        (v)    must ensure that the Ancillary Commitment is reduced to nil, and
               that all Ancillary Outstandings are repaid or cash-collateralised
               in full, not later than the Revolving Credit Final Maturity Date.

(c)     Any document providing for an Ancillary Facility is an Ancillary
        Facility Document.

8.4     REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENT

(a)     For the purposes of:

        (i)    calculating commitment fee; and

        (ii)   calculating the amount of a Lender's share in a Credit under the
               Revolving Credit Facility:

               (A)   the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender will be reduced
                     by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment in force at that
                     time; and

               (B)   the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender will be
                     increased by the cancelled amount of its Ancillary
                     Commitment at the time of cancellation.

(b)     For the purposes of calculating the Majority Lenders, a Lender's
        Ancillary Commitment will be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Commitment
        of an equal amount.

8.5     REFINANCING OF ANCILLARY FACILITY

(a)     No Ancillary Lender may demand repayment or prepayment of any amounts or
        demand cash cover for any liabilities made available or incurred by it
        under its Ancillary Facility unless:

        (i)    the Total Revolving Credit Commitments have been cancelled in
               full, or the Facility Agent has declared all outstanding Credits
               under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable;
               or

        (ii)   the Ancillary Outstandings under that Ancillary Facility can be
               and are refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan.

(b)     For the purposes of determining whether or not a Revolving Credit Loan
        can be used for the purpose referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) above:

        (i)    the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Ancillary Lender will be
               increased by the amount of the Ancillary Outstandings; and

        (ii)   unless the Facility Agent has declared all outstanding Credits
               under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable
               the Revolving Credit Loan may be borrowed irrespective of whether
               a Default is outstanding or any other applicable condition
               precedent not satisfied.

<Page>

                                       36

(c)     The share of the Ancillary Lender in a Revolving Credit Loan being used
        to refinance that Ancillary Lender's Ancillary Facility will be that
        amount which will result (so far as possible) in the proportion which
        its share of all outstanding Credits under the Revolving Credit Facility
        bears to the aggregate amount of the outstanding Credits under the
        Revolving Credit Facility, being equal to the proportion which its
        Revolving Credit Commitment bears to the Total Revolving Credit
        Commitments. The share of the other Lenders in any such Revolving Credit
        Loan will be adjusted accordingly.

8.6     INFORMATION

        Each Obligor and each Ancillary Lender must, promptly upon request by
        the Facility Agent, supply the Facility Agent with any information
        relating to the operation of an Ancillary Facility (including the
        Ancillary Outstandings) as the Facility Agent may reasonably request
        from time to time.

               before the Utilisation Date for that Letter of Credit, as
               adjusted below at six monthly intervals; or

        (c)    in the case of any other Credit, if the Credit is denominated in
               an Optional Currency for an Interest Period, its equivalent in
               Dollars calculated on the basis of the Agent's Spot Rate of
               Exchange one Business Day before the Rate Fixing Day for that
               Interest Period.

        "OPTIONAL CURRENCY"

        denominated at any one time in more than 5 currencies.

9.3     CONDITIONS RELATING TO OPTIONAL CURRENCIES

(a)     A Credit may be denominated in an Optional Currency for an Interest
        Period or a Term (as applicable) if:

               required and freely convertible into Dollars in the relevant
               interbank market on the Rate Fixing Day and the first day of that
               Interest Period or Term (as applicable); and

        (ii)   that Optional Currency is euro or Sterling or has been previously
               approved by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all
               the Lenders).

               integral multiples) for any Credit in that currency.

9.4     REVOCATION OF CURRENCY

(a)     Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, if before 9.30 a.m. on
        any Rate Fixing Day the Facility Agent receives notice from a Lender
        that:

        (i)    the Optional Currency requested is not readily available to it in
               the London interbank market in the amount and for the period
               required; or

        (ii)   participating in a Loan in the proposed Optional Currency might
               contravene any law or regulation applicable to it,

        the Facility Agent must give notice to the Company to that effect
        promptly and in any event before 11.00 a.m. on that day.

(b)     In this event, at the option of the Borrower who made the Request:

        (i)    (A)   that Lender must participate in the Loan in either
                     Dollars, euro or Sterling; and

               (B)   the share of that Lender in the Loan and any other
                     similarly affected Lender(s) will be treated as a separate
                     Loan denominated either in Dollars, euro or Sterling, as
                     selected by that Borrower, during that Interest Period; or

<Page>

                                       38

        (ii)   the entire Loan will be denominated in either Dollars, euro or

(c)     The relevant Borrower must exercise its option under paragraph (b) above
        by 2.00 p.m. on the relevant Rate Fixing Day. Failing this, that
        Borrower will be deemed to have selected the option in sub-paragraph
        (b)(i)(A) above.

(d)     Any part of a Loan treated as a separate Loan under this Subclause will
        not be taken into account for the purposes of any limit on the number of
        Loans or currencies outstanding at any one time.

(e)     A Loan will still be treated as a Rollover Credit if it is not
        denominated in the same currency as the maturing Loan by reason only of
        the operation of this Subclause.

9.5     OPTIONAL CURRENCY EQUIVALENTS

        Exchange) promptly after they are ascertained.

9.7     LETTERS OF CREDIT IN OPTIONAL CURRENCY

(a)     If a Letter of Credit is denominated in an Optional Currency, the
        Facility Agent must at six monthly intervals after the date of this
        Agreement, recalculate the Dollar Amount of that Letter of Credit by
        notionally converting the amount of that Letter of Credit into Dollars
        on the basis of the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of
        calculation.

(b)     Each Borrower must, if requested by the Facility Agent, ensure that
        sufficient Letters of Credit are prepaid to prevent the Dollar Amount of
        the Credits under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeding the Total

(b)     The Company must apply (or procure that the Borrowers apply) an amount
        equal to 75 per cent. of Surplus Cashflow for each financial year (or
        financial half-year for the financial half-year comprising the period
        from 1st April, 2002 to 28th September, 2002) towards prepaying the
        Credits (provided that the Company may take into account any Semi-annual
        Surplus Cashflow prepayment made during such financial year when

(c)     If the Company wishes to distribute a semi-annual Permitted Additional
        Dividend, it must deliver to the Facility Agent a semi-annual cashflow
        statement of the Plc Group. To the extent this demonstrates that there
        is Semi-annual Surplus Cashflow for such financial half-year, prior to
        the making of any semi-annual dividend the Company must apply (or
        procure that the Borrowers apply) an amount equal to 75 per cent. of
        that Semi-annual Surplus Cashflow towards prepaying the Credits.

(d)     To the extent a Semi-annual Surplus Cashflow prepayment has been made in

        notice from the Declining Lender confirming that it no longer wishes to
        decline prepayment.

(e)     Any partial prepayment of the Term Loans will be applied against the
        Term Loans comprised in each Facility pro rata. However, whilst any part
        of a Term Loan is outstanding, amounts which would have been prepaid to
        a Declining Lender (the "DECLINED AMOUNTS") will be applied, to the
        extent that such Declined Amounts can be applied against other
        outstanding Term Loans, pro rata against the Term Loans to those Lenders
        which are not Declining Lenders.

(b)     Partial cancellation of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments must be
        in a minimum amount of US$5,000,000 and an integral multiple of

(c)     Any cancellation in part will be applied against the relevant Commitment
        of each Lender pro rata.

11.14   INVOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

(a)     If an Obligor is, or will be, required to pay to a Lender or the Issuing
        Bank a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost, the Company may, while the
        requirement continues, give notice to the Facility Agent requesting
        prepayment and cancellation in respect of that Lender or of Letters of
        Credit issued by the Issuing Bank.

(b)     After notification regarding a Lender under paragraph (a) above:

        (ii)   the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled.

12.     INTEREST

12.1    CALCULATION OF INTEREST

        The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the
        percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the applicable:

        (a)    Margin;

        (b)    IBOR; and

<Page>

                                       46

        (c)    Mandatory Cost.

12.2    MARGIN

(a)     In this Clause, Consolidated Total Net Debt, Consolidated EBITDA and
        Measurement Period have the meaning given to them in Clause 22
        (Financial covenants).

