                                MASTER AGREEMENT

                      dated as of the 21st of December 2004
                                      ---------------------

 -------------------------------       ---------------------------------------

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transaction (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:-

1.   INTERPRETATION

(a)  DEFINITION. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
     the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b)  INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
     the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the
     Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the
     provisions of any Confirmation and the Master Agreement (including the
     Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant
     Transactions.

(c)  SINGLE AGREEMENT. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
     that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
     between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the
     parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2.   OBLIGATIONS

(a)  GENERAL CONDITIONS

     (i)  Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
          confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
          Agreement.

     (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
          on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
          Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement in freely
          transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
          required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other
          than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due
          date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless
          otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this
          Agreement.

                        of Attorneys Act No. 53 of 1979



     (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1)
          the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
          Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is
          continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date
          in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been
          effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition
          precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b)  CHANGE OF ACCOUNT.

     Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by
     giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to
     the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies
     unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to
     such change.

(c)  NETTING. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:-

     (i)  in the same currency; and

     (ii) in respect of the same Transaction

     by each party to the other, then on such date, each party's obligation to
     make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and
     discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been
     payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have
     been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party
     by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the
     other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller
     aggregate amount.

     The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net
     amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same
     date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of
     whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The
     election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that
     subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as
     being subject to the election, together with starting date (in which case
     subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such
     Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for
     different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing
     of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or
     deliveries.

(d)  DEDUCTION OR WITHHOLDING FOR TAX.

     (i)  GROSS-UP. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
          deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
          deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as
          modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue
          authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or
          withhold, then that party ("X") will:-

          (1)  promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirements;

          (2)  pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
               deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
               deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y
               under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining
               that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving
               notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;

          (3)  promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
               or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing
               such payment to such authorities; and

          (4)  if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the
               payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
               such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net
               amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable
               Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full
               amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding
               been required. However, X will not be required to pay any
               additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be
               required to be paid but for -

               (A)  the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
                    contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

                                        2



               (B)  the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
                    Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure
                    would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a
                    taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent
                    jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is
                    entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or
                    brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a
                    Change in Tax Law.

     (ii) LIABILITY. IF:-

          (1)  X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
               of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
               deduction of withholding in respect of which X would not be
               required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section
               2(d)(i)(4);

          (2)  X does not so deduct or withhold; and

          (3)  A liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against
               X,

          then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the
          liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount
          of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but
          including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to
          comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i),
          4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

(e)  DEFAULT INTEREST; OTHER AMOUNTS. Prior to the occurrence or effective
     designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant
     Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment
     obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section
     6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the
     overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such
     overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date
     for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default
     Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
     and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or
     effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the
     relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation
     required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on
     demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or
     elsewhere in this Agreement.

3.   REPRESENTATIONS

     Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be
     deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is
     entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at
     all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:-

          three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement
          or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects,
          in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken
          by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on
          its behalf);

     (vi) CROSS DEFAULT. If "Cross Default" is specified in the schedule as
          applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default,
          event of default or other similar condition or event (however
          described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of
          such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one
          or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness
          of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount
          of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the
          Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming,
          or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and payable
          under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have
          been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit
          Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or
          collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof
          in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold
          Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to
          any applicable notice requirement or grace period);

               pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability
               generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a

               bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency
               law or other similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a
               petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in
               the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or
               presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in
               a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order
               for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or
               liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or

               action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to approval

(b)  TERMINATION EVENTS. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
     if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified
     Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality
     if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is
     specified in (ii) below, a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified
     in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon
     Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional
     Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:-

     (i)  ILLEGALITY. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
          law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to
          the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any
          court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of
          any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than a
          result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
          will be the Affected Party):-

          (1)  to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
               payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in
               respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material
               provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

          (2)  to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to
               perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or
               such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support
               Document relating to such Transaction;

