                           RENAISSANCE WORLDWIDE, INC.

                      1998 INTERNATIONAL STOCK OPTION PLAN

1.    PURPOSE

      The purpose of this International Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to
advance the interests of Renaissance Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") by
enhancing the ability of its non-U.S. subsidiaries (individually a "Foreign
Subsidiary" and collectively the "Foreign Subsidiaries") to attract and retain
directors, employees, consultants or advisers who are in a position to make
significant contributions to the success of the Company, to reward them for
their contributions and to encourage them to take into account the long-term
interests of the Company.

      The Plan provides for the award of options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock ("Stock"). Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be
non-incentive options.

2.    ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARDS

      Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan shall be all directors,
including directors who are not employees, of the Foreign Subsidiaries and all
executive officers of the Foreign Subsidiaries and their subsidiaries and other
employees, consultants and advisers (collectively, "Optionees") who, in the
opinion of the Board, are in a position to make a significant contribution to
the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. A subsidiary for purposes of
the Plan shall be a corporation in which the Company owns, directly or
indirectly, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock. Persons selected for awards under the Plan are referred to
herein as "participants."

3.    ADMINISTRATION

      The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of
the Company. The Board shall have authority, not inconsistent with the express
provisions of the Plan, (a) to grant awards consisting of options to such
participants as the Board may select; (b) to determine the time or times when
awards shall be granted and the number of shares of Stock subject to each award;
(c) to determine the terms and conditions of each award; (d) to prescribe the
form or forms of any instruments evidencing awards and any other instruments
required under the Plan and to change such forms from time to time; (e) to
adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the
Plan; and (f) to interpret the Plan and to decide any questions and settle all
controversies and disputes that may arise in connection with the Plan. Such
determinations of the Board shall be conclusive and shall bind all parties.
Subject to Section 9 the Board shall also have the authority, both generally and
in particular instances, to waive compliance by a participant with any
obligation to be performed by the participant under an award, to waive any
condition or provision of an award, and to amend or cancel any award (and if an
award is canceled, to grant a new award on such terms as the Board shall
specify) except that the Board may not take any action with respect to an
<PAGE>

outstanding award that would adversely affect the rights of the participant
under such award without such participant's consent. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall be construed as limiting the power of the Board to make
adjustments required by Section 5(c) and Section 6(i).

      The Board may, in its discretion, delegate some or all of its powers with
respect to the Plan to a committee (the "Committee"), in which event all
references in this Plan (as appropriate) to the Board shall be deemed to refer
to the Committee. The Committee, if one is appointed, shall consist of at least
two directors. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a
quorum, and all determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of
its members. Any determination of the Committee under the Plan may be made
without notice or meeting of the Committee by a writing signed by a majority of
the Committee members.

4.    EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

      The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company.

      No awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion often years
from the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board, but awards previously
granted may extend beyond that date.

5.    SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

      a. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(c),
the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered upon the exercise
of awards granted under the Plan shall be 250,000. If any award granted under
the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, or upon exercise is
satisfied other than by delivery of Stock, the number of shares of Stock as to
which such award was not exercised shall be available for future grants within
the limits set forth in this Section 5(a).

      b. Shares to be Delivered. Shares delivered under the Plan shall be
authorized but unissued Stock or, if the Board so decides in its sole
discretion, previously issued Stock acquired by the Company and held in its
treasury. No fractional shares of Stock shall be delivered under the Plan.

      c. Changes in Stock. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or
combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the Company's capital
stock, the number and kind of shares of Stock subject to awards then outstanding
or subsequently granted under the Plan, the exercise price of such awards, the
maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, and
other relevant provisions shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose
determination shall be binding on all persons.

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

      The Board may also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding
awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding awards to take into
consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles,
extraordinary dividends, consolidations or mergers (except those described in
Section 6(i)), acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or any other
event if it is determined by the Board that such adjustment is appropriate to
avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan.

6.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

      a. Exercise Price of Options. The exercise price of each option shall be
determined by the Board, but the exercise price, in the case of an original
issue of authorized stock, shall not be less than par value.

      b. Duration of Options. Options shall be exercisable during such period or
periods as the Board may specify. The latest date on which an option may be
exercised (the "Final Exercise Date") shall be the date that is ten years from
the date the option was granted or such earlier date as the Board may specify at
the time the option is granted.

      c. Exercise of Options

            (1) Options shall become exercisable at such time or times and upon
      such conditions as the Board shall specify. In the case of an option not
      immediately exercisable in full, the Board may at any time accelerate the
      time at which all or any part of the option may be exercised.

            (2) Options may be exercised only in writing. Written notice of
      exercise must be signed by the proper person and furnished to the Company,
      together with (i) such documents as the Board may require and (ii) payment
      in full as specified below in Section 6(d) for the number of shares for
      which the option is exercised.

            (3) The delivery of Stock upon the exercise of an option shall be
      subject to compliance with (i) applicable laws and regulations, (ii) if
      the outstanding Stock is at the time listed on any stock exchange, the
      listing requirements of such exchange, and (iii) Company counsel's
      approval of all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and
      delivery of such Stock. If the sale of Stock has not been registered under
      the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may require, as a
      condition to exercise of the option, such representations or agreements as
      counsel for the Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of
      such Act and may require that the certificates evidencing such Stock bear
      an appropriate legend restricting transfer.

            (4) The Board shall have the right to require that the participant
      exercising the option remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy
      any U.S. or foreign federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements
      (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

      Company with regard to such taxes) prior to the delivery of any Stock
      pursuant to the exercise of the option. If permitted by the Board, either
      at the time of the grant of the option or the time of exercise, the
      participant may elect, at such time and in such manner as the Board may
      prescribe, to satisfy such withholding obligation by (i) delivering to the
      Company Stock (which in the case of Stock acquired from the Company shall
      have been owned by the participant for at least six months prior to the
      delivery date) having a fair market value equal to such withholding
      obligation, or (ii) requesting that the Company withhold from the shares
      of Stock to be delivered upon the exercise a number of shares of Stock
      having a fair market value equal to such withholding obligation.

            (5) If an option is exercised by the executor or administrator of a
      deceased participant, or by the person or persons to whom the option has
      been transferred by the participant's will or the applicable laws of
      descent and distribution, the Company shall be under no obligation to
      deliver Stock pursuant to such exercise until the Company is satisfied as
      to the authority of the person or persons exercising the option.

