          extensions under the UK Credit Facilities have been paid in full (or,
          in respect to contingent liabilities, fully collateralized in cash, by
          wire transfer or certified or cashier's check) and (iv) all
          commitments have been terminated under the UK Credit Facilities. Such

          Holder's Second Tranche Warrant Certificate, the Company shall prepare
          and deliver a new Second Tranche Warrant Certificate reflecting the
          reduced number of Warrants or (y) upon the request of the Company,
          each Holder shall surrender such Holder's Second Tranche Warrant
          Certificate and the Company shall prepare and deliver a new Second
          Tranche Warrant Certificate reflecting the reduced number of

               sold to the public pursuant to an effective registration

               less than 100% of the Holders of the relevant Warrants consent to
               a supplement, modification, waiver or termination, the Company

               modification, waiver or termination, to each non-consenting
               Holder at the Holder's address as it appears on the records of

<PAGE>

registered Holder may designate, one or more certificates for the Warrant Shares
issued upon such exercise of such Warrants. Any Person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become Holder of record of such Warrant Shares
as of the Date of Exercise of such Warrants.

     The "Date of Exercise" of any Warrant means the date on which the Company
          ----------------
shall have received (i) this Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Election to
Purchase attached hereto appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii)
unless the Holder of this Warrant Certificate makes the election described in
subsection (d) of this Section 3, payment of the Exercise Price for such
--------------         ---------
Warrant.

     (d) In lieu of paying the Exercise Price upon exercise of the Warrants, the
Holder of this Warrant Certificate may elect to receive a number of Warrant
Shares whose aggregate Market Price as of the Date of Exercise is equal to the
fair value of this Warrant Certificate (or the portion hereof evidencing the
number of Warrants then being exercised) on such date, in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder of this Warrant Certificate, upon receipt of
notice of such election, a number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of
Warrant Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon payment of the Exercise
Price of the Warrants then being exercised minus (ii) the number of Common

                                                          -----------------
shall be deemed to have occurred when the Company refinances or repays all the
Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement such

occurred under the Credit Agreement. No Holder shall be required to provide any
representation (other than as to its title to this Warrant or the Warrant
Shares), covenants or indemnification in connection with an Organic Change, a
Separation Date or a Refinancing Event, provided, however that a Holder may be
                                        --------  -------
required to complete a customary letter of transmittal or other comparable
document which is sent to all other public shareholders of the Company. If a
Warrant is exercised on or prior to July 31, 2002 pursuant to an acceleration

      -------------------
agree not to transfer 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable to such Holder upon

to the Company, in the event that a warrant reduction pursuant to Section 10 of
the Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement occurs, all of the net proceeds,
without interest, which such Holder received in connection with

                                       3

such transfer. If a Warrant is exercised after July 31, 2002 and prior to
October 1, 2002 pursuant to an acceleration under subsection 3(f)(ii), any
                                                  -------------------
Holder who exercises such Warrant must either (x) agree not to transfer 49.5% of
the Warrant Shares issuable to such Holder upon such exercise to a non-Affiliate
prior to October 1, 2002 or (y) agree to repay to the Company, in the event that
a warrant reduction pursuant to Section 10 of the Warrant and Registration
Rights Agreement occurs, 49.5% of the net proceeds, without interest, which such
Holder received in connection with such transfer.

     SECTION 4. Payment of Taxes. Subject to applicable law, the Company will
                ----------------
pay all transfer and stock issuance taxes attributable to the issuance of the

                                 --------  -------
be required to pay any tax in respect of the transfer of Warrants.

     SECTION 5. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificate. If this Warrant
                ----------------------------------------
Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will,
upon request by the registered Holder of this Warrant Certificate, issue, in
exchange for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in
substitution for the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new
Warrant Certificate, in substantially the form of this Warrant Certificate, of
like tenor and representing the equivalent number of Warrants, but, in the case
of loss, theft or destruction, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant Certificate and, if
requested by the Company, a written agreement of indemnity from the Holder
satisfactory to the Company or a lost certificate bond.

     SECTION 6. Reservation, Listing and Issuance of Warrant Shares.
                ---------------------------------------------------

     (a) The Company will at all times have authorized, and reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive rights, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
Warrants, the number of shares of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.

     (b) Before taking any action which could cause an adjustment pursuant to
Section 7 reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the
---------
Warrant Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which may be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue at the
Exercise Price as so adjusted Warrant Shares that are fully paid and
non-assessable.

     (c) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant Certificate, be (i) duly authorized,
fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all taxes with respect to the
issuance thereof and from all adverse claims, liens, charges and security

     SECTION 7. Adjustments of Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
                -------------------------------------------------

     (a) Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares Issuable. Upon each adjustment
         -----------------------------------------------
of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder of a Warrant shall
                                       ---------
be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment,
a number of Warrant Shares equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Sha res issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     (b) Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If the Company shall at any time
         -----------------------------------
subdivide (whether by stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or pay
a dividend or make a distribution to holders of Common Shares in the form of
Common Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision, payment or distribution shall be proportionately reduced;
conversely, if the outstanding Common Shares shall be combined into a smaller
number of shares (whether by reverse Shares split or otherwise), the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.

     (c) Dividends and Rights Offerings.
         ------------------------------

          (i)  If the Company shall pay a dividend or distribution (including,
     without limitation, a distribution in the form of securities of the
     Company) upon the Common Shares, regardless of whether the Warrants are
     otherwise then exercisable, the Company shall pay to the holder of this
     Warrant Certificate, in respect of each Warrant Share issuable upon
     exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby, an amount equal, in the case of
     a dividend in cash, to the amount per Common Share so payable or, in the
     case of any other dividend, to the fair value per Common Share of the
     property so payable, as determined, reasonably and in good faith, by the
     board of directors of the Company.

          (ii) If the Company shall effect an offering of Common Shares or other
     stock pro rata among its stockholders or members, each Holder shall be
     entitled, at such Holder's option, regardless of whether the Warrants are
     otherwise then exercisable, to elect to participate in each and every such
     offering as though its Warrants had been exercised and such Holder were, at
     the time of any such rights offering, then a holder of that number of
     Common Shares to which such Holder is then entitled on the exercise of its
     Warrant.

     (d) Adjustments for Consolidation, Amalgamation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
         --------------------------------------------------------------------
Reorganization, etc. Subject to the terms of Section 7(j), if the Company (i)
-------------------                          ------------
consolidates with, amalgamates with or merges into any other entity and is not
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation, amalgamation or
merger, or (ii) permits any other entity to consolidate with, amalgamate with or
merge into the Company and the Company is the continuing or surviving corporatio
n but, in connection with such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, the Common
Shares are changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other
corporation or cash or any other assets, or (iii) transfers all or substantially
all of its properties and assets to any other entity, or (iv) effects a
recapitalization, capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Company in such a way that holders of Common Shares shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Shares (each of the transactions referred to in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being an "Organic Change"), then, and in each
          -----------         ----           --------------
such case, proper provision shall be made in form and substance satisfactory to
the Holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares representing 60% of the Warrant
Shares issuable under the Warrant and Registration Agreement, excluding any
Warrant Shares sold to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, so that, upon the basis and upon
the terms and in the manner provided in this subsection (d), the holder of this
                                             --------------
Warrant Certificate, upon the exercise of each Warrant at any time after the

aggregate Exercise Price in effect for all Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise

                                       5

<PAGE>

immediately prior to such consummation as adjusted to the time of such
transaction), in lieu of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and other securities, cash and assets to which such
holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had so
exercised such Warrant immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments
subsequent to such corporate action as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 7).
                                 ---------

     (e) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of any Exercise Price, then
         --------------------

registered holder of the Warrants, which notice shall state the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the
number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of each Warrant,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculation is based.

     (f) Other Notices. In case at any time:

          (i)    the Company shall declare any cash dividend on its Common
     Shares;

          (v)    there shall be any Organic Change;

          (vi)   there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,

     Separation Date under the Company Rights Plan; or

          (viii) the Company proposes to take any other action or an event
     occurs which would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
     subsection (g) of this Section 7;
     --------------         ---------

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice,
addressed to the holder of this Warrant Certificate at the address of such
holder as shown on the books of the Company, of (1) the date on which the books
of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or (2) the date (or, if not then known, a
reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) on which such Organic Change or
other action or event, as the case may be, shall take place (or, in the case of
clauses (vi) and (vii) above, the date on which the relevant action or event
------------     -----
took place). Such notice shall also specify

<PAGE>

of Common Shares of record shall participate in such dividends, distribution or
subscription rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for
securities or other property deliverable upon such Organic Change, Separation
Date, dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, winding up, or other action or event, as the case may be. Such
written notice shall be given at least twenty (20) days prior to the action in
question and not less than twenty (20) days prior to the record date or the date

         --------------
provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
                   ---------

phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company
shall appoint, at its sole expense, a firm of independent certified public
accountants (which may be the regular auditors of the Company) of recognized
national standing, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any,
on a basis consistent with the basic intent and principles established in the
other provisions of this Section 7, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the
                         ---------
exercise rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate. Upon
receipt of such opinion, the Company shall forthwith make the adjustments
described therein.

     (h) Certain Exceptions to Antidilution Protection. Notwithstanding anything
         ---------------------------------------------

                        ---------
Price or to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof: (i) in
connection with the sale or issuance of the Warrant Certificates for an initial
aggregate of 3,455,610 Common Shares issued to the Lenders (or their Affiliates)
under the Credit Agreement and warrant certificates for an initial aggregate of
584,597 Common Shares issued to the UK Banks under the UK Credit Facilities on

transfer or division of, or in substitution for, any such warrants, or any
adjustment to the number of shares issuable pursuant thereto in accordance with
the terms of any thereof; (ii) the issuance of any rights under the Company
Rights Plan; or (iii) an exercise of options outstanding under the Company's
stock plans on the Original Issuance Date, which options are listed on Schedule

3(d) to the Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement.
----

     (i) Other Securities. If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
         ----------------
pursuant to this Section 7, any holder of Warrants shall become entitled to
                 ---------
purchase any securities of the Company other than Common Shares, the number or
