                  SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY, dated as of ________ __, 2001 (as

"Guaranty"), made by each of the undersigned guarantors (each a "Guarantor" and,
together with any other entity that becomes a guarantor hereunder pursuant to
Section 26 hereof, the "Guarantors"). Except as otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined
below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

                  WHEREAS, General Maritime Corporation (the Borrower"), the
lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders"), and Christiania Bank og
Kreditkasse ASA, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity,
together with any successor Administrative Agent, the "Administrative Agent"),
have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of ________ __, 2001 (as amended,
modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"), providing for the making of Loans to the Borrower as contemplated
therein (the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are
herein called the "Lender Creditors");

                  WHEREAS, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time
enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging
Agreements with one or more Lenders or any affiliate thereof (each such Lender
or affiliate, even if the respective Lender subsequently ceases to be a Lender
under the Credit Agreement for any reason, together with such Lender's or
affiliate's successors and assigns, if any, collectively, the "Other Creditors"
and, together with the Lender Creditors, the "Secured Creditors");

                  WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of
the Borrower;

                  WHEREAS, it is a condition to the making of Loans to the
Borrower under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and
delivered this Guaranty; and

                  WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the
incurrence of Loans to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the entering
into by the Borrower and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries of Interest Rate
Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements and, accordingly, desires to
execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the
preceding paragraph;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other
benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations
and warranties to the Secured Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with
each Secured Creditor as follows:

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 2

                  1. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably,
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees: (i) to the Lender Creditors the full
and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
issued by, and the Loans made to, the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and
(y) all other obligations (including obligations which, but for the automatic
stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities
and indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Lender Creditors under the Credit
Agreement and each other Credit Document to which the Borrower is a party
(including, without limitation, indemnities, Fees and interest thereon
(including any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the
Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such
proceeding), whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or
in connection with the Credit Agreement and any such other Credit Document and
the due performance and compliance by the Borrower with all of the terms,
conditions and agreements contained in all such Credit Documents (all such
principal, premium, interest, liabilities, indebtedness and obligations being
herein collectively called the "Credit Document Obligations"); and (ii) to each
Other Creditor the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations (including
obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities and indebtedness (including any
interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the respective
Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, whether or not
such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding) owing by the Borrower
and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries under any Interest Rate Protection
Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement, whether now in existence or hereafter
arising, and the due performance and compliance by the Borrower and such
Subsidiaries with all of the terms, conditions and agreements contained in each
Interest Rate Protection Agreement and Other Hedging Agreement to which it is a
party (all such obligations, liabilities and indebtedness being herein
collectively called the "Other Obligations" and, together with the Credit
Document Obligations, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). As used herein, the term
"Guaranteed Party" shall mean the Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof party to
any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement with an Other
Creditor. Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Secured
Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other
Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, against any security for
the Guaranteed Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

                  2. Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally,
unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and
all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrower or any
other Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrower or any
such other Guaranteed Party of any of the events specified in Section 10.05 of
the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and
severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Creditors,
or order, on demand. This Guaranty shall constitute a guaranty of payment, and
not of collection.

                  3. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary,
absolute, joint and several, and unconditional and is exclusive and independent
of any security for or other guaranty

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 3

of the indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party whether
executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by
any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be
affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including,
without limitation: (a) any direction as to application of payment by the
Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or by any other party, (b) any other
continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor
or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or
in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution,
termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower or
any other Guaranteed Party, (e) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any payment made to any Secured Creditor on the indebtedness which any
Secured Creditor repays the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party pursuant
to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or
other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the
deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such
proceeding, (f) any action or inaction by the Secured Creditors as
contemplated in Section 6 hereof or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any
security therefor.

                  4. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent
of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or
any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party
and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any
other Guaranteed Party be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefits of any statute of
limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any
payment by the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or other circumstance
which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower or any
other Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to
each Guarantor.

                  5. Any Secured Creditor may at any time and from time to time
without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring
responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations
of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in
whole or in part:

                  (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or
change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew or alter, any of the
Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of
interest thereon or the principal amount thereof), any security therefor, or any
liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty
herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended,
renewed or altered;

                  (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, impair, realize upon or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at
any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed
Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there
against;

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 4

                  (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Credit Party, any Subsidiary
thereof or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

                  (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers,
Guarantors, other guarantors, the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, or other
obligors;

                  (e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder)
incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may
subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any
liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to
creditors of the Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party other than the Secured
Creditors;

                  (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to
any liability or liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to
the Secured Creditors regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower or such
other Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

                  (g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or
default under, any of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging
Agreements, the Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements
referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement (in accordance
with their terms) any of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other
Hedging Agreements, the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or
agreements;

                  (h) act or fail to act in any manner which may deprive such
Guarantor of its right to subrogation against the Borrower or any other
Guaranteed Party to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to
this Guaranty; and/or

                  (i) take any other action which would, under otherwise
applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge
of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty.

                  6. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to
which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the
part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Creditor would
otherwise have hereunder. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case
shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Creditor
to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It
is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers
of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors,
partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf,

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 5

and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise
of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

                  7. Any indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed
Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the
indebtedness of the Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party to the Secured
Creditors, and such indebtedness of the Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party
to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so requests, shall
be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured
Creditors and be paid over to the Secured Creditors on account of the
indebtedness of the Borrower or the other Guaranteed Parties to the Secured
Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of
such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured
Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any
time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under
Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed
Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

                  8. (a) Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be
required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require the Secured
Creditors to: (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any
other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in
the Secured Creditors' power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party,
any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including,
without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the
Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party, or the unenforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from
any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party other
than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Secured Creditors may,
at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially
reasonable, or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have
against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any
security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been
paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such
election by the Secured Creditors, even though such election operates to impair
or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy
of such Guarantor against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other
party or any security.

                  (b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, promptness,
diligence, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without
limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor,
notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation
or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 6

responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's and each
other Guaranteed Party's financial condition and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations
and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and
incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Secured Creditors shall have no duty to
advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances
or risks.

                  Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers
set forth above in this Section 9 is made with full knowledge of its
significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to
be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be
effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

                  9. The Secured Creditors agree that this Guaranty may be
enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent,
in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, after the
date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and that no
other Secured Creditors shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or
to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and
remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
or, after all the Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, by the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations, as the case
may be, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this
Guaranty. The Secured Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be
enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder
of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is
also a Guarantor hereunder).

                  10. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the
Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the Other
Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Interest Rate Protection
Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, each Guarantor represents, warrants and
covenants that:

                  (a) Such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly
existing corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the
case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation, (ii) has the corporate or other applicable power and
authority, as the case may be, to own its property and assets and to transact
the business in which it is currently engaged and presently proposes to engage
and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business as currently
conducted requires such qualification, except for failures to be so qualified
which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b) Such Guarantor has the corporate or other applicable power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this
Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party and has taken all
necessary corporate or other applicable action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance by it of this Guaranty and each such other Credit
Document. Such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty and each
other Credit Document to which it is a party, and this Guaranty and each such
other Credit Document

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 7

constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor
enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except to
the extent that the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors' rights and by
equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity
or at law).

                  (c) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by such
Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which it is a party,
nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, will (i)
contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or
any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result
in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any
Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the material
properties or assets of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to
the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or credit
agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which
such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of
its material property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii)
violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws (or
equivalent organizational documents) of such Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries.

                  (d) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except as have been
obtained or made or, in the case of any filings or recordings of the Security
Documents (other than the Vessel Mortgages) executed on or before the Initial
Borrowing Date, will be made within 10 days of the Initial Borrowing Date), or
exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision
thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by such Guarantor or any
other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) the legality,
validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty or any other Credit
Document to which such Guarantor is a party.

                  (e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
such Guarantor's knowledge, threatened (i) with respect to this Guaranty or any
other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) with respect to
such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  11. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the
Effective Date and until the termination of the Total Commitment and all
Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and until such
time as no Note remains outstanding and all Guaranteed Obligations have been
paid in full, such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to comply, with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and
agreements contained in Sections 8 and 9 of the Credit Agreement, and will take,
or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary
to be taken or not taken so that it is not in violation of any provision,
covenant or agreement contained in Section 8 or 9 of the Credit

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                        Page 8

Agreement, and so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the
actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  12. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) each Secured Creditor in
connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by each Secured
Creditor) and (ii) the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment,
waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Administrative Agent).

