|   | (ii) | the                Facility Agent must apply any amount of the old currency purchased                under                sub-paragraph (i) above towards repaying the Term-Out Loan in the                old                currency; |
|--------|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (iii) | the                Facility Agent will promptly notify the Company if there is a shortfall                or                an excess; |

|--------|------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (v) | if                there is an excess, the Facility Agent must pay to the Company on                the date                the Term-Out Loan is due to be repaid in the old currency an amount                in the                new currency equal to the excess. |

| (e) | If                the calculation made by the Facility Agent under paragraph (a) above                shows                that the amount of the Term-Out Loan in the Optional Currency has                increased or decreased by less than five per cent. since it was borrowed                or (if later) the most recent adjustment under paragraph (c) or (d)                above,                no payment is required under paragraph (c) or (d)                above. |

|   | (a) | the                recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply details                of the                recovery to the Facility Agent; |
|--------|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (b) | the                Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of                the                amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery                had                been received by the Facility Agent under this Agreement;                and |
|--------|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (c) | the                recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal                to the                excess (the **redistribution**). |
|--------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **30.2** | **Effect                of redistribution** |
|----------|---------------------------------------------|

| (a) | The                Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment                by the                Company under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders,                other                than the recovering Lender,                accordingly. |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (b) | When                the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above,                the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance                Parties which have shared in that                redistribution. |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (c) | If                and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely                on any                rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the Company will owe                the recovering Lender a debt which is equal to the redistribution,                immediately payable and of the type originally                discharged. |
|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (d) | If: |
|-----|-----|

|   | (i) | a                recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount                measured by reference to a recovery, to the Company;                and |
|--------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (ii) | the                recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that                recovery, |
|--------|------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **30.3** | **Exceptions** |
|----------|----------------|

|   | (a) | it                would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the Company                in                the amount of the redistribution;                or |
|--------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (b) | it                would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the                recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of legal                or                arbitration proceedings, where: |
|--------|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (c) | the                recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings;                and |
|--------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (d) | the                other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings                but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration                proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice                of                them. |

**CALCULATION      OF THE MANDATORY COST**

**1.**
**General**

**2.**
**For      a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K.**

| (a) | The                relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the                U.K. is                the arithmetic mean of the rates notified by that Lender to the Facility                Agent and calculated in accordance with the following                formulae: |
|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| AB                  + C(B - D) + E x 0.01 | per                  cent. per annum |
|-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| 100                  - (A + C)            |

| E                  x 0.01 | per                  cent. per annum |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| 300                       |

|   | A | is                the percentage of the Lender's eligible liabilities (in excess of                any                stated minimum) which the Bank of England requires it to hold on                a                non-interest-bearing deposit account in accordance with its cash                ratio                requirements; |
|--------|---|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | B | is                LIBOR for that Term; |
|--|---|----------------------------------------|

|   | C | is                the percentage of the Lender's eligible liabilities which the Bank                of                England requires it to place as a special deposit; |
|--------|---|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | D | is                the interest rate per annum allowed by the Bank of England on a special                deposit; and |
|--------|---|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | E | is                the charge payable by the Lender to the Financial Services Authority                under                the fees rules (but, for this purpose, calculated by the Facility                Agent on                a notional basis as being the average of the fee tariffs within fee-block                Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) of the fees rules, applying any applicable                discount and ignoring any minimum fee required under the fees rules)                and                expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that                Lender. |
|--------|---|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (b) | For                the purposes of this paragraph 2: |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------|

| (i)   | **eligible                liabilities**                and **special                deposit**                have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the                formula                by the Bank of England; |
|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (ii)   | **fees                rules**                means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision                Manual of                the FSA Handbook; and |
|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (iii)   | **tariff                base**                has the meaning given to it in the fees                rules. |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (c) | (i) | In                the application of the formulae, A, B, C and D are included as figures                and                not as percentages, e.g. if A = 0.5% and B = 15%, AB is calculated                as 0.5                x 15. A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B is taken                as                zero. |
|-----|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (ii) | Each                rate calculated in accordance with a formula is, if necessary, rounded                upward to four decimal places. |
|--------|------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (d)  | (i) | Each                Lender must supply to the Facility Agent the information required                by it to                make a calculation of the rate for that Lender. The Facility Agent                may                assume that this information is correct in all                respects. |
|-----------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (ii) | If                a Lender fails to do so, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender's                obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits, special deposits and                the                fees rules are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction                of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction                as its                Facility Office. |
|--------|------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (iii) | The                Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over                or                under compensates any Lender. |
|--------|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

**3.**
**For      a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member      State**

| (a) | The                relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a                Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified                by                that Lender to the Facility Agent as its cost of complying with the                minimum reserve requirements of the European Central                Bank. |
|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (b) | If                a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the                Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such                cost. |
|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

**4.**
**Changes**

|  | (a) | any                change in law or regulation; or |
|--|-----|----------------------------------------------------|

|   | (b) | any                requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services                Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor                authority). |
