interests in favor of Ableco, the Pledgor is the owner of the Collateral free
and clear of any and all liens, security interests or other encumbrances of any

priority liens and security interests in favor of Fleet and the subordinated
second priority liens and security interests in favor of Ableco).

     (b)  The Pledgor (i) hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Fleet
and Ableco such financing statements (to the extent, if any, that the Pledgor's
signature is required thereon), certificates and other documents or instruments
as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Fleet and/or Ableco to perfect,
protect or from time to time renew the liens and security interests granted
hereby, including, without limitation, such financing statements, control
agreements, certificates and other documents as may be necessary to perfect a
security interest in any additional Collateral hereafter acquired by the Pledgor

statements and other documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement)
in such offices as the Pledgor may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in
order to perfect and preserve the rights and

                                       2



interests granted to Fleet and Ableco. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints
each of Fleet and Ableco as its true and lawful attorney for the purpose of
executing and filing any such financing statements or other agreements or
instruments.

4.   Control over the Collateral Account and the Collateral; Subordination of
Rights and Interests of Ableco. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges
and agrees as follows:

     (a)  Unless and until such time as Fleet shall have delivered a Termination
Notice to the Pledgor and Ableco, (i) Fleet has and shall continue to have
"control" of the Collateral Account and the Collateral (within the meaning of
such term under Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts) and full power and authority to set-off, apply,
debit, withdraw, dispose of and transfer funds from the Collateral Account
without the necessity of notifying or obtaining the consent of the Pledgor or
Ableco, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(e), 6(a) and 6(b) of
this Agreement, Fleet shall not be obligated to comply with, and shall have no
liability to the Pledgor or Ableco for refusing to comply with, any instructions
originated by the Pledgor or Ableco with respect to the Collateral Account or
the Collateral, including, without limitation, any instructions or directions
with respect to the disposition of funds in the Collateral Account, (iii)
regardless of the time, order or manner of attachment or perfection, or any
provision of the Ableco Documents to the contrary, the rights and interests of
Fleet in and to the Collateral Account and the Collateral have and shall
continue to have priority over and shall be senior in all respects to any rights
or interests of Ableco in and to the Collateral Account and the Collateral, and
(iv) it is the intent of the parties hereto that, except as otherwise provided
in Section 6(b), Termination of the Fleet Obligations shall have occurred before
any portion of the Collateral is delivered to Ableco or applied to the Ableco
Obligations.

     (b)  Until such time as the Ableco Obligations have been paid in full and
the Ableco Financing Agreement shall have terminated, (i) Ableco has and shall
continue to have "control" of the Collateral Account and the Collateral (within
the meaning of such term under Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts) and shall be able to direct the
disposition of funds from the Collateral Account without the necessity of
notifying or obtaining the consent of the Pledgor, and (ii) except as otherwise
provided in Section 6(a), Fleet will comply with all notifications it receives
directing it to transfer, redeem, or permit the withdrawal of any property in
the Collateral Account originated by Ableco without further consent by the
Pledgor; provided that, unless and until such time as Fleet shall have delivered
a Termination Notice to Ableco, Ableco shall not, except as otherwise provided
in Section 6(b), direct or instruct Fleet to take any action with respect to the
Collateral Account or the Collateral or otherwise assert or attempt to enforce
or avail itself of any lien or security interest in the Collateral or otherwise
realize upon the Collateral, and, except as otherwise provided in Section 6(b),
Fleet shall not be obligated to comply with any direction or instruction
originated by Ableco with respect to the Collateral Account or the Collateral,
including, without limitation, any instruction or direction regarding the
disposition of funds in the Collateral Account.

     (c)  Unless and until such time as (i) Fleet shall have delivered a
Termination Notice to the Pledgor, and (ii) the Ableco Obligations have been
repaid in full and the Ableco Financing Agreement has terminated, the Pledgor
shall have no right to access or withdraw any of the Collateral from the
Collateral Account or to instruct or direct Fleet to make withdrawals from or
transfer or dispose of any funds in the Collateral Account; and Fleet shall not,
except as otherwise provided in Section 6(a), comply with any withdrawal
request, direction or instruction originated by the Pledgor with respect to the
Collateral Account and the Collateral unless Ableco has previously consented to
such withdrawal request, direction or instruction in writing and notified Fleet
to comply with same. Promptly, but in any event within 3 business days after
Termination of the Fleet Obligations, Fleet shall deliver the Termination Notice
to the Pledgor and Ableco.

