            A. Borrower, Guarantors,  Collateral Agent, and BNY, in
its capacity
as Trustee (in such capacity,  the  "TRUSTEE"),  have entered into

(the  "INDENTURE  PLEDGE  AGREEMENT"),  made by the Borrower and
the  Guarantors
parties  thereto  in  favor  of the  Collateral  Agent  for the 
benefit  of the
Collateral  Agent, the Trustee,  and the Noteholders,  and certain
real property
mortgages  (made  prior to the date hereof and from time to time

Obligations  (as
hereinafter  defined),  in the  manner  and  to  the  extent 
provided  in  this
Agreement.

            E. The terms of the Indenture permit the Borrower and
the Guarantors
to enter into the Original Loan  Agreement,  subject to compliance 
with certain
conditions,  and in connection  therewith  authorize  and direct
the  Collateral
Agent to enter into a subordination  agreement substantially in the

(or assist or
support any other Person in contesting or challenging),  directly
or indirectly,
whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency 
Proceeding),  the
validity, priority,  enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of
the Lender in
respect of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent, for itself, the
Trustee, and on
behalf  of the  Noteholders,  agrees  that  none of the  Collateral

any exercise
of remedies undertaken by the Lender under the Lender Loan
Documents,  including
any public or private sale, lease,  exchange,  transfer, or other
disposition of
the Collateral,  whether by foreclosure or otherwise.  The
Collateral Agent, for
itself, the Trustee, and on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby
waives any and all
rights it, the Trustee, or the Noteholders may have as a junior
lien creditor or
otherwise to contest, protest, object to, interfere with the manner
in which the
Lender  seeks to enforce  the Liens in any portion of the 
Collateral  (it being
understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall govern
with respect
to the  Collateral  even if any portion of the Liens securing the
Loan Agreement
Secured Obligations are avoided, disallowed, set aside, or
otherwise invalidated
in any judicial  proceeding or  otherwise).  The Lender agrees that
it shall not
(and  hereby  waives any right to) take any action to contest or 
challenge  (or
assist or support any other Person in  contesting or  challenging),
 directly or
indirectly,  whether  or not  in any  proceeding  (including  in
any  Insolvency
Proceeding), the validity, priority,  enforceability, or perfection
of the Liens
of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral. Following the
Discharge of
Loan Agreement Secured Obligations,  the Lender agrees that it will
not take any
action that would hinder any exercise of remedies  undertaken by
the  Collateral
Agent,  the Trustee,  or any  Noteholder  under the  Indenture 
Loan  Documents,
including  any public or  private  sale,  lease,  exchange, 
transfer;  or other
disposition of the  Collateral,  whether by foreclosure or
otherwise.  Following
the Discharge of Loan Agreement  Secured  Obligations,  the Lender
hereby waives
any and all  rights  it may have as a  junior  lien  creditor  or 
otherwise  to
contest,  protest,  object to, interfere with the manner in which
the Collateral
Agent,  the Trustee or any Noteholder  seeks to enforce the Liens
in any portion
of the  Collateral  (it  being  understood  and  agreed  that the 
terms of this
Agreement shall govern with respect to the Collateral even if any
portion of the
Liens securing the Indenture Secured  Obligations are avoided, 
disallowed,  set
aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or
otherwise).

            Section 2.03 REMEDIES  STANDSTILL.  At any time after
the occurrence
and  during  the  continuation  of an Event  of  Default  under 
any of the Loan
Documents,  the Lender may send a Standstill Notice to the
Collateral Agent. The
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the
Noteholders, agrees,
that from and after the date of its receipt of any  Standstill 
Notice,  none of
the Collateral  Agent,  the Trustee,  or any Noteholder will
exercise any of its
rights or remedies in respect of the collection on, set off
against, marshalling
of,  or  foreclosure  on the  Collateral  or any  other  right 
relating  to any
Collateral  (including the exercise of any voting rights relating
to any Capital

                                      -8-






Stock  constituting  Collateral) under the Indenture Loan
Documents,  applicable
law or  otherwise  as a  secured  creditor  and  will not  take or 
receive  any
Collateral  in  connection  with  the  exercise  of any  such 
right  or  remedy
(including  recoupment or set-off),  whether under the Indenture
Loan Documents,
applicable  law, in an Insolvency  Proceeding or otherwise  unless
and until (a)
the Lender has expressly waived or acknowledged the cure of the
applicable Event
of Default in writing or the Discharge of the Loan Agreement
Secured Obligations
shall have  occurred,  or (b) 90 days shall  have  elapsed  from
the date of the
Collateral Agent's receipt of such Standstill Notice, except with
respect to any
Collateral  which the Lender is  pursuing  its rights or  remedies 
as a secured
creditor to effect the collection,  foreclosure, sale, or other
realization upon
or  disposition of such  collateral.  From and after the earlier to
occur of (i)
the  Collateral  Agent's  receipt  of such  waiver or cure  notice,
 or (ii) the
elapsing of such 90th day period,  any of the Collateral Agent, the
Trustee,  or
any  Noteholder  may  commence to exercise  any of its rights and 
remedies as a
secured creditor under the Indenture Loan Documents, applicable law
or otherwise
(subject to the provisions of this Agreement,  including Section
4.02 hereof and
except with respect to any such  Collateral  as to which the Lender
is effecting
the collection,  foreclosure, sale or other realization upon or
disposition of).
The Lender may only send 3  Standstill  Notices  following  the
date  hereof (it
being  understood and agreed as clarification to the foregoing that
no more than
3 Standstill  Notices may be provided whether  delivered  hereunder
or under any
corresponding  provision  of any  other  agreement  similar  hereto
 that may be
delivered  pursuant  to Section  7.16) and no Event of Default  may
serve as the
basis for any subsequent Standstill Notice unless 90 consecutive
days shall have
elapsed  from the date that  such  Event of  Default  was cured or
waived by the
Lender, and no more than one Standstill Notice may be given by the
Lender in any
consecutive 365-day period. The time period during which the
Collateral Agent is
not permitted to exercise  rights or remedies  under this section
is referred to
herein as the "STANDSTILL PERIOD".

            Section 2.04 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS.

                (a) NO OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Except as expressly set
forth in this
Agreement,  each of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the
Noteholders,  and the
Lender  shall  have any and all rights  and  remedies  it may have
as a creditor
under  applicable law,  including the rights to exercise all rights
and remedies
in  foreclosure or otherwise  with respect to any of the 
Collateral;  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that any such  exercise by the  Collateral  Agent,  the
Trustee or the
Noteholders,  and any collection or sale of all or any portion of
the Collateral
by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders, shall be
subject to the
Liens of the Lender on the Collateral to the extent provided in
Section 2.01 and
to the provisions of this Agreement including Section 4.02 hereof.
In exercising
rights and remedies with respect to the  Collateral,  the Lender
may enforce the
provisions of the Lender Loan Documents and exercise remedies
thereunder, all in
such order and in such manner as it may  determine  in the 
exercise of its sole
discretion.  Such  exercise  and  enforcement  shall  include  the
sale,  lease,
license, or other disposition of all or any portion of the
Collateral by private
or public sale or any other means  permissible  under applicable
law;  PROVIDED,
that the Lender  agrees to provide  copies of any  notices  that it
is  required
under  applicable  law to  deliver  to the  Borrower  or  any 
Guarantor  to the
Collateral Agent; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the failure to provide
any such copies
to the Collateral Agent shall not impair any of the Lender's rights
hereunder.

                                      -9-






                (b) RELEASE OF LIENS. In the event of any such
private or public
sale,  Collateral  Agent  agrees,  on behalf of  itself,  the 
Trustee,  and the
Noteholders,  that such sale  will be free and clear of the Liens 
securing  the
Indenture Secured Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition
includes the
Equity  Interests in Borrower or any  Guarantor,  agrees to release
