TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The Bank is requested by the Borrower to make the Credit Facilities available to
the Borrower in the manner and at the rates and times specified in this
Agreement. Terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement and not otherwise defined
in the Terms and Conditions below or the Schedules attached hereto have the
meaning given to such terms as so defined. In consideration of the Bank making
the Credit Facilities available, the Borrower agrees with the Bank as follows:

REPAYMENT

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities, together with interest, shall
become due in the manner and at the rates and times specified in this Agreement
and shall be paid in the currency of the Borrowing. Unless the Bank otherwise
agrees, any payment hereunder must be made in money which is legal tender at the
time of payment. In the case of a demand facility of any kind, the Borrower
shall repay all principal sums outstanding under such facility upon demand.
Where any Borrowings are repayable by scheduled blended payments, such payments
shall be applied, firstly, to interest due, and the balance, if any, shall be
applied to principal outstanding. If any such payment is insufficient to pay all
interest then due, the unpaid balance of such interest will be added to such
Borrowing, will bear interest at the same rate, and will be payable on demand or
on the date specified herein, as the case may be. Borrowings repayable by way of
scheduled payments of principal and interest shall be so repaid with any balance
of such Borrowings being due and payable as and when specified in this
Agreement. The Borrower shall ensure that the maturities of instruments or
contracts selected by the Borrower when making Borrowings will be such so as to
enable the Borrower to meet its repayment obligations.

PREPAYMENT

Where Borrowings are by way of RBP Loans or RBUSBR Loans, the Borrower may
prepay such Borrowings in whole or in part without fee or premium.

EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS

The Bank shall maintain accounts and records (the “Accounts”) evidencing the
Borrowings made available to the Borrower by the Bank under this Agreement. The
Bank shall record the principal amount of such Borrowings, the payment of
principal and interest on account of the Borrowings, and all other amounts
becoming due to the Bank under this Agreement. The Accounts constitute, in the
absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the indebtedness of the
Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower authorizes and
directs the Bank to automatically debit, by mechanical, electronic or manual
means, any bank account of the Borrower for all amounts payable under this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the repayment of principal and the
payment of interest, fees and all charges for the keeping of such bank accounts.

GENERAL COVENANTS

Without affecting or limiting the right of the Bank to terminate or demand
payment of, or cancel or restrict availability of any unutilized portion of, any
demand or other discretionary facility, the Borrower covenants and agrees with
the Bank that the Borrower:

 

  (a) will pay all sums of money when due under the terms of this Agreement;

 

  (b) will immediately advise the Bank of any event which constitutes or which,
with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach of any covenant or
other term or condition of this Agreement or any Security, or in the case of any
term facility, an Event of Default;

 

  (c) will file all material tax returns which are or will be required to be
filed by it, pay or make provision for payment of all material taxes (including
interest and penalties) and Potential Prior-Ranking Claims, which are or will
become due and payable and provide adequate reserves for the payment of any tax,
the payment of which is being contested;

financial position which may adversely affect its ability to pay or perform its

as would be customarily insured by Persons carrying on a similar business or
owning similar assets;

consent of the Bank, grant, create, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage,
charge, lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance affecting any of

the Business Day before the day on which judgement is given and the date of
payment of the amount due, the Borrower will, on the date of payment, pay such
additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such
date is the amount in the Judgement Currency which, when converted at the rate
of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, is the amount then due under this
Agreement in such other currency together with interest at RBP and expenses

ADDITIONAL BORROWING CONDITIONS

FEF Contracts

“Foreign Exchange Forward Contract” or “FEF Contract” means a currency exchange
transaction or agreement or any option with respect to any such transaction now
existing or hereafter entered into between the Borrower and the Bank;

At the Borrower’s request, the Bank may agree to enter into FEF Contracts with
the Borrower from time to time. The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank makes no
formal commitment herein to enter into any FEF Contract and the Bank may, at any
time and at all times, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any
request by the Borrower to enter into a FEF Contract. If the Bank does enter
into a FEF Contract with the Borrower, it will do so subject to the following:

 

  (a) the Borrower shall promptly issue or countersign and return a confirmation
or acknowledgement of the terms of each such FEF Contract as required by the
Bank;

 

  (b) the Borrower shall, if required by the Bank, promptly enter into a Foreign
Exchange and Options Master Agreement or such other agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Bank to govern the FEF Contract(s);

 

  (c) in the event of demand for payment under the Agreement of which this
schedule forms a part, the Bank may terminate all or any FEF Contracts. If the
agreement governing any FEF Contract does not contain provisions governing
termination, any such termination shall be effected in accordance with customary
market practice. The Bank’s determination of amounts owing under any terminated
FEF Contract shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Bank
shall apply any amount owing by the Bank to the Borrower on termination of any
FEF Contract against the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under the Agreement
and any amount owing to the Bank by the Borrower on such termination shall be
added to the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under the Agreement and secured
by the Security;

 

  (d) the Borrower shall pay all required fees in connection with any FEF
Contracts and indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against any loss, cost or
expense incurred by the Bank in relation to any FEF Contract;

 

  (e) any rights of the Bank herein in respect of any FEF Contract are in
addition to and not in limitation of or substitution for any rights of the Bank
under any agreement governing such FEF Contract. In the event that there is any
inconsistency at any time between the terms hereof and any agreement governing
such FEF Contract, the terms of such agreement shall prevail; and

 

  (f) in addition to any security which may be held at any time in respect of
any FEF Contract, upon request by the Bank from time to time, the Borrower will
deliver to the Bank such security as is acceptable to the Bank as continuing
collateral security for the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank in respect of FEF
Contracts.