     (d)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the Ableco Documents
to the contrary, (i) the respective rights and priorities of the liens and
security interests of Fleet and Ableco set forth herein shall not be altered,
impaired or affected in any way by any amendment, modification, supplement to or
restatement of the Fleet Documents, any increase in Fleet's LC Commitment or in
Fleet's LC Exposure, any application of the Collateral against the Fleet
Obligations, or any release or reduction in the amount of the Collateral (and
Fleet expressly reserves the right, prior to the delivery of a Termination
Notice to Ableco, to amend, modify, supplement or restate the Fleet Documents,
to increase Fleet's LC Commitment, to apply the Collateral against the Fleet
Obligations, or to release all or any portion of the Collateral, without the
necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Ableco), and (ii)
until such time as Fleet shall have delivered a Termination Notice to the
Pledgor and Ableco, except as otherwise provided in Section 6(b), Fleet shall at
all times be authorized to, and shall act and refrain from acting in respect of,
and otherwise deal with, the Collateral and the Collateral Account, in its sole
and absolute discretion, without any obligation whatsoever on the part of Fleet
to notify or obtain the consent of the Pledgor or Ableco.

     (e)  At the time of delivery by Fleet to the Pledgor and Ableco of a
Termination Notice, the liens and security interests of Fleet in the Collateral
and the Collateral Account shall automatically be released, discharged and
terminated and Fleet shall, at the request of Ableco, or at the election of
Fleet (which election may be made by Fleet at any time in its sole discretion),
cause (and the Pledgor hereby authorizes and directs Fleet to cause) any
remaining Collateral in the Collateral Account to be

                                       3



delivered to Ableco (or to a depository institution specified in writing by
Ableco), to be held by or for the benefit of Ableco as security for the Ableco
Obligations of Ableco and the Lenders.

     (f)  If at any time Fleet shall exercise any of its rights with respect to
the Collateral (including, the right to apply any portion of the Collateral
against the Fleet Obligations or to set-off, foreclose, liquidate or otherwise
realize upon any portion of the Collateral), Fleet shall apply the proceeds of
the Collateral and the Collateral Account as follows: (i) first, to the payment
of any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Fleet in exercising its
rights (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees), and (ii)
second, to the repayment of any and all Fleet Obligations. If, following
Termination of the Fleet Obligations, there shall remain any surplus Collateral
in the Collateral Account which would otherwise, but for the security interest
of Ableco, be payable to the Pledgor, Fleet shall, unless directed otherwise by
a court of competent jurisdiction or by Ableco, deliver such surplus Collateral
to Ableco (or to a depository institution specified in writing by Ableco) to be
held by or for the benefit of Ableco and the Lenders as collateral for and/or
applied to the repayment of the Ableco Obligations in accordance with the terms
of the Ableco Documents. In exercising any rights with respect to the
Collateral, so long as Fleet acts in a commercially reasonable manner, Fleet may
proceed in any manner which Fleet, in its sole discretion, shall elect, without
in any way incurring any liability or obligations to the Pledgor or Ableco.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, in no
event shall Fleet be obligated to deliver any portion of the Collateral to the
Pledgor or Ableco unless and until such time as Termination of the Fleet
Obligations has occurred.

     (g)  In the event that Fleet shall exercise any of its rights with respect
to the Collateral under the Fleet Documents or under the provisions of any
applicable law (including, without limitation, the right of set-off), any
portion of the Collateral applied to the repayment of the Fleet Obligations
shall automatically be released and Ableco shall have no rights, claims or
interests against Fleet or against such portion of the Collateral. Ableco agrees
that promptly upon the written request of Fleet therefor, Ableco shall execute,
deliver and file any and all such termination statements, lien releases or other
agreements or instruments as Fleet shall reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate in order to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section
4(g).

5.   Application, Set-off and other Rights of Fleet. The Pledgor and Ableco
acknowledge and agree that under the terms of the Fleet Documents and applicable
law, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral or any other property or
collateral securing the Fleet Obligations, Fleet (a) may withdraw and apply from
the Collateral Account at any time and from time to time such funds as may be
necessary (i) to reimburse Fleet for any drawing made on any letter of credit
issued by Fleet under the terms of the Fleet Documents, and (ii) to cover any
fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees)and other amounts
for which the Pledgor may from time to time be liable to Fleet under the terms
of the Fleet Documents, (b) may set-off the Collateral and the Collateral
Account and any deposits or other sums at any time credited thereto against the
Fleet Obligations, and (c) has all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in Massachusetts), including, without
limitation, the rights of a secured party under Section 9-607 of the Uniform
Commercial Code. In no event shall the liens, rights and interests of Ableco, or
any term or provision of this Agreement, impair or affect in any way any rights
or remedies (including, without limitation, any rights of set off) that Fleet
may have against the Pledgor, the Collateral Account, the Collateral or any
other property or assets of the Pledgor prior to the date on which Fleet
delivers the Termination Notice to the Pledgor and Ableco.