            (6) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent
      that the granting or exercise of an option or the delivery of Stock upon
      exercise of an option are subject to different or additional requirements
      or restrictions particular to the Optionees of the Foreign Subsidiary that
      is the subject of a Schedule to the Plan, as described in Section 9, the
      grant or exercise of such option or the delivery of Stock upon exercise of
      such option shall be subject to such different or additional requirements
      or restrictions set forth in such Schedule.

      d. Payment for and Delivery of Stock. Stock purchased upon exercise of an
option under the Plan shall be paid for as follows:

            (1) in cash or by personal check, certified check, bank draft or
      money order payable to the order of the Company; or

            (2) if so permitted by the Board, (A) through the delivery of shares
      of Stock (which, in the case of Stock acquired from the Company, shall
      have been held for at least six months prior to delivery) having a fair
      market value on the last business day preceding the date of exercise equal
      to the purchase price or (B) by delivery of a promissory note of the
      participant to the Company, such note to be payable on such terms as are
      specified by the Board or (C) by delivery of an unconditional and
      irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the Company
      sufficient funds to pay the exercise price or (D) by any combination of
      the permissible forms of payment; provided, that if the Stock delivered
      upon exercise of the option is an original issue of authorized Stock, at
      least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of such
      Stock shall be paid other than by a personal check or promissory note of
      the person exercising the option.

                                       -4-
<PAGE>

      e. Rights as Shareholder. A participant shall not have the rights of a
shareholder with regard to awards under the Plan except as to Stock actually
received by the participant under the Plan.

      f. Nontransferability of Awards. Except as the Board may otherwise
determine, no award may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and during a participant's lifetime an award may be
exercised only by the participant.

      g. Death. If a participant dies, each option held by the participant
immediately prior to death may be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable
immediately prior to death, by the participant's executor or administrator or by
the person or persons to whom the option is transferred by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time within the one-year
period (or such longer or shorter period as the Board may determine) beginning
with the date of the participant's death but in no event beyond the Final
Exercise Date. All options held by a participant immediately prior to death that
are not then exercisable shall terminate on the date of death.

      h. Termination of Service Other Than By Death. If an employee's employment
with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than by
death, all options held by the employee that are not then exercisable shall
terminate. Options that are exercisable on the date employment terminates shall
continue to be exercisable for a period of three months (or such longer period
as the Board may determine, but in no event beyond the Final Exercise Date)
unless the employee was discharged for cause that in the opinion of the Board
casts such discredit on the employee as to justify termination of the employee's
options. After completion of the post-termination exercise period, such options
shall terminate to the extent not previously exercised, expired or terminated.
For purposes of this Section 5(h), employment shall not be considered terminated
(i) in the case of sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved for
purposes of the Plan by the Board, so long as the employee's right to
reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract, or (ii) in the case
of a transfer of employment between the Company and a subsidiary or between
subsidiaries, or to the employment of a corporation (or a parent or subsidiary
corporation of such corporation) issuing or assuming an option.

      In the case of a participant who is not an employee, provisions relating
to the exercisability of options following termination of service shall be
specified in the award. If not so specified, all options held by such
participant that are not then exercisable shall terminate upon termination of
service. Options that are exercisable on the date the participant's service as a
director, consultant or adviser terminates shall continue to be exercisable for
a period of three months (or such longer period as the Board may determine, but
in no event beyond the Final Exercise Date) unless the director, consultant or
adviser was terminated for cause that in the opinion of the Board casts such
discredit on him or her as to justify termination of his or her options. After
completion of the post termination exercise period, such options shall terminate
to the extent not previously exercised, expired or terminated.

                                      -5-

      i. Mergers, etc. In the event of a change of the Company Stock resulting
from a merger or similar reorganization as to which the Company is the surviving
corporation, the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be purchased
pursuant to an option under the Plan and the number and kind of shares then
subject to options granted hereunder and the price per share thereof shall be
appropriately adjusted in such manner as the Board may determine equitable to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights available or granted hereunder.

            (1) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, a merger or a
      similar reorganization which the Company does not survive, or a sale of
      all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall cause every
      option hereunder to terminate, to the extent not then exercised, unless
      any surviving entity agrees to assume the obligations hereunder; provided,
      however, that, in the case of such a merger or similar reorganization, or
      such a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, if
      there is no such assumption, the Board may provide that some or all of the
      unexercised portion of any one or more of the outstanding options shall be
      immediately exercisable and vested as of such date prior to such merger,
      similar reorganization or sale of assets as the Board determines.

            (2) If any person or group, other than the Company, any of its
      subsidiaries or affiliates or any employee benefit plan of the Company,
      either publicly or in a written communication to the Company or to its
      Board, makes a tender or exchange offer or other bona fide offer to
      acquire directly or indirectly voting securities under circumstances such
      that, immediately after such acquisition, such person or group would
      beneficially own voting securities with aggregate voting power
      representing 20% or more of the total voting power of the Company, the
      Board may in its sole discretion provide that all outstanding options
      shall immediately become fully exercisable.

7.    EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

      Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of awards shall confer upon
any participant any right to continue as an employee or director of, or
consultant or adviser to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary or affect in
any way the right of the Company or parent or subsidiary to terminate them at
any time. Except as specifically provided by the Board in any particular case,
the loss of existing or potential profit in awards granted under this Plan shall
not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of the
relationship of a participant even if the termination is in violation of an
obligation of the Company to the participant by contract or otherwise.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

8.    EFFECT,DISCONTINUANCE, CANCELLATION, TERMINATION,AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

      Neither adoption of the Plan nor the grant of awards to a participant
shall affect the Company's right to make awards to such participant that are not
subject to the Plan, to issue to such participant Stock as a bonus or otherwise,
or to adopt other plans or arrangements under which Stock may be issued.

      The Board may at any time discontinue granting awards under the Plan. With
the consent of the participant, the Board may at any time cancel an existing
award in whole or in part and grant another award for such number of shares as
the Board specifies. The Board may at any time or times amend the Plan or any
outstanding award for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the Code or
of any changes in applicable laws or regulations or for any other purpose that
may at the time be permitted by law, or may at any time terminate the Plan as to
further grants of awards, but no such amendment shall adversely affect the
rights of any participant (without the participant's consent) under any award
previously granted.

9.    RULES PARTICULAR TO SPECIFIC FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES

      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions
of this Plan may be amended with respect to a particular Foreign Subsidiary by
means of an addendum to the Plan in the form of a Schedule, and to the extent
that the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule conflict with any
provisions of this Plan, the provisions of the Schedule shall govern. Terms and
conditions set forth in the Schedule shall apply only to options issued to
Optionees of the Foreign Subsidiary that is the subject of the Schedule and
shall not apply to options issued to Optionees of any other Foreign Subsidiary.
The adoption of any such Schedule shall be subject to the approval of the Board.

discretion, grant Options under the Plan to Eligible Employees.

3.2 The Directors may adopt such procedure as they think fit for granting
Options, whether by invitation to Eligible Employees to apply for Options or by
granting Options without issuing invitations, PROVIDED THAT any documentation
used in such procedure is approved in advance by the Inland Revenue.

3.3 The Company shall issue to each Option Holder an Option Certificate which,
except where the Option is granted in consideration of the payment by the
Eligible Employee of (pound)1, shall be executed under seal (or in such other
manner as shall take effect as a deed of the Company) and which shall be in such
form as the Directors shall from time to time determine (subject to the approval
of the Inland Revenue). The Option Certificate shall include details of:

the case may be) has become unfair or impractical, they may, in their discretion
(provided such discretion is exercised fairly and reasonably), amend, relax,
waive or substitute such constraints or conditions so amended, relaxed, waived
or substituted would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, be no more or less
difficult to abide by or satisfy than when they were originally imposed or last
amended or relaxed (as the case may be).

<PAGE>

3.4 Each Eligible Employee to whom an Option is granted may by notice in writing
within 30 days of the Date of Grant disclaim in whole or in part his rights
under the Option in which case the Option shall for all purposes be deemed never
to have been granted.

3.5 Where an Option is to be granted pursuant to an invitation and the
Subscription Price is determined by reference to the market value of a share on
the date of the invitation (or such earlier time agreed between the Company and
the Inland Revenue), the Option must be granted no later than thirty days from
the date of the invitation or such earlier date.

3.6 Notwithstanding paragraph 6(f) of the Plan, no Option may be transferred,
assigned or charged and any purported transfer, assignment or charge shall cause
the Option to lapse forthwith.

4     LIMITATION ON GRANTS

No Option shall be granted to an Eligible Employee under the UK Scheme if as a
result the total Subscription Price of the Shares issuable on the exercise of
such Option when aggregated with the total market price at the relevant Date of
Grant of shares still capable of being issued on the exercise of options
previously granted to him under the UK Scheme and Any Other Approved Scheme
would exceed (pound)30,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency, taking as
the rate of exchange the spot rate for the currency in question on the date of
the grant of the Option as quoted by any of the Company's bankers from time to
time) or such other amount as may be prescribed by statute from time to time.

5     EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

5.1 Subject to Rules 5.2, 6 and 7, any Option which has not lapsed may be
exercised in whole or in part in accordance with the vesting schedules contained
on the Option Certificate.

      5.2 An Option shall lapse on the earliest of the following events:

            i the tenth anniversary of its Date of the Grant or such earlier
date specified pursuant to Rule 3.3 (d).

            ii the end of the relevant exercise period specified in Rule 5.4.

            iii the Option Holder ceasing to be director or employee of any

      5.4 i An Option may be exercised by an Option Holder within a period of

            iii An Option may be exercised, to the extent that the Option was
exercisable on the date of cessation by an Option Holder within the period of
ninety days following the date on which he ceases to hold any office or
employment with a Participating Company or an Associated Company of a
Participating Company on account of:

            a retirement at contractual retirement age including late
              retirement; or

            b early retirement by agreement with his employer; or

            c redundancy and injury; or

            d any other reason in the absolute discretion of the Directors.

6     EXERCISE OF OPTIONS: MERGER: SALE OF ASSETS

      6.1 Except as otherwise determined by the Board, a merger or a similar
reorganisation which the Company does not survive, or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall cause every Option
hereunder to terminate, to the extent not then exercised, unless any surviving
entity agrees to assume the obligations hereunder pursuant to Rule 7; provided,
however, that, in the case of such a merger or similar reorganisation, or such a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, if there is no
such assumption, the Board may provide that some or all of the unexercised
portion of any one or more of the outstanding Options shall be immediately
exercisable as of such date prior to such merger, similar reorganisation or sale
of assets as to the Board determines.

      6.2 If any person or group, other than the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates or any employee benefit plan of the Company, either
publicly or in a written communication to the Company or to its Board of
Directors, makes a tender or exchange offer or other bona fide offer to acquire
directly or indirectly voting securities under circumstances such that,
immediately after such acquisition, such person or group would beneficially own
voting securities with aggregate voting power representing 20% or more of the
total voting power of the Company, the Board may in its sole discretion provide
that all outstanding options shall immediately become fully exercisable.

7     REPLACEMENT OF OPTIONS ON CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

      7.1 Rule 7.2 shall apply where an Acquiring Company obtains Control of the
Company as a result of making:

            (a) a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued share capital
of the Company (other than that which is already owned by it and/or any of its
subsidiaries) made on a condition such that if it is satisfied the Acquiring
Company will have Control of the Company; or

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

            (b) a general offer to acquire all the Shares (or such Shares as are
not already owned by the Acquiring Company and/or by any of its subsidiaries);

      7.2 An Option Holder may, at any time within the appropriate period as
defined in Rule 7.4 by agreement with the Acquiring Company, release any of his
Option(s) (the "Old Option" for the purposes of this Rule 7) in consideration of
the grant to him of a new option (the "New Option" for the purposes of this
paragraph) PROVIDED THAT any New Option satisfies the conditions of Rule 7.3.

      7.3 The New Option must:

      (a) be over shares in the Acquiring Company or a Controlling Company which
shares satisfy the conditions specified in paragraphs 10 to 14 inclusive of
Schedule 9 (and the term "Shares" in the UK Scheme shall thereafter be construed
accordingly);

      (b) be a right to acquire such number of shares which on acquisition of
the New Option have an aggregate market value (determined in accordance with
Part VIII of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992) equal to the aggregate
market value (determined on a like basis) of the Shares the subject of the Old
Option immediately before its release; and

      (c) have a subscription price per share such that the aggregate price
payable on complete exercise of the New Option equals the aggregate price which
would have been payable on complete exercise of the Old Option at the time of
its release.

