              B.

            	
              As
                a condition to the Beneficiary agreeing to enter into the Guaranteed
                Agreement and lend such monies, the Beneficiary requires this Guarantee;
                and

                agreeing to lend such monies to the
                Obligor.

            


    

    


    IT
      IS AGREED:

    


    
      	1	
              GUARANTEE

            


    

     

    
      	1.1	
              The
                Guarantor as primary obligor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
                guarantees to the Beneficiary the due and punctual payment by the
                Obligor
                of all monies that are or may become due from the Obligor under or
                in
                respect of the Guaranteed Agreement including without limitation
                the
                principal of and interest on the loan made under the Guaranteed Agreement
                and any damages or other liability in respect of any breach of the
                Guaranteed Agreement (the “Guaranteed
                Amounts”).

            


    

    


    
      	1.2	
              If
                and whenever the Obligor defaults for any reason whatsoever in the
                payment
                of any Guaranteed Amount, the Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand
                pay
                (or procure the payment of) the Guaranteed Amount in regard to which
                such
                default has been made in the manner prescribed by the Guaranteed
                Agreement
                and so that the same benefits shall be conferred on the Beneficiary
                as it
                would have received if the Guaranteed Amounts had been duly paid
                by the
                Obligor. 

            


    

    


    
      	1.3	
              This
                deed is in addition to and not in substitution for any other security
                which the Beneficiary may at any time hold for payment of the Guaranteed
                Amounts and may be enforced without first having recourse to any
                such
                security and without taking any steps or proceedings against the
                Obligor.

            


    

    


    
      	1.4	
              As
                a separate and independent stipulation the Guarantor agrees that
                any of
                the Guaranteed Amounts which may not be recoverable from or enforceable
                against the Obligor by reason of any legal limitation, disability
                or
                incapacity on or of the Obligor, the invalidity of the Guaranteed
                Agreement, the Obligor not being legally bound by the Guaranteed
                Agreement
                for failure of it being properly executed and delivered, or any other
                fact
                or circumstance (other than proper payment or performance, binding
                written
                waiver by the Beneficiary, or any limitation imposed by the Guaranteed
                Agreement) shall nevertheless be recoverable from the Guarantor as
                though
                the same had been owed by the Guarantor and the Guarantor were the
                sole or
                principal obligor in respect thereof and shall be paid by the Guarantor
                forthwith upon demand.

                that the Beneficiary or the Obligor may do or omit or neglect to
                do which,
                but for this provision, might release or discharge the Guarantor’s
                obligations hereunder;

            


    

    


    
      	2.2

                expressed to be assumed or owed by the Obligor under the Guaranteed
                Agreement;

            


    

    


    
      	2.3	
              the
                existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor

                have at any time against the Obligor, the Beneficiary, or any other
                person
                or which the Obligor may have against the Guarantor, whether in connection
                with the Guaranteed Agreement or otherwise;


            


    

    


    
      	2.4	
              any
                payment or discharge under the Guaranteed Agreement which is avoided
                or
                repaid as a consequence of the amalgamation, reorganisation, liquidation,
                dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or other similar
                process against the Obligor; or

            


    

    


    
      	2.5	
              any
                compromise of any dispute with the Obligor, any failure of supervision
                to
                detect or prevent any fault by the Beneficiary or any assignment
                of the
                benefit of the Guaranteed
                Agreement.

    The
      Guarantor hereby authorises the Obligor and the Beneficiary to make any addendum
      or variation to the Guaranteed Agreement, and the Guarantor hereby guarantees
      the due and punctual payment by the Obligor of all monies that are or may become
      due from the Obligor under or in respect of the amended Guaranteed Agreement
      under the terms of this deed; provided
      that
      if any
      such addendum or variation increases the principal amount of the loan under
      the
      Guaranteed Agreement (otherwise than as a result of compounding interest as
      provided therein), then unless it is made with the Guarantor’s express written
      consent, such addendum or variation shall not increase the extent of the
      Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder and this Deed and the
      guarantees and undertakings in this Deed shall apply and extend only to such
      monies as were due under the Guaranteed Agreement prior to such addendum or
      variation and shall not apply to any monies due in respect of any drawdowns
      made
      pursuant to, or after, such addendum or variation.

      any
      such defence, set-off, counterclaim or other right as if the action had been
      brought by the Beneficiary against the Obligor under the Guaranteed
      Agreement.

              SERVICE
                OF PROCESS

            


    

     

    
      	12.1	
              The
                Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints Trident Corporate Services
                (UK)
                Limited, 7 Welbeck Street, London W1G9YE, England, as its agent under
                this
                Agreement for service of process in any proceedings before the English
                courts.

            


    

    


    
      	12.2	
              If
                any person appointed as process agent is unable for any reason to
                act as
                agent for service of process, the Guarantor must immediately appoint
                another agent on terms acceptable to the Beneficiary. Failing this,
                the
                Beneficiary may appoint another agent for this
                purpose.

            


    

    


    
      	12.3	
              The
                Guarantor agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of
                any
                process will not invalidate the relevant
                proceedings.

            


    

    


    
      	12.4	
              This
                Clause does not affect any other method of service allowed by
                law.
