or filing with, any governmental authority on the part of Pledgor is required in
connection with the pledge and security interest granted under this Agreement or
the exercise by Pledgee of the voting and other rights provided for in this
Agreement;

                  (h) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by Pledgor will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or
of any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or
governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or of the charter or by-laws of
Pledgor or of any Subsidiary, or of any securities issued by any Subsidiary, or
of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or
undertaking to which Pledgor or any Subsidiary is a party or which purports to
be binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary or upon any of their respective

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
                  (i) The pledge, assignment and delivery to Pledgee of the
Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid first lien on and
a first perfected security interest in such Pledged Collateral and the proceeds
thereof in favor of Pledgee, for the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, subject
to no prior pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge,
option or encumbrance or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party
a security interest in the property or assets of Pledgor which would include the
Pledged Collateral. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend Pledgee's
right, title and security interest in and to the Pledged Collateral and the
proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and

                  (j) the membership interests in those Subsidiaries which are

Subsidiaries' operating agreements do not provide that such membership interests
constitute "securities" within the meaning of the UCC.

                  Section 4. Stock Dividends, Distributions, etc. If, while this
Agreement is in effect, Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall
receive any stock or membership interest certificate (including, without
limitation, any certificate representing a stock or membership interest
dividend, a stock split or a stock or membership interest distribution in
connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, or
issued in connection with any reorganization), or any options or rights, whether
as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the Pledged
Collateral, or otherwise, Pledgor agrees to accept the same as Pledgee's agent
and to hold the same in trust for Pledgee, and to deliver the same forthwith to
Pledgee in the exact form received, with the endorsement of Pledgor when
necessary and/or appropriate undated stock or membership interest, as
applicable, powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee, for the
benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, subject to the terms hereof, as additional
Pledged Collateral. In case any distribution of capital stock or membership
interests shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any
property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Collateral
pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital stock or
membership interest of the issuer thereof or pursuant to the reorganization
thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to Pledgee to be held by
it as additional Pledged Collateral. Except as provided in subsection 5(a)(ii)
below, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the
Pledged Collateral which are received by Pledgor shall, until paid or delivered
to Pledgee, be held by Pledgor in trust as additional Pledged Collateral.

                  Section 5. Administration of Security. The following
provisions shall govern the administration of the Pledged Collateral:

                  (a) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing,
Pledgor shall be entitled (subject to the other provisions hereof, including,
without limitation, Section 8 below):


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                           (i) to vote or consent with respect to Pledged
Collateral in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Loan
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements; and

                           (ii) to receive cash dividends or other distributions
in the ordinary course made in respect of the Pledged Collateral, to the extent
permitted to be paid pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

                  Pledgor hereby grants to Pledgee or its nominee, on behalf of
Lenders, an irrevocable proxy to exercise all voting and corporate and limited
liability company rights relating to the Pledged Collateral in any instance,
including, without limitation, to approve any merger involving Pledgor or any
Subsidiary as a constituent corporation, which proxy shall only be effective
immediately upon written notice from Pledgee to Pledgor of the occurrence, and
shall remain effective during the continuance, of a Default. After the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default and upon the request of
Pledgee, Pledgor agrees to deliver to Pledgee, on behalf of Lenders, such
further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies
to vote the Pledged Collateral as Pledgee may request.

                  (b) If requested by the Pledgee during the continuance of a
Default, in the event that Pledgor, as record and beneficial owner of the
Pledged Collateral, shall have received or shall have become entitled to
receive, any cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course,
Pledgor shall deliver to Pledgee, for the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders,
and Pledgee, for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, shall be
entitled to receive and retain, all such cash or other distributions as
additional Pledged Collateral.

                  (c) Subject to any sale or other disposition by Pledgee, on
behalf of the Lenders, of any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement, such Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to Pledgor upon full
payment in cash, satisfaction and termination of all of the Liabilities (other
than indemnification Liabilities pursuant to subsection 10.19 of the Loan
Agreement to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have then been asserted
against any Indemnitee) and the termination of the lien and security interest
hereby granted pursuant to Section 14 hereof.

                  Section 6. Rights of Pledgee. Neither Pledgee nor any of the
Lenders shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Liabilities
or any collateral security or guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or for any
delay in so doing, nor shall Pledgee or any of the Lenders be under any
obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Any or all of the
Pledged Collateral held by Pledgee hereunder may, if a Default has occurred and
is continuing, be registered in the name of Pledgee or its nominee and Pledgee
or its nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate
or limited liability company rights at any meeting with respect to Pledgor and
any Subsidiary and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange,
subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the
Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without
limitation, the right to vote


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged
Collateral upon, the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
other readjustment with respect to Pledgor or any Subsidiary or upon the
exercise by Pledgor or Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to
any of the Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, to deposit and
deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository,
transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and
conditions as Pledgee may determine, all without liability except to account for
property actually received by Pledgee, but Pledgee shall have no duty to
exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

                  Section 7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, Pledgee, without demand of performance or other
demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below
of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Pledgor or any other
person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby
expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon
the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign,
give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
(including, without limitation, the disposition by merger) and deliver said
Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more portions at public or
private sale or sales or transactions, at any exchange, broker's board or at any
of Pledgee's offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Pledgee may
deem commercially reasonably and at such prices as it may deem best, for any
combination of cash and/or securities or other property or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right to Pledgee
upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any
part of said Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived or
released. Pledgee, for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, shall
apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization, sale or disposition, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the safekeeping of any
and all of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of
Pledgee or any of the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and legal expenses, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the Liabilities as
follows:

                  first, to payment of all expenses payable or reimbursable by
Pledgor under the Loan Agreement and other Financing Agreements;

                  second, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the
Liabilities;

                  third, to payment of principal of the Liabilities; and

                  fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting
Obligations.

