on which Collateral is released or (3) Business Day immediately preceding the
day on which Collateral is added, as the case may be, (each such day, a
"Valuation Day"); and
 -------------

              (ii)  prepare a valuation report stating the Market Value of the
Eligible Collateral and any cash held in the Restricted Custodial Account as of
the close of business on each such Valuation Day ("Valuation Report").

          (b) On or prior to the fifth Business Day after each Valuation Day
referred to in subsection 3.04(a)(i)(1), the Pledgor shall cause the Custodian
to deliver by facsimile transmission to the Agent and the Pledgor the Valuation
Report, 

                                       8

 
and, for any other Valuation Day, upon request of the Agent, the Pledger
shall cause the Custodian to deliver by facsimile transmission to the Agent the
related Valuation Report.

         (c) The Agent may conclusively rely on each Valuation Report. The
Agent shall deliver to each Bank as soon as available, but on or before the
tenth day of each calendar quarter, and to the Pledgor along with each statement
of fees and interest due under the Credit Agreement, a quarterly statement
("Valuation Summary") showing the lowest Market Value of the Eligible Collateral
on a Valuation Day during such quarter or, in the case of a quarter in which the
Closing Date occurs or the Commitments have been terminated, showing the lowest
Market Value of the Eligible Collateral on a Valuation Day during such calendar
quarter during which the Commitments were in effect ("Lowest Quarterly Market
                                                      -----------------------

determined by the Agent shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties in
the absence of manifest error.

                ---------------------

no Loans or Bankers' Acceptances are outstanding, upon written notice to the
Custodian and the Agent, request that the Custodian release Collateral as
designated by the Pledgor from the Restricted Custodial Account ("Designated
                                                                  ----------

provided that there shall not have occurred and be continuing a Default or an
Event of Default on the date that the Pledgor requests a release of Designated
Collateral, or on the date that all or any portion of the Designated Collateral
is released; and

          (b) Provided that the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied,
the Pledgor shall be entitled to a release of the Designated Collateral.  At any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default (or if a Default or Event of Default would occur on the date that the
Designated Collateral is to be released) the Agent may provide written notice to
the Custodian suspending the Pledgor's right to release Collateral from the
Restricted Custodial Account; provided that, if the Agent has so notified the
Custodian and such Default or Event of Default shall no longer be continuing,
then, upon request of the Pledgor, the Agent shall provide written notice to the
Custodian rescinding such suspension.

          3.06  Additions of Collateral.  The Pledgor may at any time and from
                -----------------------                                       
time to time pledge additional Collateral pursuant hereto by depositing cash or
other Collateral in the Restricted Custodial Account and in the event Pledgor
deposits any additional Collateral, Pledgor shall notify the Agent in writing
(which notice shall describe the additional Collateral in detail) and cause the
Custodian to prepare and deliver a Valuation Report 

                                       9

Agreement and the Custodial Agreement creates a valid and perfected first
priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the
Secured Obligations.

          (d) Unless otherwise notified by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 5.04,
Pledgor's chief executive office and principal place of business, and all books
and records concerning the Collateral are located at One Post Street, San

Agreement and any other Loan Document to which it is a party; (iii) is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation and is licensed and in good standing under

referred to in clause (iii) or clause (iv), to the extent that the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (g)  The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not and will not:  (i)

conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of
any Lien under, any document evidencing any Contractual Obligation to which the

Requirement of Law.

          (h)  The Pledgor is, as of the date of this Agreement, and will be, at
all times that Collateral is on deposit in the Restricted Custodial Account,

herewith shall be delivered to the Agent or the Custodian on or prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other documents, certificates,
instruments and writings, if any, hereafter evidencing Collateral or
constituting Collateral shall be delivered to the Agent or the Custodian
promptly upon the pledge thereof by the Pledgor. All such documents,
certificates, instruments and writings, if any, shall be held by Custodian on

constituting or evidencing Collateral to at any time be in the actual or
constructive possession or control of any Person other than the Agent or a
bailee selected by the Agent (including Custodian) who is holding such
Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

          5.02  Further Assurances.  The Pledgor agrees that from time to time,
                ------------------                                             
at the expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce 

                                       11

 
its rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Collateral Documents with
respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Pledgor will: (i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary
or desirable, or as the Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and
preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby and
(ii) at the Agent's reasonable request, appear in and defend any action or
proceeding that may adversely affect the Pledgor's title to or the Agent's
security interest in all or any part of the Collateral constituting cash or
Eligible Investments; provided that Pledgor shall not be obligated to make such
appearance or defense relating to actions or proceedings challenging security
interests junior to the security interest of the Agent or to the extent the
Pledgor shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the Pledgor does
not intend for such Collateral to constitute Qualifying Collateral (as defined
in the Credit Agreement).

