| (a) | By                  entering into this Agreement, the Parties have assumed that interest                  payments to be made under this Agreement at the rate set out in                  this                  Agreement are and will not become subject to Swiss Anticipatory                  Tax                  *(Verrechnungssteuer).*                  Therefore, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the rate                  of interest                  as determined under this Agreement constitutes a minimum rate of                  interest                  which, if Swiss Anticipatory Tax should apply, shall be adjusted                  so that                  the amount of interest payment due from that Borrower shall be                  increased                  to an amount which (after making the deduction of Swiss Anticipatory                  Tax)                  leaves the Finance Parties entitled to such interest payment with                  an                  amount equal to the payment which would have been due if                  no |

| (a) | Each                payment received by the Agent or, as the case may be, a Swingline                Agent                under this Agreement for another Party shall, subject to paragraphs                (b)                and (c)                below,                be made available by the Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant                Swingline Agent to that Party by payment (on the date of value of                receipt                and in the currency and funds of receipt) to its account with such                bank in                the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency                (or, in the case of euros, in the principal financial centre of a                Participating Member State or London) as it                may notify to the Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant Swingline                Agent for this purpose by not less than five Business Days' prior                notice. |

| (b) | The                  Agent or, as the case may be, a Swingline Agent may apply any amount                  received by it from an Obligor in or towards payment (on the date                  and in                  the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from an Obligor                  under                  this Agreement or in or towards the purchase of any amount of any                  currency                  to be so applied. |

| (c) | Where                  a sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Agent or, as the                  case may                  be, a Swingline Agent for the account of another Party, the Agent                  or, as                  the case may be, the relevant Swingline Agent is not obliged to                  pay that                  sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually                  received                  that sum. The Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant Swingline                  Agent                  may, however, assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance                  with                  this Agreement and, in reliance on that assumption, make available                  to that                  Party a corresponding amount. If the sum has not been made available                  but                  the Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant Swingline Agent                  has paid a                  corresponding amount to another Party, that Party shall forthwith                  on                  demand refund the corresponding amount to the Agent or, as the                  case may                  be, the relevant Swingline Agent together with interest on that                  amount                  from the date of payment to the date of receipt, calculated at                  a rate                  reasonably determined by the Agent or, as the case may be, the                  relevant                  Swingline Agent to reflect its cost of                  funds. |
