(a) | by reason of circumstances affecting the London Inter-bank market generally, reasonable and adequate means do not or will not exist for ascertaining under clause 5.2 a rate of interest applicable to a Drawing, the Facility or any part of it; or |
- 12 -
(b) | deposits in dollars are not in the ordinary course of business available in the London Inter-bank market for a period equal to the forthcoming Interest Period in amounts sufficient to fund a Drawing or the Facility; |
the Bank shall forthwith notify the Borrower, and
(i) | no further Drawings shall be made or extended while such circumstances continue to exist and, at the Borrower’s irrevocable election (by notice to the Bank), the Facility may be cancelled; |
(ii) | unless within thirty (30) days of the giving of the notice, the Borrower and the Bank arrive, by negotiation in good faith, at an alternative basis acceptable to the Borrower and the Bank for continuing the Facility (and any alternative basis agreed in writing shall be retroactive to and effective from the commencement of the relevant Interest Period), the Borrower shall prepay without penalty to the Bank the Drawings within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the thirty (30) days period in accordance with clause 10.5, save that the accrued interest shall be payable to the Bank at a rate equal to the Margin plus the amounts determined by the Bank, and notified to the Borrower, as being the cost to the Bank of continuing the Facility during the two periods referred to in this paragraph; and |
(iii) | while any agreed alternative basis is in force, the Bank shall periodically (but at least monthly) determine whether circumstances are such that the basis is no longer necessary; and if the Bank so determines, it shall forthwith notify the Borrower and that basis shall cease to be effective on a date specified by the Bank. |
10.4 Prepayment: Where the Borrower has given notice under clause 10.2 to prepay the Drawings:
(a) the Borrower shall, if required by the Bank, provide the Bank with satisfactory evidence that all authorisations necessary to the prepayment have been unconditionally obtained;
(b) the amount of the prepayment shall become due and payable on expiry of the period specified in the notice to the Bank; and
(c) the Facility shall be cancelled if so irrevocably elected by the Borrower pursuant to clause 10.2(c)(i).

PAYMENTS AND TAXES

- 13 -
11.2 By the Bank: All amounts to be advanced by the Bank to the Borrower shall be remitted in dollars not later than 10.00 a.m. (New York time) on the relevant day to such account with a bank in New York City as the Borrower may have notified the Bank in the relevant Drawing Notice.

(a) ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required;
(b) forthwith pay to the Bank such additional amount so that the net amount received by the Bank will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made;
(c) pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities within the period for payment permitted by applicable law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant to this sub-clause); and
(d) furnish to the Bank as soon as practicable after the period for payment permitted by applicable law (and in any case not later than thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower in respect of which the Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding as aforesaid), the original or a certified true copy of an official receipt of the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts deducted or withheld as aforesaid.
11.4 Default Interest: If the Borrower fails to pay any amount in accordance with this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay interest in dollars on that amount from the time of default up to the time of actual payment (as well after as before judgement) at the rate per annum which is two per cent (2%) above the rate (as determined by the Bank), for a deposit of an amount comparable to the defaulted amount, offered to the Bank in the London Inter-bank market, for such period as the Bank may from time to time select, at or about 11.00 a.m. (New York, USA time) on the Business Day succeeding that on which the Bank becomes aware of the default for value two (2) Business Days later.
Interest as herein provided shall accrue daily on the basis of a 360-day year from and including the first day to the day preceding the last day of each period for which a rate of interest is determined as aforesaid and shall be due and payable by the Borrower at the end of each such period. So long as the default continues, this rate shall be calculated on a similar basis at the end of each period selected by the Bank and interest payable under this sub-clause which is unpaid at the end of each such period shall thereafter itself bear interest at the rates provided in this sub-clause.
11.5 Date: If any payment would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day or, if that Business Day falls in the following month of the year, on the preceding Business Day Provided that if any repayment pursuant to clause 6 would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such repayment shall be due on the preceding Business Day.
