3.3  Dealings with Assigned Agreements

     (a)  The assignment of the Assigned Agreements pursuant to Clause 3.2 shall

          period of 60 days commencing on the date of the Deed of Accession

          would occur without consent, unless and until any required consents
          shall have been obtained.

     (b)  The assignment referred to in Clause 3.2 constitutes and effects
          (subject to Clause 3.3(a)) an immediate and full assignment, by way of
          security, of the Assigned Agreements and shall be effective, and the
          security intended to be created by this Debenture shall be
          constituted, immediately upon its execution or, as the case may be,

     (c)  Notwithstanding but without prejudice to Clause 3.3(b), the Security
          Trustee agrees that each Company may exercise all of the rights,

<PAGE>

          Company under and in respect of the Assigned Agreements, unless and

          contravene, or result in a contravention of, any provision of the
          Credit Agreement.

     (d)  Each Company shall remain at all times liable to perform all of the
          obligations assumed by it under or in respect of the Assigned
          Agreements to the same extent as if the security created pursuant to

          their agents or nominees, of any of the rights, benefits, interests or
          claims assigned by this Debenture shall not release any Company from
          any of its Secured Obligations.

     (f)  Without prejudice to the obligations of the Security Trustee to the
          Banks under the Loan Documents, neither the Security Trustee nor any
          Bank shall, by reason of or arising out of this Debenture or anything
          done under or in connection with it, have any obligation or liability
          whatsoever to any Person (including each Company and any other Bank)
          to:

          (i)   perform (as a result of the non-performance or mis-performance
                of) any of the obligations assumed by any Company under or in
                respect of the Loan Documents or the Assigned Agreements;

          (ii)  enforce payment or performance of any obligations of any Person
                party to any of the Loan Documents; or

          (iii) make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
                received by it under or in respect of this Debenture or any of
                the Assigned Agreements or to make any claim or take any action
                to collect any monies or to exercise any of the rights, title,
                interest and benefits assigned to the Security Trustee to which
                the Security Trustee may be at any time entitled pursuant to
                this Debenture, or to make any payment in respect of the
                Assigned Agreements.

     (g)  The Security Trustee agrees that until an Event of Default has
          occurred and is continuing and the Security Trustee has notified a
          Company of the revocation of such power and authority, such Company
          may amend or vary any Assigned Agreement relating to it, except where
          such amendment or variation could reasonably be expected to have a
          Material Adverse Effect.

     (h)  The provisions of this Clause 3.3 shall apply notwithstanding any
          other provision of this Debenture or any contrary or inconsistent
          provision of any Loan Document.

     commencing on the date hereof (or in the case of an Additional Company

                                      -9-

     Accession executed and delivered by such Additional Company) to obtaining

          situated outside England and Wales to the extent that and for so long
          as any such security would be unlawful under the laws of the
          jurisdiction in which such asset is situated;

     (b)  Non-English Companies

          Notwithstanding the contents of this Clause 3, APW Products and

          executing Deeds of Accession) together with (by way of charge by way
          of legal mortgage, fixed charge, assignment by way of security or
          floating charge (as applicable)) all other assets located in the
          England and Wales which such Companies may own at any time in the
          future;

     (c)  Consents

          Each Company shall as soon as reasonably possible and in any event
          within 60 days of the date of this Debenture use reasonable endeavours
          to obtain any necessary consents to the creation of the security
          intended to be created hereby but not created due to a requirement for
          consent.  If any relevant third party (other than a group company)
          shall make a claim (which is valid in the reasonable opinion of the
          relevant Company) to a Company in writing that the creation or
          continuation of any security constituted by or pursuant to this
          Debenture is or was in contravention of the terms of any agreement
          entered into by any of the Companies and such third party, or a
          relevant third party refuses to give such consent, the Security
          Trustee shall, if requested to do so by the relevant Company (such
          request to be accompanied by a copy of the letter or other
          communication from the third party) and at such Company's cost
          promptly do all, such things as is necessary to release such assets
          subject to such claim from such security.

3.6  Failure of assignment

     If for any reason the assignment of any of the Assigned Agreements referred
     to in Clause 3.2 (Assignment) is found to be ineffective and/or if any sums
     payable in respect of such Assigned Agreements are received by a Company,
     such Company following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
     Event of Default and



                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     notification of the same by the Security Trustee shall hold the benefit of
     such Assigned Agreements and any such sums received by it in trust for the
     Security Trustee, and shall account to the Security Trustee for or
     otherwise apply all such sums as the Security Trustee may direct and shall
     otherwise at its own cost take such action and execute such documents as
     the Security Trustee may in its reasonable discretion require to effect
     such assignment.

