capital stock (or other ownership interests) of each such Subsidiary so acquired
or created to Bank.

         (2) Company will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any
of the Collateral or any interest therein or offer to do so without the prior
written consent of Bank, or permit anything to be done that may materially
impair the value of any of the Collateral or the security intended to be
afforded by this Stock Pledge.

         (3) Company will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit
Agreement, pay all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or for its use or
operation before any interest or penalty for nonpayment attaches thereto unless
said payment is being contested in good faith and it establishes a reserve as
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

         (4) Company will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit
Agreement, sign and execute alone or with Bank any financing statement or other
document or procure any documents and pay all reasonable connected costs,

         (5) Company will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit
Agreement, reimburse Bank for all reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred for any action taken by Bank to remedy an Event of
Default which Bank elects to remedy pursuant to its rights under Article VI
hereof.

         (6) Company will:

         (i) subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, allow Bank
to examine, audit and inspect Company's books, accounts, records (including
without limitation all records relating to the Collateral or the Indebtedness),

request of Bank, and to make and take away copies of any and all such books,
accounts, records and ledgers;

         (ii) punctually and properly perform all of its covenants and duties
under any other security agreement, mortgage, collateral pledge agreement or
contract of any kind now or hereafter existing as security for or in connection
with payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof;

         (iii) perform its obligations under the Loan Documents;

         (iv) promptly furnish Bank with any information in writing which Bank
may reasonably request concerning the Collateral;

<PAGE>

         (v) promptly notify Bank of any material change in any fact or
circumstances warranted or represented by Company in this Stock Pledge or in any
other writing furnished by Company to Bank in connection with the Collateral or
the Indebtedness;

         (vi) promptly notify Bank of any material claim, action or proceeding
affecting the Collateral and title therein, or in any part thereof, or the
security interest created herein, and, at the request of the Bank, appear in and
defend, at Company's expense, any such action or proceeding; and

         (vii) promptly, after being requested by Bank, pay to Bank the amount
of all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal
expenses, incurred by Bank in protecting and maintaining the Collateral or its
rights hereunder, or in connection with any audit or inspection of the
Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, and in enforcing the security interest
created herein.

         (7) With respect to any Collateral of a kind requiring an additional
security agreement, financing statement, or other writing to perfect a security
interest therein in favor of Bank, Company will forthwith execute and deliver to
Bank whatever the Bank shall deem necessary or proper for such purpose. Should
any covenant, duty or agreement of Company fail to be performed in accordance
with its terms hereunder, Bank may, but shall never be obligated to, perform or
attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Company, and
any amount expended by Bank in such performance or attempted performance shall
become part of the Indebtedness, and, at the request of Bank, Company agrees to
pay such amount to Bank upon demand at Bank's office in Detroit, Michigan
together with interest thereon at the highest rate which interest accrues on
amounts after the same become due pursuant to the terms of any note executed
pursuant to the Credit Agreement from the date of such expenditure by Bank until
paid. With respect to any Collateral in which Company acquires any rights
subsequent to the date hereof and which, under applicable law, a security
interest is or can be perfected by possession, Company agrees to deliver
possession of such Collateral to Bank immediately upon its acquisition of rights
therein.

         (8) Company will hold the proceeds of any of the Collateral in trust
for Bank, will not commingle said proceeds with any other funds, and, after an
Event of Default, will deliver such proceeds to Bank at its request.

         (9) If Bank, acting in its sole discretion, redelivers any Collateral
to Company or Company's designee for the purpose of

         (i) the ultimate sale or exchange thereof, or

         (ii) presentation, collection, renewal, or registration of transfer
thereof, such redelivery shall not constitute a release of Bank's security
interest therein or in the proceeds thereof unless Bank, specifically so agrees
in writing.

