     3.4  The Company shall reimburse the Agents and the Banks for reasonable
          costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by them

     Periods of the Company (taken together as one period) means the operating
     income of the Group for such period:

     before taking into account all Extraordinary Items (whether positive or

     before taking into account any Transaction Costs required to be expensed
     through the income statement up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6,200,000
     in the annual Accounting Period ending 31 December 1998 whether an
     Extraordinary Item or otherwise and any one-off payments of premia or
     otherwise made by any Group Member in connection with Hedging Protection
     Agreements entered into in accordance with the Approved Hedging Programme
     within 30 days of the date of this Agreement;

     before taking into account to the extent deducted from operating income any
     amounts expended that relate solely to Year 2000 Expenditure to the extent
     that such expenditure, when aggregated with any other Year 2000 Expenditure
     incurred since the date of this Agreement and prior to 31 December 1999
     does not exceed $2,700,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies);

     before deducting income tax expense;

     before deducting charges to depreciation and amortisation excluding
     amortisation attributable to a prepaid cash item arising in the ordinary
     course of business, the amortisation of any goodwill and amortisation of
     Transaction Costs in an amount not exceeding $8,800,000 in aggregate in all
     Accounting Periods post Closing;

     before deducting Interest (whether accrued, paid, deferred or capitalised)
     as an obligation of any Group Member or Interest accrued in favour of, or
     paid to, any Group Member;

     after deducting (to the extent otherwise included in operating income) any
     gain over book value arising in favour of the Group on the sale, lease or
     other disposal of any fixed or intangible asset during such period and any
     gain arising on any revaluation of any fixed or tangible asset during such
     period;

     after adding back (to the extent otherwise deducted in operating income)
     any loss against book value incurred by the Group on the sale, lease or
     other disposal of any fixed or intangible asset during such period and any
     loss arising on any revaluation of any fixed or intangible assets during
     such period;

     after deducting (to the extent otherwise included) the amount of retained
     profit (or adding back the retained loss) of any Group Member (other than
     the Company) which is attributable to the interest of any shareholder of
     or, as the case may be, partner in such Group Member which is not a Group
     Member other than the amount of retained profit or the amount of the
     retained loss of RIC which is attributable to such non-Group Member's
     interest in RIC Preference Shares for

     provision was not originally increased by reducing operating income) or

     avoidance of doubt, any income related to the defined benefit pensions
     plans of the Group recognised in accordance with FAS 87 and FAS 132 shall
     be deducted when calculating Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and any
     unrealised income or loss in respect of the change in the mark to market

     and FAS 133 where such contracts are in accordance with the Approved
     Hedging Programme, shall not be included when calculating Consolidated
     Adjusted EBITDA;

            the Company and provided that such sub-limit shall be reduced by the
            amount by which loans made by the Company to management to enable
            the purchase of shares in the Company are repaid in cash. For the
            avoidance of doubt the aggregate of all loans in cash to any person

     Accounting Period or Clause 19.1(a)(ii) for a quarterly Accounting Period,

<PAGE>

6.   Clause 26.2 (Utilisation Fee) shall be deleted and replaced by the
     following:-

     "Save at any time where the applicable Margin is 2.50% per annum in which
     case no such utilisation fee will be payable, the Company will pay (or will
     procure that there is paid) to the Facility Agent for distribution among
     the Banks pro rata to the aggregate of their respective Revolving
     Commitments in respect of each Utilisation Period (as defined below) a
     utilisation fee calculated at the rate per annum determined pursuant to
     Clause 26.3 on an amount equal to the sum of the average daily Deutschmark
     Amount of the Ancillary Facilities during such Utilisation Period and the

     Facility during such Utilisation Period (without double counting)."

WHEREAS:

(A)  By a facility agreement dated 12 May 1998 as amended and restated pursuant
     to an amendment and restatement agreement dated 3 February 1999 and as
     further amended pursuant to an amendment agreement dated 30 April 1999 and
     as further amended pursuant to an Amendment Agreement dated 31 August 1999
     and as further amended by the terms of this Amendment Agreement
     (collectively the "Facility Agreement") entered into between the parties
     hereto, the Banks have agreed to make certain credit facilities available
     to the Borrowers.

(B)  The Parties hereto, with effect from the date hereof, have agreed to amend
     the Facility Agreement in the manner set out in Schedule 4.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:

1.   Interpretation

     Unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions defined in the
     Facility Agreement shall have the same meaning herein.

2.   Amendments

     Each of the parties agrees that, as from the date of this Agreement, the
     amendment referred to at Schedule 4 shall become effective (subject to the
     provisions of Clause 3.8).

3.   General

     3.1  The Facility Agreement and this Agreement shall be read and construed
          as a single document.

     3.2  References in the Facility Agreement to the Facility Agreement
          howsoever characterised shall with effect from the date hereof be
          references to the Facility Agreement as amended by this Agreement.

     3.3  On the date hereof, the Obligors represent and warrant that no Event
          of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred which has not
          been remedied or otherwise

                                                                               1

          waived by the Banks and no Event of Default or Potential Event of
          Default would occur as a result of the Obligors entering into this
          Agreement.

     3.4  The Company shall reimburse the Agents and the Banks for reasonable
          costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by them

          preparation and execution of this Agreement and any related
          documentation.

     3.5  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by

     3.6  The Facility Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as
          amended by this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the

          Facility Agreement and agrees that such Guarantee continues in full
          force and effect notwithstanding this Agreement.

     3.7  Nothing contained herein, shall constitute a waiver of any Event of
          Default or Potential Event of Default and the Banks expressly reserve
          all or any rights and remedies they may have in relation to the same.

     3.8  The Company shall procure within 10 days of the date of this Agreement
          that it delivers to the Facility Agent a copy of the resolutions of
          the members of each Obligor certified by an Authorised Signatory (or
          appropriately authorised person of such Obligor) ratifying, approving,
          and confirming the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
          Company as Obligors' Agent and any other communication or documents
          delivered by or on behalf of each Obligor in connection herewith.

     3.9  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
          English law.
