executed by a Responsible Officer describing such Pledged Securities and

provisos to Section 3.2(ii), the Pledgor shall not be required to either

at any time received by it under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and
agreed that the obligations of the Pledgee as holder of the Pledge Collateral
and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise
under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth

                                       11

 
in this Agreement and in the Appointment Agreement, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Pledgee.

          (b)  In case of any litigation under this Agreement, or in case of any
enforcement of remedies or exercise of rights upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or in case the Pledgee deems that, by reason of any present or future
law of any jurisdiction, it may not or may not effectively exercise any of the
powers, rights or remedies herein granted to it or hold title to the properties,
in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or
necessary in connection therewith, the Pledgee shall be entitled to appoint, to
the extent consistent with applicable law, one or more separate or additional

a separate or additional co-agent: (i) any appointment of any such co-agent by
the Pledgee shall be made only with the prior written consent of the Pledgor and
the Required Holder(s) (except that, if the Pledgee shall have received written
notice from any Holder of Secured Obligations that a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, such consent shall be required only of
the Required Holder(s)), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; and (ii) each and every remedy, power, right, title, interest, trust,
duty and obligation expressed or intended by this Agreement to be exercised by
or vested in, conveyed to or imposed upon, the Pledgee with respect thereto
shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or additional co-agent but
only to the extent necessary, appropriate or desirable to enable such separate
or additional co-agent to exercise or have vested in it such powers, rights,
trusts, titles, interests, duties and obligations and remedies, and every
covenant and obligation necessary, appropriate or desirable to the exercise
thereof by such separate or additional co-agent shall run to and be enforceable
by either or any of them.

     The Pledgee shall have the right to terminate the appointment of any such
co-agent hereunder with the prior written consent of the Pledgor and the
Required Holder(s) (except that, if the Pledgee shall have received written
notice from any Holder that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such consent shall be required only of the Required Holder(s)),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Should any
instrument in writing from the Pledgor be required by the separate or additional
co-agent so appointed by the Pledgee to more fully and certainly vest in and
confirm to it such remedies, rights, powers, titles, interests, trusts, duties
and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Pledgor.  In case any separate or
additional co-agent, or a successor to either, shall become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all the remedies, rights, powers, titles, interests,
trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or additional co-agent; so far
as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Pledgee until the

beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Securities
described as owned by it on Annex A hereto in existence on the date hereof,
subject to no Lien (except the Lien created by this Agreement); (ii) it has full
power, authority and legal right to pledge all such Securities pursuant to this
Agreement; (iii) all the shares of such Securities have been duly and validly

in favor of any other Person; (v) other than registrations and filings described

to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the
Pledgee as Pledge Collateral hereunder.

          SECTION 14.  PLEDGOR'S OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.  The obligations of the
                       ------------------------------
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, the Note Agreement, any Note 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 the Note Agreement, any Note or any other such instrument or
agreement or any exercise or nonexercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege under or in respect of the Note Agreement, any Note or any other such
instrument or agreement; (iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the
Pledgee or any acceptance thereof or any sale, exchange, release, surrender or
realization of or upon any security by the Pledgee; or (iv) any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of all or part of the Secured Obligations or of
any security therefor or the termination or release of any security therefor.

          SECTION 15.  REGISTRATION. (a) If an Event of Default shall have
                       -------------
occurred and be continuing and the Pledgor shall have received from the Pledgee
a written request or requests that the Pledgor cause any registration,
qualification or compliance under any securities law or laws, or listing
requirements, to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged
Securities, the Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense will use

                                       13

 
its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept
effective) and will use its best efforts to cause such qualification and
compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as
would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Pledged Securities,
including without limitation, registration under any applicable securities laws
(including the Securities Act) and appropriate compliance with any other
governmental and listing requirements, provided that the Pledgee shall furnish
to the Pledgor such information regarding the Pledgee as the Pledgor may request
in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance.  The Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept
reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration,
qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to
the Pledgee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents
incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request, and
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee and all others participating
in such registration, qualification or compliance (or the distribution of such
Pledged Securities) against all losses, liabilities, claims or damages caused by
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained
therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or
by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related
registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or
omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Pledgor by the
Pledgee expressly for use therein.

          (b)  If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to exercise its
right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Securities pursuant to Section 7
such Pledged Securities or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason
whatsoever, be effectively registered under any applicable securities law or
laws (including the Securities Act), the Pledgee may sell such Pledged
Securities 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, provided that at least
10 days' notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the
Pledgor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event
the Pledgee: (i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities or
part thereof shall have been filed under such securities laws; (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 Pledged Securities or any part thereof.  In
the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or
liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price which
the Pledgee (acting in accordance with instructions from the Required Holder(s))
may in good faith deem 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.

          SECTION 16.  INDEMNITY. (a) The Pledgor covenants and agrees to pay to
                       ----------
the Pledgee from time to time, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to, reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it, and the Pledgor will pay or
reimburse the Pledgee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred

                                       14

 
or made by the Pledgee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Pledge Document (including the compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ).

          (b)  The Pledgor also covenants to indemnify the Pledgee (which, for
purposes of this Section 16, shall include in directors, officers, employees and
agents) for, and to hold it harmless from and against, any and all loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without gross negligence, wilful
misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Pledgee, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, the exercise of
any rights and remedies arising out of this Agreement or any other Pledge
Document, or the performance of any of its duties, including the reasonable
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability and in
enforcing any provision of this Agreement or any other Pledge Document (except
any liability incurred with gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith on
the part of the Pledgee), with interest thereon at a rate equal to that in the
Pledgee's customary banking practice with respect to overdrafts (including the
imposition of interest, fund, wage and administrative fees) from the date the
same shall have been paid until actually reimbursed.

          (c)  The obligations of the Pledgor under this Section 16 to
compensate and indemnify the Pledgee and to pay or reimburse the Pledgee for
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or other
termination of this Agreement and any other Pledge Document and the resignation
or removal of the Pledgee hereunder

          (d)  To secure payment of such compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification, the Pledgee shall have a claim and Lien prior to that of any
party, which claim and Lien shall constitute Secured Obligations secured by this
Agreement.


          SECTION 17.  TERMINATION: RELEASE, Upon:

expense of the Pledgor, will promptly execute and deliver to the Pledgor a
proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination
of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor,

Collateral as may be in the possession of the Pledgee and has not theretofore
been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement, together
with any moneys at the time held by the Pledgee hereunder,

For the purposes of assuring that the Pledgee and the Noteholders may enforce
their respective rights under this Agreement, the Pledgor for itself and its
successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably: (i) agrees that any legal or
equitable action, suit or proceeding against the, Pledgor arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Note Documents (including, without
limitation, the Agreement of Assignment as Collateral, dated as of the date
hereof, among the Pledgor, the Pledgee and the Purchasers), or any transaction
contemplated hereby or the subject matter of any of the foregoing may be
instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in the
State of New York; (ii) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have
to the venue of any action, suit or proceeding in the State of New York or any
claim of forum non conveniens in the State of New York; and (iii) irrevocably
         --------------------  
submits itself to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or Federal court
of competent jurisdiction in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York
for purposes of any such action, suit or proceeding. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Pledgor hereby appoints, in the case of any such action or
proceeding brought in the courts of or in the State of New York, CT Corporation
System, with offices on the date hereof at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York
10019, to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in the State of
New York with respect thereto, provided the Pledgor may appoint any other
person, reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the
Required Holder(s)), with offices in the State of New York to replace such agent
for service of process upon delivery to the Noteholders of a reasonably
acceptable agreement of such new agent agreeing so to act. The Pledgor agrees
that service of process by means of notice (as provided in Section 11.10 of the
Note Agreement) of any such action, suit or proceeding with respect to any
matter as to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in this Section
19.6 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon it.

          19.7   No Waiver: Remedies Cumulative.
                 ------------------------------

No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any Noteholder in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Pledge Document, as
the case may be, and no course of dealing between the' Pledgor and the Pledgee
or any Noteholder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Pledge Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  The rights,
powers and remedies herein or in any other Pledge Document expressly provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the
Pledgee or any Noteholder, as the case may be, would otherwise have.  No notice
to or demand on the Pledgor in any case shall entitle the Pledgor to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Pledgee or any Noteholder to any other or further
action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

          19.8   New Secured Lenders.
                 -------------------

The parties acknowledge that Section 8.1 of the Note Agreement contemplates that
the Noteholders may enter into an intercreditor agreement for the purpose of
sharing the Pledge Collateral with the other parties to such agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof.  It is understood that at the time of such
event, the Pledgor, the Pledgee and the Noteholders will investigate whether and
how this Agreement may be amended to accommodate and give effect to such an
intercreditor agreement.
