<PAGE>

          WHEREAS, Pledgor now agrees to pledge 100% of the issued and

Securities Pledge Agreement provides the terms and conditions upon which the
Replacement Note is secured by a pledge to Pledgee of the Pledged Securities.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and
for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Pledgor and Pledgee hereby agree as follows:

          1.   Pledge. Pledgor hereby pledges to Pledgee, and grants to Pledgee
               ------
a security interest in the Pledged Securities as security for the prompt and
complete payment when due of the unpaid principal of and interest on the
Replacement Note and full payment and performance of the obligations and
liabilities of Pledgor hereunder. Upon an event of default on the Replacement
Note, Pledgee shall have all of the rights of a secured creditor.

          2.   Delivery of Pledged Securities. Upon the execution of this Second
               ------------------------------
Restated Securities Pledge Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to First National
Bank, the U.S. escrow agent of Pledgee any certificate(s) representing the
Pledged Securities and duly executed forms of assignment sufficient to transfer
title thereto to Pledgee. The escrow agent shall hold the Pledged Shares in
accordance with an escrow agreement mutually agreeable to the parties hereto.
Pledgor further agrees to deliver upon execution hereof to counsel to Pledgee
UCC-1 financing statements which shall identify the Pledged Securities as 100%
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ADM, including the number of
issued and outstanding shares, together with all proceeds of the Pledged
Securities. The UCC-1 financing statements shall be filed in the appropriate
recording offices in Massachusetts and Delaware.

          3.   Voting Rights; Cash Dividends. Upon execution of this Second
               -----------------------------
Restated Securities Pledge Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to Enrique Sanchez
Aldunate ("Mr. Sanchez") an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Securities in
the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement; provided, however, so long as no
default exists in the payment of principal or interest on any Replacement Note,
Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to the
Pledged Securities. All dividends or other distributions with respect to any
Pledged Securities in the form of cash or cash equivalents shall be retained by
or otherwise immediately remitted to Pledgee for application to the Note as
provided therein.

          4.   Stock Dividends; Distributions, etc. If, while this Restated
               ------------------------------------
Securities Pledge Agreement is in effect, Pledgor becomes entitled to receive or
receives any securities or other property in addition to, in substitution of, in
exchange for or otherwise in respect of any of the Pledged Securities (whether
as a distribution in connection with any recapitalization, reorganization or
reclassification, a stock dividend or otherwise), Pledgor shall accept such
securities or other property on behalf of and for the benefit of Pledgee as
additional security for Pledgor's obligations under the Replacement Note and
shall promptly deliver such additional

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

security to Pledgee together with duly executed forms of assignment, and such
additional security shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Securities
hereunder.

          5.   Default. If Pledgor defaults in the payment of the principal or
               -------
interest under the Replacement Note when it becomes due (whether upon
acceleration or otherwise) or any other event of default under the Replacement
Note or this Second Restated Securities Pledge Agreement occurs (including the
bankruptcy, Chapter 11 or insolvency of Pledgor), Pledgee may exercise any and
all the rights, powers and remedies of any owner of the Pledged Securities
(including the right to vote the shares and receive dividends and distributions
with respect to such shares) and shall have and may exercise without demand any
and all the rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under
the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts or otherwise applicable to Pledgee
under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, Pledgee is authorized to
sell, assign and deliver at its discretion, from time to time, all or any part
of the Pledged Securities at any private sale or public auction, on not less
than ten days written notice to Pledgor, at such price or prices and upon such
terms as Pledgee may deem advisable. Pledgor shall have no right to redeem the
Pledged Securities after any such sale or assignment. At any such sale or
auction, Pledgee may bid for, and become the purchaser of, the whole or any part
of the Pledged Securities offered for sale. In case of any such sale, after
deducting the costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses of sale and delivery,
the remaining proceeds of such sale shall be applied to the principal of and
accrued interest on the Replacement Note; provided that after payment in full of
the indebtedness evidence by the Replacement Note, the balance of the proceeds
of sale then remaining shall be paid to Pledgor and Pledgor shall be entitled to
the return of any of the Pledged Securities remaining in the hands of Pledgee.
Pledgor shall be liable for any deficiency if the remaining proceeds are
insufficient to pay the indebtedness under the Replacement Note in full,
including the fees of any attorneys employed by Pledgee to collect such
deficiency.

          6.   Release of Pledged Securities.
               -----------------------------

               a.   Upon payment in full of the indebtedness evidenced by the
          Replacement Note, Pledgee shall surrender the Pledged Securities to
          Pledgor together with all forms of assignment.

               b.   Upon termination of Enrique Sanchez Aldunate ("Mr. Sanchez")
          as an executive officer or director of Pledgor by his decision for any
          reason except for Mr. Sanchez's death or disability, the security
          interest granted hereunder shall immediately terminate and Pledgee
          shall surrender the Pledged Securities to Pledgor together with all
          applicable forms of assignment. For purposes of this Section 6.1.b,
          Mr. Sanchez shall be considered to have a disability if he becomes
          disabled through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either
          a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform
          substantially all of his duties and responsibilities for twelve weeks
          or more during any period of three hundred and sixty-five (365)
          consecutive calendar days.

          7.   No Other Liens; No Sales or Transfers. Pledgor hereby represents
               -------------------------------------
and warrants that he has good and valid title to all of the Pledged Securities,
free and clear of all liens, security

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

interests and other encumbrances, and Pledgor hereby covenants that, until such
time as all of the outstanding principal of and interest on the Replacement Note
have been repaid, Pledgor shall not (i) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien or charge of any kind against
the Pledged Securities or Pledgor's rights as a holder thereof, other than
pursuant to this Second Restated Securities Pledge Agreement or (ii) sell or
otherwise transfer any Pledged Securities or any interest therein.

     8.   Further Assurances.  Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to
          ------------------
time upon the written request of Pledgee, Pledgor shall execute and deliver such
further documents (including UCC financing statements) and do such further acts
and things as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of
this Second Restated Securities Pledge Agreement.

     9.   Severability.  Any provision of this Second Restated Securities Pledge
          ------------
Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     10.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  Pledgee shall not by any act, delay,
          ------------------------------
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid against Pledgee unless in writing and
signed by Pledgee, and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by
Pledgee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Pledgee would otherwise have on
any future occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the
part of Pledgee, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be
exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

     11.  Waivers, Amendments; Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution; Consent to
          -------------------------------------------------------------------
Jurisdiction.  None of the terms or provisions of this Second Restated
------------
Securities Pledge Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except
by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the parties hereto.  This
Agreement and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall together with the
rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, inure to the benefit of Pledgee and
its respective successors and assigns.  This Second Restated Securities Pledge
Agreement shall be governed by, and be construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts with regard to any conflict
of law provisions.  Any dispute which arises between the parties hereunder shall
be resolved exclusively in accordance with the arbitration procedures set forth
in Clause 8.13 of the Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
party hereto, by its execution hereof, (a) consents to the jurisdiction of the
competent courts of Mexico City, Federal District, for the sole purpose of
enforcing an arbitral award relating to this Agreement under Clause 8.13 of the
Purchase Agreement, (b) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, and agrees not to assert, and agrees not to allow any of its subsidiaries
to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the
above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or
execution, that any such proceeding brought in one of the above named courts is
improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not
be enforced by such court and (c) hereby agrees not to commence or maintain any
actions, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise),
inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement
or relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof other than in the courts and
for the purpose described in clause (a) above nor to make any motion or take any
other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such
action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise),
inquiry, proceeding or investigation to any court other than one of the above-
named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise.

     Re:  General Escrow Instructions

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the General Escrow Instructions (the "General
Instructions") dated on or about the date hereof by and among First National
Bank as Escrow Agent ("Escrow Agent"), Aerovox Incorporated ("Pledgor"); Hobir
Holding B.V., Kato Holding B.V., Bires Investments B.V., Kasri Holding B.V.,
Tako Holding B.V., and Renko Investments B.V., (collectively, "Pledgee"); and
Enrique Sanchez Aldunate as Pledgee's representative ("Pledgee's
Representative").  The General Instructions are hereby incorporated by reference
herein and made a part of this letter agreement.  To the extent that anything
contained in the General Instructions conflicts with any provisions of this
letter agreement, the terms of this letter agreement shall control.

     Upon execution hereof, Pledgor shall deposit into escrow with Escrow Agent
50,000 shares of Series B Class I and 22,333,830 shares of Series B Class II of
the capital stock of Aerovox de Mexico (the "Pledged Shares").