      7.4 The appropriate period referred to in Rule 7.2 is a period six months
commencing on the date when the Acquiring Company making the offer has obtained
Control of the Company and any condition subject to which the offer is made is
satisfied.

      7.5 The New Option shall be exercisable in the same manner as the Old
Option and in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme as it had effect in
relation to the Old Option immediately before its release (references to the
term "Option" in the Scheme being construed accordingly), and the New Option
shall, for all purposes of the Scheme other than clause 7.6, be treated as
having been granted on the date when the corresponding Old Option was granted.

      7.6 With effect from the grant of a New Option hereunder, Rules 5, 6, 7,
8, 9 and 11 shall, in relation to the New Option, be construed as if references
to the Company were references to the Acquiring Company, or as the case may be,
the Controlling Company.

8     MANNER OF EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

      8.1 No Option may be exercised by an individual at any time when he is
precluded by paragraph 8 of Schedule 9 from participating in the Scheme.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

      8.2 No Option may be exercised at any time when the shares which may
thereby be acquired do not satisfy the conditions specified in paragraphs 10-14
of Schedule 9.

      8.3 The Board shall determine the manner in which Options may be
exercised. Payment shall be made either in cash, by cheque or by a combination
of cash and cheque.

      8.4 The relevant Shares shall be allotted or transferred (as the case may
be) within 28 days following such delivery and, accordingly in cases where
Shares are to be transferred, the Company shall use its best endeavors to ensure
due transfer thereof. At the request of the Option Holder, the Shares may be
allotted or transferred (as the case may be) to a nominee provided the Option
Holder has beneficial ownership of the Shares at the time of such allotment or
transfer.

9     VARIATIONS IN THE SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

      9.1 The number of Shares over which an Option is granted and the
Subscription Price thereof may, subject to the prior approval of the Inland
Revenue, be adjusted in such manner as the Directors shall determine following
any capitalization issue, subdivision, consolidation or reduction of share
capital and in respect of any discount element in any rights issue or other
variation of share capital to the intent that (as nearly as may be possible
without involving fractions of a Share or a Subscription Price calculated to
more than two decimal places) the Acquisition Price payable in respect of an
Option shall remain unchanged.

      9.2 All Option Holders shall be notified in writing of any such
adjustments as soon as practicable thereafter and the Company shall be entitled
to call in the instruments evidencing the grant of the Options affected by such
adjustments for endorsement or replacement, as may appear appropriate.

                                      -16-

10    ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

      10.1 Subject to Rule 10.2, the Board may at any time:

            (a) amend by resolution all or any of the provisions of the UK
Scheme;

            (b) make such changes to any Option as may be necessary or
appropriate from time to time so that Options granted under the UK Scheme will
continue to be non-qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code as in
existence from time to time; and

            (c) make such other changes in the UK Scheme as from time to time
the Board deems advisable without further action on the part of the stockholders
of the Company, PROVIDED THAT the Board may not; increase the number of Shares
authorized for the UK scheme; reduce the Subscription Price to an amount less
than 100% of the Market Value at the time of granting of the Option; change the
class of employees eligible to receive Options under the UK Scheme; adversely
affect or impair (except as authorized or elsewhere under the UK Scheme) any
Option previously granted under the UK Scheme; materially increase the benefits
accruing to Option Holders under the UK Scheme.

10.2 No amendment to the UK Scheme shall be effective until approved by the
Board of Inland Revenue and nothing shall be done to the UK Scheme which would
prejudice the obtaining of the approval of the Board of Inland Revenue or cause
it to be withdrawn.

10.3 The Board may at any time by resolution and without other formality amend
the UK Scheme in any way to the extent necessary to secure and maintain the
approval of the Board of Inland Revenue and to ensure that such approval is not
withdrawn pursuant to any statutory modification of the provisions of the Taxes
Act.

10.4 On any such amendment being made by the Board all Option Holders shall be
notified in writing as soon as possible thereafter.

10.5 The UK Scheme shall remain in effect until and shall terminate on such date
as the Board determines in accordance with section 8 of the rules of the Plan.
The Board may not grant Options under the UK Scheme after that date but Options
granted before that date will continue to be effective in accordance with their
terms.

11    ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

      11.1 The Company shall at all times maintain an amount of authorized and
unissued Shares sufficient to satisfy outstanding Options under the UK Scheme
or, where appropriate, be able to procure that sufficient Shares are available
for transfer to satisfy all Options under which

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

Shares may be acquired.

      11.2 Every Option shall be subject to the condition that no Shares shall
be issued or transferred to an Option Holder following the exercise of an Option
if such issue would be contrary to any enactment or regulation for the time
being in force of the United Kingdom or of any other country having jurisdiction
in relation thereto. The Company shall not be bound to take any action to obtain
that such issue or transfer shall be in accordance with any such enactment or
regulation if such action could in the opinion of the Board be unduly onerous.

      11.3 The rights and obligations of a Option Holder under his terms of
employment with any Participating Company shall not be affected by his
participation in the UK Scheme and the UK Scheme shall not afford to a Option
Holder any right to continued employment or any additional right to compensation
in consequence of the termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever.

     Agent, a participation to the extent of such Lender's Commitment Percentage
     (calculated with respect to the Revolving Commitments) in such Letter of
     Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities.

          (b)  Letter of Credit Request Procedure.  Except for Letters of
               ----------------------------------

     not less than three (3) Business Days prior notice (effective upon receipt)
     specifying the date of each Letter of Credit and the nature of the
     transactions to be supported thereby.  Upon receipt of such notice

     Lender who holds a Revolving Commitment of the contents thereof and of such
     Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of the proposed Letter of
     Credit.  Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date that does not

     Documents shall control.

