                  thereof would be in excess of the Maximum Tax Deductible
                  Contribution Amount, within 30 days after Corp or one of its
                  U.S. subsidiaries determines, based upon its receipt of the

         B.       SALE OF U.S. BUSINESS UNITS:

                  (1)      Transfer of Plans' assets and liabilities. PBGC
                           consent will be obtained in advance of Corp entering
                           into an agreement to sell any of its U.S. business
                           units to a third-party purchaser (a "Sale") whose
                           debt both before the sale and immediately following
                           consummation of the Sale is not rated Investment
                           Grade, but only to the extent that such Sale
                           contemplates a proposed transfer of assets and
                           liabilities of the Plans to plan(s) of such
                           purchaser. Where PBGC consent is required, PBGC will
                           make its determination whether to consent as soon as
                           reasonably practicable, taking into consideration the
                           deadlines applicable to the transaction of which it
                           has been notified by Corp or its affiliates, but not
                           to exceed 30 days. With

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  respect to the transfer of the Plans' assets and liabilities
                  in connection with any Sale (i.e., whether or not the
                  purchaser's debt is rated Investment Grade before and
                  immediately following consummation of the Sale), any such
                  transfer will be in accordance with Code Section 414(l) using
                  PBGC safe harbor termination assumptions. Any assets in excess
                  of such Code Section 414(l) benefit liabilities in a Plan will
                  be retained in the applicable Plan and not be subject to
                  transfer in the event such Plan is split.

         (2)      No transfer of Plans' assets and liabilities. In the event of
                  a Sale in which the Plans' assets and liabilities associated
                  with the business being sold are not transferred to a plan of
                  a third-party purchaser, a reasonable estimate of the portion
                  of the proceeds of the Sale representing the net underfunding
                  that would otherwise be transferred to such purchaser in
                  accordance with the last sentence of Section 5(B)(1) and this
                  Section 5B(2) shall be contributed to the applicable Plan or
                  Plans no later than the next business date following the
                  effective date of such Sale (or as soon as reasonably
                  practicable thereafter, but in no case later than 15 days
                  thereafter, if and to the extent that any portion of the
                  proceeds received in such Sale are non-cash), and any
                  remaining amount in excess of the estimated amount shall be
                  contributed within 30 days of the date of the Sale. At least
                  30 days prior to the effective date of such Sale, Corp will
                  notify PBGC of the proposed Sale, the relevant pension data,
                  and the calculation of the money to be transferred to the
                  Plan. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the net
                  underfunding shall be computed based on the present value of
                  the applicable Plan's assets and liabilities as of the date of
                  the Sale and using the applicable actuarial assumptions then
                  being used by the PBGC for purposes of calculating plan
                  termination liability and using such other actuarial liability
                  projection methodology considered reasonable by Corp to
                  determine such liabilities on the Sale date based on employee
                  data as of the date of the most recent actuarial valuation for
                  the Plan updated to reflect significant demographic changes.
                  Any such amount contributed to the Plans may be used by the
                  Plans' respective trustees to purchase annuities in
                  satisfaction of liabilities under the Plans. Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing, no amount shall be required to be contributed
                  under this Section 5(B) beyond the Maximum Tax Deductible
                  Contribution Amount.

         (3)      In addition to the above, if the Plan Sponsor of the RELTEC
                  Plan is sold and the purchaser is, and will be immediately
                  after the Sale, an Investment Grade company, Corp will make
                  reasonable best efforts to have the purchaser assume
                  sponsorship of the RELTEC Plan and the Plan's assets and
                  liabilities. If the Purchaser is not Investment Grade, or does
                  not assume the RELTEC Plan, then proceeds of the sale shall be
                  used to pay into the RELTEC Plan sufficient monies to make the
                  RELTEC Plan fully funded on a PBGC termination basis, such
                  amount to be contributed in accordance with the timeframe set
                  forth above in the first sentence of Section 5B(2).

                                             as determined by the Plan's

                                             Plans in connection with the sale
                                             of a U.S. business unit; and

                           (b)      Except as provided otherwise herein, any

                                    Credit Balance for a Plan Year shall be made

                                    herein shall require contribution of the
                                    Minimum Funding Contributions or Normal Cost
                                    before the otherwise legally required due
                                    date for making Minimum Funding

                           (c)      Subject to Section 5C(1)(b) of this
                                    Agreement, each Plan's Required Credit
                                    Balance for any Plan Year must reflect the
                                    total amount calculated under Section
                                    5(C)(1)(a) above, regardless as to whether
                                    contributions are actually paid to the Plan
                                    and regardless as to whether the actual
                                    contributions have been limited pursuant to
                                    Maximum Tax Deductible Contribution Amount.

                  (2)      Contributions in Excess of the Maximum Tax Deductible
                           Contribution Amount.

                           Year will not be required to exceed that Plan's
                           Maximum Tax Deductible Contribution Amount. If any
                           portion of a contribution is not deductible for any
                           Plan for a Plan Year, then that portion shall not be
                           required to be contributed for the Plan Year for
                           which it is not deductible, and instead such portion
                           shall be carried over and paid in the next taxable
                           year in which it is deductible. Any such carryover

                                       5

                           payment will be in addition to any other
                           contributions required for such next Plan Year to the
                           extent deductible.

                  (3)      Determination of Minimum Funding Requirement.

                           For the purposes of this Agreement, Minimum Funding

2.       CONSTITUTION AND FORM

(A)      The Company hereby creates and grants to the persons to whom the
         Warrants are allotted (or to those persons to whom such Warrants are
         effectively transferred and on whose behalf application is made for
         registration as the holders thereof) up to 50,000,000 Warrants in
         aggregate with, subject to Condition 2(A), rights to subscribe at any
         time and from time to time during the Subscription Period for the
         Specified Number of Shares at the applicable Subscription Price in
         force on the relevant Exercise Date, all as more particularly set out
         in the Conditions.

(B)      The Warrants upon issue may be held in certificated or uncertificated
         form. Warrants held in uncertificated form shall be held through CREST.
         The provisions of Condition 8, Clause 3 and Schedule 3 shall apply in
         relation to the transfer or transmission of Warrants. Subject to the
         provisions of Condition 8, Clause 3 and Schedule 3, the Warrants are
         freely transferable.

(C)      Each Warrant Holder who wishes to hold Warrants in certificated form
         shall be entitled to a Warrant Certificate. Joint Warrant Holders will
         be entitled to only one Warrant Certificate in respect of their joint
         holding and it shall be delivered to the joint holder who is
         first-named in the Register in respect of the joint holding or to such
         other person as the joint holders may in writing direct to the Company.

(D)      If a Warrant Certificate is mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or
         destroyed it may be replaced at the Specified Office upon payment by
         the claimant of such costs incurred in connection therewith and on such
         terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Registrar and the Company may
         reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Warrant Certificates must be
         surrendered before replacements will be issued.

(E)      The Company shall comply with the terms of this Instrument and shall
         observe and perform the provisions of this Instrument which shall be
         binding on the Company and the Warrant Holders and all persons claiming
         through or under them respectively. Each Warrant Holder shall be
         entitled to receive a copy of this Instrument.

(F)      The Company shall comply with the provisions of the Warrant
         Certificates and the Conditions (and, in particular but without

         for adjusting the Subscription Price and the Specified Number contained
         in Condition 5) in all respects and the Warrants shall be held subject
         to such provisions and Conditions which shall be binding upon the
         Company and the Warrant Holders and all persons claiming through or
         under them respectively.

(G)      Without prejudice to the generality of sub-clause (F), the Company
         shall upon exercise of all or any of the Warrants from time to time
         during the Subscription Period issue and allot the appropriate number
         of Shares in accordance with the Conditions.

(H)      All Warrants which are issued by the Company but are not transferred to
         plc Shareholders (as defined in the Scheme Document) within 14 days of
         the Effective Date (as defined in the Scheme Document) of the Corp
         Scheme (as defined in the Scheme Document) by reason of such plc
         Shareholders only being entitled to a fractional share of such Warrants

3.       REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER

         Warrants held in uncertificated form shall be transferable in multiples
         of one Warrant in accordance with the CREST Regulations. Warrants in
         certificated form shall be transferable in multiples of one Warrant by
         instrument of transfer substantially in the form of transfer set out in
         Schedule 1 or such other form as may be approved by the Directors of
         the Company. The Company shall maintain, or procure to be maintained, a
         register of Warrant Holders holding Warrants. The provisions of
         Schedule 3 relating to the transfer, transmission and registration of
         Warrants in certificated form shall have full effect as if they had
         been set out in full in this Deed Poll. Title to the Warrants held in
         uncertificated form is recorded on the Operator register maintained by
         the Operator. Title to Warrants held in uncertificated form will pass
         upon registration of the transfer in the Operator register in
         accordance with CREST Regulations.

         No Warrants, either in certificated or uncertificated form, shall be
         transferable or exercisable until the Effective Date.

         If the Effective Date does not occur on or prior to the date falling
         thirty calendar days after the issue of the Warrants, the Warrants
         shall automatically become void.

4.       MEETINGS OF WARRANT HOLDERS

         The provisions of Schedule 4 shall have full effect as if they had been
         set out in full in this Deed Poll.

5.       MODIFICATIONS

(A)      Any modification to this Deed Poll may be effected only by deed poll,
         executed by the Company and expressed to be supplemental to this Deed
         Poll, and only if it shall first have been sanctioned by an
         Extraordinary Resolution, unless the modification is only of a formal
         or minor nature or is to correct a manifest or proven error or is to
         comply with mandatory provisions of law.

(B)      A memorandum of each supplemental deed shall be endorsed on this Deed
         Poll.

(C)      Notice of every modification to this Deed Poll shall be given by the
         Company to the Warrant Holders in accordance with Condition 12.

6.       BENEFIT OF THIS DEED POLL

(A)      The Company hereby acknowledges and covenants that the benefit of the
         covenants, obligations and conditions on the part of or binding upon it
         contained in this Deed Poll shall enure to each and every Warrant
         Holder.

(B)      Each Warrant Holder shall be entitled severally to enforce the said
         covenants, obligations and conditions against the Company insofar as
         each Warrant Holder's Warrants are concerned, without the need to join
         the original allottee of any Warrant or any intervening purchaser or
         transferee of a Warrant or other Warrant Holder in the proceedings for
         enforcement.

7.       US SECURITIES LAW

         The Company has filed a Registration Statement, and shall use

         subject to the provisions of Condition 2(E).

8.       THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

         A person who is not a party to this Deed Poll has no right under the
         Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of
         this Deed Poll, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third
         party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

9.       GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

         This Deed Poll is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance
         with, English law.

         The English Courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute
         arising out of or in connection with this Deed Poll and the Company and
         each Warrant Holder irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
         the English Courts.

         The Company and each Warrant Holder irrevocably waive any objection to
         the English Courts on grounds that they are an inconvenient or
         inappropriate forum to settle any such dispute.

                  shall be made by the payment in sterling of the Subscription
                  Price applicable on the Exercise Date either, in the case of
                  Warrants held in uncertificated form, through CREST in
                  accordance with CREST Regulations or, in the case of Warrants
                  in certificated form, by cheque sent to the Registrar, in each
                  case in favour of the Company.

         (C)      Each Warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for the
                  Specified Number of Shares at the then applicable Subscription
                  Price.

         (D)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless
                  satisfied that the exemption from registration provided by
                  Regulation S under the Securities Act is available, the
                  Directors may in their discretion refuse to permit any Warrant
                  Holder to exercise his Subscription Rights: (i) at any time
                  when a Registration Statement under the Securities Act is not
                  effective with respect to such exercise and the issuance of
                  Shares arising on such exercise or (ii) during any Blackout
                  Period imposed as described in Condition 2(E) below.

         (E)      In the event that, in the opinion of the Directors, it is
                  advisable to suspend use of the Registration Statement or the
                  prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, due
                  to (i) any request by the SEC or any other US federal or state
                  governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a
                  registration statement or related prospectus or for additional
                  information; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other US
                  federal or state governmental authority of any stop order
                  suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or
                  the initiation or threat of any proceedings for that purpose;
                  (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with
                  respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
                  from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any
                  jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for
                  such purpose; (iv) the existence of any fact or the happening
                  of any event which makes any statement of a material fact in
                  the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any
                  document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
                  reference untrue or which would require the making of any
                  changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus in order
                  that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
                  contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
                  state any material fact required to be stated therein or
                  necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
                  that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any
                  untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
                  material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
                  make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
                  under which they were made, not misleading; (v) the Directors'
                  determination that a post-effective amendment to the
                  Registration Statement would be appropriate; or (vi) pending
                  material corporate developments or similar material events
                  that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the
                  Directors believe public disclosure will be prejudicial to the
                  Company, the Company shall give written notice to the
                  Registrar to the effect of the foregoing and to the effect
                  that the Warrants may not be exercised during such time period
                  as may be specified in such notice (a BLACKOUT PERIOD). In the
                  event that the Warrant Holder seeks to exercise his
                  Subscription Rights during a Blackout Period, the Registrar
                  will notify the Warrant Holder, in accordance with Condition
                  12, that a Blackout Period is in effect. In no event shall the
                  Company impose a Blackout Period within sixty (60) days prior
                  to the expiration of the Subscription Period.

