        not limited to the conditions set forth in Clause 16), the Bank agrees
        to make  available to the Borrower a revolving  loan facility  whereby

        to make  available  to the Borrower a guarantee  facility  whereby the

        maximum   aggregate   principal  U.S.   Dollar  Amount  not  exceeding
        US$15,000,000 at any one time.

3       Loan Facility

3.1     The proceeds of the Advances shall be utilised by the Borrower (a) for

        or (b) for the general corporate purposes of the Borrower    *

3.2     The Bank shall not be obliged to concern itself with such utilisation.

3.3     When the Borrower wishes to borrow an Advance hereunder, it shall give
        to the Bank  notice in  writing  (which  shall be  irrevocable)  to be
        received  by the Bank no later  than  10.00  a.m.  (London  time)  two
        Business Days prior to the proposed date for borrowing specifying:

        Borrower at the Bank.

3.5     If any Advance is not advanced after notice of borrowing  therefor has
        been served  pursuant to Clause 3.3 as a result of a failure to fulfil
        any of the conditions precedent set out in Clause 16 or as a result of
        the Borrower  failing to comply with this Clause 3, the Borrower  will
        pay to the Bank such amount as the Bank may certify (which certificate
        shall constitute  conclusive  evidence of the amount due) as necessary

        contracted for in order to fund such Advance.

4       Repayment

4.1     Subject to the provisions of Clause 20 (Demand  Events),  the Borrower
        shall  repay the full  amount of each  Advance  on the last day of the
        Interest  Period  relating  to that  Advance.  Subject to Clause  4.3,
        amounts so repaid in accordance  with this Clause 4.1 may,  subject to
        the terms of this agreement, be reborrowed.

4.2     Without  prejudice  to the  Borrower's  obligation  to repay  the full
        amount of each  Advance on the due date,  where on the same day as the
        Borrower is due to repay an Advance the Borrower  also requests and is
        entitled in accordance  with this agreement to borrow an Advance,  the
        amounts to be so repaid and so borrowed  shall be netted  against each
        other to the intent  that there  shall be an actual  transfer of funds
        from  the  Bank to the  Borrower  or,  as the  case  may be,  from the
        Borrower to the Bank of the net amount.

4.3     Subject to the provisions of Clause 5.2 and Clause 20 (Demand Events),
        all  outstanding  Advances  shall  be  repaid  in  full  on the  Final
        Repayment Date.

5       Prepayment and Cancellation

5.1     The Borrower  may prepay an Advance  (together  with accrued  interest
        thereon)  on any  Business  Day in whole but not in part on giving not
        less than fourteen days' prior written notice to the Bank. Such notice
        shall be  irrevocable  and shall  constitute  an  obligation to prepay
        accordingly. Any amounts prepaid under this Clause 5.1 may, subject to
        the terms of this agreement,  be reborrowed.  The Borrower will pay to
        the Bank such  amounts  as may be due to it under  Clause  13.5 if any
        such  prepayment  is made  on a day  other  than  the  last  day of an
        Interest Period relative to such Advance.

5.2     The Borrower may on giving not less than fourteen  days' prior written
        notice to the Bank  cancel  without  cost or  penalty  the  unutilised
        portion of the Loan  Facility in whole or in part (but, if in part, in
        a  minimum  amount  of  US$5,000,000  and  an  integral   multiple  of
        US$1,000,000). On the expiry of such notice the Loan Facility shall be
        cancelled  or,  as  applicable,  appropriately  reduced.  No notice of
        cancellation  may be withdrawn or revoked.  The Borrower  shall not be
        entitled  to cancel any part of the Loan  Facility  otherwise  than in
        accordance with the express provisions of this agreement and no amount
        of the Loan Facility cancelled may thereafter be utilised.

6       Interest Periods

6.1     Each Interest  Period shall,  subject as follows,  be of a duration of
        one, two or three months, as selected by the Borrower in any notice in
        writing issued pursuant to Clause 3.3 provided that:

        6.1.1   if any  Interest  Period  would  end on a day  which  is not a
                Business Day,  such  Interest  Period shall be extended to the
                next  succeeding  Business  Day unless such next  Business Day
                falls in the next calendar  month in which event such Interest
                Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day;

        6.1.2   the first Interest Period relative to each Advance (other than
                the  first  Advance)  shall  end on the  same  day as the then
                current  Interest  Period relative to the first Advance to the
                intent that on the  expiration  of the first  Interest  Period
                relative to each Advance (other than the first

                                      10

<PAGE>

                Advance)  all  Advances  shall  thereafter  be  treated as one
                Advance and, to the extent  practicable,  all Interest Periods
                shall be co-terminous;

        6.1.3   if the  Borrower  fails to select an  Interest  Period  for an
                Advance in  accordance  with Clause 3.3 that  Interest  Period
                shall (subject to the other  provisions of this Clause) be one
                month; and

        6.1.4   the Final  Repayment Date shall be the last day of an Interest
                Period.

7       Interest

7.1     The Borrower  shall pay to the Bank  interest on each  Advance  during
        each Interest Period relative thereto at the rate per annum determined
        by the Bank to be the  aggregate  of the Margin and the  offered  rate
        quoted to the Bank by leading banks in the London  Interbank Market at
        or about  11.00 a.m.  (London  time) two  Business  Days' prior to the
        first day of such  Interest  Period for  deposits  denominated  in the
        currency  of, and of  comparable  amount to, such Advance for the same
        period as that of such Interest Period.

7.2     Save as provided otherwise herein, interest in respect of each Advance
        shall  be paid in  arrears  on the last  day of each  Interest  Period
        relative thereto.

7.3     Interest  determined as aforesaid  shall accrue from day to day and be
        calculated on the actual number of days elapsed and the basis of a 360
        day year and shall be payable both before and after judgment.

7.4     If in relation to an Advance and a particular Interest Period the Bank
        shall have  determined that by reason of  circumstances  affecting the
        London Interbank Market generally adequate and fair means do not exist
        for  ascertaining  the rate of  interest  applicable  to that  Advance
        during such Interest  Period pursuant to Clause 7.1, the Bank shall as
        soon as practicable and in any event prior to the  commencement of the
        relevant such Interest Period give notice of such determination to the
        Borrower.  In the event that the Advance is made available by the Bank
        or is  outstanding,  the Bank shall as soon as practicable  thereafter
        notify the Borrower of a substitute  interest rate to be applicable to
        the Advance  during such Interest  Period,  reflecting the cost to the
        Bank of funding  the Advance  plus the Margin from such  sources as it
        may select in good faith. If such substitute rate is not acceptable to
        the  Borrower,  it may prepay the Advance in full within ten  Business
        Days after such  notification  on giving to the Bank not less than two
        Business  Days'  notice  thereof or on such other date as is  mutually
        agreed.  Such prepayment  shall be made together with accrued interest
        on the amount so prepaid at the substitute rate notified as aforesaid,
        together with all other amounts due to the Bank.

8       Certificates and Determination

        Any  certification  or  determination  by the Bank of a rate or amount
        under this  agreement  shall,  in the  absence of manifest  error,  be
        conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

9       Guarantee Facility

9.1     Subject to the terms and conditions of this  agreement  (including but
        not limited to the conditions set forth in Clause 16), the Bank agrees
        to issue Guarantees at the request of the Borrower denominated in U.S.
        Dollars  or  in  any  Optional  Currency  up  to a  maximum  aggregate
        principal U.S.  Dollar Amount not exceeding  US$15,000,000  at any one
        time for its general corporate purposes subject to Clause 9.5 provided
        that prior to the date on which the conditions set forth in

                                      11

<PAGE>

        Clause 16 have been  satisfied  or at any time whilst  those  Existing
        Guarantees remain Outstanding Guarantees the Bank shall not be obliged
        to issue Guarantees  hereunder in excess of that amount which is equal
        to US$15,000,000 less the principal amount of the Existing  Guarantees
        and for this  purpose the  principal  amount of an Existing  Guarantee
        shall be  calculated  by  converting  the face amount of such Existing
        Guarantee  into U.S.  Dollars on the basis of the Bank's  spot rate of
        exchange for the  purchase of U.S.  Dollars with the currency in which
        it is  denominated  on  each  proposed  issue  date  of any  Guarantee
        requested to be issued by the Borrower hereunder.

