Ladies and Gentlemen:

     PTC International Finance II S.A., a company with limited liability
incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg (the "Issuer"), PTC International
Finance (Holding) B.V. ("Holdings"), a company incorporated under the laws of
The Netherlands and Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa Sp. z o.o., a limited liability
company under the laws of the Republic of Poland (the "Guarantor"), pursuant to
this agreement (the "Agreement") each hereby confirm their agreement with
Merrill Lynch International and Salomon Brothers International Limited
(collectively, the "Initial Purchasers", which term shall also include any
initial purchaser substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 11 hereof),
with respect to the issue and sale by the Issuer and the purchase by the Initial
Purchasers (the "Offering"), acting severally and not jointly, of the respective
principal amounts set forth in Schedule A hereto of *300,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Issuer's 11 1/4 % Senior Subordinated Guaranteed Notes
due 2009 (the "Euro Notes") and of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
the Issuer's 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Guaranteed Notes due 2009 (the "Dollar
Notes" and, along with the Euro Notes, the "Notes"). The Euro Notes are to be
issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 23, 1999 (the "Euro Notes
Indenture") among the Issuer, the Guarantor, Holdings and State Street Bank and
Trust Company, as trustee (the "Euro Notes Trustee"), and the Dollar Notes are
to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 23, 1999 (the "Dollar
Notes Indenture" and, along with the Euro Notes Indenture, the "Indentures")
among the Issuer, the Guarantor, Holdings and State Street Bank and Trust
Company, as trustee (the "Dollar Notes Trustee" and, together with the Euro
Notes Trustee, the "Trustees"). The obligations of the Issuer under the Euro
Notes Indenture and the Euro Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed
pursuant to a guarantee (the "Euro Notes Guarantee") made by the Guarantor. The
obligations of the Issuer under the Dollar Notes Indenture and the Dollar Notes
will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed pursuant to a guarantee (the
"Dollar Notes Guarantee", and, together with the Euro Notes Guarantee, the
"Guarantees") made by the Guarantor. Notes issued in book-entry form pursuant to
Rule 144A (as defined below) and Dollar Notes issued in book-entry
<PAGE>   6

form pursuant to Regulation S (as defined below) will be deposited with the
relevant Trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of Cede & Company
as nominee of, The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") pursuant to a letter
agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Time (as defined in Section 2(b)
hereof) (the "DTC Agreement"), among the Issuer, the Guarantor, the relevant
Trustee and DTC. Euro Notes issued in book-entry form pursuant to Regulation S
will be deposited with the relevant Trustee as common depositary for, and
registered in the name of a nominee of, Euroclear and Cedelbank.

     The holders of Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a Registration
Rights Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and A-1
with such changes as shall be agreed to by the parties hereto (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer and the Guarantor will agree to
file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registering the
Notes or the Exchange Notes referred to in the Registration Rights Agreement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

     Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Notes, Holdings will
deposit in accounts (the "Escrow Accounts") pursuant to escrow agreements (the
"Escrow Agreements"), each to be entered into by Holdings in favor of the
relevant Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the relevant Notes, an amount
in cash, European government securities or U.S. government securities that,
together with the interest received thereon, will be sufficient to pay when due
the first five interest payments on the Notes. The Notes will be secured by a
first priority security interest in the Escrow Accounts granted pursuant to
security agreements (the "Security Agreements") each made by Holdings in favour
of State Street Bank and Trust Company as collateral agent (the "Collateral
Agent") for the benefit of the Euro Notes Trustee or the Dollar Notes Trustee,
as the case may be. Holdings will also provide guarantees (the "Limited Recourse
Guarantees") of the Issuer's obligations under the Notes, the recourse under
which will be limited to amounts deposited in the Escrow Accounts.

     The Issuer will advance all of the net proceeds from the issue and sale of
the Notes to Holdings who, following its purchase of European government
securities or U.S. government securities as referred to above and/or the deposit
of cash and any such purchased securities in the Escrow Accounts, will advance
the remainder of such net proceeds to the Guarantor. The advances by the Issuer
of such net proceeds to Holdings and by Holdings of the remainder of such net
proceeds to the Guarantor will each be made against the issuance by Holdings and
the Guarantor of intercompany notes.

     The Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings understand that the Initial
Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Notes on the terms and in the
manner set forth herein and in reliance upon an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and agree that the Initial Purchasers may
resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the
Notes to purchasers ("Subsequent Purchasers") at any time on or after the date
of this Agreement. The Notes are to be offered and sold to the Initial
Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon
exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Indentures,
investors that acquire Notes may only resell or otherwise transfer such Notes if
such Notes are hereafter registered under the Securities Act or if an exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including
the exemption afforded by Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") or Regulation S ("Regulation
S") of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act by the
Commission).

     The Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings have prepared and delivered to each
Initial Purchaser copies of a preliminary offering memorandum dated November 1,
1999 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum") and have prepared and will deliver
to each Initial Purchaser promptly upon its being completed copies of a final
offering memorandum dated November 16, 1999 (the "Final Offering Memorandum"),
each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of
purchases of, or Offering of, the Notes. "Offering Memorandum" means, with
respect to any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most recent
offering memorandum (whether the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final
Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement to either such document),
which has been prepared and delivered by the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings
to the Initial Purchasers in connection with their solicitation of purchases of,
or the Offering of, the Notes.

     SECTION 1.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     (a)  Representations and Warranties of the Issuer, the Guarantor and
Holdings.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings jointly and severally
represents and warrants to each Initial Purchaser as of the date hereof and as
of the Closing Time referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with each
Initial Purchaser, as follows:

     (i)       Similar Offerings.  The Guarantor and its affiliates, as such
               term is defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the
               Securities Act ("Affiliates"), have not, directly or indirectly,
               solicited any offer to buy, sold or offered to sell or otherwise
               negotiated in respect of, and will not, directly or indirectly,
               solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell or otherwise negotiate
               in respect of, in the United States or to any United States
               citizen or resident, any security which is or would be integrated
               with the sale of the Notes in a manner that would require the
               Notes to be registered under the Securities Act.

     (ii)      Offering Memorandum.  The Offering Memorandum does not, and at
               the Closing Time will not, contain any untrue statement of a
               material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
               stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
               therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
               made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty
               and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from
               the Offering Memorandum made in reliance upon and in conformity
               with information furnished to the Issuer, the Guarantor or
               Holdings in writing by any Initial Purchaser expressly for use in
               the Offering Memorandum.

     (iii)      Independent Accountants.  The accountants who certified the
                financial statements and supporting schedules thereto included
                in the Offering Memorandum are independent certified public
                accountants with respect to the Guarantor, Holdings and the
                Issuer (Holdings, PTC International Finance B.V. and the Issuer
                each being a "Subsidiary" and collectively the "Subsidiaries")
                within rule 101 of the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct and
                its interpretations and rulings.

     (iv)      Financial Statements.  The financial statements, together with
               the related schedules and notes, included in the Offering
               Memorandum present fairly the financial position of the Guarantor
               and the Subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the statement of
               operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Guarantor
               and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified; said
               financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
               International Accounting Standards ("IAS") applied on a
               consistent basis throughout the periods involved. The selected

               transactions entered into by the Guarantor or any of the

               the Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, and (C) there has
               been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or

              qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or
              leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the
              failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not result
              in a Material Adverse Effect. The Issuer has no subsidiaries, and
              is the only subsidiary of Holdings. Holdings and PTC International
              Finance B.V. are the only subsidiaries of the Guarantor. The

              convertible into or exchangeable for, or warrants, rights or

              as otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, all of the
              issued shares of each Subsidiary are owned directly or indirectly

             might reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
             Effect, or which might reasonably be expected to adversely affect
             the properties or assets of the Guarantor or any of the
             Subsidiaries in a manner that is material and adverse to the
             Guarantor and the Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise or the

             procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names or other
             intellectual property (collectively, "Intellectual Property")
             necessary to carry on the business now operated by them, and
             neither the Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any
             notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict
             with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual
             Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any
             Intellectual Property
<PAGE>   11

          invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Guarantor or any
          of the Subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if
          the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or
          invalidity or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate, would result in
          a Material Adverse Effect.

              Holdings of their respective obligations hereunder, in connection
              with the offering, issuance or sale of the Notes hereunder or the
              consummation of the Offering or any of the other transactions
              contemplated by this Agreement, the Indentures, the Escrow
              Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Security
              Agreements, the Guarantees, the Limited Recourse Guarantees or the
              Offering Memorandum, or (B) to permit the Issuer, the Guarantor or

              other obligations under the Indentures.

     (xxiii)  Possession of Licenses and Permits.  The Guarantor and the
              Subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals,
              concessions, consents and other authorizations (including, without
              limitation, all permits required for the operation of the business
              of the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries by the Republic of Poland)
              (collectively, "Governmental Licenses") issued by the appropriate
              federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies,
              other governmental authorities or self regulatory organizations
              necessary to conduct the business now operated by them except for
              such Governmental Licenses the failure of which to obtain,
              maintain or possess by the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries would
              not have a Material Adverse Effect; the Guarantor and the
              Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of
              all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to so
              comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material
              Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in
              full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such
              Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses
              to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse
              Effect; and neither the Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries has
              received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
              modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in
              the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling
              or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

             marketable title to all real property owned by the Guarantor or the
             Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and good title to all other

             mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, claims, restrictions
             or encumbrances of any kind except such as (A) are described in the
             Offering Memorandum or (B) do not, singly or in the aggregate,
             materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere
             with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the
             Guarantor or any of the Subsidiaries; and all of the leases and
             subleases material to the business of the Guarantor and the
             Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the
             Guarantor or any of the Subsidiaries holds properties described in
             the Offering Memorandum, are in full force and effect, and neither
             the Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries has any notice of any
             material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse
             to the rights of the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiaries under any
             of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or
             questioning the rights of such Guarantor or any Subsidiary to the

             Memorandum, under current laws and regulations (and interpretations
             thereof) of the Republic of Poland, The Netherlands and Luxembourg
             and any political subdivision thereof, all payments due or made on
             the Guarantees or the Limited Recourse Guarantees to holders of

             Netherlands and do not have a branch, agency or permanent
             establishment nor carry on any trade in the Republic of Poland,

          taxes under laws and regulations of the Republic of Poland, Luxembourg
          or The Netherlands or any political subdivision or taxing authority
          thereof or therein and will otherwise be free and clear of any other
          tax, duty, withholding or deduction in the Republic of Poland,
          Luxembourg and The Netherlands or any political subdivision or taxing
          authority thereof or therein or without the necessity of obtaining any
          governmental authorization in the Republic of Poland, Luxembourg and
          The Netherlands or any political subdivision or taxing authority
          thereof or therein.

