         instruments or other writings evidencing Time Deposits and any and all

         Collateral."

                  4.3. PLEDGORS' RIGHTS TO CASH COLLATERAL, ETC. Except as

         to withdraw sums from the Cash Collateral Account, to receive any of

         the Administrative Agent's possession of any instruments or other
         writings evidencing any Time Deposits.

         5. WARRANTY OF TITLE; AUTHORITY. Each of the Pledgors hereby represents
and warrants that: (i) such Pledgor has good and marketable title to, and is the
sole record and beneficial owner of, the Stock described in ss.1, subject to no
pledges, liens, security interests, charges, options, restrictions or other
encumbrances except the pledge and security interest created by this Agreement,
(ii) all of the Stock described in ss.1 is validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, (iii) such Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to pledge
and grant a security interest in all of the Stock Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance hereof and the pledge of
and granting of a security interest in the Stock Collateral hereunder have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action and do not contravene
any law, rule or regulation or any provision of such Pledgor's charter documents
or by-laws or of any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal or of any
agreement or instrument to which such Pledgor is a party or by which it or any
of its property is bound or affected or constitute a default thereunder, and
(iv) the information set forth in ANNEX A hereto relating to the Stock is true,
correct and complete in all respects. Each Pledgor covenants that it will defend
the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and security interest of
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent, in such Stock against the claims and demands of all other persons
whomsoever. Each Pledgor further covenants that it will have the like title to
and right to pledge and grant a security interest in the Stock Collateral
hereafter pledged or in which a security interest is granted to the
Administrative Agent hereunder and will likewise defend the rights, pledge





                                     - 4 -

and security interest thereof and therein of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent.

         6. DIVIDENDS, VOTING, ETC., PRIOR TO MATURITY. So long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgors shall be
entitled to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Stock solely to
the extent permitted by ss.8.6 of the Credit Agreement, to vote the Stock and to
give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Stock; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given by
the Pledgors if the effect thereof would in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrative Agent impair any of the Stock Collateral or be inconsistent with
or result in any violation of any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the
Notes or any of the other Loan Documents. All such rights of the Pledgors to
receive cash dividends shall cease in case a Default or an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. All such rights of the Pledgors to vote
and give consents, waivers and ratifications with respect to the Stock shall, at
the Administrative Agent's option, as evidenced by the Administrative Agent's
notifying the applicable Pledgor of such election, cease in case a Default or an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

         7. REMEDIES.

                  7.1. IN GENERAL. If a Default or an Event of Default shall
         have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall
         thereafter have the following rights and remedies (to the extent
         permitted by applicable law) in addition to the rights and remedies of
         a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code, all such
         rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable
         alternatively, successively or concurrently, at such time or times as
         the Administrative Agent deems expedient:

                           (a) if the Administrative Agent so elects and gives
                  notice of such election to the applicable Pledgor, the
                  Administrative Agent may vote any or all shares of the Stock
                  (whether or not the same shall have been transferred into its
                  name or the name of its nominee or nominees) for any lawful
                  purpose, including, without limitation, if the Administrative
                  Agent so elects, for the liquidation of the assets of the
                  issuer thereof, and give all consents, waivers and
                  ratifications in respect of the Stock and otherwise act with
                  respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof
                  (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing
                  the Administrative Agent the proxy and attorney-in-fact of
                  such Pledgor, with full power of substitution, to do so);

                           (b) the Administrative Agent may demand, sue for,
                  collect or make any compromise or settlement the





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

                  Administrative Agent deems suitable in respect of any Stock
                  Collateral;

                           (c) the Administrative Agent may sell, resell, assign
                  and deliver, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Stock
                  Collateral, for cash or credit or both and upon such terms at
                  such place or places, at such time or times and to such
                  entities or other persons as the Administrative Agent thinks
                  expedient, all without demand for performance by the
                  applicable Pledgor or any notice or advertisement whatsoever
                  except as expressly provided herein or as may otherwise be
                  required by law;

                           (d) the Administrative Agent may cause all or any
                  part of the Stock held by it to be transferred into its name
                  or the name of its nominee or nominees; and

                           (e) the Administrative Agent may set off against the
                  Obligations any and all sums deposited with it or held by it,
                  including without limitation, any sums standing to the credit
                  of the Cash Collateral Account and any Time Deposits issued by
                  the Administrative Agent.