     (ii) TAX EVENT. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
          brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
          which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action
          is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y)
          a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party)
          will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next
          succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other
          party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under
          Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e),
          6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is
          required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except
          in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no
          additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under
          Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or
          (B));

     (iii) TAX EVENT UPON MERGER. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next
          succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay
          an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
          2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii)
          or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been
          deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in
          respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional
          amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)) in
          either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with,
          or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its
          assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where
          such action does not constitute an event described in Section
          5(a)(viii);

     (iv) CREDIT EVENT UPON MERGER. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
          in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit
          Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X
          consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers
          all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action
          does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
          creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
          materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
          Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
          (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate,
          will be the Affected Party); or

     (v)  ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
          specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the
          occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or
          Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination
          Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c)  EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ILLEGALITY. If an event or circumstance which would
     otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes
     an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute
     and Event of Default.

6.   EARLY TERMINATION

(a)  RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT. If at any time an Event of
     Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and
     is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by
     not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the
     relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such
     notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all
     outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is
     specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination
     Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon
     the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified
     in Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto,
     (8) and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the
     relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the
     occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in
     Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or to the extent analogous thereof (8).

(b)  RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.

     (i)  NOTICE. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
          promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying
          the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and
          will also give such other information about that Termination Event as
          the other party may reasonably require.

     (ii) TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT. If either an Illegality under
          Section 5(b)(i)(l) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one
          Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened
          Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition
          to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section
          6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such
          party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to
          transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i)
          all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the
          Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that
          such Termination Event ceases to exist.

          If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
          notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
          whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days
          after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

          Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be
          subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other
          party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's
          policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into
          transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

     (iii) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(l) or a
          Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will
          use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after the
          notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that
          Termination Event.

     (iv) RIGHT TO TERMINATE. IF:-

          (1)  a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section
               6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect
               to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected
               Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

          (2)  an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
               Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event
               Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected
               Party,

          either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the
          case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a
          Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one
          Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the
          case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event
          if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days
          notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination
          Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day
          such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of
          all Affected Transactions.

(c)  EFFECT OF DESIGNATION

     (i)  If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section
          6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
          designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or
          Termination Event is then continuing.

     (ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
          Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e)
          in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made,
          but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The
          amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall
          be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d)  CALCULATIONS

     (i)  STATEMENT. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
          occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
          calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and
          will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable
          detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and
          specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving
          details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is
          to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of
          a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of
          the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the
          existence and accuracy of such quotation.

     (ii) PAYMENT DATE. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
          Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day
          that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an
          Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an
          Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days
          after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in
          the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result
          of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to
          the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as
          well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and
          including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the
          date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will
          be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number
          of days elapsed.

(e)  PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
     following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the
     Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a
     payment method either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the
     parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the
     Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotations" or the "Second
     Method", as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in
     respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this
     Section will be subject to any Set-off.

     (i)  EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event
          of Default:-

          (1)  First Method and Market Quotations. If the First Method and
               Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
               Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the
               sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
               Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the
               Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to
               the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency
               Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

          (2)  First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
               Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a
               positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of
               this Agreement.

          (3)  Second Method and Market Quotations. If the Second Method and
               Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A)
               the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the
               Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions
               and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
               owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the

                        Attorney Admitted in terms of Admission
                        of Attorneys Act No. 53 of 1979

                                        9



                    Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing
                    to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive
                    number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
                    Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the
                    Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that
                    amount to the Defaulting Party.

               (4)  Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply,
                    an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting
                    Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is
                    a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
                    Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the
                    Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that
                    amount to the Defaulting Party.

     (ii) TERMINATION EVENTS. If the Early Termination Date results from a
          Termination Event:-

          (1)  One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount
               payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3),
               if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss
               applies, except that, in either case, references to the
               Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed
               to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not
               the Affected Party respectively, and if Loss applies and fewer
               than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be
               calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.

          (2)  Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:-

               (A)  if Market Quotations applies, each party will determine a
                    Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions,
                    and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a)
                    one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of
                    the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the
                    Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
                    Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
                    the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
                    Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and

               (B)  if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
                    respect of this Agreement (or if fewer than all the
                    Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
                    Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal
                    to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party
                    with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with
                    the lower Loss ("Y").

               If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X:
               if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that
               amount to Y.

     (iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY. In circumstances where an Early
          Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies
          in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e)
          will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted
          by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the
          other in this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the
          period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for
          payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).

     (iv) PRE-ESTIMATE. The parties agree that if Market Quotations applies an
          amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable
          pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the
          loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and
          except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be
          entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such
          losses.

7.   TRANSFER

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that:-

(a)  a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
     consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of
     all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without
     prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b)  a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
     amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

8.   CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY

(a)  PAYMENT IN THE CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY. Each payment under this Agreement will
     be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that
     payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable
     law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the
     Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in
     any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such
     tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed,
     acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency
     so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the
     Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement.
     If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls
     short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
     Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent
     permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the
     Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall.
     If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
     exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
     Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount
     of such excess.

(b)  JUDGMENTS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
     order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is
     rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this
     Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early
     termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment
     or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or
     (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the
     aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment
     or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the
     amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party
     as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund
     promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received
     by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such
     shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the
     rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the
     currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or
     order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a
     reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
     into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with
     the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by
     such party. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any
     premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of
     or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

(c)  SEPARATE INDEMNITIES. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
     indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
     obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and
     independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence
     granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected
     by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums
     payable in respect of this Agreement.

(d)  EVIDENCE OF LOSS. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
     for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
     exchange or purchase been made.

9.   MISCELLANEOUS

(a)  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
     understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and
     supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

(b)  AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
     Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing
     evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties
     or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an
     electronic messaging system.

(c)  SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
     6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive
     the termination of any Transaction.

(d)  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
     powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative
     and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided
     by law.

(e)  COUNTERPARTS AND CONFIRMATIONS.

     (i)  This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect
          of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
          facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

     (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
          Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally
          or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as
          practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts
          (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of
          telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic
          messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all
          purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The
          parties will specify therein or through another effective means that
          any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a
          Confirmation.

(f)  NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
     privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
     waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
     will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of
     that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or
     privilege.

(g)  HEADINGS. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
     reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken
     into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

10.  OFFICES; MULTIBRANCH PARTIES

(a)  If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
     enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home
     office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of
     booking office or jurisdiction or incorporation or organisation of such
     party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into
     the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will
     be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction
     is entered into.

(b)  Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives
     payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior
     written consent of the other party.

(c)  If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
     Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
     Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office
     though which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a
     Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

11.  EXPENSES

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Documents to
which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of
any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

12.  NOTICES

     Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice

     Business Day.

(b)  CHANGE OF ADDRESSES. Either party may by notice to the other change the

13.  GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

(a)  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
     accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.

(b)  JURISDICTION. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to
     this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:-

     (i)  submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement
          is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive
          jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United
          States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York
          City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the
          State of New York; and

     (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of
          venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim
          that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and
          further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings,
          that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.

     Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings
     in any other jurisdiction (outside if this Agreement is expressed to be
     governed by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1
     (3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification,
     extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the
     bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the
     bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c)  SERVICE OF PROCESS. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if
     any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on
     its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any reason any
     party's Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly
     notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process
     agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to
     service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.
     Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either party to service
     process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d)  WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
     permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and
     assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the
     grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii)
     jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for
     specific performance or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its
     assets (whether before or after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement
     of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be
     entitled in any Proceedings in the court of any jurisdiction and
     irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will
     not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

or having had a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in such
jurisdiction, but excluding a connection arising solely from such recipient or
related person having executed, delivered, performed its obligations or received
a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or a Credit Support Document).

