                                        4



2.2  GUARANTEED LIABILITIES

     In this Deed, the "GUARANTEED LIABILITIES" means all moneys or liabilities
     due or owing by any RRL Group Company to any Finance Party:

     (a)  under the Finance Documents or any current or other account or in any
          such manner;

     (b)  in respect of liabilities incurred under or in respect of foreign
          exchange transactions, interest rate swap agreements, other agreements
          or arrangements entered into by the Lenders or the Security Trustee
          for the purpose of limiting any RRL Group Company's currency or
          interest rate exposure under any Risk Management Agreements;

     (c)  in respect of money or liabilities due or owing or incurred in
          sterling or any other currency, alone or jointly with others as
          principal or surety; and

     (d)  in respect of moneys or liabilities originally owing or incurred to

          Finance Parties,

     together with, in each such case, interest, commission and bank fees and
     charges applicable thereto. Such interest shall be calculated to the date
     of payment (as well after as before any Demand or judgment) at the Interest
     Rate and to be compounded at such intervals as the Security Trustee shall
     determine, acting reasonably.

2.3  LIQUIDATION OF ANY RRL GROUP COMPANY

     In the event of the liquidation of any RRL Group Company which is obligated
     in respect of any Guaranteed Liability and notwithstanding such
     liquidation, the guarantee set forth in this Clause 2 (Guarantees) shall
     extend to cover all Guaranteed Liabilities which would have been owing to
     the Security Trustee by such RRL Group Company if such liquidation had
     commenced when the Security Trustee received actual notice of it.

2.4  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT OF RRL GROUP COMPANIES

     Any statement of account of any RRL Group Company, signed as correct by the
     Security Trustee, shall be conclusive evidence as against the Guarantor of
     the amount of the Guaranteed Liabilities owning by such RRL Group Company.

3.   CONTINUING SECURITY

3.1  GUARANTEE AS CONTINUING SECURITY

     This Deed is a continuing security and shall secure the ultimate balance of
     the Guaranteed Liabilities notwithstanding any intermediate payment or
     discharge of all or part of the Guaranteed Liabilities to the Security
     Trustee or any other Finance Party and also notwithstanding the
     liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, administration, receivership,
     amalgamation, reconstruction or other incapacity of any RRL Group Company,
     any change in the constitution, name or style of any RRL Group Company, or
     any other event, matter or thing.


                                        5



3.2  GUARANTEE ADDITIONAL TO ANY OTHER RIGHTS

     This Deed is in addition to (and shall not merge with, otherwise prejudice
     or affect or be prejudiced or affected by) any other right, remedy,
     guarantee, indemnity or lien which may be or have been created in favour of
     the Security Trustee in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities. Accordingly,
     this Deed may be enforced notwithstanding the existence or invalidity of
     all or any of the same and also notwithstanding the Security Trustee at any
     time exchanging, releasing, varying, abstaining from perfecting or
     enforcing or otherwise dealing or omitting to deal with all or any of the
     same.

3.3  ENFORCEMENT

     The Security Trustee shall not be obliged to make any claim or demand on
     any RRL Group Company or to resort to any bill, note, right, remedy,
     guarantee, indemnity or lien or other means of payment from time to time
     held by or available to it before enforcing this Deed nor shall the
     Security Trustee be obliged to account for any money or other property
     received or recovered in consequence of any enforcement or realisation of
     any of the same.

3.4  LIABILITY

     The liability of the Guarantor under this Deed shall not be discharged,
     reduced, impaired or affected by:

     (a)  any present or future bill of exchange, note, right, remedy,
          guarantee, indemnity or lien held by or available to the Security
          Trustee, being or becoming wholly or in part void, voidable or
          unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by the Security Trustee from
          time to time exchanging, releasing, varying, abstaining from
          perfecting or enforcing or otherwise dealing or omitting to deal with
          all or any of the same;

     (b)  the Security Trustee compounding with, discharging, releasing or
          varying the liability of or granting any time, indulgence or
          concession to any RRL Group Company or any other person or renewing,
          determining, varying or increasing any bill, promissory note or other
          negotiable instrument, accommodation, facility or transaction in any
          manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any
          compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce
          payment from any RRL Group Company or any other person;

     (c)  any act or omission which would not have discharged, impaired or
          affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been primary obligor
          instead of guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this
          provision might operate to discharge, reduce, impair or affect that
          liability; or

     (d)  any termination, amendment, variation, novation of, or supplement to,
          any of the Finance Documents to which any RRL Group Company is a
          party.

3.5  SUSPENSE ACCOUNT

     If any RRL Group Company or the Guarantor is wound up, goes into
     liquidation, becomes bankrupt or makes any composition or arrangement with
     its creditors,


                                        6



     neither the existence of the guarantee or indemnity contained in this Deed,
     the rights of the Security Trustee pursuant to Clause 9 (The Security
     Trustee's powers) hereof, nor any monies received or recovered by the
     Security Trustee, shall impair the right of the Security Trustee to prove
     in such winding up, liquidation, bankruptcy, composition or arrangement for
     the total amount due from any RRL Group Company or the Guarantor and, to
     this end or so as to preserve intact the obligations of any person
     answerable for any part of such total amount, the Security Trustee may at
     any time and after any such event takes place and, for so long as the
     Security Trustee thinks fit prior to satisfaction in full of the
     Guarantor's obligations under this Deed, keep any monies received or
     recovered under this Deed in a separate or suspense account, in such name
     as the Security Trustee thinks fit, without any intermediate obligation on
     the part of the Security Trustee to apply the same in or towards discharge
     of any part of such total amount.

4.   INVALIDITY

     If anything (including any irregular exercise or absence of any corporate
     power or lack of authority of, or breach of duty by, any person purporting
     to act on behalf of any RRL Group Company, legal or other limitation,
     disability, incapacity or change in constitution of any RRL Group Company)
     causes any purported obligation or liability of any RRL Group Company which
     would have been the subject of this Deed had such obligation or liability
     been valid and enforceable to be or become invalid or unenforceable against
     any RRL Group Company on any ground whatsoever whether or not known to the
     Security Trustee or any other Finance Party, then the Guarantor shall
     nevertheless be liable to the Security Trustee in respect of that purported
     obligation or liability as if it were the primary obligation or liability
     of the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall indemnify, subject to applicable law,
     and keep indemnified the Security Trustee on demand against any losses,
     liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from the failure of any RRL Group
     Company to observe any such purported obligation or liability, save and
     except for any such losses, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from
     the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Security Trustee.

5.   RELEASES CONDITIONAL

5.1  RELEASES MADE BY THE SECURITY TRUSTEE

     Any release, settlement, discharge, re-assignment or arrangement (in this
     Clause 5 (Releases Conditional), a "RELEASE") given or made by the Security
     Trustee on the faith of any assurance, security or payment shall be
     conditional upon that assurance, security or payment not being avoided,
     reduced or ordered to be repaid under any enactment relating to
     liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of any RRL Group Company or any other
     person. If such avoidance or reduction occurs or such order is made, the
     release given by the Security Trustee shall not prejudice the right of the
     Security Trustee to enforce this guarantee in respect of the Guaranteed
     Liabilities and as between the Guarantor and the Security Trustee this Deed
     (notwithstanding the release) shall be deemed to have remained at all times
     held by the Security Trustee as a guarantee for the Guaranteed Liabilities
     as if such release had not been made.


                                        7



5.2  RETENTION OF DEED

     The Security Trustee may in its absolute discretion retain all or part of
     this Deed as a guarantee for the Guaranteed Liabilities for a period of 25
     months after the Guaranteed Liabilities shall have been paid and discharged
     in full. If at any time within that period of 25 months a petition is
     presented to a competent court for a winding-up or administration order to
     be made in respect of any RRL Group Company or steps are taken to wind up
     any RRL Group Company voluntarily, then the Security Trustee may continue
     to retain all or part of this Deed for such further period as the Security
     Trustee in its absolute discretion shall determine.

     (b)  not to take any step to enforce any right against any RRL Group
          Company, any other guarantor, any co-guarantor or any other person
          liable in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities and in particular (but

          (i)   demand, accept, negotiate, assign, charge or otherwise dispose
                of:

               (A)  any moneys, obligations or liabilities from time to time due
                    or owing to the Guarantor; or

                the same or in any other guarantee, indemnity or lien from time
                to time held by the Security Trustee for any of the Guaranteed

2.2  FURTHER COVENANT BY THE GUARANTOR

     If the Guarantor shall have any right of proof in the liquidation of any
     RRL Group Company in respect of any matters unconnected with this Deed or
     any right of contribution from a co-guarantor, the Guarantor (if requested
     by the Security Trustee) shall exercise such rights on behalf of the
     Security Trustee and shall hold any dividend or moneys received in respect
     of the same on trust for the Security Trustee.

                            SECURITY TRUSTEE'S POWERS

1.   SUSPENSE ACCOUNT

     Any moneys received by the Security Trustee under this Deed may, at the
     discretion of the Security Trustee, be placed in a suspense account and
     kept there for so long as the Security Trustee thinks fit.

2.   THE GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTS

2.1  DEALINGS WITH SECURITY TRUSTEE'S ACCOUNTS

     The Security Trustee may at any time (without prior notice or demand to the
     Guarantor or any RRL Group Company and notwithstanding any settlement of
     account or any other matter or thing):

     (a)  combine or consolidate all or any of the Guarantor's then-existing
          accounts with the Security Trustee (including accounts in the name of
          the Security Trustee or the Guarantor alone or jointly with others)
          irrespective of the type of account or the place in which it is held;
          and

     (b)  set off or transfer any sum standing to the credit of any one or more
          such accounts in or towards the payment, discharge or provision of
          cash cover for the Guaranteed Liabilities.

     For these purposes the Security Trustee may effect such currency exchanges
     as in its opinion are appropriate to implement the same.

2.2  NEW ACCOUNTS

     The Security Trustee may at any time open a new account or accounts for the
     Guarantor. If the Security Trustee does not open such a new account, it
     shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when the
     guarantee ceases to be continuing for any reason whatsoever or the Security
     Trustee makes a Demand or makes a demand under any lien held by it for the
     obligations of any RRL Group Company. As from that time, all payments made
     to the Security Trustee for any RRL Group Company's account shall be
     credited (or be treated as having been credited) to the new account and no
     such payment shall operate to reduce the indebtedness or liability of the
     Guarantor under this Deed.

3.   LIEN

     Until the Guaranteed Liabilities have been finally paid and satisfied in
     full, the Security Trustee shall have a lien on all property and assets of
     the Guarantor from time to time in the Security Trustee's possession and a
     charge over all stocks, shares and marketable securities from time to time
     registered in the name of the Security Trustee or its respective nominees
     whether such possession or registration is for safe custody or otherwise.
