which such filings, registrations and recordations are required, and (b)
deliver such evidence as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory that all
necessary filing fees and all recording and other similar fees, and all taxes
and other expenses related to such filings, registrations and recordings will
be or have been paid in full.

                  3.1.6  Defense of Title and Further Assurances. At its
expense the Company will defend the title to the Collateral (or any part
thereof), and promptly upon request execute, acknowledge and deliver any
financing statement, renewal, affidavit, assignment, continuation statement,
security agreement, certificate, or other document the Collateral Agent may
reasonably require in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue, protect
and/or extend the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and
its priority under the UCC. The Company will (i) comply in all material
respects with all license agreements relating to any Collateral and, upon the
request of the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
and furnish to the Collateral Agent any consents from licensors to effect the
purposes of this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent in pledge all
instruments evidencing the obligation to pay any of the Collateral not
maintained or pledged with the Collateral Agent, and (iii) from time to time do
whatever the Collateral Agent may reasonably request by way of obtaining,
executing, delivering, and/or filing financing statements, and other notices
and amendments and renewals thereof, and will take any and all steps and
observe such formalities as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in
order to create and maintain a valid Lien upon the Collateral, subject to no
other Liens, except as permitted hereby or by the Transaction Documents. The
Company agrees

                                      12
<PAGE>   13

that a photocopy of a fully executed financing statement shall be sufficient to
satisfy for all purposes the requirements of a financing statement as set forth
in Article 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. The Company will comply
in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws and regulations
affecting the Collateral.

                  3.1.7  Security, etc. The Company agrees that the Collateral
Agent may at any time take such steps as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably
necessary to protect the Collateral Agent's Lien upon and interest in, and to
preserve the Collateral, whether at the business premises of the Company or
elsewhere.

                  3.1.8  Other Liens. The Company will not permit any Liens on
or with respect to all or any part of the Collateral, except as expressly
permitted hereby and by the Transaction Documents.

                  3.1.9  Location of Collateral. Except as expressly permitted
elsewhere in this Agreement or except as may be permitted by the Transaction
Documents, without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Company
will not transfer, or permit the transfer of any of the Collateral except (i)
to a location for which the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent
therein shall remain perfected, (ii) to any other location so long as the
Company shall give the Collateral Agent written notice thereof and deliver
executed financing statements as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent
in connection therewith within 30 days of such transfer, and (iii) for
Collateral with a book value of less than $50,000 to another location.

                  3.1.10  Disposition of Collateral. Without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the requisite
Secured Parties pursuant to Section 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Company will not sell, discount, allow credits or allowances, transfer, assign,
extend the time for payment on, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, except, prior to an Event of
Default, (i) sales of inventory, discounts, co-op advertising, credits or
credit allowances and payment extensions in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with the customary business practices of the Company in effect on
the date hereof, (ii) sales of accounts receivables to CITCSI from time to time
so long as the Factoring Balances Agreement remains in effect, and (iii) as
otherwise expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents. Upon the permitted
sale, exchange or other disposition of any of the Collateral, the Lien created
and provided for herein, without break in continuity and without further
formality or act, shall continue in and attach to any proceeds thereof,
including, without limitation, any accounts, contract rights, general
intangibles, shipping documents,

                                      13
<PAGE>   14

documents of title, bills of lading, warehouse receipts, dock warrants, dock
receipts, equipment and cash or non-cash proceeds, and in the event of any
unauthorized sale, shall continue in the Collateral itself.

                  3.1.11  Depository Accounts; Collections. (a) Promptly after
receipt of notice from the Collateral Agent following the occurrence of an
Event of Default (regardless of whether it is an Actionable Default), the
Company will use its best efforts to cause all depositary banks in which Cash
Collections are deposited to become Approved Depositaries.

