         Section 6.01. Continuing Security. The security created by this
Agreement shall be held by Lender, as a continuing security for the payment and
performance of all of the Obligations (whether existing on the date of this
Agreement or arising from time to time thereafter). This Agreement, all of the
rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Lender hereunder and the security
created hereby shall be in addition to, and shall not in any way be prejudiced
or affected by, any other collateral or any other security now or at any time or
times hereafter held by Lender for all or any part of the Obligations. Each and
every right, remedy, power and privilege conferred on or reserved to Lender
hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to, and not in limitation of, each
and every other right, remedy, power or privilege conferred on or reserved to
Lender under this Agreement or under the Loan Documents. All of the rights,
remedies, powers and privileges vested in Lender hereunder may be exercised at
such time or times and in such order and manner as Lender may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deem expedient.

         Section 6.02. Waivers of Notice; Assent. The agreements and obligations
of Pledgor to Lender hereunder and the security constituted hereby shall not be,

of the Note, or the making of the Loans by Lender; (c) any extension or

addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any security for all
or any part of the Obligations, or the addition, substitution or release, in

events, conditions, matters and things hereinbefore specified in clauses (a) to
(e), inclusive, of the foregoing sentence of this Section 6.02.

         Section 6.03. No Implied Waivers. No course of dealing between Pledgor
and Lender, and no delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or provided by statute or by law or in equity or
otherwise, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right,
remedy, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any default or as an
acquiescence therein; and any single or partial exercise of any such right,
remedy, power or privilege shall not preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other rights, remedies, powers or privileges.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                           ENFORCEMENT OF THE SECURITY

         Section 7.01. Conditions of Enforceability of the Security. If any
default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations shall at any
time occur, the security constituted by this Agreement shall become immediately
enforceable by Lender, without any presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly and irrevocably waived by
Pledgor.

         Section 7.02. Evidence of Obligations. In any legal proceedings against
Pledgor for enforcing any agreements or obligations of Pledgor under this
Agreement, a certificate of Lender as to the aggregate amount of all of the
Obligations shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

         Section 7.03. Manner of Enforcement of Security. Lender shall have, in
any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, all of the rights, remedies,
powers and privileges conferred on Lender, as secured party, under the Uniform
Commercial Code of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Lender shall have the full right and power in
respect of the Collateral or any part thereof in Lender's sole and complete
discretion to do all and any of the following things:

                  (a) to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof,
wherever the same may be, without legal process and without compliance with any
other condition precedent imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise (all of
which Pledgor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives), and to call in, collect,
convert into money or otherwise deal with the Collateral or any part thereof
with full power to sell (including the power to postpone such sale) the
Collateral or any part thereof, either together or in lots, and either by public
auction or private contract, and either for a lump sum or for a sum payable by
installments or for a sum on account 



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

and a mortgage or charge or pledge for the balance, and with full power upon
every sale to make any special or other stipulation as to title or evidence
thereof or otherwise which Lender shall deem proper, and with full power to buy
in or rescind or vary any contract for sale of the Collateral or any part
thereof and to resell the same without being responsible for any loss which may
be occasioned thereby, and with full power to compromise and effect
compositions, and, for the purposes aforesaid or any of them, to execute and do
all such assurances and things as Lender may deem appropriate;

                  (b) to settle, adjust, compromise and arrange all accounts,
reckonings, controversies, questions, claims and demands whatsoever in relation
to all or any part of the Collateral;

                  (c) to cause all or any of the Pledged Shares and all or any
other Collateral to be sold, assigned or transferred to Lender or to any other
person or persons and to be recorded or registered in the name of Lender or any
other person or persons and to exercise or permit the exercise of any powers or
rights incident to all or any part of the Collateral in such manner as Lender
shall deem appropriate, and, in respect of all or any of the Pledged Shares, to
exercise or permit the exercise of all rights and powers conferred by statute or
otherwise upon a registered holder or owner of record thereof, including,
without limitation, the calling or causing to be called of meetings, and
proposing or causing to be proposed of resolutions (whether ordinary or special
resolutions), including resolutions for winding up and voting at meetings;

                  (d) to execute and do all such contracts, agreements, deeds,
documents and things, and to bring, defend and abandon all such actions, suits
and proceedings in relation to all or any part of the Collateral as Lender shall
deem expedient;

                  (e) to appoint managers, agents, officers and servants for any
of the purposes mentioned in the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.03 for
such periods as Lender shall deem appropriate and to dismiss the same; and

                  (f) generally, to do all such other acts and things as may be
considered incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers mentioned in
the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.03 and which Lender may or can do
lawfully and to use the name of Pledgor for the purposes aforesaid and in any
proceedings arising therefrom.