          (c)  Letter of Credit Fees.  Borrower will pay to Administrative
               ---------------------
     Agent for the account of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment a fee
     on such Lender's Commitment Percentage (calculated with respect to the
     Revolving Commitments only) of the daily average amount available for
     drawings under the Letters of Credit, such fee (i) to be paid in arrears on
     the last Business Day of each calendar quarter occurring after the date of
     the issuance of the first Letter of Credit and on each last Business Day of
     each calendar quarter thereafter until the date of expiration or
     termination of all Letters of Credit and (ii) to be calculated at a rate
     per annum equal to the Libor Rate Margin applicable to the Revolving Loans
     on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed
     (including the first day but excluding the last day).  After receiving any
     payment of any fees under this clause (c), Administrative Agent will
                                    ----------
     promptly pay to each Lender that holds a Revolving Commitment the fees then
     due such Lender.  Borrower will also pay to the Fronting Bank for its
     account only a fronting fee on the amount available to be drawn under each
     Letter of Credit, such fronting fee (i) to be paid in advance on the date
     of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and (ii) to be calculated at a
     rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) on the basis of
     a year of 360 days and the actual number of days such Letter of Credit is
     to be outstanding (including the first day but excluding the last day).
     Borrower will also pay to the Fronting Bank, for its account only, all
     customary fees for amendments to and processing of the Letters of Credit.

          (d)  Funding of Drawings.  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any
               -------------------
     Letter of Credit of any demand for payment or other drawing under such
     Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall promptly so notify Administrative
     Agent and Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Borrower and each
     Lender that holds a Revolving Commitment as to the amount to be paid as a
     result of such demand or drawing and the respective payment date.  Not
     later than 2:00 p.m. on the applicable payment date if Borrower has not
     reimbursed the Fronting Bank for the amount paid as a result of such demand
     or drawing, each Lender will make available to Administrative Agent, at the
     Principal Office, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such
     Lender's Commitment Percentage (calculated based only on the Revolving
     Commitments) of the amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing
     which has not been reimbursed even if the conditions to a Loan under
     Article 8 hereof have not been satisfied and Administrative Agent shall
     ---------
     promptly pay such amounts to the Fronting Bank.

          (e)  Reimbursements.  Borrower shall be irrevocably and
               --------------
     unconditionally obligated to immediately reimburse the Fronting Bank
     (through Administrative Agent) for any amounts paid by the Fronting Bank
     upon any demand for payment or drawing under any Letter of Credit, without
     presentment, demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind.  All
     payments on the Reimbursement Obligations shall be made to Administrative
     Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the corresponding payment
     under the Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank; provided, that
                                                      --------
     Administrative Agent has provided notice to Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. on
     such day that such payment is due.  In the event such notice is received
     after 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such payment shall be due not later
     than 1:00 p.m. on the next

                                       24

     succeeding Business Day. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this
     Agreement, such reimbursement may be made by Borrower requesting a
     Revolving Loan in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, the proceeds of which
                                       -----------
     shall be credited against Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations.
     Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender participating in a Letter of
     Credit such Lender's Commitment Percentage (calculated based only on the
     Revolving Commitments) of all amounts received from Borrower for
     application in payment, in whole or in part, to the Reimbursement
     Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such
     Lender has made payment to Administrative Agent in respect of such Letter
     of Credit pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 2.7.
                           ----------         -----------

          (f)  Reimbursement Obligations Absolute.  The Reimbursement
               ----------------------------------
     Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall be absolute,
     unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
     accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents under all circumstances
     whatsoever and Borrower hereby waives any defense to the payment of the
     Reimbursement Obligations based on any circumstance whatsoever, including,
     without limitation, in either case, the following circumstances: (i) any
     lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other
     Loan Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim,
     defense, or other rights which any Loan Party or any other Person may have
     at any time against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, the Fronting
     Bank, Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in
     connection with any Loan Document or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any
     statement, draft, or other documentation presented under any Letter of
     Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any
     respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
     whatsoever; (iv) payment by the Fronting Bank under any Letter of Credit
     against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with
     the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (v) any other circumstance
     whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except in each
     instance as otherwise provided in the penultimate sentence of clause (g) of
                                                                   ----------

          (g)  Assumption of Risk by Borrower.  As among Borrower and the
               ------------------------------
     Lenders, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse
     of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such
     Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
     subject to the provisions of the applications for the issuance of Letters
     of Credit, the Lenders, the Fronting Bank, and Administrative Agent shall
     not be responsible for:

               (i)  the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness, or
          legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection
          with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts
          with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove
          to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
          fraudulent, or forged;

               (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
          or assigning, or purporting to transfer or assign, any Letter of
          Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
          whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
          reason;

                                       25
<PAGE>

               (iii)  the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to
          comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter
          of Credit;

               (iv)   errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in
          transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph,
          telex, or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;

               (v)    errors in interpretation of technical terms;

               (vi)   any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
          document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of
          Credit or of the proceeds thereof;

               (vii)  the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of
          Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or

               (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control
          of any Lender or the Fronting Bank, including, without limitation, any
          acts of any Governmental Authorities.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the
Lenders, the Fronting Bank or Administrative Agent's rights or powers under this
Section 2.7.  Borrower shall have a claim against the Fronting Bank, and the
-----------
Fronting Bank shall be liable to Borrower, to the extent of any direct (but not
indirect, consequential, remote, exemplary or punitive) damages suffered by
Borrower or its Subsidiaries which Borrower proves in a final nonappealable
judgment were caused by (A) the Fronting Bank's willful  misconduct or gross
negligence in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit
complied with the terms thereof or (B) the Fronting Bank's willful failure to
pay under any Letter of Credit after presentation to it of documentation
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.
Subject to the preceding sentence, the Fronting Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

     Section 2.8  Borrowing Base.  Percentages used from time to time in
                  --------------
calculating the Borrowing Base are for the sole purpose of determining the
maximum amount of the Outstanding Revolving Credit that may be outstanding from
time to time under this Agreement, and shall not be evidentiary of or binding
upon Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to the market value or
liquidation value of any Collateral.  Funding of Revolving Loans and issuance of
Letters of Credit hereunder shall at all times remain subject to confirmation by
Administrative Agent of Eligible Receivables and the Borrowing Base.  Any
request for a Revolving Loan which, if funded, would result in the unpaid
balance of the Revolving Loans being in excess of the amount allowed by this
Agreement may be declined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion without
prior notice.

the event Borrower fails to select the Type of Account applicable to a Loan, or
the duration of any Interest Period for any Libor Account, within the time
period and otherwise as provided in this Section 5.3, such Account (if
                                         -----------
outstanding as a Libor Account) will be automatically Converted into a Base Rate
Account on the last day of the preceding Interest Period for such Account or (if
outstanding as a Base Rate Account) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding)
will be made as, a Base Rate Account.  Borrower may not borrow any Loans subject
to a Libor Account, Convert any Base Rate Accounts into Libor Accounts, or
Continue any Libor Account as a Libor Account if the Applicable Rate for such
Libor Accounts would exceed the Maximum Rate.

     Section 5.4  Prepayments.

          (a)  Mandatory.
               ---------

               (i)   Revolving Loans.  If at any time the Outstanding Revolving
                     ---------------
          Credit exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Borrowing
          Base, Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence
          thereof, prepay outstanding Swingline Advances (first) and the
          outstanding Revolving Loans by the amount of such excess.

               (ii)  Prepayments from Asset Dispositions.  Immediately upon
                     -----------------------------------
          receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the Net Proceeds of
          any Asset Disposition, Borrower shall make a prepayment in respect of
          the Obligations equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds in prepayment
          of the Loans as provided in Section 5.4(a)(iv); provided, however,
                                      ------------------  --------  -------
          that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
          Borrower shall not be required to make such prepayment to the extent
          that the Net Proceeds from such Asset Dispositions during any fiscal
          year of Borrower do not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in
          the aggregate and if they should exceed such amount, then the excess
          amount only shall be required to be prepaid.  Concurrently with the
          making of any such payment, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative
          Agent a certificate of Borrower's chief financial officer
          demonstrating the calculations of the amount required to be prepaid.

               (iii) Prepayments from Debt Offerings.  In the event that
                     -------------------------------
          Borrower, or any Subsidiary of Borrower issues any Debt Securities
          (including, without limitation, any

                                       31

          Subordinated Debt Securities), other than Debt described in clauses

          ---         ---    ------------
          Business Day following the date of receipt of the proceeds from such
          issuance, Borrower shall make a prepayment in respect of the
          Obligations equal to the amount of such proceeds, net of underwriting
          discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs associated
          therewith, in prepayment of the Loans as provided in Section

          5.4(a)(iv).
          ----------

               (iv) Application of Proceeds of Prepayments.  All prepayments of
                    --------------------------------------
          Loans pursuant to this Section 5.4(a) shall be accompanied by an
                                 --------------
          appropriate notice of prepayment in accordance with Section 5.3 and,
                                                              -----------
          except to the extent otherwise provided in clause (i), shall be
                                                     ----------
          applied to the Term Loans, pro rata with respect to each remaining
          installment of principal, until the Term Loans are paid in full.  Upon
          payment of the Term Loans in full, the prepayments made pursuant to
          this Section 5.4(a) shall be applied to permanently reduce the
               --------------
          Revolving Commitments.

          (b)  Optional.  Subject to Section 5.2 and the provisions of this
               --------              -----------
     clause (b), Borrower may, at any time and from time to time without premium
     ----------
     or penalty upon prior notice to Administrative Agent as specified in
     Section 5.3, prepay or repay any Loan in full or in part; provided that the
     -----------
     optional prepayments of the Loans shall be applied first to any outstanding
     Swingline Advances (until such advances are paid in full) and then to the
     Outstanding Loans other than the Swingline Advances.  Any optional
     prepayment of the Term Loans shall be accompanied with accrued interest on
     the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment.  Any partial prepayments of
     the Term Loans shall be applied to installments due under the Term Loans,
     pro rata with respect to each remaining installment of principal.  Loans
     subject to a Libor Account may be prepaid or repaid only on the last day of
     the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrower pays to
     Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, any
     amounts due under Section 6.5 as a result of such prepayment or repayment.
                       -----------

     Section 5.5  Method of Payment.  Except as otherwise expressly provided
                  -----------------
herein, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by
Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made to
Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of each Lender's
Applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without
set-off, deduction, or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 noon on the date on
which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on
such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day).  Borrower shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to
Administrative Agent the sums payable under the Loan Documents to which such
payment is to be applied (and in the event that Borrower fails to so specify, or
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may
apply such payment to the Obligations in such order and manner as it may elect
in its sole discretion, subject to Section 5.6 and provided that when applying
                                   -----------
any such amounts to any Loans, Loans subject to Base Rate Accounts shall be
prepaid in full prior to any application to Loans subject to Libor Accounts);
provided, however that, unless Bank of America expressly agrees to the contrary,
such payment shall be applied first to any outstanding Swingline Advances until
such advances are paid in full.  Each payment received by Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document for the account of a Lender shall be paid to such Lender
by 3:00 p.m. on the date the payment is deemed made to Administrative

                                       32
<PAGE>

Agent in immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender's
Applicable Lending Office. Whenever any payment under any Loan Document shall be
stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and commitment
fee, as the case may be.

     Section 5.6  Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided
                  ------------------
herein: (a) each Loan shall be made by the Lenders holding Commitments for such
Loan, each payment of commitment fees under Sections 2.5 and letter of credit
                                            ------------
fees under subsection 2.7(c) shall be made for the account of the Lenders
           -----------------
holding Revolving Commitments and each termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be applied to the Commitments of the Lenders holding the
applicable Commitments, pro rata according to their respective Commitment
Percentages (calculated with respect to the Commitments for the Loans in
question only); (b) the making, Conversion, and Continuation of Accounts of a
particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 6.4) shall be
                                                        -----------
made pro rata among the Lenders holding Accounts of such Type according to their
respective Commitment Percentages (calculated with respect to the Commitments
for the Loans in question only); (c) each payment and prepayment of principal of
or interest on Loans or Reimbursement Obligations by Borrower shall be made to
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding such Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations (or participation interests therein) pro rata in
accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans or
participation interests held by such Lenders; provided that as long as no
                                              --------
default in the payment of interest exists, payments of interest made when
Lenders are holding different types of Accounts applicable to the same Loan as a
result of the application of Section 6.4, shall be made to the Lenders in
                             -----------
accordance with the amount of interest owed to each; and (d) the Lenders holding
Revolving Commitments shall purchase from the Fronting Bank participations in
the Letters of Credit to the extent of their respective Commitment Percentages
(calculated only with respect to the Revolving Commitments).  All payments of
the Term Loans shall be applied pro rata with respect to each remaining
installment of principal.  If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any
amount distributed by Administrative Agent hereunder is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent as a preference,
fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
law, then each Person receiving any portion of such amount agrees, upon demand,
to return the portion of such amount it has received to Administrative Agent.

     Section 5.7  Sharing of Payments.  If a Lender shall obtain payment of
                  -------------------
any principal of or interest on any of the Obligations due to such Lender
hereunder directly (and not through Administrative Agent) through the exercise
of any right of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim, or similar right, or
otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in
the Obligations held by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the
Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the
unpaid principal of and interest on the Obligations then due to each of them.
To such end, all of the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among
themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter rescinded or must otherwise be
restored.  Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Obligations
held by the other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's lien,
counterclaim, or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were a direct holder of

                                       33
<PAGE>

Obligations in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall
require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any
Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with
respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.

     Section 5.8  Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent.  Unless
                  --------------------------------------------
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (the
"Payor") prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to
 -----
Administrative Agent hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment to
Administrative Agent, for the account of one or more of the Agents or the
Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the "Required
                                                                   --------
Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not
-------
intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative
Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance
upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof
available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in

such payment shall, on demand, pay to Administrative Agent the amount made
available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period
commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent
until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such period, and (b) Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to offset against any and all sums to be paid to such

     Section 5.9  Participation Obligations Absolute; Failure to Fund
                  ---------------------------------------------------
Participation.  The obligations of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to
-------------
fund its participation in the Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms
hereof shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents under all
circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances: (a) any lack of validity of any Loan Document; (b) the occurrence
of any Default; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense,
or other right which such Lender, any Loan Party, or any other Person may have;
(d) the occurrence of any event that has or could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or any other Loan Party; (e) the failure
of any condition to a Loan under Article 8 hereof to be satisfied; (f) the fact
                                 ---------
that after giving effect to the funding of the participation the Outstanding
Revolving Credit may exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Borrowing
Base; or (g) any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.  If a Lender fails to fund its participation in a Letter of
Credit as required hereby, such Lender shall, subject to the foregoing proviso,
remain obligated to pay to Administrative Agent the amount it failed to fund on
demand together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the
date such amount should have been funded until the date the amount was actually
funded to Administrative Agent at a rate per amount equal to the Federal Funds
Rate for such period and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset
against any and all sums to be paid to such Lender hereunder the amount due
Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank under this sentence.

               --------------
     Change or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with
     any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
     Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

               (i)   shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
          Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Libor
          Accounts, its Notes, or its obligation to make Libor Accounts, or
          change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or
          its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Notes in
          respect of any Libor Accounts (other than franchise taxes or taxes
          imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender by the
          jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized, has its principal
          office or such Applicable Lending Office or is doing business);

               (ii)  shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve,
          special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the
          Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted
          Libor Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of,
          or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such
          Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitments
          of such Lender hereunder; or

          Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
          this Agreement or its Notes or any of such extensions of credit or
          liabilities or commitments;

     and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
     Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into,
     Continuing, or maintaining any Libor Accounts or to reduce any sum received
     or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
     Agreement or its Notes with respect to any Libor Accounts, then Borrower
     shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will
     compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction, as then or
     previously incurred.  If any Lender requests compensation by Borrower under
     this Section 6.1(a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to
          --------------
     Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or
     maintain Libor Accounts, or to Convert Base Rate Accounts into Libor
     Accounts, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases
     to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be
                                                      -----------
     applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of
                  --------
     such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

          (b)  Capital Adequacy.    If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall

     have determined that any Regulatory Change has or would have the effect of
     reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any
     corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender's
     obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such
     corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or
     directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital
     adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material,
     then from time to time upon demand, Borrower shall pay to

                                       35

     such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
     Lender for such reduction.

          (c)  Claims Under this Section 6.1.  Each Lender shall promptly
               -----------------------------
     notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has
     knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender
     to such compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1 and will designate a
                                           -----------
     different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need
     for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the
     judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it.  Any Lender
     claiming compensation under this Section 6.1 shall furnish to Borrower and
                                      -----------
     Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or
     amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence
     of manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
     reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

     Section 6.2  Limitation on Libor Accounts.  If on or prior to the first
                  ----------------------------
day of any Interest Period for any Libor Account:

          (a)  Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
     conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate
     for such Interest Period; or

          (b)  the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be
     conclusive) and notify Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Libor Rate
     will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding
     Libor Accounts for such Interest Period;

then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying
the amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the
Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Libor Accounts, Continue
Libor Accounts, or to Convert Base Rate Accounts into Libor Accounts and
Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for
the outstanding Libor Accounts, either prepay such Libor Accounts or Convert
such Libor Accounts into  Base Rate Accounts in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

     Section 6.3  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                  ----------
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Libor Accounts hereunder,
then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof
and such Lender's obligation to make or Continue Libor Accounts and to Convert
Base Rate Accounts into Libor Accounts shall be suspended until such time as
such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Libor Accounts (in which case the
provisions of Section 6.4 shall be applicable).

     Section 6.4  Treatment of Affected Accounts.  If the obligation of any
                  ------------------------------
Lender to make a particular Libor Account or to Continue, or to Convert Base
Rate Accounts into, Libor Accounts shall be suspended pursuant to Section 6.1 or
                                                                  -----------

-----------                                             -----------------
such Lender's Affected Accounts shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate
Accounts on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
Affected Accounts (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 6.3

such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer
-----------    -----------
exist:

          (a)  to the extent that such Lender's Affected Accounts have been so
     Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
     be applied to such Lender's Affected Accounts shall be applied instead to
     its Base Rate Accounts; and

          (b)  all Accounts that would otherwise be made or Continued by such
     Lender as Libor Accounts shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
     Accounts, and all Accounts of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted
     into Libor Accounts shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as)
     Base Rate Accounts.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent)
that the circumstances specified in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 hereof that gave
                                    -----------    -----------
rise to the Conversion of such Lender's Affected Accounts no longer exist (which
such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a
time when Libor Accounts made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's
Base Rate Accounts shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the
next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Libor Accounts, to the
extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Accounts held by the
Lenders holding Libor Accounts and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to
principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages.

     Section 6.5  Compensation.  Upon the request of any Lender, Borrower shall
                  ------------
pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or
expense (including, without limitation, any such amounts incurred in connection
with syndication of the Loans) incurred by it as a result of:

          (a)  any payment, prepayment, or Conversion by Borrower of a Libor
     Account for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of
     the Loans pursuant to Section 13.2) on a date other than the last day of

     or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties,

laws of a jurisdiction outside the U.S., on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on
the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a
Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if
requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent (but only so long as
such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Borrower and
Administrative Agent with (a) if such Lender is a "bank" within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or
4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax
treaty to which the U.S. is a party which reduces to zero the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable

payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment

security for the Obligations if a Default has then occurred and is continuing.