3.7  Assignment of insurances

          at any such time factor or discount any of the debts or enter into any
          agreement for such factoring or discounting.

          delivery to the Security Trustee of, Notices of Charge, duly completed

          of this Debenture or the Credit Agreement; or

                 its business to lapse for non-payment of any renewal or other

                 Intellectual Property which is material to its business to be

     in its absolute discretion think fit:

     (a)  grant or make any agreement for any lease of the Secured Property or

     extended by this Debenture shall become immediately exercisable without the
     restrictions contained in the LPA as to the giving of notice or otherwise.

12.2 Exclusion of Provisions of LPA

     The Secured Obligations shall be deemed for the purposes of all powers
     implied by statute to have become due and payable within the meaning of
     Section 101 of the LPA immediately on the execution of this Debenture and
     Section 103 of the LPA (restricting the power of sale) Section 109 of the
     LPA (restricting the power to appoint a receiver) and Section 93 of the LPA

     The powers conferred on mortgagees or receivers or administrative receivers
     by the LPA and the Insolvency Act 1986 (as the case may be) shall apply to
     the security constituted by this Debenture except insofar as they are
     expressly or impliedly excluded and where there is ambiguity or conflict
     between the powers contained in such Acts and those contained in this
     Debenture, then this Debenture shall prevail.

12.5 Power of Sale

     The statutory power of sale exercisable by the Security Trustee under this

     sever any fixtures from the property to which they are attached and sell
     them separately from such property.

12.6 Exercise of Powers

     All or any of the powers conferred upon mortgagees by the LPA as hereby

     exercised by the Security Trustee without further notice to any Company at

     Trustee may exercise such rights and powers irrespective of whether the
     Security Trustee has taken possession or has appointed a Receiver of the
     Secured Property.

13.  PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

13.1 Protection of Third Parties

     No purchaser, mortgagee or other Person dealing with a Receiver or the
     Security Trustee shall be concerned to enquire whether the Secured
     Obligations have become payable or whether any power which he or it is
     purporting to exercise has become exercisable or whether any money is due
     under this Debenture or as to the application of any money paid, raised or
     borrowed or as to the propriety or regularity of any sale by or other
     dealing with such Receiver or the Security Trustee.  All the protection to
     purchasers contained in Sections 104 and 107 of the LPA shall apply to any
     Person purchasing from or dealing with a Receiver or the Security Trustee
     as if the Secured Obligations had become due and the statutory powers of
     sale and of appointing a Receiver in relation to the Secured Property had
     arisen on the date of this Debenture.

13.2 Receipts Conclusive

     The receipt of the Security Trustee or any Receiver shall be an absolute
     and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser and shall relieve him of any
     obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to or by the
     direction of the Security Trustee or any Receiver.

13.3 Meaning of Purchaser

     In Clauses 13.1 (Protection of Third Parties) and 13.2 (Receipts

To:  [insert name and address of counterparty]

                                                                  Dated: [ ] [ ]

Dear Sirs,

     Re:  [Identify relevant Assigned Agreement] (the "Agreement")

1.   We hereby notify you that [            ] (the "Company") has assigned by
     way of security to [             ], as Security Trustee (the "Security
     Trustee") pursuant to a Debenture dated [            ], between, inter
     alia,  the Company and the Security Trustee, all its right, title and
     interest in the Agreement as security for its Secured Obligations.

2.   We further notify you that:

     (a)  you may continue to deal with the Company in relation to the Agreement
          until you receive written notice to the contrary from the Security
          Trustee and thereafter the Company will cease to have any right to
          deal with you in relation to the Agreement and therefore from that
          time you should deal only with the Security Trustee;

     (b)  you are authorised to disclose any information in relation to the
          Agreement to the Security Trustee on request;

     (c)  you must, upon being so notified by the Security Trustee in accordance
          with the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), pay all
          monies to which the Company is entitled under the Agreement direct to
          the Security Trustee (and not to the Company) or as it may direct;

     (d)  the Company shall continue to be fully liable to perform its
          obligations under the Agreement and the Security Trustee shall not
          have any liability to you whatsoever in respect of the Agreement; and

     (e)  the provisions of this notice may only be revoked with the written
          consent of the Security Trustee.

3.   Please sign and return the enclosed copy of this notice to the Security
     Trustee (with a copy to the Company) by way of confirmation that:

     (a)  you agree to the terms set out in this notice and to act in accordance
          with its provisions; and

     (b)  you have not received notice that the Company has assigned its rights
          under the Agreement to a third party or created any other interest
          (whether by way of security or otherwise) in the Agreement in favour
          of a third party other than a

To:    [            ]

From:  [            ] (the "Company")

                                                                          [Date]

Dear Sirs

                               NOTICE OF CHARGE

We refer to Account No: [            ] (the "Special Accounts").

We notify you by this letter that we have charged by way of fixed charge,
pursuant to a Debenture entered into by us in favour of [Name of Security
Trustee] (the "Security Trustee") dated [            ] 200[  ] (the
"Debenture"), all monies now or at any time standing to the credit of the
Special Accounts.  All terms defined in the Debenture which are used in this
letter shall bear the same meaning as in the Debenture.

A copy of the Debenture [is enclosed for your attention] [has previously been
provided to you] and we request that you take note of its provisions.

We irrevocably and unconditionally instruct and authorise you (but subject to
the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) at all times after the Security
Trustee has given you notice of an Event of Default which is continuing (an
"Enforcement Notice"):

1.   to disclose to the Security Trustee, without any reference to or further
     authority from us and without any enquiry by you as to the justification
     for such disclosure, such information relating to the Special Accounts, the
     amount from time to time standing to the credit of the same (the "Special
     Account Funds") and the debts represented by the same as the Security
     Trustee may, at any time and from time to time, request;

2.   at any time and from time to time upon receipt by you of any written
     instruction from the Security Trustee, to release any amount of the Special
     Account Funds and to act in accordance with such instruction, without any
     reference to or further authority from us and without any enquiry by you as
     to the justification for such instruction or the validity of the same; and

3.   to comply with the terms of any written notice, statement or instrument in
     any way relating or purporting to relate to the Special Accounts, the
     Special Account Funds or the debts represented by the same which you may
     receive at any time and from time to time from the Security Trustee,
     without any reference to or further authority from



                                      -54-
<PAGE>

     us and without any enquiry by you as to the justification for such notice,
     statement or instruction or the validity of the same,

provided that until you receive any such Enforcement Notice we shall be entitled
to deal with the Special Account Funds and the Special Accounts as we see fit.

We agree that:

(a)  in the event of any conflict between communications received from us and
     from the Security Trustee, the communication from the Security Trustee
     shall prevail;

(b)  none of the instructions, authorisations and confirmations in this notice
     can be revoked or varied in any way except with the Security Trustee's
     prior written consent; and

(c)  you are authorised to disclose any information in relation to the Special
     Accounts to the Security Trustee at the Security Trustee's request.

Please acknowledge receipt of this notice, and confirm your agreement to it, by
executing and returning to the Security Trustee at [            ] marked for the
attention of [            ] an original acknowledgement in the form attached to
this letter.

The instructions, authorisations and confirmations which are contained in this
letter shall remain in full force and effect until we and the Security Trustee
give you notice in writing revoking them.

This letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sirs

We acknowledge receipt of:

(a)  the notice dated [            ] 200[  ] (a copy of which is attached to
     this letter) addressed to us by [Name of Company] (the "Company") regarding
     Account No: [            ] (the "Special Accounts"); and

(b)  the copy of the Debenture (as defined in that notice) [enclosed with that

All terms defined in the Debenture which are used in this letter shall bear the
same meaning as in the Debenture.

We confirm that subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement:

1.   we consent to the charge of the Special Accounts and have noted, and will
     act in accordance with, the terms of that notice;

2.   there does not exist in our favour (other than arising at law), and we
     undertake not to create, assert, claim or exercise, any mortgage, fixed or
     floating charge, encumbrance, assignment or other security interest of any
     kind or any agreement or arrangement having substantially the same economic
     or financial effect as any of the above (including any rights of counter-
     claim, rights of set-off or combination of accounts or any "hold back" or
     "flawed asset" arrangement) over or with respect to any monies standing to
     the credit of, or received by us to be credited to, the Special Accounts
     (or any part of the same) save for group netting arrangements;

3.   we have not previously received notice of any other assignment or charge of
     the Special Accounts and we are not aware of any interest of any third
     party in any of the monies now or at any time standing to the credit of the
     Special Accounts other than in favour of [RBS/BofA as Security Trustee for
     certain books]; and

4.   we undertake that, in the event of us becoming aware at any time that any
     Person other than the Security Trustee [or RBS] has or will have any right
     or interest



                                      -56-

     whatsoever in or has made or will be making any claim or demand or taking
     any action whatsoever in respect of the Special Accounts, we will
     immediately give written notice of the same to the Security Trustee.

We have made the acknowledgements and confirmations and have given the
undertakings set out in this letter in the knowledge that they are required by
the Security Trustee in connection with the security created pursuant to the
Debenture.

This letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.

Yours faithfully
