9.1  SAME RIGHTS AS RECEIVER

     Any rights conferred by any Finance Document upon a Receiver may be

     (a)       to do anything which that Chargor is obliged to do (but has not
               done) under any Finance Document to which it is party (including
               to execute charges over, transfers, conveyances, assignments and

13.  PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

13.1 NO DUTY TO ENQUIRE

     No person dealing with the Security Agent, any other Secured Party, any
     Receiver or any Delegate shall be concerned to enquire:

     (a)       whether the rights conferred by or pursuant to any Finance
               Document are exercisable;

     (b)       whether any consents, regulations, restrictions or directions
               relating to such rights have been obtained or complied with;

     (c)       otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of acts purporting or
               intended to be in exercise of any such rights; or

     (d)       as to the application of any money borrowed or raised.

13.2 PROTECTION TO PURCHASERS

     Security Agent, any other Secured Party, any Receiver or any Delegate.

14.  SAVING PROVISIONS

14.1 CONTINUING SECURITY

     Subject to Clause 15 (Discharge of Security), the Charges are continuing
     Security and will extend to the ultimate balance of the Liabilities,
     regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

14.2 REINSTATEMENT

     If any payment by a Chargor or any discharge given by a Secured Party
     (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for
     those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of
     insolvency or any similar event:

     (a)       the liability of each Chargor and the Charges shall continue as
               if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not
               occurred; and

     (b)       each Secured Party shall be entitled to recover the value or
               amount of that security or payment from each Chargor, as if the
               payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

14.3 WAIVER OF DEFENCES

     Neither the obligations of each Chargor under this Deed nor the Charges
     will be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this
     Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under any
     Finance Document of any of the Charges (without limitation and whether or
     not known to it or any Secured Party) including:

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

     (b)       the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the

               of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce any
               rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other
               person or 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;

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

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

     (f)       any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation
               of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or
               security; or

     (g)       any insolvency or similar proceedings; or

               insolvency, liquidation or dissolution proceedings or from any
               law, regulation or order.

14.4 IMMEDIATE RECOURSE

     Each Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured
     Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce
     any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before
     claiming from that Chargor under this Deed. This waiver applies
     irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the
     contrary.

14.5 APPROPRIATIONS

     Until all the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and all
     facilities which might give rise to Liabilities have terminated, each
     Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

     (a)       refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or
               rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or
               agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and
               enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether
               against those amounts or otherwise) and no Chargor shall be
               entitled to the benefit of the same; and

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

14.6 DEFERRAL OF CHARGORS' RIGHTS

     Until all the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and all
     facilities which might give rise to Liabilities have terminated and unless
     the Security Agent otherwise directs, no Chargor will exercise any rights
     which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under
     the Finance Documents:

     (a)       to be indemnified by an Obligor;

     (b)       to claim any contribution from any other Chargor or any other
               guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance
               Documents; and/or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>


     (c)       to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of
               subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties
               under the Finance Documents or of any guarantee or other security
               taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents
               by any Secured Party.

     The Charges are in addition to and are not in any way prejudiced by any
     other guarantees or security now or subsequently held by any Secured Party.

14.8 TACKING

     Each Secured Party shall comply with its obligations under the Finance
     Documents (including any obligation to make further advances).

15.  DISCHARGE OF SECURITY

15.1 FINAL REDEMPTION

     Subject to Clause 15.2 (Retention of security), if the Security Agent is
     satisfied that all the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and
     that all facilities which might give rise to Liabilities have terminated,
     the Security Agent shall at the request and cost of the Chargors release,
     reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Charged Assets from the Charges.

15.2 RETENTION OF SECURITY

     If the Security Agent considers that any amount paid or credited to any
     Secured Party under any Finance Document is capable of being avoided or
     otherwise set aside, that amount shall not be considered to have been paid
     for the purposes of determining whether all the Liabilities have been
     irrevocably paid.

15.3 CONSOLIDATION

     Section 93 of the LPA shall not apply to the Charges.

16.  ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES

16.1 EXPENSES

     Security Agent the amount of all costs, losses, liabilities and expenses
     (including legal fees) incurred by any Secured Party, any Receiver or any

     protection, realisation, enforcement or preservation of any rights under or
     in connection with this Deed, or any consideration by the Security Agent as

     referred to in this Deed).

17.  PAYMENTS

17.1 DEMANDS

     Any demand for payment made by any Secured Party shall be valid and
     effective even if it contains no statement of the relevant Liabilities or
     an inaccurate or incomplete statement of them.

17.2 PAYMENTS

     All payments by any Chargor under this Deed (including damages for its
     breach) shall be made in the Currency of Account and to such account, with
     such financial institution and in such other manner as the Security Agent
     may direct.

17.3 CONTINUATION OF ACCOUNTS

     At any time after:

               otherwise) of any subsequent Security affecting the Charged
               Assets of any Chargor; or

     (b)       the presentation of a petition or the passing of a resolution in
               relation to the winding-up of any Chargor,

     any Secured Party may open a new account in the name of that Chargor with
     that Secured Party (whether or not it permits any existing account to
     continue). If that Secured Party does not open such a new account, it shall
     nevertheless be treated as if it had done so when the relevant event
     occurred. No moneys paid into any account, whether new or continuing, after
     that event shall discharge or reduce the amount recoverable pursuant to any
     Finance Document to which that Chargor is party.

     The liability of each Chargor under this Deed shall be joint and several.
     Each agreement and undertaking of any Chargor shall be construed
     accordingly.

18.  RIGHTS, WAIVERS AND DETERMINATIONS

18.1 AMBIGUITY

     Where there is any ambiguity or conflict between the rights conferred by
     law and those conferred by or pursuant to any Finance Document, the terms
     of that Finance Document shall prevail.

18.2 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

     No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any
     Secured Party, Receiver or Delegate, any right or remedy under any Finance
     Document shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial
     exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or
     the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided
     in the Finance Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
     remedies provided by law, including the right to appoint an Administrator
     under the Insolvency Act.

18.3 DETERMINATIONS

     Any certification or determination by any Secured Party or any Receiver or

     The Security created by each Chargor by or in connection with any Finance
     Document is separate from and independent of the Security created or

     (c)       the business of any Chargor.

20.2 INDEMNITIES SEPARATE

     Each indemnity in each Finance Document shall:

     (a)       constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other
               obligations in that or any other Finance Document;

     (b)       give rise to a separate and independent cause of action;

     (c)       apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Secured
               Party;

     (d)       continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order,
               claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any
               Liability or any other judgment or order; and

     (e)       apply whether or not any claim under it relates to any matter
