               and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor
               itself had given the notices and instructions (including, without
               limitation, any Utilisation Requests) or executed or made the
               agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations,

               Agent under any Finance Document on behalf of another Obligor or
               in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to
               any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such
               other Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance Document) shall
               be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor
               had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of
               any conflict between any notices or other communications of the
               Obligors' Agent and any other Obligor, those of the Obligors'
               Agent shall prevail.

               basis of the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of
               calculation.

               Amount under paragraph (a) of this Clause 6.7.

               a Letter of Credit requested by it (or requested by the Parent on
               its behalf) and which appears on its face to be in order (in this
               Clause 7, a "CLAIM").

        (b)    Each Borrower shall immediately on demand or, if such payment is
               being funded by a Revolving Facility Loan, shall within three

               Bank an amount equal to the amount of any claim.

        (c)    Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank:

               (i)    is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any
                      confirmation from any other person before paying a claim;
                      and

               (ii)   deals in documents only and will not be concerned with the
                      legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any
                      available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any
                      person.

        (d)    The obligations of a Borrower under this Clause 7 will not be
               affected by:

               (i)    the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or
                      any other document; or

               (ii)   any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any
                      person signing a claim or other document.

               Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Issuing

               negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the Issuing Bank
               under any Letter of Credit requested by (or on behalf of) that
               Borrower.

        (b)    Each Lender shall (according to its L/C Proportion) immediately
               on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or
               liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason
               of the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in
               acting as the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless the
               Issuing Bank has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a
               Finance Document).

        (c)    The Borrower which requested (or on behalf of which the Parent
               requested) a Letter of Credit shall immediately on demand
               reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to the Issuing Bank
               under this Clause 7.3 in respect of that Letter of Credit.

        (d)    The obligations of each Lender under this Clause are continuing

8.2     UNAVAILABILITY OF A CURRENCY
        If before the Specified Time on any Quotation Day:

        (a)    a Lender notifies the Facility Agent that the Optional Currency
               requested is not readily available to it in the amount required;

        the Facility Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that

        in the Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender's
        proportion of the Base Currency Amount, or in respect of a Rollover
        Loan, an amount equal to that Lender's proportion of the Base Currency

        participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in the Base
        Currency during that Interest Period.

8.3     FACILITY AGENT'S CALCULATIONS

               (b)(vi) of Clause 25.16 (FINANCIAL INDEBTEDNESS).

10.1    REPAYMENT OF TERM LOAN
        (a)    The Parent shall repay the Term Loan in instalments by repaying

<Table>
<Caption>
                REPAYMENT DATE                REPAYMENT INSTALMENT

        (b)    The Parent may not reborrow any part of the Term Facility which
               is repaid.

        (c)    If the Parent cancels the whole or any part of the Term
               Commitments in accordance with Clause 11.6 (RIGHT OF REPAYMENT
               AND CANCELLATION IN RELATION TO A SINGLE LENDER OR ISSUING BANK)
               or if the Term Commitment of any Lender is reduced under Clause
               11.1 (ILLEGALITY OF A LENDER) then the amount of the Repayment
               Instalment for each Repayment Date falling after that
               cancellation will reduce PRO RATA by the amount cancelled.

        (d)    If the Parent cancels the whole or any part of the Term
               Commitments in accordance with Clause 11.3 (VOLUNTARY

               amount of the Repayment Instalment for each Repayment Date
               falling after that prepayment will reduce PRO RATA by the amount
               of the Term Loan prepaid.

        (f)    If the Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with Clause 11.4
               (VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT OF TERM LOANS), Clause 11.8 (MANDATORY
               PREPAYMENT FROM DEBT OR EQUITY PROCEEDS) or Clause 11.9
               (MANDATORY PREPAYMENT ON RECEIPT OF DISPOSAL PROCEEDS) then the
               amount of the Repayment Instalment for each Repayment Date
               falling after that prepayment will reduce in inverse
               chronological order by the amount of the Loan prepaid.

        Proceeds, the Parent shall procure that such Debt or Equity Proceeds are
        promptly applied in prepayment and/or cancellation of the Facilities in
        accordance with Clause 11.10 (APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS).

11.9    MANDATORY PREPAYMENT ON RECEIPT OF DISPOSAL PROCEEDS
        For the purposes of this Clause 11.9:

        "DISPOSAL" means a sale, lease, transfer, loan or other disposal by a
        person of any asset, undertaking or business (whether voluntary or

        (b)    any Tax incurred and required to be paid by the seller in
               connection with that Disposal (as reasonably determined by the
               seller, on the basis of existing rates and taking account of any
               available credit, deduction or allowance),

        but does not include:

               Disposal made by that Joint Venture Group Company, but only to

               another member of the Group which is not a Joint Venture Group
               Company; and

                                     - 37 -

               excluded pursuant to paragraph (i) above received by members of
               the Group in aggregate in any financial year of the Parent.

        The Parent shall ensure that the Borrowers prepay Utilisations in an
        amount equal to the Disposal Proceeds promptly upon receipt of those
        proceeds. The prepayments will be applied under Clause 11.10
        (APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS).

11.10   APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS
        A prepayment made under Clause 11.8 (MANDATORY PREPAYMENT FROM DEBT OR
        EQUITY PROCEEDS) or Clause 11.9 (MANDATORY PREPAYMENT ON RECEIPT OF
        DISPOSAL PROCEEDS) shall be applied in the following order of maturity:

               maturity);

        (b)    secondly, in cancellation of the Revolving Commitments (with any
               such cancellation reducing the Revolving Commitments of the

        (c)    thirdly, in prepayment of a sufficient amount of Revolving
               Facility Utilisations to the extent necessary so that the
               aggregate of the Base Currency Amounts of the outstanding
               Revolving Facility Utilisations after that prepayment is equal to
               or less than the reduced amounts of the Revolving Commitments.

11.11   RESTRICTIONS
        (a)    Any notice of cancellation or prepayment given by any Party under
               this Clause 11 shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary
               indication appears in this Agreement, shall specify the date or
               dates upon which the relevant cancellation or prepayment is to be
               made and the amount of that cancellation or prepayment.

        (b)    Any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with
               accrued interest on the amount prepaid and Break Costs.

        (c)    The Parent shall, on the prepayment of the whole or any part of a
               Term Loan or cancellation of any Revolving Commitment within 12
               months of the date of this Agreement, where such prepayment or
               cancellation is made using the proceeds of any bank debt or such
               cancellation is made pursuant to a refinancing by the Parent, pay
               to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender an amount
               equal to 1 per cent of the amount prepaid or cancelled (the
               "REFINANCING PREMIUM") PROVIDED THAT no such Refinancing Premium
               shall be payable to any Lender which is participating as a Lender
               in such refinancing.

        (d)    The Parent may not reborrow any part of the Term Facility which
               is prepaid.

        (f)    The Borrowers shall not repay or prepay all or any part of the
               Loans or cancel all or any part of the Commitments except at the
               times and in the manner expressly provided for in this Agreement.

        (g)    No amount of the Total Commitments cancelled under this Agreement
               may be subsequently reinstated.

                              COSTS OF UTILISATION

12.     INTEREST

12.1    CALCULATION OF INTEREST
        The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the
        percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

        (a)    Margin;

        (b)    LIBOR; and

        (c)    Mandatory Cost, if any.

12.2    PAYMENT OF INTEREST
        (a)    The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued
               interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period
               (and, if any Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the
               dates falling at six Monthly intervals after the first day of
               that Interest Period).

        (b)    If the annual audited financial statements of the Group and
               related Compliance Certificate received by the Facility Agent
               show that a Margin reduction should not have occurred during a
               certain period, the Parent shall (or shall ensure the relevant
               Borrower shall) promptly pay to the Facility Agent any amounts
               necessary to put the Facility Agent and the Lenders in the
               position they would have been in had the Margin reduction not
               occurred.

12.3    DEFAULT INTEREST
        (a)    If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a
               Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the
               overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment
               (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is two per cent
               higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue
               amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan
               in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest
               Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent
               (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 12.3
               shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the
               Facility Agent.