         Section 7.04. Cooperation of Pledgor. Pledgor recognizes that the
Pledged Shares are not readily marketable and may not be marketable at all if
any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations shall occur
and be continuing. In order, therefore, to enable Lender to use such means as
Lender may determine necessary or advisable to realize upon the Collateral from
time to time, and in order to induce Lender to make the Loans to Pledgor in
reliance upon the Collateral, Pledgor hereby absolutely and irrevocably consents
that Lender may use whatever means Lender may reasonably consider necessary or
advisable to sell any or all of the Collateral at any time or times after the
security constituted by this Agreement shall have become enforceable, including,
without limitation, the giving of options to purchase any or all of the
Collateral and the giving of credit to any purchaser of the Collateral. Because
there is no established market for the Collateral and because it may be unlikely
that any person will become 



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

or be interested in purchasing the Collateral as a result of the giving of any
notice of public sale, Pledgor agrees that any sale of the Collateral may be
private and without competitive bidding.

         Section 7.05. Notice of Sale. Lender will give Pledgor at least five
(5) days' prior written notice of the time and place of any public or private
sale of all or any part of the Collateral or of the time after which any private
sale or any other intended disposition of all or any part of the Collateral is
to be made. Pledgor hereby absolutely and irrevocably agrees with Lender that
any notice of any public or private sale or other disposition given by Lender to
Pledgor in accordance with the preceding sentence of this Section 7.05 shall be,
and shall for all purposes be deemed to be, reasonable notice.

         Section 7.06. Protection of Persons Dealing with Lender. No purchaser,
mortgagor, mortgagee, Lender, debtor or other person dealing with Lender or with
any attorney or agent of Lender shall be concerned to enquire (a) whether the
security constituted by this Agreement has become enforceable, (b) whether any
power exercised or purported to be exercised hereunder has become exercisable,
(c) whether any moneys remain due upon the security of this Agreement, (d) as to
the propriety, regularity or purpose of the exercise of any power hereunder, or
(e) as to the application of any moneys paid to Lender or to any such attorney
or agent.

         Section 7.07. Protection of Security. In addition to the rights and
powers hereinabove given, Lender may, whether or not any default in the payment
or performance of any of the Obligations shall have occurred and whether or not
the security constituted by this Agreement shall have become enforceable, enter
into possession of and hold any part of the Collateral which may at any time
appear to Lender in danger of being taken under any process of law by any
creditor of Pledgor or to be in jeopardy or otherwise endangered.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                       APPLICATION OF MONEYS IN COLLATERAL

         All moneys realized by Lender after the security constituted by this
Agreement shall have become enforceable as well as all moneys then held or at
any time or times thereafter received by Lender as realizations of all or any
part of the Collateral shall be held by Lender to apply the same as follows;

         FIRST: in or towards the payment and discharge of all (if any) debts,
damages and liabilities, the payment of which shall be secured by any
assignments, pledges, mortgages, security interests, charges, liens or other
encumbrances having priority over the rights of Lender in and to such moneys;

         SECOND: in or towards the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
reimbursement of Lender for or in respect of, all costs, expenses, disbursements
and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by Lender in or about or
incidental to the collection of such moneys by Lender or the exercise,
protection or enforcement by Lender of all or any of the rights, remedies,
powers and privileges of Lender under this Agreement or in respect of the
Collateral and in or 



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

towards the provision of adequate indemnity to Lender against all taxes or liens

rights cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated by way of damages in any
action at law, and any material breach by Pledgor of any of Pledgor's covenants,
agreements or obligations under this Agreement will cause Lender irreparable
injury and damage. In the event of any such breach, Lender shall be entitled, as
a matter of right, to injunctive relief or other equitable relief in any court
of competent jurisdiction to prevent the violation or contravention of any of
the provisions of this Agreement or to compel compliance with the terms of this
Agreement by the Pledgor. Lender is absolutely and irrevocably authorized and
empowered by Pledgor to demand specific performance of each of the covenants and
agreements of Pledgor in this Agreement. Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives any
defense based on the adequacy of any remedy at law which might otherwise be
asserted by Pledgor as a bar to the remedy of specific performance in any action
brought by Lender against Pledgor to enforce any of the covenants or agreements
of Pledgor in this Agreement.

as a sealed instrument. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts without reference to its conflicts of laws rules.

sections and subsections, and of exhibits, are for convenience of reference only
and will not be considered in the construction or interpretation hereof.

number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all
of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto as of July 23, 1997.
