                  In no event shall the Secured Party's  security  interest in a
            contract or agreement of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary be
            deemed to be a present assignment, transfer, conveyance,  subletting
            or other disposition (an "Assignment") of such contract or agreement
            prohibiting,  or  requiring  any consent or  establishing  any other
            condition  for,  an  assignment   thereof  by  the  Company  or  any
            Restricted Subsidiary. The Secured Party acknowledges that any sale,
            transfer or Assignment  of any such  contract or agreement  upon the
            enforcement of the Secured Party's  security  interest therein would
            be  subject to the terms of such  contract  or  agreement  governing
            Assignment,  except as  otherwise  provided in Section  9-318 of the
            UCC.  The Securing  Party's  security  interest in each  contract or
            agreement of the Company or any Restricted  Subsidiary  shall attach
            from the date hereof to all of the  following,  whether now existing
            or hereafter arising or acquired:  (i) all of the Company's and each
            Restricted  Subsidiary's  Accounts and general intangibles for money
            due or to become due arising under such contract or agreement;  (ii)
            all  proceeds  paid or  payable  to the  Company  or any  Restricted
            Subsidiary from any sale, transfer or assignment of such contract or
            agreement  and all rights to receive  such  proceeds;  and (iii) all
            other  rights  and  interests  of the  Company  and  any  Restricted
            Subsidiary  in, to and  under  such  contract  or  agreement  to the
            fullest extent that  attachment  thereto would not be a violation of
            such contract or agreement directly or indirectly  entitling a party
            thereto  (other than the  Company or any  Restricted  Subsidiary  or
            Affiliate thereof) to a legally  enforceable right to terminate such
            contract or agreement.

      4.  Subsection  (b) of Section  3.1 of the  Security  Agreement  is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety, as follows:

            by the actions  described in subsections (i), (ii),  (iii), (iv) and
            (v) hereof,  superior and prior to all Liens and rights or claims of

            trust for any Real  Property,  other than Central  Real  Properties,

            applicable law.

            (b) No  financing  statement or other  evidence of Lien  covering or
            purporting  to  cover  any  of  the  Collateral  is on  file  and is
            effective in any public office other than (i)  financing  statements