        (b)    Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be
               compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest
               Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain
               immediately due and payable.

12.4    NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST
        The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the relevant
        Borrower (or the Parent) of the determination of a rate of interest
        under this Agreement.

13.     INTEREST PERIODS

13.1    SELECTION OF INTEREST PERIODS
        (a)    A Borrower (or the Parent on behalf of a Borrower) may select an
               Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that
               Loan or (if the Loan is a Term Loan and has already been
               borrowed) in a Selection Notice.

        (b)    Each Selection Notice for a Term Loan is irrevocable and must be
               delivered to the Facility Agent by the Parent not later than the
               Specified Time.

        (c)    If the Parent fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Facility
               Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant
               Interest Period will, subject to Clause 13.2 (CHANGES TO INTEREST
               PERIODS), be one Month.

        (d)    Subject to this Clause 13, a Borrower (or the Parent) may select
               an Interest Period of one, two, three or six Months or any other
               period agreed between the Parent and the Facility Agent (acting
               on the instructions of all the Lenders). In addition a Borrower
               (or the Parent on its behalf) may select an Interest Period of
               (in relation to the Term Facility) a period of less than one
               Month, if necessary to ensure that there are Term Loans (with an
               aggregate Base Currency Amount equal to or greater than the
               Repayment Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a
               Repayment Date for the Parent to make the Repayment Instalment
               due on that date.

        (e)    An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Final
               Maturity Date applicable to its Facility.

        (f)    Each Interest Period for a Term Loan shall start on the
               Utilisation Date or (if a Loan has already been made) on the last
               day of its preceding Interest Period.

        (g)    A Revolving Loan has one Interest Period only.

13.2    CHANGES TO INTEREST PERIODS
        (a)    Prior to determining the interest rate for a Term Loan, the
               Facility Agent may shorten an Interest Period for any Term Loan
               to ensure that there are sufficient Term Loans (with an aggregate
               Base Currency Amount equal to or greater than the Repayment
               Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a Term
               Repayment Date for the Parent to make the Repayment Instalment
               due on that date.

        (b)    If the Facility Agent makes any of the changes to an Interest
               Period referred to in this Clause 13.2, it shall promptly notify
               the Parent and the Lenders.

14.     CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

14.1    ABSENCE OF QUOTATIONS
        Subject to Clause 14.2 (MARKET DISRUPTION), if LIBOR is to be determined
        by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply
        a quotation by the

                                     - 41 -
<Page>

        Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be
        determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference
        Banks.

14.2    MARKET DISRUPTION
        (a)    If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any
               Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender's share
               of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum
               which is the sum of:

               (i)    the Margin;

               (ii)   the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as
                      soon as practicable and in any event before interest is
                      due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be
                      that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the
                      cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that
                      Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

               (iii)  the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender's
                      participation in the Loan.

        (b)    In this Agreement "MARKET DISRUPTION EVENT" means:

               (i)    at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant
                      Interest Period the Screen Rate not being available and
                      none or only one of the Reference Banks supplying a rate
                      to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant
                      currency and Interest Period; or

               (ii)   before close of business in London on the Quotation Day
                      for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent
                      receiving notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose
                      participations in a Loan exceed 50 per cent. of that Loan)
                      that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the
                      Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.

14.3    ALTERNATIVE BASIS OF INTEREST OR FUNDING
        (a)    If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the
               Parent so requires, the Facility Agent and the Parent shall enter
               into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days)
               with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the
               rate of interest.

        (b)    Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above
               shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Parent,
               be binding on all Parties.

14.4    BREAK COSTS
        (a)    Each Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand by a
               Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs
               attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being
               paid by that Borrower on a day other than the last day of an
               Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

                                     - 42 -
<Page>

        (b)    Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a
               demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming
               the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which
               they accrue.

15.     FEES

15.1    COMMITMENT FEE
        (a)    The Parent shall pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of
               each Lender) a fee in the Base Currency computed at the rate of:

               (i)    50 per cent. per annum of the applicable Margin on that

               outstanding amount which is counter-indemnified by the other
               Lenders of each Letter of Credit requested by it for the period
               from the issue of that Letter of Credit until its Expiry Date.

        (b)    The Parent or each Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for

16.2    TAX GROSS-UP
        (a)    Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any
               Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. Each
               Lender hereby represents to each Obligor, on the date of this
               Agreement (if a New Lender) or the date it becomes a Party, that
               it is a Qualifying Lender.

        (b)    The Parent shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor
               must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the
               rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent
               accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent
               on becoming so aware in respect of a payment to that Lender. If
               the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it
               shall notify the Parent and that Obligor.

        (c)    If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor
               the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be
               increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction)
               leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due
               if no Tax Deduction had been required.

        (d)    An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a
               Lender under paragraph (c) above for a Tax Deduction in respect
               of tax imposed by the United Kingdom from a payment of interest
               on a Loan, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

               (i)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender
                      without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but
                      on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a
                      Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change
                      after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in
                      (or in the interpretation, administration, or application
                      of) any law or Treaty,

                                     - 46 -
<Page>

                      or any published practice or concession of any relevant
                      taxing authority; or

               (ii)   the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor
                      making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment
                      could have been made to the Lender without the Tax
                      Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations
                      under paragraph (g) below.

        (e)    If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor
               shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in
               connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in
               the minimum amount required by law.

        (f)    Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any
               payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the
               Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility
               Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence
               reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax
               Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate
               payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

        (g)    A Treaty Lender and each Obligor which makes a payment to which
               that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any
               procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain
               authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

16.3    TAX INDEMNITY

               Facility Agent) pay (or procure payment) to a Protected Party an

               Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly)
               suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in

                            Finance Party is treated as resident for tax
                            purposes; or

                      (B)   under the law of the jurisdiction in which that
                            Finance Party's Facility Office is located in
                            respect of amounts received or receivable in that
                            jurisdiction,

                      if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to
                      the net income received or receivable (but not any sum
                      deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance
                      Party; and

                                     - 47 -
<Page>

               (ii)   to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

                      (A)   is compensated for by an increased payment under
                            Clause 16.2 (TAX GROSS-UP); or

                      (B)   would have been compensated for by an increased
                            payment under Clause 16.2 (TAX GROSS-UP) but was not
                            so compensated solely because one of the exclusions
                            in paragraph (d) of Clause 16.2 (TAX GROSS-UP)
                            applied.

16.4    TAX CREDIT
        If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party
        determines that:

        (a)    a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and

        (b)    that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax
               Credit,

        the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance
        Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same

        The Parent shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand,

               any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Finance
               Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition
               to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount
               equal to the amount of the VAT.

        (b)    Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a
               Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at
               the same time pay and indemnify that Finance Party against all
               VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or
               expenses to the extent that the Finance Party is not entitled to
               credit or repayment of the VAT.

        (b)    A Finance Party is not obliged to take any steps under Clause

                                    GUARANTEE

21.     GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

21.1    GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY
        Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

        (a)    guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each
               other Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance
               Documents;

        (b)    undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor
               does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any
               Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay
               that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

        (c)    indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any
               cost, loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any
               obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid
               or illegal. The amount of the cost, loss or liability shall be
               equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have
               been entitled to recover.

21.2    CONTINUING GUARANTEE
        This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate
        balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents,
        regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

21.3    REINSTATEMENT
        If any payment by an Obligor or any discharge given by a Finance Party
        (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security
        for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of
        insolvency or any similar event:

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

        (b)    each Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or
               amount of that security or payment from the Obligor, as if the
               payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

21.4    WAIVER OF DEFENCES
        The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 21 will not be
        affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this
        Clause 21, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations
        under this Clause 21 (without limitation and whether or not known to it
        or any Finance Party) including:

        (a)    any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any
               Obligor or other person;

                                     - 53 -
<Page>

        (b)    the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the
               terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any
               member of the Group;

        (c)    the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release
               of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any
               rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other
               person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality
               or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure
               to realise the full value of any security;

        (d)    any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality
               of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an
               Obligor or any other person;

        (e)    any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance
               Document or any other document or security;

        (f)    any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation
               of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or
               security; or

        (g)    any insolvency or similar proceedings.

21.5    IMMEDIATE RECOURSE
        Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any
        Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against
        or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person
        before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 21. This waiver
        applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document
        to the contrary.

21.6    APPROPRIATIONS
        Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under
        or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
        in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

        (a)    refrain from applying or enforcing any other monies, security or
               rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or
               agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and
               enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether
               against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be
               entitled to the benefit of the same; and

        (b)    hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received
               from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability
               under this Clause 21.

21.7    DEFERRAL OF GUARANTOR'S RIGHTS
        Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under
        or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
        in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor
        will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by
        it of its obligations under the Finance Documents:

                                     - 54 -
<Page>

        (a)    to be indemnified by an Obligor;

        (b)    to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any
               Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents; and/or

        (c)    to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of
               subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties
               under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security
               taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents
               by any Finance Party.

21.8    RELEASE OF GUARANTORS' RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION
        If any Guarantor (a "RETIRING GUARANTOR") ceases to be a Guarantor in
        accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of
        any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date
        such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

        (a)    that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from
               any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual
               or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor
               arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of
               its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

        (b)    each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of
               the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to
               take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of
               subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties
               under any Finance Document or of any other security taken
               pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where
               such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the
               assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

21.9    ADDITIONAL SECURITY
        This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any
        other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance
        Party.

21.10   IRELAND - SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT
        The guarantee and indemnity contained in Clause 21.1 (GUARANTEE AND
        INDEMNITY) shall not be discharged nor shall any Obligor's liability be
        affected by any reduction occurring in, or other arrangement being made
        relating to the Obligors' liabilities or any of them to the Finance
        Parties as a result of any arrangement or composition made pursuant to
        any of the provisions of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1990 of Ireland
        or any analogous provisions or made pursuant to any proceedings or
        actions whatsoever and whether or not following the appointment of an
        administrator, administrative receiver, trustee, liquidator, receiver or
        examiner or any similar officer or any analogous event occurring under
        the laws of any relevant jurisdiction to any Obligor or over all or any
        substantial part of the assets (as the case may be) of any Obligor and
        each Obligor agrees with the Finance Parties that the amount recoverable
        by the Finance Parties from such Obligor under the Finance Documents
        will be and will continue to be the full amount which would have been
        recoverable by the Finance

                                     - 55 -
<Page>

        Parties from such Obligor in respect of its liabilities and any of them
        had no such arrangement or composition or event as aforesaid been
        entered into.

21.11   LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE TO GUARANTEES FROM DUTCH GUARANTORS
        Any guarantee, indemnity obligation, liability and/or undertaking
        granted or assumed pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited
        to this Clause 21 (GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY) and 18 (OTHER INDEMNITIES))
        or pursuant to any other Finance Document by any Obligor incorporated in
        The Netherlands shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred by such
        Obligor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial
        assistance within the meaning of Section 2:207(c) of the Dutch Civil
        Code. For the avoidance of doubt any guarantee, obligation, indemnity,
        liability and/or undertaking granted or assumed hereunder or under any
        other Finance Document by:

        (a)    Iron Mountain Nederland Holdings B.V., shall not be deemed to be
               undertaken or incurred to the extent relating to an amount of
               euros 23,700 of the Hays IMS Acquisition Indebtedness used for
               the acquisition of the shares in the capital of Iron Mountain
               Nederland Holdings B.V.; and

        (b)    Iron Mountain Nederland B.V., shall not be deemed to be
               undertaken or incurred to the extent relating to (i) an amount of
               L20,150,000 of the Hays IMS Acquisition Indebtedness used for the
               acquisition of the shares in the capital of Iron Mountain
               Nederland B.V. (ii) an amount of euros 23,700 of the Hays IMS
               Acquisition Indebtedness used for the acquisition of the shares
               in the capital of Iron Mountain Nederland Holdings B.V.

21.12   SPANISH GUARANTORS
        The guarantee given by any Obligor incorporated in Spain expressly
        acknowledges that this guarantee takes the form of a first demand
        guarantee and not a FIANZA under sections 1,822 and following of the
        Spanish Civil Code (CODIGO CIVIL) and, therefore, the benefits conferred
        by Spanish law to a FIADOR (benefits of priority, exhaustion of remedies
        against the principal debtor and division) shall not apply to this
        guarantee.

        (b)    If the Parent notifies the Facility Agent of a change in
               accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) above then the Parent and
               Facility Agent shall enter into negotiations in good faith with a
               view to agreeing:

               (i)    whether or not the change might result in any material
                      alteration in the commercial effect of any of the terms
                        of this Agreement; and

               (ii)   if so, any amendments to this Agreement which may be
                      necessary to ensure that the change does not result in any
                      material alteration in the commercial effect of those
                      terms,

               and if any amendments are agreed they shall take effect and be
               binding on each of the Parties in accordance with their terms.

               If no such agreement is reached within 30 days of that
               notification of change, the Facility Agent shall (if so requested
               by the Majority Lenders) instruct the auditors of the Parent or
               independent accountants (approved by the Parent or, in the
               absence of such approval within 5 days of request by the Facility
               Agent of such approval, a firm with recognised expertise) to
               determine any amendment to Clause 24.2 (FINANCIAL CONDITION) the
               Margin computations set out in the definition of "Margin" and any
               other terms of this Agreement which those auditors or, as the
               case may be, accountants (acting as experts and not arbitrators)
               consider appropriate to ensure the change does not result in any
               material alteration in the commercial effect of the terms of this
               Agreement. Those amendments shall take effect when so determined
               by those auditors, or as the case may be, accountants. The cost
               and expense of those auditors or accountants shall be for the
               account of the Parent.

               Any reference in this Agreement to those financial statements
               shall be construed as a reference to those financial statements
               as adjusted to reflect the basis upon which the Original
               Financial Statements were prepared.

        (c)    The Parent shall procure that each set of annual financial
               statements delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 23.1
               (FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) shall be audited by an internationally
               recognised firm of independent auditors (which shall, for the
               purposes of this Agreement, include RSM Robson Rhodes) licensed
               to practice in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant
               member of the Group.

               financial statements delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of
               Clause 23.1 (FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) includes a cashflow forecast
               in respect of the Group relating to the 3 month period commencing
               at the end of the relevant Financial Quarter.

        Facility Agent a report stating which of its Subsidiaries are Material

        the prior written consent of the Facility Agent.

               the steps, if any, being taken to remedy it) promptly upon
               becoming aware of its occurrence (unless that Obligor is aware

               Obligor).

        (b)    Promptly upon a request by the Facility Agent (acting

                      not, unless the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions
                      of the Majority Creditors) otherwise agrees:

                      (A)   exercise any right it might otherwise have pursuant
                            to the Ancillary Facilities provided by it to cancel
                            or otherwise terminate those Ancillary Facilities;

                      amounts outstanding in respect of the Ancillary Facilities
                      provided by it, unless the Facility Agent (acting on the
                      instructions of the Majority Creditors) otherwise agrees
                      or requires.

        (b)    The provisions of this Clause 25.21 shall cease to apply after
               the Utilisations have been prepaid or repaid in full and the

25.21   HEDGING ARRANGEMENTS
        (a)    The Parent shall procure that, within 45 days of the date of this
               Agreement, a Borrower or Borrowers acceptable to the Facility
               Agent enter into hedging agreements with a Lender or Lenders
               implementing the hedging strategy set out in the Hedging Strategy
               Letter.