(b)     The Margin for the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility A will
        initially be two point seven five per cent. (2.75%) per annum. Upon
        receipt by the Facility Agent of the Compliance Certificate (as defined
        in Clause 21.2 (Compliance Certificate)), and the financial statements
        for the period ended 28th September, 2002 and, thereafter, upon receipt
        by the Facility Agent of any financial statements of the Company and
        related Compliance Certificate covering the previous Measurement Period,
        the Margin will be determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated
        Total Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Measurement
        Period, as shown by the most recent Compliance Certificate and
        calculated by reference to the relevant consolidated financial
        statements, and in accordance with the following table, provided that
        the Margin may not reduce by more than one step per Measurement Period:

<Table>
<Caption>
                               CONSOLIDATED TOTAL NET DEBT                                    MARGIN
                                  TO CONSOLIDATED EBITDA                               (PER CENT. PER ANNUM)
         <S>                                                                                   <C>
         Greater than or equal to 4.0:1                                                        2.75%

         Greater than or equal to 3.5:1 but less than 4.0:1                                    2.50%

         Greater than or equal to 3.0:1 but less than 3.5:1                                    2.25%

         Greater than or equal to 2.5:1 but less than 3.0:1                                    2.00%

         Greater than or equal to 2.0:1 but less than 2.5:1                                    1.75%

         Greater than or equal to 1.5:1 but less than 2.0:1                                    1.50%

         Less than 1.5:1                                                                       1.25%
</Table>

        Provided that prior to 28th September, 2002 but following the issue of
        shares pursuant to the Equity Offering launched on the date hereof (the
        date of such issue of shares being the "ISSUE DATE"), the Company shall
        be permitted to provide to the Facility Agent pro forma consolidated
        financial statements for a twelve month period (the "INTERIM MEASUREMENT
        PERIOD") ending on 30th April, 2002. If, by reference to such pro forma
        consolidated financial statements, the ratio of Consolidated Total Net
        Debt to Consolidated EBITDA for the Interim Measurement Period is less
        than 4.0:1 the Margin for the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility A
        will be two point five zero per cent. (2.50%) per annum for the period
        from the date of receipt by the Facility Agent of the pro forma
        consolidated financial statements to 28th September, 2002.

(c)     The Margin for Facility B will be three point five zero per cent.
        (3.50%) per annum.

(d)     Notwithstanding paragraph (a) or (b) above, for so long as:

        (i)    the Company is in default of its obligation under this Agreement
               to provide a Compliance Certificate or relevant financial
               statements; or

<Page>

                                       47

        (ii)   an Event of Default is outstanding,

        the Margin with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility A
        will be two point seven five per cent.(2.75%) per annum.

(e)     Any change in Margin takes effect upon receipt by the Facility Agent of
        the relevant Compliance Certificate and consolidated financial
        statements of the Plc Group for the relevant Measurement Period
        delivered under Clause 21.2 (Compliance Certificate).

(f)     If the Margin has been reduced under this Clause in reliance on the
        unaudited financial statements of the Company and related Compliance
        Certificate for the previous Measurement Period, and the subsequent
        audited financial statements of the Company for such Measurement Period
        do not confirm the reduction, the reduction will be reversed with
        retrospective effect so that the Margin will instead be that calculated
        by reference to the relevant audited financial statements of the
        Company. If, in this event, any amount of interest has been paid by a
        Borrower on the basis of the unaudited financial statements of the
        Company and related Compliance Certificate, that Borrower must
        immediately pay to the Facility Agent any shortfall in the amount which
        would have been paid to the Lenders if the Margin had been calculated by
        reference to the relevant audited financial statements.

12.3    PAYMENT OF INTEREST

        Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each
        Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on the last
        day of each Interest Period and also, if the Interest Period is longer
        than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the
        first day of that Interest Period.

12.4    INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS

(a)     If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance
        Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay
        interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of
        actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.

(b)     Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the
        Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would
        have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of
        non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount.
        For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting reasonably):

        (i)    select successive Interest Periods of any duration of up to three
               months; and

        (ii)   determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Interest
               Period.

(c)     Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a
        principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable prior to the last
        day of its current Interest Period, then:

        (i)    the first Interest Period for that overdue amount will be the
               unexpired portion of that Interest Period; and

        (ii)   the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first
               Interest Period will be one per cent. per annum above the rate
               then payable on that Loan.

        After the expiry of the first Interest Period for that overdue amount,
        the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with
        paragraph (b) above.

<Page>

                                       48

(d)     Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that
        overdue amount at the end of each of its Interest Periods but will
        remain immediately due and payable.

12.5    NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST

        The Facility Agent must promptly notify each relevant Party of the
        determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

13.     INTEREST PERIODS

13.1    SELECTION

(a)     Each Revolving Credit Loan has one Interest Period only.

(b)     Each Term Loan has successive Interest Periods.

(c)     A Borrower must select the (or the first) Interest Period for a Loan in
        the relevant Request. In respect of a Term Loan which has been borrowed,
        the Borrower will select the Interest Period in a notice to be delivered
        to the Facility Agent no later than the date falling three Business Days
        before the first day of the new Interest Period. If the Borrower does
        not deliver a notice, the Interest Period will be three months.

(d)     Subject to the following provisions of this Clause, each Interest Period
        for a Loan will be one, three or six months or any other period agreed
        by the Company and the Lenders.

13.2    NO OVERRUNNING THE FINAL MATURITY DATE

        If an Interest Period for a Credit would otherwise overrun the Revolving
        Credit Final Maturity Date, the Facility A Final Maturity Date or the
        Facility B Final Maturity Date (each a "FINAL MATURITY DATE") (as
        applicable for that Credit), it will be shortened so that it ends on the
        relevant Final Maturity Date.

13.3    OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

        The Parties agree that the Loans may be split into a maximum of six
        separate Loans. The Facility Agent and the Company may enter into such
        arrangements as they may agree for the adjustment of Interest Periods
        for the purpose of the consolidation and/or splitting of Loans and
        otherwise for effecting the splitting of the Loans as permitted hereby.

13.4    SYNDICATION

        Until the date which is the earlier of six months after Closing and the
        date on which the Facility Agent notifies the Company that Syndication
        is complete, the duration of each Interest Period shall be one month or
        such other period (not exceeding six months) as may be agreed between
        the Company and the Facility Agent.

13.5    NOTIFICATION

        The Facility Agent must notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
        duration of each Interest Period promptly after ascertaining its
        duration.

14.     MARKET DISRUPTION

14.1    FAILURE OF A REFERENCE BANK TO SUPPLY A RATE

        If IBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but a
        Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 12.00 noon (local time) on a
        Rate Fixing Day, the applicable IBOR will, subject as provided below, be
        calculated on the basis of the rates of the remaining Reference Banks.

14.2    MARKET DISRUPTION

(a)     In this Clause, each of the following events is a "MARKET DISRUPTION
        EVENT":

        (i)    IBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but
               no, or only one, Reference Bank supplies a rate by 12.00 noon
               (London or Brussels time, as appropriate) on the Rate Fixing Day;
               or

        (ii)   the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate
               Fixing Day notification from Lenders whose shares in the relevant
               Loan exceed 30 per cent. of that Loan that the cost to them of
               obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market is
               in excess of IBOR for the relevant Interest Period.

(b)     The Facility Agent must promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of a
        market disruption event.

(c)     After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on
        each Lender's share in the affected Loan for the relevant Interest
        Period will be the aggregate of the applicable:

        (i)    Margin;

        (ii)   rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as
               practicable and in any event prior to the end of that Interest
               Period to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum
               the cost to that Lender of funding its share in that Loan from

        agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest

        means a Lender or the Issuing Bank which is created or organised under

15.2    TAX GROSS-UP

(a)     Each Obligor must make all payments to be made by it under the Finance
        Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required
        by law.

(b)     If:

        (i)    a Lender or the Issuing Bank is not, or ceases to be, a
               Qualifying Lender; or

        (ii)   an Obligor or a Lender is aware that an Obligor must make a Tax
               Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of
               a Tax Deduction),

        it must promptly notify the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent must then
        promptly notify the affected Parties.

(c)     Except as provided under paragraph (d) and (e) below, if a Tax Deduction
        is required by law to be made by an Obligor or the Facility Agent, the
        amount of the payment due from the Obligor will be increased to an
        amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to
        the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been
        required.

(d)     (i)    Except as provided in sub-paragraph (ii) below, an Obligor is not
               required to make an increased payment under paragraph (c) above
               to a Lender or the Issuing Bank that is not, or has ceased to be,
               a Qualifying Lender in excess of the amount that the Obligor
               would have had to pay under paragraph (c) above had the Lender or
               the Issuing Bank been, or not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender.

        (ii)   Sub-paragraph (i) above will not apply if the Lender or the
               Issuing Bank has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender by reason of
               any change after the date it became a Lender or the Issuing Bank
               under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation,
               administration, or application of) any law or double taxation
               agreement or any published practice or concession of any relevant
               taxing authority.

(e)     An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender or
        the Issuing Bank under paragraph (c) above if that Lender or the Issuing
        Bank is a Treaty Lender and the

<Page>

                                       52

        Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the Tax Deduction
        would not have been required if the Lender or the Issuing Bank had
        complied with its obligations under paragraph (h) below.

(f)     If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor must
        make the minimum Tax Deduction and must make any payment required in
        connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.

(g)     Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in
        connection with a Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction
        or payment must deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant Finance
        Party an original receipt, or if this is not available a certified copy
        thereof, or other evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting
        reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the
        appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(h)     (i)    A Treaty Lender must co-operate with each Obligor by using its
               reasonable endeavours to complete any procedural formalities
               necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that
               payment without a Tax Deduction.

        (ii)   A Treaty Lender, in respect of the United States, must timely
               deliver to the Facility Agent for transmission to the U.S.
               Obligor making the payment two original copies of Internal
               Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) certifying
               that it is a resident of a foreign country with which the United
               States has an income tax treaty.

        (iii)  A Lender or the Issuing Bank, as referred to in sub-paragraph
               (b)(iii) of the definition of Qualifying Lender, must timely
               deliver to the Facility Agent for transmission to the U.S.
               Obligor making such payment two original copies of either:

               (A)   Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor
                     form) certifying that the payments made pursuant to the
                     Finance Documents are effectively connected with the
                     conduct by that Lender or the Issuing Bank of a trade or
                     business within the United States; or

               (B)   Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor
                     form) claiming exemption from withholding in respect of
                     payments made pursuant to the Finance Documents under the
                     portfolio interest exemption; or

               (C)   such other applicable form prescribed by the Internal
                     Revenue Service certifying as to such Lender's or the
                     Issuing Bank's entitlement to exemption from United States
                     withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to
                     such Lender or the Issuing Bank under the Finance
                     Documents.

(i)     Any confirmation by a Lender of its status for the purpose of the
        definition of "U.K. Non-Bank Lender" must be given to the Facility Agent
        on or promptly after the date it becomes a Lender. The Facility Agent
        must promptly forward any confirmation received by it to the Company. A
        U.K. Non-Bank Lender must promptly notify the Company and the Facility
        Agent of any change to its status that may affect any confirmation made
        by it.

15.3    TAX INDEMNITY

(a)     Except as provided below, the Company must indemnify a Finance Party
        against any loss or liability which that Finance Party (in its absolute
        discretion) determines will be or has been suffered (directly or
        indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation
        to a

<Page>

                                       53

        payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or
        receivable) under a Finance Document.

(b)     Paragraph (a) above does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance
        Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which:

        (i)    that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the
               jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is
               treated as resident for tax purposes; or

        (ii)   that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of
               amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

        if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income
        received or receivable by that Finance Party. However, any payment
        deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as
        income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax
        Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for
        this purpose.

(c)     A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph
        (a) above must promptly notify the Company of the event which will give,
        or has given, rise to the claim.

15.4    TAX CREDIT

        If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party (in its
        absolute discretion) determines that:

        (a)    a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and

        (b)    it has used that Tax Credit (in the case of a U.S. Lender, on an
               affiliated group basis),

        and the Finance Party at its sole discretion is able to identify that
        Tax Credit as being attributable to that Tax Payment, then that Finance
        Party shall reimburse to the relevant Obligor such amount as the Finance
        Party shall determine to be the proportion of such Tax Credit as will
        leave the Finance Party after that reimbursement in no better or worse
        position then it would have been in if the Tax Payment had not been
        required.

        Nothing in this Clause 15.4 (Tax Credit) shall interfere with the right
        of a Finance Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it
        thinks fit and without limiting the foregoing no Finance Party shall be
        under any obligation to claim a Tax Credit or to claim a Tax Credit in
        priority to any other claims, relief, credit or deduction available to
        it. No Finance Party shall be obliged to disclose any information
        relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

15.5    STAMP TAXES

        The Company must pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any stamp
        duty, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the
        entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except
        for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into of a Transfer
        Certificate.

15.6    VALUE ADDED TAXES

(a)     Any amount (including costs and expenses) payable under a Finance
        Document by an Obligor is exclusive of any Tax (including value added
        tax) which might be chargeable in connection

<Page>

                                       54

        with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Obligor must pay to
        the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that
        amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax.

(b)     The obligation of any Obligor under paragraph (a) above will be reduced
        to the extent that the Finance Party is entitled to repayment or a
        credit in respect of the relevant Tax.

16.     INCREASED COSTS

16.1    INCREASED COSTS

        Except as provided below in this Clause, the Company must pay to a
        Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance
        Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of:

        (a)    the introduction of, or any change in, or any change in the
               interpretation or application of, any law or regulation; or

        (b)    compliance with any law or regulation,

        (including any law or regulation relating to taxation, change in
        currency of a country or reserve asset, special deposit, cash ratio,
        liquidity or capital adequacy requirements or any other form of banking
        or monetary control). Any demand made under this Clause 16.1 (Increased
        Costs) shall give reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to
        the increased cost in question, but nothing in this paragraph requires
        the Finance Party to disclose any confidential information regarding tax
        or other affairs or computations which it regards as confidential.

16.2    EXCEPTIONS

        The Company need not make any payment for an Increased Cost to the
        extent that the Increased Cost is:

        (a)    compensated  for under another  Clause or would have been but for
               an exception to that Clause;

        (b)    a tax on the overall net income of a Finance  Party or any of its
               Affiliates; or

        (c)    attributable to a Finance Party or its Affiliate wilfully failing
               to comply with any law or regulation.

16.3    CLAIMS

        A Finance Party intending to make a claim for an Increased Cost must
        notify the Company promptly of the circumstances giving rise to, and the
        amount of, the claim.

17.     MITIGATION

17.1    MITIGATION

(a)     Each Finance Party must, in consultation with the Company, take all
        reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which
        result or would result in:

<Page>

                                       55

        (i)    any Tax Payment or Increased Cost being payable to that Finance
               Party; or

        (ii)   that Finance Party being able to exercise any right of prepayment
               and/or cancellation under this Agreement by reason of any
               illegality,

        including transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance
        Documents to an Affiliate or changing its Facility Office.

(b)     The Company must indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and expenses
        reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of any step taken
        by it under this Subclause.

(c)     A Finance Party is not obliged to take any step under this Subclause if,
        in the opinion of that Finance Party (acting reasonably), to do so might
        be prejudicial to it.

17.2    CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY A FINANCE PARTY

        No term of this Agreement will:

        (a)    interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its
               affairs (Tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

        (b)    oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit,
               relief, remission or repayment available to it in respect of Tax
               or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

        (c)    oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to
               its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or any computation in respect of
               Tax.

18.     PAYMENTS

18.1    PLACE

        Unless a Finance Document specifies that payments under it are to be
        made in another manner, all payments by a Party (other than the Facility
        Agent) under the Finance Documents must be made to the Facility Agent to
        its account at such office or bank:

        (a)    in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant
               currency; or

        (b)    in the case of euro, in the principal financial centre of a
               Participating Member State or London,

        as it may notify to that Party for this purpose by not less than five
        Business Days' prior notice.

18.2    FUNDS

        Payments under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent must be made
        for value on the due date at such times and in such funds as the
        Facility Agent may specify to the Party concerned as being customary at
        the time for the settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in
        the place for payment.

<Page>

                                       56

18.3    DISTRIBUTION

(a)     Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents
        for another Party must, except as provided below, be made available by
        the Facility Agent to that Party by payment (as soon as practicable
        after receipt) to its account with such office or bank:

        (i)    in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant
               currency; or

        (ii)   in the case of euro, in the principal financial centre of a
               Participating Member State or London,

        as it may notify to the Facility Agent for this purpose by not less than
        five Business Days' prior notice.

