3 give the Borrower not more than 5 Business Days prior written notice of
cancellation but BoS need not give such prior notice where it reasonably
determines that its interests are likely to be materially adversely affected.2.3.2
    
    If BoS wishes to vary the terms upon which the Facilities are to continue
BoS shall agree the revised terms with the Borrowers.2.3.3
    
    BoS shall review the Facilities annually on the Review Date. If agreement
is not reached between BoS and the Borrowers prior to close of business on the Review
Date then BoS may notify the Borrower in writing that the Facilities have ceased to be
available provided that BoS will give the Borrower not less than 60 days prior written
notice of cancellation. BoS shall not be obliged to permit any further utilisation of
the Guarantee Facility during such notice period unless cash cover acceptable to BoS
is provided by the Borrowers prior to the issue of any Guarantees requested or, prior
to any utilisation of the Payment Systems required by the Borrowers during such notice
period. Such cash cover shall be equal to 100% of the face value of any Guarantee to
be issued or, in the case of the Payment Systems, the Borrowers shall provide such
cleared funds in advance in an amount reasonably determined by BoS as being sufficient
to enable such proposed utilisation.2.3.4

terms applying immediately prior to the relevant Review Date.2.3.5
    
    In some circumstances BoS may cancel the availability of any of the
Facilities and, subject to clause 2.3.6, as appropriate may demand payment (other than
in respect of the Guarantees where a demand has not been made by a beneficiary under
of a relevant Guarantee) and/or demand cash cover. This may happen if BoS considers
that:-
 (a)
    
    any of the terms or conditions of this letter or any other
facility letter in force from time to time between a Borrower and BoS have
been breached; or(b)
    
    the financial condition of any Borrower or any guarantor of
any Borrower has altered in any material adverse way; or(c)
    
    the Facilities were agreed on the basis of incorrect or
incomplete information from the Borrowers which is likely to have a material
adverse effect; or(d)
    
    either (i) control of any Borrower or any of its subsidiary
companies passes to any person or persons (whether acting individually or in
concert) who is or are not a shareholder in it immediately prior to the date
of this letter or (ii) there is a Change of Control, in each case without the
prior written consent of BoS.
 2.3.6
    
    Upon cancellation under this letter and providing the Borrowers have failed
to meet any of the key performance indicators under clause 6 BoS shall also be
entitled to demand immediate payment and/or cash cover of 100% of the face value of
the Guarantees issued by BoS under the Guarantee Facility to be lodged as security for
the exposure of BoS thereunder.

    Guarantees3.1.
    
    On receipt of a written request (in the form required by BoS) by a Borrower, BoS will issue
Guarantees (up to in aggregate the Guarantee Limit) on its behalf and in its name or in the
name of any other Subsidiary or Affiliate. Before BoS issues a Guarantee on behalf of a
Borrower:
 3.1.1
    
    BoS must have approved the terms of the Guarantee; and3.1.2
    
    BoS is satisfied that it holds a counter indemnity from the Borrower in a
form acceptable to it or in the alternative the Borrower shall have executed and
delivered to BoS a counter indemnity in a form acceptable to BoS agreeing to indemnify
BoS against any claim under the Guarantee and authorising BoS to debit the amount of a
claim to any of such Borrowers accounts.
 3.2.
    
    A charge of zero point six zero per cent (0.60%) per annum of BoS outstanding liabilities
(whether actual or contingent) from time to time under the Guarantees shall be payable by the
Borrowers in respect of Guarantees issued by BoS on its behalf. This charge will be payable
quarterly in arrears on such dates as may be notified by BoS to the Parent up to and including
the date upon which the Guarantee is returned to BoS for cancellation.4.
    
    Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts4.1.
    
    A Borrower may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts (up to in aggregate the FFEC
Limit) with BoS for the purchase or sale of any freely convertible currency and with a
maturity period of up to thirty six months. For the purpose of calculating utilisations of
this component of the Facilities, BoS will calculate the aggregate exposure of BoS in respect
of each forward foreign exchange contract entered into with BoS.4.2.
    
    Each Borrower must ensure that it makes sufficient funds (either in Sterling or in the
appropriate foreign currency) available to meet its obligations under each of the forward
foreign exchange contracts entered into by it in terms of this letter as and when they fall
due. In the event that a Borrower fails to do so, it shall be liable to BoS in respect of the
lesser of (1) the Sterling equivalent of the amount such Borrower was due to pay BoS on
completion of the relevant forward foreign exchange contract and (2) the Sterling equivalent
of the amount which BoS would have received by completing that contract at the prevailing spot
rate of exchange for the relevant currency on the date of completion of the contract.4.3.
    
    Whenever the Sterling equivalent of any currency amount requires to be calculated it shall
be calculated at the BoS spot rate of exchange for such currency on the applicable day.5.
    
    TerminationEach utilisation of the Facilities referred to in this letter and the Payment Systems shall
immediately cease to be available subject to clauses 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 above if BoS makes a
demand for payment under clauses 2.3.5 or gives written notice to the Parent that the
Facilities are withdrawn.6.
    
    Key Performance IndicatorsAs long as the Facilities remain available (and thereafter for as long as is necessary

5 for the purposes of assessing satisfaction with or otherwise of the requirements of clause
2.3.6) the Borrowers will provide financial information, including the Financial
Statements, the quarterly management accounts and the quarterly certification required
under Schedule 4, evidencing their performance against the key performance indicators set
out in Schedule 7. In the event of such performance not remaining within any of the target
ratios set out in Schedule 7, BoS reserves the right to either cancel and withdraw the
Facilities or renegotiate the basis on which the Facilities should be made available
including without limitation the right to require cash cover under clause 2.3.6.7.
    
    Security
 7.1
    
    The amounts outstanding under the Facilities will be secured by the Security
Documents.7.2
    
    The Borrowers will enter into such further Security Documents in favour of
BoS as BoS may reasonably require from time to time to ensure that BoS continues to
hold security at all times while the Facilities remain available which represents in
aggregate not less than 80% of consolidated turnover and net assets as determined by
the most recent Financial Statements of the Group and all such Security Documents will
secure the Facilities and any other money due, owing or incurred to BoS by the
Borrowers.
 8.
    
    Financial InformationThe Borrowers will supply to BoS the financial information specified in the Schedule 4.9.
    
    Payments9.1
    
    All payments by any Borrower to BoS (being a Qualifying Lender) under this letter shall be
free and without deduction of tax unless such Borrower is required by law to make a payment
subject to deduction or withholding of tax, in which case the amount payable by such Borrower
will be sufficiently increased to ensure that BoS receives and retains a net sum equal to that
which it would have received and retained were no deduction or withholding made. If BoS
subsequently receives a tax credit which is referable to the increased payment and which
enhances its position, then it will reimburse the relevant Borrower sufficient to redress the
position up to the amount received so long as by so doing it does not prejudice receipt or
retention of the tax credit.9.2
    
    Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 9.1 if in relation to BoS circumstances arise which
would result in any deduction, withholding or payment of the nature referred to in clause 9.1
then without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying BoSs rights, BoS shall use
reasonable endeavours to transfer the Facility to another of its or any relevant BoS Group
offices in the UK not affected by the circumstances having the results set out in clause 9.1
and shall otherwise consider taking such reasonable steps as may be open to it to mitigate the
effects of such circumstances.9.3
    
    All payments, whether of commission or otherwise will be paid to BoS at the relevant
Borrowers branch unless BoS otherwise directs and shall be in cleared funds in the relevant
currency. If BoS receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then
due and payable under the BoS Documents, BoS shall apply that payment towards the obligations
of the Group Companies under the BoS Documents

##### 



6 in such order as BoS considers appropriate and any such appropriation shall override any
instructions by any Group Company.9.4
    
    All payments to be made by any Borrower under the BoS Documents shall be calculated and be
made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.9.5
    
    All sums of commission will accrue on a daily basis and be calculated on the basis of a year
of 365 days (in the case of any amount in Sterling) or 360 days (in the case of any amount in
any other currency) and, in any such case, for the actual number of days elapsed. Commission
shall continue to accrue on sums due following a decree or judgement as well as before it, and
at the same rate.9.6
    
    Any determination by BoS of any amount whether of commission or charges or an applicable
interest rate or otherwise shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on the Borrowers.9.7
    
    Where the due date for payment of any amount under any BoS Document is not a Business Day
then (without affecting subsequent payment dates) actual payment will be required on the next
Business Day. Each Borrower agrees that any monies from time to time standing to its credit
on any account which is not designated a trust or client account (whether current, deposit,
loan or of any other nature whatsoever) with BoS may be retained as cover for and/or applied
by BoS at any time (whether on or before or after the expiry of any fixed or minimum period
for which such monies may have been deposited) in or towards payment or satisfaction of any
monies or liabilities which are due, owing or incurred by such Borrower to BoS in any manner,
whether present or future, actual or contingent, joint or several, whether incurred as
principal or surety (or guarantor or cautioner) or in any other way whatsoever.9.8
    
    If BoS exercises any rights in respect of any monies as referred to in clause 9.6 (including,
without limitation, any rights of set-off, accounting retention or similar rights) in respect
of any liability of a Borrower and that liability or any part of it is in a different currency
from any credit balance against which BoS seeks to exercise its rights, BoS may use the
currency of the credit balance to purchase an amount in the currency of the liability at the
then prevailing BoS spot rate of exchange and to pay out of the credit balance all costs,
charges and expenses incurred by BoS in connection with that purchase.9.9
    
    BoS shall not be liable for any loss of interest caused by the determination before maturity
of any deposits or any loss caused by the fluctuation in any exchange rate of which any
currency is bought or sold by BoS.9.10
    
    If a Borrower fails to pay any amount due to BoS in Sterling but makes such payment in
another currency, the relevant Borrower shall indemnify BoS against the full cost incurred by
BoS (including all costs, charges and expenses) of converting that payment into Sterling.9.11
    
    The obligations of each Borrower in relation to the Facilities are joint and several.10.
    
    Indemnity10.1
    
    Each Borrower will at all times on demand indemnify BoS against all Indemnified Events and
the Borrowers will pay to BoS the amount of all payments made (whether directly or by way of
set-off, counterclaim or otherwise) and all losses, reasonable costs or expenses suffered or
incurred from time to time by BoS arising under any

addressed to it at that address,
 and, if a particular department or officer is specified as part of the address details set
out in clause 10.2 above, if addressed to that department or officer.11.5
    
    Any communication or document to be made or delivered to BoS will be effective only when
actually received by BoS and then only if it is expressly marked for the attention of the
department or officer identified with its name above (or any substitute department or officer
as BoS shall specify for this purpose). Any communication or document made or delivered to

    BoS may rely upon any communication by telephone or fax purporting to be on behalf of any
Borrower by anyone previously notified to BoS by the Borrowers as being authorised to do so,
without enquiry by BoS as to authority or identity unless BoS shall have received not less
than 15 Business Days prior written notice of revocation of such authorisation. The Borrowers
agree to indemnify BoS against any liability incurred or sustained by BoS as a result.

any time exceed £3,000,000 and furthermore any such Non UK Group Company may grant any
