          permitted under the Credit Agreement that imposes restrictions upon
          the sale of, or foreclosure of liens upon, any Securities of a Look-

          by the Pledgee of its remedies hereunder;".

          2.   Section 15(a)(v) of the Pledge Agreement is hereby amended to
delete the following phrase appearing at the end thereof:

          "except as contemplated in this Agreement;"

and to insert the following phrase in lieu thereof:

          "except (x) as contemplated in this Agreement and (y) for violations
          and defaults that may arise under contracts of the Borrower or a
          Subsidiary thereof otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement as a
          result of the sale of, or foreclosure of a lien upon, the Securities
          of Look-Through Subsidiaries pledged hereunder to the extent that the
          prior consent of other parties to such contracts have not been
          obtained or other actions specified in such contracts have not been
          taken in connection with any such sale or foreclosure;".

          3.   This Amendment shall become effective on the later of (x) the
date when the Pledgee and each of the Pledgors shall have signed a counterpart

certain Second Amendment and Waiver of Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of
even date herewith.

          4.   This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a
modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Pledge
Agreement.

          5.   This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of
counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          6.   THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

                                       2


          7.   From and after the date that this Amendment becomes effective,