                  7.2. SALE OF STOCK COLLATERAL. In the event of any disposition
         of the Stock Collateral as provided in clause (c) of ss.7.1, the
         Administrative Agent shall give to the applicable Pledgor at least ten
         (10) Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any
         public sale of the Stock Collateral or of the time after which any
         private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Each
         Pledgor hereby acknowledges that ten (10) Business Days prior written
         notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. The
         Administrative Agent may enforce its rights hereunder without any other
         notice and without compliance with any other condition precedent now or
         hereunder imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise (all of which
         are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgors, to the fullest extent
         permitted by law). The Administrative Agent may buy any part or all of
         the Stock Collateral at any public sale and if any part or all of the
         Stock Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market
         or is of the type which is the subject of widely-distributed standard
         price quotations, the Administrative Agent may buy at private sale and
         may make payments thereof by any means. The Administrative Agent may
         apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other
         disposition to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing
         for sale, selling and the like, to reasonable attorneys' fees, travel
         and all other expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative
         Agent in attempting to collect the Obligations or to enforce this
         Agreement or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding
         related to the subject matter of this Agreement, and then to the
         Obligations.

<PAGE>   7

                  7.3. PRIVATE SALES. Each Pledgor recognizes that the
         Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of the Stock
         by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act,
         federal banking laws, and other applicable laws, but may be compelled
         to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of
         purchasers. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sales may be at
         prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at
         public sales and that such private sales shall not by reason thereof be
         deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
         Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of
         any of the Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer
         of such securities to register such securities for public sale under
         the Securities Act, or such other federal banking or other applicable
         laws, even if the issuer would agree to do so. Subject to the
         foregoing, the Administrative Agent agrees that any sale of the Stock
         shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner, and each Pledgor
         agrees to use its best efforts to cause the issuer or issuers of the
         Stock contemplated to be sold, to execute and deliver, and cause the
         directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all at
         such Pledgor's expense, all such instruments and documents, and to do
         or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary
         or, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to
         exempt such Stock from registration under the provisions of the
         Securities Act, and to make all amendments to such instruments and
         documents which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, 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.

                  7.4. PLEDGORS' AGREEMENTS, ETC. Each Pledgor further agrees to
         do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be
         reasonably necessary to make any sales of any portion or all of the
         Stock pursuant to this ss.7 valid and binding and in compliance with
         any and all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the
         Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
         applicable thereto and all applicable state securities or "Blue Sky"
         laws), regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of
         any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities,
         domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales,
         all at the applicable Pledgor's expense. Each Pledgor further agrees
         that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this ss.7 will cause
         irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that
         the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law
         in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and
         every covenant contained in this ss.7 shall be specifically enforceable
         against the Pledgors by the Administrative Agent and




                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8

         each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses
         against an action for specific performance of such covenants.

         8. MARSHALLING. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for (including
but not limited to this Agreement and the Stock Collateral), or other assurances
of payment of, any or all of the Obligations, or to resort to such collateral
security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. All of the
Administrative Agent's rights hereunder and of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent in respect of such collateral security and other assurances
of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however
existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby
agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral
that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative
Agent'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 Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured,
and to the extent that it lawfully may each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives
the benefits of all such laws.