                  13. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors
and their successors and assigns.

                  14. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of
each Guarantor directly affected thereby and with the written consent of either
(x) the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the
Credit Agreement, with the written consent of each Lender) at all times prior to
the time on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full or (y)
the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations at all
times after the time on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in
full; PROVIDED, that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the
rights and benefits of a single Class (as defined below) of Secured Creditors
(and not all Secured Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall also require
the written consent of the Requisite Creditors (as defined below) of such Class
of Secured Creditors (it being understood that the addition or release of any
Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or
termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or
released). For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term "Class" shall mean each
class of Secured Creditors, I.E., whether (x) the Lender Creditors as holders of
the Credit Document Obligations or (y) the Other Creditors as the holders of the
Other Obligations. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term "Requisite
Creditors" of any Class shall mean (x) with respect to the Credit Document
Obligations, the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12
of the Credit Agreement, each Lender) and (y) with respect to the Other
Obligations, the holders of at least a majority of all obligations outstanding
from time to time under the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other
Hedging Agreements.

                  15. Each Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or
conformed) copy of each of the Credit Documents and Interest Rate Protection
Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements has been made available to a senior
officer of such Guarantor and such officer is familiar with the contents
thereof.

                  16. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York
Debtor and Secured Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such
rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default

Agreement and any payment default under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement
or Other Hedging Agreement continuing after any applicable grace period), each
Secured Creditor is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without

GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this
Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which any Guarantor is a party may be
brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of
America for the Southern District of New York in each case which are located in
the City of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each
Guarantor hereby further irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law) any claim that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over
such Guarantor, and agrees not to plead or claim in any legal action or
proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which
such Guarantor is a party brought in any of the aforesaid courts that any such
court lacks personal jurisdiction over such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further
irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned
courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address
set forth in Section 18 hereof, such service to become effective 30 days after
such mailing. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law) any objection to such service of process and
further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or
proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document to which such
Guarantor is a party that such service of process was in any way invalid or
ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any of the Secured
Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence
legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Guarantor in any other
jurisdiction.

                  (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law) any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings
arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any other Credit Document
to which such Guarantor is a party brought in the courts referred to in clause
(a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law) and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that such
action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

                  (c) EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED CREDITOR (BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL
RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH
GUARANTOR IS A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

                  20. In the event that all of the capital stock or other equity
interests of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of or
liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.02 of the Credit
Agreement (or such sale or other disposition has been approved in writing by the
Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 of the Credit
Agreement)) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are
applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent
applicable, such Guarantor shall upon consummation of such sale or other
disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to the
Borrower or another Subsidiary thereof) be released from this Guaranty
automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each
such Guarantor or

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                       Page 11

Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being
understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly
or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of any
Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of
this Section 21).

                  21. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each
Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the
immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor
to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a "Relevant
Payment") is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time
that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate
payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and
including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor's
Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all
Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of
the Relevant Payment (such excess, the "Aggregate Excess Amount"), each such
Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who
has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the
date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other
Guarantor's Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and
including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the "Aggregate
Deficit Amount") in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is
the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is
the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate
Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor's right of contribution
pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation,
subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; PROVIDED that no
Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full in cash, it being expressly recognized and
agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor's right of contribution arising
pursuant to this Section 22 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly
junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor's obligations and liabilities in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this
Guaranty. As used in this Section 22: (i) each Guarantor's "Contribution
Percentage" shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net
Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net
Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the "Adjusted Net Worth" of each Guarantor shall
mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and
(y) zero; and (iii) the "Net Worth" of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by
which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor's assets on the date of any
Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including
contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations
arising under this Guaranty or any guaranteed obligations arising under any
guaranty of the Senior Subordinated Notes) on such date. All parties hereto
recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant
to this Section 22, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation
against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash. Each of the
Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising
hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such
contribution. In this connection, each

<PAGE>
                                                                     Exhibit F
                                                                       Page 12

Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor
to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would
remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

                  22. Each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its
acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its
intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by
its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that
the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such
amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
(contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under
such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any
agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the
other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in
respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

                  23. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original (including if
delivered by facsimile transmission), but all of which shall together constitute
one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties
hereto shall be lodged with the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent.

                  24. (a) All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be
made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, will be made in the currency
or currencies in which the respective Guaranteed Obligations are then due and
payable and will be made on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrower
under Sections 4.03 and 4.04 of the Credit Agreement.

                  (b) The Guarantors' obligations hereunder to make payments in
the respective currency or currencies in which the respective Guaranteed
Obligations are required to be paid (such currency being herein called the
"Obligation Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or
recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency
other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the respective other Secured Creditor of the full amount of
the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or such other Secured Creditor under this Guaranty or the other
Credit Documents or any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging
Agreement, as applicable. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment
against any Guarantor in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary
to convert into or form any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such
other currency being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an
amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the
Relevant Currency Equivalent thereof or, in the case of conversion into other
currencies, at the rate of exchange (quoted by the Administrative Agent,
determined, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which
the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the
"Judgment Currency Conversion Date").

                  (c) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing
between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of
the amount due, the Guarantors jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay,
or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a
lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the
Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date
of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have
been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment
or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date.

                  (d) For purposes of determining the Relevant Currency
Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 25, such amounts shall
include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the
Obligation Currency.

                  25. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the
Borrower that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the
date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall automatically become a
Guarantor hereunder by executing a counterpart hereof and/or a Subsidiary
assumption agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, and delivering the same to the Administrative Agent.

         Interest is represented by a certificate and is a Security for
         purposes of the UCC, the procedure set forth in Section 3.2(a)(i)
         hereof, and (2) if such Partnership Interest or Limited Liability
         Company Interest is not represented by a certificate or is not a
         Security for purposes of the UCC, the procedure set forth in Section
         3.2(a)(ii) hereof; and

                 (v) with respect to cash proceeds from any of the Collateral
         described in Section 3.1 hereof which are not released to such Pledgor
         in accordance with Section 6 hereof, (i) establishment by the Pledgee
         of a cash account in the name of such Pledgor over which the Pledgee
         shall have exclusive and absolute control and dominion (and no
         withdrawals or transfers may be made therefrom by any Person except
         with the prior written consent of the Pledgee) and (ii) deposit of such
         cash in such cash account.

                 (b) In addition to the actions required to be taken pursuant to
         Section 3.2(a) hereof, each Pledgor shall take the following additional
         actions with respect to the Collateral:

                 (i) with respect to all Collateral of such Pledgor whereby or
         with respect to which the Pledgee may obtain "control" thereof within
         the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC (or under any provision of the
         UCC as same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or under
         the laws of any relevant State other than the State of New York), the
         respective Pledgor shall take all actions as may be reasonably
         requested from time to time by the Pledgee so that "control" of such
         Collateral is obtained and at all times held by the Pledgee; and

                (ii) each Pledgor shall from time to time cause appropriate
         financing statements (on Form UCC-1 or other appropriate form) under
         the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the various relevant
         states, covering all Collateral hereunder (with the form of such
         financing statements to be satisfactory to the Pledgee), to be filed in
         the relevant filing offices so that at all times the Pledgee has a
         security interest in all Collateral which is perfected by the filing of
         such financing statements (in each case to the maximum extent
         perfection by filing may be obtained under the laws of the relevant
         states, including, without limitation, Section 9-115(4)(b) of the UCC).

                  3.3. SUBSEQUENTLY ACQUIRED COLLATERAL. If any Pledgor shall
acquire (by purchase, stock dividend or similar distribution or otherwise) any
additional Collateral at any time or from time to time after the date hereof,
such Collateral shall automatically (and without any further action being
required to be taken) be subject to the pledge and security interests created
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and, furthermore, the respective Pledgor will
promptly thereafter take (or cause to be taken) all action with respect to such
Collateral in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2 hereof,
and will promptly thereafter deliver to the Pledgee (i) a certificate executed
by a principal executive officer of such Pledgor describing such Collateral and
certifying that the same has been duly pledged in favor of the Pledgee (for the
benefit of the Secured Creditors) hereunder and (ii) supplements to Annexes A
through F hereto as are reasonably necessary to cause such annexes to be
complete and accurate at such time.

                  3.4. TRANSFER TAXES. Each pledge of Collateral under Section

required in connection with the pledge of such Collateral.

                  3.5. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE

(xi) on the date hereof, such Pledgor owns no other [Stock][Securities], Limited
Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests.

                  4. APPOINTMENT OF SUB-AGENTS; ENDORSEMENTS, ETC. If and to the
extent necessary to enable the Pledgee to perfect its security interest in any
of the Collateral or to exercise any of its remedies hereunder, the Pledgee
shall have the right to appoint one or more sub-agents for the purpose of
retaining physical possession of the Collateral, which may be held (in the
discretion of the Pledgee) in the name of the relevant Pledgor, endorsed or
assigned in blank or in favor of the Pledgee or any nominee or nominees of the
Pledgee or a sub-agent appointed by the Pledgee.

                  5. VOTING, ETC., WHILE NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. Unless and until
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, each Pledgor
shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights
pertaining to the Collateral owned by it, and to give consents, waivers or
ratifications in respect thereof; PROVIDED that, in each case, no vote shall be
cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken or omitted
to be taken which would violate or be inconsistent with any of the terms of any
Secured Debt Agreement, or which could reasonably be expected to have the effect
of impairing the value of the Collateral or any part thereof or the position or
interests of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor in the Collateral unless
expressly permitted by the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements. All such rights
of each Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall
cease in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and Section 7
hereof shall become applicable.

                  6. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless and until there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, all cash dividends,
cash distributions, cash Proceeds and other cash amounts payable in respect of
the Collateral shall be paid to the respective Pledgor. The Pledgee shall be
entitled to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral:

                 (i) all other or additional stock, notes, limited liability
         company interests, partnership interests, instruments or other
         securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash dividends
         other than as set forth above in the first sentence of this Section 6)
         paid or distributed by way of dividend or otherwise in respect of the
         Collateral;

                (ii) all other or additional stock, notes, limited liability
         company interests, partnership interests, instruments or other
         securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash) paid or
         distributed in respect of the Collateral by way of stock-split,
         spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar
         rearrangement; and

               (iii) all other or additional stock, notes, limited liability
         company interests, partnership interests, instruments or other
         securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash) which may
         be paid in respect of the Collateral by reason of any consolidation,
         merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar
         corporate or other reorganization.

All dividends, distributions or other payments which are received by any Pledgor
contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 7 hereof shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other
property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over and/or
delivered to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsement).

                  7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If there shall
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such
case, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and
remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, any other Secured Debt
Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect
of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in any relevant jurisdiction and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to
exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be
commercially reasonable:

                  (i) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the
         Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 hereof to the respective
         Pledgor;

                  (ii) to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the
         Pledgee's name or the name of its nominee or nominees;

                  (iii) to vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or
         not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents,
         waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise
         act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner

<PAGE>

                                                                         Page 13

         thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing
         the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full
         power of substitution to do so);

                  (iv) at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and
         deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the
         Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale,
         without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to
         sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to
         redeem or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor),
         for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future
         delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or
         prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may
         determine, PROVIDED that at least 10 days' written notice of the time
         and place of any such sale shall be given to the respective Pledgor.
         The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any such sale of Collateral
         regardless of whether any such notice of sale has theretofore been
         given. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent
         permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the
         Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if
         any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the
         Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by
         applicable law, the Pledgee on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid
         for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from
         any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Pledgee nor any
         other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or
         realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing
         nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action
         whatsoever with regard thereto; and;

                  (v) to set-off any and all Collateral against any and all
         Obligations.

                  8. REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each and every right, power and
remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured
Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such
right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee
or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or
remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall
not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other
Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or
delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to exercise any
such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or
demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any
of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to any other or
further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured
Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the
Pledgee, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or,
after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full,
the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and
that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to
enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be
granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may
be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the
terms of this Agreement.

                  9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) All monies collected by the
Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral of each Pledgor,
together with all other monies received by the Pledgee hereunder (except to the
extent released in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
or any other Credit Document), shall be applied to the payment of the
Obligations as follows:

                  (i) first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Pledgee of
         the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 1.1;

                  (ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the
         application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to
         the outstanding Primary Obligations constituting Credit Document
         Obligations shall be paid to the Lenders as provided in Section 9(d)
         hereof, with each Lender receiving an amount equal to such outstanding
         Primary Obligations constituting Credit Document Obligations or, if the
         proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations
         constituting Credit Document Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the
         amount remaining to be distributed;

                  (iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the
         application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount
         equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations constituting Other
         Obligations shall be paid to the Other Creditors as provided in Section
         9(d) hereof, with each Other Creditor receiving an amount equal to such
         outstanding Primary Obligations constituting Other Obligations or, if
         the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary
         Obligations constituting Other Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the
         amount remaining to be distributed;

                  (iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the
         application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii),
         inclusive, an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations
         shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 9(d)
         hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its
         outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient
         to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of
         the amount remaining to be distributed; and

                  (v) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
         pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, and
         following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20
         hereof, to the relevant Pledgor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled
         to receive such surplus.

                  (b) For purposes of this Agreement (x) "Pro Rata Share" shall
mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor's portion of any distribution or
amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the
numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor's Primary
Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of
which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary
Obligations, as the case may be, (y) "Primary Obligations" shall mean (i) in the
case of the Credit Document Obligations, all principal of, and interest on, all
Loans and all fees incurred under the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of
the Other Obligations, all amounts due under such Interest Rate Protection
Agreements (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation,

<PAGE>

                                                                         Page 15

attorneys' fees) and similar obligations and liabilities) and (z) "Secondary
Obligations" shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations.

                  (c) When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their
respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors
hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this
Section 9 only) (i) first, to their Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to
their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro
Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured
Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the
unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the
other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or
Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive
an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case
may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid
Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured
Creditors entitled to such distribution.

                  (d) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made
(x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under the Credit
Agreement for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other
Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each a
"Representative") for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a
Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.

                  (e) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance
with this Section 9, the Pledgee shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Representative for
the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other
Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each
Representative for any Other Creditors and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall
agree) to provide upon request of the Pledgee) of the outstanding Primary
Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other
Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way
of written notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor) to the contrary,
the Administrative Agent and each Representative, in furnishing information
pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Pledgee, in acting hereunder, shall
be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it
has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor)
to the contrary, the Pledgee, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume
that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements are in existence.

                  (f) It is understood and agreed that each Pledgor shall remain
jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount
of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the aggregate
amount of the Obligations of such Pledgor.

                  10. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of the Collateral
by the Pledgee hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted,
pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the
officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or
purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser

                                                                         Page 16

or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of
the purchase money paid over to the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in
any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

                  11. INDEMNITY. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees (i)
to indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee and each other Secured Creditor and
their respective successors, assigns, employees, agents and affiliates
(individually an "Indemnitee," and collectively the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities
(including liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and (ii) to
reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, in each case growing out of or resulting from this
Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it
hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Agreement (but excluding any claims,
demands, losses, judgments and liabilities or expenses to the extent incurred by
reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision)). In no event shall the Pledgee be liable, in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on its part, for any matter or thing in
connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies actually
received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. If and to the extent that
the obligations of any Pledgor under this Section 11 are unenforceable for any
reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under
applicable law.

                  12. PLEDGEE NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER.
(a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Secured
Creditor liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of
any partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor by virtue
of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence)
shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any
limited liability company or partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree
that, unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of Collateral
consisting of a Limited Liability Company Interest or Partnership Interest
pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership
or joint venture among the Pledgee, any other Secured Creditor, any Pledgor
and/or any other Person.

                  (b) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a)
of this Section 12, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to
become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership
or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor, any
limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before or
after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall have only those
powers set forth herein and the Secured Creditors shall assume none of the
duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company
or as a partner of any partnership or any Pledgor except as provided in the last
sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.

                  (c) The Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall not be
obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of
the pledge hereby effected.

                                                                         Page 17

                  (d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all
the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time
or in any event obligate the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to appear in
or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not
a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money
or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability
under the Collateral.

                  13. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. (a) Each Pledgor
agrees that it will join with the Pledgee in executing and, at such Pledgor's
own expense, file and refile under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law such financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents in such offices as the Pledgee may deem reasonably necessary and
wherever required by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee's security
interest in the Collateral and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file financing
statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral
without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by law, and agrees to do
such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Pledgee such
additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee
may reasonably require or deem necessary to carry into effect the purposes of
this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Pledgee its rights,
powers and remedies hereunder.

                  (b) Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee such Pledgor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and
in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to act from time to time solely after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the
Pledgee's reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument
which the Pledgee may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement.

                  14. THE PLEDGEE AS AGENT. The Pledgee will hold in accordance
with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this
Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by each Secured Creditor that
by accepting the benefits of this Agreement each such Secured Creditor
acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Pledgee as holder of the
Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof,
and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement. The Pledgee shall act
hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 12 of the
Credit Agreement.

                  15. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGORS. No Pledgor will sell or
otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or
otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein (except as may
be permitted in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements).

         hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting
         creditors' rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether
         enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

         and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of,
         exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or

         performance by such Pledgor of this Agreement, (b) the legality,
         validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement, (c) the
         perfection or enforceability of the Pledgee's security interest in the
         Collateral pledged by such Pledgor hereunder or (d) except for
         compliance with or as may be required by applicable securities laws,

         certificate of formation, operating agreement, limited liability
         company agreement, partnership agreement or by-laws of such Pledgor, as
         applicable, or of any securities issued by such Pledgor or any of its
         Subsidiaries, or of any mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, lease, loan
         agreement, credit agreement or other material contract, agreement or
         instrument or undertaking to which such Pledgor or any of its
         Subsidiaries is a party or which purports to be binding upon such
         Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries or upon any of their respective
         assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the
         obligation to create or impose) any lien or encumbrance on any of the
         assets of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries which are Credit
         Parties, except as contemplated by this Agreement;

<PAGE>

                                                                         Page 19

                  (vi) all of the Collateral has been duly and validly issued
         and acquired, is fully paid and non-assessable and is subject to no
         options to purchase or similar rights;

                  (vii) the pledge and collateral assignment to, and possession
         by, the Pledgee of the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor hereunder
         consisting of Certificated Securities pursuant to this Agreement
         creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such
         Certificated Securities, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior
         Lien or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a Lien
         on the property or assets of such Pledgor which would include the
         Certificated Securities, except for Permitted Liens, and the Pledgee is
         entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC
         or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to
         perfect security interests in respect of such Collateral; and;

                  (viii) "control" (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) has
         been obtained by the Pledgee over all Collateral pledged by such
         Pledgor hereunder consisting of Stock with respect to which such
         "control" may be obtained pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC, and
         "control" (as defined in Section 9-104 of Revised Article 9 (to the
         extent such Revised Article 9 remains in effect on or after July 1,
         2001 in any applicable jurisdiction)) has been obtained by the Pledgee
         over all Concentration Accounts with respect to which such "control"
         may be obtained pursuant ot Section 9-104 of Revised Article 9 of the
         UCC.

                  (b) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend the
Pledgee's right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral and the
proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and
each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and right to
pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Pledgee as
Collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the right thereto and security
interest therein of the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors.

                  17. JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION; CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE;
RECORDS. The jurisdiction of organization of each Pledgor is specified in Annex
A hereto. The chief executive office of each Pledgor is located at the address
specified in Annex F hereto. Each Pledgor will not change the jurisdiction of
its organization or move its chief executive office except to such new
jurisdiction or location as such Pledgor may establish in accordance with the
last sentence of this Section 17. The originals of all documents in the
possession of such Pledgor evidencing all Collateral, including but not limited
to all Limited Liability Company Interests and Partnership Interests, and the
only original books of account and records of such Pledgor relating thereto are,
and will continue to be, kept at such chief executive office as specified in
Annex F hereto, or at such new locations as such Pledgor may establish in
accordance with the last sentence of this Section 17. All Limited Liability
Company Interests and Partnership Interests are, and will continue to be,
maintained at, and controlled and directed (including, without limitation, for
general accounting purposes) from, such chief executive office as specified in
Annex F hereto, or such new locations as such Pledgor may establish in
accordance with the last sentence of this Section 17. No Pledgor shall establish
a new jurisdiction of organization or a new location for such chief executive
offices until (i) it shall have given to the Pledgee not less than 15 days'
prior written notice of its intention so to do,

<PAGE>

                                                                         Page 20

providing clear details of such new jurisdiction of organization or new
location, as the case may be, and providing such other information in
connection therewith as the Pledgee may reasonably request, and (ii) with
respect to such new jurisdiction of organization or new location, as the case
may be, it shall have taken all action, satisfactory to the Pledgee (and, to
the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof), to maintain the
security interest of the Pledgee in the Collateral intended to be granted
hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect. Promptly
after establishing a new jurisdiction of organization or new location for such
chief executive offices in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence,
the respective Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee a supplement to Annex A
hereto or Annex F hereto, as the case may be, so as to cause such Annex A or F,
as the case may be, to be complete and accurate.

                  18. PLEDGORS' OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. The obligations of
each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,
suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or
occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (i) any renewal,
extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion
from any Secured Debt Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to
therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (ii) any waiver, consent,
extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any
such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement;
(iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee
or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its
assignee; (iv) any limitation on any party's liability or obligations under any
such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or
in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or (v) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary
of any Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any
trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not
such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing (it being
understood and agreed that the enforcement hereof may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, restructuring, moratorium or other similar laws
generally affecting creditors' rights and by equitable principles).

                  19. REGISTRATION, ETC. If at any time when the Pledgee shall
determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral
consisting of Stock, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership
Interests pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and the Collateral or the part thereof
to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under
the Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, sell such Collateral, as the case may be, or part thereof by private
sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem
necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without
such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such
event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion (i) may proceed to make
such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose
of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under such
Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser
to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will
represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral
or part thereof. In

<PAGE>

                                                                         Page 21

the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or
liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price which the
Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, in good faith deems reasonable
under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially
higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until after
registration as aforesaid.

                  20. TERMINATION; RELEASE. (a) After the Termination Date, this
Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall terminate (provided
that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section
11 hereof shall survive any such termination), and the Pledgee, at the request
and expense of any Pledgor, will as promptly as practicable execute and deliver
to such Pledgor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the
satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or
warranty) such of the Collateral as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise
applied or released pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
together with any monies at the time held by the Pledgee or any of its
sub-agents hereunder. As used in this Agreement, "Termination Date" shall mean
the date upon which the Total Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been
terminated and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging
Agreements entered into with any Other Creditors have been terminated, no Note
under the Credit Agreement is outstanding and all Loans thereunder have been
repaid in full and all Obligations then due and payable have been paid in full.

                  (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold in
connection with a sale permitted by the Secured Debt Agreements (other than a
sale to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary thereof) or is otherwise released with the
consent of the Required Secured Creditors and the proceeds of such sale or sales
or from such release are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, to the extent required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the request
and expense of the respective Pledgor, will duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such
of the Collateral (and releases therefor) as is then being (or has been) so sold
or released and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (c) At any time that a Pledgor desires to close a
Concentration Account, it shall, with the consent of the Pledgee, redirect the
contents of such Concentration Account, and all future deposits required to be
made in such Concentration Account, to Account No.: [_________], Account Name:
[__________] Concentration Account (the "Primary Concentration Account").

                  (d) At any time that a Pledgor desires that the Pledgee
assign, transfer and deliver Collateral (and releases therefor) as provided in
Section 20(a) or (b) hereof, it shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate
signed by a principal executive officer of such Pledgor stating that the release
of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 20(a) or (b).

                  (e) The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any
other Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in
accordance with this Section 20.

parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties hereto and its
successors and assigns, provided that no Pledgor may assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement except in accordance with the terms of the
Secured Debt Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES (OTHER

Pledged Interests, and (ii) the Issuer Pledged Interests are fully paid and
nonassessable.
