Consequently, for the avoidance of doubt, commitment fees shall start to accrue in accordance with Clause 14.2 (Commitment fee) in respect of such Tranche for the remaining part of the Availability Period from the date of prepayment.

SECTION 5

COSTS OF UTILISATION

11 INTEREST

11.1 Calculation of Interest

The rate of interest on any Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:

(a) the Margin; and

(b) LIBOR.

11.2 Payment of interest

The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on any Loan on each Interest Payment Date (and if the Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, on the date falling at three (3) monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

11.3 Default interest

(a) If any Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document in accordance on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount as well as any Loan from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is two (2) 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 Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 11.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on overdue interest and any Loan will be compounded with the overdue interest at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue interest but will remain immediately due and payable on demand by the Facility Agent.

12 INTEREST PERIODS

12.1 Selection of Interest Periods

(a) The Borrowers may select an Interest Period for a Loan in a Drawdown Request or (once borrowed) in a Selection Notice.

(b) Each Selection Notice is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Facility Agent by the Borrowers not later than 10 a.m. Amsterdam time three (3) Business Days prior to the beginning of the next Interest Period.

(c) If the Borrowers fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Facility Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant Interest Period will, subject to paragraph (e) below, be three (3) months.

32 | 123

(e) The first Interest Period shall commence on the Drawdown Date (being the date which the Pre-positioning Portion is pre-positioned), and each subsequent Interest Period shall commence on the expiry of the preceding Interest Period.

(f) The Interest Periods for any subsequent Drawdown shall each commence on the applicable Drawdown Date, but shall expire at the same time as any current Interest Period, in order to consolidate the Interest Periods for all Tranches.

12.2 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).

Subject to Clause 13.2 (Market disruption), if the applicable LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Bank Quotation but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 12 noon Amsterdam time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

13.2 Market disruption

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

(ii) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business on the date falling two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which 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 any Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(b) In this Agreement, "Market Disruption Event" means:

(i) at or about noon Amsterdam time 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 Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or

33 | 123

(ii) before close of business in Amsterdam on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders that the cost to it of funding its participation in a Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of the applicable LIBOR.

13.3 Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Facility Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(b) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all Parties.

(ii) the date on which the Facility has been fully drawn (subject to paragraph (d) of Clause 9.1 (Disposal or Total Loss)) or cancelled in whole.

(b) The accrued commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter and on the last day of the Availability Period or such other date upon which the Facility is fully drawn or cancelled in whole or, in respect of any part cancellation, on the cancelled amount on the date the cancellation is effective.

15.7 FATCA Deduction

(a) Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

43 | 123

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any of the Borrowers' obligations under the Finance Documents;

If any Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by any of the Borrowers under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment mechanics).

20.8 Additional security
