2        PERIOD OF THIS AGREEMENT

2.1      This Agreement  shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until
         terminated in accordance with clause 19 of this Agreement.

3        PROVISION OF SERVICES

3.1      Each Schedule  attached to and made a part of this Agreement  describes
         the  services  to be provided by Service  Provider to the  Company,  as
         amended  from time to time by written  agreement  of the  Parties  (the
         "Services").  The Parties  have made a good faith effort as of the date
         hereof to identify  each  Service  and to  complete  the content of the
         Schedules  accurately.  It is anticipated  that the Parties will modify
         the Services  from time to time. In that case or to the extent that any
         Schedule  is  incomplete,  the Parties  will use good faith  efforts to
         modify the  Schedules.  There are certain  terms that are  specifically
         addressed  in the  Schedules  attached  hereto that may differ from the
         terms provided hereunder.  In those cases, the specific terms described
         in the Schedules shall govern.

3.2      The Parties may also  identify  additional  Services  that they wish to
         incorporate  into this  Agreement.  The Parties will create  additional
         Schedules setting forth the description of such Services,  the fees for
         such Services and any other applicable terms.

3.3      Subject to the terms of this Agreement,  Service Provider undertakes to
         and  shall  provide  the  Services  to the  Company  to the best of its
         ability  at all  times  and to a  standard  that  would  reasonably  be
         expected of it by a professional, independent person or body.

3.4      Without prejudice to clause 3.3, to the extent that Service Provider is
         unable to perform  any part of the  Services  in  accordance  with this
         Agreement,   it  shall  advise  the  Company  as  soon  as   reasonably
         practicable.  In  addition,  Service  Provider  shall,  to  the  extent
         possible, advise the Company of a timetable for it to be able to resume
         full  performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement and
         the steps it is taking in that regard.  Service  Provider  shall notify
         the Company to the extent there is likely to be any deviation  from the
         timetable proposed.

3.5      The Parties  acknowledge and agree that Service  Provider and the Staff
         shall be entitled to provide  similar  services as the  Services to any
         other legal  entity,  provided  that in doing so the  operation  of the
         Company  is  not  unreasonably  prejudiced  and  the  provision  of the
         Services  to the  Company is not  materially  adversely  affected.  The
         Parties  further  acknowledge and agree that the Company may retain any
         individual or legal entity,  other than Service Provider and the Staff,
         to perform services similar or identical to the Services; provided that
         in doing so the ability of Service  Provider to perform any part of the
         Services in accordance with this Agreement is not materially  adversely
         affected.

4        PROVISION OF STAFF TO PERFORM THE SERVICES

4.1      Service Provider acknowledges it has been given sufficient  information
         to understand  and appreciate  the  requirements  and operations of the
         Company relating to the provision of the Services  currently  described
         in each Schedule.  Service  Provider shall and undertakes to provide at
         all times,  Staff or Non-SCA Third Party  Contractors  of the requisite
         calibre, and with appropriate training and experience and in sufficient
         numbers as required  by the  Company and as agreed  between the Parties
         and in accordance with the attached Schedules.

4.2      The Company  acknowledges  and agrees that at the  commencement of this
         Agreement  the Staff or Non-SCA  Third  Party  Contractors  provided to
         perform the Services are of

         the requisite calibre, have appropriate experience and training and are
         of a sufficient number.

4.3      If Service  Provider  cannot provide Staff to perform the Services,  it
         shall, with the agreement of the Company,  contract or subcontract with
         Non-SCA Third Party Contractors to provide all or part of the Services.
         The  direction and  management  of the Non-SCA Third Party  Contractors
         provided to perform the  Services on behalf of the Company  will be the
         responsibility  of Service  Provider,  unless  otherwise  agreed by the
         Parties in writing but only to the extent  that  Service  Provider  has
         contracted directly with such Non-SCA Third Party Contractors.

5        THIRD PARTY CONTRACTORS

         may in part be delegated or contracted or  subcontracted to Third Party
         Contractors by Service Provider.

5.2      Service Provider may enter into contracts with Third Party Contractors,
         including,  but not  limited  to, for the  provision  of the  Services,

         Company, whichever Service Provider reasonably deems appropriate and in
         the best interests of the Company.

5.3      When  entering into  contracts  with Third Party  Contractors,  Service
         Provider  will have  regard to the  stated  interests  of the  Company,

         Contractor, the terms, costs and period of the contract.

5.4      To  the  extent  Service   Provider   delegates  to,  or  contracts  or
         subcontracts  with, Third Party  Contractors to perform any part of the
         Services  or to perform  specific  functions,  Service  Provider  shall
         (remain  responsible  and) be  liable  to the  Company  for  the  (non)
         performance of the Services and the (non)  performance of such specific
         functions in their  entirety (and for the  oversight and  management of
         the Third Party  Contractors) and in accordance with clause 6.1. below,
         unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company.

         obligations  under Clause 15.1 (including  defence costs) caused by (i)
         the acts and/or omissions of Service Provider, its employees, directors
         and  officers  in  providing  the   Services,   (ii)  the  breaches  of
         obligations,  acts and/or  omissions  of Third Party  Contractors,  and

         conditions of this  Agreement.  Both Parties shall take all  reasonable
         steps to mitigate any loss including  pursuing  recovery from any third
         party. Where  appropriate,  the Parties further agree they will consult
         each other in respect of such steps in accordance with clause 10 below.

6.2      Service  Provider  shall not be liable to the Company in respect of any
         loss caused by acts of God, or any event beyond the reasonable  control
         of  the  Parties,   including  but  not  limited  to   nationalization,
         expropriation,   devaluation,   seizure,   or  similar  action  by  any
         government  authority,  de facto or de jure; or acts of war, terrorism,
         insurrection or revolution.

6.3      Service  Provider  agrees to take all  reasonable  steps to recover any

         Provided  that Service  Provider  complies  with such  obligation  in a
         timely  manner,  the  Company  agrees to delay  commencing  proceedings
         against Service

         Provider to enforce payment in respect of any claim,  which it may have
         under this Agreement  until such time as and to the extent that Service
         Provider has obtained  recovery  against any third party (including but
         not limited to Third Party Contractors and insurers) in respect of such
         losses.

7        INSURANCE

7.1      Service  Provider  undertakes it or one of its  affiliates has and will

         provide the Company (or its  designee)  with  reasonable  assistance to
         make an orderly transition from Service Provider to another supplier of
         the Services.  Service Provider  undertakes to work with the Company to

         associated with termination for each Party. Such transition  assistance
         shall include the following:
