             Agreement and such default  continues  unremedied  for a period of
             three London Business Days after the earlier of the  Fourth Issuer

             performance  or  observance  of  any  of  its  other covenants and
             obligations under this Agreement, which in the reasonable  opinion
             of the Security Trustee is materially prejudicial to the interests
             of  the Fourth Issuer Secured Creditors and such default continues
             unremedied  for  a period of twenty London Business Days after the
             earlier of the Fourth  Issuer  Cash Manager becoming aware of such

             substantially on the same terms as the relevant provisions of this
             Agreement  or  on  such  terms  as  are satisfactory to the Fourth
             Issuer and the Security Trustee and the Fourth Issuer Cash Manager

                                       11



              shall not be released  from its  obligations  under the  relevant
              provisions of this Agreement  until such  substitute cash manager
              has entered into such new  agreement and the rights of the Fourth
              Issuer under such agreement are charged in favour of the Security
              Trustee on terms satisfactory to the Security Trustee; and

      (e)    the then current ratings (if any) of the  Fourth  Issuer Notes are
             not adversely affected as a result thereof.

12.3  EFFECT OF TERMINATION

            order of, the Fourth Issuer or the Security Trustee, as the case may
            be) to the Fourth Issuer or the Security Trustee, as the case may be

            records,  registers,  correspondence and documents in its possession
            or under its control relating to the affairs of or belongings of the
            Fourth  Issuer  or the  Security  Trustee,  as the case may be,  (if
            practicable,  on the date of  receipt)  any monies  then held by the
            Fourth  Issuer  Cash  Manager  on behalf of the Fourth  Issuer,  the
            Security  Trustee and any other assets of the Fourth  Issuer and the
            Security Trustee;

      (ii)  take such  further  action  as the  Fourth  Issuer  or the  Security
            Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably direct at the expense of
            the  Fourth  Issuer  or the  Security  Trustee,  as the  case may be
            (including  in  relation to the  appointment  of a  substitute  cash
            manager) provided that the Security Trustee shall not be required to
            take or direct to be taken such  further  action  unless it has been
            indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction;

      (iii) provide all relevant  information  contained on computer  records in

            for the  purposes of  explaining  the file layouts and the format of
            the magnetic tapes generally containing such computer records on the
            computer system of the Fourth Issuer or the Security Trustee or such
            nominee, as the case may be.

12.4  NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT

      The Fourth Issuer Cash Manager shall deliver to the Fourth Issuer and the
      Security  Trustee as soon as reasonably  practicable  but  in  any  event
      within three  London  Business Days of becoming aware thereof a notice of
      any Fourth Issuer Cash  Manager  Termination  Event  or any Fourth Issuer
      Note Event of Default or any event which with the giving of notice or

                                       12



      expiry of any grace period or certification, as specified  in such Fourth

12.5  GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TERMINATION

(a)   Termination  of the  appointment  of the Fourth  Issuer Cash Manager under
      this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the liabilities of the Fourth
      Issuer and the Security  Trustee to the Fourth Issuer Cash Manager or vice
      versa incurred before the date of such termination. The Fourth Issuer Cash
      Manager  shall  have no right of  set-off  or any lien in  respect of such
      amounts  against  amounts held by it on behalf of the Fourth Issuer or the

      or  further  compensation.  The  Fourth  Issuer  shall pay such  moneys so
      receivable by the Fourth Issuer Cash Manager in accordance with the Fourth
      Issuer Pre-  Enforcement  Revenue Priority of Payments or, as the case may
      be, the Fourth Issuer Post-Enforcement  Priority of Payments, on the dates
      on which they would otherwise have fallen due hereunder.  Such termination
      shall not  affect  the  Fourth  Issuer  Cash  Manager's  rights to receive
      payment of all  amounts  (if any) due to it from the Fourth  Issuer  other
      than under this Agreement.