9.2     When the Borrower wishes the Bank to issue a Guarantee (other than the
        Existing  Guarantees),  it shall  give to the Bank  notice in  writing
        (which shall be  irrevocable) to be received by the Bank not less than
        five Business Days prior to the proposed issue date of the Guarantee:

        9.2.1   requesting the issue thereof;

        9.2.2   specifying  the proposed  issue date (which must be a Business
                Day no later  than the date  three  months  before  the  Final
                Repayment Date); and

        9.2.3   accompanied  by a copy of  such  Guarantee  initialled  by the
                Borrower  for the  purposes of  identification  and such other
                information or documentation relating to such Guarantee as the
                Bank may request.

9.3     The Bank  shall not be under  any  obligation  to issue any  Guarantee
        pursuant  to  this  agreement  unless  (i) it is in a form  reasonably
        acceptable  to the  Bank  and  (ii)  it has  been  initialled  for the
        purposes of identification by the Borrower and the Bank.

9.4     The Borrower may on giving not less than fourteen  days' prior written
        notice to the Bank cancel without penalty on the expiry of such notice
        the unutilised  portion of the Guarantee  Facility in whole or in part
        (but,  if in part,  in an  integral  multiple  of  US$1,000,000).  The
        Guarantee  Facility  shall  then  at the  expiry  of  such  notice  be
        cancelled  or,  as  applicable,  appropriately  reduced.  No notice of
        cancellation  may be withdrawn or revoked.  The Borrower  shall not be
        entitled to cancel any part of the Guarantee  Facility  otherwise than
        in accordance  with the express  provisions  of this  agreement and no
        amount cancelled may thereafter be utilised.

9.5     With effect from the date that the  conditions  set forth in Clause 16
        have been satisfied,  each of the Existing  Guarantees shall be deemed
        to be a  Guarantee  issued  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  this
        agreement and all the terms of this  agreement  relating to Guarantees
        and otherwise  applicable shall apply to the Existing  Guarantees from
        such time.

10      Indemnity

10.1    The  Borrower   hereby   indemnifies  and  agrees  to  keep  the  Bank
        indemnified   from  and  against  all   payments,   claims,   demands,
        liabilities,  losses, costs and expenses made, suffered or incurred by
        the Bank in  relation  to or  arising  out of the  issue by it of each
        Guarantee and will pay to the Bank on its demand for payment each such
        payment,  claim,  demand,  liability,  loss,  cost and  expense  made,
        suffered or incurred by the Bank in the currency in which the same was
        made, suffered or incurred.

10.2    The Borrower  irrevocably  authorises  the Bank to make any payment or
        comply with any demand which appears or purports to be claimed or made
        under any  Guarantee,  without any  reference to or further  authority
        from the Borrower,  without enquiry into the justification therefor or
        the validity, genuineness or

                                      12

<PAGE>

        accuracy of any  statement  or  certificate  received by the Bank with
        respect to or under such Guarantee and despite any contestation on the
        part of the Borrower,  and the Borrower  agrees that any such claim or
        demand  shall be binding on it and shall,  as between the Bank and the
        Borrower,  be accepted by the Borrower as conclusive evidence that the
        Bank was liable to pay or comply with the same.

10.3    The Borrower  further agrees with the Bank that its obligations  under
        this Clause shall not in any way be discharged or impaired by:-

        10.3.1  any waiver, time or other indulgence that may be granted to or
                by the Bank with respect to any Guarantee;

        10.3.2  any amendment,  extension or variation of any Guarantee or any
                other agreement;

        10.3.3  any legal limitation,  disability,  incapacity,  insolvency or
                other  circumstances  relating to any  person,  whether or not
                known to the Bank or any other person; or

        10.3.4  any invalidity or irregularity in or  unenforceability  of the
                obligations of any person.

10.4    The Borrower  further agrees with the Bank that its obligations  under
        this  Clause  shall exist  independently  of and shall not be affected
        by:-

        10.4.1  any right,  claim,  assurance or security that the Bank or any
                other  person  may from time to time have,  or have  failed to
                obtain, enforce or assert; or

        10.4.2  anything  done or  omitted  to be  done  which  but  for  this
                provision might  constitute a legal or equitable  discharge of
                or defence for it.

10.5    The Borrower  further agrees that the Bank may debit any account of it
        with the Bank with any sum demanded by the Bank under this Clause 10.

11      Guarantee Commission

        On the date of issue of each  Guarantee  and on each date which  falls
        three  months  after the date on which  such  Guarantee  is issued the
        Borrower  will pay to the Bank a commission  calculated at the rate of
        one-quarter of one per cent. of the maximum potential liability of the
        Bank  under  such   Guarantee  as  at  such  date  of  issue  or  such
        three-monthly date (as the case may be).

12      Cash Collateral

        If the Borrower  requests  and the Bank agrees to issue any  Guarantee
        with an expiry date falling after the Final  Repayment  Date, the Bank
        may by  notice  in  writing  given to the  Borrower  not less  than 10
        Business  Days  before  the  Final  Repayment  Date  declare  that the
        Borrower shall provide the Bank with one hundred per cent.  cash cover
        in respect of the maximum  potential  liability of the Bank under such
        Guarantee and the Borrower  shall provide such cash cover on or before

13      Payments and Default Interest

13.1    All payments to be made by the Borrower under this agreement  shall be
        made on the due  date in  immediately  available  funds to the Bank by
        payment in U.S. Dollars (or in the case of a Guarantee  denominated in
        an Optional Currency or costs,  expenses and taxes and the like in the
        relevant  Optional  Currency  or in the  currency  in  which  they are
        incurred  (as the case  may be)) to the  Bank's  U.S.  Dollar  Account
        Number 3582 023094 001 at Standard  Chartered  Bank, 160 Water Street,
        New York, New York SWIFT-ID SCBLUS33 or such other account as the Bank
        may specify.

13.2    All payments to be made by the Borrower  under or in  connection  with
        this agreement shall be made without any set-off or  counterclaim  and
        free of and without deduction for any taxes or other deductions of any
        nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed or made, all of which shall
        be for the account of the Borrower. Should any such payment be subject
        to any such tax or deduction,  the Borrower  shall  indemnify the Bank
        against  the same and shall  pay to the Bank as  provided  above  such
        additional amounts as may be necessary to enable the Bank to receive a
        net amount equal to the full amount provided for under this agreement,
        had there been no such tax or deduction. The Borrower shall deliver to
        the Bank within  thirty days of each such  payment by the  Borrower of
        such tax evidence satisfactory to the Bank (including all relevant tax
        receipts)  that such tax has been  duly  remitted  to the  appropriate
        authority.

13.3    If the  Bank  determines,  in its  absolute  discretion,  that  it has
        received,  realised,  utilised and retained a tax benefit by reason of
        any deduction or withholding in respect of which the Borrower has made
        an indemnity payment under Clause 13.2, the Bank shall, as and when it
        has  received  all  amounts  which  are  then due and  payable  by the
        Obligors  under any  Security  Document,  pay to the  Borrower (to the
        extent that the Bank can do so without  prejudicing  the amount of the
        benefit  or  repayment  and  right of the  Bank to  obtain  any  other
        benefit,  relief  or  allowance  which  may be  available  to it) such
        amount,  if  any,  as the  Bank,  in  its  absolute  discretion  shall
        determine, will leave the Bank in no worse position than it would have
        been  in if the  deduction  or  withholding  had  not  been  required,
        provided that:

        13.3.1  the Bank shall have an absolute  discretion  as to the time at
                which  and the  order  and  manner  in  which it  realises  or
                utilises  any tax  benefit and shall not be obliged to arrange
                its business or its tax affairs in any particular way in order
                to be  eligible  for any credit or refund or similar  benefit;
                and

        13.3.2  the Bank  shall not be  obliged to  disclose  any  information
                regarding its business, tax affairs or tax computations.

13.4    Whenever any payment  under this  agreement  shall become due on a day
        which is not a Business Day, the due date  therefor  shall be the next
        succeeding Business Day if it falls in the same calendar month and the
        immediately  preceding  Business  Day if not  and  interest  shall  be
        adjusted accordingly.

13.5    If the  Borrower  makes any  payment  of any  principal  amount of any
        Advance  otherwise  than on the last day of an  Interest  Period,  the
        Borrower  will on demand  by the Bank pay to the Bank such  additional
        amounts as the Bank may certify as necessary to  compensate it for any
        loss or expense  sustained or incurred in liquidating or  re-deploying
        funds acquired or arranged to effect or maintain such Advance.

13.6    If the  Borrower  fails to pay any  amount  payable  by it under  this
        agreement on the due date  therefor,  the Borrower  shall on demand by
        the Bank from time to time pay  interest on such  overdue  amount from
        the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before
        judgment or winding up) at the Default Rate.