(b)     The Facility Agent may apply any amount received by it for an Obligor in
        or towards payment (as soon as practicable after receipt) of any amount
        due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards the
        purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

(c)     Where a sum is paid to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for
        another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that
        Party until it has established that it has actually received it.
        However, the Facility Agent may assume that the sum has been paid to it,
        and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a
        corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been
        received by the Facility Agent, that Party must immediately on demand by
        the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it
        together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the
        date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate calculated by the
        Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

18.4    CURRENCY

(a)     Unless a Finance Document specifies that payments under it are to be
        made in a different manner, the currency of each amount payable under
        the Finance Documents is determined under this Clause.

(b)     Interest is payable in the currency in which the relevant amount in
        respect of which it is payable is denominated.

(c)     A repayment or prepayment of any principal amount is payable in the
        currency in which that principal amount is denominated on its due date.

(d)     Amounts payable in respect of costs and expenses are payable in the

        Dollars.

18.5    NO SET-OFF OR COUNTERCLAIM

        All payments made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents must be made
        without set-off or counterclaim.

                                       57

18.6    BUSINESS DAYS

(a)     If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a
        Business Day, the due date for that payment will instead be the next
        Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the
        preceding Business Day (if there is not) or whatever day the Facility
        Agent determines is market practice.

(b)     During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under
        this Agreement interest is payable on that principal at the rate payable
        on the original due date.

18.7    PARTIAL PAYMENTS

(a)     If the Facility Agent receives a payment insufficient to discharge all
        the amounts then due and payable by the Obligors under the Finance
        Documents, the Facility Agent must apply that payment towards the
        obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents in the following
        order:

        (i)    first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs
               and expenses of the Administrative Parties under the Finance
               Documents;

        (ii)   secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest
               or fee due but unpaid under this Agreement;

        (iii)  thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal amount
               due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

        (iv)   fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but
               unpaid under the Finance Documents.

(b)     The Facility Agent must, if so directed by all the Lenders, vary the
        order set out in sub-paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

(c)     This Subclause will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

18.8    TIMING OF PAYMENTS

        If a Finance Document does not provide for when a particular payment is
        due, that payment will be due within three Business Days of demand by
        the relevant Finance Party.

19.     GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

19.1    GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

        Each Guarantor jointly and severally (and in the case of Louisiana
        solidarily) and irrevocably and unconditionally:

        (a)    guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each
               Obligor of all its payment obligations under the Finance
               Documents;

        (b)    undertakes with each Finance Party that, whenever an Obligor does
               not pay any amount when due under any Finance Document, it must
               immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay that amount as if
               it were the principal obligor; and

<Page>

                                       58

        (c)    indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any
               loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any
               obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid
               or illegal; the amount of the loss or liability under this
               indemnity will be equal to the amount the Finance Party would
               otherwise have been entitled to recover.

19.2    CONTINUING GUARANTEE

        This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate
        balance of all sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents,
        regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

19.3    REINSTATEMENT

(a)     If any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor
        or any security for those obligations or otherwise) or arrangement is
        made in whole or in part on the faith of any payment, security or other
        disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency,
        liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of each
        Guarantor under this Clause will continue as if the discharge or
        arrangement had not occurred.

(b)     Each Finance Party may concede or compromise any claim that any payment,
        security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

19.4    WAIVER OF DEFENCES

        The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause will not be affected
        by any act, omission or thing which, but for this provision, would
        reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause
        (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party). This includes:

        (a)    any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any person;

        (b)    any release of any person under the terms of any composition or
               arrangement;

        (c)    the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release
               of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any
               rights against, or security over assets of, any person;

        (d)    any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other
               requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to
               realise the full value of any security;

        (e)    any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality
               of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any
               person;

        (f)    any amendment (however fundamental) of a Finance Document or any
               other document or security; or

        (g)    any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability
               of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any
               other document or security.

                                       59

19.5    IMMEDIATE RECOURSE

        Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any
        Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against
        or enforce any other right or security or claim payment from any person
        before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause.

19.6    APPROPRIATIONS

        Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under
        the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance
        Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

        (a)    without affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this
               Clause:

               (i)   refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys,
                     security or rights held or received by that Finance Party
                     (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those
                     amounts; or

               (ii)  apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees
                     fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise); and

        (b)    hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received
               from any Guarantor or on account of that Guarantor's liability
               under this Clause.

19.7    NON-COMPETITION

        Unless:

        (a)    all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under
               the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or

        (b)    the Facility Agent otherwise directs,

        no Guarantor will, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any
        payment or performance by it under this Clause:

        (i)    be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or
               receivable by any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its
               behalf);

        (ii)   be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect
               of any payment made or moneys received on account of that
               Guarantor's liability under this Clause; or

        (iii)  receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution
               or security from or on account of any Obligor, or exercise any
               right of set-off as against any Obligor.

        Each Guarantor must hold in trust for and immediately pay or transfer to
        the Facility Agent for the Finance Parties any payment or distribution
        or benefit of security received by it contrary to paragraph (a) above or
        in accordance with any directions given by the Facility Agent under this
        Subclause or pursuant to any claim or proof in the winding-up or
        liquidation of any Obligor.

                                       60

19.8    ADDITIONAL SECURITY

        This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any
        other security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

19.9    RELEASES OF GUARANTORS

        At the time of any sale or other disposal which is permitted by the
        terms of this Agreement and will not result or could not reasonably be
        expected to result in any breach of any term of any Finance Document, to
        a person or persons outside (and which will remain outside) the Group of
        all of the shares in the capital of any Guarantor (or of all of the
        shares in any other member of the Group such that any Guarantor ceases
        as a result thereof to be a member of the Group) such Guarantor shall be
        released from all past, present and future liabilities (both actual and
        contingent and including, without limitation, any liability to any other
        Guarantor by way of contribution) hereunder and under the Security
        Documents to which it is a party (other than liabilities which it has in
        its capacity as a Borrower).

19.10   U.S. GUARANTORS

(a)     In this Subclause:

        "FRAUDULENT TRANSFER LAW"

        means any applicable United States bankruptcy and State fraudulent
        transfer and conveyance statute and any related case law;

        "U.S. GUARANTOR"

        means any Guarantor incorporated or organised under the laws of the
        United States of America or any state of the United States of America
        (including the District of Columbia); and

        terms used in this Subclause are to be construed in accordance with the
        fraudulent transfer laws.

(b)     Each U.S. Guarantor acknowledges that:

        (i)    it will receive valuable direct or indirect benefits as a result
               of the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents;

        (ii)   those benefits will constitute reasonably equivalent value and
               fair consideration for the purpose of any fraudulent transfer
               law; and

        (iii)  it accepts that each Finance Party has acted in good faith in
               connection with the guarantee given by that U.S. Guarantor and
               the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents.

(c)     Any term or provision of this Clause 19 or any other term in this
        Agreement or any Finance Document notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate
        amount of the obligations for which any U.S. Guarantor shall be liable
        under this Clause 19 shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such
        U.S. Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any
        other Finance Document, as it relates to the U.S. Guarantor, subject to
        avoidance under any fraudulent transfer law, in each case after taking
        into account:

<Page>

                                       61

        (i)    all other liabilities of the U.S. Guarantor, contingent or
               otherwise, that are relevant under such fraudulent transfer law
               (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of the U.S.
               Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to any Borrower
               to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an
               amount equal to the amount paid by the U.S. Guarantor under this
               Clause 19); and

        (ii)   the value as assets of the U.S. Guarantor (as determined under
               such fraudulent transfer law) of any rights to subrogation,
               contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights pursuant
               to:

               (A)   applicable law; or

               (B)   any other agreement providing for an equitable allocation
                     among the U.S. Guarantor and the other Obligors of
                     obligations arising under this Agreement or any guarantees
                     of those obligations.

19.11   MAINTENANCE OF LIABLE CAPITAL

(a)     In this Subclause:

        "GERMAN GUARANTOR"

        means any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Germany.

