     Section 5.2    Administrative Agent May Perform.
                    --------------------------------

     The Administrative Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform or
cause to be performed any act which the Pledgor agrees hereunder to perform and
which the Pledgor fails to perform. In addition, the Administrative Agent may
from time to time take any other action which the Administrative Agent
reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of
any of the Pledged Collateral or of its security interest therein. Expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be
                                                      -----------
payable by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 6.5.
                                   -----------

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

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

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

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

                                  ARTICLE VI.
                                   REMEDIES

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

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

               (a)  The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the
          Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided
          for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies
          of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC
          applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) and also may, without
          notice except as specified below, sell the

                                       10
<PAGE>

          Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at
          public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent's offices
          or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon
          such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially
          reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
          shall be required by law, at least ten days prior notice to the
          Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
          which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
          notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make
          any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
          been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private
          sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
          therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
          time and place to which it was so adjourned.

               (b)  The Administrative Agent may:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       11
<PAGE>

right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or power.

     Section 6.2    Securities Laws.
                    ---------------

     If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell
all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1, the Pledgor shall,
                                                 -----------
upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at the expense of the Pledgor:

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

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

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

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

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

     The Pledgor agrees that in any sale of any of the Pledged Collateral
whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or
restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including, without
limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of
prospective bidders and purchasers, require that prospective bidders and
purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict prospective bidders and
purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are

                                       12
<PAGE>

purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale of such Pledged Collateral), or in order to obtain any
required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory
authority or official, and the Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall
not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Administrative Agent be liable or
accountable to the Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that
such Pledged Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or
restriction.

     Section 6.4    Application of Proceeds.
                    -----------------------

     All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
Pledged Collateral in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof may, in the discretion
                                      -----------
of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as additional
Pledged Collateral security for, or then or at any time thereafter be applied

Loan Documents) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against all or
any of the Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect.

cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in
full in cash of all the Obligations, the termination of all Interest Rate
Agreements to which a Secured Party is a party and the termination of all
Commitments shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus.

     Section 6.5    Indemnity and Expenses.
                    ----------------------

     The Pledgor shall upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of
any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of its outside counsel and of any experts and agents,
which the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with:

               (a)  the consideration of legal matters relevant to this Pledge
          Agreement;

               (b)  the custody, preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale

          provisions hereof.

assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Note, Loan or Commitment
held by it as well as any interest in any other Obligations to any other Person
or entity as permitted by, and  in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement, and such other Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with
all the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender under any
Loan Document (including this Security Agreement) or otherwise, subject,

          rights hereunder shall not release the Grantor from any of its duties

     any Note, any other Loan Document or any Interest Rate Agreement;

          (f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of
     any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or
     consent to departure from, any other security interest held by any Secured
     Party or any holder of any Note securing any of the Obligations; or

          (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
     available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other
     Loan Party, any surety or any grantor.

     Section 2.7  Postponement of Subrogation.
                  ----------------------------

     The Grantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Security Agreement, by any
payment made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of
all of the Obligations, the termination of all Interest Rate Agreements to which
any Secured Party is a party and the termination of all Commitments.  Any amount
paid to the Grantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the
payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and each holder of a Note and shall immediately
be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and
each holder of a Note and credited and applied against the Obligations of the
Borrower and each other Loan Party, whether matured or unmatured, such order as
the Administrative Agent shall elect; provided,  however, that if
                                      --------   -------

          (a) the Grantor has made payment to the Secured Parties and each
     holder of a Note of all or any part of the Obligations, and

          (b) all Obligations have been paid in full in cash, all Interest Rate
     Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party have been terminated and
     all Commitments have been permanently terminated,

then, at the Grantor's request, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Secured Parties and the holders of the Notes, will execute and deliver to the
Grantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without representation or
warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Grantor of an
interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Grantor.  In
furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Obligations or Commitments
remain outstanding, the Grantor shall refrain from taking any action or
commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or any
of its or their successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in

                                       8

respect of payments made under this Security Agreement to any Secured Party or
any holder of a Note, except that the Grantor may file a proof of claim in a
bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any other Loan Party in
connection with any obligations owed by such Loan Party to the Grantor in the
event that the Administrative Agent has failed to file a proof of claim on the
Grantor's behalf by the second business day before the due date for such filing.

dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Grantor, anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; (ii) to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies
exercisable

                                       11

          or any part thereof or on account of its sale or lease;

                  (f) initiate, pursue, compromise, settle or withdraw any
          claims, suits or proceedings pertaining to the Collateral or any part
          thereof or to any interest, rent or other payment on or on account of
          the Collateral or any part thereof or on account of its sale or lease;

                  (g) take possession of and endorse in the name of the Grantor

                  (h) appoint another (who may be an employee, officer or other
          representative of the Administrative Agent) to do any of the foregoing
          on behalf of the Administrative Agent;

                  (i) execute (in the name, place and stead of the Grantor)
          endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance or
          transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; and

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  (j) take any other action which the Administrative Agent deems
          necessary or desirable to protect or realize upon its security
          interest in the Collateral or any part thereof, and the Grantor hereby
          irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as the Grantor's
          attorney-in-fact to take any such action, including the execution and
          delivery of any and all documents or instruments related to the
          Collateral or any part thereof in the Grantor's name, and said
          appointment shall create in the Administrative Agent a power coupled
          with an interest which shall be irrevocable.

     Section 5.2 Right of the Administrative Agent to Take Possession and
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreclose.
----------

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to take possession of
the Collateral and of any and all books of account and records of the Grantor
relating to any of the Collateral, the right to place the Administrative Agent's
representatives upon any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof or
any such books of account or records may be situated with full power to remove
the same therefrom, and the right to exclude the Grantor and all persons
claiming under the Grantor from any access to the Collateral or to any part
thereof, and the Administrative Agent and such representatives are hereby
granted the irrevocable license to enter upon such premises for such purpose.
The Administrative Agent may require the Grantor to assemble the Collateral or
any part thereof and to make the same (to the extent the same is moveable)
available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the
Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to the Grantor and the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may render the Collateral or any
part thereof unusable without removing the same from the premises on which it
may be situated, and may sell the same on the premises of the Grantor if such
Collateral or part thereof is situated thereon.  The Administrative Agent may
make formal application for the transfer of all of the Grantor's permits,
licenses, approvals, and the like relating to the Collateral or to the Grantor's
business to the Administrative Agent or to any assignee of the Administrative
Agent or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral to the extent the same are
assignable in accordance with their terms and applicable law.  Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Administrative Agent will give
the Grantor at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of the time and place
of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any
other intended disposition thereof is to be made, which notice shall constitute
reasonable notice.  In addition to exercising the foregoing rights, the
Administrative Agent may, to the extent permitted by law, arrange for and
conduct the sale of the Collateral at a public or private sale, as the
Administrative Agent may elect, which sale may be conducted by an employee or
representative of the Administrative Agent, and any such sale shall be
considered or deemed to be a sale made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The
Administrative Agent may release, temporarily or otherwise, to the Grantor any
item of Collateral of which the Administrative Agent has taken possession
pursuant to any right granted to the Administrative Agent by this Security
Agreement without waiving any rights granted to the Administrative

                                       13
<PAGE>

Agent under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or the other Loan
Documents or any other agreement related hereto or thereto. The Grantor, in
dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, hereby waives
all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require
marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a
particular order. Each successor and assign of the Grantor, including a holder
of a lien subordinate to the lien created hereby (without implying that the
Grantor has, except as expressly provided herein, a right to grant an interest
in, or a subordinate lien on, any of the Collateral), by acceptance of its
interest or lien agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, to the same
extent as if such holder gave the waiver itself. The Grantor also hereby waives,
to the full extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all laws providing for
rights of appraisal, valuation, stay or extension or of redemption after
foreclosure now or hereafter in force.

     Section 5.3    Right of the Administrative Agent to Collect and Service
                    --------------------------------------------------------
Accounts.
---------

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
and the acceleration of any Loan in accordance with Article VII of the Credit
                                                    -----------
Agreement, the Administrative Agent may notify or may require the Grantor to
notify any person or entity obligated to the Grantor under any account for
monies due or to become due forming all or any part of the Collateral, whether
now existing or hereafter acquired, that the same has been assigned to the
Administrative Agent and that such obligor should make payment or performance of
its obligations under such account directly to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may take possession of and exercise control over all
proceeds of any such account in the Grantor's possession or otherwise, and may
take any other action which the Administrative Agent deems necessary or
desirable to collect any such account or the proceeds thereof.  To evidence the
Administrative Agent's rights hereunder, the Grantor shall, at the Grantor's
expense, execute such assignments or endorsements of any such account, or of the
proceeds thereof, as the Administrative Agent may request.