14      Changes in Circumstances

14.1    If:

        14.1.1  any  change  in any  law,  regulation  or  official  directive
                (whether or not having the force of law);

        14.1.2  any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any
                authority charged with the administration thereof;

        14.1.3  compliance  by any  office of the Bank in good  faith with any
                request or  directive  of any  applicable  monetary  or fiscal
                agency or authority (whether or not having the force of law);

        results in:

        14.1.4  the Bank  incurring a cost  (including  the cost of  complying
                with any reserve,  special deposit,  liquidity,  cash or other
                requirement  or any  capital  adequacy  rules)  as a result of
                having entered into this agreement; or

        14.1.5  a reduction in the amount of principal or interest  receivable
                by the Bank under this agreement; or

        14.1.6  the Bank making any payment or foregoing any interest or other
                return on or  calculated  by  reference to any sum received or
                receivable by it under this agreement;

        then, upon demand being made to the Borrower by the Bank, the Borrower
        shall pay to the Bank such  amount  as shall  compensate  the Bank for
        such cost,  reduction,  payment or foregone  interest or other return.
        The  certificate  of the Bank  setting  out the amount  shall,  in the
        absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence thereof.

14.2    If the Bank is prohibited by law from making, issuing,  maintaining or
        funding  (or  it is  contrary  to  any  directive  of  any  applicable
        authority for the Bank to make,  issue,  maintain or fund) any Advance
        or any  Guarantee  or any part  thereof,  then if such Advance has not
        already  been made or such  Guarantee  has not been  issued,  the Bank
        shall not be obliged to make  available  such Advance or to issue such
        Guarantee and, if such Advance has already been made or such Guarantee
        has already been issued,  the Borrower will forthwith on demand by the
        Bank repay such  Advance  together  with all accrued  interest and all
        other  amounts  due to the Bank under this  agreement  and provide the
        Bank with one hundred  per cent.  cash cover in respect of the maximum
        potential   liability  of  the  Bank  under  such  Guarantee  and  the
        Facilities shall be reduced to zero.

14.3    If circumstances  arise which would or would upon the giving of notice
        result in the  Borrower  being  liable to make any  indemnity  payment
        under Clause 13.2 or to pay any  compensation  under Clause 14.1 or to
        make any repayment under Clause 14.2 then without in any way limiting,
        reducing, or otherwise qualifying the Borrower's obligations under any
        of such  Clauses,  the Bank shall in  consultation  with the

                                      15

        Borrower,  take such steps as the Bank in its  opinion  considers  are
        reasonably  open to it to mitigate  the effects of such  circumstances
        including  the  transfer of its rights and  obligations  hereunder  to
        another financial institution willing to participate in the Facilities
        provided  that the Bank shall be under no  obligation to take any such
        steps if, in the bona fide  opinion of the Bank,  such steps  would or
        might  have  an  adverse  effect  upon  its  business,  operations  or
        financial  condition  or  cause  it to  incur  any  material  costs or
        expenses.

        covenants set out in this Clause 19 shall continue to be tested on the
        basis of the  accounts  prepared on the basis that such change had not
        been made.

        invalidating  the remaining  provisions of this agreement or affecting
        the  validity  or  enforceability  of such  prohibition  in any  other
        jurisdiction.

30      Counterparts

        proceeding,  and to settle any disputes,  which may arise out of or in
        connection  with this  agreement and agrees not to claim that any such
        court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.

32.4    The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Clause
        32.2 shall not (and shall not be  construed  so as to) limit the right
        of the Bank to take  proceedings  against the Borrower or any party to
        any Security Document in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor
        shall  the  taking  of  proceedings  in any one or more  jurisdictions

                         withdrawal  of  any  relief,  allowance  or  concession
                         available at the date of this Agreement (whether or not
                         such legislation or withdrawal purports to be effective
                         retrospectively  in whole or in part) or as a result of

          6.9. If any matter comes to the notice of Global Capital in respect of
               which a Claim may arise Global Capital shall:

               6.9.1.    forthwith  give written  notice  thereof to the Company
                         specifying   the  nature  of  the  possible   Claim  in
                         reasonable detail; and

               6.9.2.    not make  any  admission  of  liability,  agreement  or
                         compromise  to or with any person in  relation  thereto
                         without the prior written consent of the Company,  such
                         consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         6.10. Notwithstanding  anything  expressed or implied in this Agreement
               to the contrary,  if the Company is liable pursuant to any Claim,
               then such liability shall be settled between the Parties,  by the
               Company  issuing  further  Shares to Global Capital in accordance
               with the following sub-clauses:

               6.10.1.   the Shares will be Class C Shares;

               6.10.2.   the  number of  Shares  to be issued to Global  Capital
                         will be  calculated by dividing the amount of the Claim
                         by the  Subscription  Price per Share  (which  shall be
                         calculated by dividing the  Subscription  Consideration
                         by the number of New  Shares  that are issued to Global
                         Capital under clause 3 and Schedule 3);

               6.10.3.   no  further  consideration  will be  payable  by Global
                         Capital in respect of such shares.

         6.11. Myriad  hereby  unconditionally  and  irrevocably  guarantees  to
               Global Capital the  performance by the Company of its obligations
               under clause 6.5 (except if Global Capital  withholds its consent
               under the  Articles to the issue of Shares  under  clause  6.10);
               provided that Myriad shall be entitled to raise as a defence to a
               claim by Global  Capital any defence  which the Company  would be
               entitled to raise (in  addition to such other  defences as are or
               may  be  available  to  Myriad,  whether  at law  or  under  this
               Agreement) and Myriad's  liability  shall not in any event exceed
               that of the Company.

         6.12. Global  Capital shall procure that all  reasonable  assistance is
               given by it to avoid or mitigate any loss or  liability  (without
               prejudice to any similar obligation  existing at law generally or
               any other specific term of this Agreement)  which might give rise
               to a Claim.

         6.13. Global  Capital  shall  indemnify and keep Myriad and the Company
               fully indemnified  against all proceedings,  costs,  liabilities,
               expenses,  loss or  damage  (but  excluding  Consequential  Loss)
               suffered or incurred by Myriad or the Company arising out

         6.14. The Parties waive their rights under Articles 6:265 et seq of The
               Netherlands Civil Code to claim rescission ("ontbinding") of this
               Agreement whether before or after Completion,  provided that such
               waiver shall be without prejudice to the Parties' other rights at
               law or under this Agreement.

     7.  CONFIDENTIALITY

         7.1.  In  order  to  protect  the  business  of  the  Company  and  its
               Subsidiaries,  Global Capital  agrees and undertakes  with and to
               each of the other Parties that any Confidential Information which
               is  obtained  by it or  any of its  Affiliates  or any  director,
               officer, employee,  professional adviser, agent or representative
               of or to any such person under the terms of this Agreement  shall
               not,  unless  and until it ceases to be  confidential  (otherwise
               than  as  a  result   of  this  or  any   other   obligation   of
               confidentiality being breached), be:

               7.1.1.    disclosed  to any person  other  than its  professional
                         advisers or any person employed by it or its Affiliates
                         whose duties  include the  management  or monitoring of
                         its investment in the Company and who need to know such
                         information in order to discharge his or her duties; or

               7.1.2.    used by it or any member of their  Groups or any of the
                         persons contemplated in clause 7.1.1 other than for the

                         Company in either case in a manner  detrimental  to the
                         Company.

          7.2. Global  Capital  shall  procure  that  any  person  to  whom  any
               Confidential  Information  is  disclosed by it is informed of the
               confidential  nature of the information and the terms  applicable
               to  it  pursuant  to  this   Agreement   and  complies  with  the

               Party hereto.

          7.3. Clauses 7.1 and 7.2 shall not prevent  any  disclosure  if and to
               the extent  required  by  applicable  law, an order of a court of
               competent  jurisdiction,  or by the rules of any recognised stock
               exchange,   any  other  applicable   regulatory  authority  or  a
               government or  quasi-governmental  department or agency  provided
               that Global Capital shall consult with the other Parties,  so far
               as is practicable,  as to the proposed form,  timing,  nature and
               purpose of the disclosure.

          7.4. If this  Agreement  ceases to have  effect,  Global  Capital will
               release and return to the Company all  documents  concerning  the
               Company  provided to Global Capital or its advisers in connection
               with this Agreement and will not use or make available to any

               given  in  respect  of  the  Company  and/or  any  Subsidiary  or
               Affiliate of the Company and which is not in the public domain

          7.5. The  obligations  of Global  Capital  under  this  clause 7 shall
               continue  until the  conditions set out in clause 2 are fulfilled
               or this  Agreement  lapses  in terms of that  clause,  and if the
               latter occurs,  such obligations shall survive for a period of 24
               months after such lapse.

               to any matter  affecting the interests of the Parties in terms of

SCHEDULE 3: CALCULATION OF THE NUMBER OF CLASS C SHARES THAT WILL BE ACQUIRED BY
GLOBAL CAPITAL

The number of New Shares (Class C) that will be acquired by Global  Capital will
be calculated according to the following equation:

                                 B          =     X
                                ---              ---
                                B+A              X+Y

Where:

A        =     either   the  "Post  Capitalised   NetMed  BV Value" or the "Post
               Third Person NetMed BV Value", as appropriate

B        =     Subscription Consideration

X        =     The number of New Shares to be issued to Global Capital

Y        =     The total number of Shares in issue on Completion before the New
               Shares are issued to Global Capital

And:

The "Post  Capitalised  NetMed Value" or the "Post Third Person NetMed BV Value"
is calculated as follows:

Step 1

AGREED  ENTERPRISE  VALUE  for the  Company  is agreed  at  US$395m  and for the
purposes of this  calculation  is apportioned as follows (each an "AGREED ENTITY
ENTERPRISE VALUE"):

MultiChoice Hellas                  142.2
NetMed Hellas                       227.3
MultiChoice Cyprus                   25.5

Total                                      US$395.0

Step 2

From each of the Agreed Entity  Enterprise  Values,  calculated in Step 1 above,
deduct each entity's net external debt which exists on the Completion Date. (The
Net  External  Debt is the total of all  interest  bearing  loans or other  debt
(including all accrued interest) owed by the relevant entity to any person other
than to  Myriad  or any of its  Affiliates  (each a  "Third  Person")  as at the
Completion Date (excluding capitalised  programming costs) less cash on hand and
any  allocated  or blocked  funds that secure the  repayment  of any debt or any
other obligations or liabilities.  In addition, any debt owed by Syned SA to any
Third Person is allocated  equally between  MultiChoice and NetMed Hellas and is
deducted from the Agreed Entity Enterprise Value of each entity. This results in
an Equity value for each entity ("ENTITY EQUITY VALUE").

                                       23

Step 3.

From the  Entity  Equity  value of each  entity,  calculated  in Step 3,  deduct
minority  shareholders  interest  of  each  entity.  The  minority  shareholding
interest is calculated by multiplying the minority  shareholding % by the Equity
value of each entity ("MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS  INTEREST").  The following will be
the Minority Shareholders Interests at the Completion Date:

MultiChoice Hellas        49.0%
NetMed Hellas              4.0%
MultiChoice Cyprus        49.0%

This  results  in the  value  of the  equity  of  each  of  the  above  entities
attributable to NetMed BV ("NETMED BV ATTRIBUTABLE VALUE").

Step 4.

Add  together the NetMed BV  Attributable  values for each of the members of the
NetMed Group  referred to in Step 1 as  calculated in Step 3. This results in an
implied value for NetMed BV before MIH debt ("NETMED BV IMPLIED VALUE")

Step 5.

From NetMed BV Implied  Value,  calculated in Step 4, deduct any amounts owed to
MIH Limited or any of its  Affiliates as at the Completion  Date  (including all
accrued  interest)  ("MIH  Debt").  This results in an Equity value of NetMed BV
("NETMED BV EQUITY VALUE").

Step 6.

To NetMed BV Equity Value,  calculated in Step 5, add US$125m,  being the amount
of MIH Debt  agreed to be  capitalised.  This  results  in the post  capitalised
NetMed BV Value for the Company ("POST CAPITALISED NETMED BV VALUE")

Provided that

If another person  subscribes for shares in the Company before  Completion  then
the price per Share to be paid by such  person  will be  calculated  by dividing
Post  Capitalised  NetMed  BV Value by the  total  number  of  Shares  in issue,
immediately  preceding such subscription.  The value of the Company will then be
equal to the sum of Post Capitalised NetMed BV Value plus the amount invested by
such person ("POST THIRD PERSON NETMED BV VALUE")