"LAW" includes any treaty, law, rule or regulation (as modified, in the case of
tax matters, by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority) and
"LAWFUL" and "UNLAWFUL" will be construed accordingly.

"LOCAL BUSINESS DAY" means, subject to the Schedule, a day on which commercial
banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign
currency deposits) (a) in relation to any obligation under Section 2(a)(i), in
the place(s) specified in the relevant Confirmation or, if not so specified, as
otherwise agreed by the parties in writing or determined pursuant to provisions
contained, or incorporated by reference, in this Agreement, (b) in relation to
any other payment, in the place where the relevant account is located and, if
different, in the principal financial centre, if any, of the currency or such
payment, (c) in relation to any notice or other communication, including notice
contemplated under Section 5(a)(i), in the city specified in the address for
notice provided by the recipient and, in the case of a notice contemplated by
Section 2(b), in the place where the relevant new account is to be located and
(d) in relation to Section 5(a)(v)(2), in the relevant locations for performance
with respect to such Specified Transaction.

"LOSS" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency
Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its
total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expresses as a negative number)
in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost
of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or
cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from
any of them ). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any
payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date
and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(l) or (3)
or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and
out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its
Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably
practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A
party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of
relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant
markets.

"MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions
and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment of delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this
purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after
that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would
be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker
may, in good faith agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will
request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent
reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different
time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early
Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be
obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a
determination under Section 6(e) and, if each party is so obliged, after
consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the
Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard
to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining
after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For the purpose, if more
than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such
quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it
will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.

"NON-DEFAULT RATE" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or
evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if
it were to fund the relevant amount.

               payment or delivery scheduled to be made by the party which is
               not the Affected Party pursuant to Section 2 in connection with
               any Affected Transaction at any time after that notice is
               effective shall be deferred to the earliest to occur of (i) the

               judgement and the advice of such advisors and not upon any view
               expressed by the other party; (iii) not relied upon any
               representations (whether written or oral) of the other party,
               other than the representations expressly set forth hereunder and
               in any Credit Support Document and is not in any fiduciary
               relationship with the other party; (iv) not obtained from the
               other party (directly or indirectly through any other person) any

          Date has occurred under Section 6(a) as a result of Automatic Early
          Termination, and if the Non-defaulting Party determines that it either
          sustained or incurred a loss or damage or benefited from a gain in
          respect of any Transaction, as a result of movement in interest rates,
          currency exchange rates or market quotations between the Early
          Termination Date and the date (the "Determination Date") upon which
          the Non-defaulting Party first becomes aware that the Early
          Termination Date has occurred under Section 6(a), THEN the amount of
          such loss or damage shall be added to the amount due by the Defaulting
          Party or deducted from the amount due by the Non-defaulting Party, as
          the case may be (in both cases pursuant to Section 6(e)(i)(3); or the
          amount of such gain shall be deducted from the amount due by the
          Defaulting Party or added to the amount due by the Non-defaulting
          Party, as the case may be (in both cases pursuant to Section
          6(e)(i)(3))."

                                       8

          The following is added as Paragraph (f) at the end of the provision:

          "(f) SET-OFF. Any amount (the "Early Termination Amount") payable to
               one party (the "Payee") by the other party (the "Payer") under
               Section 6(e), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party
               or one Affected Party in the case where a Termination Event under
               Section 5(b)(iv) has occurred, will, at the option of the party
               ("X") other than the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (and
               without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected
               Party), be reduced by its set-off against any amount(s) (the
               "Other Agreement Amount") payable (whether at such time or in the
               future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to
               the Payer (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or
               booking office of the obligation) under any other agreement(s)
               between the Payee and the Payer or instrument(s) or
               undertaking(s) issued or executed by one party to, or in favour
               of, the other party (and the Other Agreement Amount will be
               discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so
               set-off). X will give notice to the other party of any set-off
               effected under this Section 6(f).