         (F)      The Registrar, and the Company, reserve the right to delay
                  taking any action on any particular instructions from the
                  Warrant Holder if the Registrar considers that it needs to do
                  so to obtain further information from the Warrant Holder or to
                  comply with any legal or regulatory requirement binding on it
                  (including the obtaining of evidence of identity to comply
                  with money laundering regulations), or to investigate any
                  concerns it may have about the validity of or any other matter
                  relating to the instruction.

3.       (A)      Provided the requirements of Condition 2 have been satisfied,
                  the Company shall allot the Specified Number of Shares
                  issuable on the exercise of the relevant Warrants not later
                  than 10 London Business Days after the Exercise Date (or, in
                  the case of any Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to
                  Condition 5(A)(iv)(g) as a result of a Retroactive Adjustment
                  (as defined in Condition 5(A)(iv)(g)), not later than 10
                  London Business Days after the relevant adjustment to the
                  Specified Number takes place).

         (B)      All Shares so allotted shall be fully paid and shall rank pari
                  passu in all respects with the other fully paid Shares in
                  issue on the Exercise Date, and shall accordingly entitle the
                  holders of those Shares to participate in full in all
                  dividends and distributions paid or made on the Shares after
                  the Exercise Date, other than any dividend or other
                  distribution which shall previously have been announced,
                  declared, recommended or resolved by the Directors to be paid
                  or made on the Shares, the record date for which is prior to
                  the Exercise Date and notice of the intended dividend or other
                  distribution and of the record date shall have been given in
                  accordance with the rules of The Stock Exchange prior to the
                  Exercise Date.

         (C)      In the case of Warrants in uncertificated form, Shares arising
                  on exercise of any such Warrants shall be allotted and issued
                  in uncertificated form and credited by the Operator (in
                  accordance with the instructions of the Company and CREST
                  Regulations) to the CREST stock accounts of the person or
                  persons designated in the relevant Warrant Exercise Notice
                  within 10 London Business Days after the Exercise Date
                  (subject as set out in Condition 3(A) in relation to a
                  Retroactive Adjustment). In the case of the exercise of
                  Warrants in certificated form, the Company will by not later
                  than 20 London Business Days after the allotment procure the
                  issue of a share certificate in the name of the person stated
                  in the Warrant Exercise Notice and send, or procure the
                  sending of, such certificate to such person at the address
                  stated in the Warrant Exercise Notice or otherwise as directed
                  in accordance with the Warrant Exercise Notice, by ordinary
                  post at the risk of the person entitled to the Shares.

4.       (A)      While any Subscription Rights remain exercisable the Company
                  will, save with the approval of an Extraordinary Resolution
                  and subject as provided in Condition 4(B) below:

                  (i)      at all times keep available for issue free from
                           pre-emptive rights out of its authorised but unissued
                           share capital the aggregate Specified Number of
                           Shares as would be issued if all of the Warrants and
                           all other rights of subscription for and exercise
                           into Shares were to be exercised;

                  (ii)     not issue or pay up any securities, in either case by
                           way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, other
                           than (1) by the issue of fully paid Shares to the
                           holders of Shares (SHAREHOLDERS) and other holders of
                           shares in the capital of the Company which by their
                           terms entitle the holders thereof to receive Shares
                           on a capitalisation of profits or reserves or (2) by
                           the issue of Shares paid up in full out of profits or
                           reserves (in accordance with applicable law)

                           in lieu of the whole or part of a cash dividend or
                           (3) by the issue of fully paid equity share capital
                           (other than Shares) to the holders of equity share
                           capital of the same class and other holders of shares
                           in the capital of the Company which by their terms
                           entitle the holders thereof to receive equity share
                           capital (other than Shares) on a capitalisation of
                           profits or reserves, unless, in any such case, the
                           same gives rise (or would, but for the fact that the
                           adjustment would be less than one per cent. of the
                           Subscription Price then in effect, give rise) to an
                           adjustment of the Subscription Price or the Specified
                           Number on exercise of each Warrant;

                  (iii)    not in any way modify the rights attaching to the
                           Shares with respect to voting, dividends or
                           liquidation, nor issue any other class of equity
                           share capital carrying any rights which are more
                           favourable than such rights, but so that nothing in
                           this Condition 4(A)(iii) shall prevent (1) the issue
                           of any equity share capital to employees (including
                           directors holding executive office), whether of the
                           Company or any of its subsidiary or associated
                           companies, by virtue of their office or employment
                           pursuant to any scheme or plan approved by the
                           Company in general meeting or which is established
                           pursuant to such a scheme or plan which is or has
                           been so approved or (2) any consolidation or
                           subdivision of the Shares or the conversion of any
                           Shares into stock or vice versa or (3) any
                           modification of such rights which is Independently
                           Determined not to be materially prejudicial to the
                           interests of the Warrant Holders or (4) without
                           prejudice to any rule of law or legislation

                           Companies Act 1989 or any other provision of that or
                           any other legislation), the conversion of Shares
                           into, or the issue of any Shares in, uncertificated
                           form (or the conversion of Shares in uncertificated
                           form into certificated form) or any amendment of the
                           Articles of Association of the Company made in
                           connection with the matters described in this
                           Condition 4 or which is supplemental or incidental to
                           any of the foregoing (including any amendment made to
                           enable or facilitate procedures relating to such
                           matters and any amendment dealing with the rights and
                           obligations of holders of securities, including
                           Shares, dealt with under such procedures) or (5) any
                           issue of equity share capital where the issue of such
                           equity share capital results (or would, but for the
                           fact that the adjustment would be less than one per

                           equity share capital or modification of rights

                           Independently Determined what (if any) adjustments
                           should be made to the Subscription Price and/or the
                           Specified Number as being fair and reasonable to take
                           account thereof and such determination shall have
                           concluded either that no adjustment is required or
                           that an adjustment resulting in a reduction of the
                           Subscription Price is required and/or an increase in
                           the Specified Number is required and, if so, the new
                           Subscription Price and/or Specified Number as a
                           result thereof and the basis upon which such
                           adjustment is to be made and, in any such case, the
                           date on which the adjustment shall take effect (and
                           so that the adjustment shall be made and shall take
                           effect accordingly);

                           5(A)(iii) and that at no time shall there be in issue
                           Shares of differing nominal values, save where such
                           Shares have the same economic rights;

                           other action if the effect thereof would be that, on
                           the exercise of a Warrant, Shares would (but for the
                           provisions of Condition 5(A)) have to be issued at a
                           discount to their par value or otherwise could not,

                           and in respect of which the Company shall have
                           tendered to the Court such undertaking as it may

                           of capitalisation issue) of any reserve which may
                           arise in the books of the Company as a result of such

                           exercise of any Warrant will be admitted to the
                           Official List (as defined in Condition 5) and will be

                  below, will be adjusted in the following circumstances:

                  (i)      Consolidation or Subdivision: If there shall be an
                           alteration to the nominal value of the Shares as a
                           result of consolidation or sub-division, the
                           Specified Number shall be adjusted in accordance with
                           the following formula:

                           NE = OE x n/N

                           where:

                           NE       means the Specified Number after adjustment;

                           OE       means the Specified Number prior to
                                    adjustment;

                           N        means the number of Shares outstanding
                                    immediately before such event; and

                           n        means the number of Shares outstanding
                                    immediately following such event.

                           Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of
                           such alteration.

                  (ii)     Capitalisation of Profits or Reserves: If and
                           whenever the Company shall issue any Shares credited
                           as fully paid to the Shareholders by way of
                           capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any
                           share premium account or capital redemption reserve)
                           other than Shares issued wholly, ignoring fractional
                           entitlements, in lieu of the whole or part of a cash
                           dividend which the Shareholders would or could
                           otherwise have received, the Specified Number shall
                           be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

                           NE = OE x n/N

                           where:

                           NE       means the Specified Number after adjustment;

                           OE       means the Specified Number prior to
                                    adjustment;

                           N        means the number of Shares outstanding
                                    immediately before such event; and

                                    immediately following such event.

                           issue of such Shares.

                  (iii)    Other Events: If the Company determines that an
                           adjustment should be made to the Subscription Price
                           and/or the Specified Number as a result of one or
                           more events or circumstances not referred to in
                           Conditions 5(A)(i) and (ii), the Company shall, at
                           its own expense and acting reasonably, have
                           Independently Determined as soon as practicable what
                           adjustment (if any) to

                           the Subscription Price and/or the Specified Number
                           is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and
                           the date on which such adjustment should take effect
                           and upon such determination such adjustment (if any)
                           shall be made and shall take effect in accordance
                           with such determination. No such adjustment will be
                           made where the effect would be to vary the
                           Subscription Price by less than one per cent.

                  (iv)     General

                           (a)      On any adjustment to the Subscription Price
                                    pursuant to this Condition 5(A), the
                                    resultant Subscription Price, if not an
                                    integral multiple of one penny, shall be
                                    rounded to the nearest whole penny (0.5
                                    pence being rounded upwards). No adjustment
                                    shall be made to the Subscription Price
                                    where such adjustment (rounded if
                                    applicable) would be less than one per cent.
                                    of the Subscription Price then in effect.
                                    Any adjustment not required to be made, and
                                    any amount by which the Subscription Price
                                    has been rounded, shall be carried forward
                                    and taken into account in any subsequent
                                    adjustment but such subsequent adjustment
                                    shall be made on the basis that the
                                    adjustment not required to be made had been
                                    made at the prior relevant time. Notice of
                                    any adjustments to the Subscription Price or
                                    the Specified Number shall be given to the
                                    Warrant Holders in accordance with Condition
                                    12 as soon as practicable after the
                                    determination thereof.

                           (b)      No adjustment will be made to the
                                    Subscription Price or the Specified Number
                                    where Shares or other securities (including
                                    rights, warrants or options) are issued,
                                    offered, exercised, allotted, appropriated,
                                    modified or granted to employees (including
                                    directors holding executive office) of the
                                    Company or any Subsidiary or any associated
                                    company of the Company pursuant to any
                                    employees' share scheme (as defined in
                                    Section 743 of the Act or any modification
                                    or re-enactment thereof).

                           (c)      The Subscription Price may not be reduced
                                    and the Specified Number may not be adjusted
                                    so that, on exercise of the Warrants, Shares
                                    would be issued at a discount to their
                                    nominal value.

                           (d)      Where more than one event which gives or may
                                    give rise to an adjustment to the
                                    Subscription Price or the Specified Number
                                    occurs within such a short period of time
                                    that it is Independently Determined that a
                                    modification to the operation of the
                                    adjustment provisions is required in order
                                    to give the intended result, such
                                    modification shall be made to the operation
                                    of the adjustment provisions as may be
                                    advised by such investment bank to be in its
                                    opinion appropriate to give such intended
                                    result.

                           (e)      Where the circumstances giving rise to any
                                    adjustment pursuant to this Condition 5(A)
                                    have already resulted or will result in an
                                    adjustment to the Subscription Price and/or
                                    the Specified Number or where the
                                    circumstances giving rise to any adjustment
                                    arise by virtue of any other circumstances
                                    which have already given or will give rise
                                    to an adjustment to the Subscription Price
                                    and/or the Specified

                                    the operation of the provisions of this
                                    Condition 5(A) as may be Independently
                                    Determined to be appropriate to give the
                                    intended result.

                           (f)      If any doubt shall arise as to the
                                    appropriate adjustment to the Subscription

                                    and binding on all concerned, save in the
                                    case of manifest or proven error.

                           (g)      If the Exercise Date in relation to any
                                    Warrant shall be after the record date for
                                    any such issue as is mentioned in Condition
                                    5(A)(ii), but before the adjustment becomes
                                    effective under this Condition 5(A) (such

                                    Shares allotted or to be allotted to the
                                    relevant Warrant Holder on exercise of the
                                    relevant Warrant, is equal to the number of
                                    Shares which would have been required to be
                                    allotted on exercise of such Warrant if the
                                    relevant adjustment to the Specified Number
                                    (reflecting the event referred to in

                                    Shareholders to whom, by reason of the laws
                                    of any territory or requirements of any
                                    recognised regulatory body or any other
                                    stock exchange in any territory or in
                                    connection with fractional entitlements, or
                                    any other disapplication right of the
                                    Directors of the Company granted in the
                                    Articles, it is determined not to make such
                                    issue or offer.

                  (vi)     Fractions of Shares

                           No exercise of Warrants shall result in the issue of
                           a fraction of a Share (including, for the avoidance
                           of doubt, by virtue of a Retroactive Adjustment). If
                           a Warrant Holder exercising his Warrants would, but
                           for the preceding sentence and after aggregating all
                           Warrants being exercised by him, be entitled to
                           receive a number of Shares which includes a fraction
                           of Shares, such Warrant Holder's entitlement to
                           receive such number shall be rounded down to the
                           nearest integral number of Shares to exclude
                           fractions, whereupon he shall be paid the amount (in
                           sterling) equal to the value of the fraction of Share
                           forgone, as determined by the Company. Such payment
                           shall be made, in each case subject to any applicable
                           exchange control or other laws or regulations, (A) in
                           the case of a Warrant held in uncertificated form, to
                           the relevant Warrant Holder's cash memorandum account
                           with the Operator in accordance with the rules of the
                           Operator or (B) in the case of a Warrant held in
                           certificated form, by cheque by ordinary uninsured
                           mail to the exercising Warrant Holder (in accordance
                           with the instructions contained

<PAGE>

                                       22

                           in the Warrant Exercise Notice but at the risk of the
                           exercising Warrant Holder).

