            initially in Sterling) in an amount not exceeding the Tranche B
            Commitments;

      (c)   TRANCHE C FACILITY: A revolving credit facility under which the
            Banks shall, when requested by the Obligors' Agent pursuant to a
            Request, make to the relevant Borrower, Tranche C Advances
            denominated in Sterling or an Optional Currency up
<PAGE>

                                      20

            to an aggregate amount outstanding at any time the Original
            Sterling Amount of which does not exceed the aggregate of the
            Tranche C Commitments; and

      (d)   ANCILLARY FACILITIES:  Ancillary facilities under which each
            Ancillary Bank may provide to certain Borrowers:

            (i)    overdraft, cheque drawing and other current account
                   facilities; and/or

            (ii)   forward foreign exchange facilities; and/or

            (iii)  guarantee, bonding, documentary or stand-by letter of
                   credit facilities; and/or

            (iv)   such other facilities or financial accommodation as the
                   Obligors' Agent and the relevant Ancillary Bank may agree,

            in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not exceeding (A)
            its Ancillary Commitment, plus (B) without any obligation on any
            Ancillary Bank to make the same available, in respect of non-cash
            advance facilities only an aggregate amount not exceeding
            L3,250,000 outstanding at any time under all Ancillary Facilities.

            If facilities of the type referred to in (B) above are made
            available by any Ancillary Bank, such facilities shall be made so
            available under the documents evidencing the Ancillary
            Facilities.

2.2   LIMITATIONS

(a)   The Tranche A Advance and the Tranche B Advance must be drawn down at
      Closing.

(b)   No Tranche B Advance may be made unless and until the Tranche A Advance
      has been, or is on the same Utilisation Date being, made.

(c)   No Tranche C Utilisation (and no utilisation of any Ancillary Facility)
      may be made until the Tranche A Advance and the Tranche B Advance have
      been, or are on the same Utilisation Date being, made.

(d)   No more than five Tranche C Utilisations may be outstanding at any time.

(e)   No Borrower (other than Getty U.K.) may utilise the Tranche C Facility
      unless it is at the relevant Utilisation Date a subsidiary of Getty U.K.

(f)   The Tranche C Commitment of each Ancillary Bank shall be reduced pro
      tanto by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment but shall automatically
      increase pro tanto upon any amount of its Ancillary Commitment ceasing
      to be available to the relevant Borrowers.

(g)   The aggregate of the Original Sterling Amount of the outstanding
      Tranche C Utilisations and the Sterling Equivalent of the Ancillary
      Outstandings at any time may not exceed the Tranche C Commitments then
      in effect (ignoring for this purpose the effect of Clause 2.2(f)).
<PAGE>

                                      21

(h)   Notwithstanding Clause 2.1(a) above, in the event that the Cash Price
      is less than U.S. $24,000,000, the maximum amount of the Tranche A
      Commitments that may be drawn at Closing shall be reduced to an amount
      equal to the Cash Price.

2.3   NATURE OF A FINANCE PARTY'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

(a)   No Bank is obliged to participate in the making of any Utilisation (i)
      in the case of the Tranche A Advance or a Tranche B Advance, if its
      participation in such Advance would exceed the amount of its Tranche A
      Commitment or Tranche B Commitment, as the case may be, and (ii) in the
      case of a Tranche C Utilisation, if to do so would cause the aggregate
      of its participation in the Tranche C Utilisations outstanding under
      this Agreement to exceed its Tranche C Commitment.

(b)   The obligations of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are
      several. Failure of a Finance Party to carry out those obligations does
      not relieve any other Party of its obligations under the Finance
      Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any
      other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

(c)   The rights of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are divided
      rights. A Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance
      Documents, separately enforce those rights.

(d)   (i)   The obligations of each Bank under this Agreement in respect of
            each Advance to be made available by it under this Agreement may
            be discharged by procuring that an Affiliate (which is itself a
            party to this Agreement) of such Bank lends or otherwise makes
            available to the relevant Borrower in accordance with and subject
            to the terms of this Agreement the amount which such Bank is
            obliged to lend or so make available hereunder.

      (ii)  The provisions of Clauses 10.1 (insofar as any Additional Cost is
            incurred by such Affiliate), 13, 14, 15, 16, 30 and 32 shall
            apply to any such Affiliate of any Bank and to any Advance made
            by any such Affiliate as if such Affiliate were a Bank.

2.4   OBLIGORS' AGENT

(a)   Each Obligor (other than the Parent) irrevocably authorises the Parent
      to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents
      and irrevocably authorises (i) the Parent on its behalf to supply all
      information concerning itself, its financial condition and otherwise to
      the relevant persons contemplated under this Agreement and to give all
      notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Borrower,
      Requests and notices pursuant to Clause 11.1), to execute on its behalf
      any Finance Document and to enter into any agreement in connection with
      the Finance Documents notwithstanding that the same may affect such
      Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of such Obligor,
      and (ii) each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other
      communication to be given to or served on such Obligor pursuant to the
      Finance Documents to the Parent on its behalf, and in each such case
      such Obligor will be bound thereby as though such Obligor itself had
      given such notice and instructions, executed such agreement or received
      any such notice, demand or other communications.

(b)   Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, notice or
      other communication given or made by the Obligors' Agent under this
      Agreement, or in connection
<PAGE>

                                      22

      with this Agreement (whether or not known to any other Obligor and
      whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor
      under this Agreement) shall be binding for all purposes on all other
      Obligors as if the other Obligors had expressly made, given or
      concurred with the same.  In the event of any conflict between any
      notices or other communications of the Obligors' Agent and any other
      Obligor, those of the Obligors' Agent shall prevail.

2.5   CHANGE OF CURRENCY

(a)   If more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time
      recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of
      that country, then:

      (i)   any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations
            arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that
            country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or
            currency unit of that country designated by the Facility Agent;
            and

      (ii)  any translation from one currency or currency unit to another
            shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the
            central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit
            into the other, rounded up or down by the Facility Agent acting
            reasonably.

(b)   If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will be
      amended to the extent the Facility Agent acting in good faith specifies
      to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Banks
      in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in
      if no change in currency had occurred.

2.6   EXTENSION OF TRANCHE C AVAILABILITY PERIOD

      Without prejudice to the duration of the Tranche C Availability Period
      specified in Clause 1.1, the Facility Agent agrees that it shall
      consult with the Parent not less than one month before the expiry of
      the Tranche C Availability Period with a view to arranging terms
      satisfactory to each of the Banks with a Tranche C Commitment and to
      the Parent for an extension to the Tranche C Availability Period. 
      Nothing in this Clause 2.6 shall oblige any Bank to agree to extend the
      Tranche C Availability Period or shall impose any obligation on the
      Facility Agent beyond consultation with the Parent as aforesaid.

3.    PURPOSE

(a)   The proceeds of the Tranche A Advance shall be applied in or towards
      financing payment of the Cash Price payable at Closing under the Merger
      Agreement and any Acquisition Costs.

(b)   The proceeds of the Tranche B Advance shall be applied in or towards
      financing repayment of all amounts due from Getty U.K. or Getty Images
      to Midland Bank plc under the Existing Facilities, and subject to
      repayment in full of all such amounts for the general corporate
      purposes of the U.K. Group.

(c)   The proceeds of the Tranche C Utilisations shall be applied in or
      towards financing the general working capital requirements of members
      of the U.K. Group and/or intercompany loans to other members of the
      Group (provided that the making of such intercompany loan is permitted
      by Clause 21.10 and the borrowing of such intercompany loan is
      permitted by Clause 21.17).
<PAGE>

                                      23

(d)   Each Borrower undertakes that no Utilisation shall be used in any way
      which would be illegal under or cause the invalidity or
      unenforceability of any Finance Document under any applicable law.

(e)   Without affecting the obligations of any Obligor in any way, no Finance
      Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of any Utilisation.

      (f)   MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE: no event or series of events has
            occurred or come to light which in the opinion of the Original

            Group (since 30th September, 1997) (and in the case of Allsport

      (g)   MARKET CHANGE: since the date of this Agreement there has not
            been any material change in the financial markets of the United
            Kingdom or the United States or any material fluctuation in the

            the financial condition of any Obligor which, in the opinion of
            the Original Bank, would make it impracticable to proceed with
            the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or would
            materially and adversely impact upon the ability of any Borrower
            to repay (and pay the interest on) any Advance to be made to it
            hereunder or upon the ability of the Arranger to syndicate the
            Facilities.

                                      25

4.2   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH UTILISATION

      The obligations of the Finance Parties in respect of each Utilisation
      are subject to the further condition precedent that both at the date of
      the Request for such Utilisation and at the Utilisation Date therefor:

      (a)   in respect of each Tranche C Advance requested to be made to a
            Borrower which is matched by a Tranche C Advance of the same (or
            a greater) amount which is repaid by such Borrower under Clause
            8.3 on the proposed Utilisation Date for such Advance (a
            "ROLLOVER UTILISATION"), no Event of Default has occurred and is
            continuing or would result from the making of such Rollover
            Utilisation which has not been waived;

      (b)   in respect of each Utilisation (other than a Rollover
            Utilisation) the representations and warranties in Clause 20 to
            be repeated on those dates in accordance with Clause 20.2 are
            correct and will be correct immediately after the Utilisation is
            made and no Default has occurred and is continuing or would
            result from the making of such Utilisation which has not been
            waived.

5.    DRAWDOWN

5.1   RECEIPT OF REQUESTS

      A Borrower may make a Utilisation if the Facility Agent receives from
      the Obligors' Agent, not later than 11.00 a.m. three Business Days
      before the proposed Utilisation Date (or, in respect of Utilisations to
      be made at Closing, by such later time as the Facility Agent may
      agree), a Request complying with Clause 5.2.

5.2   COMPLETION OF REQUESTS

      Each Request will specify the name of the relevant Borrower and:

      (a)   the Utilisation Date, being a Business Day in the relevant
            Availability Period;

      (b)   whether the Utilisation is the Tranche A Advance, the Tranche B
            Advance or a Tranche C Utilisation;

      (c)   the amount of the Utilisation being, (I) in the case of the
            Tranche A Advance an amount less than or equal to the aggregate
            amount of the Tranche A Commitments, (II) in the case of the
            Tranche B Advance an amount less than or equal to the aggregate
            amount of the Tranche B Commitments and (III) in the case of a
            Tranche C Utilisation, an Original Sterling Amount not less than
            L1,000,000 and if more an integral multiple of L500,000 (or
            equivalent) or the then Available Facility Amount, provided
            always that no Requested Amount for a Tranche C Utilisation may
            exceed the then Available Facility Amount;

      (d)   the duration of its (or its first) Interest Period;

      (e)   the currency of the Advance requested (being Dollars in the case
            of the Tranche A Advance, Sterling in the case of a Tranche B
            Advance made on the Closing Date and an Optional Currency or
            Sterling in the case of a Tranche C Advance);
<PAGE>

                                      26

      (f)   payment instructions (being, in the case of a Tranche A Advance
            instructions to pay to the Closing Accounts and in the case of a
            Tranche B Advance, instructions to pay Midland Bank plc).

      The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the details of
      the requested Utilisation and, in the case of an Advance, the currency
      and amount of its participation in such Advance.

5.3   AMOUNT OF EACH BANK'S PARTICIPATION IN ADVANCE

      The amount of a Bank's participation in any Advance will be the
      proportion of the Advance which its Commitment bearing the same
      designation bears to the aggregate of the Banks' Commitments bearing
      such designation on the date of receipt of the relevant Request.

5.4   PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS

      Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Bank shall make its
      participation in each Advance available to the Facility Agent for the
      relevant Borrower on the relevant Utilisation Date.

6.    DENOMINATION OF TRANCHE B ADVANCES

6.1   SELECTION

(a)   The Obligors' Agent may select the currency of a Tranche B Advance for
      an Interest Period in either the relevant Request or, if such Advance
      is outstanding, a notice received by the Bank not later than 11.00 a.m.
      on the third Business Day before the commencement of that Interest
      Period. In the latter case, the Obligors' Agent may specify whether
      that Loan is to be denominated in more than one currency, and, if so,
      the amount in Sterling of each such currency (being an Original
      Sterling Amount of a minimum of L1,000,000 or the balance of the
      Tranche B Advance, as the case may be, if more).

(b)   If a Borrower fails to give a notice in respect of an outstanding
      Tranche B Advance in accordance with paragraph (a) above, that Tranche
      B Advance shall remain denominated for its next Interest Period in the
      same currency in which it is then denominated.

(c)   Each part of a Tranche B Advance which is to be denominated in a
      different currency from any other part of that Tranche B Advance shall
      be treated as a separate Tranche B Advance.

6.2   DRAWDOWNS

      The first drawdown under Tranche B shall be made in Sterling.  If a
      Tranche B Advance is to be drawn down in an Optional Currency, the
      amount of that Tranche B Advance will be determined by converting into
      that Optional Currency the Original Sterling Amount of that Tranche B
      Advance on the basis of the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange three
      Business Days before its Utilisation Date.


6.3   CHANGE OF CURRENCY

(a)   If a Tranche B Advance is to be continued during its next Interest
      Period in a different currency (the "NEW CURRENCY") from that in which
      it is currently denominated (the "OLD
<PAGE>

                                      27

      CURRENCY"), such Tranche B Advance shall be repaid by the relevant
      Borrower in full at the end of its current Interest Period in the old
      currency and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall be
      re-advanced by the Banks in the proportions which their respective
      Tranche B Commitments bear to the aggregate Tranche B Commitments
      forthwith in the new currency.

(b)   If the new currency is Sterling, the amount of that Tranche B Advance
      will be the Original Sterling Amount of that Tranche B Advance.

(c)   If the new currency is an Optional Currency, the amount of that Tranche
      B Advance will be determined by converting into the new currency the
      Original Sterling Amount of that Tranche B Advance on the basis of the
      Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange three Business Days before the
      commencement of that Interest Period.

(d)   The Facility Agent is authorised and requested to apply the aggregate
      amount in the new currency advanced to the Facility Agent by the Banks
      as aforesaid in or towards purchasing, for value on that Interest Date,
      an amount in the old currency sufficient to discharge the repayment
      obligation of the relevant Borrower under Clause 6.3(a) and, for value
      on such Interest Date, to apply the amount in the old currency so
      purchased towards the discharge of that obligation.  If the aggregate
      amount in the new currency re-advanced by the Banks as aforesaid
      exceeds the amount in the new currency required to effect that
      purchase, the Facility Agent shall pay the excess to the relevant
      Borrower in the new currency.  If the amount in the old currency
      required to be repaid by the relevant Borrower exceeds the amount in
      the old currency so purchased, the Borrower shall pay the excess to the
      Facility Agent for the Banks participating in such Tranche B Advance in
      the old currency.

