absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Pledgees, their
successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns the due and punctual performance
and payment of the Obligations owing to the Pledgees, their successors,
endorsees, transferees or assigns when due, all at the time and place and in the
amount and manner prescribed in, and otherwise in accordance with, the
Transaction Documents, regardless of any defense or set-off counterclaim which
the Company or any other person may have or assert, and regardless of whether or
not the Pledgees or anyone on behalf of the Pledgees shall have instituted any
suit, action or proceeding or exhausted its remedies or taken any steps to
enforce any rights against the Company or any other person to compel any such
performance or observance or to collect all or part of any such amount, either
pursuant to the provisions of the Transaction Documents or at law or in equity,
and regardless of any other condition or contingency. The Pledgor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to the Pledgees beyond the Collateral pledged for the
Obligations set forth herein.
2. Waiver of Demand. The Pledgor hereby unconditionally: (i) waives
----------------
any requirement that the Pledgees, in the event of a breach in any material
respect by the Company of any of its representations or warranties in the
Transaction Documents, first make demand upon, or seek to enforce remedies
against, the Company or any other person before demanding payment of enforcement
hereunder; (ii) covenants that this Agreement will not be discharged except by
complete performance of all the Obligations to the extent of the Collateral;
(iii) agrees that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired, without limitation, by, any
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability in whole or in part of the
Transaction Documents or any limitation on the liability of the Company
thereunder, or any limitation on the method or terms of payment thereunder which
may now or hereafter be caused or imposed in any manner whatsoever; and (iv)
waives diligence, presentment and protest with respect to, and notice of default
in the performance or payment of any Obligation by the Company under or in
connection with the Transaction Documents.
3. Release. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the
-------
Pledgor hereunder shall not be released, affected or impaired by any assignment
or transfer, in whole or in part, of the Transaction Documents or any
Obligation, although made without notice to or the consent of the Pledgor, or
any waiver by the Pledgees, or by any other person, of the performance or
observance by the Company or the Pledgor of any of the agreements, covenants,
terms or conditions contained in the Transaction Documents, or any indulgence in
or the extension of the time or renewal thereof, or the modification or
amendment (whether material or otherwise), or the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the stock or
assets of the Company or the Pledgor, or any receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceedings, affecting the Company
or the Pledgor or any assets of the Company or the Pledgor, or the release of
any proper from any security for any Obligation, or the impairment of any such
property or security, or the release or discharge of the Company or the Pledgor
from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition
contained in or arising out of the Transaction Documents by operation of law, or
the merger or consolidation of the Company, or any other cause, whether similar
or dissimilar to the foregoing.
4. Subrogation.
-----------
(a) Unless and until complete performance of all the Obligations to the
extent of the Collateral, the Pledgor shall not be entitled to exercise any
right of subrogation to any of the rights of the Pledgees against the Company or
any collateral security or guaranty held by the Pledgees for the payment or
performance of the Obligations, nor shall the Pledgor seek any reimbursement
from the Company in respect of payments made by the Pledgor hereunder.
(b) In the extent that the Pledgor shall become obligated to perform or pay
any sums hereunder, or in the event that for any reason the Company is now or
shall hereafter become indebted to the Pledgor, the amount of such sum shall at
all times be subordinate as to lien, time of payment and in all other respects,
to the amounts owing to the Pledgees under the Transaction Documents and the
Pledgor shall not enforce or receive payment thereof until all Obligations due
to the Pledgees under the Transaction have been performed or paid. Nothing
herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give to the Pledgor any
right of subrogation in or under the Transaction Documents, or any right to
participate in any way therein, or in any right, title or interest in the assets
of the Pledgees.
5. Security. As collateral security for the punctual payment and
--------
performance, when due, by the Company of all the Obligations, the Pledgor hereby
pledges with, hypothecates, transfers and assigns to the Pledgees all of the
Shares and all proceeds, shares and other securities received, receivable or
otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Shares, including,
without limitation, any shares and other securities into which such Shares may
be convertible or exchangeable (collectively, the "Additional Collateral" and
---------------------
together with the Shares, the "Collateral"). Simultaneously herewith, the
----------
Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgees the certificate(s) representing the
Shares, stamped with a bank medallion guarantee, along with a stock transfer
power duly executed in blank by the Pledgor, to be held by the Pledgees as
security. Any Collateral received by the Pledgor on or after the date hereof
shall be immediately delivered to the Pledgees together with any executed stock
powers or other transfer documents requested by the Pledgees, which request may
be made at any time prior to the date when the Obligations shall have been paid
and otherwise satisfied in full.
6. Voting Power, Dividends, Etc. and other Agreements.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) Unless and until an Event of Default (as set forth in Section 7 hereof)
has occurred, the Pledgor shall be entitled to:
(i) Exercise all voting and/or consensual powers pertaining to the
Collateral, or any part thereof, for all purposes;
(ii) Receive and retain dividends paid with respect to the Collateral;
and
(iii) Receive the benefits of any income tax deductions available to
the Pledgor as a shareholder of the Company.
(b) The Pledgor agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.
(c) The Pledgor and the Company jointly and severally agree to pay all
costs including all reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by the
Pledgees in enforcing this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
7. Default and Remedies.
--------------------
(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Event of Default" shall mean:
----------------
(i) default in or under any of the Obligations after the expiration,
without cure, of any applicable cure period;
(ii) a breach in any material respect by the Company of any of its
representations or warranties in the Transaction Documents; or
(iii) a breach in any material respect by the Pledgor of any of its
representations or warranties in this Agreement.
(b) the Pledgees shall have the following rights upon any Event of Default:
(i) the rights and remedies provided by the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted by the State of New York (the "UCC") (as said law may at any time
---
be amended);
(ii) the right to receive and retain all dividends, payments and other
distributions of any kind upon any or all of the Collateral;
(iii) the right to cause any or all of the Collateral to be
transferred to its own name or to the name of its designee and have such
transfer recorded in any place or places deemed appropriate by the
Pledgees; and
(iv) the right to sell, at a public or private sale, the Collateral or
any part thereof for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such
price or prices in accordance with the UCC (as such law may be amended from
time to time). Upon any such sale the Pledgees shall have the right to
deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so
sold. The Pledgees shall give the Pledgor not less than ten (10) days'
written notice of its intention to make any such sale. Any such sale, shall
be held at such time or times during ordinary business hours and at such
place or places as the Pledgees may fix in the notice of such sale. The
Pledgees may adjourn or cancel any sale or cause the same to be adjourned
from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale,
and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so
adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral upon
terms calling for payments in the future, any Collateral so sold may be
retained by the Pledgees until the selling price is paid by the purchaser
thereof, but the Pledgees shall incur no liability in the case of the
failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold
and, in the case of such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon
like notice. The Pledgees, however, instead of exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon them, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in
equity to foreclose the security interest and sell the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction, the Pledgor having been given due notice of all
such action. The Pledgees shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof. All proceeds of any such sale, after
deducting the reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred
in connection with such sale, shall be applied in reduction of the
Obligations, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Pledgor.
8. Application of Proceeds; Release. The proceeds of any sale or
--------------------------------
enforcement of or against all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash
or collateral at the time held by the Pledgees hereunder, shall be applied by
the Pledgees first to the payment of the reasonable costs of any such sale or
enforcement, then to reimburse the Pledgees for any damages, costs or expenses
incurred by the Pledgees as a result of an Event of Default, then to the payment
of the principal amount or stated valued (as applicable) of, and interest or
dividends (as applicable) and any other payments due in respect of, the
Obligations. The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Pledgor. As used in
this Agreement, "proceeds" shall mean cash, securities and other property
--------
realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, the Collateral, including
any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt
of any issuer of securities included in the Collateral.
9. Representations and Warranties.
------------------------------
(a) The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Pledgees that:
(i) the Pledgor has full power and authority and legal right to pledge
the Collateral to the Pledgees pursuant to this Agreement and this
Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
other instruments contemplated herein will not violate any provision of any
order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality or of any
mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Pledgor is a
party or by which the Pledgor and the Collateral may be bound, and will not
result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on,
or security interest in, any of the Pledgor's properties pursuant to the
provisions of such mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement.
(iii) the Pledgor is the sole record and beneficial owner of all of
the Shares; and
(iv) the Pledgor owns the Collateral free and clear of all Liens.
(b) The Company represents and warrants to the Pledgees that:
(i) it has no knowledge that any of the representations or warranties
of the Pledgor herein are incorrect or false in any material respect;
(ii) all of the Shares were validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable; and
(iii) the Pledgor is the record holder of the Shares.
10. No Waiver; No Election of Remedies. No failure on the part of the
----------------------------------
Pledgees to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Pledgees of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of
the Pledgees at law or equity or under this Agreement or any of the documents
shall not be deemed to be an election of Pledgee's rights or remedies under such
documents or at law or equity.
11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the date on which
-----------
all Obligations have been performed, satisfied, paid or discharged in full.
12. Further Assurances. The parties hereto agree that, from time to
------------------
time upon the written request of any party hereto, they will execute and deliver
such further documents and do such other acts and things as such party may
reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement. The
Pledgees acknowledge that they are aware that Pledgor shall have no obligations
whatsoever to the Pledgees beyond the Collateral pledged for the Obligations set
forth herein, and no request for further assurance may or shall increase such
Obligations.
13. Miscellaneous.

------------
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and specifically
incorporates all prior oral and written agreements relating to the subject
matter hereof. No portion or provision of this Agreement may be changed,
