          (d) Proceeds. All proceeds and products of the foregoing, however and
     whenever acquired and in whatever form.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby specifically
understood and agreed that a Pledgor may from time to time hereafter pledge and
deliver additional shares of stock or other interests to the Administrative
Agent as collateral security for the Pledgor Obligations. Upon such pledge and
delivery to the Administrative Agent, such additional shares of stock or other
interests shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor
and shall be subject to the terms of this Pledge Agreement whether or not
Schedule 2(a) is amended to refer to such additional shares.

     3. Security for Pledgor Obligations. The security interest created hereby
in the Pledged Collateral of each Pledgor constitutes continuing collateral
security for all of the following, whether now existing or hereafter incurred
(the "Pledgor Obligations"): (a) all of the Credit Party Obligations, howsoever
evidenced, created, incurred or acquired, whether primary, secondary, direct,
contingent, or joint and several and (b) all expenses and charges, legal and
otherwise, reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Secured
Parties in collecting or enforcing any of the Credit Party Obligations or in
realizing on or protecting any security therefor, including without limitation
the security granted hereunder.

     4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral; Perfection of Security Interest.
Each Pledgor hereby agrees that:

          (a) Delivery of Certificates. Each Pledgor shall deliver to the
     Administrative Agent (i) simultaneously with or prior to the execution and
     delivery of this Pledge Agreement (or at such later time as the
     Administrative Agent may agree), all certificates representing the Pledged
     Capital Stock owned by such Pledgor and (ii) promptly upon the receipt
     thereof by or on behalf of a Pledgor, all other certificates and
     instruments constituting Pledged Collateral owned by a Pledgor. Prior to
     delivery to the Administrative Agent, all such certificates and instruments
     constituting Pledged Collateral of a Pledgor shall be held in trust by such
     Pledgor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. All
     such certificates shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by
     delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer
     or assignment in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a)
     attached hereto.

                                       3

<PAGE>

          (b) Additional Securities. If such Pledgor shall receive by virtue of
     its being or having been the owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i)
     certificate, including without limitation, any certificate representing a
     dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of
     capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets,
     combination of shares or membership or equity interests, stock splits,
     spin-off or split-off, promissory notes or other instrument; (ii) option or
     right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or an exchange for, any
     Pledged Collateral or otherwise; (iii) dividends payable in securities; or
     (iv) distributions of securities or other equity interests in connection
     with a partial or total liquidation, dissolution or reduction of capital,
     capital surplus or paid-in surplus, then such Pledgor shall receive such
     certificate, instrument, option, right or distribution in trust for the
     benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor's
     other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Administrative Agent
     in the exact form received together with any necessary endorsement and/or
     appropriate stock power duly executed in blank, substantially in the form
     provided in Exhibit 4(a), to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged
     Collateral and as further collateral security for the Pledgor Obligations.

          (c) Provisions Relating to Security Entitlements and Securities
     Accounts. With respect to any Pledged Collateral consisting of a Security
     Entitlement or held in a Securities Account, (i) the applicable Pledgor and
     the applicable Securities Intermediary shall enter into an agreement with
     the Administrative Agent granting Control to the Administrative Agent over
     such Pledged Collateral, such agreement to be in form and substance
     satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent
     shall be entitled, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
     Default or an Event of Default, to notify the applicable Securities
     Intermediary that it should follow the Entitlement Orders of the
     Administrative Agent and no longer follow the Entitlement Orders of the
     applicable Pledgor. Upon receipt by a Pledgor of notice from a Securities
     Intermediary of its intent to terminate the Securities Account of such
     Pledgor held by such Securities Intermediary, prior to the termination of
     such Securities Account the Pledged Collateral in such Securities Account
     shall be (A) transferred to a new Securities Account which is subject to a
     control agreement as provided above or (B) transferred to an account held
     by the Administrative Agent (in which it will be held until a new
     Securities Account is established).

     5. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
that so long as any of the Pledgor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity
or reimbursement obligations) remains outstanding or any Credit Document or
Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of the Commitments shall have been
terminated:

          (a) Authorization of Pledged Capital Stock. The Pledged Capital Stock
     is duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and nonassessable and
     is not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person. All other shares of
     Capital Stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly authorized and
     validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to the
     preemptive rights of any Person.

                                       4

<PAGE>

          (b) Title. Each Pledgor is the legal, record and beneficial owner of
     the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and will at all times be the legal
     and beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien
     except for the security interest created by this Pledge Agreement or the
     Security Agreement or Permitted Encumbrances. There exists no "adverse
     claim" within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC with respect to the
     Pledged Capital Stock of such Pledgor.

          (c) Exercising of Rights. The exercise by the Administrative Agent of
     its rights and remedies hereunder will not violate any law or governmental
     regulation, subject to compliance by the Administrative Agent with the
     requirements of any applicable securities laws, or any material contractual
     restriction binding on or affecting a Pledgor or any of its property.

          (d) Pledgor's Authority. No authorization, approval or action by, and
     no notice or filing with any Governmental Authority, the issuer of any
     Pledged Capital Stock or third party is required either (i) for the pledge
     made by a Pledgor or for the granting of the security interest by a Pledgor
     pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or (ii) for the exercise by the
     Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties of their rights and remedies
     hereunder (except as may be required by laws affecting the offering and
     sale of securities).

