from the sale of Inventory and any other assets, all collections of Accounts, and all other cash payments received by or for the account of the Borrower (such cash receipts and collections, "Cash Receipts") to a designated account maintained with the Lender. At the Lender's request, the Borrower will execute any agreements to cause all Cash Receipts to be swept to a concentration account with the Lender. After the occurrence of a Default, the Borrower shall cause all Cash Receipts, at the Lender's option, to be deposited directly to a blocked account with the Lender. 5. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as the Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the name, place and stead of the Borrower, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Lender's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation: (i) to obtain and adjust any insurance required pursuant to this Security Agreement and/or the Credit Agreement; (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittances for monies due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; -6-
(iii) to receive, endorse and collect any notes, drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper; (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; (v) to sign the name of the Borrower on invoices or bills of lading, drafts against customers, notices of assignment, verifications and schedules; (vi) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower in respect of any Collateral, to settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate; (vii) to notify the U.S. Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail to an address designated by the Lender and to open and dispose of mail addressed to the Borrower; and, generally, (viii) to do all things necessary to carry out the intent of this Security Agreement. (b) The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 5 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are paid indefeasibly in full. 6. Lender May Perform. If the Borrower fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided under Section 9 hereof, with interest at the rate provided for in Section 2.8(b) of the Credit Agreement. 7. Lender's Duties. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral actually in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral. The Lender shall not be liable for any acts, omissions, errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law including, without limitation, acts, omissions, errors or mistakes with respect to the Collateral, except for those arising out of or in connection with the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Lender 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 Lender accords its own like property, it being understood that the Lender shall be under no obligation to take any necessary steps to collect any Collateral or preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral, but may do so at its option, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of the Borrower and shall be added to the Obligations. 8. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and also may without limitation: (i) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and the upon reasonable request of the Lender, forthwith assemble all or any part of the -7-
Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place or places to be designated by the Lender which is or are reasonably convenient to the respective parties; (ii) itself or through agents, without notice to any Person and without judicial process of any kind, enter the Borrower's Premises (or any other premises or location where any Collateral may be) and take physical possession of any Collateral or disassemble, render unusable and/or repossess any of the same, and the Borrower shall peacefully and quietly yield up and surrender the same; and (iii) without notice except as specified below, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at the Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable. (b) The Lender may maintain possession of Collateral at the Premises or remove the same or any part thereof to such places as the Lender may elect. The Borrower waives all rights which it would otherwise have under any applicable law to prohibit entry to any premises or to require notice of any such action, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, seven (7) days' prior written notice to the Borrower shall constitute reasonable notification. Notice of any public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the Collateral to be sold in general terms, stating the items or amounts thereof and the location and nature thereof, and is published at least once in any newspaper selected by the Lender and of general circulation in the locale of such sale, not less than seven (7) days prior to the sale. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given and may be the purchaser at any such sale, if public, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free from any right of redemption. The Borrower shall be fully liable for any deficiency. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. (c) Any cash held by the Lender as Collateral and all cash or other proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied by the Lender in the following order of priority: First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of any sale or other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Lender in connection therewith or referred to in Section 9 or provided for by the Credit Agreement or arising in connection with any other facilities now or hereafter provided by the Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower; Next, to payment of interest on and principal of the Loans (in such order as may be provided for in the Credit Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Lender); Next, to the payment of any other Obligations (or may be held by the Lender as security for any other such Obligations not yet due and payable); and Finally, after payment in full of all Obligations and termination of all credit facilities and other facilities now or hereafter provided by the Lender to the Borrower, to the payment to the Borrower or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining of such cash. -8-
9. Expenses and Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for and to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, and all costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, experts and agents) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Lender arising out of or in connection with: preparation of this Security Agreement, the documents relating hereto, or amendments, modifications or waivers hereof; taxes (excluding any corporate excise or income taxes payable by the Lender by reason hereof or otherwise) and other governmental charges in connection with this Security Agreement and the Collateral; exercise of the Lender's rights with respect to this Security Agreement and the Collateral; any enforcement, collection or other proceedings resulting therefrom or any negotiations or other measures to preserve the Lender's rights hereunder; the custody or preservation of, or the sale of or other realization upon, any of the Collateral; any failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Security Agreement; any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not the Lender is designated a party thereto) relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement; or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding relating to the Borrower, unless the Lender was at fault with respect to such liability, loss, damage, cost or expense or acted in bad faith with respect thereto. The Borrower's obligations under the preceding sentence shall constitute Obligations and shall survive the termination of this Security Agreement. In no event will the Borrower be liable for any claim to the extent determined, by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to have arisen out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. 10. Termination. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as any Loan and/or any other Obligation remains outstanding, any Commitment shall remain effective and/or any credit facility or other facility remains in effect. Upon the satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of all credit and other facilities now or hereafter provided by the Lender for the Borrower, the Lender shall, at the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower all instruments of assignment or otherwise as may be necessary to establish full title of the Borrower to any of the Collateral, subject to any prior sale or other disposition thereof pursuant to Section 8. Until then, this Security Agreement shall itself constitute conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness and continuing force hereof, and any Person may rely hereon. 11. Waiver; Rights Cumulative. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy on any future occasion. The Lender's rights and remedies hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. The provisions of this Security Agreement are not in derogation or limitation of any obligations, liabilities or duties of the Borrower under any of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement with or for the benefit of the Lender. No inconsistency in default provisions between this Security Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents or any such other agreement will be deemed to create any additional grace period or otherwise derogate from the express terms of each such default provision. No covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower contained herein, nor any right or remedy of the Lender contained herein, shall in any respect be limited by or be deemed in limitation of any inconsistent or additional provisions contained in any of the other Loan Documents or any such other agreement. 12. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Security Agreement or the application thereof to any Person, property or circumstance shall be held to any extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Agreement and the application of such provision to -9-
Persons, properties and circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Security Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 13. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns. 14. Notices. All notices and other communications under or relating to this Security Agreement shall be given and effective in the manner and to the addresses of the parties provided for in the Credit Agreement. 15.

The Grantor shall comply with all of the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement which apply to it by their terms. 5.14 Post Default Actions. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Grantor shall not (x) take any action which would have a Material Adverse Effect, (y) take any action that is prohibited or (z) fail to perform any action required of the Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which the Grantor is a party. -13-
SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Lender shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Lender may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Lender's request and at the expense of the Grantor, the Grantor shall cause a Responsible Officer (or at the election of the Lender during an Event of Default, independent public accountants) to furnish to the Lender reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables. (b) The Lender hereby authorizes the Grantor to collect the Grantor's Receivables, subject to the Lender's direction and control, and the Lender may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Lender at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by the Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by the Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Lender if required, in a deposit account (each, a "Collateral Account") maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Lender as security for the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower Obligations, subject to withdrawal by the Lender in payment of the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower's Obligations only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. (c) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon Lender's request, the Grantor shall deliver to the Lender all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. (d) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent that, because of a conflict with applicable Requirements of Law, the proceeds of any Receivable cannot be applied in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Grantors shall take such actions as may be necessary to deposit such proceeds in a Collateral Account as promptly as possible, subject to compliance with applicable Requirements of Law. 6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantor Remains Liable. (a) The Lender in its own name or in the name of others may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Lender's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts. (b) Upon the request of the Lender, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Lender and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Lender. (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. The Lender shall have no obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving -14-
rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, 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. 6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Lender shall have given notice to the Grantor of the Lender's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), the Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which, in the Lender's reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Lender shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Grantor, (i) the Lender shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments, or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower's Obligations in such order as the Lender may determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Lender or its nominee, and the Lender or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders or other equityholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the Grantor or the Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to the Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. (c) The Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by the Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from or consent of the Grantor, and the Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Lender. 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Lender. In addition to the rights of the Lender specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by the Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalents shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall upon the request of the Lender, forthwith upon receipt by the Grantor, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Lender, if required). All -15-
Proceeds received by the Lender hereunder shall be held by the Lender in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Lender in a Collateral Account (or by the Grantor in trust for the Lender) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Grantor Obligations and Borrower Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5. 6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Grantor and the Lender, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Lender's election, the Lender may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower Obligations in the following order: First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of any sale or other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Lender in connection therewith or provided for by the Credit Agreement or arising in connection with any other facilities now or hereafter provided by the Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower; Next, to payment of interest on and principal of the Loans (in such order as may be provided for in the Credit Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Lender); Next, to the payment of any other Borrower Obligations and Grantor Obligations (or may be held by the Lender as security for any other such Obligations not yet due and payable); and Finally, after payment in full of all Bororwer Obligations and Grantor Obligations and termination of all credit facilities and other facilities now or hereafter provided by the Lender to the Borrower, to the payment to the Borrower or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining of such cash. 6.6 Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Grantor Obligations or the Borrower Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Massachusetts UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below), to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender 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 the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Grantor further agrees, at the Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in -16-
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower Obligations, in accordance with the Loan Documents, and only after such application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least seven (7) days before such sale or other disposition. 6.7 Registration Rights, (a) If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Lender it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Lender, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. The Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer (if such Issuer is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Grantor) to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Lender shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Securities Act. (b) The Grantor recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. (c) The Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. -17-
6.8 Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Grantor Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. SECTION 7. THE LENDER 7.1 Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. etc. (a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the 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 the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own name, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby gives the Lender the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of the following: (i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to, any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may request to evidence the Lender's security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Sections 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) 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 portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Lender shall in its sole discretion determine; (8) vote any claim of the Grantor in any bankruptcy proceeding with respect to any Indebtedness owed to -18-
Grantor by any other Covered Party and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Lender's option and the Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender's security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do. The provisions of clauses (1) through (4) and (9) shall not permit the Lender to take any action with respect to any Receivable, to the extent that such action would contravene applicable Requirements of Law. Anything in this Section 7.1 (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (b) If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Lender, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. (c) The expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of Prime Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement during the continuance of an Event of Default, from the date of payment by the Lender to the date reimbursed by the Grantor, shall be payable by the Grantor to the Lender on demand. (d) The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 7.2 Duty of Lender. The Lender's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The 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 the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to applicable law, the Grantor authorizes the Lender to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Lender determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Lender under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. The Grantor authorizes the Lender to use the collateral description "all assets" or "all personal property" in any such financing statements. The Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Lender of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof -19-

All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Lender or the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Grantor shall be addressed to the Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule A. 8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Lender shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Lender for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against the Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Lender. (b) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (c) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent any Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement. (d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Grantor Obligations, the Borrower Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns; provided that the Grantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender. 8.6 Set-Off. The Grantor hereby grants to the Lender, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Lender, or any entity controlled by, controlling, or -20-
under the control of, the Lender and its successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them. The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without demand or notice to the Grantor or any other guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by the Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, and regardless of the adequacy of any other Collateral securing any Loan, at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Grantor to the Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Lender against the Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Lender may elect, whether or not the Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this Section 8,6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHTS OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY GRANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. The right of setoff set forth in this Section 8.6 shall not apply to any account (a "Restricted Account") maintained solely to comply with applicable Requirements of Law where such application would violate any applicable Requirement of Law. 8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or e-mail image), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 8.10 Integration.

The Grantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; (b) the Lender has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantor, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of guarantor and lender; and (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby between the Grantor and the Lender. 8.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. THE GRANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE THE LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS. -22-

EXHIBIT F FORM OF SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT This Subordination Agreement is made as of May 27, 2005, by and between Low Fat No Fat Gourmet Cafe, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, with a principal place of business at 98B Boston Turnpike Road, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts 01545 (the "Creditor"), and TD BankNorth, N.A., with its principal place of business at 370 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01608 (together with its successors and assigns, the "Lender"). Recitals KFLG Watertown, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the "Borrower"), and the Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of May 27, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement", as the same may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms). The Borrower is the wholly owned subsidiary of Knowfat Franchise Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor" and, together with the Borrower, the "Debtors"). The Guarantor has guaranteed the Borrower's obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined therein) to which the Borrower is a party pursuant to the Guarantor's Guarantee and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof in favor of the Lender (the "Guarantee"). The Guarantor entered into certain Asset Purchase Agreements with the Creditor dated, respectively, August 11, 2004 and January 28, 2005 (the "Asset Purchase Agreements") At the closing under each Asset Purchase Agreement the Borrower, as assignee of Guarantor, acquired the Purchased Assets referred to therein, with the exception of certain assets purchased and retained by Guarantor. The Guarantor and the Borrower also entered into certain Management Consulting Agreements with the Creditor dated, respectively, August 11, 2004 and January 28, 2005 (the "Management Agreements", together with the Asset Purchase Agreements and all agreements and instruments entered into in connection therewith, each as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being referred to herein as the "Subordinated Documents"). The Senior Debt (as defined below) owed to the Lender is secured by, among other things, first priority security interests in and liens on (the "Senior Liens") the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement). In order to induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement, to make the loans and other financial accommodations contemplated thereunder and to grant such renewals or extensions thereof as the Lender may deem advisable, the Creditor is willing to subordinate: (i) all indebtedness and obligations of each Debtor to the Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the "Subordinated Debt"), to all Senior Debt and (ii) any security interests and liens granted to the Creditor from time to time (the "Junior Liens") in respect of the Collateral to the Senior Liens. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
The Creditor hereby subordinates the Junior Liens to the Senior Liens and agrees that, notwithstanding the relative times of attachment or perfection of the Senior Liens and the Junior Liens, the Senior Liens shall in all respects be senior to the Junior Liens. All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Debtors to the Lender now existing or hereafter arising under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation unpaid principal, interest (including without limitation interest accruing after the maturity of indebtedness thereunder and interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceeding relating to either Debtor, whether or not allowed in such proceeding and whether the Lender is oversecured or undersecured with respect to its loans or other financial accommodations to either Debtor), all fees, indemnities and expenses payable under the Loan Documents and all costs of collecting such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations (including attorneys' fees) (collectively, the "Senior Debt"). The Creditor will not demand or receive from either Debtor (and neither Debtor will pay to the Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will the Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will the Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against either Debtor, in each case until such time as all Senior Debt is fully paid in cash. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Creditor shall be entitled to receive when due the regularly scheduled payments as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreements and the regularly scheduled consulting fees as set forth in the Management Agreements, provided that (a) the Lender has not made demand to either Debtor and (b) no Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, has occurred and is continuing or would exist immediately after such payment. The Creditor shall promptly deliver to the Lender in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by the Creditor where required by the Lender) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by the Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement or pursuant to the exercise of its rights and remedies in enforcement of the Subordinated Debt, whether or not permitted under this Agreement. If the Creditor shall fail to make such endorsement or assignment, the Lender (or any of its officers) is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Until so delivered, the Creditor shall hold such payment or distribution in trust as the property of the Lender, segregated from all other funds and property held by the Creditor. In the event of either Debtor's dissolution, winding up or liquidation or any insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws for the benefit of or relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the Senior Debt shall be paid in full in cash before any payment is made to the Creditor. Until the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash, the Creditor irrevocably appoints the Lender as the Creditor's attorney-in-fact, and grants to the Lender a power of attorney with full power of -2-
substitution, in the name of the Creditor or in the name of the Lender, for the use and benefit of the Lender, without notice to the Creditor, to perform at the Lender's option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding involving either Debtor: (a) To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of the Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if the Lender elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; (b) To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of the Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor's claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that the Lender deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder; and (c) Take any other action in connection with any such proceeding that the Creditor could take but for this Agreement: provided that in no event shall the Lender be liable to the Creditor for any failure to prove the Subordinated Debt, to exercise any right with respect thereto or to collect any funds payable in respect thereof. The Creditor agrees duly and promptly to take any such action as may be reasonably requested by the Lender to assist in the collection of the Subordinated Debt for the Lender's account and/or to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt and to execute and deliver to the Lender, on demand, such powers of attorney, assignments, proofs of claim or other instruments as the Lender may reasonably request to enable the Lender to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt and to collect and receive any and all payments and distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt. The Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement and agrees to execute such other documents reasonably requested by the Lender further to evidence the senior priority of the Senior Debt and Senior Liens provided herein. By the execution of this Agreement, the Creditor hereby authorizes the Lender to amend any financing statements filed by the Creditor against Debtors as follows: "In accordance with a certain Subordination Agreement by and among the Secured Party, the Debtor and TD BankNorth., N.A., the Secured Party has subordinated any security interest or lien that Secured Party may have in any property of the Debtor to the security interest of TD BankNorth, N.A. in all assets of the Debtor, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of the Secured Party and TD BankNorth, N.A " No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement (a) if such change or amendment could materially increase either Debtor's obligations or the Creditor's rights in a manner adverse to either Debtor or the Lender or (b) in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that -3-
the Creditor may have in any property of either Debtor. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. In foreclosing on the Senior Liens, so long as the Lender proceeds in a commercially reasonable manner, the Lender may proceed to foreclose on the Senior Liens in any manner which the Lender, in its discretion, choose even though a higher price might have been realized if the Lender had proceeded to foreclose on the Senior Liens in another manner. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender shall have no duty to the Creditor with respect to the preservation or maintenance of the Collateral or the manner in which the Lender enforces its rights in such Collateral or to preserve or maintain the rights of any Person in the Collateral and the Creditor hereby waives (a) any claims which it may now or hereafter have against the Lender which relate to such preservation, maintenance or enforcement and (b) the right to require the Lender to marshal any Collateral, to enforce any security interest or lien the Lender may now or hereafter have in any Collateral securing the Senior Debt or to pursue any claim it may have against any guarantor of the Senior Debt, as a condition to the Lender's entitlement to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Debt. Without limiting any of the Lender's foreclosure or other rights under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law, in the event that, at the Borrower's request in connection with a sale by the Borrower or its stockholders of any of its assets or ownership interests, the Lender releases or discharges any of its Senior Liens on any Collateral which is subject to a Junior Lien, such Collateral shall thereupon be deemed to have been released from all Junior Liens and the Creditor shall be deemed to have consented to such sale; provided, however, that (a) the Lender believes in good faith that any released or discharged Collateral is being sold or transferred in the ordinary course for cash consideration reasonably equivalent to the fair value of such Collateral and (b) the proceeds of such sale are applied to repay Senior Debt, with any balance to be applied to the Subordinated Debt. The Creditor agrees that, within ten days following the Lender's reasonable written request, it will execute, deliver, file and record any and all such termination statements, lien releases, discharges and other agreements and instruments necessary to give effect to the foregoing and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to file and record same. If at any time any payment of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by the Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of either Debtor), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and the Creditor shall immediately pay over to the Lender all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to the Creditor, the Lender may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to either Debtor, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and -4-
enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against the Debtors or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect the Lender's rights hereunder. In addition to its agreements set forth above, the Creditor, in its capacity as a holder of Subordinated Debt, agrees to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, and otherwise to cooperate with the Lender to effectuate the subordination provided hereby, in furtherance thereof, the Creditor agrees (a) not to oppose any motion filed or supported by the Lender for relief from stay or for adequate protection in respect of the Senior Debt; (b) not to oppose any motion supported by the Lender for either Debtor's use of cash collateral or post-petition borrowing from the Lender; (c) not to institute against either Debtor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until such time as the Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash; and (d) not otherwise to (i) impede, interfere with or restrict or restrain the Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or (ii) take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the priority position over the Creditor that is created in favor of the Lender by this Agreement. If the Creditor shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against either Debtor or take any other action in any legal proceeding involving either Debtor in violation of this Agreement, such Debtor may interpose this Agreement as a defense or plea and the Lender is irrevocably authorized to intervene and to interpose such defense or plea in its or either Debtor's name. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of the Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of the Lender. This Agreement shall remain effective until terminated in writing by the Lender. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Creditor and the Lender and, except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, is not for the benefit of either Debtor or any other party. The Creditor will not sell, assign or transfer any of its interest in the Subordinated Debt, unless the Lender consents thereto in writing, and the buyer, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by this Agreement pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. The Creditor further agrees that if one or both of the Debtors are in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with one or more new financial institutions, and if the Lender makes a request of the Creditor, the Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with such new financial institution(s) substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. The Creditor and the Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts in any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind, against it that arises out of or by reason of this Agreement. THE CREDITOR AND THE LENDER WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF -5-
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. The Creditor is not relying on any representations by the Lender or the Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and the Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of the Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by the Creditor and the Lender. Creditor and each Debtor waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement in any action brought therefor by the Lender.
