COSTS OF UTILISATION


 


		8.	Interest



 


		8.1	Calculation of interest

		(b)	LIBOR; and



 


		(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any.



 


		8.2	Payment of interest



 


The Borrower shall pay accrued

		8.3	Default interest



 


		8.3.1	If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date,
interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment)
at a rate which, subject to Clause 8.3.2 below, is one per cent higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue
amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest
Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 (Default
Interest) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Agent .



 


		8.3.2	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not
the last day of an Interest Period:



 


		(a)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired
portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and



 


		(b)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be
one per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.



 


		8.3.3	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount
at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.



 




    	34



    	 



    

 


		8.4	Notification of rates of interest

		8.5.1	On the first Utilisation Date, following receipt of confirmation from the Agent that all relevant
conditions precedent have been satisfied pursuant to Clause 4 (Conditions of Utilisation):



 


		(a)	the Original Swap Contract shall be novated and amended so that:



 


		(i)	each Swap Bank is a party to a MLA Swap Contract (and each MLA Swap Contract shall be on the same
terms and for the same notional principal amounts), and



 


		(ii)	the Swap Liabilities in respect thereof are secured by the Transaction Security;



 


		(b)	the Additional Swap Contract and any Further Additional Swap Contract shall be amended so that
the Swap Liabilities in respect thereof are secured by the Transaction Security.

thereafter during the Security Period, the aggregate notional principal amounts of the then current Swap Transactions is equal
to or greater than 90 per cent. of the amount of the Loans.



 


		9.	Interest Periods



 


		9.1	Selection of Interest Periods



 


		9.1.1	The Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan

not later than the Specified Time.

of three Months or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders).
In addition the Borrower may select an Interest Period of less than one Month, if necessary to ensure that the Loan has an Interest
Period ending on a Repayment Date.



 


		9.1.5	An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.



 


		9.1.6	Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date or (if already made) on the
last day of its preceding Interest Period.



 




    	35



    	 



    

 


		9.2	Changes to Interest Periods



 


If an Interest
Period would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date, such Interest Period shall end on such Repayment Date.


 


		9.3	Non-Business Days



 


If an Interest Period would
otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar
month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).


 


		9.4	Consolidation of Loans



 


The first Interest Period applicable
to the second and any subsequent Loan shall end on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Loan then current, whereupon
those Loans will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Loan.

Reference Banks.


 


		10.2	Market disruption



 


		10.2.1	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate
of interest on each Lender's share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum
of:



 


		(a)	the Margin;



 


		(b)	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest
is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that
Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and



 


		(c)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender's participation in the Loan.



 


		10.2.2	In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:



 


		(a)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available
and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars for the relevant Interest
Period; or



 


		(b)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent
receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 35 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost
to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the London Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.



 




    	36



    	 



    

 


Alternative
basis of interest or funding


 


		10.2.3	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the

relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction

the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be
regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

No provision of this Agreement
will:

manner it thinks fit;



 


		(b)	oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available
to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

		(a)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or
recovery, to the Agent;



 


		(b)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering
Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance
with Clause 30 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to
the receipt, recovery or distribution; and



 


		(c)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the
Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines
may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial
payments).



 


		29.2	Redistribution of payments

Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance
Party) in accordance with Clause 30 (Partial payments).


 


		29.3	Recovering Finance Party's rights



 


		29.3.1	On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering

Clause 29.3.1, the Borrower shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately
due and payable.



 


		29.4	Reversal of redistribution



 


If any part of the Sharing
Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:


 


		(a)	each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause
29.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance
Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse
that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is
required to pay); and



 


		(b)	that Recovering Finance Party's rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be
cancelled and the Borrower will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.



 




    	82



    	 



    

 


		29.5	Exceptions



 


		29.5.1	This Clause 29 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after
making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower.



 


		29.5.2	A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which
the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:



 


		(a)	it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and



 


		(b)	that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings
but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

		2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate,
as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs
set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates
(weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage
rate per annum.



 


		3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member
State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice
to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in
all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect
of loans made from that Facility Office.



 


		4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will
be calculated by the Agent as follows:



 





	 	 	   per cent.
Per annum.




 


Where:


 


E is designed
to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most
recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.


 


		5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:



 


		(a)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision
Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance
of deposits;



 


		(b)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity
group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account
any applicable discount rate); and



 


		(c)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance
with, the Fees Rules.



 




    	100



    	 



    

 


		6.	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication
by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services
Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated
for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial
year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.



 


		7.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its
Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to
the date on which it becomes a Lender:

		(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.



 


Each
Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender
or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.



 


		9.	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to
the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each
Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.



 


		10.	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory
Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on all Parties.



 


		11.	The Agent may from time to time, after
consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made
to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank
of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces
