CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON LLC
Eleven Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10010-3629

Dear Sirs:

         Burns Philp Capital Pty Limited (ACN 100 768 803), an Australian
corporation (the "AUSTRALIAN ISSUER"), and Burns Philp Capital (U.S.) Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "U.S. ISSUER" and, collectively with the Australian
Issuer, the "ISSUERS"), propose to issue and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston
LLC (the "INITIAL PURCHASER"), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement
(the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") dated as of June 2, 2003, U.S.$100,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of their 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 2010 (the "INITIAL
SECURITIES") to be guaranteed (the "GUARANTIES") by Burns, Philp & Company
Limited (ACN 000 000 359) (the "PARENT") and the subsidiary guarantors named in
Schedule A herein (the "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS", together with the Parent, the
"GUARANTORS" and, collectively with the Issuers, the "COMPANY"). The Initial
Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the "INDENTURE"), dated as
of June 16, 2003, among the Issuers, the Guarantors named therein and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"). As an inducement
to the Initial Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company
agrees with the Initial Purchaser, for the benefit of the Initial Purchaser and
the holders of the Securities (as defined below) (collectively the "HOLDERS"),
as follows:

         1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless not permitted by applicable law
(after the Company has complied with the ultimate paragraph of this Section 1),
the Company shall prepare and, not later than 120 days (such 120th day being the
"EXCHANGE OFFER FILING DEADLINE") after the date on which the Initial Purchaser
purchases the Initial Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the
"CLOSING DATE"), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") a registration statement (the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"SECURITIES ACT"), with respect to a proposed offer (the "REGISTERED EXCHANGE
OFFER") to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section
6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to offer to such Holders, in
exchange for surrender of the

                                                                               2

Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the
Company issued under the Indenture, identical in all material respects to the
Initial Securities and registered under the Securities Act (the "EXCHANGE
SECURITIES"). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause
such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the
Securities Act within 210 days after the Closing Date (such 210th day being the
"EXCHANGE OFFER EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") and (ii) keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if
required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange
Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the "EXCHANGE OFFER
REGISTRATION PERIOD").

         If the Company commences the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company (i)
shall be entitled to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after such
commencement (provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities
theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered
Exchange Offer) and (ii) shall be required to consummate the Registered Exchange
Offer no later than 40 days after the date on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is declared effective (such 40th day being the
"CONSUMMATION DEADLINE").

         Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, the Company shall as soon as practicable commence the
Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange
Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined below)
electing to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming
that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such
Holder's business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or
policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to
trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any
limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material
restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United
States.

         The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by
the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an
applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer
electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a
result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Securities (an "EXCHANGING DEALER") is required to deliver a prospectus
containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b)
Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures" section and the "Purpose of
the Exchange Offer" section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the "Plan of
Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such
Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) the Initial Purchaser, if it elects to sell
Securities (as defined below) acquired in exchange for Initial Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, is required to deliver a
prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.

                                                                               3

         The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully
delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such
requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that
(i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto
must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or the Initial Purchaser, such period
shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and
the Initial Purchaser have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless
such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company
shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange
Securities for a period of not less than 180 days after the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer.

         If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Initial
Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial
distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to
the Initial Purchaser upon the written request of the Initial Purchaser, in
exchange (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE") for the Initial Securities held by the Initial
Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company issued
under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial
Securities (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the
Securities Act and under the laws of other jurisdictions, but excluding
provisions relating to matters described in Section 6 hereof) (the "PRIVATE
EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the
Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the "SECURITIES".

         In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

                  (a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part
         of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
         appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

                  (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than
         30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date
         notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;

                  (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered
         Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
         New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;

                  (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time
         prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day
         on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

                  (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws.

                                                                               4

         As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer
or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:

                  (x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered
         and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer or the
         Private Exchange;

                  (y) deliver to the Trustee for cancelation all the Initial
         Securities so accepted for exchange; and

                  (z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to
         each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private
         Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to
         the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

         The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be
subject to the United States transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture
and that all the Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one
class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as
a class separate from one another on any matter.

         Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will
accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the
Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been
paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial
Securities.

         Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder
will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have
no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of
the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule
405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder
will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a
broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the
distribution of the Exchange Securities, (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer,
that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for
Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it
will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange
Securities, and (vi) such Holder will comply with all transfer restrictions that
continue to apply to such Exchange Securities following the Exchange Offer.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure
that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and
any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, (ii) any

<PAGE>

                                                                               5

Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when
it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus,
does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

         If following the date hereof there has been announced a change in
Commission policy with respect to exchange offers that in the reasonable opinion
of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the
Registered Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company
will seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission
allowing the Company to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company
will pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level. In
connection with the foregoing, the Company will take all such other actions as
may be requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the
issuance of such decision, including without limitation (i) participating in
telephonic conferences with the Commission, (ii) delivering to the Commission
staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal
bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that the Registered
Exchange Offer should be permitted and (iii) diligently pursuing a resolution
(which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff.

         2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in
applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Company
is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by
Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated by the
250th day after the Closing Date, (iii) the Initial Purchaser so requests with
respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not
eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange
Offer and held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or
(iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate
in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an
Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such
Holder does not receive Exchange Securities freely tradeable under the
Securities Act on the date of the exchange and any such Holder so requests, the
Company shall take the following actions (the date on which any of the
conditions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) occur, including
in the case of clauses (iii) or (iv) the receipt of the required notice, being a
"TRIGGER DATE"):

                  (a) The Company shall promptly (but in no event more than 30
         days after the Trigger Date (such 30th day being the "SHELF FILING
         DEADLINE" and, together with the Exchange Offer Filing Deadline, the
         "FILING DEADLINE")) file with the Commission and (i) in the case of
         clause (i) above, thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause
         to be declared effective no later than the Exchange Offer Effectiveness
         Deadline and (ii) in the case of clauses (ii) through (iv) above,
         thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared
         effective no later

<PAGE>

                                                                               6

         than the 90th day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (such 90th day being
         the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE" and, together
         with the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Deadline, an "EFFECTIVENESS
         DEADLINE"), a registration statement, including any amendment (pre or
         post-effective) or supplement thereto (the "SHELF REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT" and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement, a "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the
         Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer
         Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in
         accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf
         Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act
         (hereinafter, the "SHELF REGISTRATION"); provided, however, that no
         Holder (other than the Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the
         Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement
         unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions
         of this Agreement applicable to such Holder.

                  (b) Not less than 30 days prior to the Effective Time, mail
         the Notice and Questionnaire (as defined below) to the holders of
         Transfer Restricted Securities; no Holder shall be entitled to be named
         as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement as of
         the Effective Time, and no Holder shall be entitled to use the
         prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Transfer Restricted
         Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned a completed and
         signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company by the deadline for
         response set forth therein; provided, however, Holders of Transfer
         Restricted Securities shall have at least 28 days from the date on
         which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such Holders to
         return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company.

                  (c) After the Effective Time, upon the request of any Holder
         of Transfer Restricted Securities that is not then an Electing Holder
         (as defined below), promptly send a Notice and Questionnaire to such
         Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required to take any
         action to name such Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
         Registration Statement or to enable such Holder to use the prospectus
         forming a part thereof for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities
         until such Holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and
         Questionnaire to the Company.

                  (d) As soon as practicable prepare and file with the
         Commission such amendments and supplements to such Shelf Registration
         Statement and the prospectus included therein as may be reasonably
         necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such Shelf
         Registration Statement for the benefit of all Electing Holders for the
         period specified in Section 2(e) hereof and as may be required by the
         applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the instructions
         to the form of such Shelf Registration Statement, and, if required,
         cause any such amendments to be declared effective by the Commission,
         and furnish to each of the Electing Holders such copies as each
         Electing Holder may reasonably request of any such supplement or
         amendment simultaneously with or prior to its being used or filed with
         the Commission.

                                                                               7

                  (e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep
         the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to
         permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the
         Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for
         such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the
         date of its effectiveness or such shorter period that will terminate
         when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i)
         have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer restricted
         securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any
         successor rule thereof); provided, however, that the Company may delay
         filing and distributing any such supplement or amendment (and continue
         the suspension of the use of the prospectus) if the Company determines
         in good faith that such supplement or amendment would, in the
         reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) interfere with or affect the
         negotiation or completion of a transaction that is being contemplated
         by the Company, or (ii) involve initial or continuing disclosure
         obligations that are not in the best interests of the Company's
         stockholders at such time; provided further that neither such delay nor
         such suspension shall extend for a period of more than 45 consecutive
         days or an aggregate of 90 days in any twelve-month period. The Company
         shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep
         the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period
         if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of
         Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such
         Securities during that period, unless such action is permitted pursuant
         to the preceding sentence or required by applicable law.

                  (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to
         the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement
         and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as
         of each effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment
         or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the
         applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
         regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
         to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
         therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
         misleading.

                  (g) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall
         have following respective meanings:

                  "EFFECTIVE TIME" with respect to a Shelf Registration
         Statement shall mean the time and date as of which the Commission
         declares the Shelf Registration Statement effective or as of which the
         Shelf Registration Statement otherwise become effective.

                  "ELECTING HOLDER" shall mean any Holder of Transfer Restricted
         Securities that has returned a completed and signed Notice and
         Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof.

                                                                               8

                  "NOTICE AND QUESTIONNAIRE" means a Selling Securityholder
         Notice and Questionnaire substantially in the form of Exhibit A
         attached hereto.

         3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration
contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered
Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall
apply:

                  (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to the Initial Purchaser,
         prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the
         Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement,
         if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that the
         Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment
         from the original offering) is participating in the Registered Exchange
         Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its
         reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed
         with the Commission, such comments as the Initial Purchaser reasonably
         may propose; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto
         on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures"
         section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section and in Annex C
         hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of the prospectus forming
         a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and include the
         information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal
         delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested
         by the Initial Purchaser, include the information required by Items 507
         or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in
         the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement; (iv) include within the prospectus contained in the Exchange
         Offer Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan of Distribution,"
         reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser, which shall contain a
         summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff
         of the Commission with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of
         any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
         13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
         "Exchange Act")) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer
         in the Registered Exchange Offer (a "PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER"),
         whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by
         the staff of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the
         reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchaser based upon advice of
         counsel (which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views
         of the staff of the Commission; (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration
         Statement, include the names of the Electing Holders who propose to
         sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement as selling
         securityholders; and (vi) in the event the Company receives a Notice
         and Questionnaire from an Electing Holder after the Effective Time,
         promptly take all necessary actions to name such Electing Holder as a
         selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and, in the
         event a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement is
         required, cause such amendment to be declared effective as promptly as
         practicable after receipt of such Notice and Questionnaire.

                  (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial
         Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities and any Participating
         Broker-Dealer from whom the Company has received prior written notice
         that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered
         Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall
         be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus
         until the requisite changes have been made):

                           (i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment
                  thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the
                  Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
                  has become effective;

                           (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments

                           (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
                  order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
                  Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
                  purpose;

                           (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal
                  counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of
                  the qualification of the Securities for sale in any
                  jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
                  proceeding for such purpose; and

                           (v) of the happening of any event that requires the
                  Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the
                  prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the
                  prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material
                  fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated
                  therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
                  case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
                  which they were made) not misleading.

                  (c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain
         the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending
         the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

                  (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities
         included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge,
         at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any
         post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
         schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits

         statements and schedules, and, if the Initial Purchaser or any such
         Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by

                  (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period,
         deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of
         the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the
         prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the
         Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as
         such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to
         the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any
         amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the
         Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities
         covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
         included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

                  (g) The Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchaser, any
         Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other
         persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered
         Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus
         included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment
         or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably request. The
         Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the
         use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the
         Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and
         such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the
         Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of
         the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or
         supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement.

                  (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to
         any Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or
         cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their
         respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification
         of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky"
         laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the
         Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts
         or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such
         jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement;
         provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i)
         qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
         then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to
         general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it
         is not then so subject.

                  (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the
         Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
         certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any
         Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
         denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a
         reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to
         such Registration Statement.

                  (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
         paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for
         which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration
         Statement, the Company shall

                                                                              11

         promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the
         Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and
         any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders
         of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not
         contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchaser,
         the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer
         in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to
         suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the
         prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchaser, the Holders of
         the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend
         use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf
         Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the
         Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above
         shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the
         date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the
         Initial Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities and any known
         Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or
         supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j).

                  (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable
         Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the
         Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may
         be, and provide the applicable trustee with printed certificates for
         the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case
         may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust
         Company.

                  (l) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of
         the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the
         Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make
         generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in
         accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings
         statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
         Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90
         days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month
         of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective
         date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such
         12-month period.

                  (m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified
         under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner
         and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such
         qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the
         appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall
         appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions
         of the Indenture.

                  (n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be
         sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the
         Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of
         the Securities as the

<PAGE>

                                                                              12

         Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the
         Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such
         registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to
         furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such
         request.

