2        COVENANT TO PAY

2.1      The Mortgagor hereby covenants with the Trustee as trustee for the

2.2      All payments to be made under this Memorandum by the Mortgagor shall be
         made free and clear of and without deduction for taxes, levies,

         the Mortgagor shall at any time be compelled by law to deduct or
         withhold any amount from any payment to be made hereunder the Mortgagor
         will concurrently pay to the Trustee such additional amount as will
         result in payment to the Trustee of the full amount which would have
         been received if such deduction or withholding had not been made.

3        INTEREST

         If the Mortgagor fails to pay any sum on the due date for payment of
         that sum the Mortgagor shall pay interest on any such sum (before and

         otherwise being paid on such sum) from the date of demand until the
         date of payment calculated on a daily basis at the rate determined in
         accordance with the provisions of clause 18.4 (Interest on Demands) of
         the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed.

4        DEPOSIT OF SHARES AND CREATION OF CHARGE

         Derivative Assets and Dividends) as a continuing security for the due
         payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations.

4.3      The Mortgagor as legal owner only hereby charges unto the Trustee as

         at any time to cause all or any of the Secured Assets to be registered

         title relating to such Derivative Assets and, within 10 Business Days
         after any such accrual, offer or issue, deliver to or to the order of
         the Trustee or any such Delegate transfer form(s) relating to same

         blank, but otherwise duly completed) duly executed by each person in
         whose name such certificate(s) or other document(s) of title is to the
         intent the Trustee shall hold such Derivative Assets as trustee for the
         Secured Creditors as security for the Secured Obligations and such
         Derivative Assets shall be subject to the provisions of this Memorandum
         in all respects as if they formed part of the Shares.

6        DIVIDENDS AND OTHER MONIES

6.1      All Dividends and other monies forming part of the Secured Assets
         (whether of the nature of capital or income) shall, as long as no

         retained by the Mortgagor and any such Dividends and other such monies
         which may be received by the Mortgagor shall, following the occurrence
         of an Enforcement Event which is continuing, be held in trust for the
         Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled at any time following the

         Dividends and other such monies in or towards the reduction or
         discharge of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions
         of the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed. The Mortgagor shall,
         following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event (which is continuing),
         promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered)
         all such mandates or other authorities as the Trustee may require for
         the purpose of enabling the Trustee to receive all Dividends and other
         such monies.

<PAGE>

6.2      The Trustee shall have no duty to ensure that any Dividends or other
         monies forming part of the Secured Assets (whether of the nature of
         capital or income) are duly and punctually paid, received or collected
         or to ensure that the correct amounts (if any) are paid.

7        PROVISO FOR REDEMPTION

7.1      The Trustee shall, at the cost of the Mortgagor, release and cancel the
         security constituted by this Memorandum and procure the reassignment to
         the Mortgagors of the property and assets assigned to the Trustee
         pursuant to this Memorandum in accordance with the terms and subject to
         the conditions and circumstances set out in the Security Trust and
         Intercreditor Deed, and without recourse to, or any representation or
         warranty by, the Trustee or any of its nominees.

7.2      A release or discharge of the Secured Assets or any of them from the
         security hereby evidenced or created may be executed by the Trustee
         alone and any such release shall be effective as if all the Secured
         Creditors had executed the same and shall be effected in accordance
         with the terms and subject to the conditions and warranties set out in
         the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed.

         8.1.2    exercise all voting rights in relation to the Shares provided
                  that the Mortgagor shall not exercise such voting rights in

                  Default under the Indentures (as such terms are defined in the
                  Indentures).

8.2      After Enforcement Event

         The Trustee may, upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and at any
         time thereafter while such Enforcement Event is continuing, (in the
         name of the Mortgagor or otherwise and without any further consent or
         authority from the Mortgagor):

         If the Trustee or any Secured Creditor shall at any time receive notice

         may be) received such notice all payments made by the Mortgagor to the
         Trustee or that Secured Creditor (as the case may be) shall be treated
         as having been credited to such new account of the Mortgagor and not as

         Creditor (as the case may be).

         suffered or incurred as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the
         rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert such Sum from the

         exchange available to the Trustee at the time of such receipt of such
         Sum.

         Secured Obligations. No other mortgage charge pledge lien or other

         or his powers.

22.2     Each of the Trustee and any receiver shall have full power to delegate
         the power conferred on it or him by this clause 22 but no such

         any amount or other obligation (contingent or otherwise) owing by the
         Trustee to the Mortgagor.