          (e) Security Interest/Priority. This Pledge Agreement creates a valid
     security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable
     benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Pledged Collateral. The taking
     possession by the Administrative Agent of the certificates (if any)
     representing the Pledged Capital Stock and all other certificates and
     instruments constituting Pledged Collateral will perfect and establish the
     first priority of the Administrative Agent's security interest in all
     certificated Pledged Capital Stock and such certificates and instruments.
     Upon the filing of UCC financing statements in the appropriate filing
     office in the location of each Pledgor's State of organization or
     formation, the Administrative Agent shall have a first priority perfected
     security interest in all uncertificated Pledged Capital Stock consisting of
     partnership or limited liability company interests that do not constitute a
     Security pursuant to Section 8-103(c) of the UCC. With respect to any
     Pledged Collateral consisting of uncertificated Securities or a Security
     Entitlement or held in a Securities Account, upon execution and delivery by
     the applicable Pledgor, the applicable Securities Intermediary or issuer
     and the Administrative Agent of an agreement granting Control to the
     Administrative Agent over such Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent
     shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such Pledged
     Collateral. Except as set forth in this Section, no action is necessary to
     perfect or otherwise protect such security interest.

          (f) No Other Capital Stock. Except as set forth on Schedule 2(a)
     attached hereto, no Pledgor owns any Capital Stock of any Domestic
     Subsidiary of the Borrower.

          (g) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interests. Except as
     previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent, none of the
     Pledged Capital Stock consisting of partnership or limited liability
     company interests (i) is dealt in or

                                       5

<PAGE>

     traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its
     terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the
     UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a Securities
     Account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

     6. Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby covenants that, so long as any of the
Pledgor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement
obligations) remains outstanding or any Credit Document or Hedging Agreement is
in effect, and until all of the Commitments shall have been terminated, such
Pledgor shall:

          (a) Perfection of Security Interests. Mark its books and records (and
     shall cause the issuer of the Pledged Capital Stock of such Pledgor to mark
     its books and records) to reflect the security interest granted to the
     Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to
     this Pledge Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
     Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to prepare and file such
     financing statements (including continuation statements) or amendments
     thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Administrative
     Agent may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to
     perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance
     with the UCC. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that a carbon, photographic or
     other reproduction of this Pledge Agreement or any such financing statement
     is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the Administrative
     Agent without notice thereof to such Pledgor wherever the Administrative
     Agent may reasonably determine is appropriate. Each Pledgor shall also
     execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements,
     assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations
     and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as the
     Administrative Agent may reasonably request) and do all such other things
     as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate
     (i) to assure to the Administrative Agent its security interests hereunder
     are perfected, including such financing statements (including continuation
     statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other
     instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably
     request in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted
     hereunder in accordance with the UCC and any other personal property
     security legislation in the appropriate state(s) or province(s), (ii) to
     consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) to otherwise
     protect and assure the Administrative Agent of its rights and interests
     hereunder. To that end, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes
     and appoints the Administrative Agent, its nominee or any other person whom
     the Administrative Agent may designate, as such Pledgor's attorney-in-fact
     with full power and for the limited purpose to sign in the name of such
     Pledgor any documents which in the Administrative Agent's reasonable
     discretion would be necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and
     maintain perfection of the security interests granted hereunder, such
     power, being coupled with an interest, being and remaining irrevocable so
     long as any of the Pledgor Obligations remain outstanding (other than
     contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations) or any Credit Document
     or Hedging Agreement (to the extent the obligations of such Pledgor
     thereunder constitute Pledgor Obligations) is in effect, and until all of
     the Commitments shall have terminated. In the event for any reason the law
     of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the

                                       6

<PAGE>

     Collateral of any Pledgor or any part thereof, or to any of the Pledgor
     Obligations, such Pledgor agrees to execute and deliver all such
     instruments and to do all such other things as the Administrative Agent
     reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect and enforce
     the security interests of the Administrative Agent under the law of such
     other jurisdiction (and, if any Pledgor shall fail to do so promptly upon
     the request of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may
     execute any and all such requested documents on behalf of such Pledgor
     pursuant to the power of attorney granted hereinabove).

          (b) Defense of Title. Warrant and defend title to and ownership of the
     Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor at its own expense against the claims
     and demands of all other parties claiming an interest therein, keep the
     Pledged Collateral free from all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and not
     sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of Pledged
     Collateral of such Pledgor or any interest therein, except as permitted
     under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that in
     the event a Pledgor makes a sale of Pledged Collateral that is permitted by
     the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall release
     the Pledged Collateral that is the subject of such sale free and clear of
     any Lien and security interest under this Pledge Agreement or any other
     Credit Document concurrently with the consummation of such sale.

          (c) Further Assurances. Promptly execute and deliver at its expense
     all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may
     be necessary and desirable or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably
     request in order to (i) perfect and protect the security interest created
     hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor (including, without
     limitation, any and all action necessary to reasonably satisfy the
     Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has obtained a first
     priority perfected security interest in all Pledged Capital Stock); (ii)
     enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
     remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor;
     and (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement,
     including, without limitation and if requested by the Administrative Agent,
     delivering to the Administrative Agent irrevocable proxies in respect of
     the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

          (d) Amendments. Not make or consent to any amendment or other
     modification or waiver with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of
     such Pledgor or enter into any agreement or allow to exist any restriction
     with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor other than
     pursuant hereto or as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement.

          (e) Compliance with Securities Laws. File all reports and other
     information now or hereafter required to be filed by such Pledgor with the
     United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other state,
     federal or foreign agency in connection with the ownership of the Pledged
     Collateral of such Pledgor.

                                       7

<PAGE>

          (f) Issuance or Acquisition of Capital Stock. Not without executing
     and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the
     Administrative Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as the
     Administrative Agent may reasonably require, issue or acquire any Capital
     Stock consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability
     company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a
     securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a
     Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company
     security, (iv) is held in a Securities Account or (v) constitutes a
     Security or a Financial Asset.

     7. Performance of Obligations; Advances by Administrative Agent. On failure
of any Pledgor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein,
the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
perform or cause to be performed the same and in so doing may expend such sums
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance
thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums,
the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential
Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other
expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the
security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of law. All such
sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Pledgors on a joint and
several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall
constitute additional Pledgor Obligations and shall bear interest from the date
said amounts are expended at the default rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set
forth in Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement. No such performance of any
covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Pledgor, and
no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgors of any
default under the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the other Credit Documents or
any Hedging Agreement. The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby
authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the
appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without
inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim
except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by a Pledgor
in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being
maintained in accordance with GAAP.

     8. Events of Default. The occurrence of an event that under the Credit
Agreement would constitute an Event of Default shall be an event of default
hereunder (an "Event of Default").

     9. Remedies.

          (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
     during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have, in
     respect of the Pledged Collateral of any Pledgor, in addition to the rights
     and remedies provided herein, in the other Credit Documents or by law, the
     rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other
     applicable law.

          (b) Sale of Pledged Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
     Default and during the continuation thereof, without limiting the
     generality of this Section and upon ten (10) days written notice by the
     Administrative Agent of the time and place for a

                                       8

<PAGE>

     public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place, given
     in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 9.2 of the Credit
     Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, sell or
     otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part
     thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange
     or broker's board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other
     terms as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, for cash, credit or for
     future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. To the
     extent permitted by law, any Secured Party may in such event, bid for the
     purchase of such securities. The Administrative Agent shall not be
     obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor 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.

          (c) Registration Rights. If the Administrative Agent shall determine
     to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Pledged Collateral, each
     Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent (which
     request may be made by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion),
     such Pledgor will, at its own expense:

               (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to 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 or, in the opinion of the
          Administrative Agent, advisable to file a registration statement
          covering such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the
          Securities Act of 1933 and to use its best efforts 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 opinion of the
          Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity
          with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and
          regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
          thereto;

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

               (iii) cause each issuer to make available to its security
          holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will
          satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (iv) to use its best efforts to 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; and

                                       9

<PAGE>

               (v) bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
          fees, of carrying out its obligations under this Section 12.

     Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
     in this Section 9(c) will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative
     Agent, that Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect
     of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant
     contained in this Section 9(c) shall be specifically enforceable against
     such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
     defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
     except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the
     Pledgor Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated
     maturities. Nothing in this Section 9(c) shall in any way alter the other
     rights of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement.

     In the event of any public sale described in this Section 9(c), each
     Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and
     the Secured Parties and each of their respective directors, officers,
     employees and agents from and against any loss, fee, cost, expense, damage,
     liability or claim, joint or several, to which any such persons may become
     subject or for which any of them may be liable, under the Securities Act of
     1933 or otherwise, insofar as such losses, fees, costs, expenses, damages,
     liabilities or claims (or any litigation commenced or threatened in respect
     thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
     untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
     prospectus, registration statement, prospectus or other such document
     published or filed in connection with such public sale, or any amendment or
     supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
     alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and will
     reimburse Administrative Agent and such other persons for any legal or
     other expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent and such
     other persons in connection with any litigation, of any nature whatsoever,
     commenced or threatened in respect thereof (including all fees, costs and
     expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent and
     such other persons and counsel for the Administrative Agent and such other
     persons in investigating, preparing for, defending against or providing
     evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect of, any
     such commenced or threatened litigation or any claims asserted). This
     indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which any Pledgor may
     otherwise have and shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to each
     person, if any, that controls the Administrative Agent or such persons
     within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.

          (d) Private Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
     during the continuation thereof, the Pledgors recognize that the
     Administrative Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of
     all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and that the Administrative Agent
     may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such
     Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be
     obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral
     for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
     distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such
     private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to

                                       10

<PAGE>

     the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained
     at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such sale
     shall not be deemed to be not commercially reasonable solely because it was
     conducted as a private sale and that the Administrative Agent shall have no
     obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged Collateral for the period of
     time necessary to permit the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to register
     such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
     Each Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such
     Pledged Collateral which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide
     basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in New
     York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without
     prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (ii) made
     privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a
     "public sale" under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not
     constitute a "public offering" under the Securities Act of 1933, and the
     Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such
     Pledged Collateral.

          (e) Retention of Pledged Collateral. In addition to the rights and
     remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during
     the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the
     notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 (or similar provision) of the
     UCC (or any successor sections of the UCC) or otherwise complying with the
     notice requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept
     or retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of
     the Pledgor Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall
     have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be
     deemed to have retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any
     Pledgor Obligations for any reason.

          (f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection
     or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
     Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the
     Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together
     with interest thereon at the default rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set
     forth in Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, together with the costs of
     collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the
     Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining
     after the full payment and satisfaction of the Pledgor Obligations shall be
     returned to the Pledgors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction
     shall determine to be entitled thereto.

          (g) Other Security. To the extent that any of the Pledgor Obligations
     are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Pledged Collateral
     (including, without limitation, real and other personal property owned by a
     Pledgor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person,
     then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such
     other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event
     of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole
     discretion, to determine which rights, security, Liens, security interests
     or remedies the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall at any
     time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto,
     without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of the
     Administrative Agent's and the Secured

                                       11

<PAGE>

     Parties' rights or the Pledgor Obligations under this Pledge Agreement,
     under any other of the Credit Documents or under any Hedging Agreement.

     10. Rights of the Administrative Agent.

          (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney
     contained herein, each Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the
     Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its
     designees or agents as attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, irrevocably and
     with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the
     following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
     Event of Default:

               (i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and give
          discharges and releases concerning the Pledged Collateral of such
          Pledgor, all as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine in
          respect of the Pledged Collateral;

               (ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the
          purposes of collecting any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor
          and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

               (iii) to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or
          proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge
          or release as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate
          in respect of the Pledged Collateral;

               (iv) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens, security interests, or
          other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the
          Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor;

               (v) to direct any parties liable for any payment under any of the
          Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to
          become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the
          Administrative Agent shall direct;

               (vi) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies,
          claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect
          of or arising out of any Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor;

               (vii) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock
          powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the
          Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor;

               (viii) to execute and deliver and/or file all assignments,
          conveyances, statements, financing statements, continuation
          statements, pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other
          agreements, instruments and documents that the

                                       12

<PAGE>

          Administrative Agent may determine necessary in order to perfect and
          maintain the security interests and Liens granted in this Pledge
          Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions
          contemplated herein;

               (ix) to exchange any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or
          other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
          recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in
          connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Collateral of such
          Pledgor with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or
          other designated agency upon such terms as the Administrative Agent
          may determine;

               (x) to vote for a shareholder, partner or member resolution, or
          to sign an instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or
          all of the Pledged Capital Stock of such Pledgor into the name of the
          Administrative Agent or into the name of any transferee to whom the
          Pledged Capital Stock of such Pledgor or any part thereof may be sold
          pursuant to Section 9 hereof; and

               (xi) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the
          Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or
          convenient in connection with the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

     This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
     irrevocable for so long as any of the Pledgor Obligations remain
     outstanding (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations),
     any Credit Document or Hedging Agreement is in effect and until all of the
     Commitments shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be
     under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights,
     powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the
     Administrative Agent in this Pledge Agreement, and shall not be liable for
     any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent
     shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or
     any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as
     attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross
     negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on
     the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its
     security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

          (b) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
     may from time to time assign the Pledgor Obligations or any portion thereof
     and/or the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof, and the assignee
     shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative
     Agent under this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto.

          (c) The Administrative Agent's Duty of Care. Other than the exercise
     of reasonable care to ensure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral
     while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative
     Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining
     thereto, it being understood and agreed that Pledgors shall be responsible
     for preservation of all rights in the Pledged Collateral of

                                       13

<PAGE>

     such Pledgor, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all
     responsibility for Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the
     surrender of it to the Pledgors. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed
     to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the
     Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
     treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent
     accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment
     employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being
     understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for
     (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
     exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged
     Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to
     have knowledge of such matters; or (ii) taking any necessary steps to
     preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

          (d) Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

               (i) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
          and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor may
          exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to
          the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any
          purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or
          the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not
          exercise or shall refrain from exercising any such right if the
          Administrative Agent shall have notified the Pledgor that, in the
          Administrative Agent's judgment, such action would have a material
          adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part
          thereof. It is understood, however, that neither (A) the voting by
          Pledgor of any Pledged Collateral for or Pledgor's consent to the
          election of directors at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting
          of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such
          meeting nor (B) Pledgor's consent to or approval of any action
          otherwise permitted under this Pledge Agreement and the Credit
          Agreement shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge
          Agreement or the Credit Agreement within the meaning of this Section
          10(d)(i); and

               (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default
          or an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby grants to the
          Administrative Agent an irrevocably proxy to exercise the voting and
          other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
          exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection (d) and each
          Pledgor agrees that during such time it will not exercise such voting
          and other consensual rights.

          (e) Dividend and Distribution Rights in Respect of the Pledged
     Collateral.

                                       14

<PAGE>

               (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
          continuing and subject to Section 4(b) hereof, each Pledgor may
          receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock or
          ownership interest dividends and other dividends constituting Pledged
          Collateral which are addressed hereinabove), distributions or interest
          paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent they are
          allowed under the Credit Agreement.

               (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
          of Default:

                    (A) all rights of a Pledgor to receive the dividends,
               distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be
               authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (i) of
               this subsection (e) shall cease and all such rights shall
               thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then
               have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral
               such dividends, distributions and interest payments; and

                    (B) all dividends, distributions and interest payments which
               are received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of clause
               (A) of this subsection (ii) shall be received in trust for the
               benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from
               other property or funds of such Pledgor, and shall be forthwith
               paid over to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in
               the exact form received, to be held by the Administrative Agent
               as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the
               Pledgor Obligations.

          (f) Release of Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent may
     release any of the Pledged Collateral from this Pledge Agreement or may
     substitute any of the Pledged Collateral for other Pledged Collateral
     without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect,
     Lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge Agreement as to any
     Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this Pledge
     Agreement shall continue as a first priority Lien on all Pledged Collateral
     not expressly released or substituted.

     11. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Pledgor
Obligations and any proceeds of any Pledged Collateral, when received by the
Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties in cash or its equivalent,
will be applied in reduction of the Pledgor Obligations in the order set forth
in Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement, and each Pledgor irrevocably waives
the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing
and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds
in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion (but subject in all events to
Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement), notwithstanding any entry to the
contrary upon any of its books and records.

                                       15

<PAGE>

     12. Costs of Counsel. If at any time hereafter, whether upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or not, the Administrative Agent employs counsel to
prepare or consider amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Pledge
Agreement, or to take action or make a response in or with respect to any legal
or arbitral proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement or relating to the
Pledged Collateral, or to protect the Pledged Collateral or exercise any rights
or remedies under this Pledge Agreement or with respect to the Pledged
Collateral, then the Pledgors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all such
reasonable documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or the
Secured Parties, all of which costs and expenses shall constitute Pledgor
Obligations hereunder.

     13. Continuing Agreement.

          (a) Upon this Pledge Agreement becoming effective in accordance with
     the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents, the Existing Pledge
     Agreements shall be deemed amended and restated by this Pledge Agreement.
     This Pledge Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and
     shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Pledgor
     Obligations remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnity or
     reimbursement obligations) or any Credit Document or Hedging Agreement is
     in effect, and until all of the Commitments thereunder shall have
     terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this Pledge Agreement shall
     be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the
     request and at the expense of the Pledgors, forthwith release all of its
     Liens and security interests hereunder and shall deliver all UCC
     termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the
     Pledgors evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
     releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of
     this Pledge Agreement.

          (b) This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
     automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in
     whole or in part, of any of the Pledgor Obligations is rescinded or must
     otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any
     Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any
     bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not
     been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the
     Pledgor Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all
     reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable
     legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any
     Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed
     to be included as a part of the Pledgor Obligations.

     14. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications. This Pledge Agreement and the
provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or
terminated except as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

     15. Successors in Interest; Release. This Pledge Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall be binding upon
each Pledgor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted
assigns; provided, however, that none of the Pledgors may assign its

                                       16

<PAGE>

rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Secured Party or the Required Secured Parties, as required by the Credit
Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby releases
the Administrative Agent, and its successors and assigns, from any liability for
any act or omission relating to this Pledge Agreement or the Pledged Collateral,
except for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Administrative Agent or its officers, employees or agents.

     16. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Pledge Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement.

     17. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It
shall not be necessary in making proof of this Pledge Agreement to produce or
account for more than one such counterpart.

     18. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2 or
     otherwise in this Security Agreement shall constitute a grant by any
     Obligor of a security interest in any contract, document, instrument,
     general intangible, lease, license or other right of any kind to the extent

     after giving effect to the provisions of subsections 9-406, 9-407 and 9-408
     of the UCC, constitute a breach or violation of any term thereof.

          (b) The Obligors and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
     Secured Parties, hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest
     created hereby in the Collateral (i) constitutes continuing collateral

<PAGE>

     whether now existing or hereafter arising and (ii) is not to be construed
     as an assignment of any Intellectual Property.

     3.   Provisions Relating to Accounts, Contracts and Agreements.

          (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the
     Obligors shall remain liable under each of its Accounts, contracts and
     agreements to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
     observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms
     of any agreement giving rise to each such Account or the terms of such
     contract or agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured
     Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any
     agreement giving rise thereto), contract or agreement by reason of or
     arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative
     Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account,
     contract or agreement pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent
     or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the
     obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant to any Account (or any
     agreement giving rise thereto), contract or agreement, to make any payment,
     to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment
     received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party
     under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), contract or
     agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
     performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
     assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
     Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the
     obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and
     through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Obligors
     shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative
     Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.
     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
     Administrative Agent's request and at the expense of the Obligors, the
     Obligors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory
     to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports
     showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial
     balances for, the Accounts. Subject to Section 2(a), the Administrative
     Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account
     debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent's
     satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts.

     4. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than
contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations) or any Credit Document or
Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of the Commitments shall have been
terminated:

                                       5

<PAGE>

          (a) Chief Executive Office; Books & Records; Legal Name; State of
     Formation. As of the Closing Date, each Obligor's chief executive office
     and chief place of business are (and for the prior four months has been)
     located at the locations set forth on Schedule 3.5-3 to the Credit
     Agreement and as of the Closing Date each Obligor keeps its books and
     records at such locations. As of the Closing Date, each Obligor's exact
     legal name is as shown in this Security Agreement and its state of
     formation is (and for the prior four months has been) the location set
     forth on Schedule 3.1-1 to the Credit Agreement. No Obligor has in the four
     months preceding the Closing Date changed its name, been party to a merger,
     consolidation or other change in structure or used any tradename not
     disclosed on Schedule 4(a) attached hereto.

          (b) Location of Tangible Collateral. The location of all tangible
     Collateral owned by each Obligor is set forth in the Perfection Certificate
     delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

          (c) Ownership. Each Obligor is the legal and beneficial owner of its
     Collateral and has the right to pledge, sell, assign or transfer the same.

          (d) Security Interest/Priority. This Security Agreement creates a
     valid security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the
     ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral of such Obligor
     and, when properly perfected by filing, the granting of Control to the
     Administrative Agent or otherwise, shall constitute a valid first priority,
     perfected security interest in such Collateral, to the extent such security

     interest created hereunder to the Lien securing the Purchase Money
     Financing by a subordination agreement reasonably acceptable to the
     Administrative Agent and the provider thereof or (ii) if the Obligor has
     not been able, after reasonable effort, to get the provider of such

     no Obligor shall, sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise
     dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein, except as permitted
     under the Credit Agreement; provided that in the event the Obligor makes an
     asset sale or sale and lease-back transaction permitted by the Credit
     Agreement and the assets subject to such asset sale or sale and lease-back
     transaction constitute Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall release
     the Collateral that is the subject of such asset sale to the Obligor free
     and clear of any Lien and security interest under this Security Agreement
     or any other Credit Document concurrently with the consummation of such
     asset sale or sale and lease-back transaction.

     condition and repair in all material respects, ordinary wear and tear
     excepted; not use the Collateral in violation of the provisions of this
     Security Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Collateral or any
     policy insuring the Collateral or any applicable Requirement of Law; not
     permit any Collateral to be or become a fixture to real property or an
     accession to other personal property unless the Administrative Agent has a
     valid, perfected and first priority security interest for the benefit of
     the Secured Parties in such real or personal property; and not, without the
     prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, alter or remove any
     identifying symbol or number on its Equipment.

     payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or
     become evidenced by any Instrument, Tangible Chattel Paper or Supporting
     Obligation or (ii) if any Collateral shall be stored or shipped subject to
     a Document or (iii) if any Collateral shall consist of Investment Property
     in the form of certificated securities, in the case of either clause (i) or
     (ii), in an amount of $50,000 or more, immediately notify the
     Administrative Agent of the existence of such Collateral and, upon the
     request of the Administrative Agent, deliver such Instrument, Chattel
     Paper, Supporting Obligation, Document or Investment Property to the
     Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the
     Administrative Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Security
     Agreement. If any Collateral shall consist of Deposit Accounts, Electronic
     Chattel Paper, Letter-of-Credit Rights or uncertificated Investment
     Property, execute and deliver (and, with respect to any Collateral
     consisting of uncertificated Security Entitlements or Investment Property,
     cause the Securities Intermediary or the issuer, as applicable, with
     respect to such Investment Property to execute and deliver) to the
     Administrative Agent all control agreements, assignments,

     of such Collateral.

          (e) Changes in Corporate Structure or Location. Not, without providing

          (g) Perfection of Security Interest. Mark its books and records to
     reflect the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the
     Collateral. Each Obligor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to
     prepare and file such financing statements (including continuation
     statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other
     instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time deem
     necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security
     interests granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC. To the extent
     permitted by applicable law, each Obligor hereby agrees that a carbon,
     photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any such
     financing statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by
     the Administrative Agent without notice thereof to such Obligor wherever
     the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine is appropriate. Each
     Obligor shall also execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such
     agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices,
     reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as
     the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) and do all such other
     things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or
     appropriate (i) to assure to the Administrative Agent its security
     interests hereunder are perfected, including (A) such financing statements
     (including continuation statements) or amendments thereof or supplements
     thereto or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to
     time reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the security
     interests granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC and any other
     personal property security legislation in the appropriate state(s) or
     province(s), (B) with regard to Copyrights, a Notice of Grant of Security

     in the form of Schedule 5(f)(i) attached hereto, (C) with regard to

     Patent and Trademark Office in the form of Schedule 5(f)(iii) attached
     hereto, (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii)
     to otherwise protect and assure the Administrative Agent of its rights and
     interests hereunder. To that end, each Obligor hereby irrevocably makes,
     constitutes and appoints the Administrative

                                       10

     designate, as such Obligor's attorney-in-fact with full power and for the
     limited purpose to sign in the name of such Obligor any notices or any
     similar documents which in the Administrative Agent's reasonable discretion
     would be necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain
     perfection of the security interests granted hereunder, such power, being
     coupled with an interest, being and remaining irrevocable so long as any of
     the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than any such obligations
     which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Credit
     Documents) or any Credit Document or Hedging Agreement (to the extent the
     obligations of such Obligor thereunder constitute Secured Obligations) is
     in effect, and until all of the Commitments shall have terminated. In the
     event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York
     becomes or is applicable to the Collateral of any Obligor or any part
     thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, such Obligor agrees to
     execute and deliver all such instruments and to do all such other things as
     the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion reasonably deems
     necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect and enforce the security
     interests of the Administrative Agent under the law of such other
     jurisdiction (and, if an Obligor shall fail to do so promptly upon the
     request of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may
     execute any and all such requested documents on behalf of such Obligor
     pursuant to the power of attorney granted hereinabove).

     than as normal and customary in the ordinary course of an Obligor's
     business and (ii) maintain at its principal place of business a record of
     Accounts consistent with customary business practices.

     and deliver such statements, documents and notices and do and cause to be
     done all such things as may be required by the Administrative Agent, or
     required by law, including all things which may from time to time be
     necessary under the UCC to fully create, preserve, perfect and protect the
     priority of the Administrative Agent's security interest in any Commercial
     Tort Claims.

          (o) Fixtures. At all times maintain the Collateral as personal
     property and not affix any of the Collateral to any real property (except
     real property in which the Administrative Agent has a valid, perfected and
     first priority security interest) in a manner which would change its nature
     from personal property to real property or a Fixture.

          (p) Insurance. Insure, repair and replace the Collateral of such
     Obligor as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the provisions of
     the Credit Agreement, all

                                       14

<PAGE>

     insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest of the
     Administrative Agent hereunder.

          (q) New Licenses and Leases. Use its commercially reasonable best
     efforts to ensure that any material license or any material lease obtained
     or entered into by such Obligor after the Closing Date does not contain
     legally enforceable restrictions on the granting of a security interest
     therein.

     6. License of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, etc. The Obligors hereby
assign, transfer and convey to the Administrative Agent, effective upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the nonexclusive right and license to use
all Trademarks, tradenames, Copyrights, Patents or technical processes owned or,
to the extent this license can be granted without violation of the Obligor's
license thereof, used by any Obligor that relate to the Collateral and any other
collateral granted by the Obligors as security for the Secured Obligations,
together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to
enable the Administrative Agent to use, possess and realize on the Collateral
and to enable any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral.
This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and
transferees of the Administrative Agent and its successors, assigns and
transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment,
transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and
license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment
whatsoever be made to the Obligors.

     7. Special Provisions Regarding Inventory. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Security Agreement, each Obligor may, unless and
until an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent
instructs such Obligor otherwise, without further consent or approval of the
Administrative Agent, use, consume, sell, lease and exchange its Inventory in
the ordinary course of its business as presently conducted, whereupon, in the
case of such a sale or exchange, the security interest created hereby in the
Inventory so sold or exchanged (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale
or exchange) shall cease immediately without any further action on the part of
the Administrative Agent.

     8. Performance of Obligations; Advances by Administrative Agent. On failure
of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein,
the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and sole discretion, perform or
cause to be performed the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof,
including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the
payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien,
expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other
expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the
security interest hereof or may be compelled to make by operation of law. All
such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint
and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall
constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date
said amounts are expended at the default rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set
forth in Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement. No such performance of any
covenant

                                       15

<PAGE>

or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Obligor, and no such
advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any default under
the terms of this Security Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any Hedging
Agreement. The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in
accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the
accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax
assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such
payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate
proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in
accordance with GAAP.

     9.   Events of Default.

     The occurrence of an event which under the Credit Agreement would
constitute an Event of Default shall be an event of default hereunder (an "Event
of Default").

     10.  Remedies.

          (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
     during continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent and the Secured
     Parties shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein,
     in the Credit Documents, in any Hedging Agreement or by law (including, but
     not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies
     set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction applicable to
     the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under
     the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where
     the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC
     applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Administrative Agent
     may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others,
     (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter on any premises on
     which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or
     interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii)
     subject to Section 10(c) with respect to leased properties, dispose of any
     Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to assemble and
     make available to the Administrative Agent at the expense of the Obligors
     any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent
     which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral
     from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other
     disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement,
     notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby
     waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, at any place and
     time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at
     public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels,
     for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as
     the Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject
     to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Neither the Administrative
     Agent's compliance with any applicable state or federal law in the conduct
     of such sale, nor its disclaimer of any warranties relating to the
     Collateral, shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial
     reasonableness of such sale. In addition to all other sums due the
     Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties

                                       16

<PAGE>

     with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall pay the
     Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties all reasonable
     documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any
     such Secured Party, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
     fees and court costs, in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in
     enforcing payment of the Secured Obligations, or in the prosecution or
     defense of any action or proceeding by or against the Administrative Agent
     or the Secured Parties or the Obligors concerning any matter arising out of
     or connected with this Security Agreement, any Collateral or the Secured
     Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising
     in, arising under or related to a case under the Bankruptcy Code. To the
     extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each
     Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if
     such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
     Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 9.2 of the
     Credit Agreement at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event
     giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent and
     the Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make any sale or other
     disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To
     the extent permitted by applicable law, any Secured Party may be a
     purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
     of the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect
     to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the
     Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may postpone or cause the
     postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by
     announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without
     further notice, to the extent permitted by law, be made at the time and
     place to which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent and the
     Secured Parties may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such
     time and place.

          (b) Remedies Relating to Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
     Default and during the continuation thereof, whether or not the
     Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies
     hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to
     applicable law, to enforce any Obligor's rights against any account debtors
     and obligors on such Obligor's Accounts. Each Obligor acknowledges and
     agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the
     Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section
     shall be solely for the Administrative Agent's own convenience in
     administering the provisions of this Security Agreement and that such
     Obligor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Proceeds or in
     any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. To the extent
     required by the Administrative Agent, each Obligor agrees to execute any
     document or instrument, and to take any action, necessary under applicable
     law (including the Federal Assignment of Claims Act) in order for the
     Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies (or be able to
     exercise its rights and remedies at some future date) with respect to any
     Accounts of such Obligor where the account debtor is a Governmental
     Authority. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have no
     liability or responsibility to any Obligor for acceptance of a check, draft
     or other order for payment of money bearing the legend "payment in full" or
     words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or
     be responsible for determining the correctness of any

                                       17

<PAGE>

     remittance. Each Obligor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative
     Agent and the Secured Parties from and against all liabilities, damages,
     losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable
     attorneys' fees suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the
     Secured Parties (each, an "Indemnified Party") because of the maintenance
     of the foregoing arrangements except as relating to or arising out of the
     gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its
     officers, employees or agents. In the case of any investigation, litigation
     or other proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether or
     not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by an Obligor,
     its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any
     other Person or any other Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.

          (c) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the
     occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the
     Obligors shall provide the Administrative Agent with access to the
     Collateral, without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and the
     reasonable use of the same, together with materials, supplies, books and
     records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the
     Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the
     Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise (except to the
     extent such activities are specifically restricted by the terms of any
     lease; provided, if the foregoing activities are specifically restricted by
     the terms of any lease, the Obligors shall promptly take all reasonable
     steps to move the Collateral at such lease location to a new location
     satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). In addition, the Administrative
     Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or
     any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or
     liquidate such Collateral. If the Administrative Agent exercises its right
     to take possession of the Collateral, each Obligor shall also at its
     expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the
     Administrative Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby
     granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating
     the security interest of the Administrative Agent, appointing overseers for
     the Collateral and maintaining inventory records.

          (d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative
     Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise any right, remedy or option under
     this Security Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Hedging Agreement
     or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the
     Secured Parties in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of
     any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective
     unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is
     sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated,
     which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties shall
     only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by law, neither
     the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, nor any party acting as
     attorney for the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, shall be
     liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or
     mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful
     misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent
     and the Secured Parties under this Security

                                       18

<PAGE>

     Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or
     remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties may have.

          (e) Retention of Collateral. IN addition to the rights and remedies
     hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the
     Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections
     9-620 and 9-621 (or similar provision) of the UCC (or any successor
     sections of the UCC) or otherwise complying with the requirements of
     applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the
     Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the
     Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the
     Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in
     satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

          (f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection
     or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
     Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the
     Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together
     with interest thereon at the default rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set
     forth in Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, together with the reasonable
     costs of collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by
     the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining
     after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be
     returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction
     shall determine to be entitled thereto.

          (g) Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations
     are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral
     (including, without limitation, real property and securities owned by an
     Obligor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person,
     then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such
     other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event
     of Default, and the Administrative Agent have the right, in its sole
     discretion, to determine which rights, security, Liens, security interests
     or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish,
     subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way
     modifying or affecting any of them or any of the Administrative Agent's and
     the Secured Parties' rights or the Secured Obligations under this Security
     Agreement, under any other of the Credit Documents or under any Hedging
     Agreement (to the extent the obligations of such Obligor thereunder
     constitute Secured Obligations).

     11.  Rights of the Administrative Agent.

          (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney
     contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the
     Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its
     designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and
     with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of

                                       19

<PAGE>

     the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
     Event of Default:

               (i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give
          discharges and releases, all as the Administrative Agent may
          reasonably determine with respect to the Collateral;

               (ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the
          purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in
          respect thereof;

               (iii) to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or
          proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge
          or release as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate
          with respect to the Collateral;

               (iv) to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor
          and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of
          lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents
          evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to
          the Collateral of such Obligor, or securing or relating to such
          Collateral, on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor;

               (v) to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of,
          or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any
          Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as
          fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the
          absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

               (vi) to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy
          relating to the Collateral;

               (vii) to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances,
          statements, financing statements, continuation statements, security
          agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and
          documents that the Administrative Agent may determine necessary in
          order to perfect and maintain the security interests and Liens granted
          in this Security Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the
          transactions contemplated herein;

               (viii) to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the
          Administrative Agent may deem appropriate;

                                       20

<PAGE>

               (ix) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the
          Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or
          convenient in connection with the Collateral; and

               (x) to execute any document or instrument, and to take any
          action, necessary under applicable law (including the Federal
          Assignment of Claims Act) in order for the Administrative Agent to
          exercise its rights and remedies (or to be able to exercise its rights
          and remedies at some future date) with respect to any Account of an
          Obligor where the account debtor is a Governmental Authority.

     This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
     irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain
     outstanding (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations)
     or any Credit Document or Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of
     the Commitments shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall
     be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights,
     powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the
     Administrative Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable
     for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent
     shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or
     any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as
     attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross
     negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on
     the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its
     security interest in the Collateral.

          (b) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
     may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations and any portion
     thereof and/or the Collateral and any portion thereof, and the assignee
     shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative
     Agent under this Security Agreement in relation thereto.

          (c) The Administrative Agent's Duty of Care. Other than the exercise
     of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being
     held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall
     have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being
     understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for
     preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent
     shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon
     surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The
     Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
     the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
     Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
     Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than
     the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry,
     it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have
     responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against
     any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a

                                       21

<PAGE>

     public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the
     Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up, repair or
     otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

     12. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured
Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the
Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties in cash or its equivalent,
will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth
in Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement, and each Obligor irrevocably waives
the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing
and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds
in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion (but subject in all events to
Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement), notwithstanding any entry to the
contrary upon any of its books and records.

     13. Costs of Counsel. If at any time hereafter, whether upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or not, the Administrative Agent employs counsel to
prepare or consider amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this
Security Agreement, or to take action or make a response in or with respect to
any legal or arbitral proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or relating
to the Collateral, or to protect the Collateral or exercise any rights or
remedies under this Security Agreement or with respect to the Collateral, then
the Obligors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all such reasonable
documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, all of which costs
and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder.

     14.  Continuing Agreement.

          (a) Upon this Security Agreement becoming effective in accordance with
     the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents, the Existing Security
     Agreements shall be deemed amended and restated by this Security Agreement.
     This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect
     and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured
     Obligations remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnity or
     reimbursement obligations) or any Credit Document or Hedging Agreement is
     in effect, and until all of the Commitments shall have been terminated.
     Upon such payment and termination, this Security Agreement shall be
     automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and the Secured
     Parties shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors,
     forthwith release all of their Liens and security interests hereunder and
     shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other
     documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing all releases and indemnities provided
     hereunder shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.

          (b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
     automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in
     whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
     otherwise be restored or returned by the

                                       22

<PAGE>

     Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent
     conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law,
     all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event
     payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
     be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including
     without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by
     the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in defending and enforcing
     such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured
     Obligations.

     15. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications. This Security Agreement and the
provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or
terminated except as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

     16. Successors in Interest; Release. This Security Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each
Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, to
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their
successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that none of the Obligors
may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Secured Party or the Required Secured Parties, as required by
the Credit Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Obligor
hereby releases the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party, each of their
respective officers, employees and agents and each of their respective
successors and assigns, from any liability for any act or omission relating to
this Security Agreement or the Collateral, except for any liability arising from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such
Secured Party or their respective officers, employees and agents.

     17. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this
