modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Note
or any other Document or any instrument or document relating thereto;

                  (f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or
nonperfection of any collateral (including the Collateral), or any amendment to
or waiver or release of or addition to or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for any of the Secured Obligations; or

                  (g) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a

                      ---------------

to the Lender of any Collateral, as set forth in this Article:

                  (a) Ownership, No Liens, etc. The Pledgor is the legal and
beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to (and has full right and
authority to pledge and assign) such Collateral, free and clear of all Liens,
except any Lien in favor of the Lender.

                  (b) Valid Security Interest. The delivery by the Pledgor of
such Pledged Shares accompanied by duly executed, undated blank stock powers to
the Lender is effective to create a valid, perfected, first priority security
interest in such Collateral (except, if applicable, as set forth in Attachment
I) and all proceeds thereof, securing the Secured Obligations, and no filing or
other action will be necessary to perfect or protect such security interest. All
the Pledged Shares issued by the Lender are "certificated securities" as that
term is defined in Section 8-102 of the U.C.C.

                  (c) Execution, etc. This Pledge Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Pledgor, and constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance
with its terms. No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice or
filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or any other Person is
required either: (i) for the pledge by the Pledgor of any Collateral pursuant to
this Pledge Agreement or for the due execution, delivery and performance of this
Pledge Agreement by the Pledgor, or (ii) for the disposition of such Pledged


                                     - 5 -

Shares pursuant to the exercise by the Lender of the remedies in this Pledge
Agreement except by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally.

                  (d) No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Pledgor of this Pledge Agreement and compliance by the Pledgor with all
of the provisions hereof does not and will not contravene any law or any order
of any court or governmental authority or agency applicable to or binding on the
Pledgor or any of the Pledgor's properties, or contravene the provisions of, or
constitute a default (or event of default) with or without the passage of time,
by the Pledgor under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon the property of
the Pledgor under any material mortgage, contract or other agreement or
instrument to which the Pledgor is a party, or by which the Pledgor or any of
the Pledgor's property is bound or affected.

                                    COVENANTS

                      -------------------------------------------
will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or encumber in any other manner the
Collateral except in favor of the Lender hereunder. The Pledgor agrees that at
any time, and from time to time, at the expense of the Lender, the Pledgor will
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, and take all further
action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Lender may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

         SECTION 4.2. Stock Powers, etc. The Pledgor agrees that (a) all Pledged
                      -----------------
Shares delivered by the Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement will be
accompanied by duly executed, undated blank stock powers, or other equivalent
instruments of transfer acceptable to the Lender and (b) in the event that any
capital stock constituting Collateral is pursuant to Section 2.3 delivered to
                                                     -----------
the Lender, such Pledgor shall duly execute, upon the request of the Lender,
undated blank stock powers or other equivalent instruments of transfer
acceptable to the Lender. The Pledgor will, from time to time upon the request
of the Lender, promptly deliver to the Lender such stock powers, instruments,
and similar documents, satisfactory in form and substance to the Lender, with
respect to the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request and will, from
time to time upon the request of the Lender after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, promptly transfer any Pledged Shares or
other shares of capital stock constituting Collateral into the name of the
Lender or any nominee designated by the Lender.

         SECTION 4.3. Continuous Pledge. Subject to Section 2.4, the Pledgor
                      -----------------             -----------

Shares and all other shares of capital stock constituting Collateral, and

                       -------------

                  (a) Without any request therefor by the Lender (properly
endorsed where required hereby or requested by the Lender), the Lender shall be
entitled to receive and retain all Collateral, all of which shall be held by the
Lender as additional Collateral for use in accordance with Section 5.3.
                                                           -----------

                  (b) In the event that any Collateral is held by the Pledgor
but which the Lender is then entitled to receive and retain, such Collateral
shall, pending delivery to the Lender, be held by the Pledgor separate and apart
from its other property in trust for the Lender.

                                    REMEDIES

         SECTION 5.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have
                      ----------------
occurred and be continuing, Lender's sole and exclusive recourse and remedy with
respect to the Secured Obligations, this Agreement and the Note shall be to
proceed solely against the Collateral as provided herein, without any personal
liability of any kind to the Pledgor (excluding in each case, the interest under
the Note), and subject to the following:

                  (a) The Lender may exercise solely in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it solely in respect to the Collateral, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party on default under the U.C.C. (whether or not the
U.C.C. applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except
as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere,
for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the
Lender may deem commercially reasonable. The Lender may, to the extent permitted
by Section 9-610 of the U.C.C., be the purchaser of any of the Collateral so
sold and the obligations of the Pledgor to the Lender may be applied as a credit
against the purchase price. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least 15 days' prior notice to the Pledgor of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon
any such sale, the Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer
to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser (including the
Lender) at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from
any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of
redemption of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby specifically waives, to the
extent it may lawfully do so, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which
it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
adopted.

                  (b)      The Lender may:

                           (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral in the
name of the Lender or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such
Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest hereunder;

                           (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the
Collateral to make payment to the Lender of any amount due or to become due
thereunder;

                           (iii) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by
suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof,

Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.

                  (c) In the event the Lender exercises any rights or remedies
against the Collateral as provided in this Article 5, it shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to exercise such rights or remedies in the following order:

                           (i) first, against the Purchased Shares which are
Forfeitable Shares (as defined in the Restricted Stock Agreement),

                           (ii) second, against the Purchased Shares which are
Non-Forfeitable Shares (as defined in the Restricted Stock Agreement),

                           (iii) third, against the other Non-Forfeitable Shares
(as defined in the Restricted Stock Agreement) and

                           (iv) fourth, against the other Collateral.

         SECTION 5.2. Compliance with Restrictions. The Pledgor agrees that in
                      ----------------------------
any sale of any of the Collateral whenever any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any
limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by
counsel is necessary to avoid any violation of applicable law (including
compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective
bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers
have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and
purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for


                                     - 8 -

their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale of such Collateral), or to obtain any required approval of the sale or of
the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official or any third
party, and the Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in
such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner, nor shall the Lender be liable nor accountable to the Pledgor
for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold
in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

         SECTION 5.3. Application of Collateral Proceeds. If any Event of
                      ----------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all cash proceeds received by the
Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral shall promptly be applied (after payment of
any amounts payable to the Lender pursuant to Section 5.4) by the Lender against
the Secured Obligations in the following order: (i) following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), all
costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the
