        all to be held as Pledged Collateral hereunder. The Company hereby
        acknowledges that the Lender may, in its discretion, appoint one or more
        financial institutions to act as the Lender's agent in holding in
        custodial accounts instruments or other financial assets, including
        securities, in which the Lender is granted a security interest
        hereunder, including, without limitation, certificates of deposit and
        other instruments evidencing short term obligations.

               (c) The inclusion of proceeds in this Agreement does not
        authorize the Company to sell, dispose of or otherwise use the Pledged
        Collateral in any manner not specifically authorized hereby or under the
        Indenture.

        covenants and conditions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)
        being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Obligations").

        Section 3. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and
warrants, as of the date hereof, to the Lender as follows:

               (a) The chief executive office and principal place of business of

        security interest created hereby, and for Permitted Liens, all of the
        Pledged Collateral is free from any material credit, deduction,
        allowance, defense, dispute, setoff or counterclaim, and there is no

        Collateral is not subject to any put, call, option or other right in
        favor of any other person whatsoever.

               (c) The Pledged Collateral is accurately described in Schedule
        2(a) hereto.

               (d) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
        Company and creates a valid security interest in, and lien on, the
        Pledged Collateral securing the payment of the Obligations. Upon the
        physical delivery of the certificates evidencing the Pledged Collateral
        to the Lender or its designated agent and the making of the filing of a
        financing statement in the Office of the Secretary of State of Texas and
        the taking of all other actions necessary to perfect the security
        interests created hereby, including, without limitation, those actions
        specified in Section 2(a) and Section 4, the security interests created
        by this Agreement will be duly perfected security interests subject to
        no equal or prior lien, security interest or encumbrance of any kind or
        nature other than Permitted Liens.

               (e) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority
        to pledge the Pledged Collateral in the manner hereby done or
        contemplated and to defend its title thereto against the lawful claims
        of all persons whomsoever.

               (f) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
        Company, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder,
        nor the transactions herein contemplated will (i) violate the Company's
        charter or bylaws, (ii) violate the terms of any agreement, indenture,
        mortgage, deed of trust, equipment lease, instrument or other document
        to which the Company is a party, (iii) violate any law, order, rule or
        regulation applicable to the Company of any court or any government,
        regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body
        having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties, or (iv) result
        in or require the creation or imposition of any lien (other than the
        lien contemplated hereby), upon or with respect to any of the property
        now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, which violation or
        conflict would have a material adverse effect on the financial
        condition, business, assets or liabilities of the Company or on the
        value of the Pledged Collateral or a material adverse effect on the
        security interests hereunder.

               (g) The Pledged Collateral includes all of the issued and
        outstanding shares of the TCR Holding Participating Preferred Stock
        owned by the Company on the date hereof, which shares are described in
        Schedule 2(a) attached hereto.

               (h) No consent or approval which has not been obtained on or
        prior to the date hereof of any other person or entity and no
        authorization, approval or other action (other than delivery of physical
        certificates evidencing the Pledged Collateral) by, and no notice to or
        filing with any governmental body (other than UCC filings), regulatory
        authority or securities exchange, was or is necessary as a condition to
        the validity of the pledge hereunder of the Pledged Collateral, and such
        pledge is effective to vest in the Lender the rights of the Lender in
        the Pledged Collateral as

        notice to or consent of the Lender.

               (b) The Company shall deliver to the Lender or its designated

        or and as the Lender may reasonably request, in order to create,
        evidence, preserve, perfect, validate or continue any lien or security
        interest created pursuant to this Agreement or to enable the Lender to
        exercise or enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such lien or
        security interest, or otherwise further to effect the purposes of this
        Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
        shall, at any time or from time to time upon the request of the Lender
        and at the Company's own expense, execute, acknowledge, witness,
        deliver, file and/or record such financing and continuation statements,

        of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
        Lender and its counsel) as the Lender may from time to time reasonably
        request for the perfection of the liens and security interests created
        hereby.

        Agreement and the Permitted Liens in the Pledged Collateral, the Company
        shall at its own expense defend the Pledged Collateral against any and
        all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances or
        interest, howsoever arising and shall maintain and preserve the security
        interest granted hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral as
        long as this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The
        Company shall not make any other pledge, assignment, mortgage,
        hypothecation or transfer of the Pledged Collateral except as permitted
        hereunder or under the TARC Intercompany Loan Agreement.

        Collateral, to the extent not delivered to the Lender pursuant to
        Section 2, will be kept at the location specified in Section 3(a) of
        this Agreement, and the Company will not remove the Pledged Collateral

        Collateral (other than information that is privileged and confidential);
        the Lender and its representatives may examine the same, make abstracts
        therefrom and make photocopies thereof; and the Company agrees to render
        to the Lender, at the Company's cost and expense, such clerical and
        other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Lender with
        regard thereto.