     It is agreed by the parties hereto that Escrow Agent is serving only as
escrow holder and Pledgee's collateral agent for purposes of establishing
Pledgee's control of the Pledged Shares under Section 8-106 of the Uniform
Commercial Code.

     In the event that an event of default occurs as a result of any non-payment
of interest or principal due under any Replacement Promissory Notes dated as of
April 4, 2001 issued to Pledgee, Pledgee's Representative, on behalf of Pledgee,
may deliver a written notice to Escrow Agent that such default has occurred and
request that Escrow Agent release the Pledged Shares at the direction of
Pledgee's Representative to the person or persons acquiring such shares pursuant
to the foreclosure of Pledgee's security interest in the Pledged Shares
conducted in accordance with the Pledge Agreement and the law of the
jurisdiction governing the enforcement of Pledgee's rights thereunder. Upon
receipt of such notice, Escrow Agent shall deliver a copy of the notice to
Pledgor. Pledgor shall then have ten (10) business days from the date of receipt
of such notice to object to such release by delivery to Escrow Agent of an
Officers Certificate of Pledgor executed by two officers of the Pledgor, at
least one of which shall be its President or Chief Financial Officer, certifying
under penalty of perjury that either (i) no default has occurred as a result of
any non-payment of interest or principal due under any Replacement Promissory
Notes dated as of April 4, 2001 issued to Pledgee, or (ii) based upon written
advise of counsel to Pledgor, the foreclosure of Pledgee's security interest in
the Pledged Shares was not lawfully conducted e in accordance with the Pledge
Agreement of the laws of the jurisdiction governing the enforcement of Pledgee's
rights under the Pledge Agreement. If Pledgor objects to such
<PAGE>

release by delivery of the such Officers Certificate, Escrow Agent shall
continue to hold the Pledged Shares in escrow until it receives written
instructions from Pledgee's Representative and Pledgor or is otherwise directed
by a judicial order. If Pledgor does not object as provided herein within the
specified time period, Escrow Agent shall release the Pledged Shares to
Pledgee's Representative.

     Fees of $2,000 per annum are payable to Escrow Agent for its ordinary and
usual services hereunder.  Should there be any extraordinary or unusual services
approved by the parties hereto to be rendered by Escrow Agent, Pledgor and
Pledgee shall pay reasonable compensation to Escrow Agent for such extraordinary
or unusual services, together with any reasonable costs and expenses which may
be incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the same.  Pledgor and Pledgee
agree that all fees paid to Escrow Agent hereunder shall be paid 50% by Pledgor
and 50% by Pledgee.

     Notices hereunder shall be deemed given when actually delivered to the
recipient at the applicable address or facsimile number listed below (or at such
other address as the recipient shall have designated by notice given hereunder):

                              By:_______________________
                                 Name:

                              FIRST NATIONAL BANK

                          GENERAL ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
                          ---------------------------

1.   These instructions will become effective only when First National Bank
("Escrow Agent") receives them fully executed by all parties hereto. Such
parties acknowledge that no escrow will exist and none of the provisions herein
will be effective until such fully executed instructions have been received by
Escrow Agent. If any funds, documents or property are delivered to Escrow Agent
prior to receipt of these fully executed escrow instructions, Escrow Agent will
return such items to the party so depositing at their request.

2.   It is agreed by the parties hereto that as far as Escrow Agent's rights and
liabilities are involved, this transaction is an escrow and not any other legal
relationship, and Escrow Agent is an escrow holder only on the foregoing
expressed terms. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner
whatsoever for the following: (1) the sufficiency or correctness as to form,
manner of execution or validity of any documents deposited in escrow; (2) the
identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same, either as to
documents of record or those handled in this escrow; or (3) the failure of any
party to comply with any of the provisions of any agreement contract or other
instrument filed or deposited in this escrow or referred to in these escrow
instructions. Escrow Agent's duties hereunder shall be limited to the
safekeeping of funds, documents or property received by Escrow Agent, and for
the disposition of the same in accordance with the written instructions accepted
by Escrow Agent in this escrow. Escrow Agent shall not be required to take any
action regarding the collection, maturity or legality of any obligations
deposited therewith unless otherwise instructed in writing. Escrow Agent shall
not be liable for any of Escrow Agent's acts or omissions done in good faith,
nor for any claims, demands, losses or damages made, claimed or suffered by any
party to this escrow, excepting such as may arise through or may be caused by
Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

