10.      POWER TO REMEDY

10.1     ENTRY, POSSESSION AND POWER TO REMEDY

         The Company shall upon 5 days prior notice (except if an Enforcement
         Event has occurred and is continuing, where no prior notice shall be
         required) permit the Security Trustee and/or its representatives,
         agents or contractors free access at reasonable times to enter or take
         possession of all or any part of the Secured Assets to:

         (a)      view the state and condition of the same;

         (b)      comply with or object to any direction or notice or other
                  matter served on the Company; or

         (c)      carry out any repairs or take any other action (including the
                  payment of money) which the Security Trustee shall consider
                  necessary or desirable in connection with such Secured Assets
                  to remedy any failure to comply with any covenant contained in
                  Clause 9 (Specific Covenants),

         and in any such case without becoming liable to account as mortgagee in
         possession;

         provided, however, that the Security Trustee acknowledges that, in
         exercising the rights and privileges conferred in this Clause 10.1, it
         or its agents, representatives or contactors may, from time to time,
         obtain knowledge of information, practices, books, correspondence and
         records of a confidential nature and in which the Company has a
         proprietary interest. The Security Trustee agrees that all such
         information, practices, books, correspondence and records are to be
         regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall retain in
         strict confidence and shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that
         its agents and representatives retain in strict confidence, and will
         not disclose without the prior written consent of the Company, any such
         information, practices, books, correspondence and records furnished to
         them except that the Security Trustee may disclose such information (i)
         to its officers, directors, employees, agents, legal advisers,
         accountants, auditors, affiliates, advisors or representatives
         (provided that such persons are informed of the confidential nature of
         such information); (ii) to the extent such information has become
         available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or
         through the Security Trustee or its officers, directors, employees,
         agents, legal advisers, accountants, auditors, affiliates, advisors or
         representatives; (iii) to the extent such information was available to
         the Security Trustee on a non-confidential basis prior to its
         disclosure to the Security Trustee hereunder; (iv) to the extent the
         Security Trustee is (A) required in connection with any legal or
         regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any bank or other regulatory
         authority to disclose such information; (v) to any prospective assignee
         of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured
         Liabilities; provided,



                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>
         however, that the Security Trustee shall notify such assignee of the
         confidentiality provisions of this Clause 10.1 and such assignee shall
         agree to be bound thereby; or (vi) to any Bank, subject to the
         confidentiality provisions contained in this Debenture and the Credit
         Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which it is a party, upon the
         request of such party following the occurrence and during the
         continuance of any Enforcement Event (but with no obligation on the
         part of any such Bank to return such information to the Security
         Trustee or the Company if any such Enforcement Event is subsequently
         cured or waived).

10.2     INSURANCES

         If the Company shall fail to comply with any of its obligations as to
         insurance, the Security Trustee may, but shall not be required to, take
         out, renew or maintain such insurance either in its own name, in its
         name and that of the Company jointly or in the name of the Company with
         the Security Trustee's interest noted on the policy, in such sum as the
         Security Trustee may think expedient.

10.3     INDEMNITY

         The Company shall on demand indemnify the Security Trustee and the
         Banks on a full indemnity basis in respect of any and all costs,
         damages and expenses incurred by the Security Trustee or the Banks
         pursuant to Clauses 10.1 (Entry, possession and power to remedy) and
         10.2 (Insurances), together with interest at the Default Rate from the
         date of payment by the Security Trustee or the Banks until repayment,
         whether before or after judgment and notwithstanding any release or
         discharge of all or any part of the Security, indemnify the Security
         Trustee and the Banks on a full indemnity basis in respect of any and
         all actions, proceedings, demands, claims, losses, liabilities, costs
         and expenses arising as a result of any breach of Clause 9 (Specific
         Covenants) or otherwise relating to all or any part of the Secured
         Assets save to any costs, charges or expenses incurred as a result of
         the Security Trustee's own negligence or wilful default.

11.      ENFORCEMENT

11.1     ENFORCEMENT

         On or at any time after the occurrence of an Enforcement Event:

         (a)      the Security Trustee shall cease to be under any further
                  commitment to the Company and may at any time (notwithstanding
                  any conflicting agreement or arrangement) declare the Secured
                  Liabilities (or such of them as the Security Trustee may
                  specify) to be immediately due and payable or payable
                  immediately on demand; and

         (b)      the Security shall become immediately enforceable and the
                  power of sale and other powers conferred by the Conveyancing
                  Acts as varied or extended by this Debenture and all the
                  powers, authorities and discretions conferred by this


                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>
                  Debenture expressly or by implication on any Receiver or
                  otherwise conferred by statute or common law on mortgagees or
                  receivers shall become immediately exercisable by the Security
                  Trustee, whether or not it shall have appointed a Receiver,
                  without the restrictions contained in the Conveyancing Acts as
                  to the giving of notice or otherwise.

11.2     POWER OF SALE

         Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event,
         the statutory powers of sale and of appointing a receiver conferred by
         Section 19 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act, 1881 will
         immediately arise and be exercisable by the Security Trustee free from
         the restrictions contained in Section 20 of that Act.

11.3     CONSOLIDATION

         The restriction on the consolidation of mortgages contained in Section
         17 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act, 1881 shall not apply to
         this Debenture or to any Security.

12.      APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER

12.1     APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER

         Without prejudice to any statutory or other powers of appointment of
         the Security Trustee under the Conveyancing Acts as extended by this
         Debenture or otherwise, on or at any time after the occurrence and
         during the continuance of an Enforcement Event or if the Company so
         requests in writing at any time the Security Trustee may without
         further notice to the Company appoint by writing under hand of a duly
         authorised officer or under seal any one or more persons qualified to
         act as a receiver, receiver and manager either solely, jointly,
         severally or jointly and severally to be a Receiver of all or any part
         of the Secured Assets and except as otherwise required by statute may
         remove any such Receiver and appoint another or others in his or their
         place. The forgoing powers of appointment of a receiver are in addition
         to and not to the prejudice of all statutory and other powers of the
         Security Trustee under the Conveyancing Acts (and so that any statutory
         power of sale would be exercisable without the restrictions contained
         in Sections 19 and 20 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act,
         1881) or otherwise, and so that such powers will be and remain
         exercisable by the Security Trustee in respect of any part of the
         Secured Assets in respect of which no appointment of a Receiver by the
         Security Trustee is for the time being subsisting, notwithstanding that
         an appointment under the powers of this Clause 12.1 shall have
         subsisted and been withdrawn in respect of that part of the Secured
         Assets or shall be subsisting in respect of any other part of the
         Secured Assets.

         shall state otherwise in the document appointing him.

12.5     LIABILITY OF SECURITY TRUSTEE AND RECEIVER

         (a)      Neither the Security Trustee nor any Receiver appointed under

                  mortgagees in possession in respect of any of the Secured
                  Assets or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any
                  neglect or default of any nature whatsoever (except to the

                  against all claims and demands in respect of such removal,

<PAGE>
         (e)      any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any
                  obligation of any person under any Document or any other
                  document or security; or

16.3     NEW ACCOUNT

         At any time following:

         shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when the
         notice was received or was deemed to have been received or, as the case
         may be, the Dissolution commenced from that time, all payments made by
         the Company to the Security Trustee or received by the Security Trustee
         for the account of the Company shall be credited or treated as having
         been credited to the new account and shall not operate to reduce the
         amount secured by this Debenture at the time when the Security Trustee
         received or was deemed to have received such notice or, as the case may
         be, the Dissolution commenced.

                  on account of the liability of any third party:

                  (i)      be subrogated to any rights of, or security or monies
                           held, received or receivable by, the Security Trustee
                           or the Banks or be entitled to any right of

                           third party or its estate in competition with the

                           against such third party.

                  transfer or assign to, the Security Trustee any payment or the
                  benefit of any security received by it in breach of this
                  Clause 16.4. If the Company exercises any right of set-off
                  contrary to the above, it will immediately pay an amount equal
                  to the amount set-off to the Security Trustee.

         Security Trustee nor any Receiver shall in any circumstances be liable
         to account to the Company for anything except its or his actual
         receipts or be liable to the Company for any loss or damage arising

17.      RETENTION OF SECURITY

17.1     AVOIDANCE OF PAYMENTS

         No assurance, security or payment which may be avoided or adjusted
         under any applicable law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or under
         any legislation binding on the Company in a jurisdiction other than
         Ireland and no release, settlement, discharge or arrangement given or
         made by the Security Trustee on the faith of any such assurance,
         security or payment shall prejudice or affect the right of the Security
         Trustee or the Banks to recover from the Company and from the Security
         the Secured Liabilities (including any monies which it may have been
         compelled by due process of law to refund under any relevant
         legislation any costs payable by it pursuant to or otherwise incurred
         by it in connection with such process).

17.2     REINSTATEMENT

         If any payment by the Company or any discharge given by the Security
         Trustee or any Bank (whether in respect of the obligations of the
         Company or any Security Interest for those obligations or otherwise) is
         avoided or reduced as a result of Dissolution:

         (a)      the liability of the Company shall continue as if the payment,
                  discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

         (b)      the Security Trustee and/or the Banks, as the case may be,
                  shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that

                  payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

<PAGE>
18.      CUSTODY

         The Security Trustee shall be entitled to provide for the safe custody
         by third parties of all certificates and documents of title relating to
         the Secured Assets and shall not be responsible for any loss or damage
         occurring to or in respect of the same unless such loss or damage
         arises as a result of the Security Trustee's negligence or wilful
         misconduct.

19.      DELEGATION

         The Security Trustee may at any time and from time to time delegate by
         power of attorney or in any other manner to any persons or persons all
         or any of the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the
         time being exercisable by the Security Trustee under this Debenture in
         relation to all or any part of the Secured Assets. Any such delegation
         may be made upon such terms (including power to sub-delegate) and
         subject to such conditions as the Security Trustee may think fit. The
         Security Trustee shall not be in any way liable or responsible to the
         Company for any loss or damage arising from any act, default, omission
         or misconduct on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate. Such
         delegation shall not preclude the subsequent exercise of such powers,
         authorities and discretions by the Security Trustee itself nor preclude
         the Security Trustee from making a subsequent delegation of the same to
         another person or from revoking any such delegation.

20.      PRIOR CHARGES

         In the event of there being a prior Security Interest to the Security
         and proceedings or steps being taken to exercise or enforce any powers
         or remedies conferred by such prior Security Interest against all or
         any of the Secured Assets, the Security Trustee or any Receiver
         appointed under this Debenture in respect of such Secured Assets may
         (but without prejudice to any other rights of a Receiver) redeem such
         prior Security Interest or procure its transfer to itself or such
         Receiver, as the case may be, and may settle and pass the accounts of
         any prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrance. Any account so settled and
         passed shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and all the
         principal, money, interest, costs, charges and expenses of and
         incidental to such redemption or transfer shall be paid to the Security
         Trustee on demand together with interest at the Default Rate on the
         same from the earlier of the date of demand and the date of payment by
         the Security Trustee until the date of payment by the Company, whether
         before or after judgment. All the powers, authorities and discretions
         conferred by a prior Security Interest upon any prior mortgagee,
         chargee or encumbrancer or any receiver under such prior Security
         Interest shall be exercisable by the Security Trustee or a Receiver in
         a like manner as if the same were expressly included in this Debenture
         and the Security Trustee or such Receiver shall be entitled to exercise
         all the powers, authorities and discretions of a receiver, receiver and
         manager or administrative receiver appointed under such prior Security
         Interest.

21.      SET-OFF

         Without prejudice to any rights the Security Trustee may have at law,
         in equity or otherwise, following an Enforcement Event, the Security
         Trustee or the Banks may, without notice to the Company, combine or
         consolidate all or any sums standing to the credit of the Company's
         accounts with the Security Trustee or the Banks with the Secured
         Liabilities and/or set-off or transfer any such sums in or towards the
         satisfaction of any of the Secured Liabilities and may do so
         notwithstanding that the balances on such accounts and such Secured
         Liabilities may not be expressed in the same currency or any specified
         maturity of such deposits and for the purpose of exercising any rights
         under this Clause or applicable law the Security Trustee or the Banks
         is authorised to effect any necessary conversions at the Security
         Trustee or the Banks' own rate of exchange then prevailing. Neither the
         Security Trustee nor the Banks shall be obliged to exercise any right
         given to it by this Clause.

22.      CURRENCY INDEMNITY

         If any sum due from the Company under this Debenture or any order or
         judgment given or made in relation to this Debenture has to be
         converted from the currency (the "FIRST CURRENCY") in which the same is
         payable into another currency (the "SECOND CURRENCY") for the purpose
         of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Company, (b)
         obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal, (c)
         enforcing any order or judgment given or made, or (d) applying the same
         in satisfaction of any of the Secured Liabilities, the Company shall,
         as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless
         the Security Trustee or the Banks from and against any loss suffered as
         a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for
         such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency
         into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at
         which the Security Trustee or the Banks may in the ordinary course of
         business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon
         receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of
         any such order, judgment, claim or proof or for application in
         satisfaction of the Secured Liabilities.

                          GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT

35.      GOVERNING LAW

         This Debenture is governed by Irish law.

36.      ENFORCEMENT

36.1     JURISDICTION OF IRISH COURTS

         (a)      The courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction to settle
                  any dispute arising out of or in connection with this
                  Debenture (including a dispute regarding the existence,
                  validity or termination of this Debenture) (a "DISPUTE").

         (b)      The Parties agree that the courts of Ireland are the most
                  appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and
                  accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

         (c)      This Clause 36.1 is for the benefit of the Security Trustee
                  and the Banks only. As a result, neither the Security Trustee

                  relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.
                  To the extent allowed by law, the Security Trustee or the
                  Banks may take concurrent proceedings in any number of
                  jurisdictions.