(b)     To the extent the guarantee referred to in this Clause 19 (Guarantee and
        indemnity) secures any of the obligations of an affiliated company
        (VERBUNDENES UNTERNEHMEN) of a German Guarantor (which is constituted in
        the form of a GmbH) within the meaning of Section 15 of the German Stock
        Corporation Act (AKTIENGESETZ) (other than a German Guarantor's
        subsidiaries), the enforcement of the guarantee shall be, at all times,
        limited to the extent that such enforcement would lead to the relevant
        German Guarantor not retaining sufficient assets to maintain its
        registered share capital (STAMMKAPITAL) provided that the enforcement
        limitations set out in this Subclause 19.11 (Maintenance of liable
        capital) shall not apply in relation to any amounts borrowed by a
        Borrower under this Agreement for so long and to the extent on-lent to a
        German Guarantor or any Subsidiary from time to time of the relevant
        German Guarantor and further provided that for the purposes of
        calculating such assets the following balance sheet items shall be
        adjusted as follows:

        (i)    the amount of any increase of registered share capital of the
               relevant German Guarantor out of retained earnings
               (KAPITALERHOHUNG AUS GESELLSCHAFTSMITTELN) after the date of this
               Agreement that has been effected without the prior written
               consent of the Facility Agent shall be deducted from the
               registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor; and

        (ii)   loans and other contractual liabilities incurred in violation of
               the provisions of the Finance Documents shall be disregarded.

(c)     Furthermore, if and to the extent legally permissible and commercially
        justifiable in respect of a German Guarantor's business, the relevant
        German Guarantor shall, in a situation where:

        (i)    the relevant German Guarantor does not have sufficient assets to
               maintain its registered share capital; and

<Page>

                                       62

        (ii)   the Facility Agent would (but for this Clause) be entitled to
               enforce the guarantee granted under Clause 19 (Guarantee and
               indemnity) of this Agreement,

        realise any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet
        with a book value (BUCHWERT) which is significantly lower than the
        market value of the assets if such asset is not necessary for the
        relevant German Guarantor's business (BETRIEBSNOTWENDIG).

(d)     None of the above restrictions shall apply to the extent this Agreement
        secures a German Guarantor's own obligations.

19.12   LIMITATIONS

(a)     This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it
        would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial
        assistance within the meaning of Section 151 of the Companies Act 1985.

(b)     This guarantee does not include any amounts the guaranteeing of which
        would constitute the providing of unlawful financial assistance within
        the meaning of article 2:207(c) of the Dutch Civil Code. For the
        avoidance of doubt, the above carve-out for unlawful financial
        assistance included in this Clause 19.12(b) only applies to the extent
        any amount guaranteed under this Clause 19 has been used for the purpose
        of a (re-)financing of the subscription of, paying up or acquisition of
        any of the shares (or depository receipts) in the Obligors incorporated
        in The Netherlands and/or in their (direct or indirect) parent
        companies.

19.13   HEDGING BANK

        A Hedging Bank may rely on this Clause but may not make demand on any
        Guarantor under this Clause unless permitted to do so by the Priority
        Deed.

20.     REPRESENTATIONS

        reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        execution of the relevant documents, which registration or filing will
        be effected promptly and in any event within any prescribed time period.

        security equivalent to that granted over such asset immediately prior to
        its release from the Security Documents has been, or will, immediately

<Page>

                                       108

        the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent
        that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were the
        Facility Agent.

(c)     The Facility Agent may remove any security agent or co-security agent
        appointed by it and may appoint a new security agent or co-security
        agent in its place.

(d)     The Company must pay to the Facility Agent any reasonable remuneration
        paid by the Facility Agent to any security agent or co-security agent
        appointed by it, together with any related costs and expenses properly
        incurred by the security agent or co-security agent.

25.9    FACILITY AGENT AS JOINT AND SEVERAL CREDITOR

(a)     Each of the Obligors and each Finance Party agree that the Facility
        Agent shall be the joint and several creditor together with each Finance
        Party of each and every present or future obligation of any Obligor
        towards each Finance Party under or in connection with any Finance
        Document (other than the Bilateral Documents) and that accordingly the
        Facility Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance
        by the relevant Obligor of these obligations. However, any discharge of
        an Obligor of any of these obligations to the relevant Facility Agent or
        a Finance Party shall to the same extent discharge that Obligor
        vis-a-vis the other and a Finance Party and the Facility Agent shall not
        by virtue of this Clause 25.9 (Facility Agent as joint and several
        creditor) be entitled to pursue the Obligor concurrently for the same
        obligation.

(b)     Without limiting or affecting the Facility Agent's rights against any
        Obligor (whether under this Clause 25.9 (Facility Agent as joint and
        several creditor) or under any other provision of any Finance Document,
        the Facility Agent agrees with each Finance Party (on a several and
        divided basis) that, subject to what is set out in the next sentence, it
        will only exercise its rights as a joint and several creditor together
        with a Finance Party, with the consent of that Finance Party. However,
        for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in
        any way limit the Facility Agent's right to act in order to protect or
        preserve rights under any Security Document or to enforce any security
        created thereby, as contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement,
        the Priority Deed and/or the relevant Security Document (or to perform
        any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).

                                       109

(c)     Subject to the provisions of this Clause 25.9 (Facility Agent as joint
        and several creditor), the Facility Agent holds any security created by
        any Security Document in its own name and the Facility Agent shall have
        full and unrestricted title to and authority in respect of that
        security, subject always to the terms of the Finance Documents.

(d)     For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Clause 25.9 to the
        Facility Agent include references to it in its capacity as agent for the
        Finance Parties under this Agreement and as holder of the security
        created by the Security Documents as referred to above.

(e)     With respect to any Security Document governed by Dutch law and for
        Dutch translation purposes only, joint and several creditor shall be
        translated as HOOFDELIJK SCHULDEISER.

26.     ADMINISTRATIVE PARTIES

26.1    APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES OF THE FACILITY AGENT

(a)     Each Finance Party (other than the Facility Agent) irrevocably appoints
        the Facility Agent to act as its agent under the Finance Documents.

(b)     Each Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to:

        (i)    perform the duties and to exercise the rights, powers and
               discretions that are specifically given to it under the Finance
               Documents, together with any other incidental rights, powers and
               discretions; and

        (ii)   execute each Finance Document expressed to be executed by the
               Facility Agent.

(c)     The Facility Agent has only those duties which are expressly specified
        in the Finance Documents. Those duties are solely of a mechanical and
        administrative nature.

26.2    ROLE OF THE ARRANGERS

        Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, no Arranger
        has any obligations of any kind to any other Party in connection with
        any Finance Document.

26.3    NO FIDUCIARY DUTIES

        Except as specifically provided in a Finance Document, nothing in the
        Finance Documents makes an Administrative Party a trustee or fiduciary
        for any other Party or any other person. No Administrative Party need
        hold in trust any moneys paid to it for a Party or be liable to account
        for interest on those moneys.

26.4    INDIVIDUAL POSITION OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE PARTY

(a)     If it is also a Lender, each Administrative Party has the same rights
        and powers under the Finance Documents as any other Lender and may
        exercise those rights and powers as though it were not an Administrative
        Party.

(b)     Each Administrative Party may:

        (i)    carry on any business with any Obligor or its related entities
               (including acting as an agent or a trustee for any other
               financing); and

<Page>

                                       110

        (ii)   retain any profits or remuneration it receives under the Finance
               Documents or in relation to any other business it carries on with
               any Obligor or its related entities.

26.5    RELIANCE

        The Facility Agent may:

        (a)    rely on any notice or document believed by it to be genuine and
               correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the
               proper person;

        (b)    rely on any statement made by any person regarding any matters
               which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or
               within his power to verify;

        (c)    engage, pay for and rely on professional advisers selected by it
               (including those representing a Party other than the Facility
               Agent); and

        (d)    act under the Finance Documents through its personnel and agents.

26.6    MAJORITY LENDERS' INSTRUCTIONS

(a)     The Facility Agent is fully protected if it acts on the instructions of
        the Majority Lenders in the exercise of any right, power or discretion
        or any matter not expressly provided for in the Finance Documents. Any
        such instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on all
        the Lenders. In the absence of instructions, the Facility Agent may act
        as it considers to be in the best interests of all the Lenders.

(b)     The Facility Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender
        (without first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or
        arbitration proceedings in connection with any Finance Document.

(c)     The Facility Agent may require the receipt of security satisfactory to
        it, whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise, against any
        liability or loss which it may incur in complying with the instructions
        of the Majority Lenders.

26.7    RESPONSIBILITY

(a)     No Administrative Party is responsible to any other Finance Party for
        the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of:

        (i)    any Finance Document or any other document; or

        (ii)   any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or
               supplied in connection with any Finance Document.

(b)     Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information
        supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document,
        each Lender confirms that it:

        (i)    has made, and will continue to make, its own independent
               appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the
               Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs
               of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and
               extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets); and

<Page>

                                       111

        (ii)   has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by
               any Administrative Party in connection with any Finance Document.