         (10) If Company requests any such redelivery, Company will deliver with
such request a duly executed financing statement in form and substance
satisfactory to Bank.

any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

         V. Consequence of Default.

other document executed in connection with the Credit Agreement or this Stock
Pledge, or provided by law. Additionally, upon an Event of Default and subject

Pledge, and may change the registration of any registerable Collateral to any
other name or form and is hereby authorized to appoint any officer or agent of

evidencing the Collateral pledged hereby; to endorse Company's name or any of
its officers' names or agents' names upon any notes, checks, drafts, money

to give written notice to such office and officials of the United States Post
Office to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to

financing statements, amendments, subordinations or other filings pursuant to
the Credit Agreement; granting unto Bank, as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of
Company, full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about
the premises as fully and effectually as Company might or could do, and hereby
ratifying all that said proxy and attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. The proxy and power of attorney described herein shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of
the Credit Agreement, and all transactions thereunder and thereafter as long as
any Indebtedness or any of the commitments to lend remain outstanding. The Bank
shall have full power, subject to applicable law to collect, to compromise, to
endorse, to sell or otherwise to deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof on

lease, rental agreement, land contract or other document which in any way

payments and expenses shall be secured by the security intended to be afforded
by this Stock Pledge.

         C. Remedies and Enforcement. Bank shall have and may exercise any and
all rights of enforcement and remedies afforded to a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in force in the State of Michigan, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, on the date of this Stock Pledge or the date
of Company's default together with any and all other rights and remedies
otherwise provided and available to Bank by law unless such application would
result in the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof, in which
case the law of the state in which any of the Collateral is located shall apply
to the extent necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable; and, in
conjunction with, in addition to, or substitution for those rights, at Bank's
discretion, Bank may:

         (1) Apply any of the Collateral against any of the Indebtedness secured

due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or

original period) the indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request
of the Bank, Company will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated to
Company on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Bank of any amounts due
or to become due thereunder. Company agrees that Bank shall not be liable for
any loss or damage which Company suffers or may suffer as a result of Bank's
processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this
Stock Pledge, including without limitation indirect, special or consequential
damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any
third party not related to or affiliated with Company arising out of or in
connection with the processing of items (excluding only the claims of such third
parties in connection with the processing of items based solely upon the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Bank) or the exercise of any other rights or
remedies hereunder. Company further agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless
from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, including
without limitation litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

         D. Right of Sale.

         (1) Company agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(taking into account applicable periods of cure, if any), Bank may, at its
option, sell and dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale without any
previous demand of performance.

Company agrees that notice of such sale sent to Company's address, as set forth
in the Credit Agreement, by certified or registered mail sent at least five (5)
days prior to such sale, shall constitute reasonable notice of sale. The
foregoing shall not require notice if none is necessary under applicable law.
The proceeds of sale shall be applied in the following order:

         (i) to all reasonable costs and charges incurred by Bank in the taking
and causing the removal and sale of said property, including such reasonable
attorneys' fees as shall have been incurred by Bank;

         (ii) to the Indebtedness, including all accrued interest thereon; and

         (iii) any surplus of such proceeds remaining shall be paid to the
Company, or to such other party who shall lawfully be entitled thereto.

         (2) At any sale or sales made pursuant to this Stock Pledge or in a
suit to foreclose the same, the Collateral may be sold en masse or separately;
at the same or at different times, at the option of the Bank or its assigns.
Such sale may be public or private with notice as required by the Uniform
Commercial Code as then in effect in the state in which the Collateral is
located, and the Collateral need not be present at the time or place of sale. At
any such sale, the Bank or the holder of any note hereby secured may bid for and
purchase any of the property sold, notwithstanding that such sale is conducted
by the Bank or its attorneys, agents, or assigns.

         E. Miscellaneous. Bank shall have the right at all times to enforce the
provisions of this Stock Pledge in strict accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of Bank in refraining from so
doing at any time or times. The failure of Bank at any time or times to enforce
its rights under said provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not
be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the
specific provisions of this Stock Pledge or as having in any way or manner
modified the same. All rights and remedies of Bank are cumulative and
concurrent, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver
or release of any other right or remedy.

         VII. Representations and Warranties of Company.

         Company represents and warrants, as continuing representations and
warranties so long as the Guaranty remains in effect, that:

assurances as to prove its title to the Collateral as may be reasonably required

         E. This Stock Pledge shall be a continuing security interest in every
respect (whether or not the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness is reduced
