     For the purposes (and only for the purposes) of permitting the utilisation

     action hereafter in relation to the Specified Defaults.  In

     addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,

3.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
     Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and the Banks

     complete in all material respects on and as at the date hereof except to

     earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete in all
     material respects on and as at such earlier date;

3.3  after the Effective Date each Obligor has performed all agreements to be
     performed on its part as set out in the Credit Agreement;

3.4  each Obligor is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the

     to execute and delivery this Agreement and to perform the transactions
     contemplated hereby;

3.5  neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the performance
     of the transactions contemplated hereby, violates or will violate (i) any
     law, regulation, decree or other legal restriction applicable to any
     Obligor; (ii) the charters, by-laws or other constitutional documents of
     any Obligor; or (iii) any instrument or agreement to which any Obligor or

     or performance of this Agreement save for the filing or registration of any

3.7  this Agreement has been duly authorised, executed and delivered by each of

     binding obligations of such Obligor;

3.8  all information provided to the Facility Agent in connection with this
     Agreement was or will be as at the time it was given, true, in all respects

     provided by any Person other than the Company or its advisers, as far as
     the board of directors is aware, was true to the best of its
<PAGE>

     knowledge or belief at the date supplied) and each Obligor represents that

     when such information was provided to the Facility Agent and the date
     hereof which would render such information to be untrue, inaccurate or
     incomplete in any respect;

     precedent referred to in sub-paragraphs (ii) to (iv) above, the relevant
     date may be extended by the Facility Agent acting in its absolute
     discretion to a date on which the relevant condition subsequent shall be
     satisfied) .

5.   UNDERTAKINGS

     Each Obligor undertakes to the Agents and the Banks that:

     negotiate in good faith with the Agents and the Banks to vary the

     liable under the Credit Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by Dutch
     law;

5.2  notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Amendment
     and Restatement Agreement or the Credit Agreement, no Obligor shall, after

5.3  it shall use its best endeavours to ensure that (i) the Company sells all
     of the Non-Core Assets within a timescale (the "Disposal Timescale")
     acceptable to the Banks (such
<PAGE>

     timescale to be delivered to the Banks in accordance with the terms of
     Clause 4.2 hereof) and (ii) the Company pays an amount equal to the
     proceeds of the sale of such Non-Core Assets (net of the reasonable costs
     and expenses, including any applicable Taxes, incurred in arranging or
     effecting such disposal as agreed between the Company and the Agents and,
     in the case of any disposal of any member of the South African Group, after
     repayment of any Financial Indebtedness owing under local banking
     facilities granted to such member of the South African Group) to the
     Facility Agent which shall apply the same in prepayment and cancellation of
     the Facilities in accordance with the terms of Clause 11.14 unless
     otherwise agreed by all of the Banks in their sole and absolute discretion.

6.   ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT BY GUARANTORS

     professional advisers in considering the position of the Group under the
     Credit Agreement.

8.   MISCELLANEOUS

8.1  Counterparts

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
     different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
     executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
     counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;

8.2  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
     attached to a single document so that all signature pages are physically

<PAGE>

8.3  Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act

     The Facility Agent hereby notifies the Company in accordance with the terms
     of the Credit Agreement that this Agreement shall be a Finance Document for
     the purposes of the Credit Agreement.

9.   JURISDICTION

9.1  Courts of England

     For the benefit of each Finance Party, each of the Obligors agree that the
     courts of England have jurisdiction to hear and settle any action, suit,
     proceeding or dispute in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
     Senior Finance Documents and therefore irrevocably submits to the
     jurisdiction of those courts.

9.2  Non-exclusivity

     The submission to the jurisdiction of the English courts does not restrict
     the right of a Finance Party to take proceedings against an Obligor in
     connection with this Agreement or any of the other Senior Finance Documents
     in any other court of competent jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

9.3  Service of process agent

     (a)  In addition to any other appropriate method of service, each of the
          Non-UK Obligors irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceeding
          may be served on it by being delivered to Derby Holding Limited at 62
          Triumph Road, Nottingham, NG7 2DD, England or its registered office
          and confirms that it has appointed the Company as its agent for such
          purpose.

     (b)  Each of the Non-UK Obligors confirms that failure by its process agent
          to notify it of receipt of any process will not invalidate the
          proceedings to which it relates.

     (c)  If the appointment of a process agent ceases to be effective, the
          relevant Non-UK Obligor shall immediately appoint a further Person in
          England as its process agent in respect of this Agreement and each of
          the other Senior Finance Documents and notify the Facility Agent of
          such appointment. If such a Person is not appointed within 15 days of
          such notification the Facility Agent shall be entitled to appoint such
          a Person.
<PAGE>

9.4  Non-convenience of forum

     Each of the Non-UK Obligors confirms that the English courts are not an
     inconvenient forum and irrevocably waives any right it may have to object
     to them on the grounds of inconvenience or otherwise.

10.  GOVERNING LAW

     This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with
     English Law.


THE PARTIES have entered into this Agreement on the date stated at the

                                  SCHEDULE 7
                      AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT

1.   Replace in Clause 1.1 (Definitions) each of the following definitions:

(a)  the definition of "Chief Executive Officer " with the following:

     ""Executive Chairman" means Alan Finden-Crofts or, in his absence, his
     deputy (being an Authorised Signatory of the Company) and their respective
     successors from time to time."

     and all references in the Credit Agreement to "Chief Executive Officer"
     shall be deemed to be deleted and replaced with references to "Executive
     Chairman"; and

(b)  the definition of "Chief Financial Officer " with the following:

     ""Chief Financial Officer" means John Burdett or, in his absence, his
     deputy (being an Authorised Signatory of the Company) and their respective
     successors from time to time and whether described as "Chief Financial
     Officer" or "Group Financial Controller".".

2.   Insert after Clause 11.13 (European Economic and Monetary Union) the
     following new clause:

     "11.14 Voluntary prepayment

     (a)  Tranche A Revolving Facility

     The Obligors' Agent may, by giving to the Facility Agent not less than 10
     Business Days' prior notice to that effect, prepay the whole or any part
     (being a minimum amount of DM1,000,000) of the Tranche A Advance whereupon
     any such amounts so received by the Facility Agent shall be distributed pro
     rata among the Additional Banks in the proportion of their participation in
     such Advance.

     (b)  Tranche B Revolving Facility

     (i)  Provided that all Advances under the Tranche A Revolving Facility have
          been prepaid or repaid in full, the Obligor's Agent may by giving to
          the Facility Agent not less than 10 Business Days prior notice to that
          effect, prepay the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of
          DM1,000,000) of the Tranche B Advance whereupon any such amounts so
          received by the Facility Agent shall be distributed pro rata among the
          Original Banks in the proportion of their participation in such
          Advance.

     (ii) To the extent that an Original Bank does not have any participations
          in any Advances outstanding under the Tranche B Revolving Facility,
          the Obligors hereby confirm that any amounts prepaid under Clause
          (b)(i) above may be held by the Facility Agent on behalf of such
          Original Bank as cash collateral against a Standby L/C to be applied
          against the liabilities of such Original Bank following a demand under
          such Standby L/C or otherwise until any Standby L/Cs due to expire so
          expire without the Banks party to such Standby L/Cs being required to
          make any (or any further) payment thereunder.
<PAGE>

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any
          amounts prepaid under this Agreement shall not be available to be
          reborrowed and the Revolving Tranche A Facility Available Amount and
          the Revolving Tranche B Facility Available Amount and the Total
          Commitments shall, as appropriate, be reduced and cancelled by the
          amount of such prepayment.

3.   Delete Clause 19.5(b)(xi) of the Credit Agreement and renumber (xii) of
     that Clause accordingly.

4.  Replace Schedule 1 of the Credit Agreement with the following:



                                  "SCHEDULE 1