                  (b) With respect to all Account Debtors other than CITCSI,
promptly after receipt of notice from the Collateral Agent following the
occurrence of an Event of Default (regardless of whether it is an Actionable
Default): (i) the Company shall (x) deposit all Cash Collections either with
the Collateral Agent or an Approved Depository and (y) cause each Account
Debtor to remit all cash, checks, drafts, items and other instruments for the
payment of money which it now has or may at any time hereafter receive as
proceeds of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent; and (ii) the Collateral
Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to direct all Approved
Depositaries to remit all Cash Deposits held by them to the Collateral Agent as
often as the Collateral Agent may require and the Approved Depositaries are
hereby authorized and directed to do so by the Company upon the Collateral
Agent's direction. All amounts received by the Collateral Agent under this
Section 3.1.11(b) shall be deposited in a Collateral Reserve Account
established by the Company upon the request of the Collateral Agent. During the
existence of an Event of Default, the Company shall not be entitled to draw on
the funds held by any Approved Depository without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent. Any Cash Collections received by the Company after
receipt of the notices set forth in this Section 3.1.11(b) shall be deemed to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties as a part of the Collateral until forwarded to the Collateral Agent for
deposit in the Collateral Reserve Account as required above. Unless and until
an Actionable Default is in existence and subject to the provisions of Section
6 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent will transfer on each
Business Day collected amounts in the Collateral Reserve Account to the
Company's operating account. During the existence of an Actionable Default, and
subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement, (1) the
Collateral Agent will apply collected amounts in the Collateral Reserve Account
to the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 7 of the Intercreditor
Agreement, and (2) the Collateral Agent may, additionally, at any time in its
sole discretion or if requested in writing by the requisite Secured Parties
pursuant to Section 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement, direct Account Debtors
(other than CITCSI) to make payments on the Collateral, or

                                      14
<PAGE>   15

portions thereof, directly to the Collateral Agent, and such Account Debtors
are hereby authorized and directed to do so by the Company upon the Collateral
Agent's direction, and the funds so received shall be also deposited in the
Collateral Reserve Account, or, at the election of the Collateral Agent, upon
its receipt thereof, be applied directly to repayment of the Secured
Obligations as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (c) With respect to CITCSI, promptly after receipt of notice
from the Collateral Agent following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event of
Default (regardless of whether it is an Actionable Default): (i) the Company
shall (x) deposit all Cash Collections from CITCSI either with the Collateral
Agent or an Approved Depository and (y) cause CITCSI to remit all cash, checks,
drafts, items and other instruments for the payment of money which it now has
or may at any time hereafter receive as proceeds of the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent; and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right in its
sole discretion to direct all Approved Depositaries to remit all Cash Deposits
held by them to the Collateral Agent as often as the Collateral Agent may
require and the Approved Depositaries are hereby authorized and directed to do
so by the Company upon the Collateral Agent's direction. All amounts received
by the Collateral Agent under this Section 3.1.11(c) shall be deposited in a
Collateral Reserve Account established by the Company upon the request of the
Collateral Agent. During the existence of an Extraordinary Event of Default,
the Company shall not be entitled to draw on the funds from CITCSI held by any
Approved Depository without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
Any Cash Collections received by the Company from CITCSI after receipt of the
notices set forth in this Section 3.1.11(c) shall be deemed to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Collateral Agent until forwarded to the Collateral Agent
for deposit in the Collateral Reserve Account as required above. Unless and
until an Actionable Default arising as a result of an Extraordinary Event of
Default is in existence and subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent will transfer on each Business
Day collected amounts from CITCSI in the Collateral Reserve Account to the
Company's operating account. During the existence of an Actionable Default
arising from an Extraordinary Event of Default, and subject to the provisions
of Section 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement, (1) the Collateral Agent will
apply collected amounts from CITCSI in the Collateral Reserve Account to the
Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 7 of the Intercreditor Agreement, and
(2) the Collateral Agent may, additionally, at any time in its sole discretion
or if requested in writing by the requisite Secured Parties pursuant to Section
6 of the Intercreditor Agreement, direct CITCSI to make payments on the
Collateral, or portions thereof, directly to the Collateral Agent, and the
CITCSI is hereby authorized

                                      15
<PAGE>   16

and directed to do so by the Company upon the Collateral Agent's direction, and
the funds so received shall be also deposited in the Collateral Reserve
Account, or, at the election of the Collateral Agent, upon its receipt thereof,
be applied directly to repayment of the Secured Obligations as set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 4

                        RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

                  SECTION 4.1 Rights and Remedies, etc.

