         capital  stock  or  securities  at the  time  pledged  with  the  Agent

         Collateral Account may be invested in time deposits, including, without

         Collateral Account, any and all Time Deposits,  any and all instruments
         or other writings  evidencing Time Deposits and any and all proceeds or

         possession of any  instruments  or other  writings  evidencing any Time
         Deposits.

         5.  Warranty  of  Title;  Authority.   Each  of  the  Companies  hereby
represents and warrants that: (a) such Company has good and marketable title to,
and is the sole record and  beneficial  owner of, the Stock  described  in ss.1,
subject to no pledges, liens, security interests, charges, options, restrictions
or other  encumbrances  except the pledge and security  interest created by this
Agreement,  (b) all of the Stock described in ss.1 is validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable,  (c) such Company has full power,  authority and legal right








to execute,  deliver and perform its  obligations  under this  Agreement  and to
pledge and grant a security interest in all of the Stock Collateral  pursuant to
this  Agreement,  and the  execution,  delivery and  performance  hereof and the
pledge of and granting of a security interest in the Stock Collateral  hereunder
have been duly authorized by all necessary  corporate or other action and do not
contravene  any law,  rule or  regulation  or any  provision  of such  Company's
charter documents or by-laws or of any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal
or of any  agreement or  instrument to which such Company is a party or by which
it or  any of its  property  is  bound  or  affected  or  constitute  a  default
thereunder,  and (d) the information set forth in Annex A hereto relating to the
Stock is true,  correct and  complete  in all  respects.  Each of the  Companies
covenants that it will defend the rights of the Banks and the Agent and security
interest of the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent, in such Stock
against  the claims and  demands of all other  persons  whomsoever.  Each of the
Companies  further  covenants  that it will have the like  title to and right to
pledge and grant a security  interest in the Stock Collateral  hereafter pledged
or in which a  security  interest  is granted  to the Agent  hereunder  and will
likewise defend the rights,  pledge and security interest thereof and therein of
the Banks and the Agent.

         6. Dividends, Voting, etc., Prior to Maturity. So long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  the Companies  shall be
entitled to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Stock, to vote the
Stock and to give consents,  waivers and  ratifications in respect of the Stock;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification
given by any  Company  if the  effect  thereof  would  impair  any of the  Stock
Collateral  or be  inconsistent  with or result in any  violation  of any of the
provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  All such
rights of the Companies to receive cash  dividends  shall cease in case an Event
of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing.  All such  rights of the
Companies to vote and give consents,  waivers and ratifications  with respect to
the Stock shall,  at the Agent's option,  as evidenced by the Agent's  notifying
the  Companies of such  election,  cease in case an Event of Default  shall have
occurred and be continuing.

         7.  Remedies.

                  7.1. In General.  If an Event of Default  shall have  occurred
         and be continuing, the Agent shall thereafter have the following rights
         and remedies (to the extent permitted by applicable law) in addition to
         the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
         Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, all such rights and remedies
         being  cumulative,   not  exclusive,  and  enforceable   alternatively,
         successively or concurrently,  at such time or times as the Agent deems
         expedient:

                           (a) if the Agent so elects  and gives  notice of such
                  election  to the  Companies,  the  Agent  may  vote any or all
                  shares of the Stock  (whether  or not the same shall have been
                  transferred  into  its  name  or the  name of its  nominee  or
                  nominees)   for  any  lawful   purpose,   including,   without
                  limitation, if the Agent so elects, for the liquidation of the
                  assets of the issuer thereof,  and give all consents,  waivers
                  and  ratifications  in respect of the Stock and  otherwise act
                  with  respect  thereto  as though it were the  outright  owner
                  thereof (each of the Companies hereby irrevocably constituting
                  and  appointing  the Agent the proxy and  attorney-in-fact  of
                  such Company, with full power of substitution, to do so);







                           (b) the Agent may  demand,  sue for,  collect or make
                  any  compromise  or  settlement  the Agent  deems  suitable in
                  respect of any Stock Collateral;

                           (c) the Agent may sell,  resell,  assign and deliver,
                  or  otherwise  dispose of any or all of the Stock  Collateral,
                  for cash or credit or both and upon such  terms at such  place
                  or places, at such time or times and to such entities or other
                  persons as the Agent thinks expedient,  all without demand for
                  performance  by the  Companies or any notice or  advertisement
                  whatsoever  except  as  expressly  provided  herein  or as may
                  otherwise be required by law;

                           (d) the  Agent may cause all or any part of the Stock
                  held by it to be transferred  into its name or the name of its
                  nominee or nominees; and

                           (e) the Agent may set off against the Obligations any
                  and all  sums  deposited  with  it or  held  by it,  including
                  without  limitation,  any sums  standing  to the credit of the
                  Cash  Collateral  Account and any Time Deposits  issued by the
                  Agent.

                  7.2. Sale of Stock Collateral. In the event of any disposition
         of the Stock Collateral as provided in clause (c) of ss.7.1,  the Agent
         shall give to the  Companies at least ten Business  Days prior  written
         notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Stock Collateral
         or of the time  after  which any  private  sale or any  other  intended
         disposition is to be made.  Each of the Companies  hereby  acknowledges
         that ten Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall
         be  reasonable  notice.  The Agent may  enforce  its  rights  hereunder
         without  any  other  notice  and  without  compliance  with  any  other
         condition precedent now or hereunder imposed by statute, rule of law or
         otherwise  (all of which  are  hereby  expressly  waived by each of the
         Companies,  to the fullest extent  permitted by law). The Agent may buy
         any part or all of the Stock  Collateral  at any public sale and if any
         part or all of the Stock  Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a
         recognized  market or is of the type  which is the  subject  of widely-
         distributed  standard  price  quotations,  the Agent may buy at private
         sale and may make  payments  thereof by any means.  The Agent may apply
         the cash proceeds  actually received from any sale or other disposition
         to the reasonable  expenses of retaking,  holding,  preparing for sale,
         selling and the like, to  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  travel and all
         other  expenses  which may be  incurred by the Agent in  attempting  to
         collect  the  Obligations  or to  enforce  this  Agreement  or  in  the
         prosecution  or  defense  of any  action or  proceeding  related to the
         subject matter of this Agreement,  and then to the Obligations pursuant
         to  ss.14  of the  Credit  Agreement.  To the  extent  that  any of the
         Obligations  are to be paid or  performed  by a person  other  than any
         Company,  each of the  Companies  waives  and  agrees not to assert any
         rights or  privileges  which it may have under  ss.9-112 of the Uniform
         Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

                  7.3.  Registration  of Stock.  If the Agent shall determine to
         exercise  its  right to sell any or all of the Stock  pursuant  to this
         ss.7,  and if in the opinion of counsel for the Agent it is  necessary,
         or if in the reasonable  opinion of the Agent it is advisable,  to have
         the Stock,  or that portion  thereof to be sold,  registered  under the
         provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the







         "Securities Act"), each of the Companies agrees to use its best efforts
         to cause the issuer or issuers of the Stock contemplated to be sold, to
         execute  and  deliver,  and cause the  directors  and  officers of such
         issuer to execute and deliver,  all at the Companies' expense, all such
         instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other
         acts and things as may be necessary  or, in the  reasonable  opinion of
         the Agent, advisable to register such Stock under the provisions of the
         Securities Act and to cause the registration statement relating thereto
         to become  effective  and to remain  effective for a period of 9 months
         from the date such registration statement became effective, and to make
         all  amendments  thereto or to the related  prospectus or both that, in
         the reasonable opinion of the Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in
         conformity  with the  requirements  of the Securities Act and the rules
         and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission  applicable
         thereto.  Each of the Companies agrees to use its best efforts to cause
         such issuer or issuers to comply with the  provisions of the securities
         or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction  which the Agent shall designate
         and to cause such issuer or issuers to make  available  to its security
         holders, as soon as practicable,  an earnings statement (which need not
         be audited)  which will satisfy the  provisions of Section 11(a) of the
         Securities Act.

                  7.4. Private Sales. Each of the Companies  recognizes that the
         Agent may be  unable to effect a public  sale of the Stock by reason of
         certain  prohibitions  contained in the Securities Act, federal banking
         laws, and other  applicable laws, but may be compelled to resort to one
         or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers. Each
         of the  Companies  agrees that any such private  sales may be at prices
         and other  terms less  favorable  to the seller  than if sold at public
         sales and that such private sales shall not by reason thereof be deemed
         not to have been made in a commercially  reasonable  manner.  The Agent
         shall be under no  obligation  to delay a sale of any of the  Stock for
         the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to
         register such  securities for public sale under the Securities  Act, or
         such other federal banking or other applicable laws, even if the issuer
         would agree to do so. Subject to the  foregoing,  the Agent agrees that
         any  sale of the  Stock  shall  be made  in a  commercially  reasonable
         manner,  and each of the  Companies  agrees to use its best  efforts to
         cause the issuer or issuers of the Stock  contemplated  to be sold,  to
         execute  and  deliver,  and cause the  directors  and  officers of such
         issuer to execute and deliver,  all at the Companies' expense, all such
         instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other
         acts and things as may be necessary  or, in the  reasonable  opinion of
         the Agent,  advisable to exempt such Stock from registration  under the
         provisions of the  Securities  Act, and to make all  amendments to such
         instruments  and  documents  which,  in the  opinion of the Agent,  are
         necessary or advisable,  all in conformity with the requirements of the
         Securities  Act and the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
         Exchange Commission  applicable thereto.  Each of the Companies further
         agrees to use its best  efforts  to cause  such  issuer or  issuers  to
         comply with the  provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any
         jurisdiction which the Agent shall designate and, if required, to cause
         such issuer or issuers to make  available to its security  holders,  as
         soon as practicable,  an earnings statement (which need not be audited)
         which will satisfy the  provisions of Section  11(a) of the  Securities
         Act.







                  7.5. Companies' Agreements, etc. Each of the Companies further
         agrees to do or cause to be done all such  other acts and things as may
         be reasonably  necessary to make any sales of any portion or all of the
         Stock  pursuant to this ss.7 valid and binding and in  compliance  with
         any  and  all  applicable  laws  (including,  without  limitation,  the
         Securities  Act, the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  the
         rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
         applicable  thereto and all applicable  state  securities or "Blue Sky"
         laws), regulations,  orders, writs,  injunctions,  decrees or awards of
         any and all  courts,  arbitrators  or  governmental  instrumentalities,
         domestic or foreign,  having  jurisdiction over any such sale or sales,
         all at the  Companies'  expense.  Each of the Companies  further agrees
         that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this ss.7 will cause
         irreparable  injury to the Agent and the Banks,  that the Agent and the
         Banks have no adequate  remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
         a consequence,  agrees that each and every  covenant  contained in this
         ss.7 shall be  specifically  enforceable  against the  Companies by the
         Agent and each of the Companies  hereby waives and agrees not to assert
         any  defenses  against  an  action  for  specific  performance  of such
         covenants.

         8.  Marshalling.  Neither  the Agent nor any Bank shall be  required to
marshal any present or future collateral security for (including but not limited
to this Agreement and the Stock Collateral),  or other assurances of payment of,
the  Obligations  or any of them,  or to resort to such  collateral  security or
other  assurances of payment in any particular  order. All of the Agent's rights
hereunder and of the Banks and the Agent in respect of such collateral  security
and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each of
the  Companies  hereby  agrees  that it will not invoke any law  relating to the
marshalling of collateral that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of
the Agent's rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing
any of the  Obligations or under which any of the  Obligations is outstanding or
by which any of the  Obligations  is  secured or  payment  thereof is  otherwise
assured,  and to the extent that it lawfully  may each of the  Companies  hereby
irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

         9. Company's  Obligations Not Affected.  The obligations of each of the
Companies hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and
shall not be impaired by (a) any exercise or nonexercise,  or any waiver, by the
Agent or any Bank of any right,  remedy,  power or privilege under or in respect
of any of the Obligations or any security  thereof  (including this  Agreement);
(b) any amendment to or  modification  of the Credit  Agreement,  the other Loan
Documents or any of the Obligations; (c) any amendment to or modification of any
instrument  (other  than  this  Agreement)  securing  any  of  the  Obligations,
including,  without limitation, any of the Security Documents; or (d) the taking
of additional  security  for, or any other  assurances of payment of, any of the
Obligations  or the release or discharge or termination of any security or other
assurances of payment or performance for any of the Obligations;  whether or not
the Companies shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

         10. Transfer, etc., by Companies.  Without the prior written consent of
the Agent, the Companies will not sell,  assign,  transfer or otherwise  dispose
of, grant any option with  respect to, or pledge or grant any security  interest
in or otherwise encumber or restrict any of the Stock Collateral or any interest
therein,  except for the pledge thereof and security  interest  therein provided
for in this Agreement.









         11.  Further  Assurances.  Each of the Companies will do all such acts,
and will furnish to the Agent all such financing statements, certificates, legal
opinions and other documents and will obtain all such governmental  consents and
corporate approvals and will do or cause to be done all such other things as the
Agent may  reasonably  request from time to time in order to give full effect to
this  Agreement  and to secure the rights of the Banks and the Agent  hereunder,
all  without  any cost or  expense  to the  Agent or any  Bank.  If the Agent so
elects,  a photocopy of this  Agreement may at any time and from time to time be
filed by the  Agent as a  financing  statement  in any  recording  office in any
jurisdiction.

         12.  Agent's  Exoneration.  Under no  circumstances  shall the Agent be
deemed to assume any  responsibility  for or  obligation or duty with respect to
any part or all of the Stock  Collateral  of any nature or kind or any matter or
proceedings  arising  out of or  relating  thereto,  other than (a) to  exercise
reasonable care in the physical  custody of the Stock  Collateral and (ii) after
an  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and  be  continuing  to  act in a
commercially reasonable manner. Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be required
to take any  action  of any kind to  collect,  preserve  or  protect  its or the
Companies' rights in the Stock Collateral or against other parties thereto.  The
Agent's  prior  recourse  to any part or all of the Stock  Collateral  shall not
constitute  a  condition  of any  demand,  suit or  proceeding  for  payment  or
collection of any of the Obligations.

         13. No Waiver,  etc.  Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be
changed,  waived,  discharged  or  terminated  except  by a  written  instrument
expressly  referring  to this  Agreement  and to the  provisions  so modified or
limited,  and executed by the Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, and
each of the Companies.  No act, failure or delay by the Agent shall constitute a
waiver of its rights and remedies  hereunder or otherwise.  No single or partial
waiver by the Agent of any  default  or right or remedy  that it may have  shall
operate  as a  waiver  of any  other  default,  right or  remedy  or of the same
default,  right or remedy on a future  occasion.  Each of the  Companies  hereby
waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments,  included
in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Stock Collateral, and any and all
other notices and demands  whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein or in
the Credit Agreement).

         14.  Notice,  etc.  All  notices,  requests  and  other  communications
hereunder  shall  be made  in the  manner  set  forth  in  ss.21  of the  Credit
Agreement.

         15.  Termination.  Upon final  payment and  performance  in full of the
Obligations,  this  Agreement  shall  terminate  and  the  Agent  shall,  at the
Companies'  request and expense,  return such Stock Collateral in the possession
or control of the Agent as has not theretofore been disposed of pursuant to the







provisions hereof,  together with any moneys and other property at the time held
by the Agent hereunder.

         16.  Overdue  Amounts.  Until paid,  all amounts due and payable by the
Companies  hereunder  shall be a debt secured by the Stock  Collateral and shall
bear,  whether  before or after  judgment,  interest at the rate of interest for
overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement.

         17. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED
TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE  WITH, THE LAWS OF THE  COMMONWEALTH  OF  MASSACHUSETTS.  Each of the
Companies Company agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement may
be brought in the courts of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  or any federal
court sitting  therein and consents to the  non-exclusive  jurisdiction  of such
court and to service  of process in any such suit being made upon the  Companies

Companies  hereby waives any objection  that it may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any such  suit or any such  court or that such  suit is  brought  in an
inconvenient court.

         18. Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE COMPANIES  WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A
JURY TRIAL WITH  RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM  ARISING  OUT OF ANY  DISPUTE IN
CONNECTION  WITH THIS  AGREEMENT,  ANY RIGHTS OR  OBLIGATIONS  HEREUNDER  OR THE
PERFORMANCE OF ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, each
of the  Companies  waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any
litigation  referred  to in  the  preceding  sentence  any  special,  exemplary,
punitive or consequential  damages or any damages other than, or in addition to,
actual  damages.  Each of the Companies (a) certifies  that neither the Agent or
any Bank nor any representative,  agent or attorney of the Agent or any Bank has
represented,  expressly or  otherwise,  that the Agent or any Bank would not, in
the  event  of  litigation,  seek  to  enforce  the  foregoing  waivers  and (b)
acknowledges  that,  in entering  into the Credit  Agreement  and the other Loan
Documents  to which  the Agent is a party,  the Agent and the Banks are  relying
upon,  among other  things,  the waivers and  certifications  contained  in this
ss.18.

         19.  Miscellaneous.  The headings of each section of this Agreement are
for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof.  This
Agreement  and all rights and  obligations  hereunder  shall be binding upon the
Companies and their  respective  successors and assigns,  and shall inure to the
benefit of the Agent and the Banks and their respective  successors and assigns.
If any  term  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  held  to be  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable,  the  validity  of all  other  terms  hereof  shall  be in no way
affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if
such invalid,  illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein.  Each
of the Companies acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement.