        (b)    Each Borrower will ensure, and each Hedging Bank agrees, that:

               (i)    any Hedging Agreement to which it is at any time party
                      will be in the form of the ISDA 1992 Master Agreement and
                      will provide for the "Second Method" (that is, two way
                      payments) in the event of a termination of any hedging
                      transaction entered into under such Hedging Agreement
                      whether upon a Termination Event or an Event of Default
                      (as defined therein);

               (ii)   if, on termination of any hedging transaction under any
                      Hedging Agreement to which any Borrower is a party, a
                      settlement amount or other amount falls due from a Hedging
                      Bank to any Borrower then, if any of the Transaction
                      Security has become enforceable, that amount shall be paid
                      by such Hedging Bank to the Security Trustee and treated
                      as proceeds of enforcement of the Transaction Security for
                      application in the order prescribed by Clause 35.1 (ORDER
                      OF APPLICATION);

               (iii)  each Hedging Agreement (and any amendment to any Hedging
                      Agreement) shall be delivered to the Facility Agent as
                      soon as reasonably practicable after it has been entered
                      into;

               (iv)   the Hedging Agreements to which they are party will not
                      (unless the Majority Lenders have otherwise consented in
                      writing) be amended, varied or supplemented in a manner
                      which would result in:

                      (A)   any payment under any such Hedging Agreement being
                            required to be made by a Borrower earlier than the
                            date originally provided for in the relevant Hedging
                            Agreement; or

                      (B)   any Borrower becoming liable to make an additional
                            payment (or increase an existing payment) under any
                            such Hedging Agreement which liability does not
                            arise from the original provisions of that Hedging
                            Agreement,

               if, in either case that would be inconsistent with the Hedging
               Strategy Letter or the requirements of this Clause 25.21.

        (c)    Each Lender which is a Hedging Bank undertakes that it will not
               (unless the Majority Creditors have otherwise consented in
               writing) demand (other than as may be necessary in order to
               exercise any right to terminate or close out any hedging
               transaction as provided in and permitted under paragraph (d)
               below) payment, prepayment or repayment of, or any distribution
               in respect of, or on

               account of, any of the obligations of the relevant Borrower to it
               under any Hedging Agreement to which it is party in cash or in
               kind except:

               (i)    for scheduled payments arising under the original terms of
                      any Hedging Agreement to which it is party (without regard
                      to any amendments made after the date of such Hedging
                      Agreement prohibited by paragraph (b)(iii)) of this Clause
                      25.21); and/or

               (ii)   for the proceeds of enforcement of the Transaction
                      Security Documents received and applied in the order
                      permitted by Clause 35.1 (ORDER OF APPLICATION); and/or

               (iii)  payments due under any Hedging Agreement to which it is a
                      party which has been terminated or closed-out by the
                      relevant Borrower.

        (d)    Each Lender which is a Hedging Bank undertakes that it will not
               (unless the Majority Creditors have otherwise consented in
               writing) exercise any right to terminate or close out any hedging
               transaction under any Hedging Agreements to which it is party
               prior to its stated maturity (whether by reason of the Borrower
               counterparty becoming a Defaulting Party or Affected Party
               thereunder (and as defined therein) or otherwise) unless:

               (i)    such Borrower has defaulted on a payment due under such
                      Hedging Agreement, after allowing for any required notice
                      and any applicable days of grace, and such default
                      continues for more than 21 days after notice of such
                      default being given to the Facility Agent; or

               (ii)   an Illegality or a Tax Event (each as defined in the ISDA
                      1992 Master Agreement) has occurred; or

               (iii)  the Facility Agent has served a notice under Clause 26.15
                      (ACCELERATION); or

               (iv)   all Utilisations have been prepaid or repaid in full and
                      the Lenders are no longer under any obligation to
                      participate in further Utilisations; or

               (v)    there is a prepayment of the Term Facility pursuant to
                      Clause 11 (PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION); PROVIDED THAT the
                      Hedging Bank may only exercise its right to terminate or
                      close out that element of the hedging transaction (if any)
                      which corresponds to the amount so prepaid; or

               (vi)   the parties to the Hedging Agreement have voluntarily
                      agreed to close out any hedging transaction in that
                      Hedging Agreement and the relevant Borrower has
                      demonstrated to the Facility Agent that it will be in
                      compliance with the terms of the Hedging Strategy Letter.

        (e)    Each Lender which is a Hedging Bank will, promptly after the
               Facility Agent has served a notice under Clause 26.15
               (ACCELERATION), exercise any and all

                                     - 81 -

               rights it may have to terminate the hedging transactions under
               each Hedging Agreement to which it is party, unless the Facility
               Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Creditors)
               otherwise agrees or requires.

        (f)    Each Lender which is a Hedging Bank agrees that (unless the
               Majority Creditors have otherwise agreed in writing) it will not
               enforce any Transaction Security or require any other person to
               enforce the same in respect of amounts owing under any Hedging
               Agreement to which it is party.

               Documents are not or cease to be legal, valid, binding or
               enforceable and the cessation individually or cumulatively

               enforceable or effective or the subordination created thereunder

               ineffective.

26.10   SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
        (a)    Any party to the Subordination Agreement (other than a Finance
               Party or an Obligor) fails to comply with the provisions of, or

               Agreement; or

        (b)    a representation or warranty given by that party in the
               Subordination Agreement is incorrect in any material respect,

        and, if the non-compliance or circumstances giving rise to the
        misrepresentation are capable of remedy, it is not remedied within 7

               business activities not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this

                                    SECTION 9
                               CHANGES TO PARTIES

27.     CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

27.1    ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY THE LENDERS
        Subject to this Clause 27, a Lender (the "EXISTING LENDER") may:

        (a)    assign any of its rights and benefits; or

        (b)    transfer by novation any of its rights, benefits and obligations,

        to another bank or financial institution (the "NEW LENDER").

27.2    CONDITIONS OF ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER
        (a)    The consent of the Parent is required for an assignment or
               transfer by an Existing Lender, unless an Event of Default has
               occurred and is continuing or unless the assignment or transfer
               is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

        (b)    The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not
               be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parent will be deemed to
               have given its consent ten Business Days after the Existing
               Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by
               the Parent within that time.

        (c)    The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not
               be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result
               in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

        (d)    An assignment will only be effective on:

               (i)    receipt by the Facility Agent of a written confirmation
                      from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to
                      the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the
                      same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the
                      other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it
                      was an Original Lender; and

               (ii)   performance by the Facility Agent of all "know your
                      customer" or other checks relating to any person that it
                      is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to
                      a New Lender, the completion of which the Facility Agent
                      shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New
                      Lender.

        (e)    A transfer will only be effective on receipt by the Facility
               Agent if the procedure set out in Clause 27.5 (PROCEDURE FOR
               TRANSFER) is complied with.

        (f)    Any assignment or transfer of part of its Commitment shall be in
               a minimum amount of L5,000,000.

                                     - 88 -
<Page>

        (g)    If:

               (i)    a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights, benefits
                      or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its
                      Facility Office; and

               (ii)   as a result of circumstances existing at the date the
                      assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be
                      obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender
                      acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 16
                      (TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES) or Clause 17 (INCREASED
                      COSTS),

               then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility
               Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to
               the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through
               its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment,
               transfer or change had not occurred.

27.3    ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER FEE
        The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer
        takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of
        L1,000.

27.4    LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY OF EXISTING LENDERS
        (a)    Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes
               no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a
               New Lender for:

               (i)    the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
                      enforceability of the Finance Documents, the Transaction
                      Security or any other documents;

               (ii)   the financial condition of any Obligor;

               (iii)  the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other
                      member of the Group of its obligations under the Finance
                      Documents or any other documents; or

               (iv)   the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral)
                      made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any
                      other document,

               and any representations or warranties implied by law are
               excluded.

        (b)    Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other
               Finance Parties and the Secured Parties that it:

               (i)    has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent
                      investigation and assessment of the financial condition
                      and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in
                      connection with its participation in this Agreement and
                      has not relied exclusively on any information provided to
                      it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in
                      connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction
                      Security; and

               (ii)   will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
                      creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities
                      whilst any

                                     - 89 -
<Page>

                      amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance
                      Documents or any Commitment is in force.

        (c)    Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

               (i)    accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the
                      rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this
                      Clause 27; or

               (ii)   support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the
                      New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor
                      of its obligations under the Finance Documents or
                      otherwise.

27.5    PROCEDURE FOR TRANSFER
        (a)    Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 (CONDITIONS OF
               ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER) a transfer is effected in accordance with
               paragraph (b) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise
               duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the
               Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall,
               subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable
               after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate
               appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement
               and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
               execute that Transfer Certificate.

        (b)    The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer
               Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New
               Lender upon its completion of all "know your customer" or other
               checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in
               relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

        (c)    On the Transfer Date:

               (i)    to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the
                      Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights,
                      benefits and obligations under the Finance Documents and
                      in respect of the Transaction Security each of the
                      Obligors and other members of the Group party to any
                      Finance Document or the Transaction Security and the
                      Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations
                      towards one another under the Finance Documents and in
                      respect of the Transaction Security and their respective
                      rights against one another under the Finance Documents and
                      in respect of the Transaction Security shall be cancelled
                      (being the "DISCHARGED RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS");

               (ii)   each of the Obligors and other members of the Group party
                      to any Finance Document and the New Lender shall assume
                      obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights and
                      benefits against one another which differ from the
                      Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that
                      Obligor or other member of the Group and the New Lender
                      have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that
                      Obligor and the Existing Lender;

                                     - 90 -

               (iii)  the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the Security Trustee,
                      the New Lender, the other Lenders, the Issuing Bank, any
                      Hedge Bank and any relevant Ancillary Lender shall acquire
                      the same rights and assume the same obligations between
                      themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as
                      they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender
                      been an Original Lender with the rights, and/or
                      obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the
                      transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the
                      Arranger, the Security Trustee, the Issuing Bank, any
                      Hedge Bank and any relevant Ancillary Lender and the
                      Existing Lender shall each be released from further
                      obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

               (iv)   the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

27.6    COPY OF TRANSFER CERTIFICATE TO PARENT
        The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has
        executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Parent a copy of that
        Transfer Certificate.

               person:

                      may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its
                      rights and obligations under the Finance Documents;

               (ii)   with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may

                      be made by reference to, the Finance Documents or any
                      Obligor; or

               (iii)  to whom, and to the extent that, information is required
                      to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation; and

        any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents
        as that Lender shall consider appropriate, if, in relation to paragraphs
        (a)(i) and (ii) and (b) above, the person to whom the information is to
        be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

27.8    AFFILIATES OF LENDERS AS HEDGE BANKS
        (a)    An Affiliate of a Lender which becomes a Hedge Bank shall accede
               to this Agreement by delivery to the Facility Agent of a duly
               completed Accession Letter.

        (b)    Where this Agreement or any other Finance Document imposes an
               obligation on a Hedge Bank and the relevant Hedge Bank is an
               Affiliate of a Lender and is not a party to that document, the
               relevant Lender shall ensure that the obligation is performed by
               its Affiliate.

               Dormant Subsidiary becomes an Additional Borrower. That

               (i)    all the Lenders approve the addition of that Subsidiary
                      other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary incorporated in

               (ii)   the Parent delivers to the Facility Agent a duly completed
                      and executed Accession Letter;

               (iii)  the Parent confirms that no Default is continuing or would
                      occur as a result of that Subsidiary becoming an
                      Additional Borrower; and

               (iv)   the Facility Agent has received all of the documents and
                      other evidence listed in Part II (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
                      REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED BY AN ADDITIONAL OBLIGOR) and, if
                      applicable, Part III (TRANSACTION SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND
                      SECURITY RELATED DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY ADDITIONAL
                      OBLIGORS) of Schedule 2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT) in relation
                      to that Additional Borrower, each in form and substance
                      satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

        (b)    The Facility Agent shall notify the Parent and the Lenders
               promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and
               substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other
               evidence listed in Part II (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT REQUIRED TO BE
               DELIVERED BY AN ADDITIONAL OBLIGOR) and, if applicable, Part III
               (TRANSACTION SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND SECURITY RELATED DOCUMENTS TO
               BE DELIVERED BY ADDITIONAL OBLIGORS) of Schedule 2 (CONDITIONS
               PRECEDENT).

28.3    ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS
        (a)    Subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraphs (c) and
               (d) of Clause 23.8 ("KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER" CHECKS) the Parent may
               request that any wholly owned Subsidiaries become an Additional
               Guarantor.

        (b)    The Parent shall ensure that any member of the Group which is a
               Material Company shall, as soon as possible after becoming a
               Material Company become an Additional Guarantor and shall accede
               to the Subordination Agreement unless legal counsel to the
               Facility Agent has confirmed there is a provision of law
               prohibiting such member of the Group becoming an Additional
               Guarantor and there are no applicable exemptions or exceptions to

                                     - 92 -
<Page>

               that prohibition which would permit such member to become an
               Additional Guarantor. The Parent shall procure that the Group
               uses reasonable endeavours to overcome that prohibition.

        (c)    If required by the Agent (and to the extent permitted under
               applicable law), each entity which is to become an Additional
               Guarantor shall enter into Transaction Security Documents in
               favour of the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
               Parties (or, if applicable, directly in favour of the Secured
               Parties) over all its assets, business and undertaking as
               Security for all indebtedness under the Finance Documents, such
               Security to provide (to the extent permissible and practicable
               under applicable law) equivalent security over such assets,
               business and undertaking (together "RELEVANT ASSETS") as granted
               to the Security Trustee (or, as applicable, the Secured Parties)
               by members of the Group with similar Relevant Assets incorporated
               in the same jurisdiction as such Additional Guarantor and, if
               such Additional Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in
               which no other member of the Group incorporated in that
               jurisdiction with similar Relevant Assets has granted Security,
               the Transaction Security Documents shall be in such form and
               substance as may be required by the Facility Agent (having due
               regard to the practicality and costs involved in taking any such
               Security).

        (d)    In addition, in order to maintain the requirements of Clause
               25.18 (GUARANTOR GROUP AND SECURITY COVERAGE) the Parent may
               request that any of its Subsidiaries which is not a Material
               Company becomes an Additional Guarantor.

        (e)    A member of the Group shall become an Additional Guarantor if:

               (i)    the Parent delivers to the Facility Agent a duly completed
                      and executed Accession Letter; and

               (ii)   the Facility Agent has received all of the documents and
                      other evidence listed in Part II (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
                      REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED BY AN ADDITIONAL OBLIGOR) and, if
                      applicable, Part III (TRANSACTION SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND
                      SECURITY RELATED DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY ADDITIONAL
                      OBLIGORS) of Schedule 2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT) in relation
                      to that Additional Guarantor, each in form and substance
                      satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

        (f)    The Facility Agent shall notify the Parent and the Lenders
               promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and
               substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other
               evidence listed in Part II (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT REQUIRED TO BE
               DELIVERED BY AN ADDITIONAL OBLIGOR) and, if applicable, Part III
               (TRANSACTION SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND SECURITY RELATED DOCUMENTS TO
               BE DELIVERED BY ADDITIONAL OBLIGORS) of Schedule 2 (CONDITIONS
               PRECEDENT).

        (g)    The Facility Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) agree a
               limit on the amount of the liability of the potential Additional
               Guarantor or other changes to the Finance Documents which in the
               opinion of the Facility Agent, based on the advice of its legal
               counsel, are necessary to overcome a prohibition referred to in
               paragraph (c) above or a risk that a guarantee by the potential
               Additional Guarantor will not be legal, valid, binding,
               enforceable and effective. The cost of the advice of legal
               counsel obtained pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall be for the
               account of the Parent.

28.4    REPETITION OF REPRESENTATIONS
        Delivery of an Accession Letter constitutes confirmation by the relevant
        Subsidiary that the representations and warranties referred to in Clause
        22 (REPRESENTATIONS) are true and correct in relation to it as at the
        date of delivery as if made by reference to the facts and circumstances
        then existing.

        (b)    The Facility Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to
               the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that:

               (i)    no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of

               (ii)   any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any
                      Party or the Majority Lenders has not been exercised; and

               Facility Agent shall (a) act in accordance with any instructions
               given to it by the Majority Lenders (or, if so instructed by the
               Majority Lenders, refrain from acting or exercising any right,
               power, authority or discretion vested in it as Facility Agent)
               and (b) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or

               instruction of the Majority Lenders.

        (b)    Unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any
               instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on all

        (c)    The Facility Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with the
               instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, if appropriate, the
               Lenders) until it has received such security as it may require
               for any cost, loss or liability (together with any associated
               VAT) which it may incur in complying with the instructions.

        (d)    In the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders, (or, if
               appropriate, the Lenders) the Facility Agent may act (or refrain
               from taking action) as it considers to be in the best interest of
               the Lenders.

        (e)    The Facility Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender
               (without first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or
               arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document. This
               paragraph (e) shall not apply to any legal or arbitration
               proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation or protection

        (b)    is responsible for the legality, validity, effectiveness,
               adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or the
               Transaction Security or any other agreement, arrangement or
               document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of or in
               connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security.

               directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

        (b)    No Party (other than the Facility Agent or the Issuing Bank (as
               applicable)) may take any proceedings against any officer,
               employee or agent of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or
               the Issuing Bank, in respect of any claim it might have against
               the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Issuing Bank or
               in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer,
               employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document or any
               Transaction Document and any officer, employee or agent of the
               Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Issuing Bank may rely
               on this Clause subject to Clause 1.4 (THIRD PARTY RIGHTS) and the
               provisions of the Third Parties Act.

        (c)    The Facility Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any

               required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Facility
               Agent if the Facility Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon
               as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or
               operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement
               system used by the Facility Agent for that purpose.

        (d)    Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Facility Agent or the
               Arranger to carry out any "know your customer" or other checks in
               relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender
               confirms to the Facility Agent and the Arranger that it is solely
               responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and
               that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks
               made by the Facility Agent or the Arranger.

29.10   LENDERS' INDEMNITY TO THE FACILITY AGENT AND THE SECURITY TRUSTEE
        Each Lender and Ancillary Lender shall (in proportion to its share of
        the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its
        share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to
        zero) indemnify each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee,
        within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or
        liability incurred by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee
        (otherwise than by reason of the Facility Agent's or the Security
        Trustee's gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as Facility
        Agent or as Security Trustee under the Finance Documents (unless the
        Facility Agent or the Security Trustee has been reimbursed by an Obligor
        pursuant to a Finance Document).

29.11   RESIGNATION OF THE FACILITY AGENT
        (a)    The Facility Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates
               acting through an office in the United Kingdom as successor by
               giving notice to the Lenders and the Parent.

        (b)    Alternatively the Facility Agent may resign by giving notice to

               Facility Agent.

               notice of resignation was given, the Facility Agent (after
               consultation with the Parent) may appoint a successor Facility
               Agent (acting through an office in the United Kingdom).

        (d)    The retiring Facility Agent shall, at its own cost, make
               available to the successor Facility Agent such documents and
               records and provide such assistance as the successor Facility
               Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its
               functions as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents.

        (e)    The Facility Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect
               upon the appointment of a successor.

        (f)    Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Facility Agent
               shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the
               Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of
               this Clause 29.11. Its successor and each of the other Parties
               shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as
               they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

        (g)    After consultation with the Parent, the Majority Lenders may, by
               notice to the Facility Agent, require it to resign in accordance
               with paragraph (b) above. In this event, the Facility Agent shall
               resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

29.12   CONFIDENTIALITY
        (a)    In acting as agent for the Finance Parties or, as the case may
               be, Security Trustee for the Secured Parties, the Facility Agent
               and the Security Trustee shall be regarded as acting through its
               agency division, or as appropriate, Security Trustee division
               which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its
               divisions or departments.

        (b)    If information is received by another division or department of
               the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, it may be treated as
               confidential to that division or department and neither the
               Facility Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be deemed to have
               notice of it.

        (c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to
               the contrary, none of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee,
               and the Arranger are obliged to disclose to any other person (i)
               any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the
               disclosure would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a
               breach of any law or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

29.13   RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LENDERS
        (a)    The Facility Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to
               payments under this Agreement and acting through its Facility
               Office unless it has

                                     - 99 -

               Agreement.

        (b)    Each Lender shall supply the Facility Agent with any information
               required by the Facility Agent in order to calculate the
               Mandatory Cost in accordance with Schedule 4 (MANDATORY COST
               FORMULAE).

        (c)    Each Secured Party shall supply the Facility Agent with any
               information that the Security Trustee may reasonably specify
               (through the Facility Agent) as being necessary or desirable to
               enable the Security Trustee to perform its functions as Security
               Trustee. Each Lender shall deal with the Security Trustee
               exclusively through the Facility Agent and shall not deal
               directly with the Security Trustee.

        Security Trustee and each Ancillary Lender that it has been, and will

29.15   REFERENCE BANKS
        If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender
        of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent

        Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank.

        which the Facility Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the
        Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards
        satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance
        Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so
        deducted.

29.18   RELIANCE AND ENGAGEMENT LETTERS
        Each Finance Party and Secured Party confirms that each of the Arranger
        and the Facility Agent has authority to accept on its behalf the terms
        of any reliance letter or engagement letters relating to the Reports or

30.     ROLE OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

30.1    TRUST
        The Security Trustee declares that it shall hold the Transaction
        Security on trust for the Secured Parties on the terms contained in this
        Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that the
        Security Trustee shall have only those duties, obligations and
        responsibilities expressly specified in this Agreement or in the
        Transaction Security Trustee Documents (and no others shall be implied).

30.2    PARALLEL DEBT (COVENANT TO PAY THE SECURITY TRUSTEE)
        (a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each
               Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay
               to the Security Trustee, as creditor in its own right and not as
               representative of the other Secured Parties, sums equal to and in
               the currency of each amount payable by such Obligor to each of
               the Secured Parties under each of the Finance Documents as and
               when

                                     - 101 -
<Page>

               that amount falls due for payment under the relevant Finance
               Document or would have fallen due but for any discharge resulting
               from the failure of another Secured Party to take appropriate
               steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting that Obligor, to
               preserve its entitlement to be paid that amount.

        (b)    The Security Trustee shall have its own independent right to
               demand payment of the amounts payable by each Obligor under this
               Clause 30.2, irrespective of any discharge of such Obligor's
               obligation to pay those amounts to the other Secured Parties
               resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in
               insolvency proceedings affecting that Obligor, to preserve their
               entitlement to be paid those amounts.

        (c)    Any amount due and payable by an Obligor to the Security Trustee
               under this Clause 30.2 (PARALLEL DEBT (COVENANT TO PAY THE
               SECURITY TRUSTEE)) shall be decreased to the extent that the
               other Secured Parties have received (and are able to retain)
               payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other
               provisions of the Finance Documents and any amount due and
               payable by an Obligor to the other Secured Parties under those
               provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Security
               Trustee has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of
               the corresponding amount under this Clause 30.2 (PARALLEL DEBT
               (COVENANT TO PAY THE SECURITY TRUSTEE)),

        (d)    The rights of the Secured Parties (other than the Security
               Trustee) to receive payment of amounts payable by each Obligor
               under the Finance Documents are several and separate and
               independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the
               Security Trustee to receive payment under this Clause 30.2
               (PARALLEL DEBT (COVENANT TO PAY THE SECURITY TRUSTEE)).

30.3    NO INDEPENDENT POWER
        The Secured Parties shall not have any independent power to enforce, or
        have recourse to, any of the Transaction Security Trustee or to exercise
        any rights or powers arising under the Transaction Security Trustee
        Documents except through the Security Trustee.

30.4    SECURITY TRUSTEE'S INSTRUCTIONS
        The Security Trustee shall:

        (a)    unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, act
               in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Facility
               Agent and shall be entitled to assume that (i) any instructions
               received by it from the Facility Agent are duly given by or on
               behalf of the Majority Lenders or, as the case may be, the
               Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents and
               (ii) unless it has received actual notice of revocation that any
               instructions or directions given by the Facility Agent have not
               been revoked;

        (b)    be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any
               direction, from the Facility Agent as to whether, and in what
               manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any rights,
               powers and discretions and the Security Trustee

                                     - 102 -
<Page>

               may refrain from acting unless and until those instructions or
               clarification are received by it; and

        (c)    be entitled to, carry out all dealings with the Lenders through
               the Facility Agent and may give to the Facility Agent any notice
               or other communication required to be given by the Security
               Trustee to the Lenders.

30.5    SECURITY TRUSTEE'S ACTIONS
        Subject to the provisions of this Clause 30:

        (a)    the Security Trustee may, in the absence of any instructions to
               the contrary, take such action in the exercise of any of its
               powers and duties under the Finance Documents which in its
               absolute discretion it considers to be for the protection and
               benefit of all the Secured Parties; and

        (b)    at any time after receipt by the Security Trustee of notice from
               the Facility Agent directing the Security Trustee to exercise all
               or any of its rights, remedies, powers or discretions under any
               of the Finance Documents, the Security Trustee may, and shall if
               so directed by the Facility Agent, take any action as in its sole
               discretion it thinks fit to enforce the Transaction Security
               Trustee.

30.6    SECURITY TRUSTEE'S DISCRETIONS
        (a)    The Security Trustee may assume (unless it has received actual
               notice to the contrary in its capacity as Security Trustee for
               the Secured Parties) that:

               (i)    no Default has occurred and no Obligor is in breach of or
                      default under its obligations under any of the Finance
                      Documents; and

               (ii)   any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any
                      person has not been exercised.

        (b)    The Security Trustee may, if it receives any instructions or
               directions from the Facility Agent to take any action in relation
               to the Transaction Security Trustee, assume that all applicable
               conditions under the Finance Documents for taking that action
               have been satisfied.

        (c)    The Security Trustee may engage, pay for and rely on the advice
               or services of any lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other
               experts (whether obtained by the Security Trustee or by any other
               Secured Party).

        (d)    The Security Trustee may rely upon any communication or document
               believed by it to be genuine and, as to any matters of fact which
               might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of a
               Secured Party or an Obligor, upon a certificate signed by or on
               behalf of that person.

        (e)    The Security Trustee may refrain from acting in accordance with
               the instructions of the Facility Agent or Lenders (including

               connection with the Finance

                                     - 103 -
<Page>

               Documents) until it has received any indemnification and/or
               security that it may in its absolute discretion require (whether
               by way of payment in advance or otherwise) for all costs, losses
               and liabilities which it may incur in bringing such action or
               proceedings.

        (e)    the right or title of any person in or to, or the value or
               sufficiency of any part of the Charged Property, the priority of
               any of the Transaction Security or the existence of any security
               interest affecting the Charged Property,

        and each Secured Party warrants to the Security Trustee that it has not
        relied on and will not at any time rely on the Security Trustee in

30.12   NO RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFECT TRANSACTION SECURITY
        The Security Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to:

        (a)    require the deposit with it of any deed or document certifying,
               representing or constituting the title of any Obligor to any of
               the Charged Property;

        (b)    obtain any licence, consent or other authority for the execution,

               jurisdiction or to give notice to any person of the execution of
               any of the Finance Documents or of the Transaction Security
               Trustee;

        (d)    take, or to require any of the Obligors to take, any steps to
               perfect its title to any of the Charged Property or to render the
               Transaction Security Trustee effective or to secure the creation
               of any ancillary Security Trustee under the laws of any
               jurisdiction; or

               maintain insurance contained in the Finance Documents. The
               Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss which may
               be suffered by any person as a result of the lack of or
               inadequacy of any such insurance.

        (b)    Where the Security Trustee is named on any insurance policy as an
               insured party, it shall not be responsible for any loss which may
               be suffered by reason of, directly or indirectly, its failure to
               notify the insurers of any material fact relating to the risk
               assumed by the insurers or any other information of any kind,
               unless any Secured Party has requested it to do so in writing and
               the Security Trustee has failed to do so within fourteen days
               after receipt of that request.

        The Security Trustee may refrain from doing anything which in its

        regulation.

30.18   RELEASES
        Upon a disposal of any of the Charged Property:

               Receiver or the Security Trustee; or

        (b)    if that disposal is permitted under the Finance Documents,

        the Security Trustee shall (at the cost of the Obligors) release that
        property from the Transaction Security Trustee and is authorised to
        execute, without the need for any further authority from the Secured
        Parties, any release of the Transaction Security Trustee or other claim

        have been fully and finally discharged and (b) none of the Secured
        Parties is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or
        contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to
        any Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents, the trusts set out in
        this Agreement shall be wound

                                     - 107 -
<Page>

        up and the Security Trustee shall release, without recourse or

        Documents.

        Trustee by general law or otherwise.

        Section 1 of the Security Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties
        of the Security Trustee in relation to the trusts constituted by this
        Agreement. Where there are any inconsistencies between the Security
        Trustee Acts 1925 and 2000 and the provisions of this Agreement, the
        provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent allowed by law,
        prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Security Trustee
        Act 2000, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a
        restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

30.23   RESIGNATION OF SECURITY TRUSTEE
        (a)    The Security Trustee may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates
               as successor by giving notice to the other Parties (or to the
               Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders).

        (b)    Alternatively the Security Trustee may resign by giving notice to
               the other Parties (or to the Facility Agent on behalf of the
               Lenders) in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a
               successor Security Trustee.

        (c)    If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Security
               Trustee in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 30 days
               after the notice of resignation was given, the Security Trustee
               (after consultation with the Facility Agent) may appoint a
               successor Security Trustee.

        (d)    The retiring Security Trustee shall, at its own cost, make
               available to the successor Security Trustee such documents and
               records and provide such assistance as the successor Security
               Trustee may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its
               functions as Security Trustee under the Finance Documents.

        (e)    The Security Trustee's resignation notice shall only take effect
               upon (i) the appointment of a successor and (ii) the transfer of
               all of the Transaction Security Trustee to that successor.

        (f)    Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Security
               Trustee shall be discharged from any further obligation in
               respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the
               benefit of Clauses 29 (ROLE OF THE FACILITY AGENT, THE ARRANGER,
               THE ISSUING BANK AND OTHERS) and this Clause 30. Its successor
               and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and
               obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such
               successor had been an original Party.

        (g)    The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Security Trustee,
               require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above. In
               this event, the Security Trustee shall resign in accordance with
               paragraph (b) above.

30.24   DELEGATION
        (a)    The Security Trustee may, at any time, delegate by power of
               attorney or otherwise to any person for any period, all or any of
               the rights, powers and discretions vested in it by any of the
               Finance Documents.

        (b)    The delegation may be made upon any terms and conditions
               (including the power to sub-delegate) and subject to any
               restrictions as the Security Trustee may think fit in the
               interests of the Secured Parties and it shall not be bound to
               supervise, or be in any way responsible for any loss incurred by
               reason of any misconduct or default on the part of any delegate
               or sub-delegate.

30.25   ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
        (a)    The Security Trustee may at any time appoint (and subsequently
               remove) any person to act as a separate security or as a
               co-security jointly with it (i) if it considers that appointment
               to be in the interests of the Secured Parties or (ii) for the
               purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or
               conditions which the Security Trustee deems to be relevant or
               (iii) for obtaining or enforcing any judgment in any
               jurisdiction, and the Security Trustee shall give prior notice to
               the Borrower and the Facility Agent of that appointment.

        (b)    Any person so appointed shall have the rights, powers and
               discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security
               Trustee by this Agreement) and the duties and obligations that
               are conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment.

        (c)    The remuneration that the Security Trustee may pay to any person,
               and any costs and expenses incurred by that person in performing
               its functions pursuant to that appointment shall, for the
               purposes of this Agreement, be treated as costs and expenses
               incurred by the Security Trustee.

        No provision of this Agreement will:

        (a)    interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its
               affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

        (b)    oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit,
               relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent,
               order and manner of any claim; or

        (c)    oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to
               its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of
               Tax.


32.     SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

32.1    PAYMENTS TO FINANCE PARTIES
        If a Finance Party (a "RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY") receives or recovers
        any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 33
        (PAYMENT MECHANICS) or Clause 35 (APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS) and applies
        that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

        (a)    the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days,
               notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Facility Agent;

        (b)    the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or
               recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party
               would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or
               made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with
               Clause 33 (PAYMENT MECHANICS), without taking account of any Tax
               which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the
               receipt, recovery or distribution; and

        (c)    the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of
               demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount
               (the "SHARING PAYMENT") equal to such receipt or recovery less
               any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by
               the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be
               made, in accordance with Clause 33.5 (PARTIAL PAYMENTS).

32.2    REDISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS
        The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been
        paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance
        Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in accordance with
        Clause 33.5 (PARTIAL PAYMENTS).

32.3    RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY'S RIGHTS
        (a)    On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 32.2
               (REDISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS), the Recovering Finance Party will
               be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have
               shared in the redistribution.

        (b)    If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not
               able to rely on its rights under paragraph (a) above, the
               relevant Obligor shall be liable to the

                                     - 110 -
<Page>

               Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment
               which is immediately due and payable.

32.4    REVERSAL OF REDISTRIBUTION
        If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering
        Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance
        Party, then:

        (a)    each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant
               Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 32.2 (REDISTRIBUTION OF
               PAYMENTS) shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the
               Facility Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an
               amount equal to its share of the Sharing Payment (together with
               an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance
               Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment
               which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and

        (b)    that Recovering Finance Party's rights of subrogation in respect
               of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor
               will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so
               reimbursed.

32.5    EXCEPTIONS
        (a)    This Clause 32 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering
               Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to
               this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the
               relevant Obligor.

        (b)    A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other
               Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has
               received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration
               proceedings, if:

               (i)    it notified the other Finance Party of the legal or
                      arbitration proceedings; and

               (ii)   the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate
                      in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do
                      so as soon as reasonably practicable having received
                      notice or did not take separate legal or arbitration
                      proceedings.

        (c)    This Clause 32 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering
               Finance Party is an Ancillary Lender or a Hedging Bank and the
               amounts recovered are amounts which are owing under an Ancillary
               Facility or, as the case may be, a Hedging Agreement and are
               received at a time when no notice has been served by the Facility
               Agent under Clause 26.15 (ACCELERATION).

33.     PAYMENT MECHANICS

33.1    PAYMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGENT
        (a)    On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make
               a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall
               make the same available to the Facility Agent (unless a contrary
               indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due
               date at the time and in such funds specified by the Facility
               Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of
               transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

        (b)    Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial
               centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro,
               in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State
               or London) with such bank as the Facility Agent specifies.

33.2    DISTRIBUTIONS BY THE FACILITY AGENT
        Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents
        for another Party shall, subject to Clause 33.3 (DISTRIBUTIONS TO AN
        OBLIGOR) and Clause 33.4 (CLAWBACK) be made available by the Facility
        Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to
        receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a
        Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that
        Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five Business
        Days' notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the
        country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal
        financial centre of a Participating Member State or London).

33.3    DISTRIBUTIONS TO AN OBLIGOR
        (a)    The Facility Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in
               accordance with Clause 34 (SET-OFF)) apply any amount received by
               it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the
               currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that
               Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of
               any amount of any currency to be so applied.

        (b)    Each payment to an Obligor shall be made to such account with
               such bank as the Parent specifies.

33.4    CLAWBACK
        (a)    Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance
               Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to
               pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any
               related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to
               its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

        (b)    If the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it
               proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually
               received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the
               proceeds of any related exchange contract)

                                     - 112 -

                      amended; or

               (v)    the Parent becomes aware that the Designated Website or
                      any information posted onto the Designated Website is or

37.     CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES

37.1    ACCOUNTS
        In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in
        connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts
        maintained by a Finance Party are PRIMA FACIE evidence of the matters to
        which they relate.

37.2    CERTIFICATES AND DETERMINATIONS
        Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or
        amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error,
        conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

37.3    DAY COUNT CONVENTION
        Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will
        accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual
        number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days (or in the case of any
        Utilisation denominated in sterling, 365 days) or, in any case where the
        practice in the Relevant Interbank Market differs, in accordance with
        that market practice.

38.     PARTIAL INVALIDITY
        If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes
        illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any
        jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
        remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of
        such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way
        be affected or impaired.

        No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any
        Finance Party or Secured Party, any right or remedy under the Finance
        Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial
        exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or
        the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies
        provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
        rights or remedies provided by law.

                          GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT

42.     GOVERNING LAW
        This Agreement is governed by English law.

43.     ENFORCEMENT

43.1    JURISDICTION OF ENGLISH COURTS
        (a)    The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any
               dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
               (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or
               termination of this Agreement) (a "DISPUTE").

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

        (c)    This Clause 43.1 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties and
               Secured Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party or Secured
               Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a
               Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent
               allowed by law, the Finance Parties and Secured Parties may take
               concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

43.2    SERVICE OF PROCESS
        Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any
        relevant law, each Obligor (other than an Obligor incorporated in
        England and Wales):

        (a)    irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for service of
               process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts
               in connection with any Finance Document (and the Parent by its
               execution of this Agreement, accepts that appointment); and

        (b)    agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant
               Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings
               concerned.

THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO ON THE DATE STATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
AGREEMENT.

                                   SCHEDULE 4

                             MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1.      The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate
        Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank
        of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case,
        any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b)
        the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.      On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible
        thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a
        rate (the "ADDITIONAL COST RATE") for each Lender, in accordance with
        the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by
        the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost
        Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each
        Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate
        per annum.

3.      The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office
        in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that
        Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that
        Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable
        determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's
        participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying
        with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in
        respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4.      The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office
        in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as
        follows:

        (a)    in relation to a sterling Loan:

                          AB + C(B-D) + E x 0.01
                          ---------------------- PER CENT. PER ANNUM
                               100-(A + C)

        (b)    in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:

                          E X 0.01
                          -------- PER CENT. PER ANNUM
                            300

        Where:

        A      is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be
               in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time
               to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio
               deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio
               requirements.

        B      is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the
               Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional
               rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of Clause 12.3
               (DEFAULT INTEREST)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on
               the Loan.

                                     - 142 -
<Page>

        C      is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that
               Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest
               bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

        D      is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England
               to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

        E      is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the
               Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the
               average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the
               Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7
               below and expressed in pounds per L1,000,000.

5.      For the purposes of this Schedule:

        (a)    "ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES" and "SPECIAL DEPOSITS" have the meanings
               given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of
               England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of
               England;

        (b)    "FEES RULES" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the
               FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be
               in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for
               the acceptance of deposits;

        (c)    "FEE TARIFFS" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules
               under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any
               minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules
               but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

        (d)    "TARIFF BASE" has the meaning given to it in, and will be
               calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6.      In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in
        the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the
        formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting
        D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded
        to four decimal places.

7.      If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon
        as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority,
        supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that
        Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees
        Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial
        Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank
        as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference
        Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per L1,000,000 of
        the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

8.      Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent
        for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular,
        but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following
        information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

        (a)    the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

                                     - 143 -
<Page>

        (b)    any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably
               require for such purpose.

        Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to
        the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

9.      The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the
        rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall
        be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied
        to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that,
        unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each
        Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special
        Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction
        of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its
        Facility Office.

10.     The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such
        determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under
        compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the
        information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to
        paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.     The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a
        result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the
        Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided
        by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8
        above.

12.     Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in
        relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or
        any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error,
        be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

13.     The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the
        Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any
        amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to
        comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time
        to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority
        or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which
        replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall,
        in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all
        Parties.