                  Only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the
payment by Pledgee of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including, without limitation, Section 9-


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
504(1) (c) of the UCC, need Pledgee, on behalf of the Lenders, account for the
surplus, if any, to Pledgor. Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency
remaining unpaid after such application. Pledgor agrees that Pledgee need not
give more than ten (10) Business Days' notice of the time and place of any
public sale or of the time after which a private sale or other intended
disposition is to take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of
such matters. No notification need be given to Pledgor if Pledgor has signed
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default a statement
renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended
disposition. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to Pledgee for the
benefit of the Lenders in this Agreement and in any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Liabilities, Pledgee
and the Lenders shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC and under any other applicable law. Pledgor further agrees to waive and
agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section
9-112 of the UCC and Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to
pay the Liabilities in full.

                  Section 8. No Disposition, etc. Without the prior written
consent of Pledgee, Pledgor agrees that Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer,
exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the
Pledged Collateral, nor will Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any
pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any
other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or any interest
therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest
provided for by this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Pledgee,
Pledgor agrees that it will not vote to enable, and will not otherwise permit,
any Subsidiary to (a) issue any stock, membership interests or other securities
of any nature in addition to or in exchange or substitution for the Pledged
Collateral or (b) dissolve, liquidate, retire any of its capital stock or
membership interests, reduce its capital or merge or consolidate with any other
Person, in either case except as specifically permitted by the Loan Agreement.

                  Section 9. Sale of Pledged Collateral.

                  (a) Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee, for its own benefit and
on behalf of Lenders, may be unable to effect a public sale or disposition
(including, without limitation, any disposition in connection with a merger of
any Subsidiary) of any or all of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable state securities laws, but
may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales or dispositions thereof
to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Pledgor shall not be required to register the Pledged Collateral
under the Act or applicable state or foreign securities laws. Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale or disposition may result in
prices and other terms (including the terms of any securities or other property
received in connection therewith) less favorable to the seller than if


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
such sale or disposition were a public sale or disposition and, notwithstanding
such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale or disposition shall be
deemed to be reasonable and affected in a commercially reasonable manner.
Pledgee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale or disposition of any of
the Pledged Collateral in order to permit Pledgor or any Subsidiary to register
such collateral for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state
securities laws, even if Pledgor or any Subsidiary would agree to do so.

                  (b) Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such
other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales or
dispositions of any portion or all of the Pledged Collateral valid and binding
and in compliance with any and all applicable 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 or dispositions, all at Pledgor's expense, except that
Pledgor shall not be required to register the Pledged Collateral under the Act
or applicable state or foreign securities laws. Pledgor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 2, 4, 5(b), 8, 9 or 10
hereof will cause irreparable injury to Pledgee and the Lenders, that Pledgee
and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
a consequence, agrees, without limiting the right of Pledgee to seek and obtain
specific performance of other obligations of Pledgor contained in this
Agreement, that each and every covenant referenced above shall be specifically
enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert
any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except
for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

                  (c) Pledgor further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Pledgee and the Lenders, each of their respective successors and assigns,
officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys and any Person in control
of any thereof, from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees (collectively called
the "Indemnified Liabilities"), under federal and state securities laws or
otherwise insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense:

                           (i) arises out of or is based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus or offering memorandum or in any preliminary
prospectus or preliminary offering memorandum or in any amendment or supplement
to any of the foregoing or in any other writing, in each case which has been
prepared by Pledgor, in connection with the offer, sale or resale of all or any
portion of the Pledged Collateral unless such untrue statement of material fact
was provided by Pledgee specifically for inclusion therein; or

                           (ii) arises out of or is based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
such indemnification to remain operative regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of Pledgee, or any successor thereof or any Person in control of
any thereof. In connection with a public sale or other distribution, Pledgor
will provide customary indemnification to any underwriters, their respective
successors and assigns, their respective officers and directors and each Person
who controls any such underwriter (within the meaning of the Act). If and to the
extent that the foregoing undertakings in this Section 9(c) may be unenforceable
for any reason, Pledgor agrees to make maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. The obligations of Pledgor under this Section 9(c) shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 10. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that at any
time and from time to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, Pledgor will
execute and deliver all stock powers, financing statements and such further
documents and do such further acts and things as Pledgee may reasonably request
consistent with the provisions hereof in order to effect the purposes of this
Agreement.

                  Section 11. Certification of Membership Interests. The Pledgor
covenants that the Pledgor will not cause or permit its limited liability
company membership interests to be evidenced by any certificate or instrument.

                  Section 12. [Intentionally Omitted.]

                  Section 13. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

                  Section 14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Pledgee
nor any of the Lenders shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed
to have waived any of its remedies hereunder, and no waiver by Pledgee or any
Lender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Pledgee or such Lender and
then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Pledgee or any Lender of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to any right or remedy which Pledgee, or such Lender, would otherwise have
on any further occasion. No course of dealing between Pledgor and Pledgee or any
Lender, and no failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of
Pledgee or any Lender of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the
Financing Agreements, shall impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

                  Section 15. Successors. This Agreement and all obligations of
Pledgor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of
Pledgor, and shall,


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
together with the rights and remedies of Pledgee and the Lenders hereunder,
inure to the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders and their successors and
assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have any right to assign its obligations