26.8    EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

(a)     The Facility Agent is not liable to any other Finance Party for any
        action taken or not taken by it in connection with any Finance Document,
        unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(b)     No Party may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent
        of the Facility Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the
        Facility Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that
        officer, employee or agent in connection with any Finance Document. Any
        officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent may rely on this
        Subclause and enforce its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third
        Parties) Act 1999.

26.9    DEFAULT

(a)     The Facility Agent is not obliged to monitor or enquire whether a
        Default has occurred. The Facility Agent is not deemed to have knowledge
        of the occurrence of a Default.

(b)     If the Facility Agent:

        (i)    receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement,
               describing a Default and stating that the event is a Default; or

        (ii)   is aware of the non-payment of any principal or interest or any
               fee payable to a Lender under this Agreement,

                  it must promptly notify the Lenders.
26.10   INFORMATION

(a)     The Facility Agent must promptly forward to the person concerned the
        original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Facility
        Agent by a Party for that person.

(b)     Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the
        Facility Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy
        or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(c)     Except as provided above, the Facility Agent has no duty:

        (i)    either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Lender
               with any credit or other information concerning the risks arising
               under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including any
               information relating to the financial condition or affairs of any
               Obligor or its related entities or the nature or extent of
               recourse against any Party or its assets) whether coming into its
               possession before, on or after the date of this Agreement; or

        (ii)   unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in accordance
               with a Finance Document, to request any certificate or other
               document from any Obligor.

(d)     In acting as the Facility Agent, the agency division of the Facility
        Agent is treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and
        departments. Any information acquired by the

<Page>

                                       112

        Facility Agent which, in its opinion, is acquired by it otherwise than
        in its capacity as the Facility Agent may be treated as confidential by
        the Facility Agent and will not be treated as information possessed by
        the Facility Agent in its capacity as such.

(e)     The Facility Agent is not obliged to disclose to any person any
        confidential information supplied to it by a member of the Group solely
        for the purpose of evaluating whether any waiver or amendment is
        required to any term of the Finance Documents.

(f)     Each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to disclose to
        the other Finance Parties any information which, in its opinion, is
        received by it in its capacity as the Facility Agent.

26.11   INDEMNITIES

(a)     Without limiting the liability of any Obligor under the Finance
        Documents, each Lender must indemnify the Facility Agent for that
        Lender's Pro Rata Share of any loss or liability incurred by the
        Facility Agent in acting as the Facility Agent, except to the extent
        that the loss or liability is caused by the Facility Agent's gross
        negligence or wilful misconduct.

(b)     The Facility Agent may deduct from any amount received by it for a
        Lender any amount due to the Facility Agent from that Lender under a
        Finance Document but unpaid.

26.12   COMPLIANCE

        The Facility Agent may refrain from doing anything (including disclosing
        any information) which might, in its opinion, constitute a breach of any
        law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person,
        and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or desirable to
        comply with any law or regulation.

26.13   RESIGNATION OF THE FACILITY AGENT

(a)     The Facility Agent may resign and appoint any of its Affiliates as
        successor Facility Agent by giving notice to the Lenders and the
        Company.

(b)     Alternatively, the Facility Agent may resign by giving notice to the
        Lenders and the Company, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint
        a successor Facility Agent.

(c)     If no successor Facility Agent has been appointed under paragraph (b)
        above within 30 days after notice of resignation was given, the Facility
        Agent may appoint a successor Facility Agent.

(d)     The person(s) appointing a successor Facility Agent must consult with
        the Company prior to the appointment. Any successor Facility Agent must
        have an office in the U.K.

(e)     The resignation of the Facility Agent and the appointment of any
        successor Facility Agent will both become effective only when the
        successor Facility Agent notifies all the Parties that it accepts its
        appointment. On giving the notification, the successor Facility Agent
        will succeed to the position of the Facility Agent and the term
        "FACILITY AGENT" will mean the successor Facility Agent.

(f)     The retiring Facility Agent must, at its own cost, make available to the
        successor Facility Agent such documents and records and provide such
        assistance as the successor Facility Agent may reasonably request for
        the purposes of performing its functions as the Facility Agent under the
        Finance Documents.

<Page>

                                       113

(g)     Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause will continue to
        benefit the retiring Facility Agent in respect of any action taken or
        not taken by it in connection with the Finance Documents while it was
        the Facility Agent, and, subject to paragraph (f) above, it will have no
        further obligations under any Finance Document.

(h)     The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Facility Agent, require it to
        resign under paragraph (b) above.

26.14   RELATIONSHIP WITH LENDERS

(a)     The Facility Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to
        payments under this Agreement and as acting through its Facility
        Office(s) until it has received not less than five Business Days' prior
        notice from that Lender to the contrary.

(b)     The Facility Agent may at any time, and must if requested to do so by
        the Majority Lenders, convene a meeting of the Lenders.

(c)     The Facility Agent must keep a register of all the Parties and supply
        any other Party with a copy of the register on request. The register
        will include each Lender's Facility Office(s) and contact details for
        the purposes of this Agreement.

26.15   FACILITY AGENT'S MANAGEMENT TIME

        If the Facility Agent requires, any amount payable to the Facility Agent
        by any Party under any indemnity or in respect of any costs or expenses
        incurred by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents after the
        date of this Agreement may include the cost of using its management time
        or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such
        reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Facility Agent may notify to the
        relevant Party. This is in addition to any amount in respect of fees or
        expenses paid or payable to the Facility Agent under any other term of
        the Finance Documents.

26.16   NOTICE PERIOD

        Where this Agreement specifies a minimum period of notice to be given to
        the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent may, at its discretion, accept a
        shorter notice period.

27.     EVIDENCE AND CALCULATIONS

27.1    ACCOUNTS

27.2    CERTIFICATES AND DETERMINATIONS

        (a)    the negotiation, preparation, printing and execution of any
               Finance Document (other than a Transfer Certificate) executed
               after the date of this Agreement;

        (b)    any amendment, waiver or consent requested by or on behalf of an
               Obligor or specifically allowed by this Agreement; and

        (c)    any other matter not of an ordinary administrative nature arising
               out of or in connection with any Finance Document.

30.3    ENFORCEMENT COSTS

        The Company must pay to each Finance Party the amount of all costs and
        expenses (including legal fees) incurred by it in connection with the
        enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Finance
        Document.

31.     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

31.1    PROCEDURE

(a)     Except as provided in this Clause, any term of the Finance Documents may
        be amended or waived with the agreement of the Company, on behalf of

        on behalf of any Finance Party, an amendment or waiver allowed under
        this Clause.

(b)     The Facility Agent must promptly notify the other Parties of any
        amendment or waiver effected by it under paragraph (a) above. Any such

        (i)    the definition of "MAJORITY LENDERS" in Clause 1.1 (Definitions);

        (ii)   an extension of the date of payment of any amount to a Lender
               under the Finance Documents;

        (iii)  a reduction in the Margin (other than in accordance with Clause
               12.2 (Margin)) or a reduction in the amount of any payment of
               principal, interest, fee or other amount payable to a Lender
               under the Finance Documents;

               of security));

        (vi)   a term of a Finance Document which expressly requires the consent
               of each Lender;

        (vii)  the right of a Lender to assign or transfer its rights or
               obligations under the Finance Documents;

        (viii) the ranking or subordination provided for in the Priority Deed
               and/or the Subordination Agreement;

        (ix)   unless provided for in this Agreement (including, without
               limitation, due to a disposal permitted under this Agreement), a
               release of security over any shares or a release of security over
               any assets worth L2,500,000 or its equivalent or more, granted
               under the Security Documents; or

        (x)    this Clause,

        may only be made with the consent of all the Lenders.

(b)     An amendment or waiver which relates to the rights or obligations of an
        Administrative Party may only be made with the consent of that
        Administrative Party.

31.3    CHANGE OF CURRENCY

        If a change in any currency of a country occurs (including where there
        is more than one currency or currency unit recognised at the same time
        as the lawful currency of a country), the Finance Documents will be
        amended to the extent the Facility Agent (acting reasonably and after
        consultation with the Company) determines is necessary to reflect the
        change.

31.4    WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

        The rights of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents:

        (a)    may be exercised as often as necessary;

        (b)    are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general
               law; and

        (c)    may be waived only in writing and specifically.

<Page>

                                       118

        Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that
        right.