6.   Periodic Withdrawals from the Collateral Account. The Pledgor and Ableco
acknowledge and agree that pursuant to the terms of the Fleet Documents so long
as no Default or Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Fleet
Documents on the date hereof) shall have occurred and be continuing or shall
arise therefrom:

     (a)  unless Ableco has notified Fleet that an event of default has occurred
and is continuing under the Ableco Financing Agreement, on the fifteenth day of
each calendar month (or if such day is not a business day, on the next
succeeding business day), commencing on October 15, 2002, Fleet shall withdraw
from the Collateral Account the aggregate amount of interest that has accrued on
the funds on deposit in the Collateral Account during the prior month, and shall
transfer such interest to Pledgor in accordance with the wire transfer
instructions of the Pledgor set forth on Schedule I hereto (whereupon such
interest shall no longer be subject to the liens and security interests of Fleet
or Ableco); and

     (b)  from time to time (but not more frequently than once each month) after
the earlier of (x) 3 Business Days after the date on which Fleet's LC Commitment
terminates, and (y) March 31, 2003, upon the written request of Ableco, Fleet
shall withdraw from the Collateral Account the amount, if any, by which (i) the
aggregate amount of funds on deposit in the Collateral Account (exclusive of the
interest amounts referred to in Section 6(a)) exceeds (ii) the product of (A)
one hundred three percent (103%) multiplied by (B) Fleet's LC Exposure at such
time, and shall transfer such excess amount to Ableco in accordance with the
wire transfer instructions of Ableco set forth on Schedule I hereto to be
applied by Ableco against the Ableco Obligations (whereupon such excess amount
shall no longer be subject to the liens and security interests of Fleet).

                                       4



Each of the Pledgor and Ableco hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Fleet to
make the transfers described in this Section 6, and hereby agree that in no
event shall Fleet be liable or obligated to the Pledgor or Ableco for any
transfer made in accordance with this Section 6, or for any failure by Fleet to
make any such transfer if Fleet, in its reasonable determination, believes that
a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Fleet
Documents, or that such transfer may expose Fleet to any obligation, liability
or expense (other than any administrative costs and expenses related to or
incurred in connection with the transfers described in this Section 6).

7.   No Consent Required; Authority of Fleet to Act. Notwithstanding any
separate agreement that the Pledgor may have with Ableco or any other party, the
Pledgor and Ableco acknowledge and agree that unless and until such time as
Fleet shall have delivered a Termination Notice to the Pledgor and Ableco, Fleet
shall be authorized and directed to take such actions with respect to the
Collateral and the Collateral Account as Fleet, in its sole discretion,
determines to be necessary, appropriate or in the best interests of Fleet
(including, without limitation, exercising any rights of set-off which Fleet may
have with respect to the Collateral or the Collateral Account), in each case,
without the necessity of giving prior notice to, or obtaining any consent from,
the Pledgor or Ableco.

8.   Standard of Care. Neither Fleet nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it under, or in connection with, this Agreement, except for gross
negligence or willful misconduct by Fleet as determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. IN NO EVENT SHALL
FLEET BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES) EVEN IF IT
IS INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF
ACTION IN WHICH ANY SUCH DAMAGES MAY BE CLAIMED. SO LONG AS FLEET SHALL HAVE
ACTED (OR REFRAINED FROM ACTING) IN GOOD FAITH, IT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
ERROR OF JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION TAKEN, SUFFERED OR OMITTED BY, OR FOR ANY
MISTAKE OF FACT OR LAW, UNLESS SUCH ACTION IS FOUND TO CONSTITUTE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. Fleet will not incur any liability hereunder by
acting or not acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate,
statement or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed
or sent by the proper party or parties. Fleet shall not incur liability
hereunder for any notice, consent, certificate, wire instruction, telecopy, or
other writing which is delayed, canceled or changed without the actual knowledge
of Fleet. Fleet shall not incur any liability for acts or omissions of any
domestic or foreign depository or book-entry system for the central handling of
financial assets or any domestic or foreign custodian or subcustodian. Fleet
shall not be responsible for the title, value, validity or genuineness of any
Collateral subject to this Agreement. Fleet shall have no liability to the
Pledgor or any other person or entity for remitting any portion of the
Collateral in the Collateral Account to Ableco after the delivery by Fleet of a
Termination Notice even if contrary instructions have been delivered to Fleet by
the Pledgor and Fleet shall have no duty to investigate whether and to what
extent any Ableco Obligations shall then be outstanding.

9.   No Additional Duties. Fleet shall have no responsibilities, obligations or
duties other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied
duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be read into this Agreement;
without limiting the foregoing, Fleet shall have no duty to preserve, exercise
or enforce rights in the Collateral (against prior parties or otherwise). This
Agreement is not intended by the parties to impose or create any obligations or
duties upon Fleet greater than, or in addition to, the customary and usual
obligations and duties of Fleet to the Pledgor, except as otherwise provided in
Section 6. The Pledgor and Fleet acknowledge that this Agreement supplements the
Pledgor's existing cash management and other relationships with Fleet and in no
way is this Agreement intended to abridge any rights that Fleet might otherwise
have under the Fleet Documents or applicable law. Fleet makes no representations
and assumes no responsibility as to the validity, enforceability or perfection,
if any, of Ableco's purported liens and security interests in the Collateral,
other than Fleet's obligation to act in accordance with the material terms of
this Agreement.

10.  Force Majeure. Fleet shall not be responsible for delays or failures in
performance resulting from acts beyond its control, including Acts of God,
strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics, nationalization,
expropriation, currency restrictions, governmental regulations superimposed
after the fact, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes
or other disasters.

11.  Release and Indemnification. The Pledgor and Ableco hereby release Fleet
and its respective affiliates, officers and employees from any and all claims,
causes of action, liabilities, losses, lawsuits, recoupment, demands and/or
damages, fines, penalties and expenses that may arise as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as a result of Fleet entering
into or acting in accordance with this Agreement, making any transfers of funds
contemplated by this Agreement, or

                                       5



following any instructions given to Fleet by Ableco or the Pledgor in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, except for proven gross negligence or willful
misconduct by Fleet. The Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Fleet and
its respective affiliates, officers and employees from and against any and all
claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, lawsuits, recoupment, demands
and/or damages, fines, penalties and expenses, including, without limitation,
out of pocket expenses and any and all court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees, that may arise as a result of Fleet entering into or taking or failing to
take any action under this Agreement, making any transfers of funds contemplated
by this Agreement, or following any instructions given to Fleet by Ableco or the
Pledgor under this Agreement, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct
by Fleet as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. This indemnification shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. Ableco will indemnify Fleet, and its officers, directors,
employees, and agents, against claims, liabilities, and reasonable expenses
(including reasonable attorney fees and disbursements) arising out of (i)
directions or instructions given by Ableco to Fleet under this Agreement, (ii)
actions taken by Fleet in compliance with such directions or instructions, and
(iii) transfers of funds from the Collateral Account to Ableco as provided in
this Agreement, except to the extent the claims, liabilities, or expenses are
caused by Fleet's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.  Reporting of Income. All items of income, if any, including dividends,
interest and other income, gain, expense and loss on the Collateral shall be
reported by Fleet in the name and tax identification number of the Pledgor.

13.  Construction; Amendment; Conflict; Entire Agreement. If any term or
provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid
or unenforceable term or provision were omitted. No amendment, modification or
termination of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding
on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by the party to be
charged. Each of the parties hereto intends that a facsimile transmission of a
duly executed counterpart hereof shall be valid in all respects, as an original.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts all of which shall
constitute one original agreement. In the event of a conflict between this
Agreement and any other Fleet Document, as between Fleet and the Pledgor, the
terms of such other Fleet Document shall prevail; provided that if the terms of
any Fleet Document relating to the Collateral Account afford the Pledgor access
to or the right to withdraw funds from the Collateral Account, the terms of this
Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the
Pledgor, Ableco and Fleet with respect to the relative priorities of Fleet and
Ableco in the Collateral, and supersedes all prior agreements (written or oral)
and negotiations and all contemporaneous oral agreements concerning such subject
matter and negotiations.

14.  Representations and Warranties; Ableco/Fleet Covenant. Each of the parties
represents and warrants that (i) it is duly incorporated or organized and is
validly existing in good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
all documents and instruments to be delivered hereunder or thereunder have been
duly authorized, (iii) the person executing this Agreement on its behalf has
been duly authorized to act on its behalf, (iv) this Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid, binding and enforceable agreement, and (v) entering into this
Agreement will not violate any agreement, law, rule or regulation by which it is
bound or by which any of its assets are affected. Ableco covenants that it shall
deliver to Fleet prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default
under the Ableco Financing Agreement, and Fleet covenants that it shall deliver
to Ableco prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default under
the Fleet Facility Agreement; provided that the failure of any party to give
notice as required hereby shall not affect the relative priorities of the
respective security interests of Fleet and Ableco as provided herein or the
validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Pledgor, and
provided further that neither Fleet nor Ableco shall incur any liability to any
other party hereto as a result of its failure to give notice as required hereby.