         9. PLEDGORS' OBLIGATIONS NOT AFFECTED. The obligations of each Pledgor
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not
be impaired by (i) any exercise or nonexercise, or any waiver, by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right, remedy, power or privilege
under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any security thereof (including
this Agreement); (ii) any amendment to or modification of the Credit Agreement,
the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any of the Obligations; (iii) any
amendment to or modification of any instrument (other than this Agreement)
securing any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the
Security Documents; or (iv) the taking of additional security for, or any other
assurances of payment of, any of the Obligations or the release or discharge or
termination of any security or other assurances of payment or performance for
any of the Obligations; whether or not the applicable Pledgor shall have notice
or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

         10. TRANSFER, ETC., BY PLEDGORS. Without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, none of the Pledgors will sell, assign, transfer or
otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or pledge or grant any
security interest in or otherwise encumber or restrict any of the Stock
Collateral or any interest therein, except for the pledge thereof and security
interest therein provided for in this Agreement.

         11. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Pledgor will do all such acts, and will
furnish to the Administrative Agent all such financing statements, certificates,
legal opinions and other documents and will obtain all such governmental
consents and corporate approvals and will do or cause to be done all such other
things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably




                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9

request from time to time in order to give full effect to this Agreement and to
secure the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder, all
without any cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If the
Administrative Agent so elects, a photocopy of this Agreement may at any time
and from time to time be filed by the Administrative Agent as a financing
statement in any recording office in any jurisdiction.

         12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S EXONERATION. Under no circumstances shall
the Administrative Agent be deemed to assume any responsibility for or
obligation or duty with respect to any part or all of the Stock Collateral of
any nature or kind or any matter or proceedings arising out of or relating
thereto, other than (i) to exercise reasonable care in the physical custody of
the Stock Collateral and (ii) after a Default or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing to act in a commercially reasonable manner. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to take any action of
any kind to collect, preserve or protect its or the Pledgors' rights in the
Stock Collateral or against other parties thereto. The Administrative Agent's
prior recourse to any part or all of the Stock Collateral shall not constitute a
condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of any of
the Obligations.

         13. NO WAIVER, ETC. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a written instrument
expressly referring to this Agreement and to the provisions so modified or
limited, and executed by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the
Majority Lenders, and the Pledgors. No act, failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies
hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Administrative Agent
of any default or right or remedy that it may have shall operate as a waiver of
any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a
future occasion. Each Pledgor hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor and
protest of all instruments, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or
the Stock Collateral, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever
(except as expressly provided herein or in the Credit Agreement).

         14. NOTICE, ETC. All notices, requests and other communications
hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in ss.20 of the Credit
Agreement.

         15. TERMINATION. Upon final payment and performance in full of the
Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and the Administrative Agent shall,
at the Pledgors' request and expense, return such Stock Collateral in the
possession or control of the Administrative Agent as has not theretofore been
disposed of pursuant to the provisions hereof, together with any moneys and
other property at the time held by the Administrative Agent hereunder.

         16. OVERDUE AMOUNTS. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the
Pledgors hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Stock Collateral and shall
bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of the default
interest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement.

         17. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK. Each Pledgor agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement
may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or any federal court
sitting therein and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and
to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Pledgors by mail at
the address specified in ss.20 of the Credit Agreement. Each Pledgor hereby
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such
suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.

         18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PLEDGOR WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF
ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, each Pledgor waives
any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in
the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages
or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Each Pledgor (i)
certifies that neither the Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any
representative, agent or attorney of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and
(ii) acknowledges that, in entering into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders are relying upon, among other things, the waivers and
certifications contained in this ss.18.

         19. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) The headings of each section of this Agreement are for
         convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof.
         This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all
         of such counterparts shall together constitute but one agreement. In
         making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or
         account for more than one counterpart signed by each of the parties
         hereto. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall
         be binding upon each Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns,
         and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
         Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. If any term of
         this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
         the validity of all other terms hereof shall be in no way affected
         thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed




                                     - 10 -

         and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term
         had not been included herein. Each Pledgor acknowledges receipt of a
         copy of this Agreement.

                  (b) To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with or
         conflicts with the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall
         control.