     Section 5.4    Right of the Administrative Agent to Use, Operate and
                    -----------------------------------------------------
Maintain Collateral.
-------------------

     Section 5.4.1  Rights of the Administrative Agent.
                    ----------------------------------

     Upon the Administrative Agent's taking possession of all or any part of the
Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement or otherwise,
the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold, store, and/or use,
operate, manage, and control the same.  Upon any such taking of possession, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), from time to time, at
the expense of the Grantor, make all such repairs, replacements, alterations,
additions, and improvements to and of all or any of the Collateral as the
Administrative Agent may deem proper.  In any such case the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to exercise all rights and powers of the Grantor in respect
of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Administrative Agent shall deem
proper, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with
respect to the leasing and/or operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as

                                       14
<PAGE>

the Administrative Agent may see fit; and the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to collect and receive all rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, and
other income of the same and every part thereof.

     Section 5.4.2  The Administrative Agent Has No Duty.
                    ------------------------------------

     The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to
protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to
exercise any such powers.  Except for the reasonable care and preservation of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received
by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

     Section 5.5    Right of the Administrative Agent to Appoint Receiver.
                    ------------------------------------------------------

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent shall, as a matter of right and without any requirement
of notice, to the extent permitted under applicable law, be entitled to appoint
a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be
incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise.  All disbursements
made by the receiver under this Section 5.5 and the expenses of receivership
                                -----------
shall be added to and be a part of the Obligations, and, whether or not said
principal sum, including such disbursements and expenses, exceeds the
indebtedness originally intended to be secured hereby, the entire amount of said
sum, including such disbursements and expenses, shall be secured by this
Security Agreement and shall be due and payable upon demand therefor and
thereafter shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.3.E of the
                                                        -------------
Credit Agreement.

     Section 5.6    Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.
                    --------------------------------------

     The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under the Credit
Agreement, this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other
related agreement are cumulative and shall in no way affect, or deprive the
Administrative Agent of, or be deemed to constitute a waiver by the
Administrative Agent of any other rights or remedies allowed to the
Administrative Agent at law or in equity.  No notice to or demand on the Grantor
in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances and the exercise of any one remedy shall not impair the
Administrative Agent's right simultaneously or at any time or in any order to
exercise any other remedy nor shall the exercise of any remedy in one case
impair or otherwise affect the Administrative Agent's right or ability to
exercise such remedy contemporaneously or again in the same case or in any other
case.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent in exercising any right
or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     Section 5.7  Waiver of Rights.
                  -----------------

     To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Grantor waives all rights
and remedies of a debtor or grantor under the UCC or other applicable law, and
all formalities prescribed by law relative to the sale or disposition of the
Collateral (other than notice of sale) after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default and all other rights and remedies of the
Grantor with respect thereto.  In exercising its right to take possession of the
Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default hereunder, the Administrative Agent, personally or by its agents or
attorneys, and subject to the rights of any tenant under any lease or sublease
of the Collateral, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may enter upon any
land owned or leased by the Grantor without being guilty of trespass or any
wrongdoing, and without liability for damages thereby occasioned.  In the event
the Administrative Agent elects to proceed with respect to the Collateral,
separately from any real property, the Administrative Agent shall give the
Grantor at least ten (10) days' notice of the sale of the Collateral, which
shall for all purposes be deemed to be commercially reasonable.

     Section 5.8  Compliance with Restrictions.
                  -----------------------------

     The Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent
is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection
with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid
any violation of applicable law, or in order to obtain any required approval of
the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or
official, and the Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result
in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner, nor shall the Administrative Agent be liable or accountable
to the Grantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such
Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

     Section 5.9  Distribution of Proceeds.
                  -------------------------

     All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter
applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 6.2) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the
            -----------
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the
Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect.  The Grantor
shall remain liable for any deficiency.  Any surplus of such cash or cash
proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full in
cash of all the Obligations, the termination of all Interest Rate Agreements to
which a Secured Party is a party and the termination of all Commitments shall be
paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus.

     The Grantor agrees that at any time, and from time to time, at the expense
of the Grantor, the Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may