         (B)      For the purposes of paragraph (A) of this Condition:

                  CURRENT MARKET PRICE means, in respect of a Share at a
                  particular date, the average of the bid and offer quotations
                  published by, or derived from, the Relevant Stock Exchange for
                  one Share for the five consecutive dealing days ending on the
                  dealing day immediately preceding such date; provided that if
                  at any time during the said five day period the Shares shall
                  have been quoted ex-dividend (or ex-any other entitlement) and
                  during some other part of that period the Shares shall have
                  been quoted cum-dividend (or cum-any other entitlement) then:

                  (a)      if the Shares to be issued do not rank for the
                           dividend (or other entitlement) in question, the
                           quotations on the dates on which the Shares shall
                           have been quoted cum-dividend (or cum-any other
                           entitlement) shall for the purpose of this definition
                           be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an
                           amount equal to the amount of that dividend or other
                           entitlement (where it is a cash dividend or
                           entitlement) or, as the case may be, the Fair Market
                           Value of that dividend or other entitlement (where it
                           is not a cash dividend or entitlement) per Share as
                           at the date of announcement of such dividend or
                           entitlement (excluding any associated tax credit and
                           less the tax (if any) falling to be deducted on
                           payment thereof to a resident of the United Kingdom);
                           or

                  (b)      if the Shares to be issued do rank for the dividend
                           (or other entitlement) in question, the quotations on
                           the dates on which the Shares shall have been quoted
                           ex-dividend (or ex-any other entitlement) shall for
                           the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the
                           amount thereof increased by such similar amount,

                  and provided further that if the Shares on each of the said
                  five dealing days have been quoted cum-dividend (or cum-any
                  other entitlement) in respect of a dividend (or other
                  entitlement) which has been declared or announced but the
                  Shares to be issued do not rank for that dividend (or other
                  entitlement) the quotations on each of such dates shall for
                  the purposes of this definition be deemed to be the amount
                  thereof reduced by an amount equal to the amount of that
                  dividend or other entitlement (where it is a cash dividend or
                  entitlement) or, as the case may be, the Fair Market Value of
                  that dividend or other entitlement (where it is not a cash
                  dividend or entitlement) per Share as at the date of
                  announcement of such dividend or entitlement (excluding any
                  associated tax credit and less the tax (if any) falling to be
                  deducted on payment thereof to a resident of the United
                  Kingdom).

                  DEALING DAY means a day on which the Relevant Stock Exchange
                  is open for business and Shares may be dealt in on the
                  Relevant Stock Exchange.

                  DIVIDEND means any dividend or distribution, whether of cash,
                  assets or other property, and whenever paid or made and
                  however described (and for these purposes a distribution of
                  assets includes without limitation an issue of shares or other
                  securities credited as fully or partly paid up (other than an
                  issue of Shares falling within Condition 5(A)(ii) by way of
                  capitalisation of profits or reserves)).

                  EQUITY SHARE CAPITAL has the meaning ascribed to it in Section
                  744 of the Act.

                                       23

                  FAIR MARKET VALUE means, with respect to any property on any
                  date, the Independently Determined fair market value of that
                  property provided that (1) the fair market value of a cash
                  Dividend paid or to be paid shall be the amount of such cash
                  Dividend, (2) where options, warrants or other rights are
                  publicly traded in a market of adequate liquidity, as
                  Independently Determined, the fair market value of such
                  options, warrants or other rights shall equal the arithmetic
                  mean of the daily closing prices of such options, warrants or
                  other rights during the period of five trading days on the
                  relevant market commencing on the first such trading day such
                  options, warrants or other rights are publicly traded, or such
                  shorter period as such options, warrants or other rights are
                  publicly traded, (3) where options, warrants or other rights
                  are not publicly traded (as aforesaid), the fair market value
                  of such options, warrants or other rights will be as
                  Independently Determined on the basis of a commonly accepted
                  market valuation method and taking account of such factors as
                  are Independently Determined to be appropriate, including the
                  market price per Share, the dividend yield of a Share, the
                  volatility of such market price, prevailing interest rates and
                  the terms of such options, warrants or other rights, including
                  as to the expiry date and exercise price (if any) thereof, and
                  (4) in the case of (1), converted into sterling (if declared
                  or paid in a currency other than sterling) at the rate of
                  exchange used to determine the amount payable to Shareholders
                  who were paid or are to be paid the cash Dividend in sterling;
                  and in the absence of such a stated rate of exchange and in
                  the case of (2) and (3), converted into sterling (if expressed
                  in a currency other than sterling) at such rate of exchange
                  Independently Determined to be the spot rate at the close of
                  business on that date (or if no such rate is available on that
                  date the equivalent rate on the immediately preceding date on
                  which such a rate is available).

                  OFFICIAL LIST means the official list of the United Kingdom
                  Listing Authority for the purposes of Part VI of the Financial
                  Services and Markets Act 2000.

                  RELEVANT STOCK EXCHANGE means at any time, in respect of the
                  Shares, the Official List and/or, as the context requires, the
                  market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange or,
                  if the Shares are not at that time so listed, the principal
                  stock exchange or securities market on which the Shares are
                  then listed or quoted or dealt in.

                  SECURITIES includes, without limitation, shares in the share
                  capital of the Company.

         (C)      If an effective resolution is passed during the Subscription
                  Period for the voluntary winding up of the Company then:

                  (i)      if such winding up be for the purpose of a
                           reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme
                           or arrangement to which the Warrant Holders have
                           consented by means of a Extraordinary Resolution, the
                           terms of such scheme or arrangement shall be binding
                           on all the Warrant Holders; and

                  (ii)     in any other case, the Company shall forthwith
                           publish a notice in accordance with the provisions of
                           Condition 12, stating that such a resolution has been
                           passed and the Warrant Holder shall be entitled at
                           any time within three months after the date such
                           notice is published to elect by notice in writing to
                           the specified office of the Registrar to be treated
                           as if he had, immediately before the date of the
                           passing of the winding up resolution, exercised his
                           Warrants and he shall be entitled to receive out of
                           the assets which would otherwise be available in the
                           liquidation to the holders of Shares, such a sum

<PAGE>

                                       24

                           (if any) as he would have received had he been the
                           holder of and paid for the Shares to which he would
                           have become entitled by virtue of such exercise,
                           after deducting from such sum an amount equal to the
                           moneys which would have been payable by him in
                           respect of such Shares if he had exercised his
                           Warrants but nothing contained in this sub-paragraph
                           shall have the effect of requiring the Warrant Holder
                           to make any actual payment to the Company.

