     shall defend the same against all claims and demands of all persons at any
     time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured
     Party. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement and
     the Articles of Association of the Company, each Grantor shall not pledge,
     mortgage or create or suffer to exist a security interest in the Collateral
     (other than the Permitted Liens) of such Grantor in favor of any person
     other than the Secured party.

     (c) Transfers and Other Liens. Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i)

respect to, the Collateral, any portion thereof, or any interest therein except

for any and all expenditures so made, and until paid, the amount thereof shall
be a debt secured by the Collateral. The Secured Party shall have no obligation
to the Grantors to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof
relieve any Grantor of any default.

     (f) Creation and Perfection of Lien. Each Grantor represents and warrants
to the Secured Party and covenants with the Secured Party that this Agreement
creates a valid Lien upon and security interest in the Collateral as security
for the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon (i) the filing of UCC-l
financing statements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Financing
Statement") (a) in the jurisdiction of organization of each Grantor under the
UCC or (b) if the Grantor is a Person organized outside of the United States of
America, in Washington D.C., against such Grantor as the same may be in effect

establish and perfect the Secured Party's security interest in such of the
Collateral as to which a security interest may be perfected by filing or
possession under the UCC, and such security interest shall remain prior to all
other Liens, except for Permitted Liens; provided, however, that until the
Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, the requirements for
delivery under this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied by delivery
of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent. No further filings,
recordings or other actions are or will be necessary to maintain the priority of
such security interest with respect to such Collateral other than the filing of
UCC continuation statements within six months prior to the expiration of a
period of five years after the original filing and any amendments that may be
required from time to time to maintain the validity and/or sufficiency of such
filing under the UCC. The Collateral and the Secured Party's rights with respect
to the Collateral are not subject to any setoff, claims, withholdings or other
defenses.

grant by each Grantor of the security interest granted hereby or for the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by each Grantor, (ii) for
the perfection and maintenance of the security interest referred to in paragraph
(f) above (including the priority of such security interest) to the extent such
security interest may be perfected by such filings or possession referred to in
paragraph (f) above, or (iii) for the exercise by the Secured Party of the
rights or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

notice, shall deliver to the Secured Party a list of the names, addresses, face
value, and dates of invoices for each debtor obligated on an account receivable
(which records may be provided in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to
the Secured Party); provided, however, that except after the occurrence of an
Accelerated Redemption Event and during the continuation thereof, the Secured
Party shall not contact any Grantor's account debtors without five (5) Business
Days' written notice to such Grantor.

     (i) Government Contracts. Each Grantor agrees that, at the request of the
Secured Party, it shall execute all such documents, and take all such actions,
as such Person shall reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate from
time to time under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended, in
order to confirm and assure to Secured Party its rights under this Agreement
with respect to any and all Collateral consisting of such Grantor's rights to
monies due or to become due under any contracts or agreements with or orders
from the United States government or any agency or department thereof, the
assignment of which is not prohibited by such contract or agreement.

     (j) Delivery of Certificated Security Collateral. Each Grantor represents
that, as of the Closing Date, all certificates evidencing any Security
Collateral to be delivered hereunder have been delivered to the Secured Party.
Each Grantor agrees that it shall forthwith deliver and pledge (i) until
Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, to the First Lien
Collateral Agent and (ii) thereafter, to the Secured Party, all certificates
representing securities which it shall acquire on or after the date hereof,
whether by purchase, stock dividend, distribution of capital or otherwise, along
with stock powers or other appropriate instruments of assignment with respect
thereto, duly executed in blank.

     (k) Cooperation. Each Grantor agrees, after the occurrence of an
Accelerated Redemption Event, to take any actions that the Secured Party may
reasonably request in order to enable the Secured Party to obtain and enjoy the
full rights and benefits granted to them by the Equity Documents. Each Grantor
further consents, after the occurrence of an Accelerated Redemption Event, to
the transfer of control or assignment of all or any portion of the Collateral to
a receiver, trustee, transferee, or similar official or to any purchaser of the
Collateral pursuant to any public or private sale, judicial sale, foreclosure or
exercise of other remedies available to the Secured Party as permitted by the
Equity Documents, applicable law or otherwise, subject to the receipt of any
required Governmental Approvals.

     (l) Access to Books and Records and the Collateral. Each Grantor shall
permit the Secured Party's representatives to have access to its books and
records and the Collateral from time to time (which shall be during regular
business hours provided that there is not then an Accelerated Redemption Event
and at any time if an Accelerated Redemption Event has occurred and is
continuing), as requested by such Person, for purposes of examination,
verification, inspection, and appraisal thereof and/or any other purpose
permitted by the Equity Documents. Except after the occurrence of an Accelerated
Redemption Event, the Secured Party shall give each Grantor at least one
Business Day's telephonic notice before exercising the rights granted in the
preceding sentence.


                                       11

     (m) Intellectual Property. As to each Grantor's Intellectual Property:

          (i) Grantor's Rights. The rights of each Grantor in or to any material
     Intellectual Property Collateral do not conflict with, misappropriate or
     infringe the intellectual property rights or any third party, and no claim
     has been asserted that the use of such Intellectual Property Collateral
     does or may infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

          (ii) Ownership. Without limiting the generality of Section 6(b), each
     Grantor is the exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title
     and interest in and to any material Intellectual Property Collateral and is
     entitled to use all such Intellectual Property Collateral without
     limitation, subject only to the license terms of the Licenses.

          (iii) Identification of Intellectual Property. Set forth on Schedule
     III hereto is a complete and accurate list of all of the patents and patent
     applications owned by each Grantor. Set forth on Schedule IV hereto is a
     complete and accurate list of all of the trademark and service mark
     registrations, all trademark and service mark applications and all other
     material trademarks service marks, trade names and other indicia of origin
     owned by each Grantor. Set forth on Schedule V hereto is a complete and
     accurate list of all copyright registration, copyright applications and all
     material common law copyrights and works of authorship owned by each
     Grantor. Set forth on Schedule VI hereto is a complete and accurate list of
     all internet domain names and all internet domain name registrations owned

     recordations to protect and maintain its interest in the patents, patent
     applications, trademark and service mark recordations, material trademarks,
     service marks, trade names and other indicia of origin, copyright
     registrations and copyrights applications, material common law copyrights
     and works of authorship, internet domain names, interest domain name
     registrations and Licenses set forth on Schedules III, IV, V and VI hereto
     (collectively, the "Scheduled Assets").

          (iv) Validity of Intellectual Property Collateral. Each of the
     Scheduled Assets (except for Licenses, which are addressed below) is
     subsisting and has not be adjudged invalid, unregisterable or
     unenforceable, in whole or in part, and is valid and enforceable. Each
     License of each Grantor is, to the best of such Grantor's Knowledge,
     subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or
     in part, and is, to the best of such Grantor's Knowledge, valid and
     enforceable. Each Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of
     Intellectual Property Collateral which would be expected to lead to such
     item becoming invalid or unenforceable, including unauthorized uses by
     third parties and uses which were not supported by the goodwill of the
     business connected with such Intellectual Property Collateral.

          (v) Proper Notice. Each Grantor has used the applicable proper
     statutory notice in connection with its use of the patents, registered
     trademarks and service marks, and copyrights set forth on Schedules III,
     IV, V and VI.


                                       12

<PAGE>

          (vi) No Outstanding Claims. No claim has been made, continuing or, to
     Grantor's Knowledge, threatened to or by any Grantor, that any items of
     Intellectual Property Collateral is invalid or unenforceable or that the
     use by any Grantor of any Intellectual Property Collateral does or may
     violate the rights of any Person. There is currently no infringement or
     unauthorized use of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral. There is
     currently no use of Intellectual Property Collateral that violates the
     rights of any Person.

          (vii) Quality Control. Each Grantor has taken all reasonable steps to
     use consistent standards of quality in the manufacture, distribution and
     sale of all products sold and the provision of all services provided under
     or in connection with any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, and has
     taken all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that all licensed users
     of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, use such consistent
     standards of quality.

     Section 7. Covenants and Further Assurances Regarding Intellectual
Property.

     (a) Each Grantor agrees that it shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of
law or otherwise), transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, or any portion thereof,
or any interest therein, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement
and the Articles of Association of the Company, or (ii) create or suffer to
exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral, except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created by
this Agreement and the Credit Documents and except for Liens expressly permitted
by the Credit Documents and the Articles of Association of the Company.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7(a) above, each Grantor
will, upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, with respect to the
Intellectual Property Collateral, execute and file such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be reasonably necessary, or as the Secured Party may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the pledge, assignment, Lien, priority
and security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, including,
without limitation, one or more Trademark Collateral Security Agreements in
substantially the form attached hereto as Attachment A, one or more Patent
Collateral Security Agreements in substantially the form attached hereto as
Attachment B, one or more Copyright Security Agreements in substantially the
form attached hereto as Attachment C and any updates or amendments of any such
agreements.

     (c) Each Grantor will furnish to the Secured Party from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual
Property Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Intellectual
Property Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail.

     (d) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, if it obtains an ownership
interest in any patent, patent application, patentable invention, trademark,
service mark, trade name, trade dress, other indicia of trade origin, trademark
or service mark registration, trademark or service mark application, copyright,
copyright registration,


                                       13

<PAGE>

copyright application, work of authorship, internet domain name, internet domain
name registration or any interest in a License or other intellectual property,
which is not now a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (the "New IP
Collateral"), (i) the provisions of Section 2 will automatically apply thereto,
and (ii) any such New IP Collateral (together with the goodwill of the business
connected with the use of any trademark, service mark, trade name, trade dress,
other indicia of trade origin and symbolized by same that is included in the New
IP Collateral) will automatically become part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral; provided, however, that to the extent the consent of any other party
to any such License is required, under the terms thereof, for the collateral
assignment thereof, then this Agreement shall not affect any collateral
assignment of (or otherwise be applied so as to cause a default under) such
License for so long as (but only for so long as) such consent would be required
and has not been obtained. Each Grantor authorizes the Secured Party to modify
this Agreement by amending Schedules III, IV, V and VI hereto (and shall
cooperate with the Secured Party in effecting any such amendment) to include any
patent, patent application, trademark or service mark registration, trademark or
service mark application, material trademark, service mark, trade name and other
indicia of origin, copyright registration and copyright application, material
common law copyright and work of authorship, internet domain name, internet
domain name registration, License or other New IP Collateral which becomes part
of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

     (e) With respect to each material patent, patent application, trademark or
service mark registration, trademark or service mark application, copyright
registration or copyright application, internet domain name or internet domain
name registration set forth in Schedule III, IV, V or VI hereto (as amended from
time to time), each Grantor agrees, upon the request of the Secured Party, to
take all reasonably necessary steps, including, without limitation, in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office
or in any court, to (i) maintain each such patent, trademark or service mark
registration, copyright registration, internet domain name registration and (ii)
pursue each such patent application, trademark or service mark application and
copyright application now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property
Collateral, including, without limitation, the filing of responses to office
actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the filing of
affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the United States Trademark Act, the
filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part and substitute
applications, the filing of applications for re-issue, renewal or extensions,
the payment of maintenance fees, and the participation in interference,
reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation
proceedings. Each Grantor agrees, upon the request of the Secured Party, to take
corresponding steps with respect to each new or acquired material patent, patent
application, trademark or service mark registration, trademark or service mark
application, material trademark, service mark, trade name and other indicia of
origin, copyright registration and copyright application, material common law
copyright, work of authorship, internet domain name and internet domain name
registration, to which it is now or later becomes entitled. Any and all expenses
incurred in connection with such activities will be borne by each Grantor. Each
Grantor shall not discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any patent, patent
application, trademark or service mark registration, material trademark, service
mark, trade name and other indicia of origin, copyright registration and
copyright application, material common law


                                       14

<PAGE>

copyright, work of authorship, internet domain name and interest domain name
registration now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property Collateral,
unless such Grantor shall have first (i) determined in its sound and reasonable
business judgment that such use or pursuit or maintenance of same is no longer
desirable in the conduct of such Grantor's business and that such Intellectual
Property Collateral is not material to such Grantor's business, (ii) provided
the Secured Party written notice of its intent to abandon or discontinue, and
(iii) obtained the express prior written consent of the Secured Party.

     (f) Each Grantor agrees to notify the Secured Party promptly and in writing
if it learns (i) that any item of material Intellectual Property Collateral has
been determined to have become abandoned or dedicated to the public, (ii) of the
institution of any proceeding by or against such Grantor (including, without
limitation, the institution of any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the Copyright Office or any court) regarding any infringement
or unauthorized use of (or similar claim with respect to) an item of material
Intellectual Property Collateral, or (iii) of any adverse determination in any
such proceeding.

     (g) In the event that any item of material Intellectual Property Collateral
is infringed or misappropriated by a third party, each Grantor shall promptly
notify the Secured Party and will take such actions as such Grantor or,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Accelerated Redemption
Event, the Secured Party deems reasonable and appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property Collateral, including,
without limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an
injunction against such infringement or misappropriation. Any expense incurred
in connection with such activities will be borne by each Grantor.

     (h) Each Grantor shall use the applicable proper statutory notice in
connection with its use of each of its patents, registered trademarks and
service marks, copyrights and internet domain names contained in Schedule III,
IV, V or VI.

     Section 8. Securities as Collateral.

     (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Accelerated
Redemption Event, the Secured Party may at any time, at its option, transfer to
itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income
thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the
Obligations, subject to the Credit Documents until Discharge of the First Lien
Obligations has occurred. If the Secured Party so elects to exercise its right
herein and gives notice of such election to the Grantors, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Accelerated Redemption Event to the extent
permitted under applicable law, the Secured Party may vote any or all of the
securities constituting Collateral possessing voting rights (whether or not the
same shall have been transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or
nominees) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the
securities constituting Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as
though it were the outright owner thereof, the Grantors hereby constituting and
appointing the Secured Party the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors,
with full power of substitution, to do so. This power of attorney is coupled
with an interest and may not be revoked by the Grantors while any


                                       15

<PAGE>

Obligations are owing to the Secured Party. So long as no Accelerated Redemption
Event is continuing, the Grantors shall be entitled to receive all cash
dividends paid in respect of the securities of which any Grantor is the
registered owner, to vote such securities and to give consents, waivers and
ratifications in respect of such securities, provided that no vote shall be
cast, or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be
inconsistent with or violate any provisions of any of the Credit Documents or
this Agreement.

     (b) Any sums paid upon or with respect to any of the securities
constituting Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of the issuer
thereof shall be paid over to the Secured Party to be held by it as security for
the Obligations; and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in
respect of any of the securities or any property shall be distributed upon or
with respect to any of the securities pursuant to the recapitalization or
reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or pursuant to the
reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to the
Secured Party to be held by it as security for the Obligations. All sums of
money and property paid or distributed in respect of the securities upon such a
liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or reclassification which are
received by the Grantors shall, until paid or delivered to the Secured Party, be
held in trust for the Secured Party as security for the Obligations.

     Section 9. Power of Attorney.

     (a) Each Grantor acknowledges the Secured Party's right, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, singly to execute and/or file financing or
continuation statements and similar notices required by applicable law, and
amendments thereto, concerning the Collateral without execution by such Grantor.
A copy of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or
any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by
law.

     (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as such
Grantor's attorney-in-fact, effective at all times subsequent to the occurrence
of an Accelerated Redemption Event, and during the continuance thereof, with
full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such
Grantor or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the power and right (i) to endorse
such Grantor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts,
filings or other forms of payment or security of such Grantor that may come into
the Secured Party's possession, and (ii) to do all other things which the
Secured Party then determines to be necessary to carry out the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, the Secured Party acknowledges that applicable law
does not permit the grantee of a power of attorney to execute any application,
report, document or other instrument to be filed with the Federal Communications
Commission on behalf of and in place of the party granting such power of
attorney, except in the case of the grantor's absence from the United States, or
in the case of grantor's physical disability. Each Grantor ratifies and approves
all acts of such attorney-in-fact. The power conferred on the Secured Party
hereunder is solely to protect the Secured Party's interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise such power.
This power


                                       16

<PAGE>

of attorney is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked by each Grantor
while any Obligations are owing to the Secured Party.

     Section 10. Special Provisions Relating to Certain Collateral.

     (a) Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to
exercise rights and remedies under Section 11 of this Agreement at such time as
the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Secured
Party, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor)
to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned
or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located,
including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for
the compilation or printout thereof.

     (b) Accounts Receivable. Until the Secured Party elects (which election may
be made after the occurrence of an Accelerated Redemption Event and during the
continuation thereof) that debtors on accounts receivable of each Grantor or
obligors on accounts, chattel paper or general intangibles of such Grantor or
obligors on instruments for which such Grantor is an obligee or lessees or
conditional vendees under agreements governing the leasing or selling by
conditional sale of Collateral by such Grantor, be notified of the Secured
Party's security interest, each Grantor shall continue to collect payment
thereof. Upon the making of such an election by the Secured Party, each Grantor
shall hold the proceeds received from collection as trustee for the Secured
Party and shall turn the same over to the Secured Party, or to such other bank
or Person as may be approved by the Secured Party, immediately upon receipt in
the identical form received. At the election of the Secured Party, after the
occurrence of an Accelerated Redemption Event and during the continuance
thereof, each Grantor shall so notify such account debtors and obligors that
payment thereof is to be made directly to the Secured Party, and the Secured
Party may itself, at any time after the occurrence of an Accelerated Redemption
Event and during the continuance thereof, without notice to or demand upon such
Grantor, so notify such account debtors and obligors. The making of such an
election or the giving of any such notification shall not affect the duties of
each Grantor described above with respect to proceeds of collection of accounts
receivable received by such Grantor. The Secured Party shall apply the proceeds
of such collection received by the Secured Party to the Obligations in
accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. The application of the proceeds of
such collection shall be conditional upon final payment in cash or solvent
credits of the items giving rise to them. If any item is not so paid, the
Secured Party in its discretion, whether or not the item is returned, may either
reverse any credit given for the item or charge it to any deposit account
maintained by each Grantor with the Secured Party.


                                       17

     Section 11. Events of Default; Remedies.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of an Accelerated Redemption Event and during the
continuation thereof, whether or not the Obligations are due, the Secured Party
may demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise it deems
desirable with respect to the Collateral.

     (b) An "Accelerated Redemption Event" hereunder shall mean an Accelerated
Redemption Event as such term is defined in the Articles of Association of the
Company.

     (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Accelerated
Redemption Event, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in addition
to the remedies set forth elsewhere in this Agreement:

          (i) The Secured Party shall have, in addition to all other rights and
     remedies given it by any instrument or other agreement evidencing, or
     executed and delivered in connection with, any of the Obligations and
     otherwise allowed by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under
     the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which the
     Collateral may be located and without limiting the generality of the
     foregoing, the Secured Party may immediately, without (to the fullest
     extent permitted by law) demand of performance or advertisement or notice
     of intention to sell or of time or place of sale or of redemption or other
     notice or demand whatsoever (except that the Secured Party shall give to
     each Grantor at least ten days' notice of the time and place of any
     proposed sale or other disposition), all of which are hereby expressly
     waived to the fullest extent permitted by law, sell at public or private
     sale or otherwise realize upon, the whole or from time to time any part of
     the Collateral in or upon which the Secured Party shall have a security
     interest or Lien hereunder, or any interest which each Grantor may have
     therein, and after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition
     of the Collateral all expenses (including all reasonable expenses for legal
     services) as provided in Section 15 hereof, shall apply the residue of such
     proceeds toward the payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 5
     of this Agreement, each Grantor remaining liable for any deficiency
     remaining unpaid after such application. If notice of any sale or other
     disposition is required by law to be given to each Grantor, then each
     Grantor, the Secured Party hereby agree that a notice given as hereinbefore
     provided shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. Each
     Grantor also agrees to assemble the Collateral at such place or places as
     the Secured Party reasonably designates by written notice. At any such sale
     or other disposition the Secured Party may itself, and any other person or
     entity owed any Obligation may itself, to the extent permitted by
     applicable law, purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral sold, free
     from any right of redemption on the part of each Grantor, which right is
     hereby waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by law.

          (ii) Furthermore, without limiting the generality of any of the rights
     and remedies conferred upon the Secured Party under Section 11(c)(i)
     hereof, the Secured Party to the fullest extent permitted by law, may enter
     upon the premises of


                                       18

<PAGE>

     each Grantor, exclude each Grantor or any guarantor therefrom and take
     immediate possession of the Collateral, either personally or by means of a
     receiver appointed by a court therefor, and may, at its option, use,
     operate, manage and control the Collateral in any lawful manner and may
     collect and receive all rents, income, revenue, earnings, issues and
     profits therefrom, and may maintain, repair, renovate, alter or remove the
     Collateral as the Secured Party may determine in its discretion, and any
     such monies so collected or received by such Person shall be remitted to
     the Secured Party and shall be applied to, or may be accumulated for
     application upon, the Obligations in accordance with Section 5 of this
     Agreement.

          (iii) The Secured Party agrees that such Person will give notice to
     each Grantor of any enforcement action taken by it pursuant to this Section
     11 promptly after commencing such action.

          (iv) Each Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to
     effect a public sale of securities constituting Collateral by reason of
     certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and may be compelled
     to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of
     purchasers consistent with all applicable laws. Each Grantor agrees that
     any such private sales may be at prices and other terms less favorable to
     each Grantor than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall
     not solely by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a
     commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall not be under any
     obligation to delay a sale of any of the securities for the period of time
     necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such
     securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
     even if the issuer would agree to do so.

     (d) For the purposes of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and
remedies under this Section 11, at such time as the Secured Party shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other
purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party, to the extent
assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment
of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, assign, license or
sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by
the Grantors, wherever the same may be located, including in such license
reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or
printout thereof.

     Section 12. Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal
any present or future security for (including but not limited to this Agreement
and the Collateral subject to the security interest created hereby), or
guarantees of, the Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or
guarantees in any particular order; and all of its rights hereunder and in
respect of such securities and guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully
may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the
marshalling of Collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement
of the Secured Party's rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument
evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the


                                       19

<PAGE>

Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the extent that it lawfully may do
so each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. Except
as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Secured Party shall have no duty as
to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as
to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation
of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the sole custody thereof.

     Section 13. Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the obligations of each Grantor under this Security Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be
impaired by (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of such Grantor, to the
extent permitted by law; (b) any exercise or nonexercise, or any waiver, by the
Secured Party of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of
any of the Obligations or any security therefor (including this Agreement); (c)
any amendment to or modification of any instrument evidencing any of the
Obligations or pursuant to which any of them were issued; (d) any amendment to
or modification of any instrument or agreement (other than this Agreement)
securing any of the Obligations; or (e) the taking of additional security for or
any guaranty of any of the Obligations or the release or discharge or
termination of any security or guaranty for any of the Obligations; and whether
or not such Grantor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

     Section 14. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by such
Person of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future
exercise of any other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and
power hereby granted to the Secured Party or the future holders of any of the
Obligations or allowed to any of them by law or other agreement, including,
without limitation, each of the Equity Documents, shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other, and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, may be
exercised by the Secured Party or the future holders of any of the Obligations
from time to time.

     Section 15. Expenses. Each Grantor agrees to pay, on demand, all reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses for legal
services of every kind) of the Secured Party incidental to the sale of, or
realization upon, any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
perfection, enforcement or protection of the rights of such Person hereunder;
and the Secured Party may at any time apply to the payment of all such costs and
expenses all monies of each Grantor or other proceeds arising from its
possession or disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral.

     Section 16. Consents, Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement
may be amended, and the performance or observance by each Grantor of any term of
this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and
either retroactively or prospectively) only with the prior written consent of
the Secured Party.

     Section 17. Secured Party's Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured
Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party's interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
Except for the safe custody of any


                                       20

<PAGE>

Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not
Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral
in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which it accords its own property.

     Section 18. Indemnity and Expenses. Each Grantor agrees to indemnify,
defend and save and hold harmless the Secured Party and each of its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and
advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against, and shall pay on
demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses that may
be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each
case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement
and/or any other Equity Document (including, without limitation, enforcement of
this Agreement and/or any other Equity Document), except to the extent such
claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnified Party's negligence or willful misconduct.

     Section 19. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims, disputes and
matters arising hereunder or related hereto shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflict of laws
provisions. The parties acknowledge the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located within the County of New York, State of New York over
controversies arising from or relating to this Agreement.

     Section 20. Parties in Interest. All terms of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective
successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that each Grantor may not
assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Secured Party. Any assignment or transfer by each Grantor of its rights
hereunder in violation of this Agreement shall be void ab initio.

     Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by each party on a separate
counterpart, which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     Section 22. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments. This Agreement shall
create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in
full force and effect until the payment in full of all Obligations and the

benefit of the Secured Party and its respective successors, transferees and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, but subject
to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Articles of Association of the
Company, the Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion
of its rights and obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or any portion of its Shares).

     Section 23. Release; Termination.

     (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of
Collateral of any Grantor to any person other than another Grantor in a
transaction which is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the
Articles of Association of the Company, such Collateral will be sold, leased,
transferred or otherwise disposed of free and clear of the Liens created hereby,
and the Secured Party will, at such Grantor's expense, execute and deliver to
such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence
the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted hereby.

     (b) Upon payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with their terms,
this Agreement and the Liens and security interests created hereunder shall
automatically terminate and the Secured Party shall return to each Grantor, at
the expense of such Grantor, such Collateral in the possession or control of the
Secured Party as has not theretofore been disposed of pursuant to the provisions
hereof and shall deliver to such Grantor documents in recordable form (which
documents shall be prepared by, and the expense thereof to be borne by, such
Grantor) sufficient to discharge the Liens and security interests granted
hereunder.

     Section 24. Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time,
at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents (including, without limitation, financing
statements, supplemental security agreements, notices of assignment under the
United States Assignment of Claims Act and under similar or local statutes and
regulations), and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to create and/or
maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security
interest granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. In furtherance
of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any
jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Secured Party may determine, in
its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest
granted to the Secured Party herein. Such financing statements may describe the
Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication
or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as
the Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable
or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral
granted to the Secured Party herein, including, without limitation, describing
such property as "all assets" or "all personal property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired". Each Grantor shall furnish to the Secured Party from time
to time statements and schedules further identifying and


                                       22

<PAGE>

describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the
Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable
detail.

     Section 25. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and other communications made or required to be given pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(e) of the
Share Purchase Agreement.

     Section 26. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby
(a) agrees that any Action with respect to any Equity Document may be brought
only in the New York State courts sitting in New York County or the federal
courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and
sitting in New York County, (b) accepts for itself and in respect of its
property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts, (c) irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any
objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non
conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any Action in
those jurisdictions, and (d) irrevocably consents to the service of process of
any of the courts referred to above in any Action by the mailing of copies of
the process to the parties hereto as provided in Section 9(f) of the Share
Purchase Agreement. Service effected as provided in this manner will become
effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process.

     Section 27. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless
remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to
any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

     Section 28. Integration; Conflict. This Agreement and the other Equity
Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations,
agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, of such parties. In the
event that there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the
Articles of Association of the Company, then the provisions of the Articles of
Association of the Company shall control.
