SCHEDULE 1

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Bank for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2. On the first day of each Loan (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Bank shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate per annum (the Additional Cost Rate) in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.

3. The Additional Cost Rate will be calculated by the Bank as follows:

AB + C(B — D) + E x 0.01 / (100-(A+C)) per cent. per annum

Where:

A is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

B is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in Clause 4.5 as being the “default rate” payable for the relevant interest period on the Loan.

C is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which the Bank is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Bank on interest bearing Special Deposits.

E is designed to compensate the Bank for amounts payable under the Fees Rules as calculated in accordance with paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

4. For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a) Eligible Liabilities and Special Deposits have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b) 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;

Page 22

(c) 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

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

5. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

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

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

8. The Bank may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower, 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 all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.