6.       The provisions for convening meetings of Warrant Holders to consider
         any matter affecting their interests, including the modification by
         Extraordinary Resolution of the Conditions, shall be as set out in
         Schedule 4 to the Deed Poll. An Extraordinary Resolution duly passed in
         accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4 to the Deed Poll at any
         meeting of the Warrant Holders shall be binding on all Warrant Holders,
         whether present or not.

7.       Should any Warrant Certificate be mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or
         destroyed it may be replaced at the Specified Office upon payment by
         the claimant of such costs incurred in connection therewith and on such
         terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Registrar and the Company may
         reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Warrant Certificates must be
         surrendered before replacements will be issued.

8.       Title to a Warrant in certificated form shall be transferable in any
         usual or common form or in any other form which may be approved by the
         Directors in units or multiples of one Warrant (provided that title to
         the Warrants comprised in a Warrant Certificate shall pass only on
         registration in the Register). The Company may deem and treat the
         Warrant Holder in certificated form as the absolute owner thereof for
         all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
         (except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or required by
         law) and shall not (except as aforesaid) be bound to recognise any
         equitable or other claim to an interest in such Warrant. Transfers of
         Warrants in certificated form may be effected by delivery of the
         Warrant Certificate to the Specified Office with a completed form of
         transfer executed by the Warrant Holder without charge, but upon (i)
         payment of any taxes, duties and other governmental charges, (ii) the
         Registrar being satisfied with the evidence of title and identity of
         the person requesting transfer and of due execution of the transfer and
         subject to such reasonable regulations as the Registrar and the Company
         may prescribe. The Registrar will, within five London Business Days of
         such delivery, deliver at its Specified Office to the transferee or
         (subject to any applicable laws and regulations) despatch by mail (at
         the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may
         request, a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the Warrant
         transferred. In the case of transfer of some only of the Warrants
         represented by the Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate in
         respect of the balance of the Warrants will be so delivered or
         despatched without charge to the transferor.

         For so long as a Warrant is held in uncertificated form, the person
         (other than a clearing system) who is for the time being shown in the
         Operator register as the Warrant Holder (an ACCOUNTHOLDER) (in which
         regard any certificate or other document issued by the Operator as to
         the amount of Warrants standing to the account of any person shall be
         conclusive and binding for all purposes) shall be treated as the holder
         of such amount of Warrants (and the expression Warrant Holder and
         holding Warrants shall be construed accordingly).

         Warrants held in uncertificated form may be transferred in accordance
         with the CREST Regulations.

         No Warrant, either in certificated or uncertificated form, shall be
         transferable or exercisable until the Effective Date.

<PAGE>

                                       25

         If the Effective Date does not occur on or prior to the date falling
         thirty calendar days after the issue of the Warrants, the Warrants
         automatically become void.

9.       The Company has the right to terminate the appointment of the Registrar
         provided that it will at all times maintain a Registrar with a
         specified office in England. Not less than 30 days' notice of any such
         termination or appointment shall be given by the Company to the Warrant
         Holders in accordance with Condition 12.

10.      The Company will pay any United Kingdom stamp, issue, registration or
         similar taxes and any capital duties imposed on the Company in the
         United Kingdom (i) in connection with the issue of Shares on exercise
         of the Subscription Rights, except where the Shares are issued to a
         person whose business is, or includes, issuing depositary receipts, or
         a nominee of or agent for such a person, or a person whose business is,
         or includes, the provision of clearance services for the purchase or
         sale of chargeable securities, or a nominee of or agent for such a
         person, or (ii) payable upon the Deed Poll being produced in evidence
         in any proceedings in connection with the enforcement of the Deed Poll,
         the Warrants or the Subscription Rights.

         For the avoidance of doubt, other than United Kingdom taxes and duties
         imposed on the Company, the Company is not responsible for the payment
         of any taxes, duties and other governmental charges as may be payable
         in relation to the transfer of a Warrant.

11.      All notices to be given hereunder by Warrant Holders to the Registrar
         shall be delivered at, or mailed by pre-paid air-mail to, the Specified
         Office for the time being of such person and shall be deemed to have
         been given upon delivery or, in the case of mailing, upon receipt
         thereof.

12.      All notices to be given to Warrant Holders holding Warrants in
         certificated form pursuant to these Conditions will be duly given if
         sent in the manner and to the address provided for in Schedule 3 to the
         Deed Poll. All notices to be given to Warrant Holders holding their
         Warrants in uncertificated form will be given by delivery of the
         relevant notice to the Operator for transmission to Warrant Holders.

13.      Warrant Holders are deemed to have notice of all the provisions of the
         Deed Poll and such provisions are binding on them. Copies of the Deed
         Poll will be available for inspection at the Specified Office.

14.      The Warrants are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance
         with, the laws of England.

         The English Courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute
         arising out of or in connection with the Warrants and the Company and
         each Warrant Holder irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
         the English courts.

         The Company and each Warrant Holder irrevocably waive any objection to
         the English Courts on grounds that they are an inconvenient or
         inappropriate forum to settle any such dispute.

                                   SCHEDULE 3

            PROVISIONS AS TO TRANSFER, TRANSMISSION AND OTHER MATTERS

The provisions set out in this Schedule only apply to Warrants issued in
certificated form.

1.       An accurate Register of the Warrants will be kept by the Registrar and
         there shall be entered in the Register:

         (a)      the names and addresses of the persons for the time being
                  entitled to be registered as Warrant Holders;

         (b)      the number of the Warrants held by every such registered
                  Warrant Holder; and

         (c)      the date at which the name of every such registered Warrant
                  Holder is entered in respect of the Warrants standing in his
                  name.

2.       Any change of name or address on the part of any Warrant Holder shall
         forthwith be notified to the Registrar and thereupon the Register shall
         be altered accordingly. The Warrant Holders or any of them and any
         person authorised by any such Warrant Holder shall be at liberty at all
         reasonable times during office hours to inspect the Register and to
         take copies of or extracts from the same or any part thereof by means
         of taking notes or the transcription of information.

3.       The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered Warrant Holder as
         the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not, except as ordered
         by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, be bound to
         recognise any equitable or other claims to or interest in such Warrant
         on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or
         other notice thereof.

4.       Every Warrant Holder will be recognised by the Company as entitled to
         his Warrants free from any equity, set-off or cross-claim on the part
         of the Company against the original or any intermediate holder of the
         Warrants.

5.       Every transfer of Warrant shall be made by an instrument of transfer
         substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1 to the Deed Poll or in
         any other form which may be approved by the Directors, and copies of
         which may be obtainable from the Specified Office.

6.       The instrument of transfer of a Warrant shall be signed by or on behalf
         of the transferor but need not be signed by or on behalf of the
         transferee. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the Warrant Holder
         until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect
         thereof.

7.       The Directors may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer
         unless such instrument is deposited at the Specified Office accompanied
         by (i) the Warrant Certificate to which it relates, (ii) such other
         evidence (including legal opinions) as the Directors may reasonably
         require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer and
         (iii) such evidence as the Company and the Registrar may require of the
         payment of any taxes, duties and other governmental charges as may be
         payable in relation thereto (other than United Kingdom taxes and duties
         imposed on or payable by the Company). The Directors may waive
         production of any certificate upon evidence satisfactory to them of its
         loss or destruction together with such indemnity and any fee as they
         may require.

                                       27

8.       No fee shall be charged for any registration of a transfer of a
         Warrant.

9.       No fee shall be charged for the registration of any other document
         which in the opinion of the Directors requires registration.

10.      The transfer books and the Register may be closed for such period as
         the Directors may from time to time direct, but so that the same may
         not be closed for a longer period in aggregate than thirty London
         Business Days in any one year.

11.      Any transfer made while the Register is so closed shall, as between the
         Company and the person claiming under the transfer (but not otherwise),
         be considered as made immediately after the reopening of the Register.

12.      The registration of a transfer shall be conclusive evidence of the
         approval by the Directors of the transfer.

13.      In the case of the death of a Warrant Holder the survivors or survivor
         where the deceased was a joint holder, and the executors or
         administrators of the deceased where he was a sole or only surviving
         holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having
         any title to his Warrants, but nothing herein contained shall release
         the estate of a deceased holder (whether sole or joint) from any
         liability in respect of any Warrant solely or jointly held by him.

14.      Subject to any other provision herein contained any person becoming
         entitled to a Warrant in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a
         Warrant Holder or otherwise than by transfer may, upon producing such
         evidence of title as the Directors of the Company shall require, and
         subject as hereinafter provided, be registered himself as holder of the
         Warrant.

15.      Subject to any other provision herein contained, if the person so
         becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself, he shall
         deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him
         stating that he so elects. All the limitations, restrictions and
         provisions herein contained relating to the right to transfer and the
         registration of transfers of Warrants shall be applicable to any such
         notice of transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the
         Warrant Holder had not occurred and the notice of transfer were a
         transfer executed by such Warrant Holder.

16.      A person becoming entitled to a Warrant in consequence of the death or
         bankruptcy of a Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive and may
         give good discharge for any monies payable in respect thereof, but
         shall not be entitled to receive notices of or to attend or vote at
         meetings of the Warrant Holders or, save as aforesaid, to any of the
         rights or privileges of a Warrant Holder until he shall have become a
         Warrant Holder in respect of the Warrant.

17.      Every Warrant Holder shall register with the Registrar an address
         either in the United Kingdom or elsewhere to which notices can be sent
         and if any Warrant Holder shall fail so to do notice may be given to
         such Warrant Holder by sending the same in any of the manners
         hereinafter mentioned to his last known place of business or residence
         or, if these be none, by posting the same for three days at the
         registered office for the time being of the Company.

18.      A notice given subject to the provisions of this paragraph may be given
         by personal delivery or prepaid letter by first class post (airmail in
         the case of an address outside the United Kingdom). In proving service
         thereof it shall be sufficient to prove that the envelope or wrapper
         containing the notice was properly addressed and stamped and was
         deposited in a post box or at the post office.

19.      A notice given pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 18 of this
         Schedule:

<PAGE>

                                       28

         (a)      delivered to the registered address shall be deemed to have
                  been served at the time of delivery;

         (b)      sent by prepaid letter by first class post to an address in
                  the United Kingdom shall be deemed to have been served on the
                  third day following its posting;

         (c)      sent by prepaid airmail letter to an address outside the
                  United Kingdom shall be deemed to have been served on the
                  fifth day following its posting.

20.      All notices given pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 18 of this
         Schedule with respect to Warrants standing in the names of joint
         holders shall be given to whichever of such persons is named first in
         the Register and such notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all
         the holders of such Warrants.

21.      Any person who by operation of law, transfer or other means whatsoever
         shall become entitled to any Warrant shall be bound by every notice in
         respect of such Warrant which previously to his name and address being
         entered on the Register shall be duly given to the person from whom he
         derives his title to such Warrant.

22.      Any notice given pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 18 of this
         Schedule or document delivered or sent by post or left at the
         registered address of any Warrant Holder in pursuance of these presents
         shall, notwithstanding such Warrant Holder be then deceased and whether
         or not the Company has notice of his death, be deemed to have been duly
         served in respect of any Warrants whether held solely or jointly with
         other persons by such Warrant Holder until some other person be
         registered in his stead as the holder or joint holder thereof and such
         service shall for all purposes of these presents be deemed a sufficient
         service of such notice or document on his or her executors or
         administrators and all persons (if any) jointly interested with him in
         any such Warrant.

23.      When a given number of days' notice or notice extending over any other
         period is required to be given, the day of service shall, but the day
         upon which such notice will expire shall not, be included in such
         number of days or other period. The signature to any notice to be given
         by the Company may be written or printed.

                                   SCHEDULE 4

                  PROVISIONS AS TO MEETINGS OF WARRANT HOLDERS

1.       The Company at any time may, and upon a request in writing of the
         Warrant Holders holding not less than one-tenth of the Warrants for the
         time being outstanding shall, convene a meeting of the Warrant Holders.
         Every such meeting shall be held at such place as the Directors of the
         Company may approve.

2.       At least fourteen clear days' notice shall be given to the Warrant
         Holders in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 18 of Schedule 3
         and of Condition 12 of a meeting of Warrant Holders. The notice shall
         specify the day, time and place of the meeting and the terms of the
         resolutions to be proposed. The accidental omission to give notice
         pursuant to paragraph 18 of Schedule 3 to or the non-receipt of any
         such notice by any of the Warrant Holders shall not invalidate the
         proceedings at any meeting.

