the interests of the Secured Loan Lender Group in such collateral.

         8.  Letters of Credit. To the extent a payment is made hereunder in
accordance with Section 3 of Net Proceeds of Collateral in respect of Working
Capital Obligations, with respect to undrawn letters of credit, such payments
may be retained and held as collateral by the Working Capital Agent to be
applied to letters of credit. To the extent such letters of credit shall expire
undrawn, the Collateral shall be released and deemed received under this
Intercreditor Agreement at the time of such release to be applied as set forth
in this Intercreditor Agreement.

         9.  Trust. Any payments received by the Working Capital Agent, the
Working Capital US Collateral Agent, the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent,
the US Security Trustee, the UK Security Trustee, the Working Capital Lenders,
the Secured Loan Agent or the Secured

                                       10

<PAGE>

Loan Banks contrary to the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement shall be
held by the recipient in trust and paid to the party entitled thereto under this
Intercreditor Agreement.

         10. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Senior Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in
excess of the share to which it is entitled under this Intercreditor Agreement,
such Senior Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Secured Loan Agent and the
Working Capital Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other affected
Senior Lenders such participations in the Obligations as shall be necessary to
put each Senior Lender in the same position as it would have been in, had the
relevant Senior Lender not obtained the payment in excess of the share to which
it is entitled under this Intercreditor Agreement. If a Senior Lender under the
Secured Loan Agreement purchases a participation in any Working Capital
Obligation pursuant to this Section 10, it should not improve its priority
position as a result of purchasing a prior ranking participation. Consequently,
any recovery made by such a Senior Lender pursuant to such participation
(including pursuant to set off rights) shall itself be treated as a payment in
excess of the share to which it is entitled under this Intercreditor Agreement,
with the result that the provisions of this Section 10 should apply to any such
recovery; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment
is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Senior Lender, such purchase shall
to that extent be rescinded and each other affected Senior Lender shall repay to
the purchasing Senior Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an
amount equal to such paying Senior Lender's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Senior Lender's required repayment
to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Senior Lender) of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Senior Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Loan Party agrees any Senior
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Senior Lender may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off), with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Senior Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Loan Party in the
amount of such participation. The Secured Loan Agent and the Working Capital
Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of
manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 10 and will in
each case notify the Senior Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.
Consistent with the foregoing, the extinguishment or effective extinguishment of
liability under a contingent guaranty or indemnity under the UK Credit Agreement
shall constitute a payment for the purposes of this Section 10.

         11. Insolvency Proceedings.

         (a) Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, any
distribution of any kind made in any Insolvency Proceeding of a Loan Party on
account of the Collateral shall be allocated and distributed in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3 hereof and in the event, for whatever reason, such a
distribution does not occur, the party receiving any portion of a distribution
made in violation of Section 3 hereof shall hold such portion in trust in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof and shall promptly deliver
such portion to the party that should have instead received it pursuant to
Section 3 hereof to then be further distributed by such party as provided in
Section 3. Without limiting the generality of Section 3 hereof or of any other
provision of this Intercreditor Agreement, if, in any Insolvency Proceeding of
any Loan Party, a party hereto obtains a cash or other payment in connection
with any asserted or

                                       11

<PAGE>

determined impairment to its interest in any of the Collateral or otherwise as a
form of "adequate protection" of its interest in any of the Collateral, such
payment shall be deemed, for purposes of this Intercreditor Agreement, to be Net
Proceeds of Collateral and such party shall thereupon redistribute such payment
in accordance with the priority of payment set forth in Section 3 hereof.

         (b) Each party may file in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan Party
proofs of claim and other motions and pleadings with respect to its claims and
liens and security interests, if and only if consistent with the terms hereof
and the limitations on such party imposed hereby. Consistent with, but not in
limitation of, the foregoing, each party expressly reserves: (i) its right to
vote in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan Party; (ii) any and all of its
claims or defenses in favor of or in opposition to any plan of reorganization
proposed for any Loan Party in an Insolvency Proceeding; and (iii) any and all
of its claims, rights, powers and/or remedies under any law governing the Loan
Party that any other creditor with security interests and liens in the assets of
the Loan Party would have; provided, however, each party expressly agrees that
it shall exercise all of such claims, rights, powers, and or remedies in a
manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement
and that it shall not exercise (and it shall be expressly prohibited from
exercising) any such claims, rights (including, without limitation, any right to
vote its claim to accept or reject any plan of reorganization for any Loan
Party), powers, and/or remedies in a manner that is intended to deprive or that
has the likely effect of depriving other parties of the benefits of this
Intercreditor Agreement (and any such exercise shall be deemed to be null and
void). Each party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this
Intercreditor Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 11(b)) in an
Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan Party. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no party shall have the right to waive or fail to assert its claims
or to support a plan of reorganization that provides for a priority of
distribution that is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 3 hereof in an
Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan Party. In the event that Working Capital Agent
reasonably determines that any member of the Secured Loan Lender Group may be on
the verge of taking any action (or failing to take any action) prohibited by the
terms of this Intercreditor Agreement in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan
Party, the Working Capital Agent shall be deemed to be the assignee (and thus
the holder) of said claim and shall have the right to assert and vote (including
pursuant to a deemed power of attorney) such claim in the Insolvency Proceeding
of any Loan Party, including through the filing of a proof of claim therein
and/or casting ballots in connection with any proposed plan of reorganization
for any Loan Party.

