CORPORATIONS, shall operate as a waiver of any term or condition of this PLEDGE
AGREEMENT; 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.

         Section 13.       SALE OF COLLATERAL.

          Section 13.1. TERMS OF SALE. In addition to all other rights and
remedies available to the LENDER pursuant to any other agreements with the
PLEDGOR or as otherwise provided by applicable LAWS, the LENDER, may upon the
occurrence of an EVENT OF DEFAULT sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all
or any portion of the PLEDGED STOCK, in one or more parcels, at public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or at any location
selected by the LENDER, at such prices and on such terms as the LENDER may deem
best for cash or on credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any
credit risk. Any such sale shall be in compliance with all applicable LAWS. Any
purchaser of the PLEDGED STOCK, including the LENDER, shall purchase the PLEDGED
STOCK in whole or in part free of any right or equity of redemption in the
PLEDGOR, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived and released by the
PLEDGOR, to the extent permitted by applicable LAWS. The PLEDGOR acknowledges
that the terms of sale for the PLEDGED STOCK may include: (a) a requirement that
the PLEDGED STOCK be sold to only one individual purchaser for such purchaser's
own account and not as a representative of any purchaser; (b) a requirement that
any purchaser of all or any part of the PLEDGED STOCK represent in writing that
such purchase is purchasing the shares constituting the PLEDGED STOCK for
investment purposes only and without any intention to make a distribution
thereof; (c) a requirement that the certificates for any PLEDGED STOCK bear a
legend to the effect that the stock may not be resold without compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws; and (d) a requirement that any
purchaser of the PLEDGED STOCK make such representations and warranties to the
LENDER as deemed necessary by the LENDER.

          Section 13.2. DELAYS IN SALE; PRIVATE SALES. The PLEDGOR acknowledges
that it will be commercially reasonable for the LENDER to: (a) defer disposing
of all or any portion of the PLEDGED STOCK after an EVENT OF DEFAULT has
occurred for as long as the CORPORATIONS or the LENDER may require to comply
with any requirements of applicable LAWS, notwithstanding the fact that the
value of the PLEDGED STOCK may decline during the time that disposition is
deferred; and (b) sell all or any part of the PLEDGED STOCK at private sale,
subject to investment letter or in any other manner which will not require the
PLEDGED STOCK, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, or any other applicable LAW. The PLEDGOR acknowledges that the
LENDER may, in the LENDER'S sole and absolute discretion, approach a restricted
number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may
yield a lower price for the PLEDGED STOCK


                                       7
<PAGE>


or any portions thereof than would otherwise be obtainable if the PLEDGED STOCK
were registered and sold in the open market. The PLEDGOR acknowledges that a
private sale of the PLEDGED STOCK would be a commercially reasonable sale.

          Section 13.3. LIQUIDATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SALE. As an alternative
to public or private sale of the PLEDGED STOCK, the LENDER may, in the LENDER'S
sole and absolute discretion, elect to dispose of the PLEDGED STOCK after an
EVENT OF DEFAULT by causing either or both of the CORPORATIONS to dissolve,
liquidate, and make liquidating distributions to its stockholders, and such
dissolution and liquidation are hereby acknowledged to be a commercially
reasonable manner of disposing of the PLEDGED STOCK.

          Section 13.4. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF DISPOSITION. The proceeds
from any sale or from any other disposition of the COLLATERAL shall be applied
as follows:

               a. FIRST, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the sale or disposition of the COLLATERAL, including but not limited to all
costs incurred in the care or safekeeping of the COLLATERAL, reasonable
attorneys' fees, broker's commissions, appraiser's fees and other expenses
incurred by the LENDER.

               b. SECOND, to the satisfaction of the OBLIGATIONS regardless of
when the amounts due upon the OBLIGATIONS mature and are due and payable,

               c. THIRD, to the payment of any other amounts required by
applicable LAWS (including, without limitation the requirements of Md. Code
Ann., Commercial Law I ' 9-504(1)(c) (Michie 1992 Repl. Vol.).

               d. FOURTH, to the PLEDGOR to the extent of any surplus proceeds.

         Section 13.5. NOTICE; PROCEDURES OF SALE. The LENDER need not give more
than twenty (20) business days notice of the time and place of any public sale
or of the time after which a private sale of any or all of the COLLATERAL may
take place, which notice the PLEDGOR hereby agrees to be commercially
reasonable. The LENDER shall be entitled to purchase any or all of the
COLLATERAL in any sale in the name or names of the LENDER, or in the name of any
designee or nominee of the LENDER. In connection with any sale or transfer of
any or all of the COLLATERAL, the nominee of the LENDER shall have the right to
execute any document or form, in the name of the LENDER or in the name of the
PLEDGOR, which may be necessary or desirable in order to implement such sale,
including without limitation any forms required pursuant to RULE 144 promulgated
by the Securities And Exchange Commission. The PLEDGOR hereby agrees to
cooperate fully with the LENDER in order to permit the LENDER to sell, at
foreclosure or other private sale, any or all of the COLLATERAL in compliance
with all applicable LAWS.

         Section 14. REMEDIES AND RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies
provided in this PLEDGE AGREEMENT and in the GUARANTY or otherwise provided by
any other agreement between the PLEDGOR and the LENDER shall be cumulative, and
the exercise of any particular right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise
of any other rights or remedies.

unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions or the remaining part of
any effective provisions of this PLEDGE AGREEMENT, and this PLEDGE AGREEMENT