     (xxvi)  Tax Returns.  All income and franchise tax returns of the Guarantor
             and any of the Subsidiaries, required to be filed by the applicable
             laws of Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Poland and any other
             jurisdiction in which the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries conduct
             their business have been filed and all material taxes shown by such
             returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been
             paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be
             promptly taken and as to which adequate reserves have been
             provided. Each of the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries has filed all
             other tax returns that are required to have been filed by it
             pursuant to applicable law except insofar as the failure to file
             such returns could not have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid
             all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any
             assessment received by the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries, except
             for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and by
             appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been
             provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the
             Guarantor or any of the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in

             not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or
             re-assessments for additional income tax for any years not finally
             determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not
             have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xxvii) Investment Company Act.  Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor nor
             Holdings is, and upon the issuance and sale of the Notes and the
             issuance of the Guarantees and the Limited Recourse Guarantees as
             herein contemplated and the application of the net proceeds from
             the issuance and sale of the Notes as described in the Offering
             Memorandum will not be, an "investment company" as such terms are
             defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
             "Investment Company Act").

     (xxviii) PFIC Status.  Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor nor Holdings
              believes that it is, nor do any of them expect to become, (A)
              passive foreign investment companies within the meaning of Section
              1296 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
              "Code"), or (B) foreign personal holding companies within the
              meaning of Section 552 of the Code.

             reasonable assurances that (A) transactions are executed in
             accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (B)
             transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
             financial statements in conformity with IAS and to maintain
             accountability of assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in
             accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and
             (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the
             existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is
             taken with respect to any differences.

     (xxx)   No Additional Documents.  There are no contracts or documents of a
             character that would be required to be described in the Offering
             Memorandum, if it were a prospectus filed as part of a registration
             statement on Form F-1 under the Securities Act, that are not
             described as would be so required. All such contracts so described
             in the Offering Memorandum to which the Guarantor or any of the
             Subsidiaries is party have been duly authorized, executed and
             delivered by the Guarantor or the relevant Subsidiary and
             constitute valid and binding agreements of the Guarantor or such
             Subsidiary.

     (xxxi)  Insurance.  The Guarantor and the Subsidiaries have insurance
             covering their respective properties, operations, personnel and
             businesses, which insurance the Guarantor believes to be
             appropriate and is in amounts and insures against such losses or
             risks as are customary in the
<PAGE>   13

          industry in which the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries operate. None of
          the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiaries has received notice from any
          insurer or agent of such insurer that capital improvements or other
          expenditures are required or necessary to be made in order to continue
          such insurance except such notices as are not reasonably likely to
          have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xxxii) Taxes on Subsidiary Indebtedness.  Except as described in the
             Offering Memorandum, as of the date hereof, no material income,
             stamp or other taxes or levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
             compulsory loans or withholdings whatsoever are or will be, under
             applicable law in the Republic of Poland, under applicable law in
             The Netherlands or under applicable law in Luxembourg, imposed,
             assessed, levied or collected by the Republic of Poland, The
             Netherlands or Luxembourg, or any political subdivision or taxing
             authority thereof or therein or on or in respect of principal,
             interest, premiums, penalties or other amounts payable under any
             indebtedness (A) of the Guarantor held by the Issuer pursuant to
             the Guarantees or (B) of Holdings held by the Issuer pursuant to
             the Limited Recourse Guarantees.

     (xxxiii) Rule 144A Eligibility.  The Notes are eligible for resale pursuant
              to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and will not be, at the
              Closing Time, of the same class as securities held on a national
              securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities
              Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or quoted in
              a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

     (xxxiv) General Solicitation.  None of the Issuer, its Affiliates or any
             person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial
             Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and any person acting on
             their behalf, as to whom the Issuer makes no representation) has
             engaged, in connection with the offering of the Notes, in any form
             of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning
             of Rule 502(c) of the Securities Act or in any manner involving a
             public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the
             Securities Act.

     (xxxv)  No Substantial U.S. Market Interest or Directed Selling
             Efforts.  With respect to those Notes sold in reliance on
             Regulation S, (A) neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor nor Holdings
             reasonably believes there is "substantial U.S. market interest" (as
             such term is defined in Regulation S) in the Notes at the
             commencement of the Offering, (B) none of the Issuer, the
             Guarantor, Holdings, their Affiliates or any person acting on its
             or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers and their
             respective Affiliates and anyone acting on their behalf, as to whom
             the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings make no representation) has
             engaged in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in
             Regulation S) in the United States, and (C) each of the Issuer and
             its Affiliates and any person acting on its or their behalf (other
             than the Initial Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and
             anyone acting on their behalf, as to whom the Issuer makes no
             representation) has complied with the offering restrictions
             requirement of Regulation S.