(e)   If the Facility Agent determines that it is or will be unable to effect
      any such purchase, it shall so notify the relevant Borrower and the
      provisions of paragraph (d) above shall not apply in relation to the
      repayment and re-advance of the relevant Trance B Advance.  Neither the
      Facility Agent nor any Bank shall incur any liability to any Borrower
      as a result of, nor shall the obligations of any Borrower under this
      Agreement be prejudiced by, the inability of the Facility Agent for any
      reason whatsoever to effect any such purchase.

(f)   The relevant Borrower agrees to indemnify the Facility Agent against
      any loss, expense or other liability incurred in connection with any
      exchange contract entered into by the Facility Agent for any such
      purchase (the certificate of the Facility Agent as to the amount
      thereof to be conclusive in the absence of manifest error).

(g)   All amounts received by the Facility Agent from the Banks shall be held
      and applied by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Banks and shall not
      be advanced or be deemed to be advanced to the relevant Borrower until
      receipt by the Facility Agent of all amounts then due by way of
      repayment as aforesaid.

6.4   SAME OPTIONAL CURRENCY

(a)   If a Tranche B Advance is to be continued during its next Interest
      Period in the same Optional Currency as that in which it is denominated
      during its current Interest Period, there shall be calculated the
      difference between the amount of the Tranche B Advance (in that Optional
      Currency) for the current Interest Period and for the next Interest
      Period. The amount of the Tranche B Advance for the next Interest Period
      will be determined by notionally converting
<PAGE>

                                      28

      into that Optional Currency the Original Sterling Amount of the Tranche
      B Advance on the basis of the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange three
      Business Days before the commencement of that Interest Period.

(b)   At the end of the current Interest Period (but subject always to
      paragraph (c) below):

      (i)   if the amount of the Tranche B Advance for the next Interest
            Period is less than for the preceding Interest Period, Getty U.K.
            shall repay the difference on the last day of the current
            Interest Period; or

      (ii)  if the amount of the Tranche B Advance for the next Interest
            Period is greater, the Banks in the proportion which their
            respective Tranche B Commitments bear to the aggregate Tranche B
            Commitments shall forthwith make available to Getty U.K. the
            difference.

(c)   If the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange for the next Interest Period shows
      an appreciation or depreciation of the Optional Currency against
      Sterling of less than five per cent. (5%) when compared with the
      Original Exchange Rate, no amounts are payable in respect of the
      difference. In this Clause 6 "ORIGINAL EXCHANGE RATE" means the Agent's
      Spot Rate of Exchange used for determining the amount of the Optional
      Currency for the Interest Period which is the later of the following:

      (i)   the Interest Period during which the Tranche B Advance, as the
            case may be, was first denominated in that Optional Currency if
            the Tranche B Advance has since then remained denominated in that
            Optional Currency; and

      (ii)  the most recent Interest Period immediately prior to which a
            difference was required to be paid under this Clause 6.4.

6.5   PREPAYMENTS AND REPAYMENTS

      If a Tranche B Advance is to be repaid or prepaid by reference to an
      Original Sterling Amount, the Optional Currency amount to be repaid or
      prepaid shall be determined by reference to the Agent's Spot Rate of
      Exchange last used for determining the Optional Currency amount of that
      Tranche B Advance under Clause 6 or, if applicable, the Original
      Exchange Rate.

6.6   NOTIFICATION

      The Facility Agent shall notify the Obligors' Agent and the Banks of
      Optional Currency amounts (and the applicable Agent's Spot Rate of
      Exchange) promptly after they are ascertained.

7.    ANCILLARY FACILITIES

7.1   ANCILLARY FACILITY

(a)   The Obligors' Agent may, at any time during the Tranche C Availability
      Period, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent request the
      establishment of an Ancillary Facility by the conversion of a Bank's
      Tranche C Commitment (or part thereof) into an Ancillary
<PAGE>

                                      29

      Commitment with effect from the date (the "ANCILLARY EFFECTIVE DATE")
      specified in such notice.  Any such notice shall specify:

      (i)   the proposed Borrower;

      (ii)  the proposed start date;

      (iii) the proposed Ancillary Bank;

      (iv)  the proposed Ancillary Commitment; and

      (v)   such other details as to the proposed Ancillary Facility as the
            Facility Agent may reasonably require.

(b)   Any Bank so nominated as an Ancillary Bank shall if it agrees to
      provide the proposed Ancillary Facility become an Ancillary Bank from
      the Ancillary Effective Date.

(c)   No Ancillary Bank may demand repayment of or cash cover in respect of
      any Ancillary Outstandings (and any other outstandings owing under or
      in respect of any other facility provided by it to a member or members
      of the Group) or set off (otherwise than for interest netting purposes)
      any Ancillary Outstandings or take any action analogous to any of the
      foregoing until notice has been served under Clause 23.2(b), (c) or (d)
      (if any such notice is required) or the proviso to Clause 23.2 applies
      unless Tranche C Commitments are available and are to be drawn as
      provided below in this paragraph and in paragraph (d) below.  If
      Tranche C Commitments are available to be utilised under this Agreement
      at the time such notice is served (ignoring for these purposes the
      provisions of Clause 4.2) or the proviso to Clause 23.2 applies, as the
      case may be, in an amount equal to the amount so demanded under the
      relevant Ancillary Facility (provided that for these purposes the
      Tranche C Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Bank shall be deemed to
      be increased by the amount, not exceeding the amount of its Ancillary
      Commitment, so demanded) an amount equal to the amount of the Ancillary
      Outstandings so demanded shall be drawn as a Tranche C Advance
      hereunder and shall be used to repay or provide cash cover in respect
      of the amount so demanded under the relevant Ancillary Facility. 

(d)   On and subject to the terms of this Agreement (ignoring for these
      purposes Clause 4.2), each of the Banks shall participate in any such
      Tranche C Advance in such amount as will result, after the making of
      such Tranche C Advance, in the proportion which (i) the aggregate
      amount of its participation in the Tranche C Advances then outstanding
      bears to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Tranche C Utilisations then
      outstanding, being equal to the proportion which (iii) its Tranche C
      Commitment bears to (iv) the aggregate of the Tranche C Commitments.

(e)   The Ancillary Outstandings in respect of any Ancillary Facility shall
      not at any time exceed the Ancillary Commitment relative to such
      Ancillary Facility.  All Ancillary Outstandings shall be repaid in full
      (together with all accrued interest and any other costs and expenses
      due under the terms of such Ancillary Facility) on the last day of the
      Tranche C Availability Period (and on such date the Ancillary
      Commitments shall be cancelled).  An Ancillary Bank may, without
      liability, return cheques and other payment instruments unpaid if the
      payment of such cheques would result in a breach of this Clause 7.1(e).

                                      30

7.2   OPERATION OF ANCILLARY FACILITIES

(a)   The rate of interest, fees, charges and other remuneration in respect
      of each Ancillary Facility shall be determined by agreement between the
      relevant Ancillary Bank and the Borrower concerned and in default of
      agreement shall be based upon the normal market rates and terms from
      time to time of the relevant Ancillary Bank.

(b)   In the case of inconsistency between the terms of an Ancillary Facility
      and of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

(c)   A copy of any terms governing the operation of any Ancillary Facility
      and any other information relating to the operation of any Ancillary
      Facility (including the level of Ancillary Outstandings) shall on
      request by the Facility Agent be provided by the Ancillary Bank and/or
      the Obligors' Agent to the Facility Agent.

8.    REPAYMENT

8.1   TRANCHE A FACILITY

      The Parent shall repay the Tranche A Advance (subject to the
      application of Clause 9) in full in instalments on the Repayment Dates
      specified below and on the Final Repayment Date.  The amount (a
      "TRANCHE A REPAYMENT INSTALMENT") of the Tranche A Advance to be repaid
      by the Parent on each Repayment Date shall be the amount representing
      the percentage of the amount of the Tranche A Advance made at Closing
      set out below opposite that Repayment Date.

      Amount of the Tranche B Advance to be repaid by Getty U.K. on each
      Repayment Date (a "TRANCHE B REPAYMENT INSTALMENT") shall be a Sterling
      amount equal as nearly as possible to the percentage of the amount of
      the Original Sterling Amount of the Tranche B Advance made at Closing
      set out below opposite that Repayment Date.

</TABLE>

      Any amount of the Tranche B Advance outstanding on the Final Repayment
      Date shall be repaid in full on the Final Repayment Date.

(b)   Each repayment of any principal of any Tranche B Advance pursuant to
      this Clause 8.2 shall be made in the currency in which such Tranche B
      Advance has been denominated during the Interest Period ending on the
      relevant Repayment Date and the amount to be repaid (if denominated in
      any Optional Currency) shall be calculated on the basis of the Agent's
      Spot Rate of Exchange relative to the Interest Period (or, where Clause
      6.4(c) is in operation, relative to the first Interest Period in the
      series of consecutive Interest Periods during which the Advance has
      remained denominated, by reason of that Clause at the same amount,
      ignoring repayments and prepayments, in the Optional Currency in
      question).

8.3   TRANCHE C ADVANCES

(a)   Each Borrower shall repay the full amount of each Tranche C Advance
      made to it on the Interest Date relating to that Advance.  Any Tranche
      C Utilisation then outstanding shall be repaid in full on the last day
      of the Tranche C Availability Period.

(b)   Without prejudice to each Borrower's obligations to repay the full
      amount of each Tranche C Advance made to it on the due date, on the
      date of any Rollover Utilisation made by any Borrower the amount to be
      repaid and the amount to be drawn down by such Borrower shall be netted
      off against each other so that the amount of cash which such Borrower
      is actually required to repay or, as the case may be, the amount of
      cash which the Banks are actually required to advance to such Borrower,
      shall be the net amount.

9.    PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

9.1   AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION OF THE TOTAL COMMITMENTS

(a)   Any part of the Tranche A Commitments not borrowed hereunder before the
      earlier of the expiry of the Tranche A Availability Period and the
      Closing Date shall be automatically cancelled at close of business on
      such earlier date.

(b)   Any part of the Tranche B Commitments not borrowed hereunder before the
      earlier of the expiry of the Tranche B Availability Period and the
      Closing Date shall be automatically cancelled at close of business on
      such earlier date.

(c)   The Tranche C Commitments shall be automatically cancelled at close of
      business on the last day of the Tranche C Availability Period as from
      time to time in force.

9.2   VOLUNTARY CANCELLATION

      Getty U.K. may, by giving not less than 10 Business Days' prior notice
      to the Facility Agent, cancel the unutilised portion of the Tranche C
      Commitments in whole or in part (but, if in part, in an integral
      multiple of L500,000) without incurring any penalty or other cost, but
<PAGE>

                                      32

      subject to providing to the Facility Agent evidence satisfactory to the
      Majority Banks that notwithstanding such cancellation the U.K. Group
      will have sufficient working capital facilities available to it to
      enable the businesses of the U.K. Group members to be operated in such
      a way as to enable those Obligors who are members of the U.K. Group to
      repay all their outstandings under the Finance Documents on or before
      the due date.  Any cancellation in part shall be applied against the
      Tranche C Commitment of each Bank pro rata.

9.3   VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT

      Subject to this Clause 9.3, on giving at least 10 Business Days' prior
      written notice to the Facility Agent, specifying the Utilisation and
      amount to be prepaid, any Borrower may prepay any Utilisation made by
      it in whole or in part on the date and in the amount so specified. 
      Such prepayment of a Utilisation (if in part) shall be of an amount
      which is (a) in the case of Tranche A Advances not less than U.S.
      $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of U.S. $500,000 if more or (b) (in
      the case of Tranche B and Tranche C Utilisations, an amount whose
      Original Sterling Amount is not less than L750,000 and an integral
      multiple of L250,000 if more. 

9.4   RIGHT OF PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

      If any Borrower is required to pay any amount to a Bank or to the
      Facility Agent for the account of such Bank under Clauses 13, 14 or 15
      the Obligors' Agent may, whilst the circumstances giving rise to the
      requirement continue, serve a notice of prepayment and cancellation on
      that Bank through the Facility Agent. On the date falling 10 Business
      Days after the date of service of the notice:

      (a)   each Borrower shall prepay that Bank's participation in any
            Utilisation made to it together with all other amounts payable by
            it to that Bank under this Agreement; and

      (b)   such Bank's Tranche A Commitment, Tranche B Commitment and Tranche
            C Commitment shall be cancelled.

9.5   ADJUSTMENT OF REPAYMENT INSTALMENTS

      Each prepayment of the Tranche A Advance and the Tranche B Advance made
      pursuant to Clause 9.3 shall be applied against future Repayment
      Instalments relative thereto determined pursuant to Clauses 8.1 and 8.2
      pro rata.

9.6   PREPAYMENT FEE

(a)   If any Utilisation is prepaid pursuant to Clause 9.3 from the proceeds
      of monies borrowed or raised from a bank, trust, fund or other
      financial institution (not being money raised by a public debt issue or
      the proceeds of an equity issue not prohibited by the terms hereof)
      otherwise than under the Finance Documents then such prepayment may
      only be made if, in addition to all other sums required to be paid
      under this Agreement with such prepayment, there is paid by the Parent
      to the Facility Agent (for the account of the Banks) on or before the
      date for such prepayment (and, if not already paid, there shall be due
      and payable on such date) a prepayment premium calculated in an amount
      of one quarter of one per cent. (0.25%) of the principal amount to be
      so prepaid.
<PAGE>

                                      33

(b)   Any such prepayment premium received by the Facility Agent shall be
      distributed by the Facility Agent to the Banks pro rata in the proportions
      which each Bank's Commitment being the same designation as the Utilisation
      prepaid bears to the aggregate of all the Commitments of the Banks so
      designated at the date of such prepayment.
     
9.7   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(a)   Any notice of prepayment and/or cancellation under this Agreement is
      irrevocable. The Facility Agent shall notify the Banks promptly of receipt
      of any such notice.

(b)   All prepayments under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued
      interest on the amount prepaid.

(c)   No prepayment of any Utilisation or cancellation of any Commitment is
      permitted except in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement.
     
(d)   No amount of the Tranche A Advance or Tranche B Advance repaid or prepaid
      under this Agreement may subsequently be re-borrowed.  No amount of the
      Total Commitments cancelled under this Agreement may subsequently be
      reinstated.
     
10.   INTEREST

10.1  INTEREST RATE

      The rate of interest on each Advance for each Interest Period relative
      thereto is the rate per annum determined by the Facility Agent to be the
      aggregate of:

      (a)   the applicable Margin;
     
      (b)   the applicable LIBOR; and
     
      (c)   the Additional Cost (if any) relative to such Advance from time to
            time during such Interest Period.
     
10.2  DUE DATES

      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, accrued interest on
      each Advance for each Interest Period relative thereto shall be paid by
      the relevant Borrower on the Interest Date relating to such Interest
      Period and also, in the case of an Advance with an Interest Period of
      longer than 6 months, on the last day of each consecutive period of 6
      months from the first day of such Interest Period.

10.3  DEFAULT INTEREST

(a)   If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement,
      it shall forthwith on demand by the Facility Agent from time to time pay
      interest on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual
      payment, as well after as before judgment, at a rate (the "DEFAULT RATE")
      determined by the Facility Agent to be two per cent. (2%) per annum above
      the rate of interest which would have been payable if the overdue amount
      had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Tranche C Advance for
      successive Interest Periods of such duration as the Facility Agent may
      determine (each a "DESIGNATED PERIOD").
<PAGE>

                                      34

(b)   The Default Rate will be determined on each Business Day or on the date
      two Business Days prior to the commencement of or on the first day of the
      relevant Designated Period, as the Facility Agent shall determine, and
      Default interest will be compounded at the end of each Designated Period
      if not paid.

(c)   If the Facility Agent determines that Clause 14 would apply if the overdue
      amount were an Advance during the Designated Period, the rate to be used
      pursuant to (a) above will be determined in accordance with Clause 14.
     
10.4  DETERMINATION CONCLUSIVE; NOTIFICATION

      Each determination of a rate of interest by the Facility Agent under this
      Agreement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall
      be promptly notified to the Obligors' Agent by the Facility Agent.

10.5  MARGIN ADJUSTMENT

      If on 31st December, 1998 or any 30th June or 31st December thereafter the
      aggregate of the outstanding Tranche A Utilisations and the equivalent in
      Dollars (calculated at a rate of L1:$1.65) of the outstanding Tranche B
      Utilisations at such date is less than:

      (a)   U.S. $40,000,000; or
     
      (b)   U.S. $20,000,000
     
      then (subject to as mentioned below and subject to there being no
      outstanding Event of Default at such time) the Margin shall be reduced for
      that Tranche A Advance or Tranche B Advance, as the case may be, from such
      Interest Date and for each other Tranche A Advance and Tranche B
      Advance from the first day of each Interest Period for such Advance
      commencing after such Interest Date such that if the test in
      sub-paragraph (a) above is met the Margin shall be one per cent.
      (1.00%) per annum and if the test in sub-paragraph (b) above is met the
      Margin shall be zero point seven five per cent. (0.75%) per annum.
     
11.   INTEREST PERIODS

11.1  SELECTION AND AGREEMENT

      The Obligors' Agent shall give notice to the Facility Agent not later
      than 11.00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the commencement of
      each Interest Period relative to any Advance (or in the Request
      therefor) specifying the duration of such Interest Period, which shall
      be of 1 (in the case of a Tranche C Utilisation only), 3 or 6 months or
      such other duration as may be agreed by the Facility Agent or as may be
      required in order to comply with Clause 11.3 (provided that if such
      duration is over six months the Facility Agent may only agree with the
      unanimous consent of the Banks participating in such Advance). If the
      Obligors' Agent fails to specify the duration of an Interest Period for
      any Advance the duration of that Interest Period shall be three months.
<PAGE>

                                      35

11.2  SPLITTING

      The Obligors' Agent may, in any notice given pursuant to Clause 11.1,
      split a Tranche A Advance and/or a Tranche B Advance into up to 2
      Tranche A Advances or Tranche B Advances, provided that one of such
      Tranche A Advances or Tranche B Advances (as the case may be) shall be in
      an amount at least equal to the Repayment Instalment due to be repaid with
      respect to the relevant Advances on the next Repayment Date (and its
      specified Interest Period shall end on such next Repayment Date). No
      more than 2 Tranche A Advances and 2 Tranche B Advances may be outstanding
      at any time.

11.3  RESTRICTIONS ON SELECTION

(a)   The Obligors' Agent (on behalf of the relevant Borrower) shall select the
      duration of Interest Periods pursuant to Clause 11.1 so as to ensure that
      (i) each Repayment Date will also be an Interest Date in relation to an
      amount of the Tranche A Advances and the Tranche B Advances at least equal
      to the Repayment Instalment (or part of the Repayment Instalment) relative
      to the Tranche A Advances or Tranche B Advances (respectively) due to be
      paid on such Repayment Date, (ii) no Tranche A Advance or Tranche B
      Advance shall have an Interest Period expiring after the Final Repayment
      Date and (iii) no Tranche C Utilisation shall have an Interest Period
      expiring after the end of the Tranche C Availability Period.

(b)   If it appears to the Facility Agent in good faith that the requirements of
      paragraph (a) above, or the requirements of the Arranger for an orderly
      primary syndication of the Facilities, will not be met by the Obligors'
      Agent's selection of any Interest Period, the Facility Agent, on behalf of
      and after consultation to the extent practicable with the Obligors' Agent,
      shall select a different duration for such Interest Period.

11.4  DURATION

      The (or the first) Interest Period relative to each Advance shall commence
      on its Utilisation Date and end on the last day of the period selected
      therefor and any subsequent Interest Period relative to a Tranche A
      Advance or Tranche B Advance shall commence on the expiry of the
      immediately preceding Interest Period relating thereto and end on the last
      day of the period so selected therefor, provided that if any Interest
      Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, such
      Interest Period shall end instead on the next Business Day in the same
      calendar month (if there is one) or on the preceding Business Day (if
      there is not).

11.5  NOTIFICATION

      The Facility Agent will notify the relevant Banks and the Obligors'
      Agent of the duration of each Interest Period relating to an Advance and
      of the rate of interest applicable thereto promptly after ascertaining
      the same (and such duration and rate shall, in the absence of manifest
      error, be conclusive).

12.   PAYMENTS

12.1  FUNDS

      All payments by the Obligors or any of them or by the Banks or any of them
      under the Finance Documents shall be made to the Facility Agent for the

      Facility Agent shall be made in freely transferable
<PAGE>

                                      36

      funds for same day value on the due date at such times and in
      such manner as the Facility Agent may specify to the Party concerned as
      being customary at the time for the settlement of transactions in the
      currency in which the amount concerned is denominated to the account of
      the Facility Agent at such bank or office as the Facility Agent shall
      designate by at least three Business Days' notice to the Party making
      payment.

12.2  DISTRIBUTION

(a)   Each payment received by the Facility Agent under this Agreement for
      another Party shall, subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, be made
      available by the Facility Agent to that Party by payment (on the date
      and in the currency and funds of receipt) to its account with such bank
      as it may notify to the Facility Agent for this purpose by not less
      than 10 Business Days' prior notice.

(b)   The Facility Agent may apply any amount received by it for an Obligor in
      or towards payment of any amount due from an Obligor under this Agreement.

(c)   Where a sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Facility Agent
      for the account of another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to
      pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has
      actually received that sum. The Facility Agent may, at its sole
      discretion, assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance with
      this Agreement and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to
      that Party a corresponding amount. If the sum has not been made
      available but the Facility Agent has paid a corresponding amount to
      another Party, that Party shall forthwith on demand refund the
      corresponding amount to the Facility Agent together with interest on that
      amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt, calculated at a
      rate determined by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.
     
12.3  CURRENCY

(a)   Interest accrued under this Agreement shall be payable in the currency in
      which the relevant amount in respect of which it has accrued was
      denominated during the period of accrual.

(b)   The principal of each Advance shall be repaid or prepaid in the currency
      in which it is denominated.

(c)   Any amount (other than of principal and/or interest) calculated on or by
      reference to or payable in respect of another amount shall be payable in
      the currency in which that other amount is denominated at the time of
      payment.

(d)   Amounts payable in respect of costs, expenses, Taxes and the like are
      payable in the currency in which they are incurred.

(e)   Any other amount payable under this Agreement is, except as otherwise
      provided in this Agreement, payable in Dollars (if payable by a member of
      the Group other than a member of the U.K. Group) or Sterling (if payable
      by a member of the U.K. Group).

12.4  SET-OFF AND COUNTERCLAIM

      All payments to be made by an Obligor under any Finance Document shall be
      made without set-off or counterclaim.

12.5  NON-BUSINESS DAYS

(a)   If a payment under this Agreement is due on a day which is not a Business
      Day, the due date for that payment shall instead be the next Business Day.
     
(b)   During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under
      this Agreement interest is payable on the principal at the rate payable
      on the original due date.
     
12.6  PARTIAL PAYMENTS

(a)   If the Facility Agent receives a payment insufficient to discharge all
      the amounts then due and payable by the Obligors under this Agreement,
      the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of
      the Obligors in the following order:
     
      (i)   FIRST, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid costs, fees
            and expenses of the Facility Agent or the Security Agent under
            the Finance Documents;
     
      (ii)  SECONDLY, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued fees due
            but unpaid under Clause 25.1;
     
      (iii) THIRDLY, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest due
            but unpaid under this Agreement;
     
      (iv)  FOURTHLY, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but
            unpaid under this Agreement; and
     
      (v)   FIFTHLY, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but
            unpaid under this Agreement.
     
(b)   The Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Banks, vary the
      order set out in sub-paragraphs (a)(iii) to (v) above.

(c)   Paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall override any appropriation made by an
      Obligor.

12.7  SECURITY AGENT AS JOINT CREDITOR

(a)   Each of the Obligors and each of the Finance Parties agree that the
      Security Agent shall be the joint creditor (together with the relevant
      Finance Party) of each and every obligation of any Obligor towards each
      of the Finance Parties under this Agreement, and that accordingly the
      Security Agent will have its own independent right to demand
      performance by the relevant Obligor of those obligations.  However, any
      discharge of any such obligation to one of the Security Agent or a
      Finance Party shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding
      obligation owing to the other.

(b)   Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent's rights against any
      Obligor (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of
      the Finance Documents), the Security Agent agrees with each other
      Finance Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out
      in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights as a joint
      creditor with a Finance Party except with the consent of the relevant
      Finance Party.  However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the
      previous sentence shall in any way limit the Security Agent's right to
      act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any
      Security Document as

<PAGE>

                                      38

      contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Security Document
      (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).
     
13.   TAXES

13.1  GROSS-UP

      All payments by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be made
      without any deduction or withholding and free and clear of and without
      deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes except to the
      extent that the Obligor is required by law to make payment subject to
      any Tax.  Save as referred to in Clause 13.3, if any Tax or amounts in
      respect of Tax must be deducted, or any other deductions must be made,
      from any amounts payable or paid by an Obligor, or paid or payable by
      the Facility Agent to a Finance Party, under the Finance Documents, the
      Obligor shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure
      that the relevant Finance Party receives a net amount equal to the full
      amount which it would have received had payment not been made subject
      to Tax.
     
13.2  TAX RECEIPTS

      All Taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld by an Obligor from
      any amounts paid or payable under the Finance Documents shall be paid
      by the relevant Obligor when due and the Obligor shall, within a month
      of the payment being made, deliver to the Facility Agent for the
      relevant Bank evidence satisfactory to that Bank (including all
      relevant tax receipts) that the payment has been duly remitted to the
      appropriate authority.
     
13.3  RECOGNISED BANK

(a)   If, otherwise than as a result of the introduction of, change in, or
      change in the interpretation, administration or application of or
      expiry of, any law or regulation (including, without limitation, any
      double tax treaty) or any practice or concession of any applicable Tax
      authority occurring after the date of this Agreement, a Bank or the
      Facility Agent is not or ceases to be a Recognised Bank, no Obligor
      shall be liable to pay to that Bank or the Facility Agent under Clause
      13.1 any amount in respect of Taxes levied or imposed in excess of the
      amount it would have been obliged to pay if that Bank or the Facility
      Agent was a Recognised Bank.
     
(b)   No Obligor is liable to pay to a Bank or the Facility Agent any amount
      under Clause 13.1 in respect of Taxes (not being withholding taxes)
      imposed on the overall net income or gains of a Bank or the Facility
      Agent by the jurisdiction in which such Bank or the Facility Agent is
      organised or in which its principal office is located or on the overall
      net income or gains of the Bank's Facility Office by the jurisdiction
      in which that Facility Office is located.

(c)   Each Bank and the Facility Agent confirms to each Borrower that it is a
      Recognised Bank with respect to such Borrower at the time it becomes a
      party to this Agreement and shall notify the Parent upon officers of
      such Bank or the Facility Agent involved in administering this
      Agreement becoming aware that it has ceased to be a Recognised Bank.

13.4  TAX SAVING

(a)   If, following the imposition of any Tax on any payment by any Obligor (or
      any corresponding payment by the Facility Agent to any Finance Party
      under any Finance Document) in

<PAGE>

                                      39

      consequence of which such Obligor pays an additional amount under
      Clause 13.1, any Finance Party shall as a result of such payment
      receive or be granted a credit against or remission for or deduction or
      relief from or in respect of any Tax payable by it which in such
      Finance Party's sole opinion (acting in good faith) is both
      identifiable and quantifiable by it without requiring such Finance
      Party or its professional advisers to expend a material amount of time
      or incur a material cost in so identifying or quantifying (any of the
      foregoing, to the extent so identifiable and quantifiable, being
      referred to as a "SAVING"), such Finance Party shall, to the extent
      that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the relevant
      saving and subject to such Obligor's obligation to repay promptly on
      demand by the Finance Party the amount to such Finance Party to the
      extent that the relevant saving is subsequently disallowed or
      cancelled, reimburse such Obligor promptly after receipt of such saving
      by such Finance Party with such amount as such Finance Party shall in
      its sole opinion but in good faith have concluded to be the amount or
      value of the relevant saving.
     
(b)   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall interfere with the right of any
      Finance Party to arrange its Tax and other affairs in whatever manner
      it thinks fit.  No Finance Party shall be required to disclose any
      confidential information relating to the organisation of its affairs.

13.5  DOUBLE TAX TREATY FILINGS

      Each Finance Party shall, and the Parent shall ensure that each
      relevant Borrower (and if a payment falls or is likely to fall to be
      made by it, each Guarantor) shall, file all such forms, make all such
      applications and take all such other action, in each case as it may
      reasonably be able to file, make or take, pursuant to all relevant
      treaties for the avoidance of double taxation in order that payments by
      it hereunder to which such treaties apply (or would apply were such
      filings, applications or other action made or taken) may be made
      without (or, where complete avoidance is not possible, with a reduced
      rate of) withholding tax.  Each Finance Party shall give to each
      relevant Obligor and each relevant Obligor shall give to each Finance
      Party such assistance as the other may reasonably require in connection
      with the completion and filing of such forms, the making of such
      applications and the taking of such other duties as aforesaid.
     