                  (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements
         (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form
         for an underwritten public offering by a foreign private issuer (within
         the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), giving effect to
         such variations as are reasonably required or appropriate for a foreign
         private issuer organized under Australian law) and take all such other
         action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably
         request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities
         pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

                  (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall
         (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the
         Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
         to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or
         other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such
         underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
         corporate documents and properties of the Company during normal
         business hours at the office where normally kept and (ii) cause the
         Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to
         supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of
         the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent
         in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as
         shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a
         reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
         Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and
         information gathering shall be coordinated by you and on behalf of the
         other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other
         parties as described in Section 4 hereof; and provided further that any
         information that is designated in writing by the Company as
         confidential at the time of delivery, shall be kept confidential by the
         Holder or by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or other agent
         except to the extent such information is required to be, and has been,
         disclosed in the Shelf Registration Statement.

                  (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if
         requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall use its
         reasonable best efforts to cause (i) its counsel to deliver or cause to
         be delivered an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities
         in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing
         underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial
         opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it
         being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall
         include in addition to the opinions set forth in Sections 6(d) - 6(g)
         of the Purchase Agreement, opinions in respect of such additional
         matters as are customary to be included in opinions for an underwritten
         public offering by a foreign private issuer (within the meaning of Rule
         405 under the Securities Act) of securities substantially similar to
         the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, giving
         effect to such

<PAGE>

                                                                              13

         variations as are reasonably required or appropriate for a foreign
         private issuer organized under Australian law; (ii) its officers to
         execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and
         updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable
         Securities; and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide to
         the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter
         therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the
         type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary
         underwritten offerings by such foreign private issuers, subject to
         receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if
         permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.

                  (r) In the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if requested
         by the Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the
         Company shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver to the Initial Purchaser
         or such Participating Broker-Dealer a signed opinion in the form set
         forth in Sections 6(d) - (g) of the Purchase Agreement with such
         changes as are customary in connection with the preparation of a
         Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants to
         deliver to the Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a
         comfort letter, in customary form, meeting the requirements as to the
         substance thereof as set forth in Section 6(a) of the Purchase
         Agreement, with appropriate date changes.

                  (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to
         be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to
         the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in
         exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
         Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to be
         marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial
         Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities
         or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event
         shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

                  (t) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) if
         the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of
         such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the
         Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial
         Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a
         Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating
         agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement,
         or by the managing underwriters, if any.

                  (u) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the
         Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member
         of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or "assist in the
         distribution" (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the "RULES") of
         the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) thereof,
         whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a
         placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or
         otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with
         the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i)
         if such Rules,

         including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a "qualified
         independent underwriter" (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in
         the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such
         Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect
         thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such
         Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a
         placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities,
         (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the
         extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5
         hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as
         may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the
         requirements of the Rules.

                  (v) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take
         all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities
         covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

         4. Registration Expenses.

                  (a) All expenses incident to the Company's performance of and
         compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless
         of whether a Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes effective,
         including without limitation;

                           (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses;

         5. Indemnification.

                  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each

         Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
         Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling
         persons are referred to collectively as the "Indemnified Parties") from
         and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
         several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited
         to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to
         purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party
         may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
         otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
         actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
         untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration
         Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
         any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise
         out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state
         therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as
         incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses
         reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
         defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect
         thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in
         any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability
         arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
         statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration
         Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
         any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance
         upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such
         Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder
         specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue
         statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in
         any

                                                                              16

         preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the
         indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to
         the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the
         person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
         purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that (i) a prospectus
         relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder
         or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection
         with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of
         such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from an untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
         in a preliminary offering or final prospectus that was corrected in all
         material respects in the final prospectus or an amendment or supplement
         thereto and there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to
         the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person,
         a copy of the final prospectus, as supplemented or amended, if the
         Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or
         Participating Broker-Dealer or (ii) the indemnified party, after
         receiving notice from the Company prior to the date of delivery of a
         copy of the prospectus, of any event described in Sections 3(b)(ii)
         through (v) hereto, thereafter failed to discontinue delivery of such
         prospectus, as it may be supplemented or amended; provided further,
         however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
         liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified
         Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers
         and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the
         meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as
         provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of
         the Securities if requested by such Holders.

                  (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly,
         will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Company's
         directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the
         Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
         from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any
         actions in respect thereof, to which the Company, any such directors
         and officers, or any such controlling person may become subject under
         the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such
         losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are
         based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
         material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in
         any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus
         relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the
         omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary
         to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to
         the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
         statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
         written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the
         Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion
         therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding
         this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or
         other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
         controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any
         loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This
         indemnity agreement will be in

<PAGE>

                                                                              17

         addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the
         Company or any of its controlling persons.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
         Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
         (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will,
         if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
         party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the
         commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
         party will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any
         obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
         obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such
         action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
         indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
         will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
         wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
         assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
         such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
         indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after
         notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
         election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will
         not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any
         legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation,
         subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
         defense thereof. In no event shall an indemnifying party be liable for
         fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local
         counsel) separate from its own counsel, for all indemnified parties in
         connection with any one action or separate but similar or related
         actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
         allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the
         prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement
         of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified
         party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
         sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)
         includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
         liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and
         (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
         culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
         party.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
         unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
         subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
         contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
         result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such
         proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
         indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party
         on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that
         resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable
         considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined
         by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
         untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
         to state a material fact

<PAGE>

                                                                              18

         relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such
         Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the
         other, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
         information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
         omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first
         sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
         other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
         connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is
         the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision
         of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be
         required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
         net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities
         pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages
         which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of
         such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
         omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
         meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
         contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
         misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if
         any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the
         Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
         contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who
         controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
         Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

                  (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive
         the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and
         shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or
         cancelation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf
         of any indemnified party.

         6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances.

                  (a) Additional interest (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST") with
         respect to the Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the
         following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iv)
         below being herein called a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"):

                           (i) any Registration Statement required by this
                  Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the
                  applicable Filing Deadline;

                           (ii) any Registration Statement required by this
                  Agreement is not declared effective by the Commission on or
                  prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline;

                           (iii) the Registered Exchange Offer has not been
                  consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline; or

                           (iv) any Registration Statement required by this
                  Agreement has been declared effective by the Commission but
                  (A) such Registration

<PAGE>

                                                                              19

                  Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) such
                  Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be
                  usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted
                  Securities during the periods specified herein because either
                  (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related
                  prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would
                  include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
                  state any material fact necessary to make the statements
                  therein in the light of the circumstances under which they
                  were made not misleading, or (2) it shall be necessary to
                  amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related
                  prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange
                  Act or the respective rules thereunder and, in the case of any
                  such amendments or supplements related solely to naming
                  additional Electing Holders as selling securityholders under a
                  Shelf Registration Statement, such amendments or supplements
                  are not filed and declared effective by the Commission within
                  five business days of the Company's receipt of the applicable
                  Notice and Questionnaire.

         Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever
         the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or
         involuntary or is beyond the control of the Company or pursuant to
         operation of law or as a result of any action or inaction by the
         Commission.

         Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities over and above the
         interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including
         the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but
         excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been
         cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST RATE")
         for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
         such Registration Default. The Additional Interest Rate shall increase
         by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day
         period until the date on which all Registration Defaults have been
         cured, up to a maximum Additional Interest Rate of 1.0% per annum.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Interest shall not accrue on
         any Security that is no longer a Transfer Restricted Security.

                  (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iv)
         hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in
         relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if
         (i) such Registration Default has occurred principally as a result of
         (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration
         Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with
         respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet
         effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use
         the related prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to
         the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration
         Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y),
         the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or
         supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to
         describe such events; provided, however, that in the case of (y), the
         Company may delay filing and distributing any such supplement or
         amendment (and continue the

<PAGE>

                                                                              20

         suspension of the use of the prospectus) if the Company determines in
         good faith that such supplement or amendment would, in the reasonable
         judgment of the Company, (A) interfere with or affect the negotiation
         or completion of a transaction that is being contemplated by the
         Company, or (B) involve initial or continuing disclosure obligations
         that are not in the best interests of the Company's stockholders at
         such time; provided further that neither such delay nor such suspension
         shall extend for a period of more than 45 consecutive days or an
         aggregate of 90 days in any twelve-month period; provided further that
         in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period
         in excess of 45 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in
         accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration
         Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.

                  (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section
         6(a) will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with
         respect to the Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be
         determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by
         the principal amount of the Securities and further multiplied by a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional
         Interest Rate was applicable during such period (determined on the
         basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the
         denominator of which is 360.

                  (d) "TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES" means each Security until
         (i) the date on which such Security has been exchanged by a person
         other than a broker-dealer for an Exchange Security freely transferable
         under the Securities Act in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii)
         following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange
         Offer of an Initial Security for an Exchange Note, the date on which
         such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such
         broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the
         prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
         (iii) the date on which such Security has been effectively registered
         under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf
         Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Security is
         distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
         or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

         7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not
required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of
Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to
permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company
covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Holder to sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the
Company by the Initial Purchaser upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of
Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver

<PAGE>

                                                                              21

to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be
deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the
Exchange Act.

         8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers
that will administer the offering ("MANAGING UNDERWRITERS") will be selected by
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer
Restricted Securities to be included in such offering.

         No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.

         9. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any
         failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 1
         and 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial
         Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law,
         that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
         precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial
         Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to
         specifically enforce the Company's obligations under Sections 1 and 2
         hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action
         for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                  (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or
         after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect
         to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
         Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
         hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way
         conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the
         holders of the Company's securities under any agreement in effect on
         the date hereof.

                  (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement
         may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
         to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by
         the Company and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment,
         modification, supplement, waiver or consents. Without the consent of
         the Holder of each Security, however, no modification may change the
         provisions relating to the payment of Additional Interest.
         Notwithstanding the above, the parties hereto agree that if a
         Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its obligations under Article 11
         of the Indenture, pursuant to

                  (e) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Holders shall be third
         party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the
         Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand,
         and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the

         their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

                  (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
         upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

                  (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
         of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts,
         each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and

         agreement.

                  (h) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
         convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect
         the meaning hereof.

                  (j) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions

         affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such
         subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of
         their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining

         served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
         Agreement that may be instituted in any federal or state court in the
         State of

                                                                              24

         New York or brought under federal or state securities laws, and
         acknowledges that CT Corporation System has accepted such designation,
         (ii) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any
         such suit or proceeding (except for Burns Philp Food, S.A., which
         submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts), and (iii) agrees
         that service of process upon CT Corporation System and written notice
         of said service to the Company shall be deemed in every respect
         effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding.
         The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the
         execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as
         may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of CT
         Corporation System in full force and effect so long as any of the
         Securities shall be outstanding. To the extent that the Company may
         acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal
         process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to
         judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with
         respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such
         immunity in respect of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted
         by law.

                  (m) German Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
         incorporated in Germany shall not be liable for any obligations under
         this Agreement if and to the extent, at the time of enforcement of the
         relevant obligations, payments with respect to such obligations, would
         not be allowed pursuant to Sec. 30 of the German GmbH-Gesetz (German
         Act on Limited Liability Companies) in order to preserve the registered
         share capital (Stammkapital) of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or of
         the partners of Deutsche Hefewerke GmbH & Co. OHG (Gessellschafter), as
         the case may be.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter
of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities
where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed
that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it
will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."

         Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account in exchange for Initial Securities, where such Initial Securities were
acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See "Plan of
Distribution."

                                                                         ANNEX C

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make
this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until, 200 , all dealers
effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a
prospectus.(1)

         The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time
in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a
combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time
of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated
prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through
brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or
concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange
Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker
or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or
concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by
acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act.

         For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will
promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents
in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the
Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers
or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

6.                Plan of distribution:

                  Except as set forth below, the undersigned (including its
                  donees or pledgees) intends to distribute the registrable
                  securities listed above in Item (3) pursuant to the shelf
                  registration statement (or any additional registration
                  statement related thereto) only as follows (if at all). Such
                  registrable securities may be sold from time to time directly
                  by the undersigned or, alternatively, through underwriters, in
                  accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement,
                  broker-dealers or agents. If the registrable securities are
                  sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling
                  securityholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts
                  or commissions or agent's commissions. Such registrable
                  securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed
                  prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at
                  varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at
                  negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in transactions
                  (which may involve block transactions) (i) on any national
                  securities exchange or quotation service on which the
                  registrable securities may be listed or quoted at the time of
                  sale, (ii) in the over-the-counter market, (iii) otherwise
                  than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter
                  market, or (iv) through the writing of options. In connection
                  with sales of the registrable securities or otherwise, the
                  undersigned may enter into hedging transactions with
                  broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
                  registrable securities and deliver registrable securities to
                  close out such short positions, or loan or pledge registrable
                  securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such
                  securities.

                  State any exceptions here:

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