Whenever this Agreement states that principal payments on account of a Loan are to be allocated or applied to or against the Asset-Specific Loan Balance of a specific item of Eligible Collateral, the Asset-Specific Loan Balance of such item of Eligible Collateral shall be deemed reduced accordingly by the amount of the principal payments so applied (converted into the Base Currency using the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange as at the day which was one (1) Business Day prior to the day on which such principal payments on account of such Loan are actually so allocated and applied).

period in excess of fourteen (14) days unless the Agent and Custodian have approved such release for a longer period of time; and

zero or such greater amount as determined in good faith, but at the sole discretion of, the Agent following the failure of Borrower to deliver the Collateral File associated with such item of Eligible Collateral to the Custodian within five (5) Business Days after the Funding Date associated with the Loan made in respect of such item of Eligible Collateral.

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, such amounts paid to the Agent shall be applied in reduction of the

SECTION 5

COSTS OF LOAN

INTEREST

9.1	Calculation of Interest

The Agent shall calculate the rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period which will be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:

(a)

the Applicable Margin;

(b)

LIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in euro, EURIBOR, plus;

(c)

Mandatory Costs, if any.

9.2	Payment of Interest

On each relevant Interest Payment Date the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan in respect of the preceding Interest Period.

9.3	Default Interest

(a)

If an Obligor 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 paragraph (b) below, is two 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) (the "Post Default Rate of Interest"). Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b)

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.

9.4	Notification of rates of interest

The Agent shall at the request of a Lender or the Borrower notify the requesting party of the determination of the rate of interest applicable to any Interest Period under this Agreement.

9.5	Non-Business Days

10.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

10.1	Absence of quotations

Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation on or about 11:00 am London time on the Quotation Day, LIBOR, or if applicable,

-35-

XXXXXXX shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

10.2	Market disruption

(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan then the Borrower shall be notified promptly thereof by the Agent and the rate of interest shall be the sum of:

(i)

the Applicable Margin;

(ii)

the rate notified to the Agent by each Lender of such Loan as soon as practizcable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of the correct Interest Period in respect of such Loan, 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

(iii)

the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Xxxxxx's participation in a Loan.

(b)

Promptly after determination of the rate of interest in relation to a Loan in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 10.2, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such rate of interest whereupon the Borrower shall either: (i) proceed with the Loan at the rate of interest provided for in this Agreement; (ii) prepay the Loan in relation to which the rate of interest in paragraph (a) of Clause 10.2 was determined; or (iii) revoke the Request for Borrowing in relation of which the rate of interest was determined in paragraph (a) of Clause 10.2.

(c)

In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

(i)

at 11:00 am, London 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 Agent to determine LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or

(ii)

the Lender determines in its discretion that before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for calculating interest the Agent receives notifications from a Lender that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR.

10.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing to 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 the Agent and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

(c)

During the period of negotiations set forth in paragraph (a) above the rate of interest shall be either:

-36-

(i)

the rate of interest on such Loan during the last Interest Period preceding the Market Disruption Event; or

(ii)

if no interest rate existed in respect of such Loan prior to the Market Disruption Event then the rate of interest calculated in accordance with Clause 10.1 above.

Following the determination of the rate of interest in accordance with paragraph (a) above such rate of interest shall be deemed to be the rate of interest in respect of such Interest Period, replacing the default rate of interest stipulated under this paragraph (c) and the amount paid, or overpaid, by the Borrower to the Agent in respect of the difference between the two such interest rates, if any, shall forthwith be paid to the Agent or Borrower as the case may be.

11.

FEES

The Exit Fee contemplated by this Clause 11.2 shall be waived by the Agent in connection with any voluntary or mandatory pre-payment in whole as a result of a corresponding payment of amounts of a principal nature arising from the Exit Fee Related Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents related thereto.

(b)

In circumstances where Exit Fee Related Collateral has been released and the Borrower has duly paid to the Agent the Exit Fee required by paragraph (a) of this Clause 11.2, the Agent hereby agrees that if a securitisation of the Exit Fee Related Collateral whose refinancing or proposed refinancing has given rise to the relevant prepayment or re-payment of such Loan is not consummated within six (6) calendar months following the date of the relevant repayment or pre-payment then the Agent will refund to the Borrower the related Exit Fee on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(c)

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

(ii)

SECTION 8

CHANGES TO PARTIES

21.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

21.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lender

A Lender (the "Existing Lender") may not, except as noted in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Clause 21.1, and subject to the consent of the Borrower, assign any of its rights; or transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other person (the "New Lender"). Notwithstanding the aforementioned a Lender may without the consent of the Borrower:

(a)

sell participations to one or more persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement provided, however, that (i) the Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Agent in connection with lender's rights and obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and Finance Documents.

(b)

assign, transfer or otherwise convey its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate (meeting the definition of Institutional Investor and Institutional Owner), an Institutional Owner or Institutional Investor any of which is in the business of making loans similar to the Loans, provided that such Affiliate, Institutional Investor or Institutional Owner shall execute and deliver the document required under Clause 21.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer).

(a)

The consent of the Borrower required under paragraph (a) of Clause 21.1 (Assignments and Transfers by the Lender) to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b)

An assignment will only be effective on:

(i)

receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Initial Lender; and

(ii)

performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

-63-

(c)

A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 21.4 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

(d)

If:

(i)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or a Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased costs),

then the New Lender or a Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or a Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

21.3	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a)

Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to the Lender for:

(i)

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii)

the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)

the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv)

the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)

The Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii)

will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Loan is in force.

-64-

(c)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)

accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 21; or

(ii)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

21.4	Procedure for transfer

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 21.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Transfer Certificate shall be substantially in the form set out at Schedule 5 to this Agreement and shall (i) indicate the category of Qualifying Lender that the person beneficially entitled to interest payable to the New Lender in respect of an advance under a Finance Document is (the "Beneficial Owner"); and (ii) in the case of a Beneficial Owner that is a Qualifying Lender within the meaning of paragraph (d) of the definition of Qualifying Lender set out in Clause 12.1 above, be accompanied by a copy of the notification it is required to make under Section 246(5)(a) of the Irish Taxes Act to the Irish Revenue Commissioners and the notification it is required to make under Section 246(5)(a) of the Irish Taxes Act to the relevant Obligor.

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c)

On the Transfer Date:

(i)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents the Borrower and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and Obligations");

(ii)

the Borrower and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Borrower and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and the Existing Lender;

-65-

(iii)

the Agent, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original the Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

(iv)

Servicing

(a)

The Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Collateral to be maintained in conformity with accepted and prudent servicing practices in the industry for the same type of collateral as the Collateral and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing the Borrower provides for mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and equity interests which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default; or (ii) the transfer of servicing approved by the Borrower.

(b)

If the Collateral is serviced by the Borrower, (i) the Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the Security Trustee is the assignee by way of security of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Collateral (the "Servicing Records"). The Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to the Lender or its designee (including the Custodian) at the Security Trustee's request.

(c)

If the Collateral is serviced by a third party servicer (such third party servicer, "the Servicer"), the Borrower (i) shall provide a copy of the servicing agreement to the Security Trustee and the Agent, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, together with all addendums thereto (collectively, the "Servicing Agreement"); and (ii) shall provide a Servicer Notice to the Servicer substantially in the form of Schedule 16 (Servicer Notice) (a "Servicer Notice") and shall cause the Servicer to acknowledge and agree to the same. Any successor or assignee of a Servicer shall be approved in writing by the Agent and shall acknowledge and agree to a Servicer Notice prior to such successor’s assumption of servicing obligations with respect to any or all of the Collateral.

(d)

If the servicer of the Collateral is the Borrower or the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Borrower, the Borrower shall provide to the Agent and the Security Trustee a letter from the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee may terminate any Servicing Agreement and in any event transfer servicing to the Security Trustee's designee, at no cost or expense to the Security Trustee, it being agreed that the Borrower will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing

-82-

Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Security Trustee.

(e)

In the event the Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing the Collateral, the Borrower shall permit the Security Trustee and the Agent, upon advance written notice to the Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no notice shall be required), from time to time to inspect the Borrower’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying the Security Trustee and the Agent that the Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Collateral as provided in this Agreement.

(f)

Irrespective of whether the Servicer is the Borrower or a third party servicer, the Borrower undertakes to procure that any monies received in respect of or derived from the Collateral will be paid forthwith into a Borrower Bank Account.

33.2	Periodic Due Diligence Review

The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent and the Security Trustee has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews (a "Due Diligence Review") with respect to the Collateral and the manner in which they were originated, for the purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days) prior notice to the Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no notice shall be required), the Agent and the Security Trustee or its authorised representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Collateral Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession or under the control of the Borrower and/or the Custodian. The Borrower also shall make available to the Agent and the Security Trustee a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Collateral Files and the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders may make the Loans to the Borrower based solely upon the information provided by the Borrower to the Agent and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that the Agent, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Collateral Files securing the Secured Obligations, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and new Appraisals from a valuer and in a form each reasonably acceptable to the Borrower on the related Encumbered Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Eligible Collateral. The Agent may underwrite the Eligible Collateral itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. The Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Agent and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing the Agent and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Eligible Collateral in the possession, or under the control, of the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees that the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent and the Security Trustee for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent and the Security Trustee in connection with the their respective activities pursuant to this Clause 33.2. Provided that the Borrower shall not reimburse the Agent in

(g)

the Agent makes no representations or warranties with respect to any Asset Value determinations or other information provided to the Borrower, the Agent nor the Lender shall be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of any

-84-

(h)

No indication is provided as to the Agent’s expectation of the future value of such item of Eligible Collateral.

(i)

Valuation indications and other information provided to the Borrower in connection Clause 5 (Procedure for Loans) are to be used by the Borrower for the sole purpose of determining whether to proceed in accordance with Clause 5 (Procedure for Loans) and for no other purpose.
