                          TRADEMARK SECURITY AGREEMENT
                          ----------------------------


          THIS TRADEMARK SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of June 30, 2000, by ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (the "Debtor"), in favor of MERCANTILE-SAFE DEPOSIT AND
TRUST COMPANY, a Maryland banking corporation (the "Secured Party").

                                    Recitals
                                    --------

          A.  The Secured Party and the Debtor are parties to that certain
Revolving Credit and Letter of Credit Agreement dated as of November 24, 1993
(as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the "Agreement").  Capitalized
terms used herein without definition have the meanings provided in the
Agreement.

          B.  To secure the Obligations ("Obligations"), the Debtor has agreed
to enter into this Agreement.

                                   Agreement
                                   ---------

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
the Secured Party to enter into the Lease, the Debtor hereby agrees with the
Secured Party as follows:

          1.  Creation of Security Interest.  In order to secure the payment of
              -----------------------------
and performance of all Obligations, the Debtor hereby grants to the Secured
Party a security interest in and assigns to Secured Party all of the Debtor's
trademarks, trademark registrations, tradenames, trademark applications and
domain names and applications owned or licensed by Debtor in the United States
and Canada (the "Trademark Countries") that, in each case, are now filed with
the U.S. Trademark and Trademark Office, any similar office or agency of any
state, territory or possession of the United States, or any similar office or
agency of Canada, or used in the United States, any state, territory or
possession thereof, or Canada, including but not limited to the trademark
registrations and trademark applications listed on Schedule A attached hereto
                                                   ----------
and made a part hereof, and (i) renewals thereof, (ii) all income, royalties,
damages and payments due or payable with respect thereto, including, without
limitation, payments under all licenses entered into in connection therewith and
damages and payments for past or future infringements thereof, (iii) the right
to sue for past, present and future infringements thereof, and (iv) all rights
corresponding thereto throughout the world (all of the foregoing trademarks,
trademark registrations, tradenames and trademark applications, domain names and
applications, together with the items described in clauses (i)-(iv) in this
subparagraph (a), are sometimes hereinafter referred to, either individually or
collectively, as the "Trademarks"); and the goodwill of the Company's business
connected with and symbolized by the Trademarks.  All of the foregoing shall be
the "Collateral".

          2.  Restrictions on Future Agreements.  Until the Obligations shall
              ---------------------------------
have been satisfied in full, the Debtor will not without the Secured Party's
prior written consent, (a) enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with
the Debtor's obligations under this Agreement or any
<PAGE>

Other Agreements to which the Debtor is a party, (b) intentionally take any
action, or permit any action to be taken by others subject to its control, or
intentionally fail to take any action (including, without limitation, the
intentional abandonment of any Trademark that is material to the conduct of the
Debtor's business as then conducted), that would adversely affect the validity
or enforceability of the rights transferred to the Secured Party under this
Agreement, or (c) enter into any other contractual obligations that would
restrict or inhibit the Secured Party's rights to sell or otherwise dispose of
the Trademarks or any part thereof after the occurrence of any Lease Event of
Default; provided, however, that the Debtor may, without the Secured Party's
consent, grant one or more nonexclusive, transferable licenses under the
Trademarks, provided that (i) each such license is subject to the terms of this
Agreement, (ii) that such license is not otherwise inconsistent with the
Debtor's obligations under this Agreement, or any Other Agreements to which the
Debtor is a party and (iii) the Debtor shall give the Secured Party prior
written notice of such grant; provided further, that promptly, but no later than
five Business Days after the receipt of any proceeds resulting from such
assignment or exclusive license, the Debtor shall pay such proceeds to the
Secured Party; and provided further, that promptly, but no later than five (5)
business days after the receipt of any proceeds resulting from such assignment
or exclusive license, the Debtor shall pay such proceeds to the Secured Party.

          3.  Trademarks.  The Debtor represents and warrants that, to the best
              ----------
of its knowledge, it has provided to Secured Party a list of all of the Debtor's
trademarks, trademark registrations, tradenames, trademark applications, domain
names and applications, wherever located, that are as of the date hereof used by
the Debtor in its business or owned by or are pending on behalf of the Debtor.

          4.  Representations and Warranties. The Debtor hereby represents,
              ------------------------------
warrants, covenants and agrees that:

              (a) It is the owner or authorized licensee of all of the right,
title and interest in the Trademarks, free from any lien or encumbrance except
for the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement (other than
Permitted Encumbrances).

              (b) It has made no previous assignment, transfer or agreements in
conflict herewith or constituting a present or future assignment, transfer, or
encumbrance on any of the Trademarks.

              (c) After the date hereof and prior to termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 5, it will not execute, and there will not be on
file in any public office, any financing statement or other document or
instruments evidencing or giving notice of liens affecting the Trademarks.

              (d) To its knowledge, no material infringement or unauthorized use
presently is being made of any of the Trademarks that would adversely affect the
fair market value of the Trademarks or the benefits of this Agreement granted to
the Secured Party, including, without limitation, the remedies of the Secured
Party hereunder.

              (e) There has been no judgment holding any of the Trademarks
invalid or unenforceable, in whole or part nor is the validity or enforceability
of any of the

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Trademarks presently being questioned in any litigation or proceeding to which
the Debtor is a party.

          5.  Term.  The term of the Agreement shall commence as of the date
              ----
hereof and terminate at such time as all of the Obligations have been fully
satisfied and Borrower has no remaining loan or other credit facilities of any
kind with the Secured Party.

          6.  Duties of the Debtor. Until all Obligations then due and owing
              --------------------
shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, the
Debtor shall (i) prosecute diligently any Trademark application that is part of
the Trademarks pending as of the date hereof, (ii) make application on
unpatented but patentable inventions that are part of the Collateral as it deems
appropriate in its business judgment, (iii) preserve and maintain all rights in
Trademark applications and Trademarks that are part of the Trademarks, including
the payment of all maintenance fees; (iv) not intentionally abandon any pending
Trademark application if in its business judgment the value thereof could be
expected to justify the cost of obtaining such Trademark, and (v) not
intentionally abandon any Trademark. Any expenses incurred in connection with
the applications referred to in this Section 6 shall be borne by the Debtor. The
Debtor agrees to retain or employ an experienced Trademark attorney for the
filing and prosecution of all such applications and other proceedings. The
Debtor shall keep the Secured Party advised on a current basis of the
abandonment of any Trademark or Trademark application, and the grant of any
nonexclusive Trademark license, to the extent such Trademarks or Trademark
applications are part of the Trademarks.

          If the Debtor fails to comply with any of the foregoing duties, the
Secured Party may so comply in the Debtor's name to the extent permitted by law,
but at the Debtor's expense, and the Debtor hereby agrees to reimburse the
Secured Party in full for all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees
and disbursements of attorneys and paralegals (excluding charges for inside
counsel) incurred by the Secured Party in protecting, defending and maintaining
the Trademarks.

          If the Debtor shall fail to pay when due any fees required to be paid
by it hereunder, or shall fail to discharge any Lien prohibited hereby, or shall
fail to comply with any other duty hereunder, the Secured Party may, but shall
not be required to, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for the account of
the Debtor, and all moneys so paid out shall be a part of the  Obligations of
the Debtor repayable on demand, together with interest at the default rate.

          The Debtor shall take all action reasonably necessary to preserve and
maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the Secured Party's interest
granted herein in the Trademarks, subject to Permitted Encumbrances.

          7.  Secured Party's Right to Sue.  From and after the occurrence and
              ----------------------------
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have the
right, but shall in no way be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to
enforce the Trademarks, and any licenses thereunder, and, if the Secured Party
shall commence any such suit, the Debtor shall, at the request of the Secured
Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents
reasonably required by the Secured Party in aid of such enforcement and the
Debtor shall indemnify and shall, upon demand, promptly reimburse the Secured
Party for all damages


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, incurred by the Secured Party in the exercise of its rights under this
Section 7.

          8.  Waivers. No course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured
              -------
Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

          9.  Amendments. This Agreement or any provision thereof may be
              ----------
changed, waived, or terminated only by a writing executed by the parties hereto.

          10. Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
              --------
continuing, the Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise in respect of the
Trademarks, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, and in
the Other Agreements or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the
State of Maryland ("UCC"), whether or not the UCC applies to the Trademarks, and
also may (i) require the Debtor, and the Debtor hereby agrees that it will upon
written the request of the Secured Party, forthwith, (A) execute and deliver an
assignment, in the form required by Secured Party, of all right, title and
interest in and to the Trademarks, and (B) take such other action as the Secured
Party may request to effectuate the outright assignment of such Trademarks or to
exercise, register or further perfect and protect its rights and remedies with
respect to such assigned Trademarks, and (ii) without notice except as specified
below, sell the Trademarks or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, and upon such terms as the Secured Party may
deem commercially reasonable.  The Debtor agrees that at least ten (10) days'
notice to the Debtor of the time and place of any public sale or the time that
any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The
Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Trademarks
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party 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.  The Secured Party may purchase all
or any part of the Trademarks at public or, if permitted by law, private sale
and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may setoff the amount of
such price against the Obligations.  The proceeds realized from the sale of any
Trademarks shall be applied as provided in the Agreement. If any deficiency
shall arise, the Debtor shall remain liable to the Secured Party therefor.  The
commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment
or decree for deficiency shall not affect the Secured Party's interest in the
Trademarks until the Obligations are fully paid.  The Debtor agrees that the
Secured Party has no obligation to preserve rights to the Trademarks against any
other parties.

          11. Cumulative Remedies; Power of Attorney.  All of the Secured
              --------------------------------------
Party's rights and remedies with respect to the Trademarks, whether established
hereby, by the Lease, by any other Loan Document, or by law shall be cumulative
and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  The Debtor hereby authorizes
the Secured Party to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the
Secured Party as the Secured Party may select, in its sole discretion, as


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

the Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, from and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default to (a) endorse the Debtor's name on all
applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary or desirable for the
Secured Party in the use of the Trademarks, including, without limitation, if
the Debtor fails to execute and deliver within three (3) days of the Secured
Party's written request therefor the assignment required by Secured Party, (b)
take any other actions with respect to the Trademarks as the Secured Party deems
in the best interest of the Secured Party, (c) grant or issue any exclusive or
non-exclusive license under the Trademarks to anyone, or (d) assign, pledge,
convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Trademarks to anyone.
The Debtor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof in accordance with the terms hereof. This power of
attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all
Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated.
The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is not intended to limit
or restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Secured Party under the
Lease and the Other Agreements but rather is intended to facilitate the exercise
of such rights and remedies.

          12. Notice. Any notice, approval, consent or other communication to
              ------
any party hereunder shall be in the form and manner, and to the addresses as set
forth in the Agreement.

          13. Continuing Security Interest; Binding Effect; Benefits of
              ---------------------------------------------------------
Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
---------
Trademarks and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full
of all Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Debtor its successors and assigns,
and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Party
hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and permitted,
transferees and assigns.

          14. Authority of Secured Party. The Secured Party shall have and be
              --------------------------
entitled to exercise all powers hereunder that are specifically delegated to the
Secured Party by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incident thereto. The Secured Party may perform any of its duties hereunder or
in connection with the Trademarks by or through agents or employees and shall be
entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of counsel
concerning all such matters. The Secured Party and its directors, officers,
employees, attorneys and agents shall be entitled to rely on any communication,
instrument or document believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Secured
Party nor any director, officer, employee, attorney or agent of the Secured
Party shall be liable to the Debtor for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it or them hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence, willful
misconduct, nor shall the Secured Party be responsible for the validity,
effectiveness or sufficiency hereof or of any document or security furnished
pursuant hereto. The Debtor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Secured
Party and any other person from and against any and all reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses), claims or
liability incurred by the Secured Party or such person hereunder, unless such
claim or liability shall be due to willful misconduct or gross negligence on the
part of the Secured Party or such person.

          15. Waiver. To the fullest extent it may lawfully so agree, the
              ------
Debtor agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, claim, plead, or take
any benefit or advantage of any


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar law
now or hereafter in force in order to prevent, delay, or hinder the enforcement
hereof or the absolute sale of any part of the Trademarks. The Debtor for itself
and all who claim through it, so far as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may
do so, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws, and all right to have the
Trademarks marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court
having jurisdiction to foreclose this Agreement may order the sale of the
Trademarks as an entirety.

          16. [Intentionally Omitted].

          17. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or
              -------------
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by the
Secured Party in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Debtor or upon the appointment
of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, the
Debtor or any substantial part of its assets, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made.