         (c) Each party hereto agrees that this Intercreditor Agreement shall be
enforceable against it before, during, and after any Insolvency Proceeding of
any Loan Party. All references to any Loan Party shall include such Loan Party
as debtor in possession in any Insolvency Proceeding and any receiver, trustee,
provisional liquidator, or other estate representative for any Loan Party in any
Insolvency Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the foregoing,
each party agrees and acknowledges that this Intercreditor Agreement constitutes
a "subordination agreement" within the meaning of both Illinois law and Section
510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

         12. Invalidated Payments. If any party (the "Affected Party") remits
proceeds of Collateral pursuant to this Intercreditor Agreement to another party
(the "Non-Affected Party"), and any portion of the amount paid by the Affected
Party to the Non-Affected Party (such

                                       12

<PAGE>

portion being the "Returned Amount") is subsequently required to be returned or
repaid by the Affected Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
because it was prohibited by applicable law, voidable under any insolvency law
(including the Bankruptcy Code) or in violation of the rights of any other
creditor of any Loan Party when made, then the Non-Affected Party shall
forthwith upon its receipt of a notice thereof from the Affected Party, pay the
Affected Party an amount equal to the Returned Amount together with all interest
thereon required to be paid by the Affected Party in connection with the return
or repayment of the Returned Amount. The Working Capital Obligations and/or the
Secured Loan Obligations, as appropriate, automatically shall be reinstated for
the purposes of this Intercreditor Agreement to the extent of the Returned
Amount.

         13. Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing agreement and is
applicable to all of the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
until the Working Capital Obligations (to the extent of the priority set forth
in clause (a) of Section 3 hereof) and the Secured Loan Obligations shall have
been irrevocably paid in full.

         14. Grant of Security Interest. If any Loan Party grants a lien or
security interest in the Collateral to the Working Capital Agent or the Secured
Loan Agent, such grant shall not constitute a default or breach of warranty
under any instrument or agreement with the Secured Loan Banks or the Working
Capital Lenders, notwithstanding any provision of any such instrument or
agreement to the contrary.

         15. The Agents.

         (a) The Secured Loan Banks acknowledge (or shall be deemed to have
acknowledged as a result of the execution and delivery of this Intercreditor
Agreement by the Supermajority Secured Loan Creditors Banks): (a) that the
Secured Loan Agent, U.S. Security Trustee, and the U.K. Security Trustee are
authorized to execute and deliver this Intercreditor Agreement and (b) that the
provisions of Section 10 of the Secured Loan Agreement (including, without
limitation, Sections 10.3 and 10.7 of the Secured Loan Agreement) are applicable
to this Intercreditor Agreement in every respect. Consistent with, but not in
limitation of, the foregoing, each Secured Loan Bank agrees (or shall be deemed
to have agreed as a result of the execution and delivery of this Intercreditor
Agreement by the Supermajority Secured Loan Creditors) that the provisions of
Section 10 of the Secured Loan Agreement apply to the Secured Loan Agent's
execution, delivery and other participation in this Intercreditor Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby, and the Secured Loan Agent shall have the
full benefit thereof, as if all of Section 10 of the Secured Loan Agreement were
set forth and restated herein.

         (b) The Working Capital Lenders acknowledge: (a) that each of the
Working Capital Agent, the Working Capital US Collateral Agent, and the Working
Capital UK Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver this
Intercreditor Agreement and (b) that the provisions of Section 14 of the Working
Capital Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 14.3 and 14.7
of the Working Capital Credit Agreement) are applicable to this Intercreditor
Agreement in every respect. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the
foregoing, each Working Capital Lender agrees that the provisions of Section 14
of the Working Capital Credit Agreement apply to the execution, delivery and
other participation in this Intercreditor Agreement by each of the Working
Capital Agent, the Working Capital US Collateral Agent, and

                                       13

<PAGE>

the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent and the transactions contemplated
thereby, and each of the Working Capital Agent, the Working Capital US
Collateral Agent, and the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent shall have the
full benefit thereof, as if all of Section 14 of the Working Capital Credit
Agreement were set forth and restated herein.

         16. Conflicts Among Agreements/No Impairment of Obligations. This
Intercreditor Agreement shall control in the event of a conflict with the
Working Capital Credit Agreement, the Secured Loan Agreement or any Collateral
Document, it being understood that the provisions of Section 8.1 of the Working
Capital Credit Agreement (or any similar successor provision) are intended to
govern distributions among the Working Capital Lender Group and that
accordingly, there can be no conflict between the provisions of Section 8.1 of
the Working Capital Credit Agreement (or any similar successor provision) and
the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement as to the intercreditor
relationship among such Working Capital Lenders. Otherwise, any such other
agreement shall be unaffected by the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement,
the Secured Loan Lender Group shall not be or constitute general third party
beneficiaries of the Working Capital Credit Agreement (and related documents)
and the Working Capital Lender Group shall not be or constitute general third
party beneficiaries of the Secured Loan Agreement (and related documents).
Specifically, the Secured Loan Lender Group and the Working Capital Lender Group
each will be entitled to manage and supervise its respective credit transactions
and relationships with the Loan Parties in accordance with the provisions of its
documents and applicable law and as they otherwise determine to be appropriate,
all without regard to the provisions of the other's agreements with the Loan
Parties, subject, however, in all cases to the terms and conditions of this
Intercreditor Agreement. Consistent with, but not in limitation of the preceding
two sentences, nothing contained in this Intercreditor Agreement shall impair,
as between any Loan Party, on the one hand, and any of the Senior Lenders, on
the other hand, the obligation of any Loan Party to make any payments of
principal of, and interest on, the Working Capital Obligations or the Secured
Loan Obligations, as the case may be, pursuant to the provisions of the
pertinent agreement (as expressly limited hereby).

         17. Reliance. The Working Capital Credit Agreement and the Collateral
Documents shall be deemed to be executed and delivered in reliance upon this
Intercreditor Agreement. Each party expressly waives all notice of the
acceptance of and reliance on this Intercreditor Agreement by any of the other
parties.

         18. No Warranties or Liability. The Working Capital Lender Group and
the Secured Loan Lender Group acknowledge and agree that none of them has made
any representation or warranty to the others, including, without limitation, any
representation or warranty with respect to: (a) the validity, legality,
completeness, collectability, or enforceability of the Working Capital Credit
Agreement, the Secured Loan Agreement and/or the Collateral Documents, (b) the
attachment, validity, legality, perfection, priority, completeness, or
enforceability of any security interest or lien in, to, and/or on any of the
Collateral, and/or (c) the sufficiency or the value, fair market or otherwise,
of any of the Collateral.

         19. Intercreditor Agreement Creates No Fiduciary Relationship;
Limitation of Liability. This Intercreditor Agreement shall not create any
fiduciary relationship among the parties except solely to the extent of the
funds to be held in trust pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

                                       14

<PAGE>

None of the US Security Trustee, the UK Security Trustee and the Secured Loan
Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents shall be
responsible, directly or indirectly, to any of the Working Capital Lender Group
for any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder or otherwise, nor shall
they be liable or responsible for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by any of
the Secured Loan Lender Group or the Working Capital Lender Group, except solely
for any such loss, cost or expense caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Secured Loan Agent, the US Security Trustee or the UK Security
Trustee. None of the Working Capital Agent, the Working Capital US Collateral
Agent and the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent and their respective officers,
directors, employees, and agents shall be responsible, directly or indirectly,
to any of the Secured Loan Lender Group for any action taken or omitted to be
taken hereunder or otherwise, nor shall they be liable or responsible for any
loss, cost, or expense incurred by any of the Secured Loan Lender Group or the
Working Capital Lender Group, except solely for any such loss, cost or expense
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Working Capital
Agent, the Working Capital US Collateral Agent and the Working Capital UK
Collateral Agent.

         20. Calculations. For the purpose of calculating Pro Rata Share, all
obligations or commitments shall be stated in U.S. dollars. Any such obligations
or commitments not stated in U.S. dollars shall be converted to U.S. dollars at
the rate of exchange that the Working Capital Agent could in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase US dollars with such currency on the
preceding Business Day. For the purposes of allocations pursuant to Section 3
hereof, exchange rates shall be determined as of the date of each allocation and
distribution of such Net Proceeds of Collateral.

         21. Judgment. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court,
it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another
currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Working Capital Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which
final judgment is given. The obligation of any party in respect of any such sum
due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the
"Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement (the
"Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
following receipt by the applicable party of any sum adjudged to be so due in
the Judgment Currency, the Working Capital Agent may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.
If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum
originally due to the applicable party in the Agreement Currency, the parties
agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Working Capital Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was
owing against such loss.

         22. Assigns. Subject to any limitation on assignment set forth in the
Secured Loan Agreement or the Working Capital Credit Agreement (as the case may
be), the terms and provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and
assigns.

         23. Severability. Any provision of this Intercreditor Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such

                                       15

<PAGE>

prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         24. Amendment and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
Intercreditor Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Working Capital Lenders (via the consent of the Majority
Working Capital Lenders) and the Secured Loan Banks (via the consent of the
Supermajority Secured Loan Creditors). No waiver of any provision of this
Intercreditor Agreement, and no consent with respect to any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Working Capital Lenders (via the consent of the Majority Working
Capital Lenders), and the Secured Loan Banks (via the consent of the
Supermajority Secured Loan Creditors) or if such waiver or consent relates to
the rights, the benefit and interest of only the Working Capital Lender Group or
the Secured Loan Lender Group, as the case may be, then such waiver or consent
shall not be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
party sought to be bound thereby (via the consent of the Majority Working
Capital Lenders in the case of the Working Capital Lenders and of the
Supermajority Secured Loan Creditors in the case of the Secured Loan Banks).
Moreover, in each and every instance, any waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was
given.

         25. No Prejudice/No Implicit Waiver. No party to this Intercreditor
Agreement shall be prejudiced in its rights under this Intercreditor Agreement
by any act or failure to act of any party hereto or any noncompliance by any
party hereto with any agreement or obligation, regardless of any knowledge
thereof which such party may have or with which such party may be charged; and
no action of any party hereto permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or
impair the respective rights and obligations of any party under this
Intercreditor Agreement. No delay on the part of any party hereto in the
exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single
or partial exercise by any party hereto of any right or remedy shall preclude
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

         26. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Intercreditor Agreement and the
rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their successors and assigns, subject to Section 22 hereof, and no other Person
(including, without limitation, any Loan Party, whether as debtor in possession
or otherwise in any Insolvency Proceeding, and any trustee for the estate
created by the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding) shall have or be
entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder.

         27. Information Concerning Financial Condition of any Loan Party. Each
party hereto hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of: (a)
the financial condition of any Loan Party (and, to the extent relevant, any of
their affiliates) and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the obligations owing to such party. The Secured Loan Lender Group
and the Working Capital Lender Group agree that none of them shall have any duty
to advise the other group (or any of its members) of any information known to it
(or any of its members) regarding such condition or circumstances. In the event
any of the Secured Loan Lender Group (or any of its members) or the Working
Capital Lender Group (or any of its members), in its sole discretion, undertakes
at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other
group (or any of its members), it shall be under no obligation

                                       16

<PAGE>

(a) to provide any such information to any such other group (or any of its
members) or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any
investigation, or (c) to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or
reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain
confidential.

         28. RESERVED.

         29. Property: Delivery of Documents of Title.

         The Working Capital UK Collateral Agent, the Working Capital US
Collateral Agent, the UK Security Trustee, the Secured Loan Agent, and the US
Security Trustee shall allow each other and their authorized representatives
access at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to all such deeds,
certificates and other documents of title as are held by the Working Capital UK
Collateral Agent, the Working Capital US Collateral Agent, the Secured Loan
Agent, the UK Security Trustee or the US Security Trustee, as the case may be.

         30. Note of Debenture. In the case of any property secured by the
Working Capital Debenture and the Debentures, title to which is, or will be,
registered under the Land Registration Acts 1925 to 1988, the pertinent Loan
Party shall make, or consent to the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent and the
UK Security Trustee or any of their agents making, an application to the H.M.
Chief Land Registrar in respect of the entry of a Notice of the Debentures and
the Working Capital Debenture (as well as any equivalent security provided in
favor of the Working Capital Lenders) on the Charges Register of such property,
requesting that it be noted on the relevant register that it is intended that
the security created by the Debentures should rank pari passu and a restriction
in terms set out in clause 4.4 of both the Debentures and the Working Capital
Debenture (and any such equivalent security).

         31. Book Debts. The Working Capital UK Collateral Agent, the Working
Capital US Collateral Agent, the UK Security Trustee and the US Security Trustee
hereby direct each UK Guarantor of the Working Capital Obligations and the
Secured Borrower and each Guarantor whose book debts are subject to the
Debentures or the Working Capital Debenture that, in the event of any
inconsistency between the instructions provided in the Debentures or the Working
Capital Debenture, all Debts (as defined therein) which are to be paid into a
specified bank account shall be paid into such interest bearing account(s) with
RBS or National Westminster (as are designated by RBS for such purpose) and
that, pending such payment, all such Debts shall be held upon trust for the
Working Capital UK Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee (although such
expressed priority shall not, as between the parties to this Agreement, in any
way alter the priorities elsewhere in this Agreement) and dealt with on the
instructions of the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent and the UK Security
Trustee, which instructions shall have regard to any restrictions contained in
the Debentures and the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement.

         32. Notices to Insurers and Notices of Assignment.

         (a) If any notice is required to be given to any party under the terms
of the Collateral Documents, whether for the purpose of perfecting security or
for any other reason, the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent, the Working
Capital US Collateral Agent, the UK Security

                                       17

<PAGE>

Trustee, the Secured Loan Agent, and the US Security Trustee shall, if both are
entitled to give such notice under the Collateral Documents, either coordinate
the giving of such notices or, if the UK Security Trustee considers, on the
basis of appropriate professional advice, that giving more than one competing
notice may reasonably be expected to prejudice the interests of the Secured Loan
Banks and/or the Working Capital Lenders, expressly provide in such notices that
the provisions of one notice take priority over the provisions contained in the
second.

         (b) In assessing which notice shall take priority, the Working Capital
UK Collateral Agent, the Working Capital US Collateral Agent, the UK Security
Trustee and the US Security Trustee shall have regard to the following
provisions:

             (i)  If the notice is to be given to a UK entity pursuant to a
                  Debenture or the Working Capital Debenture, the notice
                  provided by the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent or UK
                  Security Trustee shall be expressed to take priority over
                  the notice provided by the Working Capital US Collateral
                  Agent or the US Security Trustee (although such expressed
                  priority shall not, as between the parties to this
                  Intercreditor Agreement, in any way alter the priorities
                  specified elsewhere in this Intercreditor Agreement); and

             (ii) If the notice is to be given to a US entity pursuant to a
                  Security Agreement, the notice provided by the Working
                  Capital US Collateral Agent or the US Security Trustee shall
                  be expressed to take priority over the notice provided by
                  the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent or UK Security
                  Trustee (although such expressed priority shall not, as
                  between the parties to this Intercreditor Agreement, in any
                  way alter the priorities specified elsewhere in this
                  Intercreditor Agreement).

         33. Charged Share Certificates and Instruments of Transfer.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Intercreditor Agreement to the
contrary, the Working Capital US Agent and the US Security Trustee shall be
entitled to hold and retain all of the Charged Shares (as defined in the
Debentures and the Working Capital Debenture) or the certificates or documents
of title to or representing the same together with any instrument of transfer or
assignment of such Charged Shares, duly executed by the relevant Loan Party in
whose name any of such Charged Shares are registered or held, with the name of
the transferee or assignee, the consideration and the date left blank. The US
Security Trustee and the Working Capital US Collateral Agent shall allow the UK
Security Trustee and the Working Capital UK Collateral Agent and its authorized
representatives access at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to all such
certificates or documents of title or instruments of transfer or assignment as
are held by the Working Capital US Agent and the US Security Trustee in respect
of such Charged Shares.

         34. Counterparts. This Intercreditor Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one
agreement, and either of the parties hereto may execute this Intercreditor
Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

         35. Interpretation. The headings preceding the text of Sections
included in this Intercreditor Agreement and the headings to Schedules attached
to this Intercreditor Agreement

be), and reference to a person or entity in a particular capacity excludes such

unless otherwise identified, refer to the appropriate clause within the same
Section in which such reference occurs. The use of the terms "hereunder",
"hereof", "hereto" and words of similar import shall refer to this Intercreditor
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or clause of or Exhibit
or Schedule to this Intercreditor Agreement. All terms defined in this
Intercreditor Agreement shall have the above-defined meanings when used in any
certificate, report or other document made or delivered pursuant to this
Intercreditor Agreement, unless the context therein shall clearly otherwise
require. In the computation of periods of time in this Intercreditor Agreement
from a specified date to a later specified date, the word "from" means "from and
including" and the words "to" and "until" each means "to and through". This
Intercreditor Agreement and the other documents relating to this Intercreditor
Agreement are the result of negotiations among and have been reviewed by counsel
to the Secured Loan Agent, the Working Capital Agent and certain of the other
parties, and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, they shall not be
construed against any party merely because of such party's involvement in their
preparation.

         36. Notices.

         (a) All notices, requests, consents, approvals, waivers and other
communications shall be in writing (including, unless the context expressly
otherwise provides, by facsimile transmission, provided that any matter
transmitted by facsimile (i) shall be immediately confirmed by a telephone call
to the recipient at the number specified on Schedule II, and (ii) shall be
followed promptly by delivery of a hard copy original thereof) and mailed, faxed
or delivered, to the address or facsimile number specified for notices on
Schedule II; or, to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to the other parties, and as directed to any other party, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the
other parties.

         (b) All such notices, requests and communications shall, when
transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered for
overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by facsimile
machine, respectively, or if mailed, upon the third Business Day after the date
deposited into the U.S. mail, or if delivered, upon delivery.

         37. Amendment and Restatement of and Effect of this Agreement on
Existing Intercreditor Agreement. As set forth in the Recitals hereof, this
Intercreditor Agreement (including as it may be subsequently amended, restated
or otherwise modified at any time pursuant to the provisions hereof) is intended
by the parties to amend, restate, and supersede the Existing Intercreditor
Agreement and, from and after the date hereof, to govern for all purposes the
relationship of the parties with regard to the matters set forth herein.

         38. Enforcement.

         (a) Each of the US Security Trustee, the UK Security Trustee, and the
Secured Loan Agent shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 38
(including, without limitation, the proviso contained in paragraph (b) below),
provide the Working Capital Agent, any of the Working Capital Collateral Agents
and/or the Working Capital Lenders, with such assistance as they may reasonably
require in relation to the Enforcement of their Collateral located in the United
Kingdom or any other non-U.S. jurisdiction. In particular, having regard to the
fact that the Collateral for the Secured Loan Obligations was created prior to
the Collateral for the Working Capital Obligations, the US Security Trustee, the
UK Security Trustee, the Secured Loan Agent and the Senior Lenders, if requested
to do so by the Working Capital Agent, any of the Working Capital Collateral
Agents and/or the Working Capital Lenders, but subject to the provisions of this
Section 38 (including, without limitation, subsection (b) hereof), shall take
such Enforcement actions as they are permitted to take under the Collateral
Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
rendering such assistance none of the US Security Trustee, the UK Security
Trustee or the Secured Loan Agent shall be obligated to take any action that in
its reasonable judgment will subject any of the Secured Loan Lender Group to the
loss of any of their economic or legal rights in the subject Collateral
(including, without limitation, none of the Working Capital Agent, the Working
Capital Collateral Agents, or the Working Capital Lenders shall have the right
to compel any such entity to release any security interest or lien in favor of
the Secured Loan Lender Group); provided, however, that, where the receiver has
been appointed by the US Security Trustee, the UK Security Trustee or the
Secured Loan Agent at the request of the Working Capital Agent, any of the
Working Capital Collateral Agent, and/or the Working Capital Lenders in
connection with an Enforcement by the Working Capital Lender Group and the
receiver proceeds to dispose of any of such non-U.S. Collateral via sale, the
former such entities shall release security interests and liens necessary to
facilitate such sale so long as the Secured Loan Banks (by the percentages set
forth in Section 7 hereof) have concluded, in their reasonable discretion, that
the receiver has complied with all of the receiver's legal obligations in
connection with such sale and that such disposition is for fair consideration.

         (b) In addition to (and without limiting in any manner) any other
indemnification rights to which any of them may otherwise be entitled under any
other loan or collateral document, the US Security Trustee, the UK Security
Trustee and/or the Secured Loan Agent shall not be required to take any action
in accordance with paragraph (a) above that is reasonably likely to result in
any of them incurring any cost or liability (other than in respect of internal
management time) unless they are first indemnified to their reasonable
satisfaction in respect of any identified potential liability or cost arising
from the requested action.

RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH AGREE
THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A
JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO

TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