                  4.1.1  General Rights and Remedies. If any Actionable Default
is in existence, then, in each and every such case, the Collateral Agent may,
at its option exercised from time to time, and at the written direction of the
requisite Secured Parties will, subject to and as provided in Section 6 of the
Intercreditor Agreement, at any time thereafter while such Actionable Default
is continuing, exercise any rights, powers and remedies available to the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and
applicable Laws.

                  4.1.2  Enforcement Costs; Application of Proceeds. The
Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent all Enforcement Costs paid or
incurred by the Collateral Agent. This agreement shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the Lien on the Collateral. All Enforcement Costs,
together with interest thereon from the date of any demand therefor until paid
in full at a per annum rate of interest equal at all times to the Default Rate,
shall be paid by the Company to the Collateral Agent whenever demanded by the
Collateral Agent.

         Any proceeds of the collection of the sale or other disposition of the
Collateral will be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms
of Section 7 of the Intercreditor Agreement. If the sale or other disposition
of the Collateral fails to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations, the Company
shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties for any
deficiency. Any surplus from the sale or disposition of the Collateral shall be
paid to the Company or to any other party entitled thereto or shall otherwise
be paid over in a manner permitted by law, after payment in full of all Secured
Obligations and the Enforcement Costs related to any such payment.

                  4.1.3  Uniform Commercial Code and Other Remedies. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (and in addition to all of its rights, powers
and remedies under this Agreement), the Collateral Agent shall have all of the
rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the

                                      16
<PAGE>   17

Georgia Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws. Upon such occurrence
and demand by the Collateral Agent, the Company shall assemble the Collateral
and make it available to the Collateral Agent, at a place reasonably convenient
for such purpose as designated by the Collateral Agent. Upon an Actionable
Default, the Collateral Agent or its agents may enter upon the Company's
premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it
unusable, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it. Any written notice of the
sale, disposition or other intended action by the Collateral Agent with respect
to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to the
Company at the addresses set forth for notices herein, or such other address of
the Company which may from time to time be shown on the Collateral Agent's
records, at least 10 days prior to such sale, disposition or other action,
shall constitute reasonable notice to the Company.

                  4.1.4  Power of Attorney. The Company hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney
either in the name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Company,
effective upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Actionable
Default, to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, compromise, compound, receive,
receipt for and give acquittance for any and all sums owing or which may become
due upon any part of the Collateral or under any insurance maintained in
accordance with the Collateral Documents and, in connection therewith, to take
any and all actions as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable in
order to realize upon the Collateral or under any insurance maintained in
accordance with the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, power
to endorse in the name of the Company any checks, drafts, notes or other
instruments received in payment of or on account of the Collateral or under any
insurance maintained in accordance with the Collateral Documents, or to sign
the Company's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Collateral,
on notices of assignment, on public records, on verifications of Collateral and
on notices to Account Debtors, or on any proof of claim in bankruptcy
proceeding against an Account Debtor and any other obligor with respect to the
Collateral, to send requests for verification from Account Debtors, to notify
the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of the Company's
mail to an address designated by the Collateral Agent and to receive, open and
dispose of all mail addressed to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty to the Company to exercise any
such authority or power or in any way be responsible for the collection of the
Collateral or under any insurance maintained in accordance with the Collateral
Documents. The foregoing power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until the Secured Obligations have been fully satisfied and any
commitments

                                      17
<PAGE>   18

therefor terminated. The Collateral Agent may file one or more financing
statements disclosing its Lien in any or all of the Collateral without the
Company's signature appearing thereon. The Company also hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent a power of attorney to execute any such financing statement,
or amendments and supplements to financing statements, on behalf of the Company
without notice thereof to the Company, which power of attorney is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations have been fully
satisfied and this Agreement terminated.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

                  SECTION 5.1  Course of Dealing; Amendment. No course of
dealing between the Company and the Collateral Agent shall be effective to
amend, modify or change any provision of this Agreement and this Agreement may
not be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement in
writing signed by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the requisite
Secured Parties, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement) and the Company.
The Collateral Agent shall have the right at all times, subject to the rights
of the Secured Parties under the Intercreditor Agreement, to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement in strict accordance with the terms hereof and
thereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Collateral
Agent in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The failure or delay of
the Collateral Agent at any time or times to enforce the rights under such
provisions, strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as
having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to specific provisions of
this Agreement or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same.