3.   It is mutually understood and agreed by all parties in this escrow, jointly
and severally, that all funds received in this escrow may be deposited with a
state-chartered or national bank with other escrow funds, by Escrow Agent.
Escrow Agent is authorized and instructed to utilize the services of a sub-
escrow agent, within the scope of Sections 1738.4 and 1738.5 of the California
Administrative Code, as a depository for any funds and/or documents deposited
with Escrow Agent prior to close of escrow, if necessary. All disbursements
shall be made by check of Escrow Agent, unless Escrow Agent is otherwise
instructed in writing and deemed to be acceptable by Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent
shall not be obligated to identify or to guarantee the signature of any payee of
any disbursement check of Escrow Agent.

4.   The knowledge of Escrow Agent of matters affecting this escrow, provided
such facts do not prevent compliance with these instructions, does not create
any liability or duty in addition to the responsibility of Escrow Agent set
forth hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to make any physical
examination of any real or personal property described in any document deposited
into this escrow. The parties hereto agree Escrow Agent is not making any
<PAGE>

representations whatsoever regarding any such property and that it is not to be
concerned with nor liable for the condition of said property.

5.   Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for conducting a lien or title search
with respect to any party to this escrow or property which may be deposited in
this escrow or referred to in any document related hereto. Should the parties
desire that Escrow Agent conduct any lien or title search, the parties
requesting the same shall deliver separate and specific written escrow
instructions to Escrow Agent along with an agreement to pay Escrow Agent's
additional escrow fees.

6.   Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation or liability for failure to
inform the parties to this escrow regarding any sale, loan, exchange, or other
transaction or facts within the knowledge of Escrow Agent concerning this
escrow, provided it does not prevent Escrow Agent's compliance with these
instructions. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for in any way whatsoever
nor concerned with any question of usury in any loan or encumbrance, whether new
or of record, which may arise before the close of escrow. Escrow Agent shall not
be concerned with giving any disclosures otherwise required by Federal or State
law.

7.   ALL NOTICES, DEMANDS AND INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE IN WRITING. No notice,
demand, instruction, amendment, supplement or modification of these escrow
instructions shall be of any effect in this escrow until delivered in writing to
Escrow Agent and mutually executed by all parties. Escrow Agent shall only be
concerned with the directives expressly set forth in the escrow instructions,
supplements and amendments thereto. These escrow instructions may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original regardless of the date
of its execution and delivery. All such counterparts together shall constitute
the same document.

8.   It is agreed that the parties hereto shall cooperate with Escrow Agent in
carrying out these escrow instructions and completing this escrow. Said parties
shall deposit into escrow, upon request, any additional funds, instruments,
documents, instructions, authorizations, or other items that may be necessary to
enable Escrow Agent to comply with demands made on it by third parties, to
secure policies of title insurance, or to otherwise carry out the terms of their
instructions and close this escrow.

9.   In the event conflicting demands are made or served upon Escrow Agent or
any controversy arises between the parties hereto or with any third person
growing out of or relating to this escrow, Escrow Agent shall have the absolute
right to withhold and stop all further proceedings in, and performance of, this
escrow, until Escrow Agent receives written notification satisfactory to Escrow
Agent of the settlement of the controversy by agreement of the parties thereto,
or by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All of the
parties to this escrow hereby jointly and severally promise and agree to pay
promptly on demand as well as to indemnify Escrow Agent and to hold Escrow Agent
harmless from and against all claims, demands, costs, damages, judgments,
attorneys' fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities of every kind which
Escrow Agent may incur or suffer in connection with or arising out of this
escrow, whether said litigation, interpleader, obligation, liabilities or
expense arise during the performance of this escrow or subsequent thereof,
directly or indirectly. In the event of conflicting demands on the Escrow Agent
by the parties hereto, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, deposit any and all
<PAGE>

funds in question with the court that would have jurisdiction over such matter,
and in such event, Escrow Agent is relieved of any further responsibility in
connection with this escrow.

may be required to collect such fees or expenses, whether attorneys' fees are
incurred before trial, at trial, on appeal or in arbitration.

11.  It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the fees to be paid
to Escrow Agent for its services are for ordinary and usual services only, and

instructions, and has performed all other duties required hereunder. Escrow
Agent is authorized to destroy or otherwise dispose of any and all documents,