               For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or Other
               Agreement Amount (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be
               converted by X into the currency in which the other is
               denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be
               able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to
               purchase the relevant amount of such currency.

               If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate
               that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject
               to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation
               is ascertained.

               Nothing in this Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a
               charge or other security interest. This Section 6(f) shall be
               without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off,
               combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party
               is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law,
               contract or otherwise)."

(b)  OTHER PROVISIONS

     (i)  TELEPHONE RECORDING. Each party agrees to be bound by any Transaction
          entered into between the parties from the time agreement is reached
          (whether by telephone, exchange of electronic messages or otherwise).
          Each party may, subject to its obtaining any consents and giving any
          notices which may be legally required, tape record any telephone
          conversation between the parties and each party agrees that any such
          tape recording shall be admissible in evidence in any court or other
          legal proceeding for the purpose of establishing any matters pertinent
          to such Transaction.

     (ii) PAYMENTS IN ESCROW. On any particular date on which both parties are
          required to make payments hereunder, either party may at its option
          and in its sole discretion notify the other party that payments on
          that date are to be made in escrow. In this case, deposit of the
          payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00 p.m. (local
          time at the place for the earlier payment) on that date with an escrow
          agent selected by the party giving the notice, accompanied by
          irrevocable payment instructions (i) to release the deposited payment
          to the intended recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the
          required deposit of the corresponding payment from the other party on
          the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the
          same effect or (ii) if the required deposit of the corresponding
          payment is not made on the same date, to return the payment deposited
          to the party that paid it in escrow. The party that elects to have
          payments made in escrow shall pay the costs of the escrow arrangements
          and shall make arrangements to provide that the intended recipient of
          the amount due to be deposited first shall be entitled to interest on
          the deposited payment for each day in the period of its deposit at the
          rate offered by the escrow agent for that day for overnight deposits
          in the relevant currency in the office where it holds that deposited
          payment (at 11:00 a.m. local time on that day) if that payment is not
          released by 5:00 p.m. local time on the date it is deposited for any
          reason other than the intended recipient's failure to make the escrow
          deposit it is required to make hereunder in a timely fashion.

                                       9


    (iii) SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this
          Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance,
          shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in
          part) for any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and
          conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if the
          Agreement had been executed with the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
          portion eliminated, so long as the Agreement as so modified continues
          to express, without material change, the original intentions of the
          parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of
          such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the

          respective benefits or expectations of the parties of this Agreement.
          It shall in particular be understood that this Severability clause
          shall not affect the "single agreement" concept of Section 1(c) of
          this Agreement.

     (iv) CONFIRMATIONS.

          (1)  With respect to each Transaction, Party A shall, on or promptly
               after a Trade Date, send Party B a Confirmation. Upon receipt
               thereof, Party B will review the Confirmation and either (i)
               notify Party A of any errors or discrepancies in it, or (ii)
               confirm that the Confirmation correctly set forth the terms of
               the transaction to which the Confirmation relates by signing the
               Confirmation and returning it to Party A, or (iii) achieve an
               exchange of Confirmations as intended by section 9(e)(ii) of the
               Master Agreement by sending a Confirmation to Party A which
               agrees with the terms of the Confirmation sent by Party A to
               Party B.

          (2)  Any Specified Transaction into which the parties have entered or
               may enter and in respect of which confirming evidence does not
               expressly exclude the application of this Agreement shall be
               governed by this Agreement. Any such confirmation shall be a
               "Confirmation", and any such Specified Transaction shall be
               deemed to constitute a Transaction for the purpose of this
               Agreement. In particular, it is agreed that where in terms of
               standard industry practice confirmation is by SWIFT, such
               confirmation shall serve as a Confirmation irrespective of
               whether reference is made to this Agreement in such Confirmation
               and the appropriate definition booklets published by ISDA from
               time to time shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in
               such Confirmation.

     (v)  INCORPORATION OF PROTOCOL TERMS. The parties agree that the
          definitions and provisions contained in Annexes 1 to 5 and section 6
          of the EMU Protocol Published by the International Swap and
          Derivatives Association, Inc. on the 6th of May, 1998 are incorporated
          into and apply to this Agreement.

     (vi) DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise specified in a Confirmation, any term
          used in this Agreement which is defined in the ISDA 2000 Definitions,
          the 1997 ISDA Bullion Definitions and the 1993 ISDA Commodity
          Derivative Definitions as updated, amended or supplemented from time
          to time ("the ISDA Definitions") as published by the International
          Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (the "Definitions") shall bear
          the meaning ascribed to them in the Definitions when used in this
          Agreement. The provisions of the Definitions are incorporated by
          reference to and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. In the
          event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement
          and the Definitions, this Agreement will prevail. In the event of any
          inconsistency between this Agreement and the Confirmation, the
          Confirmation will prevail.

                                     PART 6

                      FX AND CURRENCY OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the purposes of
any Transaction hereunder which by its terms incorporates (or is deemed to
incorporate) the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions (the "1998
Definitions"), the following provisions shall apply:

(1)  SECTION 3.6(B)(I) - EFFECTIVENESS OF NOTICE OF EXERCISE - of the 1998
     Definitions is amended to read as follows:

     "(i) In the case of an American Style Option, a Notice of Exercise with
          respect to a Currency Option Transaction becomes effective (unless
          otherwise agreed): if received prior to 10:00 a.m. New York time on a
          Banking Day upon receipt thereof by Seller, and if received at any
          other time, only as of the opening of business of Seller on the first
          such Banking Day subsequent to receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          when the Seller is located in the Pacific Rim. 3:00 p.m. Tokyo time
          shall apply."

(2)  SECTION 3.4(B) - PREMIUM PAYMENT DATE - of the 1998 Definitions is amended
     by adding the following at the end thereof:

     If any Premium is not received on the Premium Payment Date, the Seller may
     elect: (1) to accept a late payment of such Premium or (2) to give written
     notice of such non-payment and, if such payment shall not be received
     within two (2) Local Business Days of such notice, treat the related
     Currency Option Transaction as void. The Buyer shall pay all out-of-pocket
     costs and actual damages incurred in connection with such unpaid or late
     Premium or void Currency Option Transaction (including, without limitation,
     a delta hedge and interest on such Premium at the Default Rate) with
     respect to such Currency Option.

(3)  The following "TERMINATION AND DISCHARGE OF CURRENCY OPTION TRANSACTIONS
     provision shall be added as Section 3.9 to the 1998 Definitions:

     "Unless otherwise agreed, any Currency Option Transaction written by a
     party will automatically be terminated and discharged, in whole or in part,
     as applicable, against a Currency Option Transaction written by the other
     party, such termination and discharge to occur automatically upon the
     payment in full of the last Premium payable in respect of such Currency
     Option Transactions; PROVIDED THAT such termination and discharge may only
     occur in respect of Currency Option Transactions:

     (a)  each being with respect to the same Put Currency and the same Call
          Currency;

     (b)  each having the same Expiration Date and Expiration Time;

     (c)  each being of the same style, i.e., either both being American,
          Bermuda, or European;

     (d)  each having the same Strike Price;

     (e)  neither of which shall have been exercised by delivery of a Notice of
          Exercise; and

     (f)  which have been booked into by the Head Office of Party A and by any
          Offices of Party B;

     and, upon the occurrence of such termination and discharge, neither party
     shall have any further obligation to the other party in respect of the
     relevant Currency Option Transactions or, as the case may be, parts thereof
     so terminated and discharged. In the case of a partial termination and
     discharge (i.e., where the relevant Currency Option Transactions are for
     different amounts of a Currency Pair), the remaining portion of the
     Currency Option Transaction which is partially discharged and terminated
     shall continue to be a Currency Option Transaction for all purposes of this
     Master Agreement, including this Section.