32.     CHANGES TO THE PARTIES

32.1    ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY OBLIGORS

        No Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations
        under the Finance Documents without the prior consent of all the
        Lenders.

32.2    ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY LENDERS

(a)     A Lender (the "EXISTING LENDER") may, subject to the following
        provisions of this Subclause and Subclause 7.2 (Assignments and
        transfers), at any time assign or transfer (including by way of
        novation) any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any
        other person (the "NEW LENDER"). The Facility Agent, as agent for the
        Borrowers, shall maintain a book-entry registration transfer system (the
        "REGISTER") for the purpose of all transfers made pursuant to Clause
        32.2 or Clause 32.3.

(b)     A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:

        (i)    the obligations are novated in accordance with the following
               provisions of this Clause; or

        (ii)   the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Company in
               form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it is
               bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. On the transfer
               becoming effective in this manner the Existing Lender will be
               released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent
               that they are transferred to the New Lender.

(c)     Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees, the New Lender must pay to
        the Facility Agent for its own account, on or before the date any
        assignment or transfer occurs, a fee of L1,000.

(d)     Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but
        excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this
        Agreement.

(e)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the transfer of
        all or any part of the rights and/or obligations under the Finance
        Documents shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the
        Register and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the Existing
        Lender with respect to such rights and/or obligations shall remain owing
        to the Existing Lender. The registration of the assignment, novation or
        transfer of all or any part of rights and/or obligations under the
        Finance Documents shall be recorded by the Facility Agent on the
        Register only upon the acceptance by the Facility Agent of a properly
        executed and delivered Transfer Certificate pursuant to Clause 32.3 or
        the satisfaction of the requirements of Clause 32.2(b)(ii) (at which
        time the Facility Agent shall be required to register the relevant
        transfer on the Register).

(f)     Unless the Facility Agent and the New Lender agree otherwise, the New
        Lender must accede to the German Law Security Trust Agreement referred
        to in Part I of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent documents) in paragraph
        B(n) under the heading "Security Documents" on the date the transfer of
        obligations to the New Lender becomes effective.

                                       119

32.3    PROCEDURE FOR TRANSFER BY WAY OF NOVATIONS

(a)     In this Subclause:

        "TRANSFER DATE"

        means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of:

        (i)    the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer
               Certificate; and

        (ii)   the date on which the Facility Agent executes that Transfer
               Certificate.

(b)     A novation is effected if:

        (i)    the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility
               Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and

        (ii)   the Facility Agent executes it.

        The Facility Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable a
        Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be
        in order.

(c)     Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender)
        irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed
        Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

(d)     On the Transfer Date:

        (i)    the New Lender will assume the rights and obligations of the
               Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in
               the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Existing Lender;

        (ii)   the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and
               cease to have those rights; and

        (iii)  the New Lender will become a party to the Priority Deed as a
               Senior Creditor (as defined in the Priority Deed).

32.4    LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY OF EXISTING LENDER

(a)     Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not
        responsible to a New Lender for the legality, validity, adequacy,
        accuracy, completeness or performance of:

        (i)    any Finance Document or any other document; or

        (ii)   any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or
               supplied in connection with any Finance Document,

        and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)     Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance
        Parties that it:

        (i)    has made, and will continue to make, its own independent
               appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the
               Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs
               of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and
               extent

<Page>

                                       120

               of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection
               with its participation in this Agreement; and

        (ii)   has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by
               the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document.

(c)     Nothing in any Finance Document requires an Existing Lender to:

        (i)    accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and
               obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or

        (ii)   support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the
               non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any
               Finance Document or otherwise.

32.5    COSTS RESULTING FROM CHANGE OF LENDER OR FACILITY OFFICE

        If:

        (a)    a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations
               under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

        (b)    as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment,
               transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to pay a
               Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

        then, the Obligor need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to
        the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment,
        transfer or change had occurred.

32.6    ADDITIONAL OBLIGORS

(a)     If the Company wishes one of its Subsidiaries to become an Additional
        Obligor, then it may (following consultation with the Facility Agent)
        deliver to the Facility Agent the relevant documents and evidence listed
        in Part II of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent documents).

(b)     The prior consent of all the Lenders is required if the Additional
        Borrower is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary incorporated in the U.K. or
        the U.S. and, unless all the Lenders agree otherwise, each Additional
        Borrower which is not already a Guarantor must accede to this Agreement
        as an Additional Guarantor at the same time it becomes an Additional
        Borrower. The Lenders may impose such limitations on the ability of an
        Additional Borrower to borrow under any Facility as they deem reasonably
        necessary.

(c)     The Company must ensure that each wholly-owned Material Subsidiary at
        the date of this Agreement is a Party at the date of this Agreement.

(d)     The Company must ensure that each Material Subsidiary, other than those
        referred to in paragraph (c) above, becomes an Additional Guarantor
        within 45 days of the date of the previous financial year end or
        financial half-year end on which it is or becomes a Material Subsidiary,
        except that no Material Subsidiary which is a joint venture company will
        be required to become an Additional Guarantor unless necessary for the
        purposes of Clause 22.7 (Guarantor cover).

(e)     (i)    The Company need only perform its obligations under paragraph
               (d) above if it is not unlawful for the relevant Material
               Subsidiary to become an Additional Guarantor or it

<Page>

                                       121

               would not result in personal liability for that Material
               Subsidiary's directors or other management.

        (ii)   The Company must use reasonable endeavours to avoid any
               unlawfulness or personal liability in the circumstances mentioned
               in sub-paragraph (i) above. This includes agreeing to a limit on
               the amount secured or guaranteed. The Facility Agent may agree to
               such a limit if to do so might avoid the relevant unlawfulness or
               personal liability.

(f)     The relevant Subsidiary will become an Additional Obligor when the
        Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and the Company that
        it has received all of the documents and evidence referred to in
        paragraph (a) above in form and substance satisfactory to it, acting
        reasonably. The Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as
        reasonably practicable.

(g)     Delivery of an Accession Deed, executed by the relevant Subsidiary and
        the Company, to the Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that
        Subsidiary and the Company that the Repeating Representations are then
        correct.

32.7    SECURITY

(a)     Each Obligor must, and must procure that each Material Subsidiary, on
        acquiring any asset which:

        (i)    would not be immediately and effectively charged by the then
               existing Security Documents: and

        (ii)   is of a type which is charged by the then existing Security
               Documents,

        executes and delivers to the Facility Agent such further or additional
        Security Documents in relation to such assets as the Majority Lenders
        may reasonably require and in form and substance satisfactory to them.

(b)     Each Obligor shall execute and deliver to the Facility Agent such
        further or additional Security Documents in such form as the Majority
        Lenders shall require pledging the shares in any entity which becomes a
        Material Subsidiary after Closing.

(c)     Upon the occurrence of a Default which is continuing any and each
        Obligor, if so required by the Majority Lenders, shall execute and
        deliver to the Facility Agent such further or additional Security
        Documents in such form and in relation to such assets as the Majority
        Lenders may require, subject in each case to any provisions of law
        prohibiting such person from entering into such Security Documents.

(d)     (i)    The Obligors need only perform their obligations under
               paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above if it is not unlawful for the
               relevant person to execute such Security Documents or it would
               not result in personal liability for that person's directors or
               other management.

        (ii)   Each Obligor must use reasonable endeavours lawfully to avoid any
               unlawfulness or personal liability in the circumstances mentioned
               in sub-paragraph (i) above. This includes agreeing to a limit on
               the amount secured or guaranteed. The Facility Agent may (but
               shall not be obliged to) agree to such a limit if, in its
               opinion, to do so might avoid the relevant unlawfulness or
               personal liability.

<Page>

                                       122

(e)     Each Obligor shall, and shall procure that each other relevant member of
        the Group which is its Subsidiary shall, at its own expense execute and
        do all such assurances, acts and things as the Facility Agent may
        reasonably require for:

        (i)    perfecting or protecting the security intended to be afforded by
               the Security Documents;

        (ii)   if the Security Documents have become enforceable for
               facilitating the realisation of all or any part of the assets
               which are subject to the Security Documents and the exercise of
               all powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Facility
               Agent or in any receiver of all or any part of those assets,

        and in particular shall execute all transfers, conveyances, assignments
        and releases of that property whether to the Facility Agent or to its
        nominees and give all notices, orders and discretions which the Facility
        Agent may reasonably think expedient.

(f)     On each date that a Security Document is entered into after Closing,
        each Obligor shall procure that the documents listed in Part II of
        Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent documents) in respect of the Obligor
        entering into such Security Document are delivered to the Facility
        Agent.

32.8    CHANGES TO THE REFERENCE BANKS

        If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender
        of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent
        must (in consultation with the Company) appoint another Lender or an
        Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank.

32.9    SUB-PARTICIPATION

        If a Lender sub-participates a proportion of its Commitment or its share
        of a Credit to a sub-participant during Syndication (the
        "SUB-PARTICIPANT"), and both the Company and the Facility Agent agree,
        when such Lender receives a request for instructions from the Facility
        Agent it must, if so instructed by the Sub-participant, exercise an
        additional vote (in relation to the proportion of its Commitment or its
        share of a Credit which has been sub-participated to the
        Sub-participant) in accordance with the instructions of the
        Sub-participant and such Lender's own vote (in relation to the
        proportion of its Commitment or its share of a Credit which has not been
        sub-participated) will decrease accordingly.

33.     DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

(a)     Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it
        by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with the Finance Documents.
        However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information:

        (i)    which is publicly available, other than as a result of a breach
               by that Finance Party of this Clause;

        (ii)   in connection with any legal or arbitration proceedings;

        (iii)  if required to do so under any law or regulation;

        (iv)   to a governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory
               authority with whose directions it is accustomed to comply;

<Page>

                                       123

        (v)    to its professional advisers;

        (vi)   to the extent allowed under paragraph (b) below; or

        (vii)  with the agreement of the relevant Obligor.

(b)     A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any person with whom it
        may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or
        other agreement in relation to this Agreement (a "PARTICIPANT"):

        (i)    a copy of any Finance Document; and

        (ii)   any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in
               connection with any Finance Document.

        However, before a participant may receive any confidential information,
        it must agree with the relevant Finance Party on behalf of the Company
        to keep that information confidential on the terms of paragraph (a)
        above.

(c)     This Clause supersedes any previous confidentiality undertaking given by
        a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement prior to it becoming a
        Party.

34.     SET-OFF

        A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an
        Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by
        that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed
        by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of
        payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the
        obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert
        either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of
        business for the purpose of the set-off.

35.     PRO RATA SHARING

35.1    REDISTRIBUTION

        If any amount owing by an Obligor under this Agreement to a Lender (the
        "RECOVERING LENDER") is discharged by payment, set-off or any other
        manner other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a
        "RECOVERY"), then:

        (a)    the recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply
               details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

        (b)    the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in
               excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have
               received if the recovery had been received by the Facility Agent
               under this Agreement; and

        (c)    the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount
               equal to the excess (the "REDISTRIBUTION").

35.2    EFFECT OF REDISTRIBUTION

(a)     The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment
        by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the
        Lenders accordingly.

<Page>

                                       124

(b)     When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above,
        the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance
        Parties which have shared in that redistribution.

(c)     If and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely on
        any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant
        Obligor will owe the recovering Lender a debt which is equal to the
        redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally
        discharged.

(d)     If:

        (i)    a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an
               amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and

        (ii)   the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to
               that recovery,

        each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the
        appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party,
        together with interest for the period while it held the re-distribution.
        In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in
        reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

35.3    EXCEPTIONS

        Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Lender need

               relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or

        (b)    it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which
               the recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of
               legal or arbitration proceedings, where:

               (i)   the recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those
                     proceedings; and

               (ii)  the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate
                     in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take
                     separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as
                     reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them.

36.     SEVERABILITY

        If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or
        unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

        (a)    the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of
               any other term of the Finance Documents; or

        (b)    the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions
               of that or any other term of the Finance Documents.

37.     COUNTERPARTS

        Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts.

                                   SCHEDULE 4

                        CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

1.      GENERAL

        The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average of the rates for each Lender
        calculated below by the Facility Agent on the first day of an Interest
        Period. The Facility Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost
        among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender.

2.      FOR A LENDER LENDING FROM A FACILITY OFFICE IN THE U.K.

(a)     The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the
        U.K. is calculated by reference to the Reference Banks in accordance
        with the following formulae:

        for a Loan in Sterling:

        AB + C(B-D) + E X 0.01 per cent. per annum
        ----------------------
               100-(A + C)

        for any other Loan:

        E X 0.01 per cent. per annum
        --------
           300

        where on the day of application of the formula:

        A      is the percentage of that Reference Bank's eligible liabilities
               (in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank of England
               requires it to hold on a non-interest-bearing deposit account in
               accordance with its cash ratio requirements;

        B      is LIBOR for that Interest Period;

        C      is the percentage of that Reference Bank's eligible liabilities
               which the Bank of England requires it to place as a special
               deposit;

        D      is the interest rate per annum allowed by the Bank of England on
               a special deposit; and

        E      is the charge payable by each Reference Bank to the Financial
               Services Authority under the fees rules (but, for this purpose,
               calculated by the Facility Agent on a national basis as being the
               average of the fee tariffs within fee-block Category A1 (Deposit
               acceptors) of the fees rules, applying any applicable discount
               and ignoring any minimum fee required under the fees rules) and
               expressed in pounds per L1 million of the tariff base of that
               Reference Bank.

(b)     For the purposes of this paragraph 2:

        (i)    "ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES" and "SPECIAL DEPOSIT" have the meanings
               given to them at the time of application of the formula by the
               Bank of England;

        (ii)   "FEES RULES" means the then current rules on periodic fees in the
               Supervision manual in the FSA Handbook; and

<Page>

                                       147

        (iii)  "TARIFF BASE" has the meaning given to it in the fees rules.

(c)     (i)    In the application of the formulae, A, B, C and D are included as
               figures and not as percentages, e.g. if A = 0.5% and B = 15%, AB
               is calculated as 0.5 x 15. A negative result obtained by
               subtracting D from B is taken as zero.

        (ii)   Each rate calculated in accordance with a formula is, if
               necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.

(d)     (i)    Each Reference Bank must supply to the Facility Agent the
               information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for
               that Lender. The Facility Agent may assume that this information
               is correct in all respects.

        (ii)   If a Reference Bank fails to do so, the Facility Agent may assume
               that the Reference Bank's obligations in respect of cash ratio
               deposits, special deposits and the fees rules are the same as
               those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation
               with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility
               Office.

        (iii)  The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its
               calculation over or under compensates any Lender.

3.      FOR A LENDER LENDING FROM A FACILITY OFFICE IN A PARTICIPATING MEMBER
        STATE

(a)     The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a
        Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by
        that Lender to the Facility Agent as its cost of complying with the
        minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b)     If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the
        Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such
        cost.

4.      CHANGES

        The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Company and the
        Lenders, notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which
        is required to reflect:

        (a)    any change in law or regulation; or

        (b)    any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial
               Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case,
               any successor authority).

        Any notification will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive
        and binding on all the Parties.

Mr. W. D. Wrench
16 Coates Hill Ct.
Bolton, Ontario, L7E 5R7

Dear Dave,

This will confirm our recent discussions regarding your new appointment with
Enodis Corporation.

This letter and agreement will replace our letter and agreement dated
February 7, 2000.

Effective April 1, 2001, you will assume the position of Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer for the Foodservice Group NA.

Your base salary will be Cdn. $240,000 plus a target bonus of 60% of salary,
to a maximum of 100% based on the Foodservice Group results. In addition you
will be eligible for annual stock option awards of 100% of base salary, as
provided in the attached Enodis executive bonus and stock option program.

Your car allowance will be Cdn. $1000 per month all in.

You will be on the Garland Commercial Range Limited payroll and the Garland
Benefit program, except you will participate in the Executive benefit
program, which at this time includes life insurance at 3x base salary plus
target bonus. Your vacation will continue at 4 weeks annually.

Should your services be no longer required and your employment is terminated
you will receive 12 months salary on termination as provided in the Enodis
policy.

You will continue to operate from your home office and from Garland. We will
cover the costs of necessary office equipment and ongoing operating costs.

As agreed in our discussions on immigration and tax implications, we will
assist you and cover the cost of obtaining a green card should that be
required, and the renewal of your current H1B visa. And if it becomes
necessary for you a file a tax return in the USA, the company will cover the
specific cost of preparation and filing.

I look forward to working with you during this tremendous period of change.

Sincerely,

/s/ Dave S. McCulloch