                  SECTION 5.2  Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. Subject to the
rights of the Secured Parties under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Company
under the Collateral Documents and the Transaction Documents, the Collateral
Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties:

                           (a) at any time and from time to time, execute and
         deliver to the Company a written instrument waiving, on such terms and
         conditions as the Collateral Agent may specify in such written
         instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or any Event of
         Default hereunder and its consequences, provided, that any such waiver
         shall be for such period and subject and limited to such conditions as
         shall be specified in any such instrument and to the instance for
         which the waiver is given. In the case of any such

                                      18
<PAGE>   19

         waiver, the Company and the Collateral Agent shall be restored to
         their former positions prior to such Event of Default and shall have
         the same rights as they had hereunder. The rights, powers and remedies
         provided in this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised
         concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time to time and in
         such order as the Collateral Agent shall determine, and are in
         addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies
         provided by applicable Laws.

                           (b)  proceed against any of the Collateral without
         proceeding against the Company or other Person obligated under any of
         the Secured Obligations;

                           (c)  without reducing or impairing the Secured
         Obligations of the Company and without notice, release or compromise
         with any guarantor or other Person liable for all or any part of the
         Secured Obligations;

                           (d)  without reducing or impairing the Secured
         Obligations of the Company and without notice thereof: (i) fail to
         perfect the Lien in any or all Collateral or to release any or all the
         Collateral or to accept substitute Collateral, (ii) allow all or any
         of the Secured Obligations to arise after the date of this Agreement,
         (iii) waive any provision of this Agreement, (iv) exercise or fail to
         exercise rights of set-off or other rights, (v) accept partial
         payments or extend from time to time the maturity of all or any part
         of the Secured Obligations, and (vi) take or fail to take any action
         under this Agreement or against any one or more Persons obligated
         under the Secured Obligations.

The Company hereby waives and releases all claims and defenses against the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and/or with respect to the payment of
or the enforcement of the Secured Obligations and the Collateral Agent's rights
in the Collateral on account of any of the foregoing, except as to the
Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

                  SECTION 5.3  Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or
upon the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or made
when so given or made in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  SECTION 5.4  Management and Administration by Collateral
Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to the Company to pay for
insurance, taxes, or other charges incurred in the custody, preservation, use
or operation of, or in connection with the management

                                      19
<PAGE>   20

of, any Collateral on which a Lien is granted in connection with this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may (in its sole
discretion) pay such expenses. All such payments shall be part of the Secured
Obligations and shall bear interest payable on demand by the Company from the
date of any demand therefor until paid in full at the Default Rate.

                  SECTION 5.5  Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Jurisdiction.
THE COMPANY (A) AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (B)
SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, OF
THE COURTS THEREOF AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTS FOR THE NORTHERN
DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, (C) WAIVES ANY AND
ALL PERSONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION TO OBJECT ON ANY BASIS
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCONVENIENCE OF FORUM) TO JURISDICTION OR
VENUE WITHIN THE STATE OF GEORGIA FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATION TO ENFORCE THIS
AGREEMENT, AND (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT IN THE
MANNER PRESCRIBED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICE TO
THE COMPANY. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED, HOWEVER, SHALL PREVENT THE COLLATERAL
AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL
AND AGAINST THE COMPANY PERSONALLY, AND AGAINST ANY ASSETS OF THE COMPANY,
WITHIN ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION.

