time after the date hereof, the Pledgor shall forthwith pledge such Partnership
Interest as security with the Pledgee hereunder and, to the extent such
Partnership Interest is certificated, deliver to the Pledgee certificates
therefor, accompanied by such instruments of transfer as are acceptable to the
Pledgee, and shall promptly thereafter deliver to the Pledgee a certificate
executed by any Authorized Representative of the Pledgor describing such
Partnership Interest and certifying that the same has been duly pledged with the
Pledgee hereunder.

            3.3 Uncertificated Partnership Interests. Notwithstanding anything

that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
appointment.

            5. VOTING, ETC., WHILE NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. Unless and until an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor may exercise
any voting, consent, administration, management and other rights and remedies
under any Partnership Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Partnership
Interests of the Pledgor without the Pledgee's prior written consent unless the
consent or vote involves a matter described in Section 5.1(a)(vi) of each
Partnership Agreement, in which case such consent or vote shall not be exercised
without the Pledgee's prior written consent, provided that the Pledgee shall
respond to any request for its consent within the number of days of the
applicable time period set forth in Section 5.1 of the Partnership Agreement
after a notice containing such request is given to the Pledgee, failing which
the Pledgee's consent shall be deemed given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
rights of the Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications
shall


                                     - 4 -

      of dividend, distribution or otherwise in respect of the Partnership
      Interests; and

            (ii) all other property (including cash) which may be paid in
      respect of the Collateral by reason of any consolidation, merger,
      conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar partnership reorganization.

            7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. In case an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise
all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement
or by any Loan Document or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its
rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled, without
limitation, to exercise the following rights, which the Pledgor hereby agrees to
be commercially reasonable remedies:

            (i) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral
      payable to the Pledgor under Section 6 hereof;

            (ii) to assign or transfer all or any part of the Partnership
      Interests into the Pledgee's name or the name of its nominee or nominees
      after the exercise of its right of sale pursuant to the UCC;

            (iii) to vote all or any part of the Partnership Interests (whether
      or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents,
      waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act
      with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof after
      the exercise of its rights pursuant to the UCC; and

            (iv) at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and deliver,
      or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any
      interest therein, at any public or private sale, held pursuant to the UCC;
      provided that at least 10 days' prior notice of the time and place of any
      such sale shall be given to the Pledgor. The Pledgor hereby waives and
      releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of
      redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale
      hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any
      other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless
      prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid for and purchase all or
      any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of
      redemption. The Pledgee shall not be liable for failure to collect or
      realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor
      shall the Pledgee be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever
      with regard thereto.

            8. REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy of the
Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy.
The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee of any one or more of
the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee
of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the
part of the Pledgee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as
a waiver thereof.

            9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) All Proceeds including all moneys
collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with all other moneys received
by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied as follows:

judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making
the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to
see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or
nonapplication thereof.

            11. INDEMNITY. (a) The Pledgor agrees to indemnify, reimburse and
hold the Pledgee and its successors, assigns, employees, agents and servants

            (b) Without limiting the application of Section 11(a) hereof, the
Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse the Pledgee for any and all reasonable fees,
costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the

interest in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes
in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in
public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of

interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in

or appropriate and wherever required or


                                     - 7 -

permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee's security
interest in the Collateral and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file financing
statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral

such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Pledgee such
additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee
may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of
this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Pledgee its rights,
powers and remedies hereunder.

            13. TRANSFER BY PLEDGOR. The Pledgor will not sell or otherwise
dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise

Agreement and as permitted by the other Loan Documents).

            14. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGOR. The
Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) it is the legal, record and

Agreement or the partnership agreement of the Pledgor or of any partnership
units or securities issued by the Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries, or of any

agreement of any Subsidiary Partnership), instrument or undertaking to which the
Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or which purports to be binding
upon the Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries or upon any of their respective

representation and warranty is made or deemed made, which security interest

security interest in and to the Collateral and the Proceeds thereto against the
claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,
suspended. discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or
occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (i) any renewal,
extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion
from any Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein,
or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (ii) any waiver, consent,
extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any
such Loan Document or other agreement or instrument or this Agreement; (iii) any
furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any
acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its
assignee; (iv) any limitation on any party's liability or obligations under any
such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or
in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or (v) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment. dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the Pledgor, any Subsidiary of
the Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee
or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the Pledgor
shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

            16. REGISTRATION, ETC. (a) If at any time when the Pledgee shall
determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Partnership
Interests pursuant to Section 7 hereof, such Partnership Interests or the part
thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively
registered under the Securities Act, as then in effect, the


                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>

Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Partnership
Interests or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such
circumstances as the Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary or advisable in order
that such sale may legally be effected without such registration; provided, that
at least 10 days' prior notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be
given to the Pledgor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any
such event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion and subject to
compliance with any applicable securities laws and the UCC: (i) may proceed to
make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the
purpose of registering such Partnership Interests or part thereof shall have
been filed under such Securities Act; (ii) may approach and negotiate with a
single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) may restrict such sale
to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing
for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or
sale of such Partnership Interests or part thereof. In the event of any such
sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or
any part of the Partnership Interests at a price which the Pledgee, in its sole
and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the
circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price
might be realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as
aforesaid.

            17. TERMINATION, RELEASE. (a) After the Termination Date (as defined
below), this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth
herein including, without limitation, in Section 11 hereof shall survive any
such termination) and the Pledgee, at the request and expense of the Pledgor,
will promptly execute and deliver to the Pledgor a proper instrument or
instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement,
and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor (without recourse and
without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the
possession of the Pledgee and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise
applied or released pursuant to this Agreement. As used in this Agreement,
"Termination Date" shall mean the date upon which the Commitment has been
terminated, the Revolving Note together with interest thereon, Fees and all
other Obligations then owing under the Credit Agreement and all other Loan
Documents have been indefeasibly and irrevocably repaid in full.

            (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or released
by the Lender and the proceeds of such sale or sales or from such release are
applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent
required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the request and expense of the
Pledgor, will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor (without recourse
and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then
being (or has been) so sold or released and as may be in the possession of the
Pledgee and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

            (c) At any time that the Pledgor desires that Collateral be released
as provided in the foregoing sub-section (a) or (b), it shall deliver to the
Pledgee a certificate signed by an Authorized Representative of the Pledgor
stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to
such subsection (a) or (b).

            18. NOTICES, ETC. Unless otherwise agreed, all notices, requests and
demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in

            20. PLEDGEE NOT BOUND. (a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make
the Pledgee liable as a general partner or limited partner of any Subsidiary
Partnership and the Pledgee by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as
referred to in the following sentence) shall not have any of the duties,
obligations or liabilities of a general partner or limited partner of any
Subsidiary Partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the
Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of a Partnership Interest pursuant
hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint
venture between the Pledgee and the Pledgor.

            (b) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this
Section 20, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a
general partner or limited partner of any Subsidiary Partnership or otherwise be
deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to the Pledgor or any Subsidiary
Partnership either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred but
prior to the time the Pledgee becomes the absolute owner of the Partnership
Interest therein. The Pledgee shall have only those powers set forth herein and
shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a general partner
or limited partner of any Subsidiary Partnership or of the Pledgor prior to the
date that it becomes an absolute owner of the Partnership Interest therein.

            (c) The Pledgee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any
obligation of the Pledgor as a result of the collateral assignment hereby
effected.

            (d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the
rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in
any event obligate the Pledgee to appear in or defend any action or proceeding
relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action
hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform
or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.

            21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the Pledgor (although the Pledgor may not assign its
rights and obligations hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Pledgee and its successors and assigns. The Pledgee may
assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in each
case in full or in part, to a bank, financial institution or other entity, in
which event, upon written notice thereof by the Pledgee to the Pledgor, the
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided
therein), the same rights and benefits as it would have had if it were the
Pledgee hereunder. The Pledgee may furnish any information concerning the
Pledgor, in the possession of the Pledgee from time to time, to assignees
(including prospective assignees), including, without limitation, any and all
documentation relating to the Partnership Interests and the results of the
Pledgee's examination of the operations, books and records of each Subsidiary
Partnership.

ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS EXCEPT FOR THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS OF
THE NEW YORK UCC.

JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND OF
ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND AGREES THAT
VENUE IN EACH OF SUCH COURTS IS PROPER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT OR

RIGHT OF THE PLEDGEE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO
COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE PLEDGOR IN ANY OTHER
PROPER JURISDICTION.

            (c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY

CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT

HOWSOEVER ARISING, BETWEEN THE PLEDGOR AND THE LENDER.

            23. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto individually or in any combination, in one or more counterparts, each of

the same agreement.

laws of any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition, or modified to conform with such laws, without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such
prohibition in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provisions in any
other jurisdiction.

            25. RECOURSE. This Agreement is made with full recourse to the
Pledgor (including. without limitation, with full recourse to all assets of the
Pledgor) and pursuant to and upon the representations, warranties, covenants and
the agreements on the part of the Pledgor contained herein, in the Loan
Documents and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.