          5.03  Transfers and other Liens.  Subject to Sections 3.03(d) and
                -------------------------                                  
3.05, the Pledgor agrees that it will not (a) sell, assign (by operation of law
or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or (b) create or
suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, or file
or record any financing statement with respect to the Collateral or otherwise
identify the Collateral as being subject to a pledge or security interest,
except for the security interest under this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement.

          5.04  Chief Executive Office.  The Pledgor will (a) keep all books and
                ----------------------                                          
records pertaining to the Collateral at the location set forth in Article IV (or
such other location as to which Pledgor shall notify Agent pursuant to
subsection 5.04(b)(ii)) and (b) within 30 days after such change) give written
notice to the Agent of any changes in (i) the Pledgor's corporate name, any
tradenames or trade styles or any fictitious business names, or (ii) any such
location where books and records pertaining to the Collateral are kept, or the
location of the Pledgor's chief executive office and principal place of
business.

                -------------------------------

Custodial Agreement Acknowledgement, including Sections 3.03 and 3.05, the
Pledgor will not cast any vote, give or grant any consent, waiver or
ratification or take any action with respect to the Collateral which would have
the effect of impairing the position or interest of the Agent or the Banks in
respect of the Collateral or would be inconsistent with or

violate any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

                ----------------------------------------                        
adequate records concerning the Collateral and will permit the Agent, any Bank
and their respective representatives to inspect the Pledgor's books and records
concerning the Collateral on the same terms and conditions as set forth in
Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement. The Pledgor will furnish to the Agent any
information which the Agent may from time to time request at the request of any
Bank concerning any covenant, provision or representation contained herein or
any other matter in connection with the Collateral.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                      REMEDIES, POWERS AND AUTHORIZATIONS
                      -----------------------------------

          6.01.  Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  The Pledgor hereby
                 --------------------------------                     
irrevocably appoints the Agent (and any of the Agent's officers, employees or
agents designated by the Agent) as the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor,
the Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent's discretion upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default during any period
when Collateral shall have been pledged to Agent hereunder to take any action
and to execute any instrument that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, including
(a) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of
the Pledgor and (b) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive
and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Collateral, (c) to receive, endorse and collect any
instruments or other Investments made payable to the Pledgor representing any
dividend, principal or interest payment or other distribution in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same and (d)
to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings the Agent may
deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or
otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the
Collateral.

          6.02.  Agent May Perform.  If the Pledgor fails to perform any
                 -----------------                                      
agreement contained herein, the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to)
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor in
accordance with Section 7.02.

          6.03.  Standard of Care.  The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder
                 ----------------                                              
are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty upon it to exercise any 

                                       13

 
such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, shall have no duty as
to any Collateral, it being understood that the Agent shall have no
responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any
Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, (b) taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance
with the standard of care set forth above to maintain possession of the
Collateral) to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
Collateral, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect or realize upon the
Secured Obligations or any guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or any of
the Collateral, (d) initiating any action to protect the Collateral against the
possibility of a decline in market value, (e) any loss resulting from
Investments made, held or sold pursuant to Article III, except for a loss
resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct in complying
with Article III, or (f) determining (i) the correctness of any statement or
calculation made by the Pledgor in any written or telex (tested or otherwise)
instructions or (ii) whether any deposit in the Collateral Accounts is proper.
The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property
of like kind. In addition to the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, the Agent shall not be responsible for any actions or omissions of the
Custodian.

          6.04.  Remedies.
                 -------- 

          (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Agent may (i) sell any of the Collateral, (ii) transfer any or all of the
Collateral constituting cash to an account designated by the Agent or transfer
any or all of the Collateral to an account established in the Agent's name
(whether at the Agent or the Custodian or otherwise), or (iii) register title to
any Collateral in the name of the Agent or one of its nominees or agents,
without reference to any interest of the Pledgor.