     (xxxvi) No Registration Required.  Subject to compliance by the Initial
             Purchasers with the representations and warranties set forth in
             Section 2 hereof and the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof,
             it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery
             of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers, and to each Subsequent
             Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the
             Offering Memorandum to register the Notes under the Securities Act
             or to qualify the Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
             as amended (the "1939 Act").

     (xxxvii) No Stabilization.  Except as described in the Offering Memorandum,
              none of the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings or any of their
              officers, directors or controlling persons has taken or will take,
              directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might be
              reasonably expected to, cause or result in stabilization or
              manipulation of the price of the Notes to facilitate the sale or
              resale of the Notes.

     (xxxviii) Forward-Looking Statement.  No forward-looking statement (within
               the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E
               of the Exchange Act) contained in the Preliminary Offering
               Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum has been made or reaffirmed
               without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in
               good faith.
<PAGE>   14

     (xxxix) Luxembourg Listing.  Application has been made to list the Notes on
             the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and, in connection therewith, the
             Issuer has caused to be prepared and submitted to the Luxembourg
             Stock Exchange a listing application with respect to the Notes (the
             "Listing Application"). The Listing Application (A) complies in all
             material respects with the requirements of the Luxembourg Stock
             Exchange and (B) has been submitted to the Luxembourg Stock
             Exchange. There is no requirement of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
             to deliver any document other than the Offering Memorandum to
             prospective purchasers or purchasers of Notes from the Initial
             Purchasers in connection with the offer and sale by the Initial
             Purchasers of the Notes.

     (x1)    Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and
             Holdings has the power to submit, and pursuant to this Agreement,
             the Indentures, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow
             Agreement, the Security Agreements, the Guarantees, the Limited
             Recourse Guarantees and the Notes, as applicable, has legally,
             validly, effectively and irrevocably submitted to the non-
             exclusive jurisdiction of the New York courts and has validly and
             irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System as its authorized agent
             for the purpose described in Section 14.09 of each of the
             Indentures.

     (xli)   No Liquidation.  No proceedings have been commenced for the
             purposes of, and no judgment has been rendered for, the
             liquidation, bankruptcy or winding-up of the Guarantor or any of
             the Subsidiaries.

     (xlii)   Offering Material.  The Issuer has not distributed and, prior to
              the later to occur of (A) the Closing Time and (B) completion of
              the distribution of the Notes, will not distribute any offering
              material in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes
              other than the Offering Memorandum, any preliminary Offering
              Memorandum, or other materials, if any, permitted by the
              Securities Act and approved by the Initial Purchasers.

     (xliii)  Year 2000.  The Guarantor has reviewed its operations and that of
              the Subsidiaries to evaluate the extent to which their respective
              businesses or operations will be affected by the Year 2000
              Problem. The Year 2000 problem means any significant risk that
              computer hardware or software applications used by the Guarantor
              and the Subsidiaries will not, in the case of dates or time
              periods occurring after December 31, 1999, function at least as
              effectively as in the case of dates or time periods occurring
              prior to January 1, 2000. As a result of such review, (A) the
              Guarantor has no reason to believe, and does not believe, that (1)
              there are any issues related to their preparedness to address the
              Year 2000 Problem that are of a character required to be described
              or referred to in the Offering Memorandum which have not been
              accurately described in the Offering Memorandum and (2) except as
              otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, the Year 2000
              Problem will have a Material Adverse Effect or result in any
              material loss or interference with the business or operations of
              the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (B) the
              Guarantor reasonably believes, after due inquiry, that, except as
              otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, the suppliers,
              vendors, customers or other material third parties used or served
              by the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries which are material to the
              earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Guarantor
              and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are addressing or will
              address the Year 2000 Problem in a timely manner, except to the
              extent that a failure to address the Year 2000 Problem by any
              supplier, vendor, customer or material third party would not have
              a Material Adverse Effect.

     (xliv)  Collateral.  Upon the acquisition by the relevant Collateral Agent
             of a security entitlement in an Escrow Account, in accordance with
             the terms of the relevant Escrow Agreement, the pledge of and grant
             of a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the
             relevant Escrow Agreement) securing the payment of the Obligations
             (as defined in the relevant Escrow Agreement) in favor of the
             Collateral Agent will constitute a first priority perfected
             security interest in such Collateral, enforceable as such against
             all creditors of Holdings, the Issuer or the Guarantor (and any
             persons purporting to purchase any of the Collateral from Holdings,
             the Issuer or the Guarantor).

     (xlv)   No Sales Except in Accordance with the Dutch Securities Act.  None
             of the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings (A) has offered or sold
             nor shall they offer or sell any Notes, whether directly or
             indirectly,
<PAGE>   15

          as part of the Offering or at any time thereafter, to any individual
          or legal entity anywhere in the world other than to individuals or
          legal entities who or which trade or invest in securities in the
          conduct of their profession or business within the meaning of the
          Exemption Regulation of 21 December 1995 (as amended) issued pursuant
          to The Netherlands' Securities Markets Supervision Act 1995 ("Wet
          Toezicht Effectenverkeer 1995", hereinafter the "Dutch Securities
          Act") (which includes banks, brokers, securities institutions,
          insurance companies, pension funds, investment institutions, other
          institutional investors and other parties, including treasury
          departments of commercial enterprises and finance companies of groups,
          which are regularly active in the financial markets in a professional
          manner) and (B) has mentioned and will mention upon making any offer
          of the Notes and in all offer advertisements, publications and other
          documents in which an offer of the Notes is made or a forthcoming
          offer is announced that the offer is exclusively made to the said
          individuals or legal entities. It is understood that these
          restrictions shall cease to apply if Holdings becomes the obligor with
          respect to the Notes and the Securities Board of The Netherlands
          (Stichting Toezicht Effectenverkeer) shall have granted a dispensation
          (ontheffing) to a registration statement filed with the Commission in
          connection with an exchange offer for the Notes.

     (b)  Officer's Certificates.  Any certificate signed by any Management or
Supervisory board member, officer or authorized representative of the Guarantor
or any of the Subsidiaries delivered to the Initial Purchasers or to counsel for
the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the
Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings, as the case may be, to each Initial Purchaser
as to the matters covered thereby.

     SECTION 2.  SALE AND DELIVERY TO INITIAL PURCHASERS; CLOSING.

     (a)  On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained
and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuer agrees to
sell to each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, and each Initial
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Issuer, at the
price set forth in Schedule B, the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth
in Schedule A opposite the name of such Initial Purchasers plus any additional
principal amount of Notes which such Initial Purchasers may become obligated to
purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof.

     (b)  Payment of the purchase price for the Notes shall be made at the
offices of Clifford Chance, 200 Aldersgate Street, London EC1A 4JJ, United
Kingdom, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Initial
Purchasers, the Issuer and the Guarantor, at 9:00 A.M. (London time) on the
fifth business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11), or such other time not later than ten business
days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Initial Purchasers, the
Issuer and the Guarantor (such time and date of payment and delivery being
herein called the "Closing Time").

     Payment shall be made to the Issuer by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to a bank account designated by the Issuer or the Guarantor,
against delivery to the Initial Purchaser for the respective accounts of the
Initial Purchasers of certificates for the Notes to be purchased by them. Each
of Merrill Lynch International and Salomon Brothers International Limited,
individually and not as representative of the Initial Purchasers, may (but shall
not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Notes to be
purchased by any Initial Purchaser whose funds have not been received by the
Closing Time, but such payment shall not relieve such Initial Purchaser from its
obligations hereunder.

     Qualified Institutional Buyer.  Each Initial Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants to, and agrees with, the Issuer that it is a "qualified
institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a
"Qualified Institutional Buyer").

     Denominations; Registration.  Certificates for the Notes shall be in such
denominations (*1,000 or $1,000, as the case may be, principal amount at
maturity or integral multiples thereof), and registered in such names as the
Initial Purchasers may request in writing at least two full business days before
the Closing Time. The Notes, which may be in temporary form, will be made
available for examination and packaging by the Initial Purchasers in The City of
London not later than 5:00 P.M. on the last business day prior to the Closing
Time.

     SECTION 3.  COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER, THE GUARANTOR AND HOLDINGS.  Each of
the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings covenants with each Initial Purchaser as
follows:

     (a)   Offering Memorandum.  The Issuer or the Guarantor, as promptly as
           possible, will furnish to each Initial Purchaser, without charge,
           such number of copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the
           Final Offering Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto
           as such Initial Purchaser may reasonably request.

     (b)   Notice and Effect of Material Events.  The Issuer, the Guarantor or
           Holdings will immediately notify each Initial Purchaser and confirm
           such notice in writing, of (i) any filing made by the Issuer, the
           Guarantor or Holdings of information relating to the Offering with
           any securities exchange or any other regulatory body in the United
           States, Luxembourg or any other jurisdiction, and (ii) prior to the
           completion of the placement of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers,
           of any material changes in or affecting the earnings or business
           affairs or business prospects of the Guarantor or any of the
           Subsidiaries which (x) make any statement in the Offering Memorandum
           false or misleading in any material respect, or (y) are not disclosed
           in the Offering Memorandum. In such event or if during such time any
           event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the
           opinion of any of the Issuer, Guarantor, Holdings, the Initial
           Purchasers or legal counsel for the Issuer, Guarantor or Holdings or
           for the Initial Purchasers, to amend or supplement the Offering
           Memorandum in order that the Offering Memorandum not include any
           untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
           necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in
           the light of the circumstances then existing or, if, in the opinion
           of the Initial Purchasers' legal counsel or legal counsel for the
           Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings, it is necessary to amend or
           supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with applicable law, the
           Issuer will forthwith amend or supplement, at its own expense, the
           Offering Memorandum by preparing and furnishing to each Initial
           Purchaser an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or
           supplements to, the Offering Memorandum (in form and substance
           satisfactory in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Initial
           Purchasers) so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Offering
           Memorandum will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
           omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
           statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing,
           not misleading or so that such Offering Memorandum as so amended or
           supplemented will comply with applicable law, as the case may be, and
           furnish each Initial Purchaser such number of copies as such Initial
           Purchaser may reasonably request and each Initial Purchaser shall
           forthwith furnish such amendment or supplement to each party to which

           not effect such amendment without the Initial Purchasers' prior
           written consent. Neither the consent of the Initial Purchasers, nor
           the Initial Purchasers' delivery of any such amendment or supplement,
           shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in
           Section 5 hereof.

           United States and other jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers may
           designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect as long as
           required for the sale of the Notes. The Issuer, the Guarantor and
           Holdings will file such statements and reports as may be required by
           the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Notes have been qualified
           as above provided. The Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings will also
           supply such information as is necessary for the determination of the
           legality of the Notes for investment under the laws of such
           jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.

        by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising
        (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of the Securities Act) or in any

           engage in any directed selling efforts (as such term is defined under
           Regulation S) in the United States with respect to the Notes, and the
           Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings will comply and request such

following procedures in connection with the offer and sale by the Initial
Purchasers of the Notes:

     (i)   Offers and Sales only to Qualified Institutional Buyers or non-U.S.
           Persons.  Offers and sales of the Notes will be made only by the
           Initial Purchasers or their respective Affiliates who are qualified
           to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made.
           Each such offer or sale shall only be made to persons whom the
           offeror or seller reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional
           Buyers or to non-U.S. persons acquiring the securities in an offshore
           transaction in compliance with Regulation S.

     (ii)   No General Solicitation.  No general solicitation or general
            advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities
            Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the
            offering or sale of the Notes.

     (iii)  Purchases by Non-Bank Fiduciaries.  In the case of a non-bank
            Subsequent Purchaser of a Note acting as fiduciary for one or more
            third parties, in connection with an offer and sale to such
            purchaser
<PAGE>   21

        pursuant to clause (b) above, each third party shall, in the judgment of
        the applicable Initial Purchaser, be a Qualified Institutional Buyer or
        a non-U.S. Person outside the United States.

     (iv)  Subsequent Purchaser Notification.  Each Initial Purchaser will take
           reasonable steps to inform, and cause each of its U.S. Affiliates to
           take reasonable steps to inform, persons acquiring Notes from such
           Initial Purchaser or Affiliate, as the case may be, in the United
           States that the Notes (A) have not been and will not be registered
           under the Securities Act, (B) are being sold to them without
           registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A or in
           accordance with another exemption from registration under the
           Securities Act, as the case may be, and (C) may not be offered, sold
           or otherwise transferred prior to (1) the date which is two years (or
           such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the
           Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) after the later
           of the date of original issue of the Notes, and (2) such later date,
           if any, as may be required under applicable laws except (x) to the
           Issuer, (y) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of
           Regulation S, or (z) inside the United States in accordance with (I)
           Rule 144A to a person whom the seller and any person acting on behalf
           of the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer
           that is purchasing such Notes for its own account or for the account
           of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the
           offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under
           the Securities Act or (II) pursuant to another available exemption
           from registration under the Securities Act (it being understood that
           delivery of the Final Offering Memorandum to such persons shall
           constitute such reasonable steps).

     (v)   Restrictions on Transfer.  Each of the Notes will bear, to the extent
           applicable, the legend contained under "Notices to Investors" in the
           Offering Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms
           stated therein, except after the Notes are resold pursuant to a
           registration statement effective under the Securities Act. Following
           the sale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent
           Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall
           not be liable or responsible to Holdings, the Guarantor or the Issuer
           for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by
           Holdings, the Guarantor or the Issuer, including any losses, damages
           or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to
           any resale or transfer of any Note.

     (vi)  Actions Regarding Other Offerings.  Each Initial Purchaser
           understands that no action has been or will be taken in any
           jurisdiction (including Luxembourg) that would permit a public
           offering of Notes, or possession or distribution of the Offering
           Memorandum or any other offering or publicity materials relating to
           the Notes, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that
           purpose is required.

     (vii) Restrictions Under United Kingdom Securities Regulations.  Each
           Initial Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that (x) it has not
           offered or sold and prior to the expiration of the period six months
           after the date of issue of the Notes will not offer to sell in the
           United Kingdom, by means of any document, any Notes to persons in the
           United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve
           them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as
           principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise
           in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an
           offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the
           Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (y) it has complied and
           will comply with all applicable provisions of the Public Offers of
           Securities Regulations 1995 and the Financial Services Act 1986 with
           respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or
           otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (z) it has only issued or
           passed on, and will only issue or pass on to any person, in the
           United Kingdom, any document received by it in connection with the
           issue of the Notes to a person who is of a kind described in Article
           11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment
           Advertisements)(Exemptions) Order 1996 or is a person to whom such
           document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.

     (viii) No Sales of the Notes in Poland.  Each Initial Purchaser represents
            warrants and agrees that it has not offered or sold and will not
            offer or sell any Notes in the Republic of Poland except under
            circumstances that do not constitute a public offering or
            distribution under the laws and regulations of the Republic of
            Poland.
<PAGE>   22

     (ix)  Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Each Initial Purchaser represents,
           warrants and agrees that it will comply with all applicable laws and
           regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells
           or delivers the Notes or has in its possession or distributes the
           Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum or any
           offering or publicity material relating to the Notes.

     (b)  Covenants of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings.  Each of the
Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings covenants with each Initial Purchaser as
follows:

     (i)   Due Diligence.  In connection with the original distribution of the
           Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings agree that, prior to
           any offer or resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, the
           Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have
           the right to make reasonable inquiries into the business and legal
           matters of the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries. The Issuer, Guarantor
           and Holdings also agree to provide answers to each prospective
           Subsequent Purchaser of Notes who so requests concerning the
           Guarantor and the Subsidiaries (to the extent that such information
           is available or can be acquired and made available to prospective
           Subsequent Purchasers without unreasonable effort or expense and to
           the extent the provision thereof is not prohibited by applicable law)
           and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes, as
           provided in the Offering Memorandum.

     (ii)   Integration.  The Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings agree that they
            will not and will cause their Affiliates not to solicit any offer to
            buy or make any offer or sale of, or otherwise negotiate in respect
            of, securities of the Issuer of any class if, as a result of the
            doctrine of "integration" referred to in Rule 502 under the
            Securities Act, such offer or sale would render invalid (for the
            purpose of (i) the sale of the Notes by the Issuer to the Initial
            Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers
            to Subsequent Purchasers, or (iii) the resale of the Notes by such
            Subsequent Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration
            requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof
            or by Rule 144A or by Regulation S thereunder or otherwise.

     (iii)  Rule 144A Information.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and
            Holdings agree that, in order to render the Notes eligible for
            resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, while any of
            the Notes remain outstanding, it will make available, upon request,
            to any holder of Notes or prospective purchasers of Notes the
            information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4), unless it furnishes
            information to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
            Exchange Act (such information, whether made available to holders or
            prospective purchasers or furnished to the Commission, is herein
            referred to as "Additional Information"). For a period of two years
            after the Closing Time, each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and
            Holdings will make available upon request copies of all Additional
            Information, together with such other documents, reports and
            information as shall be furnished by it to the holders of the Notes.

     (c)  Resale Pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S, Rule 144A or Other
Exemption.  Each Initial Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been and
will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold
within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Each Initial Purchaser severally represents and agrees that it has not offered
or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Notes constituting part of its
allotment within the United States except in accordance with Rule 903 of
Regulation S under the Securities Act or Rule 144A under the Securities Act or
another applicable exemption under the Securities Act. Accordingly, neither such
Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates nor any persons acting on its behalf have
engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to Notes and
the Initial Purchasers, their Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf
have complied and will comply with the offering restriction requirements of
Regulation S. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of
a sale of Notes (other than a sale of Notes pursuant to Rule 144A or pursuant to
Section 6(a)(i)(B) hereof), it or its Affiliates will have sent to each
distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other
remuneration that purchases Notes from it or through it during the restricted
period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

     "The Notes covered hereby have not been registered under the United States
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and may not be
     offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or
     benefit of U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time and
     (ii) otherwise until 40 days
<PAGE>   23

     after the later of the date upon which the offering of the Notes commenced
     and the date of closing, except in either case in accordance with
     Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements of the
     Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them by
     Regulation S."

Terms used in the above paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation
S.

     SECTION 7.  INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Indemnification of Initial
Purchasers.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings, jointly and
severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each
person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

     (i)   against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
           whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or
           alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
           Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum (or
           any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged
           omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the
           statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
           they were made, not misleading;

     (ii)   against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
            whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid
            in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
            by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of
            any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
            omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided
            that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected
            with the written consent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings;
            and

     (iii)  against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the
            fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Initial Purchasers),
            reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
            any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
            governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
            whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any
            such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any
            such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer, the
Guarantor or Holdings by any Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Offering
Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) provided, further, that each
of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings will not be liable to the Initial
Purchasers or any person controlling such Initial Purchasers with respect to any
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent that each of
the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings shall sustain the burden of proving that
any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from the fact that
the Book-Running Manager sold securities to a person to whom such Initial
Purchaser failed to send or give, at or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of such Notes, a copy of the Final Offering Memorandum (as amended or
supplemented) if the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings has previously furnished
copies thereof to such Initial Purchaser (as and to the extent required by law
in order to allow for distribution of the Final Offering Memorandum in a timely
manner) and the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense of the Initial
Purchasers resulted from an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from such
Preliminary Offering Memorandum (as amended or supplemented) which was corrected
in the Final Offering Memorandum (as amended or supplemented).

     (b)  Indemnification of Issuer, Guarantor, Holdings and their Directors and
Officers.  Each Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Guarantor, Holdings, their respective directors and each person, if
any, who controls the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any
and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity
contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect
to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions,
made in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
<PAGE>   24

to the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings by such Initial Purchaser expressly for
use in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

     (c)  Actions Against Parties; Notification.  Each indemnified party shall
give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of
any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought
hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such
indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not
materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this Section
7. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, counsel to
the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Initial Purchasers, and, in the
case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the
indemnified parties shall be selected by the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings.
An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any
such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not
(except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the
indemnified party. Except as expressly provided in this Section 7, in no event
shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one
counsel (in addition to any local counsel, limited to one law firm per country)
separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with
any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in
respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this
Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual
or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i)
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does
not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d)  Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse.  If at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with the
requirements of this Section 7, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be
liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii)
effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more
than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request,
(ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such
settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and
(iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

     SECTION 8.  CONTRIBUTION.  If the indemnification provided for in Section 7
hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, the
Guarantor and Holdings on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other
hand from the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, the Guarantor
and Holdings on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

     The relative benefits received by the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings on
the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the
offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the
same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the
Notes pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the
Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings and the total underwriting discount received
by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the
Notes.

     The relative fault of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings on the one
hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue
<PAGE>   25

statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings or
by the Initial Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The Issuer, the Guarantor, Holdings and the Initial Purchasers agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in
this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section
8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial
Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an
Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as
such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Issuer, the Guarantor and
Holdings and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer, the Guarantor or
Holdings within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer, the
Guarantor or Holdings. The Initial Purchasers' respective obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the principal
amount of Notes set forth opposite their respective names in separate letters in
Schedule A hereto and not joint.

     SECTION 9.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE
DELIVERY.  All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary, as
the case may be, submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Initial Purchasers or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Issuer,
Guarantor or Holdings and shall survive delivery of the Notes to the Initial
Purchasers.

     SECTION 10.  TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. (a) Termination; General.  This
Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the
Initial Purchasers by notice given to the Guarantor prior to delivery of and
payment for the Notes, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally
on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ
National Market System shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices
shall have been established on any such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium
shall have been declared by the Republic of Poland, U.S. Federal or New York
State authorities, (iii) there has occurred a material adverse change in the
currency exchange rate or exchange controls between the Polish zloty and the
U.S. dollar, which change makes it, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers,
impracticable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as
contemplated in the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement
thereto) or would be likely to prejudice materially dealings in the Notes in the
secondary market or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of
hostilities, declaration by the United States, any member state of the European
Union, or the Republic of Poland of a national emergency or war or other
calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make
it, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated by the Final
Offering Memorandum.
<PAGE>   26

     (b)  Liabilities.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this
Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other
party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections
1, 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and
effect.

     SECTION 11.  DEFAULT BY ONE OR MORE OF THE INITIAL PURCHASERS.  If one or
more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the
Notes which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the
"Defaulted Securities"), the remaining Initial Purchaser shall have the right,
within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for the non-defaulting Initial
Purchaser, or any other Initial Purchasers, to purchase all, but not less than
all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon
the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Initial Purchasers shall not have
completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

     (a)  if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased hereunder, the
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the full amount
thereof, or

     (b)  if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be purchased hereunder, this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchaser.

     No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.

     In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement, either the Initial Purchasers or the Issuer shall have the right
to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to
effect any required changes in the Offering Memorandum or in any other documents
or arrangements. As used herein, the term "Initial Purchaser" includes any
person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section 11.

     SECTION 12.  NOTICES.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or
transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial
Purchasers shall be directed to Merrill Lynch International Limited at Ropemaker

attention of Stanislaw Majewski, Chief Financial Officer.

     SECTION 13.  PARTIES.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings, and
their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is
intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other
than the Initial Purchasers, the Issuer, the Guarantor, Holdings and their
respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors
referred to in Sections 7 and 8 hereof and their heirs and legal
representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and
all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Initial Purchasers and the Issuer, the Guarantor,
Holdings and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and
officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the
benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Notes from any
Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such
purchase.

     SECTION 14.  GOVERNING LAW AND TIME.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SPECIFIED
TIMES OF DAY REFER TO LONDON TIME.
<PAGE>   27

     SECTION 15.  AGENT FOR SERVICE; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF
IMMUNITIES.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings agrees that any
suit, action or proceeding against the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings,
brought by any Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents
of any Initial Purchaser, or by any person who controls any Initial Purchaser,
arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of
Manhattan, City of New York, New York, and waives any objection which it may nor
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or
proceeding. Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings has appointed CT
Corporation System, with offices on the date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue New
York, NY 10011, as its authorized agent (the "Agent"), upon whom process may be
served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any
state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York,
by any Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any
Initial Purchaser, or by any person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser,
and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in
respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Issuer, the
Guarantor and Holdings hereby represents and warrants that the Agent has
accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of
process, and each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings agree to take any
and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be
necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid.
Service of process upon the Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective
service of process upon the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any action involving the Guarantor arising out of or based upon
this Agreement may be instituted by any Initial Purchaser, the directors,
officers, employees and agents of any Initial Purchaser, or by any person who
controls any Initial Purchaser, in any court of competent jurisdiction in The
Netherlands, the Republic of Poland or in Luxembourg.

     To the extent that the either of the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holdings has
or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any
legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself
or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its
obligations under the above-referenced documents.

     SECTION 16.  JUDGMENT CURRENCY.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and
Holdings agrees to indemnify each Initial Purchaser, the officers, directors and
agents of such Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such
Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any loss incurred by any of them as a
result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under
this Agreement and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency
(the "Judgment Currency") other than United States dollars and as a result of
any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States
dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such
judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in the City of New York at
which any such person on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able
to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency
actually received by such person. The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The
term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange
payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, United States
dollars.

     SECTION 17.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts and when a counterpart has been executed by each party, all such
counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     SECTION 18.  EFFECT OF HEADINGS.  The Article and Section headings herein
and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof.

     If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement,
please sign and return to the Issuer a counterpart hereof, whereupon this
instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between
the Initial Purchasers, the Issuer, the Guarantor and Holdings in accordance