     (c)  If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower will
cause all proceeds of insurance paid to it or any other Loan Party on account of
the loss of or damage to any Property of any Loan Party and all awards of

Borrower), to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general, time, demand,
provisional, or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any
and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under
any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such
Lender shall have made any demand under such Loan Documents and although such
obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) after any such set-off and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
--------
such set-off and

                                       68

sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party),

Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall,
unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity. Bank of America (and any successor acting as Administrative
Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender)
accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to,
and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust, or other business with any
Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not acting as
Administrative Agent, and Bank of America (and any successor acting as

connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the
same to the Lenders.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint
a successor Administrative Agent, which successor agent shall be subject to the
approval of Borrower if and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by
the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)
days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under
the laws of the U.S. having combined capital and surplus of at least One Hundred
Million Dollars ($100,000,000), which successor agent shall be subject to the
approval of Borrower if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 14 shall continue in effect

     Section 14.9  Several Commitments.  The Commitments and other obligations
                   -------------------
of the Lenders under any Loan Document are several.  The default by any Lender
in making a Loan in accordance with its Commitment shall not relieve the other
Lenders of their obligations under any Loan Document.  In the event of any
default by any Lender in making any Loan, each nondefaulting Lender shall be
obligated to make its Loan but shall not be obligated to advance the amount
which the defaulting Lender was required to advance hereunder.  No Lender shall
be responsible for any act or omission of any other Lender.

FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON. SUBJECT TO THE
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR

                                                ------------
INDEMNITY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR
PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT BY BORROWER, ITS DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OR CREDITORS OR
ANY PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON AND WHETHER
OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED.

     Section 15.3  Limitation of Liability.  None of the Agents, any Lender,
                   -----------------------
or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent thereof shall
have any liability with respect to Borrower, and, by the execution of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party, each other Loan Party, hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special,
indirect, incidental, consequential, remote, exemplary or punitive damages
suffered or incurred by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in
any way related to any of the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Loan Documents.

     Section 15.4  No Duty.  All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other

     Section 15.5  No Fiduciary Relationship.  The relationship between the
                   -------------------------
Loan Parties on the one hand and the Agents and each Lender on the other is
solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither any of the Agents nor any Lender
has any fiduciary or other special relationship with any Loan Parties, and no
term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem
the relationship between the Loan Parties on the one hand and any of the Agents
and each Lender on the other to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

     Section 15.6  Equitable Relief.  Borrower recognizes that in the event
                   ----------------
any Loan Party fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the
obligations under the Loan Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be
inadequate relief to the Agents and the Lenders.  Borrower therefore agrees that
the Agents and the Lenders, if Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so
request, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any
such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and
no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under any
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power, or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or
privilege.  The rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

               (ii)  except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an
          assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this
          Agreement or an assignment by a Lender to one of its Related Funds,

     the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such
     assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender
     hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment,

     deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption
     from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 6.7.

     Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
     error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each
     Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all
     purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection
     by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
     reasonable prior notice.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance
     executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note or Notes subject to

     Section 15.12  Maximum Interest Rate.
                    ---------------------

          (a)  No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time
     exceed the Maximum Rate.  If at any time the interest rate (the "Contract
                                                                      --------
     Rate") for any Obligation shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing
     ----
     the interest accruing on such Obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate,
     then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such Obligation
     shall not reduce the rate of interest on such Obligation below the Maximum
     Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such Obligation
     equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such
     Obligation if the Contract Rate for such Obligation had at all times been
     in effect.

          (b)  No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or
     the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by
     applicable law.  If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby
     provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan
     Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the
     provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower
     nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of Borrower shall be
     obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum
     paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto.
     In the event any Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any
     such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount
     permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of
     the principal of the Obligations; and, if the principal of the Obligations
     has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to
     Borrower.  In determining whether or not the interest paid

                                       78
<PAGE>

     or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and each Lender shall, to the
     extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal
     payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude
     voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
     allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
     throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that interest
     for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

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

1.  The Borrower is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its
    operations in the ordinary course of business. The Borrower is not currently
    involved in any legal proceedings which would reasonably be expected to have
    a Material Adverse Effect. However, please be advised of the following
    current litigation matters:

    1.         Vikas Rijsinghani. Claim by a terminated employee of Neoglyphics
          Media Corporation ("Neoglyphics") that he is owed a substantial number
          of stock options that were not dispersed to him, a performance bonus
          and additional severance compensation, all of which are set forth in
          his recent demand letter. The Company has responded with a denial of
          these claims.

    2.         Gilbert Zoghlin. Ropes & Gray represents the Borrower, in an
          action entitled Gilbert Zoghlin v. Renaissance Worldwide, Inc., in the
          United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
          Civil Action No. 99C 1965. This action, commenced in March, 1999, is
          brought by a group of shareholders who allege both federal and state-
          law claims in connection with a transaction in which a wholly-owned
          subsidiary of the Borrower, NGMC Acquisition Corp., merged with and
          into Neoglyphics, a corporation owned by the plaintiff-shareholders.
          The complaint alleges that, in connection with this transaction, an
          officer of NGMC Acquisition Corp., acting on behalf of the Borrower,
          denied knowledge of any information that would materially affect the
          value of the Borrower stock or of the merger agreement; the complaint
          further alleges that the officer did, in fact, have knowledge of such
          information at the time. The plaintiffs claim that, by withholding
          this information, the Borrower violated the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934 ((S) 10(b) and Rule 10b-5), the Illinois Securities Laws (815
          ILCS 5/1 et seq.), the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business
          Practices Act (815 ILCS 505/1 et seq.), committed common law fraud,
          and breached representations and warranties set forth in the Merger
          Agreement. The case is in its earliest stage; only the Complaint has
          been filed.

     3.        Douglas St. Clair. Ropes & Gray represents the Borrower in
          defense of a civil action styled Douglas St. Clair, and all others
                                           ---------------------------------

          ------------
          No. 99-10832- RCL). The lawsuit has been brought by a former systems
          administrator/computer consultant who worked for the Borrower between
          December, 1997 and March 1998. In his Complaint, the plaintiff alleges
          that he and others similarly situated to him have been improperly
          denied overtime compensation to which they are entitled,