                  SECTION 5.6  Severability. In case one or more provisions
contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect under any Laws, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall remain effective and binding on the
parties thereto and shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

                  SECTION 5.7  Assignment, Etc. The Collateral Agent shall have
the right to divulge to any actual or potential purchaser, assignee, transferee
or participant of the Collateral and/or the Secured Obligations, or any part
thereof all information, reports, financial statements and documents obtained
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein, any confidentiality restriction agreed to by any person shall
continue to be binding upon such person.

                  SECTION 5.8  Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Collateral Agent and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the

                                      20
<PAGE>   21

Company shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent.

                  SECTION 5.9    APPLICABLE LAW.  THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
GEORGIA.

                  SECTION 5.10   Definitional Provisions. Unless otherwise

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties are
parties to that certain Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as
from time to time amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the
"Intercreditor Agreement"; all capitalized terms not defined herein shall have
the meaning set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and the "Security
Agreement" defined therein) whereby the Collateral Agent has agreed to act on
behalf of the Secured Parties in connection therewith and pursuant to which such
parties have agreed that the Secured Obligations shall be equally and ratably
secured; and

         WHEREAS, the Company is willing to pledge to the Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the payment and performance of the
Company's Obligations, all of its interest in all of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock owned by the Company of each of its domestic subsidiaries
as identified on Schedule I hereto (collectively the "Pledged Stock");

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.       PLEDGE OF STOCK; OTHER COLLATERAL.

         (a)      As collateral security for the payment and performance of all
of the Secured Obligations, and subject to Section 10 hereof, the Company hereby
pledges and collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, and grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties pursuant to the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") a
first priority security interest in the Pledged Stock and all of the following:

                           (A)      all cash, securities, dividends, rights, and
         other property at any time and from time to time declared or
         distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged
         Stock, other than dividends permitted to be retained by the Company
         under the Transaction Documents; and

                           (B)      all other property hereafter delivered to
         the Collateral Agent in substitution for or in addition to any of the
         foregoing, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing
         such property, all security entitlements constituting any Pledged
         Stock, all securities accounts to which may at any time be credited any
         or all of the Pledged Stock and all cash, securities, interest,
         dividends, rights, and other property at any time and

<PAGE>   2

         from time to time declared or distributed in respect of or in exchange
         for any or all of the Pledged Stock.

All such Pledged Stock, certificates, instruments, cash, securities, interest,
dividends, rights and other property referred to in this Section 1, other than
dividends issued in respect of such Pledged Stock that are permitted to be
retained by such Company under the Transaction Documents, are herein
collectively referred to as the "Collateral." All of the Pledged Stock is
currently owned by the Company and is represented by the stock certificates
listed on Schedule I hereto, which stock certificates, with stock powers duly
executed in blank by the Company, are being or have been delivered to the
Collateral Agent.

         (b)      The Company agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered by other Person's, at the Company's expense, all share
certificates, documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements (and
amendments thereto and continuations thereof), assignments, control agreements,
or other writings as the Collateral Agent may request from time to time to carry
out the terms of this Agreement or to protect or enforce the Collateral Agent's
Lien and security interest on the Collateral hereunder granted to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and further agrees to do and cause
to be done upon the Collateral Agent's request, at the Company's expense, all
things determined by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or advisable to
perfect and keep in full force and effect the Lien in the Collateral hereunder
granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
including the prompt payment of all out of pocket fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any filings made to perfect or continue the Lien and security
interest in the Collateral hereunder granted in favor of the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Company hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, with or, if permitted by
applicable law, without the signature of the Company, all such financing
statements and amendments thereto and continuations thereof reflecting the
Company as the "debtor" and the Collateral Agent as the "secured party", as the
Collateral Agent may at any time deem necessary or advisable to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement.

         (c)      All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this
Agreement, or in the enforcement thereof, shall become a part of the Secured
Obligations secured hereunder and shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties by the Company immediately upon demand therefor,
with interest thereon until paid in full.

         2.       STATUS OF PLEDGED STOCK. The Company hereby represents and
warrants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that (a)
all of the shares of the Pledged Stock are validly issued and outstanding, fully
paid and nonassessable and constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of
voting stock of each of the domestic subsidiaries owned by the Company as set
forth on Schedule I hereto (b) the Company is the registered and record and
beneficial owner of the Pledged Stock, free and clear of all Liens, charges,
equities, encumbrances and restrictions on pledge or transfer (other than the
pledge hereunder and under the Transaction Documents and applicable restrictions
pursuant to federal and state securities laws), (c) at no time shall the Pledged
Stock (i) be held or maintained in the form of a security entitlement or
credited to any securities

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

account or (ii) be maintained in the form of an uncertificated security, (d) it
has full corporate power, legal right and lawful authority to execute this
Agreement and to pledge, assign and transfer its Pledged Stock in the manner and
form hereof, and (e) the pledge, assignment and delivery of its Pledged Stock to
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this
Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the
Pledged Stock, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, assuming
continuous and uninterrupted possession thereof by the Collateral Agent. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, none of
the Pledged Stock (nor any interest therein or thereto) shall be sold,
transferred or assigned without the Collateral Agent's prior written consent,
which may be withheld for any reason. The Company covenants with the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that it shall at all times cause
the Pledged Stock to be represented by the certificates now and hereafter
delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 1 hereof and that
it shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to issue any capital stock, or
securities convertible into capital stock, at any time during the term of this
Agreement other than to the Company who shall immediately pledge such additional
capital stock to the Collateral Agent on substantially identical terms as are
contained herein. The Company hereby agrees not to enter into any agreement
requiring that the voting rights associated with the Pledged Stock be exercised
in any particular manner nor grant any interest in or permit to exist any Lien,
charge, encumbrance or restriction with respect to the Pledged Stock (other than
applicable restrictions pursuant to federal and state securities laws).

         3.       PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL.

         (a)      The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or liability with
respect to the collection, protection or preservation of the Collateral, or
otherwise, beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation
thereof while in its possession.

         (b)      The Company agrees to pay when due all taxes, charges, Liens
and assessments against the Collateral, unless being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and against which adequate reserves
have been established in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.
Upon the failure of the Company to so pay or contest such taxes, charges, Liens
or assessments, the Collateral Agent at its option may pay or contest any of
them (the Collateral Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or
validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or
assessments).

         (c)      The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent
to file (with, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the
signature of the Company appearing thereon) financing statements (including
amendments thereto and continuations and copies thereof) showing the Company as
the "debtor" at such time or times and in all filing offices as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time determine necessary or advisable to perfect or
protect the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, or
otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated.

         4.       DEFAULT. If any Actionable Default be in existence and while a
Remedies Demand has been made and not withdrawn, the Collateral Agent is given
full power and authority, then or at any time thereafter, to sell, assign and
deliver or collect the whole or any part of the Collateral, or

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

any substitute therefor or any addition thereto, in one or more sales, with or
without any previous demands or demand of performance or, to the extent
permitted by law, notice or advertisement, in such order as the Collateral Agent
may elect; and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at the
Collateral Agent's place of business or elsewhere, either for cash or upon
credit or for future delivery, at such price as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably deem fair; and the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser of any or
all Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from
any claim of the Company or right of redemption. Demands of performance,
advertisements and presence of property and sale and notice of sale are hereby
waived to the extent permissible by law; provided, however, that the Collateral
Agent shall give to Company five days' notice prior to any sale permitted under
this Agreement, and the Company agrees that such notice shall constitute
commercially reasonable notice. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an
auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Collateral Agent. The Company
recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of
the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state law, and may be
otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale by reason of
present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities, and
that as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Collateral Agent
may be compelled (i) to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted
group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire
the stock for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof, or (ii) to seek regulatory approval of any
proposed sale or sales, or (iii) to limit the amount of Collateral sold to any
Person or group. The Company agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made
may be at prices and upon terms less favorable to the Company than if such
Collateral was sold either at public sales or at private sales not subject to
other regulatory restrictions, and that the Collateral Agent has no obligation
to delay the sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit the issuer of such Collateral to register or otherwise qualify them, even
if such issuer would agree to register or otherwise qualify such Collateral for
public sale under the Securities Act or applicable state law. The Company
further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the use of
private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to dispose of the
Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a commercially reasonable
manner. The Company hereby acknowledges that a ready market may not exist for
the Pledged Stock if they are not traded on a national securities exchange or
quoted on an automated quotation system and agrees and acknowledges that in such
event the Pledged Stock may be sold for an amount less than a pro rata share of
the fair market value of the issuer's assets minus its liabilities. In addition
to the foregoing, the Secured Parties may exercise such other rights and
remedies as may be available under the Loan Documents, at law (including,
without limitation, the UCC) or in equity.