          (b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights
and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the "Code") (whether or not the Code
                                             ----                           
applies to the affected Collateral), under 31 CFR (S)(S) 306.115 through 306.122
(herein called the "Applicable CFR Sections"), and the Agent may also in its
sole discretion sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels
at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of the
Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or 

                                       14

 
for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon
such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of
the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. Each
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any
claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or
appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The
Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Agent arising by reason of the fact
that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale
was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if
(in the case of U.S. Government Securities) the Agent accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

          (c) The Pledgor hereby agrees that the Collateral is of a type
customarily sold on recognized markets and, accordingly, that no notice to any
Person is required prior to any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; provided that, without prejudice to the foregoing, the
Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of any such sale shall be required by
law, at least five days' notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification.

          (d) If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Pledgor shall be
liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Agent to
collect such deficiency.

          6.05.  Application of Proceeds.  If any Event of Default shall have
                 -----------------------                                     
occurred and be continuing, all cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all
proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion
of the Agent, be held by the Agent as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any
other time thereafter, applied in full or in part by the Agent against, the
Secured Obligations in the following order of priority:

          FIRST:  To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale,
     collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the
     Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and
     advances made or incurred by the Agent in connection therewith, and 

                                       15

 
     all amounts for which the Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder
     and all advances made by the Agent hereunder for the account of the
     Pledgor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by
     the Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder,
     all in accordance with Section 7.02;

          SECOND:  To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the
     ratable benefit of the holders thereof) in such order as the Agent shall
     elect; and

          THIRD:  To the payment to or upon the order of the Pledgor, or to
     whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
     competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such
     proceeds.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                          INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES
                          ----------------------------

          7.01 Indemnification.  The Pledgor agrees to indemnify the Agent and
               ---------------                                                
each Bank from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Agent or a Bank as a result of any claim or threatened
claim by a Person not a party to this Agreement or by the Pledgor or the Company
(except for claims by the Pledgor or the Company against the Agent or a Bank
that are successful on the merits as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction) in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including enforcement of
this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result
from the Agent's or such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          7.02  Expenses.  The Pledgor shall pay to the Agent upon demand the
                --------                                                     
amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Agent may incur
in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any of the Collateral, (c) the exercise or enforcement of any
of the rights of the Agent hereunder, (d) the failure by the Pledgor to perform
or observe any of the provisions hereof.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

         CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS
         -------------------------------------------------------------

          This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and 

                                       16

 
effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the
cancellation or termination of the Commitments, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor,
its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies
of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Agent and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(c), but subject to the provisions of Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement, any
Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any Secured Obligations held by it to any
other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to the Banks herein or otherwise. Upon the
indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor. Upon any
such termination the Agent will, at the Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver
to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination (including the notice described in Article VIII of the
Custodial Agreement Acknowledgment) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to the
return, upon its request and at its expense, against receipt and without
recourse to the Agent, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, it is agreed and understood that under the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor is not required to
pledge any Collateral to Agent; provided that if the Pledgor pledges Collateral
to Agent the Pledgor and the Collateral shall be subject to this Agreement. This
Article VIII shall not limit the rights of the Pledgor under Section 3.03(d) or
Section 3.06.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 AGENT AS AGENT
                                 --------------

          9.01 The Agent has been appointed to act as the Agent hereunder by the
Banks. The Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make
demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and
to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution
of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit
Agreement.

          9.02 The Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is the Agent
under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by the Agent pursuant
to Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of
resignation as the Agent under this Agreement; removal of the Agent pursuant to
Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as the Agent
under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to Section
9.09 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor
Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent

                                       17

 
under Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Agent, that successor
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent under this Agreement, and
the retiring or removed Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer
to such successor Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate
in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Agent under
this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Agent such
amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor
Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or
removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring or removed Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was the Agent hereunder.

          9.03 In connection with the release of any Collateral under this
Agreement, the Custodial Agreement Acknowledgement or the Custodial Agreement,
the Agent may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and continues unless it has received written notice from the Pledgor or
any Bank to the contrary.  The Agent may conclusively rely on each Valuation
Report and the Market Value of the Collateral contained therein, and shall have
no duty or obligation to verify the contents of any Valuation Report (including
the Market Values contained therein) or to independently determine the Market
Value of any Collateral.

of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Agent.