3.       A person (who may, but need not be, a Warrant Holder) nominated in
         writing by the Company shall be entitled to take the chair at every
         such meeting but if no such nomination is made or if at any meeting the
         person nominated shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the
         time appointed for the holding of such meeting the Warrant Holders
         present shall choose one of their number to be chairman.

4.       At any such meeting two or more persons being Warrant Holders and/or
         being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of
         not less than ten per cent. of the Warrants for the time being
         outstanding shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary
         Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no
         business (other than the choosing of a chairman) shall be transacted at
         any meeting unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement
         of business. The quorum at any such meeting for the passing of an
         Extraordinary Resolution shall be two or more persons being Warrant
         Holders and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate
         the holders of not less than a clear majority of the Warrants for the
         time being outstanding.

5.       If within half an hour after the time appointed for any meeting a
         quorum is not present, the meeting shall, if convened upon the
         requisition of Warrant Holders, be dissolved. In any other case it
         shall stand adjourned for such period, not being less than fourteen
         days nor more than twenty-eight days, and to such time and place, as
         may be appointed by the chairman. At such adjourned meeting two or more
         persons present in person being Warrant Holders or being proxies
         (whatever the number of the Warrants so held or represented) shall for
         all purposes form a quorum and shall have the power to pass any
         resolution (including an Extraordinary Resolution) and to decide upon
         all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting
         from which the adjournment took place had a quorum been present at such
         meeting.

6.       The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any
         meeting adjourn the same from time to time and from place to place but
         no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except
         business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from
         which the adjournment took place.

7.       At least ten days' notice of any meeting adjourned through want of a
         quorum shall be given in the same manner as of an original meeting, and
         such notice shall state the quorum required at such adjourned meeting.
         Subject as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of
         an adjourned meeting.

<PAGE>

                                       30

8.       Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first
         instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of votes the
         chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting
         vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which the chairman
         may be entitled as a Warrant Holder or as a proxy.

9.       At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the
         result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or by one or more
         persons being Warrant Holders or being proxies and being or
         representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than ten per
         cent. of the Warrants then outstanding, a declaration by the chairman
         that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority
         or lost or not carried by any particular majority shall be conclusive
         evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the
         votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

10.      If at any meeting a poll is so demanded, it shall be taken in such
         manner and, subject as hereinafter provided, either at once or after
         any adjournment, as the chairman directs, and the result of such poll
         shall be deemed to be the resolution as at the date of the taking the
         poll of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. The demand for a
         poll shall not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the
         transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll
         has been demanded.

11.      Any poll demanded at any meeting on the election of a chairman or on
         any question of adjournment shall be taken at the meeting without
         adjournment.

12.      The Company (through its representatives) and legal and financial
         advisers shall be entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of the
         Warrant Holders. Save as aforesaid, no person shall be entitled to
         attend or vote at any meeting of the Warrant Holders or to join with
         others in requesting the convening of such a meeting unless he is a
         Warrant Holder or the duly authorised representative of a corporate
         Warrant Holder or a duly appointed proxy. Neither the Company nor any
         Subsidiary of the Company shall be entitled to vote in respect of
         Warrants held by it or on its behalf nor shall the holding of any such
         Warrants count towards a quorum.

13.      Subject as provided in paragraph 12 hereof, at any meeting:

         (a)      on a show of hands every Warrant Holder who is present in
                  person or (in the case of a corporation) by a duly authorised
                  representative and every person who is a proxy shall have one
                  vote; and

         (b)      on a poll every Warrant Holder who is present in person or by
                  proxy as aforesaid shall have one vote in respect of each
                  Warrant held by him.

         Any person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or
         cast all the votes to which he is entitled in the same way.

14.      A proxy need not be a Warrant Holder.

15.      A meeting of the Warrant Holders shall in addition to all other powers
         (but without prejudice to any powers conferred on other persons by
         these presents) have the following powers exercisable by Extraordinary
         Resolution, namely:

         (a)      power to sanction any compromise or arrangement proposed to be
                  made between the Company and the Warrant Holders or any of
                  them;

<PAGE>

                                       31

         (b)      power to sanction any proposal by the Company for
                  modification, abrogation, variation or compromise of, or
                  arrangement in respect of, the rights of the Warrant Holders
                  against the Company whether such rights shall arise under
                  these presents or otherwise;

         (c)      power to sanction any proposal by the Company for the exchange
                  or substitution for the Warrants of, or the conversion of the
                  Warrants into, shares, stock, bonds, debentures, debenture
                  stock or other obligations or securities of the Company, or
                  any other body corporate formed or to be formed;

         (d)      power to assent to any modification of the conditions to which
                  the Warrants are subject and/or the provisions contained in
                  these presents which shall be proposed by the Company;

         (e)      power to authorise any person to concur in and execute and do
                  all such documents, acts and things as may be necessary to
                  carry out and give effect to any Extraordinary Resolutions;

         (f)      power to discharge or exonerate any person from any liability
                  in respect of any act or omission for which such person may
                  have become responsible under these presents or the
                  Conditions;

         (g)      power to give any authority direction or sanction which under
                  the provisions of these presents or the Conditions is required
                  to be given by Extraordinary Resolution; and

         (h)      power to appoint any persons (whether Warrant Holders or not)
                  as a committee or committees to represent the interests of the
                  Warrant Holders and to confer upon such committee or
                  committees any powers or discretions which the Warrant Holders
                  could themselves exercise by Extraordinary Resolution.

16.      Any resolution passed at a meeting of the Warrant Holders duly convened
         and held shall be binding upon all the Warrant Holders, whether present
         or not present at such meeting, and each of the Warrant Holders shall
         be bound to give effect thereto accordingly. The passing of any such
         resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances of such
         resolution justified the passing thereof.

17.      The expression EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION when used in these presents
         means a resolution passed at a meeting of the Warrant Holders duly
         convened and held and carried by a majority consisting of not less than
         three-fourths of the votes cast upon a show of hands or, if a poll is
         duly demanded, by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths
         of the votes cast on a poll.

18.      Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting shall be
         made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for
         that purpose by the Company, and any such minutes, if the same are
         signed by the chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were
         passed or proceedings transacted or by the chairman of the next
         succeeding meeting of the Warrant Holders, shall be conclusive evidence
         of the matters therein contained and, until the contrary is proved,
         every meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been
         made and signed as aforesaid shall be deemed to have been duly convened
         and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted thereat
         to have been duly passed and transacted.

19.      Subject to all other provisions contained in these presents the Company
         may without the consent of the Warrant Holders prescribe such further
         regulations regarding the holding of

<PAGE>

                                       32

         meetings of Warrant Holders and attendance and voting thereat as the
         Company may at its sole discretion determine.