               (i) The Company shall not permit TCR Holding to issue to the
        Company any securities of the type required to be pledged hereunder
        unless such securities are promptly pledged and delivered hereunder to
        the Lender or its designated agent in accordance with Section 2(a).

               (j) If, while this Agreement is in effect, any stock dividend,
        stock split, reclassification, readjustment, reorganization, merger,
        consolidation, exchange offer, tender offer or other change in the
        capital structure, including the creation of any subscription or other
        rights relating to the Pledged Collateral, is declared or made, or
        proposed to be declared or made, by TCR Holding, all substituted and
        additional securities or interest issued with respect to the Pledged
        Collateral and evidenced by certificates shall be endorsed in blank by
        the Company promptly upon receipt thereof or otherwise appropriately
        transferred to the Lender in negotiable form, and all certificates or
        instruments evidencing such securities shall be delivered to the Lender
        to be held under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as, and
        as a part of, the Pledged Collateral. All Pledged Collateral shall be
        evidenced by one or more certificates. Any securities that may be issued
        upon exercise of any subscription or other rights relating to the
        Pledged Collateral shall be endorsed in blank and delivered to the
        Lender with any necessary powers.

               (a) The Company hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
        Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the
        purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any
        action and executing any instrument, including, without limitation, any
        financing statement or continuation statement, and taking any other
        action to maintain the validity, perfection, priority and enforcement of
        the security interest intended to be created hereunder, that the Lender
        may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
        hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled
        with an interest.

               (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5(a) hereof, the
        Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Lender, upon the
        occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the
        expense of the Company, either in the Lender's own name or in the name
        of the Company, at any time and from time to time:

                   (i) to ask, demand, receive, issue a receipt for, give
               acquittance for, settle and compromise any and all monies which
               may be or become due or payable or remain unpaid at any time or
               times to the Company, and any and all other property which may be
               or become deliverable at any time or times to the Company, under
               or with respect to the Pledged Collateral;

                   (ii) to endorse any drafts, checks, orders or other
               instruments for the payment of money payable to the Company on
               account of the Pledged Collateral (including any such draft,
               check, order or instrument issued by any insurance company
               payable jointly to the Company and the Lender); and

                   (iii) to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action,
               claim or proceeding, or take any other action, all either in its
               own name or in the name of the Company or otherwise, which the
               Lender may deem to be necessary or advisable for purpose of
               exercising and enforcing its powers and rights under this
               Agreement or in the furtherance of the purposes hereof, including
               any action which by the terms of this Agreement is to be taken by
               the Company.

               (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring or
        obligating the Lender to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as
        to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to
        present or file any claim or notice, or to take any other action with
        respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the
        amounts due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered
        thereby, or to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts assigned to
        it or to which it may otherwise be entitled hereunder at any time or
        times other than to account for amounts or Pledged Collateral received.

               (d) The Lender shall be entitled at any time to file this
        Agreement, or a photographic or any other reproduction of this
        Agreement, as a financing statement, but the failure of the Lender to do
        so shall not impair the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
        The Lender shall have no duty to comply with any recording, filing or
        other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the
        validity, priority or enforceability of, or the Lender's rights in or
        to, any of the Pledged Collateral.





                                        8

   10

               (e) In its discretion, the Lender may discharge taxes and other
        encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Pledged
        Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees. The
        Company agrees to reimburse the Lender on demand for any and all
        reasonable expenditures so made with interest on unpaid amounts at the
        maximum rate permitted by law. The Lender shall have no obligation to
        the Company to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof
        relieve the Company of any default.

               (f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
        shall remain liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the
        Pledged Collateral to be observed or performed by the Company
        thereunder. The Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under
        any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this
        Agreement or the receipt by the Lender of any payment relating to any of
        the Pledged Collateral, nor shall the Lender be obligated in any manner
        to perform any of the obligations of the Company under or pursuant to
        any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or
        sufficiency of any payment received by the Lender in respect of the
        Pledged Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any
        party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any
        claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the
        payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Lender or to
        which the Lender may be entitled at any time or times other than to
        account for amounts or Pledged Collateral received, an no action taken
        or omitted shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or right of
        action against the Lender, unless the Lender's actions are taken or
        omitted to be taken with gross negligence or bad faith or constitute
        willful misconduct. The Lender's sole duty with respect to the custody,
        safe keeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its
        possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to
        deal with such Pledged Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals
        with similar property for its own account.