         5.       PROCEEDS OF SALE. The proceeds of the sale of any of the
Collateral and all sums received or collected from or on account of such
Collateral shall be applied to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by the
Collateral Agent in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the
Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, reasonable attorneys'
fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Secured Obligations
or any part thereof, all in such order and manner as set forth in Section 7 of
the Intercreditor Agreement.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         6.       PRESENTMENTS, ETC. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any
duty or obligation whatsoever to make or give any presentments, demands for
performances, notices of nonperformance, protests, notice of protest or notice
of dishonor in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held
thereby as collateral, or in connection with any obligations or evidences of
indebtedness which constitute in whole or in part the Secured Obligations
secured hereunder.

         7.       ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral
Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument
which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest;
provided, that the Collateral Agent shall have and may exercise rights under
this power of attorney only upon the occurrence of an Actionable Default and
otherwise in accordance with Section 6 of the Intercreditor Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Collateral Agent is entitled to
exercise its rights under Section 4 hereof, then the Collateral Agent shall have
the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders
for the payment of money made payable to the Company representing any dividend,
interest payment, principal payment or other distribution payable or
distributable in respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full
discharge for the same.

         8.       ABSOLUTE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. All rights of the Secured
Parties, and all obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of:

                  (a)      any lack of validity or enforceability of the
         Intercreditor Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other
         agreement or instrument relating to any of the Secured Obligations;

                  (b)      any change in the time, manner or place of payment
         of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Company Obligations, or
         any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from
         the Intercreditor Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any
         other agreement or instrument relating to any of the Secured
         Obligations;

                  (c)      any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other
         collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
         departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;
         or

                  (d)      any other circumstances which might otherwise
         constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company in
         respect of the Secured Obligations or of this Agreement.

         9.       WAIVER BY A COMPANY. The Company waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) any right to require any Secured Party or any other
obligee of the Secured Obligations to (a) proceed against the Company, any
guarantor or any other Person or entity, (b) proceed against or exhaust any
Collateral as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement, or (c) pursue any other
remedy in its power; and waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any
defense

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company, any
guarantor or any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of the Company, any guarantor or any other Person or
entity. The Company shall not have the right of subrogation, and the Company
waives any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other
obligee of the Secured Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any
other Person and waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any benefit
of and any right to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or
hereafter held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
The Company authorizes any Secured Party and any other obligee of the Secured
Obligations without notice (except notice required by applicable law) or demand
and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Transaction Documents from time to time to: (i) take and hold
security, other than the Collateral herein described, for the payment of such
Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and
release the Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other
security; and (ii) apply such Collateral or other security and direct the order
or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party or obligee in its discretion may
determine.

         The Collateral Agent may at any time deliver (without representation,
recourse or warranty) the Collateral or any part thereof to the Company and the
receipt thereof by such Company shall be a complete and full acquittance for the
Collateral so delivered, and the Secured Parties shall thereafter be discharged
from any liability or responsibility therefor.

         10.      DIVIDENDS AND VOTING RIGHTS.

         (a)      All dividends and other distributions with respect to any of
the Pledged Stock shall be subject to the pledge hereunder except for dividends
permitted to be retained by the Company under the Transaction Documents. Any
such dividends may be retained by the Company free from any Liens hereunder
until an Actionable Default shall be in existence and a Remedies Demand shall
have been made, at which time all dividends shall be promptly delivered to the
Collateral Agent (together, if the Collateral Agent shall request, with stock
powers or instruments of assignment duly executed in blank affixed to any
capital stock or other negotiable document or instrument so distributed) to be
held, released or disposed of by it hereunder or, at the option of the
Collateral Agent, to be applied to the Secured Obligations hereby secured.

         (b)      So long as no Actionable Default shall have occurred and no
Remedies Demand shall have been made, the registration of the Collateral in the
name of the Company shall not be changed and the Company shall be entitled to
exercise all voting and other rights and powers pertaining to the Collateral for
all purposes not inconsistent with the terms hereof.

         (c)      Upon the occurrence of any Actionable Default and the making
of a Remedies Demand, at the option of the Collateral Agent, all rights of the
Company to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is
authorized to exercise pursuant to subsection (b) above shall cease and the
Collateral Agent may thereupon (but shall not be obligated to), at its request,
cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or
its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and exercise such
voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such
Collateral, and to that end the Company hereby appoints the

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Collateral Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and
exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to the Pledged Stock
hereunder upon the occurrence of any Actionable Default, which proxy is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable prior to termination of this Agreement, and
the Company hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Collateral
Agent may request; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent in its
discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising, and shall not be
obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy.

         11.      POWER OF SALE. The power of sale and other rights, powers and
remedies granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Collateral Agent
at any time and from time to time, upon the occurrence of an Actionable Default,
irrespective of the fact that any Secured Obligations or any part thereof may
have become barred by any statute of limitations or that the liability of the
Company may have ceased.

         12.      OTHER RIGHTS. The rights, powers and remedies given to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Agreement shall
be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to any Secured Party by
virtue of any statute or rule of law. Any forbearance or failure or delay by the
Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further
exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall
continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is
specifically waived by the Required Secured Parties by an instrument in writing.

         13.      FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Company agrees at its own expense to
do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional
conveyances, assignments, financing statements, agreements and instruments, as
the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the
administration or enforcement of this Agreement or related to the Collateral or
any part thereof or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral
Agent its rights, powers and remedies for the benefit of the Secured Parties
hereunder. The Company hereby consents and agrees that the issuers of or
obligors in respect of the Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions
hereof as conclusive evidence of the right of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary
heretofore or hereafter given by the Company or any other Person to any of such
issuers or obligors.

         14.      BINDING AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement, and the terms,
covenants and conditions hereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Company shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest
herein or in the Collateral, or any part thereof, or otherwise pledge, encumber
or grant any option with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof, or any
cash or property held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral under this
Agreement. All references herein to the Collateral Agent shall include any
successor thereof, each Secured Party and any other obligees from time to time
of the Secured Obligations.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         15.      SEVERABILITY. In case any Lien, security interest or other
right of any Secured Party or any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall
not affect any other Lien, security interest or other right granted hereby or
provision hereof.

         16.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original, and it
shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account
for more than one such fully-executed counterpart.

         17.      INDEMNIFICATION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees to
pay, indemnify, and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party
from and against any and all other out-of-pocket liabilities, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever arising in connection with any
claim or litigation by any Person resulting from the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement or the Transaction
Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or in any respect
relating to the Collateral or any transaction pursuant to which the Company has
incurred any Secured Obligation (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that the Company shall have no
obligation hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all Secured
Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         18.      NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be
given, (a) with respect to the Company, at the address of the Company indicated
in Section 24 of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) with respect to the
Collateral Agent or a Secured Party, at the Collateral Agent's address indicated
in Section 24 of the Intercreditor Agreement. All such notices shall be given
and shall be effective as provided in Section 24 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

         19.      GOVERNING LAW; WAIVERS.

                  (a)      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN

         RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN MAY

         THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
         PROCEEDING.

                  (c)      EACH PARTY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE

         METHOD OF SERVICE PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS IN EFFECT IN

                  (d)      NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUBSECTIONS (b) OR (c) HEREOF
         SHALL PRECLUDE ANY PARTY FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
         ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION
         DOCUMENTS IN THE COURTS OF ANY PLACE WHERE ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF
