upon the liquidation or dissolution of the issuer thereof or otherwise, shall,
except to the limited extent provided in Section 6 hereof, be paid over and
delivered to the Pledgee to be held by the Pledgee, for the benefit of the Banks
and the Administrative Agent, as security for the payment and performance in
full of all of the Obligations. In case, pursuant to the recapitalization or
reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or pursuant to the
reorganization thereof, any distribution of capital shall be made on or in
respect of any of the Pledged Stock or any property shall be distributed upon or
with respect to any of the Pledged Stock, the property so distributed shall be

of the Obligations.

pursuant to this Section 3 shall be deposited into an interest bearing account
with the Pledgee (the "Cash Collateral Account"). Some or all of the funds from
time to time in the Cash Collateral Account may be invested in time deposits,
including, without limitation, certificates of deposit issued by the Pledgee
(such certificates of deposit or other time deposits being hereinafter referred
to, collectively, as "Time Deposits"), that are satisfactory to the Pledgee
after consultation with the Pledgor, PROVIDED, that, in each such case,

writings evidencing any Time Deposits.

represents and warrants to the Pledgee as follows:
4.1 The Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Pledge Agreement and to
pledge and grant a security interest in all of the Stock Collateral pursuant to
this Pledge Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance thereof and
the pledge of and granting of a security
-4-
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 the Pledgor's charter documents or by-laws or of
any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal or of any agreement or instrument
to which the Pledgor is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound
or affected or constitute a default thereunder;
4.2 The Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of all
of the Pledged Stock;
4.3 EXHIBIT A attached hereto accurately sets forth as to each
Domestic Subsidiary and each Foreign Subsidiary in which Pledged Stock is
pledged hereunder (i) the total number of shares of each class of stock of such
Domestic Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary issued and outstanding and (ii) the
total number of shares of each such class of stock that have been pledged
hereunder. With respect to each Foreign Subsidiary whose capital stock is
pledged hereunder, the Pledgor has pledged stock representing 65% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of such Foreign Subsidiary
entitled to vote;
4.4 All of the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and
validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and are owned by the Pledgor
free of any pledge, mortgage, hypothecation, lien, charge, encumbrance or
security interest in such shares or the proceeds thereof, except for that
granted hereunder or permitted under the Loan Agreement; and
4.5 Upon delivery of the Pledged Stock and related
certificates to the Pledgee or its agent, this Pledge Agreement shall create a
valid first lien upon and perfected security interest in the Pledged Stock and
the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior security interest, lien, charge or
encumbrance, or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a
security interest in the property or assets of the Pledgor which would include
the Pledged Stock.
5. COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGOR. The Pledgor covenants that it will defend
the rights of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and the security interest
of the Pledgee, for the benefit of the Banks and the Administrative Agent, in
the Stock set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto against the claims and demands of all
other persons whomsoever. The Pledgor 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
Pledgee hereunder and will likewise defend the rights, pledge and security
interest thereof and therein of the Banks and the Administrative Agent.
6. DIVIDENDS; VOTING. Unless a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends paid in
respect of the Pledged Stock, to vote and exercise any and all other voting and
consensual rights with respect to any and all shares of the Pledged Stock and to
give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof, PROVIDED that no
vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken
which, in the reasonable judgment of the Majority
-5-
Banks, would violate or be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Pledge
Agreement or the other Agreements or would have the effect of impairing the
position or interests of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall execute and deliver to
the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as may be necessary to
exercise such rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default, (i) all such rights of the Pledgor to receive cash dividends shall
cease and (ii) the Pledgee shall have the right to vote, and to give consents,
waivers and ratifications with respect to, the Pledged Stock, PROVIDED that if
the Pledgee elects not to exercise such rights at any time, the Pledgor may
continue to exercise such rights, PROVIDED that the Pledgor shall not take any
vote or other action with respect to such Pledged Stock that would have an
adverse effect on the Pledgee, and if so directed in writing, shall vote or take
any such action as directed by the Pledgee.
7. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.
7.1 In case a Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights, powers and remedies
(whether vested in it by this Pledge Agreement, the other Agreements or by law)
for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Stock
Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise
the following rights and remedies (in addition to the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts or any other
applicable jurisdiction), which the Pledgor hereby agrees shall be commercially
reasonable, all such rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and
enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently, at such time or times
as the Pledgee deems expedient:
(a) to vote all or any part of the Pledged Stock (whether or
not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and
ratifications in respect of the Stock Collateral and otherwise act with respect
thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (the Pledgor hereby
irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee, its employees, agents,
successors and assigns the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor, with full
power of substitution to do so);
(b) to demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or
settlement the Pledgee deems suitable in respect of any Stock Collateral;
(c) at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and
deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Stock 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, except as provided below or as required by
law, or to redeem or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived by the 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 discretion may determine in accordance with Section
9-504 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, provided that at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of the
time and place of any such sale shall
-6-
be given to the Pledgor (which such notice the Pledgor hereby acknowledges and
agrees is commercially reasonable);
(d) to cause all or any part of the Stock held by the Pledgee
to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees; and
(e) to set off against the Obligations any and all sums
deposited with the Pledgee 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 Pledgee.
7.2 In the event of any disposition of the Stock Collateral as
provided in Section 7.1(c), the Pledgee shall give to the Pledgor at least ten
(10) 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 intended to be made. The Pledgor hereby acknowledges
that ten (10) days' prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be
reasonable notice. The Pledgee may enforce its rights hereunder without any
other notice and without compliance with any other condition precedent now or
hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise (all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Pledgor, to the fullest extent permitted by law). If any
of the Stock Collateral is sold by the Pledgee upon credit or for future
delivery, the Pledgee shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to
pay for the same and in such event the Pledgee may resell such Stock Collateral.
The Pledgee 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 Pledgee may buy at a private sale and may make
payment therefor by any means including, without limitation, cancellation of
indebtedness secured thereby and payment of any surplus to the Borrower or such
other party as may be required by the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code
of Massachusetts or any other applicable jurisdiction. The Pledgee 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
reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent in attempting to collect the
obligations or to enforce this Pledge Agreement or in the prosecution or defense
of any action or proceeding related to the subject matter of this Pledge
Agreement, and then to the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Loan
Agreement. To the extent that any of the Obligations are to be paid or performed
by a person other than the Pledgor, the Pledgor, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may
have under the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts or of any other
applicable jurisdiction.
7.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
7.4 The Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to
effect a public sale of the Stock by reason of certain prohibitions contained in
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), federal banking
laws or other applicable laws, regulations, or agreements to which such Stock
may be subject, but may be
-7-
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group
of purchasers. The Pledgor 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 be deemed to have been made in a "commercially
reasonable" manner within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, PROVIDED that the notice specified in Section 7.1
shall have been given to the Pledgor. The Pledgee 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 applicable laws, even if
the issuer would agree to do so. Subject to the foregoing, the Pledgee agrees
that any sale of the Stock shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner to
Persons for whom, and in a manner in which, exemptions provided by the
Securities Act would be available, and the Pledgor 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 Pledgor's 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 Pledgee, 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 Pledgee, 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. The Pledgor 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 Pledgee 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 The Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all
such other acts and things, other than the filing of a Registration Statement
under the provisions of the Securities Act or otherwise registering the Stock to
be sold to the general public, as may be reasonably necessary to make any sales
of any portion or all of the Stock pursuant to this Section 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 Pledgor's expense. The Pledgor further agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7 will cause
irreparable injury to the Pledgee and the Banks, that the Pledgee 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 Section 7 shall be
specifically enforceable against the Pledgor by the Pledgee and the Pledgor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants.
-8-
7.6 At any sale of Stock Collateral, unless prohibited by
applicable law, the Pledgee or any holder of the Obligations may bid for and
purchase all or any part of the Stock Collateral so sold free from any such
right or equity of redemption.
8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy of the Pledgee or
any holder of the Obligations provided for in this Pledge Agreement, the other
Agreements or in any of the other documents, instruments or agreements securing
the Obligations 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 holder of the Obligations of any one or more of the rights, powers or
remedies provided for in this Pledge Agreement, the other Agreements or in any
such other document, instrument or agreement 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 holder of the Obligations of all such other
rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee
or any holder of the Obligations to exercise any such right, power or remedy
shall operate as a waiver thereof.
9. MARSHALLING. Neither the Pledgee nor any Bank shall be required to
marshal any present or future collateral security for (including but not limited
to this Pledge 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
Pledgee's rights hereunder and of the Banks and the Administrative 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, the Pledgor 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 Pledgee's rights under this Pledge 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 the Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such
laws.
10. APPLICATION OF MONEYS BY THE PLEDGEE. All moneys collected upon any
sale of the Stock Collateral hereunder, together with all other moneys received
by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied as follows (i) First, to the payment
of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Pledgee in connection with
such sale, the delivery of the Stock Collateral or the collection of any such
moneys (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and all other
expenses reasonably incurred); (ii) Second, to satisfy the Obligations in such
manner as the Pledgee shall determine in its sole discretion; and (iii) Third,
to the Pledgor, or to such other Person(s) as may be required by applicable law,
to the extent of any surplus proceeds.
11. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGOR. Except as may be permitted by the Loan
Agreement, the Pledgor will not sell or otherwise dispose of, grant any option
with respect to, or mortgage, pledge (except pursuant to this Pledge Agreement)
or otherwise
-9-
encumber any of the Stock Collateral, any shares in the capital stock of any
Subsidiary, or any interest therein. Except as may be permitted by the Loan
Agreement, the Pledgor will not consent to or approve the issuance of (i) any
additional shares of any class of capital stock of any Subsidiary; (ii) any
securities convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon
the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable
for, any such shares; or (iii) any warrants, options, rights, or other
commitments entitling any person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such
shares.
12. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
13. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Pledgor at its expense will execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the
Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request in order to further effectuate
the purposes of this Pledge Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof. If the
Pledgee so elects, a photocopy of this Agreement may at any time and from time
to time be filed by the Pledgee as a financing statement in any recording office
in any jurisdiction.
14. THE PLEDGEE'S EXONERATION. Under no circumstances shall the Pledgee
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 (i) to exercise
reasonable care in the safe custody of the Stock Collateral and (ii) after a
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to act in a commercially
reasonable manner. The Pledgee shall not be required to take any action of any
kind to collect, preserve or protect its or the Pledgor's rights in the Stock
Collateral or against other parties thereto. The Pledgee'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 the Obligations.
15. NO WAIVER, ETC. The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to
the Stock Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources
of reimbursement. The Pledgee shall not be deemed to have waived any of its
rights upon or under the Obligations or the Stock Collateral unless such waiver
be in writing and signed by the Pledgee. No delay or omission on the part of the
Pledgee in exercising any right under this Pledge Agreement shall operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not
be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All
rights and remedies of the Pledgee on the Obligations or the Stock Collateral,
whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently.
16. TERMINATION. When all Obligations have been paid, performed and
indefeasibly discharged in full, and if at such time the Banks are not committed
to extend any credit to the Pledgor under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate and the Pledgee shall, upon
request and at the Pledgor's expense, execute all such documentation necessary
to release its security interest hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, upon
such termination, the Pledgee, at the request and expense of the Pledgor, will
duly assign, transfer and deliver to the
-10-
Pledgor, or its successors or assigns, as the case may be, such of the Stock
Collateral (including stock powers and stock certificates) in the possession or
control of the Pledgee as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or
released pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, together with any moneys and other
property at the time held by the Pledgee hereunder.
17. OVERDUE AMOUNTS. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the
Pledgor 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 Loan Agreement.
18. MISCELLANEOUS.
18.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Pledge Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns whether or not an express assignment of rights

Agreement without the consent of the Pledgee. No other person shall acquire or
have any right under or by virtue of this Pledge Agreement.

covenants and agreements contained in this Pledge Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Agreements and shall continue until payment in

waivers and (ii) acknowledges that, in entering into the Loan Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to which the Pledgee is a party, the Pledgee and the Banks
are relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained
