                  (b)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
          continuing, and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the
          Pledgor of the Administrative Agent's intention to exercise its right

          Administrative Agent, be held by the Pledgor separate and apart from
          its other property in trust for the Administrative Agent. The
          Administrative Agent agrees that unless any Event of Default shall
          have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall
          have given the notice referred to in Section 4.4(b), the Pledgor shall
                                               --------------
          have the exclusive voting power with respect to any shares of Capital

          Pledgor which are necessary to allow the Pledgor to exercise voting
          power with respect to any such share of Capital Stock (including,
          without limitation, any of the Pledged Shares) constituting Pledged
          Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent,

                  of the Pledged Subsidiary(ies); or

                  (d)    take or omit to take any action which would result in
                  the creation, incorporation or formation of any direct or

          desirable for the collection of any of the Pledged Collateral or
          otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with
          respect to any of the Pledged Collateral; provided that, with respect
                                                    --------

                  (d)    to perform the affirmative Obligations of the Pledgor
          hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

<PAGE>

     The Administrative Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform or
cause to be performed any act which the Pledgor agrees hereunder to perform and
which the Pledgor fails to perform.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may
from time to time take any other action which the Administrative Agent
reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of
any of the Pledged Collateral or of its security interest therein.  Expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be
                                                      -----------

     Section 5.3  Administrative Agent Has No Duty.
                  --------------------------------

     The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to
protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty on
it to exercise any such powers. Except for the reasonable care of any Pledged
Collateral (subject to Section 5.4) in its possession and the accounting for
                       -----------
moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no
duty as to any Pledged Collateral or responsibility for (a) ascertaining or
taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders
or other matters relative to any Pledged Property, whether or not the
Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b)
taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.

     Section 5.4  Reasonable Care.
                  ---------------

     The Administrative Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Pledged Collateral in its possession;
provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
--------- -------
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Pledged Collateral
if it takes such action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in
writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, but failure of the Administrative Agent to comply with any
such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise
reasonable care.

                                  ARTICLE VI.
                                   REMEDIES

     Section 6.1  Certain Remedies.
                  ----------------

     If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

                  (a)    The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the
          Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided
          for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies
          of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC
          applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) and also may, without
          notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any
          part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
          of the Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
          credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the
          Administrative Agent may

                                       12
<PAGE>

          deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent
          notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten 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 Administrative Agent shall not be
          obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice
          of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent 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.

                  (b)    The Administrative Agent may:

                         (i)    transfer all or any part of the Pledged
                  Collateral into the name of the Administrative Agent or its
                  nominee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with or
                  without disclosing that such Pledged Collateral is subject to
                  the lien and security interest granted hereunder,

                         (ii)   notify the parties obligated on any of the
                  Pledged Collateral to make payment to the Administrative Agent
                  of any amount due or to become due thereunder,

                         (iii)  enforce collection of any of the Pledged
                  Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or
                  exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or
                  renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original
                  period) any Obligations of any nature of any party with
                  respect thereto,

                         (iv)   endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in
                  the Pledgor's name to allow collection of the Pledged
                  Collateral,

                         (v)    take control of any proceeds of the Pledged
                  Collateral, and

                         (vi)   execute (in the name, place and stead of the
                  Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other
                  instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or
                  any of the Pledged Collateral.

All rights and remedies provided for in this Pledge Agreement are cumulative,
and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies.  No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power.

     If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell
all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1, the Pledgor shall,

          Pledged Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and
          officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and
          documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things,
          as may be necessary to register such Pledged Collateral under the
          provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended
          (the "Securities Act"), and to cause the registration statement
          relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such
          period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to
          make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related
          prospectus which, in the reasonable 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;

                  (b)    use its best efforts to qualify the Pledged Collateral
          under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws, and to obtain all
          necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged
          Collateral, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

                  (c)    cause each such issuer to make available to its
          security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that
          will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;
          and

                  (d)    do or cause to be done all such other acts and things
          as may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any
          part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

     Section 6.3  Compliance with Restrictions.
                  ----------------------------

     The Pledgor agrees that in any sale of any of the Pledged Collateral
whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or
restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including, without
limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of
prospective bidders and purchasers, require that prospective bidders and
purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict prospective bidders and
purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for
their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale of such Pledged Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval
of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or
official, 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 Administrative Agent be liable or

                                       14