13.6  U.S. TAXATION - DELIVERY OF FORMS AND STATEMENTS

(a)   Each Finance Party which is not a U.S. Person and which is lending to a

      U.S. Obligor which is a Borrower shall deliver (through the Facility
      Agent) to each U.S. Obligor which is a Borrower on or before the first
      Interest Date with respect to the first Advance to such Borrower (or in
      the case of a Finance Party which became a party to this Agreement
      after the date hereof, the first Interest Date with respect to an
      Advance to any such Borrower after such Finance Party became a party
      hereto), duly completed, two copies of such form or forms as may be
      required to indicate that such Finance Party is entitled to receive
      payments under this Agreement without deduction, withholding or payment
      by the U.S. Obligor of any United States federal Taxes, including,
      without limitation, either:

      (i)   two copies of Form 1001 of the Internal Revenue Service of the
            United States of America (relating to an applicable double
            revenue tax treaty concluded by the United States of America); or
     
      (ii)  two copies of Form 4224 of the Internal Revenue Service of the
            United States of America (relating to income effectively
            connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
            States of America).

<PAGE>

                                      40

      Each such Finance Party, subject as otherwise provided in Clause
      13.6(d), shall deliver (through the Facility Agent) to each U.S.
      Obligor additional duly completed copies of any of the above forms
      and/or such additional or successor forms as shall be adopted from time
      to time by the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S.A. if it is notified
      by the U.S. Obligor or the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S.A. that
      any previous such form delivered by it pursuant to this Clause 13.5 has
      expired or that Finance Party becomes aware that any such form shall
      have become incomplete or inaccurate in any respect unless prior to
      that delivery any event occurs which renders the relevant form
      inapplicable.

(b)   Each Finance Party which is a U.S. Person shall deliver (through the
      Facility Agent) to each U.S. Obligor a statement signed by an
      authorised signatory of the Finance Party to the effect that it is a
      U.S. Person and if necessary to avoid United States backup withholding,
      a duly completed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or
      successor form) establishing that such Finance Party is not subject to
      United States backup withholding.

(c)   The Facility Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for and no
      obligation to check the accuracy or appropriateness of any form or
      statement delivered by any Finance Party pursuant to Clause 13.6(a) or
      (b) respectively.

(d)   If any Finance Party determines, as a result of any change in applicable
      law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or
      interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to any U.S. Obligor
      any form or certificate that the Finance Party is obliged to submit
      pursuant to Clause 13.6(a) or 13.6(b), or that such Finance Party is
      required to withdraw or cancel any form or certificate previously
      submitted, the Finance Party shall promptly notify the U.S. Obligor of
      that fact.

14.   MARKET DISRUPTION

(a)   If, in relation to any Advance:

      (i)   no, or (where there is more than one Reference Bank) only one,
            Reference Bank supplies a rate for the purposes of determining
            the applicable LIBOR or the Facility Agent otherwise determines
            that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
            applicable LIBOR; or
     
      (ii)  the Facility Agent receives notification from Banks whose
            participations in an Advance exceed fifty per cent. (50%) by
            value of that Advance that, in their opinion, by reason of
            circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurocurrency Market:
           
            (A)   matching deposits will not be available to them in the London
                  Interbank Eurocurrency Market in the ordinary course of
                  business in amounts sufficient to fund their participations
                  in that Advance for the relevant Interest Period; or
           
            (B)   the cost to them of such matching deposits in the London
                  Interbank Eurocurrency Market for that Interest Period
                  would be in excess of the applicable LIBOR,
           
      the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Obligors' Agent and the
      Banks of that fact and that this Clause 14 is in operation.

<PAGE>

                                      41

(b)   After any notification under paragraph (a) above:

      (i)   if Clause 14(a)(ii)(A) applies, no further Requests may be
            delivered and no Bank shall be obliged to participate in the
            Advance to which such notification relates, unless such Advance
            is already outstanding, until the Facility Agent notifies the
            Obligors' Agent that the event specified in the notification no
            longer prevails;

      (ii)  if the Obligors' Agent so requires, within 5 Business Days of
            receipt of any such notification, the Obligors' Agent and the
            Facility Agent (on behalf of the Banks) shall, in good faith,
            enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days
            with a view to agreeing a substitute basis (the "SUBSTITUTE
            BASIS") for determining the rate of interest and/or funding
            applicable to any future Advance and to maintaining any existing
            Advances to which such notification relates;

      (iii) any Substitute Basis agreed under sub-paragraph (ii) above shall
            be, with the prior consent of all the Banks, binding on all the
            Parties; and

      (iv)  until and unless a Substitute Basis is so agreed, each Bank's
            participation in each outstanding Advance to which such
            notification related shall bear interest during the current
            Interest Period relative thereto at the rate certified by such
            Bank to be its cost of funds (from such source as it may
            reasonably select) for such Interest Period in relation to such
            Advance, plus the applicable Margin.

(c)   The Facility Agent, in consultation with the Obligors' Agent shall, not
      less often than monthly, review whether or not the circumstances
      referred to in Clause 14(a) still prevail with a view to returning to
      the normal interest provisions of this Agreement.

15.   INCREASED COSTS

15.1  INCREASED COSTS

(a)   Subject to Clause 15.2 (Exceptions), the Parent shall forthwith on
      demand by a Finance Party pay or procure that Getty U.K. shall pay that
      Finance Party the amount of any increased cost incurred by it (or any
      Holding Company of it) as a result of any introduction of or change in
      or change in the interpretation, administration or application of any
      law, directive or official regulation (including any law or regulation
      relating to taxation, change in currency of a country or reserve asset,
      special deposit, cash ratio, liquidity or capital adequacy requirements
      or any other form of banking or monetary control) whether or not having
      the force of law but, if not, being a directive or official regulation
      with which it is the practice of banks in the relevant jurisdiction to
      comply or compliance by any Finance Party (or any Holding Company of
      such Finance Party) with any such introduction or change.

(b)   In this Agreement "INCREASED COST" means:
     
      (i)   an additional cost incurred by a Finance Party (or any Holding
            Company of it) as a result of it having entered into, or
            performing, maintaining or funding its obligations under, any
            Finance Document; or

<PAGE>

                                      42

      (ii)  that portion of an additional cost incurred by a Finance Party (or
            any Holding Company of it) in making, funding or maintaining all
            or any advances, letters of credit or guarantees comprised in a
            class of advances, letters of credit or guarantees formed by or
            including the participations in the Advances made or to be made
            under this Agreement which is attributable to it making, funding
            or maintaining those participations; or

      (iii) a reduction in any amount payable to a Finance Party (or any
            Holding Company of it) or the effective return to a Finance Party
            (or any Holding Company of it) under any Finance Document or on
            its (or such Holding Company's) capital; or

      (iv)  the amount of any payment made by a Finance Party  (or any Holding
            Company of it), or the amount of interest or other return
            foregone by a Finance Party  (or any Holding Company of it),
            calculated by reference to any amount received or receivable by a
            Finance Party from any other Party under this Agreement.

(c)   The relevant Finance Party shall notify the Parent as promptly as
      reasonably practicable upon it becoming aware of circumstances giving
      rise to the right of such Finance Party to receive payments as referred
      to in this Clause 15.1, giving reasonable details of the likely
      calculation of such increased cost and basis on which it is
      attributable to the Facility, provided that such Finance Party shall
      not be required to divulge information of a confidential nature with
      respect to its business.

15.2  EXCEPTIONS

      Clause 15.1 does not apply to any increased cost:

      (a)   compensated for by the operation of Clause 13 (or which would
            have been so compensated for but for the operation of Clause
            13.3(a)), Clause 10.1(c) or Clause 15.3; or
     
      (b)   attributable to any change in the rate of tax on the overall net
            income or gains of a Bank imposed in the jurisdiction in which
            its principal office is located or on the overall net income or
            gains of the Bank's Facility Office by the jurisdiction in which
            that Facility Office is located; or

      (c)   attributable to such Finance Party after the date of this Agreement
            entering into a commitment to lend to a third party which is, at
            the time that commitment is entered into, in breach of any law,
            regulation, treaty, directive or request. 

15.3  REGULATION D COMPENSATION

      Unless such additional interest is paid in accordance with Clause
      10.1(c), any Bank which is required by Regulation D issued by the Board
      of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the U.S.A. to maintain
      and does maintain any reserves against "EUROCURRENCY LIABILITIES" (as
      defined in such Regulation) pursuant to such Regulation may require any
      U.S. Obligor to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on
      any Advance (in respect of which the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage
      applies) made to such U.S. Obligor for any Interest Period relative
      thereto, additional interest on the participation of such Bank in that
      Advance at the rate per annum determined from the formula (A)(i) LIBOR
      applicable to such Advance for

<PAGE>

                                      43

      that Interest Period divided by (ii) one MINUS the Euro-Dollar Reserve
      Percentage MINUS (B) LIBOR applicable to such Advance for that Interest
      Period.  Any Bank requiring payment by any U.S. Obligor of such
      additional interest shall notify such U.S. Obligor and the Facility
      Agent at least five Business Days prior to the last day of each
      Interest Period for each relevant Advance of the amount due to be paid
      to it with respect to such Advance pursuant to this Clause 15.3
      (certifying in that notice that the amount claimed does not exceed such
      part of the cost to such Bank of maintaining such reserves as in the
      opinion of that Bank should fairly and reasonably be apportioned to
      such Advance), which notice shall be final and binding in the absence
      of manifest error.  No Bank shall be required to disclose in support of
      any claim hereunder any information reasonably regarded by such Bank as
      being confidential.

16.   ILLEGALITY

      If it becomes (or any change in the interpretation, administration or
      application of any law makes it apparent that it is) unlawful in any
      applicable jurisdiction or contrary to any applicable official
      regulation (if not having the force of law, being one which it is the
      practice of banks, trusts, funds or financial institutions in the
      relevant jurisdiction to comply), for a Finance Party to give effect to
      any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or
      maintain its participation in any Utilisation then:

      (a)   the Finance Party may notify the Obligors' Agent through the
            Facility Agent accordingly; and

      (b)   (i)   each Borrower shall forthwith or by such later date as is
                  immediately prior to the illegality taking effect prepay
                  that Finance Party's participation in all Utilisations made
                  to it together with all other amounts payable by it to that
                  Finance Party under this Agreement; and

            (ii)  such Finance Party's Commitments shall be cancelled and the
                  obligations of the Finance Party to the Borrowers hereunder
                  shall cease.

17.   MITIGATION

17.1  MITIGATION

      If Clauses 13, 14, 15 or 16 operate in relation to any Finance Party to
      the detriment of any Borrower:

      (a)   such Finance Party shall, upon the request of the Obligors' Agent,
            enter into discussions with the Obligors' Agent with a view to
            determining what mitigating action might be taken by such Finance
            Party; and

      (b)   at the request of the Obligors' Agent, the Facility Agent will
            enter into discussions with the Obligors' Agent with a view to
            determining what mitigating action might be taken by the Facility
            Agent with respect to the administration of this Agreement by the
            Facility Agent;

      PROVIDED THAT nothing in this Clause shall oblige any Finance Party to
      incur any material costs or expenses or to take any action or refrain
      from taking any action other than entering into such discussions in
      good faith.

<PAGE>

                                      44

17.2  REPLACEMENT OF BANK

      If such circumstances as are referred to in Clause 17.1 shall arise, the
      Facility Agent, at the request of the Obligors' Agent, will consult
      with the Obligors' Agent with a view to identifying and approaching
      bank(s), trust(s), fund(s) and financial institution(s) acceptable to
      the Obligors' Agent who may be willing to become party to this
      Agreement as Bank(s) in replacement for the relevant Bank(s).

17.3  COSTS AND EXPENSES

      Any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by any Finance Party pursuant
      to this Clause 17 shall be paid by the Obligors' Agent within five
      Business Days after receipt of a demand specifying the same in
      reasonable detail.

18.   GUARANTEE

18.1  GUARANTEE

      Each Guarantor irrevocably, unconditionally, jointly and severally:

      (a)   as principal obligor, and not merely as surety, guarantees to each
            Finance Party prompt performance by each other Obligor of all its
            payment obligations under the Finance Documents;
     
      (b)   undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Borrower does
            not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any
            Finance Document, that Guarantor shall forthwith on demand by the
            Facility Agent pay that amount as if that Guarantor instead of
            the relevant Borrower were expressed to be the principal obligor;
            and

      (c)   indemnifies each Finance Party on demand against any loss or
            liability suffered by such Finance Party if any obligation
            guaranteed by that Guarantor is or becomes unenforceable, invalid
            or illegal.

18.2  CONTINUING GUARANTEE

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

18.3  REINSTATEMENT

(a)   Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor

      or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or
      in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment,
      security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on
      insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability
      of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 shall continue as if the
      discharge or arrangement had not occurred.

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

<PAGE>

                                      45

18.4  WAIVER OF DEFENCES

      The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 will not be
      affected by any act, circumstance, omission, matter or thing which, but
      for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its
      obligations under this Clause 18 or prejudice or diminish those
      obligations in whole or in part, including without limitation (whether
      or not known to it or any other Party):

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

      (b)   the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of,
            or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights
            or remedies 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;

      (c)   any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or lack of powers,
            authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the
            members or status of any Obligor or any other person;

      (d)   any variation (however fundamental and whether or not involving an
            increase in liability of any Obligor) or replacement of a Finance
            Document or any other document or security so that references to
            that Finance Document in this Clause 18 shall include each
            variation or replacement;

      (e)   any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or frustration of any
            obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other
            document or security or any failure of any Obligor or proposed
            Obligor to become bound by the terms of any Finance Document;

      (f)   any postponement, discharge, reduction, non-provability or other
            similar circumstance affecting any obligation of any Obligor
            under a Finance Document resulting from any insolvency,
            liquidation or dissolution proceedings or from any law,
            regulation or order,

      so that each such obligation shall, for the purposes of the Guarantor's
      obligations under this Clause 18, remain in full force and be construed
      as if there were no such act, circumstance, variation, omission, matter
      or thing.

18.5  IMMEDIATE RECOURSE

      Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any
      Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed
      against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from
      or file any proof or claim in any insolvency proceedings of any person
      before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 18.

                                      46

18.6  APPROPRIATIONS

      Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under
      or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
      in full, each Finance 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 Finance 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 Guarantor shall be
            entitled to the benefit of the same; and

      (b)   hold in an interest bearing suspense account any moneys received
            from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability
            under this Clause 18.

18.7  NON-COMPETITION

      Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under
      or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
      in full, no Guarantor shall, after a claim has been made or by virtue
      of any payment or performance by it under this Clause 18:

      (a)   be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or
            receivable by any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its
            behalf) or be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity
            in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of
            that Guarantor's liability under this Clause 18 and, to the
            extent that any Guarantor is so subrogated or entitled by law,
            that Guarantor (to the fullest extent permitted by law) waives
            and agrees not to exercise or claim those rights, security or
            money or that right of contribution or indemnity;
     
      (b)   claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Obligor or its
            estate in competition with any Finance Party (or any trustee or
            agent on its behalf) unless otherwise required by the Facility
            Agent or by law (in which case any proceeds of any claim in
            respect of any rights, security or monies of any Finance Party to
            which such Guarantor was subrogated will be paid by such
            Guarantor to the Facility Agent to be applied in accordance with
            the provisions of the Finance Documents); or
     
      (c)   receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or
            security from or on account of any Obligor, or exercise any right
            of set-off as against any Obligor (and without prejudice to the
            foregoing, each Guarantor shall forthwith pay to the Facility
            Agent for the benefit of the Finance Parties an amount equal to
            any amount so set-off by it).

      Each Guarantor shall hold in trust for and forthwith pay or transfer to
      the Facility Agent for the Finance Parties any payment or distribution
      or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Clause 18.7.
     
18.8  ADDITIONAL SECURITY

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

18.9  LIMITATIONS

      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 18:
     
      (a)   the obligations of each U.S. Obligor in its capacity as a Guarantor
            under this Clause 18 shall be limited to a maximum aggregate
            amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
            obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent
            transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the
            United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of
            comparable state law (collectively, the "FRAUDULENT TRANSFER
            LAWS"), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities
            of such U.S. Obligor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant
            under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding,
            however, any liabilities of such U.S. Obligor in respect of
            intercompany indebtedness to the Borrowers or Affiliates of the
            Borrowers to the extent that such indebtedness would be
            discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such U.S.
            Obligor hereunder) and after giving effect as assets to the value
            (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent
            Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution,
            reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such U.S. Obligor
            pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing
            for an equitable allocation among such U.S. Obligor and other
            Affiliates of the Borrowers of obligations arising under
            guarantees by such parties;

      (b)   No Guarantor which is not incorporated in the United States of
            America shall guarantee the liabilities of the Parent in respect
            of the Tranche A Advance made to the Parent or the liabilities of
            any other Guarantor in respect of such liabilities of the Parent
            and no claim shall be made against any such Guarantor in respect
            thereof.

19.   ADDITIONAL BORROWERS, GUARANTORS AND SECURITY

19.1  ADDITIONAL BORROWERS

(a)   If any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent wishes to become a Borrower,
      it and the Obligors' Agent (for itself and on behalf of the existing
      Borrowers and Guarantors) shall execute and deliver to the Facility
      Agent a duly completed Borrower Accession Agreement.

(b)   If all the Banks confirm to the Facility Agent their agreement to the
      relevant Subsidiary becoming a Borrower (such agreement not to be
      unreasonably withheld in the case of an Obligor), the Facility Agent
      shall execute such Borrower Accession Agreement for itself and on
      behalf of the other Finance Parties.

(c)   Subject to Clause 19.1(d), upon execution of such Borrower Accession
      Agreement by the relevant Subsidiary as Additional Borrower, the
      Obligors' Agent and the Facility Agent as aforesaid, such Subsidiary
      shall become an Additional Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof
      and thereof.  If included in the Borrower Accession Agreement, the
      Additional Borrower's right to make Utilisations hereunder may be
      limited in accordance with the terms so included.

(d)   The obligations of the Finance Parties to such Additional Borrower with
      respect to the making of the first Utilisation to it under this Agreement
      are subject to the condition precedent that the Facility Agent shall have
      received in form and substance satisfactory to it each of the documents
      listed in Schedule 3 Part II and such other reports, opinions and other

<PAGE>

                                      48

      documents relating to such Additional Borrower as the Facility Agent may
      reasonably require.
     
19.2  ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS

            become n Additional Guarantor on the Closing Date;

            other member of the Group, an Additional Guarantor; and

      (iii) subject to any provision of law prohibiting the relevant person
            from becoming an Additional Guarantor, (A) each company becoming
            a Borrower, (B) on incorporating any company pursuant to Clause
            21.16 such company (provided that it is also a Material
            Subsidiary) and (C) if there has, in the opinion of the Majority
            Banks, been a material and adverse change in the business, assets
            or financial condition of an Obligor any member of the Group,
            shall become, as soon as reasonably practicable after being
            required by the Facility Agent on the instructions of the
            Majority Banks to become, an Additional Guarantor,

      in each case by (I) executing and delivering to the Facility Agent a
      Guarantor Accession Agreement (duly executed by the Obligors' Agent for
      itself and on behalf of the existing Borrowers and Guarantors) and (II)
      delivering to the Facility Agent each of the documents listed in
      Schedule 3 Part II and such other reports, opinions and documents (if
      any) as the Facility Agent may reasonably require in respect of the

      Facility Agent.

(b)   Where any such prohibition as is referred to in Clause 19.2(a)(ii) above
      exists, each Obligor shall use its reasonable endeavours lawfully to
      overcome the prohibition.  For the avoidance of doubt the provisions of
      Clause 18.9 shall apply with respect to the obligations of an Additional
      Guarantor as they apply generally to Guarantors.

19.3  ADDITIONAL SECURITY

(a)   Subject always to the limitations set out in Clause 19.3(e), the Obligors

      (iv)  each of Allsport Photographic plc, All-sport (UK) Limited and
            Allsport Photography (U.S.) Inc. shall, at the same time or
            before such companies become Additional Guarantors pursuant to
            Clause 19.2(a)(i), execute and deliver to the Security Agent such
            further or additional Security Documents as the Facility Agent
            may require in substantially the same terms as the Security
            Documents charging similar assets entered into at Closing;

      (v)   on acquiring any asset deemed by the Majority Banks to be of
            material value or material to the operation of the business of
            any member of the Group, the member of the Group acquiring such
            asset shall (if such asset is not, in the opinion of the Security
            Agent, subject to a charge under any existing Security Document)
            execute and deliver to the Security Agent such further or
            additional Security Documents in relation to such assets as the
            Majority Banks may require in substantially the same terms as the
            Security Documents charging similar assets entered into at
            Closing; and
     
      (vi)  if there has, in the reasonable opinion of the Majority Banks,
            been a material and adverse change in the business, assets or
            financial condition of any Obligor, such Obligor shall execute
            and deliver to the Security Agent such further or additional
            Security Documents in such form and in relation to such of its
            assets as the Majority Banks shall require in substantially the
            same terms as the Security Documents (if any) charging similar
            assets in the same jurisdiction at Closing, subject in each case
            to any provisions of law prohibiting such person from entering
            into such Security Documents.

(b)   Subject always to the limitations set out in Clause 19.3(e), the Obligors
      shall procure that any entity which becomes a member of the Group after
      Closing shall, if required by the Security Agent, promptly execute and
      deliver to the Security Agent such Security Documents in substantially
      the same terms as the Security Documents entered into at Closing
      subject to any provision of law prohibiting such person from entering
      into such Security Documents.

(c)   Where any such prohibition as is referred to above exists, the Obligors
      shall use their reasonable endeavours lawfully to overcome the
      prohibition.

(d)   Subject always to the limitations set out in Clause 19.3(e), the Obligors
      shall at their own expense execute and do all such assurances, acts and
      things (i) as the Security Agent may reasonably require for perfecting
      or protecting the security intended to be afforded by the Security
      Documents (and shall deliver to the Security Agent such directors and
      shareholders resolutions, title documents and other documents as the
      Security Agent may reasonably require) or (ii) as the Security Agent
      may require for facilitating the realisation of all or any part of the
      assets which are subject to the Security Documents and the exercise of
      all powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Security Agent or
      in any receiver of all or any part of those assets.

(e)   Notwithstanding the other paragraphs of this Clause 19.3, no Obligor
      which is not incorporated in the United States of America shall charge
      any of its assets in favour of the Security Agent to secure the
      obligations of the Parent (or of any Obligor in respect of the
      obligations of the Parent) with respect to Advances made to the Parent

                  than fair and reasonable) in any material respect in the

                  Intellectual Property Rights of any third party in any

                  Environmental Laws which, in each case, if not obtained or

                  pending or threatened, and there are no past or present

                  the generation, storage, transport, disposal or release of
                  any Dangerous Substance), against any Obligor which if

                  (1)   either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to section
                        502(i)of ERISA or a tax imposed by section 4975 of
                        the IRC;

                  (2)   breach of fiduciary duty liability damages under
                        section 409 of ERISA,

                  which would in any such case have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                      56

            (ii)  No U.S. Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has maintained, or had an
                  obligation to contribute to, or has any liability or
                  potential liability with respect to any Plan that is or was
                  subject to Title IV of ERISA or to the minimum funding
                  requirements of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the
                  IRC.

            (iii) Payment has been made of all amounts which any U.S. Obligor
                  or any ERISA Affiliate is required under the terms of each
                  Plan or applicable law to have paid as contributions to
                  such Plan, except as could not reasonably be expected to
                  have a Material Adverse Effect.

            (iv)  Each U.S. Obligor and each ERISA Affiliate are in compliance
                  in all material respects with the presently applicable
                  provisions of ERISA, the IRC, its terms, and all other
                  applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to each
                  Plan.

            (v)   Neither any U.S. Obligor nor any ERISA Affiliate (nor any
                  trade or business that was an ERISA Affiliate) has at any
                  time contributed to or been obliged to contribute to any
                  Multiemployer Plan which, upon the complete or partial
                  withdrawal of the U.S. Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate from
                  such Plan, could result in the imposition of complete or
                  partial withdrawal liability which would have a Material
                  Adverse Effect.

            (vi)  There are no actions, suits or claims pending (other than
                  routine claims for benefits) against any Plan or the assets
                  of any such Plan, except as could not reasonably be
                  expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (v)   INVESTMENT COMPANY STATUS:  Each U.S. Obligor is either (i) not an
            "investment company" or an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter"
            or "principal underwriter" for an "investment company" in each
            case within the meaning of the United States Investment Company
            Act of 1940, as amended or (ii) is exempt from all provisions of
            such Act, as amended.

      (w)   SOLVENCY OF U.S. OBLIGORS:  At the date of this Agreement, each
            U.S. Obligor is, and immediately after consummation of the
            transactions contemplated to occur under this Agreement and the
            other Transaction Documents and after giving effect to all
            obligations incurred and Encumbrances created by such U.S.
            Obligor in connection herewith and therewith will be, Solvent. 
            No Obligor is entering into this Agreement or the transactions
            contemplated hereby with actual intent to hinder, delay or
            defraud either present or future creditors.  As used in this
            Agreement, "SOLVENT" means, with respect to any U.S. Obligor on a
            particular date, that on such date (i) the fair value of the
            assets of such U.S. Obligor is greater than the total amount of
            liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated and
            contingent liabilities, of such U.S. Obligor, (ii) the amount
            that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such
            U.S. Obligor on its debts as they become absolute and matured
            will not be greater than the fair saleable value of the property
            of such U.S. Obligor at such time, (iii) such U.S. Obligor is
            able to realise upon its assets and pay its debts and other
            liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as they
            mature in the normal course of business, (iv) such U.S. Obligor
            does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
            debts or liabilities beyond such U.S. Obligor's ability to pay as
            such debts and liabilities become absolute and mature, and (v)
            such U.S. Obligor is not

<PAGE>

                                      57

            engaged in a business or a transaction, and is not about to
            engage in a business or a transaction, for which such U.S.
            Obligor's property would constitute unreasonably small capital
            with which to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged. In
            computing the amount of any contingent liability at any time, it
            is intended that such liability will be computed at the amount
            which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at
            such time, represents the amount that might reasonably be
            expected to become an actual or matured liability and taking into
            account the value of rights of contribution, reimbursement and
            subrogation which such U.S. Obligor might reasonably be expected
            to realise in respect thereof.

20.2  TIMES FOR MAKING REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      The representations and warranties set out in Clause 20.1:


      (a)   (i)   in the case of an Obligor which is a Party on the date of
                  this Agreement, are made by that Obligor on that date and
                  on the first Utilisation Date; and

            (ii)  in the case of an Obligor which becomes a Party after the
                  date of this Agreement, will be deemed to be made by that
                  Obligor on the date it executes a Borrower Accession
                  Agreement or Guarantor Accession Agreement; and

      (b)   (with the exception of Clause 20.1(e)(i), (j), (k), (l)(ii), (n),

            repeated by each Obligor on the date of each Request, each
            Utilisation Date and each Interest Date with reference to the
            facts and circumstances then existing.

                  providing details of the same and of any proposed remedial
                  action and stating that no Default is expected to occur

21.5  AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING DATES

      The Parent will ensure that:

      (a)   each annual Accounting Period and each quarterly Accounting
            Period, as the case may be, of the Group ends on an Accounting
            Date;

      (b)   each of its annual Accounting Periods will end on 31st December;
            and

      (c)   all Accounts are prepared in accordance with the Applicable
            Accounting Principles or where any Accounts have been prepared in
            any respect so as to depart materially from the Applicable
            Accounting Principles the Parent shall provide to the Facility
            Agent (in sufficient copies for the Banks) a written explanation
            (and calculations in reasonable detail) prepared or confirmed by
            the Auditors in the case of audited Accounts of the effect of
            such departure on the financial covenants in Clause 22 and the
            definitions referred to therein.  The Facility Agent (acting on
            the instructions of the Majority Banks) may, at the cost of the
            Parent, instruct the Auditors to check any such calculations
            where the Facility Agent has reasonable grounds for believing
            that they may be inaccurate, save that where such calculations
            are determined to be accurate, the costs will be for the account
            of the Facility Agent.  If the Majority Banks approve any such
            departure it shall become part of the Applicable Accounting
            Principles.

23.   DEFAULT

23.1  EVENTS OF DEFAULT

      Each of the events set out in this Clause 23.1 is an Event of Default
      (whether or not caused by any reason whatsoever outside the control of
      any Obligor or any other person):

     
      (a)   NON-PAYMENT: an Obligor does not pay on the due date any amount
            payable by it under any Finance Document at the place and in the
            funds and currency in which it is expressed to be payable unless
            the Facility Agent is satisfied that the failure to pay is due
            solely to technical or administrative delays in the transmission
            of funds and the relevant amount is paid in full within 3
            Business Days of the due date; or
     
      (b)   BREACH OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS: an Obligor does not comply in any
            material respect with any provision of:
     
            (i)   Clauses 21.6, 21.7, 21.8, 21.15, 21.18, 21.19, 21.27 or 22.2;
                  or
           
            (ii)  any Finance Document (other than a provision referred to in
                  paragraphs (a) or (b)(i) above) and, if such default is in
                  the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent capable of
                  remedy within such period, within 21 days after the earlier
                  of the relevant Obligor becoming aware of such default and
                  receipt by the relevant Obligor of written notice from the
                  Facility Agent requiring the failure to be remedied, such
                  Obligor shall have failed to cure such default, provided
                  that such Obligor shall not have any such 21 day remedy
                  period where in the Facility Agent's reasonable opinion it
                  may be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Banks
                  under the Finance Documents to wait to determine whether or
                  not such Obligor would remedy any such failure; or

      (c)   MISREPRESENTATION: a representation, warranty or statement made
            or repeated by or on behalf of any Obligor, in any Finance
            Document or in any certificate or statement delivered by or on
            behalf of any Obligor under any Finance Document, is incorrect in
            any respect which in the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent
            is material when made or deemed to be made or repeated by
            reference to the facts and circumstances then subsisting and, if
            the facts and circumstances causing such misrepresentation are in
            the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent capable of remedy
            within such period,
<PAGE>

                                     80

            within 14 days after the earlier of the relevant Obligor becoming
            aware of such misrepresentation and receipt by such Obligor of
            written notice from the Facility Agent requiring the facts and
            circumstances causing such misrepresentation to be remedied, such
            Obligor shall have failed to remedy such facts and circumstances;
            or

      (d)   CROSS-DEFAULT:

      (i)   any Borrowings of any members of the Group (taken together)
            aggregating U.S.$500,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies)
            or more at any one time outstanding become (or become capable of
            being declared (but only while it remains so capable of being
            declared)) due and payable or due for redemption before their
            normal maturity date or are placed on demand in each such case by
            reason of the occurrence of an event of default (howsoever
            characterised) or any event having the same effect, unless the
            obligation to pay such Borrowings is being contested in good
            faith by the relevant member of the Group by appropriate
            proceedings and an independent legal opinion addressed to the
            relevant member of the Group confirms that such member of the
            Group is likely to be successful in such proceedings; or

      (ii)  any Borrowings of any members of the Group (taken together)
            aggregating U.S.$500,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies)
            or more are not paid when due (whether falling due by demand, at
            scheduled maturity or otherwise) or within any originally
            applicable grace period provided for in the document evidencing
            or constituting those Borrowings, unless the obligation to pay
            such Borrowings is being contested in good faith by the relevant
            member of the Group by appropriate proceedings and an independent
            legal opinion addressed to the relevant member of the Group
            confirms that such member of the Group is likely to be successful
            in such proceedings; or

      (iii) if funds are outstanding in respect thereof, any commitment for
            or underwriting of any facility for Borrowings of any members of
            the Group (taken together) aggregating U.S.$500,000 (or its
            equivalent in other currencies) is cancelled or suspended by the
            provider of that facility by reason of the occurrence of an event
            of default (howsoever characterised); or

      (e)   INVALIDITY:
     
            (i)   any of the Finance Documents ceases to be in full force and
                  effect in any material respect or, subject to the
                  Reservations, ceases to constitute the legal, valid and
                  binding obligation of any Obligor party to it or, in the
                  case of any Security Document, fails to provide legal,
                  valid and enforceable security in favour of the Security
                  Agent and the Banks over the assets over which security is
                  intended to be given by that Security Document, in each
                  case in a manner and to an extent reasonably considered by
                  the Majority Banks to be materially adverse to their
                  interests under the Finance Documents; or
           
            (ii)  it is unlawful for any Obligor to perform any of its
                  obligations under any of the Finance Documents; or

                  insolvent, or admits in writing its inability to pay its
                  debts as they fall due; or

            (ii)  the Parent or any Obligor which is a Material Subsidiary

            (iii) the Parent or an Obligor which is a Material Subsidiary by
                  reason of financial difficulties, begins negotiations with
                  its creditors generally with a view to the readjustment or

                  is a Material Subsidiary, save where the Parent or that
                  Obligor is in good faith contesting such enforcement by
                  appropriate proceedings and the Majority Banks acting
                  reasonably are satisfied that the ability of the Parent or
                  any Obligor which is a Material Subsidiary to comply with
                  its obligations under any Finance Document will not be

      (i)   CREDITORS' PROCESS: any attachment, sequestration, distress or
            execution is made or ordered in respect of any assets of any

                  which is a Material Subsidiary, in any jurisdiction to
                  which it or any of its assets are subject, any event which,
                  in the opinion of the Majority Banks, is analogous to any

            contemplated thereby; or
     
      (q)   ERISA:  any U.S. Obligor or any Subsidiary of a U.S. Obligor or

            risk of incurring a liability, which lien, security interest or
            liability (or the enforcement thereof) is reasonably likely to
            have a Material Adverse Effect; or

                  the relevant Report:

                  its date;

                  of any member of the Group and any forecasts or projections
                  furnished by any member of the Group and contained or referred
                  to in any Report are shown not to have been arrived at after
                  careful consideration or not to have been based on reasonable
                  grounds;
     
            (iv)  any Report omitted any information which would have made any
                  material information, forecasts or projections in such Report
                  misleading in any material respect;
     
            provided that none of the above shall constitute an Event of Default
            if not within the knowledge of any of the Executives or, to the
            extent that the Reports or the factual information, expressions of
            opinion or intention, forecasts or projections concerned do not
            relate to an Obligor or to Material Subsidiaries which are its
            Subsidiaries).
     
23.2  ACCELERATION

      On and at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is
      subsisting the Facility Agent may, and shall if so directed by the

      (c)   declare that all or part of the Advances to some or all of the
            Borrowers be payable on demand, whereupon they shall immediately
            become payable on demand by the Facility Agent (and if any such
            demand is subsequently made those Advances, together with accrued
            interest and all other amounts accrued under this Agreement,
            shall be immediately due and payable); and/or
     
      (d)   declare that all or part of the Advances to some or all of the
            Borrowers, together with accrued interest, and all other amounts
            accrued under this Agreement be immediately due and payable,
            whereupon they shall become immediately due and payable,
     
      provided (I) that no action or determination by any of the Finance
      Parties shall be required in respect of any or all of the obligations
      and liabilities (whether actual or contingent) of any Obligor upon or
      at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
      Clause 23.1(f) to (h) (inclusive) and (j) to (k)(ii) (inclusive) in
      respect of the Parent or any U.S. Obligor which is a Material
      Subsidiary and on the occurrence of any such Event of Default all
<PAGE>

                                     85

      of the obligations and liabilities of the Obligors shall become
      automatically and immediately due and payable and, (II) provided
      further that the Facility Agent (on the instructions of the Majority
      Banks) can by notice to the Obligors rescind any such acceleration in
      whole or in part. 
     
24.   THE AGENTS, THE HEDGING BANK AND THE ARRANGER

24.1  APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES OF THE AGENTS

      Each Finance Party irrevocably appoints each Agent to act as its agent
      under and in connection with the Finance Documents, and irrevocably
      authorises each Agent on its behalf (a) to execute on its behalf such
      of the Finance Documents which are expressed by this Agreement to be
      executed by such Agent on behalf of the Finance Parties, and (b) to
      perform the duties and to exercise the rights, powers and discretions
      that are specifically delegated to it under or in connection with the
      Finance Documents, together with any other incidental rights, powers
      and discretions. Each Agent shall have only those duties which are
      expressly specified in this Agreement. Those duties are solely of a
      mechanical and administrative nature.
     
24.2  ROLE OF THE ARRANGER

      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Arranger has no
      obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in connection with
      any Finance Document.
     
24.3  RELATIONSHIP

      The relationship between each Agent and the other Finance Parties is
      that of agent and principal only. Nothing in this Agreement (other than
      in relation to the Security Agent and the Security Documents)
      constitutes any Agent as trustee or fiduciary for any other Party or
      any other person and except where and to the extent otherwise stated in
      this Agreement such Agent need not hold in trust any moneys paid to it
      for a Party or be liable to account for interest on those moneys.
     
24.4  MAJORITY BANKS' DIRECTIONS

      Each Agent will be fully protected if it acts in accordance with the
      instructions of the Majority Banks in connection with the exercise of
      any right, power or discretion or any matter not expressly provided for
      in the Finance Documents. Any such instructions given by the Majority
      Banks will be binding on all the Banks. In the absence of such
      instructions each Agent may act as it considers to be in the best
      interests of all the Banks.
     
24.5  DELEGATION

      Each Agent may act under the Finance Documents through its personnel
      and agents.
     
24.6  RESPONSIBILITY FOR DOCUMENTATION

      Neither any Agent nor the Arranger is responsible to any other Party for:
     
      (a)   the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency
            of any Finance Document or any other document;
<PAGE>

                                     86
     
      (b)   the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document;
            or
     
      (c)   the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in
            or in connection with any Finance Document (or in any Report or
            information memorandum).
     
24.7  DEFAULT

(a)   Neither Agent is obliged to monitor or enquire as to whether or not a
      Default has occurred. Neither Agent will be deemed to have knowledge of
      the occurrence of a Default. However, if an Agent receives notice from
      a Party referring to this Agreement, describing the Default and stating
      that the event is a Default, it shall promptly notify the Banks.

(b)   Each Agent may require the receipt of security satisfactory to it,
      whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise, against any
      liability or loss which it may incur in taking any proceedings or
      action arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document before
      it commences these proceedings or takes that action.

24.8  EXONERATION

(a)   Without limiting paragraph (b) below, no Agent will be liable to any
      other Party for any action taken or not taken by it under or in
      connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its
      gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(b)   No Party may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or
      agent of any Agent in respect of any claim it might have against such
      Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind (including gross
      negligence or wilful misconduct) by that officer, employee or agent in
      relation to any Finance Document.
     
24.9  RELIANCE

      Each Agent may:
     
      (a)   rely on any notice or document believed by it to be genuine and
            correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the
            proper person;
     
      (b)   rely on any statement made by a director or employee of any
            person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to
            be within his knowledge or within his power to verify; and
     
      (c)   engage, pay for and rely on legal or other professional advisers
            selected by it (including those in such Agent's employment and
            those representing a Party other than such Agent).
     
24.10 CREDIT APPROVAL AND APPRAISAL

      Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information
      supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance
      Document, each Bank confirms that it:
     
      (a)   has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the
            financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related
            entities in connection with its participation
<PAGE>

                                     87

            in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any
            information provided to it by any Agent or the Arranger in
            connection with any Finance Document; and
     
      (b)   will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
            creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities while
            any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents
            or any Commitment is in force.
     
24.11 INFORMATION

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

(b)   The Facility Agent shall, at the cost of the Parent, promptly supply a
      Bank with a copy of each document received by the Facility Agent under
      Clauses 4 (with the exception of the Fee Letters), 19.1(d) or 19.2(a)
      upon the request of that Bank.

(c)   Except where this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, the
      Facility Agent is not obliged to review or check the accuracy or
      completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(d)   Except as provided above, neither any Agent nor the Arranger has any duty:
     
      (i)   either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Bank
            with any credit or other information concerning the financial
            condition or affairs of any Obligor or any related entity of any
            Obligor whether coming into its possession or that of any of its
            related entities before, on or after the date of this Agreement;
            or
     
      (ii)  unless specifically requested to do so by a Bank in accordance with
            this Agreement, to request any certificates or other documents from
            any Obligor.
     
24.12 THE AGENTS AND THE ARRANGER INDIVIDUALLY

(a)   If it is also a Bank, each Agent and the Arranger has the same rights
      and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise
      those rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or the Arranger.

(b)   Each Agent and the Arranger may:
     
      (i)   carry on any business with any Obligor or its related entities;
     
      (ii)  act as agent or trustee for, or in relation to any financing
            involving, any Obligor or its related entities; and
     
      (iii) retain any fees, profits or remuneration in connection with its
            activities under this Agreement or in relation to any of the
            foregoing.
           
24.13 INDEMNITIES

(a)   Without limiting the liability of any Obligor under the Finance
      Documents, each Bank shall forthwith on demand indemnify each Agent for
      its proportion of any liability or loss incurred by such Agent in any
      way relating to or arising out of its acting as the Facility Agent or
      the
<PAGE>

                                     88

      Security Agent, as the case may be, except to the extent that the
      liability or loss arises directly from such Agent's gross negligence or
      wilful misconduct.

(b)   A Bank's proportion of the liability or loss set out in paragraph (a)
      above is the proportion which its participation in the Utilisations (if
      any) bears to all the Utilisations on the date of the demand. If,
      however, there are no Utilisations outstanding on the date of demand,
      then the proportion will be the proportion which its Commitment bears
      to the Total Commitments at the date of demand or, if the Total
      Commitments have been cancelled, bore to the Total Commitments
      immediately before being cancelled.

(c)   The Parent shall forthwith on demand reimburse each Bank for any payment
      made by it under paragraph (a) above.
     
24.14 COMPLIANCE

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

(b)   Without limiting paragraph (a) above, neither Agent need disclose any
      information relating to any Obligor or any of its related entities if
      the disclosure might, in the opinion of such Agent, constitute a breach
      of any law or regulation or any duty of secrecy or confidentiality or
      be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person.

(c)   In acting as Facility Agent and/or Security Agent for the Banks, the
      Facility Agent's and Security Agent's agency division shall be treated
      as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments
      and, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 24, in the
      event that Facility Agent or the Security Agent should act for any
      member of the Group in any capacity in relation to any other matter,
      any information given by such member of the Group to the Facility Agent
      or the Security Agent in such other capacity may be treated as
      confidential by the Facility Agent or the Security Agent (as the case
      may be). 
     
24.15 RESIGNATION

(a)   Notwithstanding Clause 24.1, each Agent may resign (after consultation
      with the Parent) by giving notice to the Banks and the Parent and may
      be removed by the Majority Banks giving notice to such Agent and the
      Parent.  In that event the Majority Banks, after consultation with the
      Parent, may appoint a successor (a "REPLACEMENT") for such Agent which
      shall be a reputable and experienced bank acting and incorporated or
      having a branch in England.

(b)   If the Majority Banks have not, within 30 days after any such notice,
      so appointed a Replacement which shall have accepted such appointment,
      the retiring Agent, after consultation with the Parent, shall have the
      right to appoint a Replacement which shall be a reputable and
      experienced bank incorporated or having a branch in England.

(c)   The resignation of the retiring Agent and the appointment of any
      Replacement shall, subject to Clause 24.15(d), both become effective
      upon the Replacement notifying all the parties hereto in writing that
      it accepts such appointment, whereupon the Replacement shall succeed to
      the position of the retiring Agent and the term "AGENT", "FACILITY
      AGENT" or "SECURITY
<PAGE>

                                     89

      AGENT" in all of the Finance Documents shall include such Replacement
      where appropriate. This Clause 24 shall continue to benefit a retiring
      Agent in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder while
      it was an Agent.
     
(d)   The resignation or removal of a retiring Security Agent shall not
      become effective until the Facility Agent is satisfied that all things
      required to be done in order that the Security Documents or
      replacements therefor shall provide for legal, valid and enforceable
      security in favour of the replacement Security Agent have been done. 
      The Obligors shall take such action as may be necessary in order that
      the Security Documents or replacements therefor shall provide for
      legal, valid and enforceable security in favour of any replacement
      Security Agent.

(e)   The retiring Agent shall make available to the Replacement such
      documents and records as the Replacement may reasonably request for the
      purpose of performing its function as the Facility Agent or Security
      Agent as the case may be.

24.16 SECURITY AGENT AS TRUSTEE

(a)   The Security Agent in its capacity as trustee or otherwise:

      (i)   shall not be liable for any failure, omission, or defect in
            perfecting the security constituted by any Security Document or
            any security created thereby;

      (ii)  may accept without enquiry such title as any Obligor may have to
            the property over which security is intended to be created by any
            Security Document.

(b)   Save where the Security Agent holds a legal mortgage over, or over an
      interest in, real property or shares, the Security Agent in its
      capacity as trustee or otherwise shall not be under any obligation to
      hold any title deeds, Security Documents or any other documents in
      connection with the property charged by any Security Document or any
      other such security in its own possession or to take any steps to
      protect or preserve the same.  The Security Agent may permit the
      relevant Obligor to retain all such title deeds and other documents in
      its possession.

(c)   Save as otherwise provided in the Security Documents, all moneys which
      under the trusts herein or therein contained are received by the
      Security Agent in its capacity as trustee or otherwise may be invested
      in the name of or under the control of the Security Agent in any
      investment for the time being authorised by English law for the
      investment by trustees of trust money or in any other investments which
      may be selected by the Security Agent with the consent of the Majority
      Banks.  Additionally, the same may be placed on deposit in the name of
      or under the control of the Security Agent at such bank or institution
      (including any Agent) and upon such terms as the Security Agent may
      think fit.  Any and all such monies and all interest thereon shall be
      paid over to the Facility Agent forthwith upon demand by the Facility
      Agent.

(d)   Each Finance Party authorises, empowers and directs the Security Agent
      (by itself or by such person(s) as it may nominate) to execute and
      enforce the Security Documents as trustee or as otherwise provided (and
      whether or not expressly in the Finance Parties' names) on its behalf.

24.17 BANKS

(a)   Each Agent may treat each Bank as a Bank, entitled to payments under
      this Agreement and as acting through its Facility Office(s) until it
      has received not less than 5 Business Days' notice from such Bank to
      the contrary prior to the relevant payment.

(b)   Each Bank represents to the Facility Agent that, in the case of a Bank
      which is a Bank on the date of this Agreement, on the date of this
      Agreement and, in the case of a Bank which becomes a Bank after the
      date of this Agreement, on the date it becomes a Bank it is:

      (i)   either:
     
            (A)   not resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax
                  purposes; or
           
            (B)   a "bank" as defined in section 840A of the Income and
                  Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and resident in the United
                  Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purposes; and
           
      (ii)  beneficially entitled to the principal and interest payable by the
            Facility Agent to it under this Agreement,
     
      and shall forthwith notify the Facility Agent if either representation
      ceases to be correct.
     
24.18 UNDERTAKINGS OF THE HEDGING BANK

      The Hedging Bank undertakes to each of the Banks that, except as the
      Majority Banks have previously consented in writing, it will not:

     
      (a)   demand (other than as may be necessary in order to exercise any
            right to terminate or close out any hedging transaction as
            provided in and permitted under paragraph (b) below) or receive
            payment, prepayment or repayment of, or any distribution in
            respect of, or on account of, any of the Hedging Liabilities in
            cash or in kind, or apply any money or property in or towards the
            discharge of any Hedging Liabilities except for scheduled
            payments arising under the original terms of the Hedging
            Documents (without regard to any amendments made after the date
            of those Hedging Documents other than those permitted by the
            terms of this Agreement) and except for the proceeds of
            enforcement of the Security Documents received and applied in the
            order permitted by Clause 12.6;
     
      (b)   exercise any right to terminate or close out any hedging
            transaction under the Hedging Documents prior to its stated
            maturity (whether by reason of the Obligor counterparty becoming
            a Defaulting Party thereunder (and as defined therein) or
            otherwise) unless either:
     
            (i)   such Obligor has defaulted on a payment due under the Hedging
                  Documents after allowing for any required notice and any
                  applicable days of grace and such default continues for more
                  than seven Business Days after notice of such default being
                  given to the Facility Agent; or
<PAGE>

                                     91
           
            (ii)  the Facility Agent has delivered a notice to the Parent
                  pursuant to Clause 23.2(b), (c) or (d);
           
      (c)   discharge all or any part of the Hedging Liabilities by set-off,
            any right of combination of accounts or otherwise except if and
            to the extent that those Hedging Liabilities are permitted to be
            paid under paragraph (a) above; or
     
      (d)   permit to subsist or receive an Encumbrance or any financial
            support (including without limitation to the taking of any
            participation, the giving of any guarantee, indemnity or other
            assurance against loss, or the making of any deposit or payment)
            for, or in respect of, any of the Hedging Liabilities other than
            under the Security Documents or any other Encumbrance or support
            granted for the full benefit (save to the extent otherwise
            required so as to comply with applicable law) of the Banks, and
            except under the original provisions of the Hedging Documents.
     
24.19 TWO WAY PAYMENT

      Each Obligor and the Hedging Bank agree with each other and with Finance
      Parties that:
     
      (a)   any Hedging Document to which they are party governing the terms
            of a hedging transaction will provide for "two way payments" in
            the event of a termination of that hedging transaction entered
            into under that Hedging Document whether upon a termination event
            or an Event of Default (as defined therein), meaning that the
            Defaulting party under (and as defined in) that Hedging Document
            will be entitled to receive payment under the relevant
            termination provisions if the net replacement value of all
            terminated transactions effected under that Hedging Document is
            in its favour;
     
      (b)   if, on termination of any hedging transaction under the Hedging
            Documents, a settlement amount or other amount falls due from the
            Hedging Bank to any Obligor then, if the security constituted by
            the Security Documents has become enforceable, that amount shall
            be paid by such Hedging Bank to the Security Agent and treated as
            proceeds of enforcement of the security conferred by the Security
            Documents for application in the order prescribed in this
            Agreement; and
     
      (c)   unless it has already exercised such rights in accordance with
            Clause 24.18(b), that Hedging Bank will exercise any rights it
            may have to terminate the hedging transactions under the Hedging
            Documents after the Facility Agent has delivered a notice to the
            Parent pursuant to Clause 23.2(b), (c) or (d) unless the Majority
            Banks otherwise agree or require.

24.20 HEDGING DOCUMENTS

      The Hedging Bank will provide to the Facility Agent copies of all
      documents constituting the Hedging Documents as soon as reasonably
      practicable.
     
24.21 ISDA FORM

      The provisions of this Agreement relating to hedging transactions
      assume that all Hedging Documents will be based on prevailing standard
      ISDA Agreements.  If this proves not to be the case, such amendments
      shall be made to such provisions as are necessary, in the light of
<PAGE>

                                     92

      the actual provisions of the Hedging Documents, in order that this
      Agreement may have the same effect in relation to hedging transactions
      as it would have had if such assumption had been correct.

27.   INDEMNITIES

27.1  CURRENCY INDEMNITY

(a)   If any amount payable by any Obligor under or in connection with any
      Finance Document is received by any Finance Party in a currency (the

<PAGE>

                                     94

      Document, then the Obligors shall, as an independent and additional
      obligation, indemnify each Finance Party for the deficiency and any
      loss sustained as a result.

(b)   The indemnities set out in paragraph (a) above shall constitute
      separate and independent obligations of each of the Obligors from their
      other obligations under the Finance Documents and shall apply
      irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Finance Party.  The
      Obligors shall pay the reasonable costs of making any conversion from
      the Payment Currency to the Agreed Currency.

(c)   Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any

      (b)   the operation of Clause 2.5, Clause 23.2 or Clause 33;
     
      (c)   any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or of an
            overdue amount being received otherwise than on its Interest
            Date; or
     
      (d)   (other than by reason of default by a Finance Party) a

            that Utilisation,
     
      including any loss of Margin or other loss or expense on account of
      funds borrowed, contracted for or utilised to fund any amount payable
      under any Finance Document, any amount repaid or prepaid or any Advance
      (provided that the loss or liability recoverable by any Finance Party
      under paragraphs (c) or (d) shall not exceed the amount which such
      Finance Party could claim if it had funded such Advance or overdue
      amount on a matched basis in the London Interbank Eurocurrency Market).
     
27.3  INDEMNITY RELATING TO FACILITIES

      The Parent agrees to indemnify each Finance Party and each of their
      respective directors, officers and employees against any and all
      claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses (including
      legal fees) which may be incurred by or asserted against such Finance
      Party or their respective directors, officers and employees in
      connection with or arising out of any such proceedings, actions or
      enquiry by any regulatory authority of a type referred to in Clause
      23.1(n) (ignoring the provision as to materiality contained therein) or
      any litigation or other proceedings connected with the right to
      transfer the Acquired Assets (or any part thereof), or the shares of
      any member of the Target Group under the Transaction Documents or any
      competing rights to the Acquired Assets (or any part thereof) or to any
      of the Shares, provided that this indemnity shall not extend to any
      claim, damage, liability, cost or expense arising out of such Finance
      Parties' negligence or wilful misconduct or that of their respective
      directors, officers and employees including any breach of any law,
      regulation or official
<PAGE>

                                     95

      of banks in its jurisdiction to comply.

28.   EVIDENCE AND CALCULATIONS

      vary any term of the Finance Documents.  Any such waiver, amendment or
      variation so authorised and effected shall be binding on all the
      Finance Parties and the Facility Agent (or Security Agent as the case
      may be) shall be under no liability in respect of any such waiver,
      amendment or variation.  The Obligors' Agent and the other Obligors
      shall be entitled to rely on any letter agreeing to any such waiver,

      Agent, as the case may be, in their capacity as such, which the
      Obligors may take as confirmation that the Facility Agent or the

      Majority Banks.

(b)   The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Obligors' Agent and the
      other Finance Parties of any waiver, amendment or variation effected
      under paragraph (a) above, and any such waiver, amendment or variation

            Clauses 19.1 or 19.2;
     
      (e)   a term of a Finance Document which expressly requires the consent
            of each Bank;

            (not otherwise provided for in Clause 19 or the relevant Security
            Document) of any material asset charged by any of the Security
            Documents,
     
      may not be effected without the consent of each Bank.
     
29.3  WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

      The rights of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents:
     
      (a)   may be exercised as often as necessary;
     
      (b)   are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general
            law; and
     
      (c)   may be waived only in writing and specifically.
     
      Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of
      that right.
     
30.   CHANGES TO THE PARTIES

30.1  Transfers by Obligors

      No Obligor may assign, transfer, novate or dispose of any of, or any
      interest in, its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement.
     
30.2  Transfers by Banks

(a)   A Bank (the "EXISTING BANK") may at any time with the prior consent of
      the Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld) assign, transfer or novate
      any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to another
      bank, trust, fund or financial institution (the "NEW BANK") which is a
      Recognised Bank.
     
(b)   A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:

      (i)   the obligations are novated in accordance with Clause 30.3
            (Procedure for substitution); or
     
      (ii)  the New Bank confirms to the Facility Agent and the Parent that
            it undertakes to be bound by the terms of the Finance Documents
            as a Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility
            Agent. On the transfer becoming effective in this manner
<PAGE>

                                     97

            the Existing Bank shall be relieved of its obligations under the
            Finance Documents to the extent that they are transferred to the
            New Bank.
     
(c)   Nothing in this Agreement restricts the ability of a Bank to
      sub-participate or sub-contract an obligation if that Bank remains
      liable under this Agreement for that obligation.

(d)   Save where the Existing Bank is an Original Bank, on each occasion an
      Existing Bank assigns, transfers or novates any of its rights and/or
      obligations under this Agreement, the New Bank shall, on the date the
      assignment, transfer and/or novation takes effect, pay to the Facility
      Agent an administration fee of L1,000.

(e)   Neither an Existing Bank nor any other Finance Party is responsible to a
      New Bank for:
     
      (i)   the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency
            of any Finance Document or any other document;
     
      (ii)  the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document
            or the financial condition of or the performance of its
            obligations under the Finance Documents by any Obligor; or
     
      (iii) the accuracy of any statements or information (whether written or
            oral) made in or in connection with or supplied in connection
            with any Finance Document.
     
(f)   Each New Bank confirms to the Existing Bank and the other Finance Parties
      that it:
     
      (i)   has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the
            financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related
            entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and
            has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the
            Existing Bank or any other Finance Party in connection with any
            Finance Document;
     
      (ii)  will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
            creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities while
            any amount is or may be outstanding under this Agreement or any
            Commitment is in force; and
     
      (iii) is a bank, trust, fund or financial institution whose ordinary
            business includes participation in syndicated facilities of this
            type; and
     
      (iv)  is a Recognised Bank with respect to each Borrower. 
     
(g)   Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Bank to:
     
      (i)   accept a re-transfer from a New Bank of any of the rights and/or
            obligations assigned, transferred or novated under this Clause
            30.2 or Clause 30.3; or
     
      (ii)  support any losses incurred by the New Bank by reason of the
            non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under this
            Agreement or otherwise.
<PAGE>

                                     98
     
(h)   Any reference in this Agreement to a Bank includes a New Bank, but
      excludes a Bank if no amount is or may be owed to or by that Bank under
      this Agreement and its Commitment has been cancelled or reduced to nil.

(i)   If any Bank assigns its rights under this Agreement a written
      instrument by which such rights are assigned must be notified to
      Fotogram-Stone Sarl by an HUISSIER (bailiff) in accordance with the
      provisions of Article 1690 of the French Civil Code.

30.3  PROCEDURE FOR SUBSTITUTION

(a)   A novation is effected if after prior consultation with the Parent:
     
      (i)   the Existing Bank and the New Bank deliver to the Facility Agent
            a duly completed certificate executed by the Existing Bank and
            the New Bank, substantially in the form of Part I of Schedule 5
            (a "SUBSTITUTION CERTIFICATE"); and
     
      (ii)  the Facility Agent executes it.
     
(b)   Each Party (other than the Existing Bank and the New Bank) irrevocably
      authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Substitution
      Certificate on its behalf.

(c)   To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the novation
      in the Substitution Certificate:
     
      (i)   the Existing Bank and the other Parties (the "EXISTING PARTIES")
            will be released from their obligations to each other under the
            Finance Documents (the "DISCHARGED OBLIGATIONS");
     
      (ii)  the New Bank and the existing Parties will assume obligations
            towards each other under the Finance Documents which differ from
            the discharged obligations only insofar as they are owed to or
            assumed by the New Bank instead of the Existing Bank;
     
      (iii) the rights of the Existing Bank against the existing Parties
            under the Finance Documents and vice versa (the "DISCHARGED
            RIGHTS") will be cancelled; and
     
      (iv)  the New Bank and the existing Parties will acquire rights against
            each other under the Finance Documents which differ from the
            discharged rights only insofar as they are exercisable by or
            against the New Bank instead of the Existing Bank,
           
      all on the date of execution of the Substitution Certificate by the
      Facility Agent or, if later, the date specified in the Substitution
      Certificate.
           
      The discharged obligations shall not include any obligation under
      Clauses 13 and 15 in respect of payments made prior to the effective
      date of such Substitution Certificate.
     
(d)   Each Obligor and each Finance Party hereby agrees for the future that
      in the event of an assignment or a transfer by any Existing Bank of all
      or part of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to a
      New Bank, the Existing Bank shall expressly preserve all of its
<PAGE>

                                     99

      rights under any security or privilege in relation to the existing
      rights, so that such security or privilege shall be automatically
      transferred to the New Bank.
     
30.4  REFERENCE BANKS

      If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Bank, the Bank of
      which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be one of the Banks, the Facility
      Agent shall (in consultation with the Parent) appoint another Bank or
      an Affiliate of a Bank to replace that Reference Bank.
     
30.5  REGISTER

      The Facility Agent shall keep a record of all the Parties and shall
      supply any other Party (at that Party's expense) with a copy of the
      record on request.
     
30.6  INCREASED COSTS

(a)   Subject as provided in paragraph (b) below, if any assignment, transfer
      or novation of or with respect to all or any part of the rights and/or
      obligations of a Bank under this Agreement pursuant to Clause 30.2 or
      30.3 is made which results (or would but for this Clause result) at the
      time thereof in amounts becoming payable under Clauses 13 or 15.1, then
      the assignee, transferee or New Bank shall be entitled to receive such
      amounts only to the extent that the assignor, transferor or Existing
      Bank would have been so entitled had there been no such assignment,
      transfer, or novation.

(b)   The provisions of paragraph (a) above shall not apply in relation to
      any assignment, transfer or novation of or with respect to the rights
      and/or obligations of the Original Banks, provided that the same is
      effected by the relevant Original Bank within six months from the date
      of this Agreement.

31.   DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

31.1  CONFIDENTIALITY

      Each Finance Party hereby severally undertakes to each Obligor that it
      will keep confidential and that it will not make use of for any
      purposes (otherwise than for the purposes of the Finance Documents and
      otherwise than in the context of an addition to its general experience,
      knowledge or expertise), any of the Transaction Documents or other
      documents relating to this Agreement and all of the information
      distributed on behalf of the Obligors or any of them during syndication
      or contained in, received under or obtained in the course of
      discussions relating to the Transaction Documents and/or the Reports,
      other than any such document or information which has become generally
      available to banks in the London market through no breach by it of this
      Clause, provided that each Finance Party shall be entitled to make
      disclosure of the same:

      (i)   to its auditors, accountants, legal counsel and tax advisers and
            to any other professional advisers appointed to act in connection
            with the administration of the Finance Documents or the
            enforcement of, or realisation of any security provided under,
            any of the Finance Documents;

      (ii)  to any other third party where the relevant Obligor has previously
            agreed in writing that disclosure may be made to that third party;
<PAGE>

                                    100

      (iii) to its Affiliates to the extent required as part of such Finance
            Party's credit control procedures;
     
      (iv)  to any banking or other regulatory or examining authorities
            (whether governmental or otherwise) where such disclosure is
            requested by them;
     
      (v)   pursuant to subpoena or other legal process, or in connection
            with any action, suit or proceeding relating to any of the
            Finance Documents;

      (vi)  pursuant to any law or regulation having the force of law; and

      (vii) to any member of the Group.

      The provisions of this Clause 31.1 shall supersede any undertakings
      with respect to confidentiality previously given by any Finance Party
      in favour of any Obligor.

31.2  SUB-PARTICIPANTS

      Notwithstanding Clause 31.1, a Bank may disclose to one of its
      Affiliates or any person with whom it is proposing to enter, or has
      entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in
      relation to this Agreement:
     
      (i)   a copy of any Finance Document; and
     
      (ii)  any information which that Bank has acquired under or in connection
            with any Finance Document,
     
      provided that any such proposed transferee, participant or assignee has
      agreed with the Parent to keep any such Finance Document or information
      confidential.
     
31.3  PUBLICITY

      The Parent and the Arranger shall agree the form of all press
      announcements issued in respect of the Finance Documents and any
      transaction contemplated thereby.
     
32.   SET-OFF

      Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, a Finance Party may
      set off any obligation due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance
      Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party)
      against any obligation (whether or not due and payable) owed by that
      Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment,
      booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are
      in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either
      obligation, at the cost of such Obligor, at a market rate of exchange
      in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. If
      either obligation is unliquidated or unascertained, the Finance Party
      may set off in an amount estimated by it in good faith to be the amount
      of that obligation.

<PAGE>

                                      101

33.   PRO RATA SHARING

33.1  REDISTRIBUTION

      If any amount owing by an Obligor under this Agreement to a Finance Party
      (the "RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY") is discharged by payment, set-off or any
      other manner other than through the Facility Agent in accordance with
      Clause 12 (a "RECOVERY"), then:

      (a)   the recovering Finance Party shall, within 3 Business Days, notify
            details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

      (b)   the Facility Agent shall determine whether the recovery is in excess
            of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received
            had the recovery been received by the Facility Agent and distributed
            in accordance with Clause 12;

      (c)   subject to Clause 33.3 the recovering Finance Party shall, within 3
            Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility
            Agent an amount (the "REDISTRIBUTION") equal to the excess;

      (d)   the Facility Agent shall treat the redistribution as if it were a
            payment by the Obligor concerned under Clause 12 and shall pay the
            redistribution to the Finance Parties (other than the recovering
            Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 12.6; and

      (e)   after payment of the full redistribution, the recovering Finance
            Party will be subrogated to the portion of the claims paid under
            paragraph (d) above, and that Obligor will owe the recovering
            Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution,
            immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

33.2  REVERSAL OF REDISTRIBUTION

      If:

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

      (b)   the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation
            to that recovery,

      each Finance Party shall, within 3 Business Days of demand by the
      recovering Finance Party through the Facility Agent, reimburse the
      recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the
      redistribution paid to that Finance Party. Thereupon the subrogation in
      Clause 33.1(e) will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

33.3  EXCEPTION

      A recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the
      Facility Agent (i) to the extent that it would not, after the payment,
      have a valid claim against the Obligor concerned in the amount of the
      redistribution pursuant to Clause 33.1(e) or (ii) where the recovering
      Finance Party made the recovery as a consequence of a judgment in any
      legal proceedings, to the extent that any other Finance Party was given
      notice of such proceedings and, being entitled to do so, did not join in
      such proceedings.
<PAGE>

                                      102

33.4  LOSS SHARING

      Without prejudice to Clause 33.1, if it transpires for any reason that any
      amount owing by an Obligor under any Finance Document to a Finance Party
      remains undischarged and for any reason any resulting losses are not being
      borne by the Banks and the Hedging Bank pro rata to the amount which their
      respective participation in the Advances (including amounts under any
      Ancillary Facility) bore to the aggregate of all Advances outstanding on
      the date on which the Facility Agent gives notice to the Parent pursuant
      to Clause 23.2(b), (c) (and demand has been made thereunder) or (d)
      (PROVIDED THAT for this purpose the aggregate of all Advances outstanding
      will be notionally increased by an aggregate amount calculated in
      accordance with Schedule 7 with respect to any Bank's interest in the
      Hedging Documents, and shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal
      to the aggregate amounts outstanding under any Ancillary Facility the
      Banks and the Hedging Bank shall make such payments inter se as shall be
      required to ensure that after taking into account such payments such
      losses are borne by the Banks in their capacity as such) and the Hedging
      Bank pro rata.

34.   SEVERABILITY

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

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

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

35.   COUNTERPARTS

      This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has
      the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single
      copy of this Agreement.

36.   NOTICES

36.1  GIVING OF NOTICES

      All notices or other communications under or in connection with this
      Agreement shall be given in writing or by facsimile. Any such notice will
      be deemed to be given as follows:

      (a)   if in writing, when delivered;

      (b)   if by facsimile, when received.

      However, a notice given in accordance with the above but received on a
      non-working day or after business hours in the place of receipt will only
      be deemed to be given on the next working day in that place.  Any notice
      given to the Facility Agent shall be confirmed in writing, but non receipt
      of the written confirmation shall not invalidate such notice or any action
      taken in reliance on the facsimile version thereof.
<PAGE>

                                      103

36.2  ADDRESSES FOR NOTICES

      The address and facsimile number of each Party for all notices under or in
      connection with this Agreement are:

            Substitution Certificate, Borrower Accession Agreement or Guarantor
            Accession Agreement by which such Party became a party to this

      (ii)  as otherwise notified by that Party for this purpose to the Facility
            Agent (or in the case of the Facility Agent as otherwise notified by
            the Facility Agent to the other Parties) by not less than five
            Business Days' notice.

37.   JURISDICTION

37.1  SUBMISSION

      For the benefit of each Finance Party, each Obligor agrees that the courts
      of England have jurisdiction to settle any disputes in connection with any
      Finance Document and accordingly submits to the jurisdiction of the
      English courts.

37.2  SERVICE OF PROCESS

      Without prejudice to any other mode of service, each Obligor:

      (a)   irrevocably appoints Getty U.K. whose registered office is at 101
            Bayham Street, London, NW1 0AG as its agent for service of process
            relating to any proceedings before the English courts in connection
            with any Finance Document;

      (b)   agrees that failure by such process agent to notify the Obligor of
            the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned; and

      (c)   consents to the service of process relating to any such proceedings
            by prepaid posting of a copy of the process to its address for the
            time being applying under Clause 36.2 (Addresses for notices).

      Getty U.K. hereby irrevocably accepts such appointment by each other
      Obligor.

37.3  FORUM CONVENIENCE AND ENFORCEMENT ABROAD

      Each Obligor:

      (a)   waives objection to the English courts on grounds of inconvenient
            forum or otherwise as regards proceedings in connection with a
            Finance Document; and

      (b)   agrees that a judgment or order of an English court in connection
            with a Finance Document is (subject to rights of appeal before the
            English courts) conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced
            against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
<PAGE>

                                      104

37.4  NON-EXCLUSIVITY

      Nothing in this Clause 37 limits the right of a Finance Party to bring
      proceedings against an Obligor in connection with any Finance Document:

      (a)   in any other court of competent jurisdiction including in New York
            City, New York, United States of America; or

      (b)   concurrently in more than one jurisdiction.

37.5  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

      Each Obligor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, trial by
      jury in any litigation in any court with respect to, in connection with,
      or arising out of this Agreement, or the validity, protection,
      interpretation, collection or enforcement hereof; and the Obligors hereby
      waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to interpose
      any set off or counterclaim or cross-claim in connection with any such
      litigation, irrespective of the nature of such setoff, counterclaim or
      cross-claim except to the extent that the failure so to assert any such
      setoff, counterclaim or cross-claim would permanently preclude the
      prosecution of or recovery upon same.  The Obligors agree that this
      Clause 37.5 is a specific and material aspect of this Agreement and
      acknowledge that the Banks would not make the Facilities available if this
      Clause 37.5 were not part of this Agreement.

38.   GOVERNING LAW

      This Agreement is governed by English law.

This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this
Agreement.

                                    SCHEDULE 8
                                         
                         CALCULATION OF THE ADDITIONAL COST
                                         

(1)   The MLA Cost relative to each Advance where (and to the extent that) Banks
      making such Advance are subject to the Mandatory Liquid Asset requirements
      of the Bank of England, will be, subject as hereinafter provided, for the
      Interest Period relating to such Advance (or, if longer than three months,
      for each consecutive period of three months within such Interest Period
      and for any balance of such Interest Period) (which Interest Period if not
      longer than three months and each other such period is herein referred to
      as a "RELEVANT PERIOD") the percentage rate supplied by the Facility Agent
      arrived at by applying the following formula:

      MLA Cost = BY + L(Y-X) + S(Y-Z) % per annum
                 ---------------------
                     100-(B + S)
                             
      Where:
     
      B     =     The percentage of the Facility Agent's eligible liabilities
                  then required to be held on a non-interest-bearing deposit
                  account with the Bank of England pursuant to the cash ratio
                  requirements of the Bank of England.
     
      Y     =     The rate at which Sterling deposits in an amount approximately
                  equal to the principal amount of such Advance are offered by
                  the Facility Agent to leading banks in the London Interbank
                  Market at or about 11.00 a.m. on that day for a period
                  comparable to the Relevant Period in relation to such Advance.
     
      L     =     The percentage of eligible liabilities which the Bank of
                  England from time to time requires the Facility Agent to
                  maintain as secured money with members of the London Discount
                  Market Association and/or as secured call money with those
                  money brokers and gilt-edged market makers recognised by the
                  Bank of England.
     
      X     =     The rate at which secured Sterling deposits in an amount
                  approximately equal to the principal amount of such Advance
                  may be placed by the Facility Agent with members of the London
                  Discount Market Association and/or as secured call money with
                  money brokers and gilt-edged market makers at or about
                  11.00 a.m. on that day for a period comparable to the Relevant
                  Period in relation to such Advance.
     
      S     =     The percentage of the Facility Agent's eligible liabilities
                  then required to be placed as a special deposit with the Bank
                  of England.
     
      Z     =     The percentage interest rate per annum allowed by the Bank of
                  England on special deposits.
     
      For the purposes of this paragraph "ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES" and "SPECIAL
      DEPOSITS" shall bear the meanings ascribed to them from time to time by
      the Bank of England.

(2)   In the application of the above formula, B, Y, L, X, S and Z will be
      included in the formula as figures and not as percentages, e.g. if B =
      0.5% and Y = 15%, BY will be calculated as 0.5 x 15 and not as 0.5% x 15%.

(3)   The MLA Cost computed by the Facility Agent in accordance with this
      schedule shall be rounded upward, if necessary, to four decimal places.

(4)   The calculation in respect of the MLA Cost for each Advance denominated in
      Sterling will be made by the Facility Agent on the first day of each
      Relevant Period.

(5)   Calculations will be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and the
      actual number of days elapsed.

(6)   In the event of a change in circumstances (including the imposition of
      alternative or additional official requirements, excluding capital
      adequacy requirements) which renders the above formula inappropriate in
      the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall
      promptly notify the Banks thereof and shall notify the Parent of the
      manner in which the Additional Cost shall thereafter be determined (which
      manner shall be determined in a bona fide manner and provide a fair
      assessment of the MLA Cost) and the Obligors and the Banks shall be bound
      thereby.
