of the Project Account, whether in addition to or by way of renewal, extension
or replacement of any moneys previously deposited in or credited to the Project

represented by new account numbers) or otherwise, together with any interest
from time to time accruing in respect of such moneys Provided Always that if at

and request of the Borrower, discharge or otherwise reassign, on a without
recourse or warranty basis (other than in respect of the Security Trustee's acts
or omissions constituting negligence or wilful default), to the Borrower or as
it may direct the Charged Property from the security hereby created.

4.   CONTINUING SECURITY

(A)  Continuing Obligations: The security created by this Charge shall
constitute and be a continuing security for the payment and discharge of the
Secured Debt notwithstanding any intermediate payment or settlement of account
or reduction or repayment of the Secured Debt for the time being owing or any
other matter or thing whatsoever, and shall be in addition to and shall not be
in any way prejudiced or affected by any of the other Financing Documents or any
collateral or other agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, right, remedy or
lien of whatever nature which the Security Trustee or any of the Secured Parties
may now or at any time hereafter have, or judgment or order obtained by the
Security Trustee or any of the Secured Parties, for or in respect of all or any
part of the Secured Debt nor shall any of the other Financing Documents or any
such collateral or other agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, right,
remedy or lien or judgment or order be in any way prejudiced or affected by this
Charge.

(B)  Unconditionality of Security: The security created by this Charge shall not
be discharged or affected by (1) any time, indulgence, concession, waiver or
consent at any time given to the Borrower or any other person, (2) any amendment
or supplement to or change in the terms of the Secured Debt, any of the other
Financing Documents or any other agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity,
right, remedy or lien, (3) the making or absence of any demand on the Borrower
or any other person for payment, (4) the enforcement or absence of enforcement
of any of the other Financing Documents or any other agreement, security,
guarantee, indemnity, right, remedy or lien, (5) the taking, existence or
release of any of the other Financing Documents or any other agreement,
security, guarantee, indemnity, right, remedy or lien, (6) the bankruptcy or
winding-up of the Borrower or any other person (or the commencement of any of
the foregoing), (7) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of or any
defect in any provision of any of the other Financing Documents or any other
agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, right, remedy or lien or any of the
obligations of any of the parties thereunder or (8) any other matter or thing
which but for the provisions of this sub-Clause (B) would operate to impair or
discharge the security created by this Charge.

<PAGE>   7
                                       5

(C)  Continuation/Opening of Accounts: In the event of the commencement of the
winding-up of the Borrower or of this Charge ceasing for any reason to be
binding on the Borrower or if the Security Trustee or any of the Secured Parties
shall at any time receives notice (either actual or otherwise) of any subsequent
or other mortgage, charge, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, lien or other like
interest, matter, event or transaction affecting the Charged Property or any
part of it, the Security Trustee and each of the Secured Parties may open a new
account or accounts for the Borrower in its books. If the Security Trustee or
any of the Secured Parties does not in fact open such new account then, unless
it gives express notice in writing to the Borrower to the contrary, the Security
Trustee and/or such Secured Party shall be treated as if it had in fact opened
such account or accounts at the time when it received or is deemed to have
received such notice. As from that time and unless such express notice in
writing shall be given to the Borrower by the Security Trustee and/or each of
the Secured Parties, all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
Security Trustee or any of the Secured Parties shall be credited, or treated as
having been credited, to a new account of the Borrower and not as having been
applied in reduction of the Secured Debt at the time when such notice was
received or deemed to have been received. For the avoidance of doubt, if a
payment which would (but for this sub-Clause (C)) have been applied in reduction
of the Secured Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Financing Documents
is instead credited to a new account of the Borrower under this sub-Clause (C),
then solely for the purpose of calculating interest accruing on the Secured
Debt, the Secured Debt shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of
that payment in accordance with such application of that payment.

(D)  Suspense Account: Any amount received or recovered by the Security Trustee
or any of the Secured Parties in respect of any amount received or recovered
pursuant to this Charge and/or any of the powers hereby conferred may be placed
by the Security Trustee or such Secured Party in a suspense account (which shall
be interest-bearing, where practicable) with a view to preserving the rights of
such party to prove for the whole of the Secured Debt. That amount may be kept
there (with any interest accrued being credited to that account) unless and
until the Borrower is not obliged to pay any further sum under the Credit
Agreement and the Security Trustee or such Secured Party has irrevocably
received or recovered its share of the Secured Debt.

5.   CRYSTALLISATION OF FLOATING CHARGE

     After the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, the Security Trustee shall
be entitled at any time by notice in writing to the Borrower to convert the
floating charge created by Clause 3 into a fixed charge affecting all property
and assets which for the time being are the subject of such floating charge or,
as the case may be, such of the said property and assets as are specified by
such notice and, in such an event, the Borrower covenants with the Security
Trustee, upon demand, to execute, at the Borrower's own cost, as a continuing
security for the payment or discharge of the Secured Debt, a first fixed charge
on substantially the same terms herein contained of all or any part of the
Charged Property (or such part thereof as is specified in such notice) which is
for the time being subject to such floating charge.

6.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Borrower represents and warrants to and for the benefit of the Security
Trustee and each of the Secured Parties as follows:-

     (1)  Ownership: it is and will at all times be the sole and beneficial
          owner of the Charged Property;

     (2)  Existing Security: no security exists on or over any of the Charged
          Property except for the security created by this Charge or otherwise

     (3)  Repetition: each of the above representations and warranties will be
          correct and complied with on the date of each request for an Advance,
          on the date on which each Advance (as defined in the Phase 2 Credit

          EDB Guarantee (as defined in the Phase 2 Credit Agreement), the date
          on which the EDB Guarantee is issued and each Interest Payment Date
          (as defined in the Phase 2 Credit Agreement) as if repeated then by
          reference to the then existing circumstances.

7.   UNDERTAKINGS

     The Borrower hereby undertakes to the Security Trustee and each of the
Secured Parties that:-

          (or agree, conditionally or unconditionally, to create) or have
          outstanding any security on or over any part of the Charged Property
          or any interest in the Charged Property, except for the security
          created by this Charge;

     (3)  Impairment of Security: it will not take or omit to take any action
          the taking or omission of which will result in any impairment of this

          Security Trustee may from time to time reasonably require to be done
          for the purpose of enforcing the rights of the Security Trustee and

(including but not limited to all those powers vested in the Security Trustee
under or pursuant to Clause 8) unless such actions, losses, claims, proceedings,

constituted by this Charge, the Security Trustee sees fit to exercise its rights

think expedient.

given or made by the Security Trustee or any of the Secured Parties on the faith
of any such assurance, security or payment, shall prejudice or affect the right
of the Security Trustee to enforce the security created by this Charge in
respect of the full extent of the moneys thereby secured. Any such release,
settlement or discharge shall be deemed to be made subject to the condition that
it will be void, if any payment or security which the Security Trustee or any of

Debt, is set aside under any applicable law or proves to have been for any
reason invalid.

(A)  Rights/Remedies: No failure on the part of the Security Trustee to
exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this

exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this
Charge are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
law.

(B)  Waiver/Consent: Any waiver or consent by the Security Trustee under this

otherwise reassign, on a without recourse or warranty basis (other than in
respect of the Security Trustee's acts or omissions constituting negligence or
wilful default), to the Borrower or as it may direct the Charged Property from
the security hereby created.

4.   CONTINUING SECURITY

(A)  Continuing Obligations: The security created by this Charge shall
constitute and be a continuing security for the payment and discharge of the
Secured Debt notwithstanding any intermediate payment or settlement of account
or reduction or repayment of the Secured Debt for the time being owing or any
other matter or thing whatsoever, and shall be in addition to and shall not be
in any way prejudiced or affected by any of the other Financing Documents or any
collateral or other agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, right, remedy or
lien of whatever nature which the Security Trustee or any of the Phase 2 Secured
Parties may now or at any time hereafter have, or judgment or order obtained by
the Security Trustee or any of the Phase 2 Secured Parties, for or in respect of
all or any part of the Secured Debt nor shall any of the other Financing
Documents or any such collateral or other agreement, security, guarantee,
indemnity, right, remedy or lien or judgment or order be in any way prejudiced
or affected by this Charge.

(B)  Unconditionality of Security: The security created by this Charge shall not
be discharged or affected by (1) any time, indulgence, concession, waiver or
consent at any time given to the Borrower or any other person, (2) any amendment
or supplement to or change in the terms of the Secured Debt, any of the other
Financing Documents or any other agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity,
right, remedy or lien, (3) the making or absence of any demand on the Borrower
or any other person for payment, (4) the enforcement or absence of enforcement
of any of the other Financing Documents or any other agreement, security,
guarantee, indemnity, right, remedy or lien, (5) the taking, existence or
release of any of the other Financing Documents or any other agreement,

obligations of any of the parties thereunder or (8) any other matter or thing
which but for the provisions of this sub-Clause (B) would operate to impair or
discharge the security created by this Charge.

(C)  Continuation/Opening of Accounts: In the event of the commencement of the
winding-up of the Borrower or of this Charge ceasing for any reason to be
binding on the Borrower or if the Security Trustee or any of the Phase 2 Secured
Parties shall at any time receives notice (either actual or otherwise) of any
subsequent or other mortgage, charge, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, lien or
other like interest, matter, event or transaction affecting the Charged Property
or any part of it, the Security Trustee and each of the Phase 2 Secured Parties
may open a new account or accounts for the Borrower in its books. If the
Security Trustee or any of the Phase 2 Secured Parties does not in fact open
such new account then, unless it gives express notice in writing to the Borrower
to the contrary, the Security Trustee and/or such Secured Party shall be treated
as if it had in fact opened such account or accounts at the time when it
received or is deemed to have received such notice. As from that time and unless
such express notice in writing shall be given to the Borrower by the Security
Trustee and/or each of the Phase 2 Secured Parties, all payments by or on behalf
of the Borrower to the Security Trustee or any of the Phase 2 Secured Parties
shall be credited, or treated as having been credited, to a new account of the
Borrower and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Debt at the
time when such notice was received or deemed to have been received. For the
avoidance of doubt, if a payment which would (but for this sub-Clause (C)) have
<PAGE>   6
                                       4

been applied in reduction of the Secured Debt in accordance with the provisions
of the Financing Documents is instead credited to a new account of the Borrower
under this sub-Clause (C), then solely for the purpose of calculating interest
accruing on the Secured Debt, the Secured Debt shall be deemed to have been
reduced by the amount of that payment in accordance with such application of
that payment.

(D)  Suspense Account: Any amount received or recovered by the Security Trustee
or any of the Phase 2 Secured Parties in respect of any amount received or
recovered pursuant to this Charge and/or any of the powers hereby conferred may
be placed by the Security Trustee or such Secured Party in a suspense account
(which shall be interest-bearing, where practicable) with a view to preserving
the rights of such party to prove for the whole of the Secured Debt. That amount
may be kept there (with any interest accrued being credited to that account)
unless and until the Borrower is not obliged to pay any further sum under the
Credit Agreement and the Security Trustee or such Secured Party has irrevocably
received or recovered its share of the Secured Debt.

5.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Borrower represents and warrants to and for the benefit of the Security
Trustee and each of the Phase 2 Secured Parties as follows:-

Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) all or any of the
powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by

law.

transfer all or any part of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder.

17.  PARTIAL INVALIDITY