               (g) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
        Lender may at any time at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee
        any securities constituting the Pledged Collateral, receive any income
        thereon and hold such income as additional Pledged Collateral or apply
        it to the Indebtedness. Regardless of whether any Indebtedness is due,
        the Lender may demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or
        compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Pledged
        Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Pledged Collateral or any
        other security for the Indebtedness, any deposits or other sums at any
        time credited by or due from the Lender to the Company may at any time
        be applied to or set off against any of the Indebtedness.

               (h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
        the Company shall, at the request of the Lender, notify obligors on the
        chattel paper and general intangibles of the Company and obligors on
        instruments for which the Company is an obligee of the security interest
        of the Lender in any chattel paper, general intangibles and instruments
        and that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Lender or to any
        financial institution designated by the Lender as the Lender's agent
        therefore, and the Lender may itself, if an Event of Default shall have
        occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon the
        Company, so notify said obligors. After the making of such a request or
        the giving of any such notification, the Company shall hold any proceeds
        of collection of chattel paper, general intangibles and instruments
        received by the Company as trustee for the Lender without commingling
        the same with other funds of the Company and shall turn the same over to
        the Lender in the identical form received, together with any necessary
        endorsements or assignments. The Lender shall apply the proceeds of
        collection of





                                        9

   11

        chattel paper, general intangibles and instruments received by the
        Lender to the Indebtedness, such proceeds to be immediately entered
        after final payment in cash of the items given rise to them.

        Section 6. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc.

               (a) Until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
        continuing:

                   (i) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, but
               subject to the provisions of the TCR Holding Stockholders
               Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to exercise any and all
               voting or consensual rights and powers, including subscription
               rights, in relation to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however,
               that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification
               given or action taken which would materially impair the Pledged
               Collateral or the value thereof or violate any provision of this
               Agreement, the Indenture or any other ancillary document;

                   (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
               Company shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
               dividends, distributions or other payments in respect of the
               Pledged Collateral and the Lender, upon receipt of any of the
               foregoing, shall promptly pay or distribute the same to the
               Company, and, to the extent so permitted, any distributions
               received by the Company and transferred to other persons shall
               pass free and clear of the lien and security interest hereof; and

                   (iii) the Lender shall execute and deliver to the Company or
               cause to be executed and delivered to the Company, all such
               proxies, powers of attorney, dividend orders and other
               instruments as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose
               of enabling it to exercise the voting or consensual rights and
               powers which the Company is entitled to exercise pursuant to the
               foregoing Section 6(a)(i) or to receive the dividends,
               distributions or other payments which the Company is authorized
               to retain pursuant to the foregoing Section 6(a)(ii).

               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
        Default, all rights of the Company to exercise the voting or consensual
        rights and powers which the Company would otherwise be entitled to
        exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) and to receive the dividends,
        distributions and other payments which the Pledgor would otherwise be
        authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) shall
        automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested
        in the Lender, which shall then have the sole and exclusive right and
        authority to exercise, in its sole discretion, all such voting and
        consensual rights and powers and to receive and retain as Pledged
        Collateral all such dividends, distributions and other payments. Without
        limiting the foregoing, in such event the Lender may exercise all voting
        and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation issuing any such
        securities and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription
        or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any such
        securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without
        limitation, the rights to exchange at its discretion, any and all such
        securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
        recapitalization or other readjustment of any corporation issuing any
        such securities or upon the exercise by any such issuer or the Lender of
        any right, privilege or option pertaining to any such securities, and,
        in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all securities
        with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other
        designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it my determine, all





                                       10

   12

        without liability except to account for the property actually received
        by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to exercise any of the
        aforesaid rights, privileges or options and the Lender shall not be
        responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

        Section 7. Default.

               (a) It shall constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
        this Agreement if a "Default" or an "Event of Default" shall occur under
        the Indenture.

               (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing,
        in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to
        the Lender under the UCC or the TARC Intercompany Loan Agreement or
        under Section 5(a) or 5(b) of this Agreement or otherwise under this
        Agreement or at law, the Lender shall also have the following rights and
        powers:

                   (i) The Lender may, without being required to give any notice
               except as hereinafter provided, sell the Pledged Collateral, or
               any part thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon
               credit or for future delivery and at such price or prices as the
               Lender deem satisfactory, and the Lender and/or its collateral
               agent may be the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged
               Collateral so sold and thereafter hold the same absolutely free
               from any right or claim of whatsoever kind by or on behalf of the
               Company, and the Indebtedness or any portion of the Indebtedness
               may be applied as a credit against the purchase price.

                   (ii) Upon any such sale, the Lender shall have the right to
               deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Pledged
               Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold
               the property sold absolutely free from any claim or rights of
               whatsoever kind by or on behalf of the Company, including any
               equity or rights of redemption of the Company, and the Company
               hereby specifically waives, to the full extent permitted by
               applicable law, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which
               it has or may have under any rule or law or statute now existing
               or hereafter adopted.

                   (iii) The Lender shall give the Company ten (10) Business
               Days' written notice (which the Company agrees is reasonable
               notification within the meaning of Section 9-504 of the UCC) of
               its intention to make any such public or private sale. Such
               notice, in case of public sale, shall state the time and place
               fixed for such sale and, in case of a private sale, shall state
               the date after which such sale is to be made.

                   (iv) Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
               within ordinary business hours and at such places as the Lender
               may fix in the notices of such sale. At any such sale the Pledged
               Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
               parcels, as the Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine.

                   (v) The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the
               Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless
               of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Collateral may
               have been given. The Lender may, without notice or publication,
               adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
               adjourned from time to time by





                                       11

   13

               announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such
               sale may, without further notice, be made at any time or place to
               which the same shall be so adjourned.

                   (vi) In case of any sale of all or any part of the Pledged
               Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged
               Collateral so sold may be retained by the Lender until the
               selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Lender
               shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such
               purchaser to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold
               and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may
               again be sold upon like notice.

                   (vii) The Lender, instead of exercising the power of sale
               herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law
               or in equity to exercise its remedies regarding the Pledged
               Collateral and sell the Pledged Collateral, or any portion
               thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
               competent jurisdiction.

                   (viii) The Company agrees that if any Event of Default shall
               have occurred and be continuing, then the Lender shall have the
               right to take possession of the Pledged Collateral, and for that
               purpose the Lender may, so far as the Company can give authority
               therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Pledged Collateral
               may be situated and remove the same therefrom with or without
               notice or process of law. The Company waives any and all rights
               that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the
               enforcement of any of the Lender's rights hereunder, including,
               without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to
               take immediate possession of the Pledged Collateral and to
               exercise its rights with respect thereto. To the extent that any
               of the Obligations are to be paid or performed by a person other
               than the Company, the Company waives and agrees not to assert any
               rights or privileges which it may have under Section 9-112 of the
               UCC.

                   (ix) If under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the
               Lender shall be required to make disposition of the Pledged
               Collateral within a period of time that does not permit the
               giving of notice to the Company as hereinbefore provided, the
               Lender need give the Company only such notice of disposition as
               shall be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory
               requirements of law.

                   (x) The Lender may instruct the obligor or obligors on any
               agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting the
               Pledged Collateral to make any payment or render any performance
               required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or obligation
               directly to the Lender or its designee.

               (c) The Lender shall incur no liability as a result of the sale
        of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale
        other than for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
        Company hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
        law, any claims against the Lender arising by reason of the fact that
        the price at which the Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such
        private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a
        public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness,
        even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer
        such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.





                                       12

   14

               (d) The Lender shall not be obligated to pursue or exhaust its
        rights and remedies against any particular Pledged Collateral or other
        security for the Indebtedness before pursuing or enforcing its rights
        and remedies against any other Pledged Collateral or other security for
        the Indebtedness.

               (e) To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives (i)
        any rights to require the Lender to proceed first against any other
        Person, to exhaust its rights in the Pledged Collateral or other
        security for the Indebtedness or to pursue any other right that the
        Lender might have, (ii) with respect to the TARC Intercompany Note,
        presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and
        nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of the intention to accelerate
        and notice of acceleration (except as otherwise set forth in the TARC
        Intercompany Loan Agreement), and (iii) all rights of marshaling in
        respect of any and all of the Pledged Collateral.

               (f) Without precluding any other methods of sale, the Company
        acknowledges that the sale of the Pledged Collateral shall have been
        made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with
        reasonable commercial practices of banks disposing of similar property.
        The Lender shall not be liable for any depreciation in the value of the
        Pledged Collateral.

               (g) The Company agrees that its obligation to deliver the Pledged
        Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that accordingly,
        upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Lender
        shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the
        Company of such obligation.

               (h) Remedies of the Lender are cumulative and the exercise of any
        one or more of the remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a
        waiver of any of the other remedies of the Lender.

               (i) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
        the proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon all or any part of
        the Pledged Collateral and any other amounts held by the Lender under
        this Agreement shall be applied by the Lender as provided in the
        Indenture.

        Any amounts remaining after such applications and the payment in full of
the TARC Intercompany Note with respect to the Indebtedness shall be remitted to
the Company, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct.

        Section 8. Regarding Sales of Pledged Collateral.

               (a) The Company recognizes that the Lender may be unable, or find
        it undesirable, to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged
        Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
        Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state
        securities laws or otherwise, but may be compelled or desire to resort
        to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
        who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such
        securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to
        the distribution or resale thereof in violation of the Securities Act.
        The Company acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may
        result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if
        such





                                       13

   15

        sale were a public sale, but, notwithstanding such circumstances, such
        private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
        reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a
        sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary
        to permit the issuing corporation of such securities to register such
        securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable
        state securities laws, even if the issuing corporation would agree to do
        so.

               (b) The Company further agrees to use commercially reasonable
        efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may
        be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of the
        Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all
        applicable laws, regulations, order, 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 Company's expense. The Company further
        agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8
        will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no
        adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
        agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be
        specifically enforceable against the Company, and the Company hereby
        waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
        specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no
        Event of Default has occurred under the Indenture.

        Section 9. General Provisions.

               (a) Continuing Security Interest: Binding Effect. This Agreement
        shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral
        and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until termination of the
        obligations of the Company under the TARC Intercompany Loan Agreement
        and the indefeasible payment in full thereafter of the Obligations; (b)
        be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns; and (c)
        inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and
        assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c),
        the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this
        Agreement to any other Person, and such Person shall thereupon become
        vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted herein or
        otherwise to the Lender. Upon the termination of the obligations of the
        Lender under the Indenture and the indefeasible payment in full
        thereafter of the Obligations, the Company shall be entitled to the
        return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Pledged
        Collateral as in the Lender's possession and as shall not have been sold
        or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the terms hereof.

               (b) Security Interest Absolute. The lien and security interest
        created hereunder and the Company's obligations hereunder and the
        Lender's rights hereunder shall not be release, diminished, impaired or
        adversely affected by the occurrence of any one or more of the following
        events:

                   (i) The taking or accepting of any other security or
               assurance for any or all of the Indebtedness;

                   (ii) Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination or loss
               of any security or assurance at any time existing in connection
               with any or all of the Indebtedness;





                                       14

   16

                   (iii) The modification of, amendment to, or waiver of
               compliance with any terms of the TARC Intercompany Loan Agreement
               or the TARC Intercompany Note;

                   (iv) Any renewal, extension and/or rearrangement of the
               payment of any or all of the Indebtedness or any statement,
               indulgence, forbearance or compromise that may be granted or
               given by the Lender to the company or any other Person;

                   (v) any negligent, delay, omission, failure or refusal of the
               Lender to make or prosecute any action in connection with any
               agreement, document or other instrument evidencing, security or
               assuring the payment of any of all of the Indebtedness;

                   (vi) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of all or
               any part of the TARC Intercompany Loan Agreement or the TARC
               Intercompany Note; or

                   (vii) any other circumstance (other than payment in full of
               the Obligations) that might otherwise constitute a defense
               available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any party to any
               document in respect of the Obligations.

               (c) Amendments. This Agreement or any term hereof may be amended
        or changed only by an instrument in writing executed jointly by the
        Company and the Lender and in accordance with Article IX of the
        Indenture.

               (d) Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy herein
        specifically granted to the Lender or otherwise available to it or now
        or hereafter existing in law or in equity shall be cumulative and
        concurrent, and shall be in addition to every other right, power and
        remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in
        equity, or otherwise (including, without limitation, all rights, powers
        and remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC), and each such
        right, power and remedy, whether specifically granted herein or
        otherwise existing, may be exercised at any time and from time to time
        as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lender in
        its sole and complete discretion. The provisions of this Agreement may
        only be waived by an instrument in writing signed by the Lender, and no
        failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
        exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any such right,
        power or remedy, shall operate as a wavier thereof, nor shall any single
        or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any
        other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No
        notice to or demand on the Company hereunder shall, of itself, entitle
        the Company to any other or further notice or demand in the same or
        similar circumstances.

               (e) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein or
        in the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, may be assigned by the
        Company without the prior written consent of the Lender, except as
        expressly permitted herein or in the TARC Intercompany Loan Agreement.
        The Company hereby acknowledges and consents to the Pledged Collateral
        assignment by the Lender of this agreement and the Lender's interest in
        the Pledged Collateral to the Indenture Trustee, as defined in the TARC
        Intercompany Loan Agreement. The Company also agrees that, in the case
        of an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may exercise any rights
        and remedies of the Lender under this agreement, and any reference to
        the "Lender" hereunder shall also include the Indenture Trustee.
