BY:   VARITY CORPORATION (the "Guarantor"),

IN FAVOUR OF: the Agent and the Banks (as each is defined in the Facility
Agreement, each a "Beneficiary" and together the "Beneficiaries").

(A)   Perkins Limited as Principal Borrower, Perkins Group Limited as
      Covenantor, certain of the Covenantor's subsidiaries, Lloyds Bank Plc as
      Agent and certain financial institutions named therein as Banks, are party
      to a facility agreement (as amended, varied, supplemented, novated or
      restated from time to time, the "Facility Agreement") dated 30 September
      1993 and amended and restated the date hereof pursuant to the terms of
      which the Banks have agreed to make available to the Borrowers a secured
      revolving credit facility in an amount of (Pounds)50,000,000.

(B)   It is a condition precedent under the Facility Agreement that the
      Guarantor provide a guarantee in the form set out hereunder.


NOW THIS DEED OF GUARANTEE WITNESSETH  as follows:

1.    Interpretation

1.1 Terms defined or to which an interpretation is ascribed in the Facility
Agreement shall, unless otherwise defined herein, bear the same meaning herein
(including in the Recitals hereto).

1.2   In this Guarantee:

"Guaranteed Obligations" means, in respect of the Borrowers, all monies which
now are due or hereafter may be or become due and owing by the Borrowers, in any
capacity, to the Beneficiaries (or any of them) under or pursuant to any of the
Facility Documents and all other liabilities, actual or contingent, now existing
or hereafter incurred by any of the Borrowers in any capacity under or pursuant
to any of the Facility Documents;

"Original Financial Statements" means the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Guarantor for its financial year ended 31 January, 1994;

"SEC" means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 
1.3 The provisions of Clauses 1.4 and 1.5 of the Facility Agreement shall apply
to this Guarantee mutatis mutandis.

1.4 Any reference in this Guarantee to a "U.S. business day" shall be
constituted as a reference to a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which
banks are generally open for business in New York.

2.    Guarantee

      The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably:

         (i)     guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries from time to time the
                 due and punctual observance and performance of all the
                 Guaranteed Obligations and, but without prejudice to the
                 generality of the foregoing, agrees unconditionally to pay to
                 the Agent for the account of the Beneficiaries from time to
                 time on demand by the Agent any and every sum or sums of money
                 which any or all of the Borrowers shall be liable at any time
                 to pay to the Beneficiaries or any of them at the time such
                 demand is made pursuant to any of the Facility Documents and
                 which have not been so paid by such Borrower or Borrowers ; and

        (ii)     agrees, as a primary obligation, from time to time on demand by
                 the Agent, to (a) indemnify and hold harmless each Beneficiary
                 for and against any loss incurred by such Beneficiary and (b)
                 to pay to each Beneficiary the amount of any loss suffered or
                 incurred by such Beneficiary as a result of any of the
                 obligations of any of the Borrowers under or pursuant to any of
                 the Facility Documents being or becoming void, voidable,
                 unenforceable or ineffective as against any of the Borrowers
                 for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the
                 Beneficiaries or any of them or to any other person, the amount
                 of such loss being the amount which the person or persons
                 suffering it would otherwise have been entitled to recover from
                 such Borrower.

3.    Preservation of Rights

3.1 The obligations of the Guarantor herein contained shall be in addition to
and independent of every other security which the Beneficiaries, or any of them,
may at any time hold in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.2 The obligations of the Guarantor herein contained shall constitute and be
continuing obligations notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter
or thing whatsoever, and in particular but without limitation, shall not be
considered satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of all or any
of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall continue in full force and effect until
final payment in full of all amounts owing by each Borrower under the Facility
Documents and total satisfaction of all the Borrowers' actual and contingent
obligations thereunder.

 
3.3 Neither the obligations of the Guarantor herein contained nor the rights,
powers and remedies conferred in respect of the Guarantor upon the Beneficiaries
or any of them by this Guarantee or by law shall be discharged, impaired or
otherwise affected by:

        (i)      the winding-up, dissolution, administration or re-organisation
                 of any Obligor or any other person or any change in its status,
                 function, control or ownership;

       (ii)      any of the obligations of any Obligor or any other person under
                 any Facility Document or under any other security taken in
                 respect of any of its obligations thereunder being or becoming
                 illegal, invalid, unenforceable or ineffective in any respect;

      (iii)      time or other indulgence being granted or agreed to be granted
                 to any Obligor or any other person in respect of its
                 obligations under any Facility Document or under any such other
                 security;

       (iv)      any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any
                 obligation of any Obligor or any other person under any
                 Facility Document or under any such other security;

        (v)      any failure to take, or fully to take, any security
                 contemplated hereby or otherwise agreed to be taken in respect
                 of any Obligor's, or any other person's, obligations under any
                 Facility Document;

       (vi)      any failure to realise or fully to realise the value of, or any
                 release, discharge, exchange or substitution of, any security
                 taken in respect of any Obligor's or, any other person's,
                 obligations under any Facility Document; or

      (vii)      any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause
                 3.3, might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect any
                 of the obligations of the Guarantor herein contained or any of
                 the rights, powers or remedies conferred upon the Beneficiaries
                 or any of them by any of the Facility Documents or by law.

3.4 Any settlement or discharge between the Guarantor, the Beneficiaries or any
of them shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Beneficiaries or
any of them by any Obligor or any other person on behalf of any Obligor, being
avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application for
the time being in force and, if any such security or payment is so avoided or
reduced, the Beneficiaries shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of
such security or payment from the Guarantor subsequently as if such settlement
or discharge had not occurred.

4.    Conditions of Enforcement

 
4.1 No Beneficiary shall be obliged before exercising any of the rights, powers
or remedies conferred upon it by this Guarantee or by law:

        (i)      to make any demand of any Obligor;

       (ii)      to take any action or obtain judgment in any court against any
                 Obligor;

      (iii)      to make or file any claim or proof in a winding-up or
                 dissolution of any Obligor; or

       (iv)      to enforce or seek to enforce any other security taken in
                 respect of any of the obligations of any Obligor hereunder.

5.    Non-Competition

5.1 The Guarantor agrees that, so long as any amounts are or may be owed by any
Obligor under the Facility Documents or under the Bilateral Facility Agreement
or any Obligor or the Bilateral Lender is under any actual or contingent
obligations thereunder, the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may
at any time have by reason of performance by it of its obligations hereunder:

        (i)      to be indemnified by any Obligor; and/or

       (ii)      to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of the
                 Guaranteed Obligations; and/or

      (iii)      to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of
                 subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Beneficiaries
                 against any Obligor or of any other security taken pursuant to,
                 or in connection with, any of the Guaranteed Obligations by all
                 or any of the Beneficiaries.

6.    Certificates

obligations of the Borrowers under the Facility Documents being or becoming
void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective, at any time would have been due
and payable from the Borrowers under the Facility Documents shall be prima facie
evidence in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection
herewith.

7.    Representations

7.1 The Guarantor represents that subject to any qualification in any legal
opinion delivered pursuant to the Fourth Schedule of the Facility Agreement:

        (i)      it is a corporation duly organised under the laws of its
                 jurisdiction of incorporation with power to enter into this
                 Guarantee and to exercise its

 
                 rights and perform its obligations hereunder and all corporate
                 and other action required to authorise its execution of this
                 Guarantee and its performance of its obligations hereunder has
                 been duly taken;

       (ii)      under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation in force at
                 the date hereof, it will not be required to make any deduction
                 or withholding from any payment it may make hereunder;

      (iii)      under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation in force at
                 the date hereof, the claims of the Beneficiaries under this
                 Guarantee will rank at least pari passu with the claims of any
                 unsecured creditors save those whose claims are preferred
                 solely by any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other laws
                 of general application;

       (iv)      in any proceedings taken in its jurisdiction of incorporation
                 in relation to this Guarantee, it will not be entitled to claim
                 for itself or any of its assets immunity from suit, execution,
                 attachment or other legal process;

        (v)      all acts, conditions and things required to be done, fulfilled
                 and performed in order (a) to enable it lawfully to enter into,
                 exercise its rights under and perform and comply with the
                 obligations expressed to be assumed by it in this Guarantee
                 and, (b) to ensure that the obligations expressed to be assumed
                 by it in this Guarantee are legal, valid and binding;

       (vi)      under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation in force at
                 the date hereof, it is not necessary that this Guarantee be
                 filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or other authority
                 in such jurisdiction other than as may be required by the SEC
                 (or similar state authority) or that any registration or
                 similar tax be paid on or in relation to this Guarantee; and

      (vii)      the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in this Guarantee
                 are legal and valid obligations binding on it in accordance
                 with the terms thereof.

                 been taken or legal proceedings been started or (to the best of
                 its knowledge and belief) threatened against it for its 
                 winding-up, dissolution, administration or re-organisation or
                 for the appointment of a receiver, administrator,
                 administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer of it or of
                 any or all of its assets or revenues (including any equivalent
                 or analogous proceedings under the law of the jurisdiction in
                 which it is incorporated or carries on business) other than
                 such steps or proceedings which (a) have been notified to the
                 Agent prior to making this representation (b) are being
                 contested in good

 
                 faith or (c) are frivolous or vexatious;

       (ii)      it is not in breach of or in default under any agreement to
                 which it is a party or which is binding on it or any of its
                 assets to an extent or in a manner which would be reasonably
                 likely to have a material adverse effect on its business or
                 financial condition;

      (iii)      other than as disclosed to the Agent prior to making this
                 representation, no action or administrative proceeding of or
                 before any court or agency which would be reasonably likely to
                 have a material adverse effect on its business or financial
                 condition has been started or to the best of its knowledge
                 threatened;

       (iv)      its Original Financial Statements were prepared in accordance
                 with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
                 States and consistently applied and presents (in conjunction
                 with the notes thereto) fairly, in all material respects, its
                 financial condition at the date as of which they were prepared
                 and the results of its operations during the financial year
                 then ended;

        (v)      since publication of its Original Financial Statements there
                 has been no material adverse change in its business or
                 financial condition;

       (vi)      as at the date as of which its Original Financial Statements
                 were prepared, it had no material losses or liabilities
                 (contingent or otherwise) which were not disclosed thereby (or
                 by the notes thereto) or reserved against therein, or which
                 have been otherwise disclosed, nor were there at that date any
                 unrealised or anticipated losses arising from commitments
                 entered into by it which were not so disclosed or reserved
                 against;

      (vii)      all information supplied by it in connection herewith, and by
                 Varity Europe in connection with the Facility Agreement, was
                 true, complete and accurate in all material respects as at the
                 date on which it was provided and the Guarantor is not aware of
                 any material facts or circumstances which would cause such
                 information to be misleading to any of the Beneficiaries;

     (viii)      its execution of this Guarantee and its exercise of its rights
                 and performance of its obligations thereunder will not result
                 in the existence of nor oblige it to create any encumbrance
                 over all or any of its present or future revenues or assets;

       (ix)      its execution of this Guarantee and its exercise of its rights
                 and performance of its obligations hereunder do not and will
                 not:

                 (a)  conflict with any material agreement, mortgage, bond or
                      other

 
                      instrument or treaty to which it is a party or which is
                      binding upon it or any of its assets;

                 (b)  conflict with its constitutive documents and rules and
                      regulations; or

                 (c)  conflict with any applicable law, regulation or official
                      or judicial order;

        (x)      its execution of this Guarantee and its exercise of its rights
                 and performance of its obligations hereunder will constitute,
                 private and commercial acts done and performed for private and
                 commercial purposes; and

       (xi)      the Covenantor is under the control (as that term is construed
                 for the purposes of the Facility Agreement) of the Guarantor.

                 statements for such period, filed by it with the SEC for such
                 financial quarter; and

      (iii)      prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, no more than
                 once in any financial year, but thereafter at any time, on the
                 request of the Agent, acting on the instructions of an
                 Instructing Group, furnish the Agent with such information

                 Agent may reasonably require;

                 as at the date hereof the Guarantor's current auditors are
                 acceptable.

9.    Covenants

      The Guarantor shall:

        (i)      obtain, comply in all material respects with the terms of and
                 do all that is necessary to maintain in full force and effect
                 all authorisations, approvals, licences and consents required
                 in or by the laws and regulations of its jurisdiction of
                 incorporation to enable it lawfully to enter into and perform
                 its obligations under this Guarantee to which it is a party or
                 to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability in its
                 jurisdiction of incorporation of this Guarantee;

       (ii)      as soon as it becomes aware, promptly inform the Agent of the
                 occurrence of any Event of Default which relates to this
                 Guarantee or arises as a result of any of the acts or omissions
                 of the Principal Guarantor;

      (iii)      ensure that at all times the claims of the Agent and the
                 Beneficiaries against it under this Guarantee rank at least
                 pari passu with the claims of any unsecured creditors save
                 those whose claims are preferred by any bankruptcy, insolvency,
                 liquidation or other laws of general application; and

       (iv)      as soon as practicable, but in any event within five days of
                 Standard & Poor's Ratings Group amending its rating of the
                 Principal Guarantor (either upwards or downwards), notify the
                 Agent in writing of such amendment.

10.   Payment Free of Deduction

      All payments to be made to any Beneficiary under this Guarantee shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of Tax (not being
a tax imposed upon the net income of any Beneficiary or any of its branches)
unless the Guarantor is required to make such payment subject to the deduction
or withholding of Tax, in which case the sum payable by the Guarantor in respect
of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased
to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or
withholding, the person on account of whose liability to Tax such deduction or
withholding has been made receives and retains (free from any liability in
respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which
it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been
made or required

 
to be made.

11.   Payments

11.1 All payments by the Guarantor under or pursuant to this Guarantee shall be
made to the Beneficiaries in the currency in which the relevant part of the
Guaranteed Obligations is denominated or, if different, is payable and in such
funds to such account with such bank by such time and in such other manner as
the Agent may direct from time to time.

11.2 Subject to the provisions of Clause 10, all payments under or pursuant to
this Guarantee shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

11.3 All sums received by the Beneficiaries pursuant to this Guarantee shall be
dealt with in accordance with the Facility Agreement.

12.   Currency

      If any sum due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order or
judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency
(the "first currency") in which the same is payable hereunder or under such
order or judgment into another currency (the "second currency"), for the
purposes of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor (ii)
obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal (iii) enforcing
any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto or (iv) applying the same
in satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor shall as a
separate and independent obligation, on demand of the Agent, indemnify and hold
harmless each of the persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss
suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used
for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the
second currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which such person may
in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second
currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part,
of such order, judgment, claim or proof or for application in satisfaction of
the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.   The Agent's Discretion

      Any liability or power which may be exercised or any determination which
may be made hereunder by the Agent may, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Facility Agreement, be exercised or made in its or his absolute and
unfettered discretion without any obligation to give reasons therefor.

14.   Provisions Severable

      Each of the provisions contained in this Guarantee shall be severable and
distinct from one another and if any one or more of such provisions is now or
hereafter becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining such provisions shall not in any way be
affected, prejudiced or impaired thereby.

 
15.   Counterparts

      This Guarantee may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
when taken together and delivered to the Agent shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

16.1 Each communication to be made hereunder shall be made in writing but,
unless otherwise stated, may be made by facsimile (followed by a confirmation
copy to be sent by post within one week thereafter) or letter.

16.2 Any communication or document to be made or delivered by one person to
another pursuant to this Guarantee shall (unless that other person has by
fifteen days' written notice to the Agent specified another address or facsimile
number) be made or delivered to that other person at the address or telex or
facsimile number identified with its execution below and, in the case of any
communication made by facsimile shall be deemed to have been made or delivered

such case may be relied or acted upon immediately notwithstanding the provisions
of Clause 16.1) or (in the case of any communication made by letter) when left
at that address or (as the case may be) ten days after being deposited in the

Always that any communication or document to be made or delivered shall be
effective only if the same is expressly marked for the attention of the

or potential assignee of the Beneficiary or to any person who may otherwise
enter into contractual relations with the Beneficiary in relation to this
Guarantee Provided that no information (other than the terms of the Facility

19.1 The Guarantor irrevocably agrees for the benefit of each of the

arise out of or in connection with this Guarantee and, for such purposes,
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

19.2 The Guarantor irrevocably agrees for the benefit of each of the

19.3 The Guarantor irrevocably waives any objection which it might now or
hereafter have to the courts referred to in Clause 19.1 and 19.2 being nominated

any suit, action or proceeding in England, to the registered office of the
Principal Borrower or its principal place of business for the time being. If the
appointment of the person mentioned in this Clause 19.4 ceases to be effective,
the Guarantor shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept
service of process on its behalf in England and, failing such appointment within
15 days, the Agent shall be entitled to appoint such a person by notice to the
Guarantor. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law.

19.5 The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Clause 19.1
and 19.2 shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the
Agent, the Beneficiaries or any of them to take proceedings against the
Guarantor in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of
proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings
in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent
