8. INTEREST
8.1 Calculation of interest
The rate of interest on each Senior Facility G Loan (and any Unpaid Sum) for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:
8.1.1 the Applicable Margin; and
8.1.2 the Base Rate.
8.2 Payment of interest
8.2.1 The Borrower shall pay all accrued interest on the Senior Facility H Loan made to it on each Interest Payment Date, in accordance with the requirements of clause 31 (Payment Mechanics) of the Common Terms Agreement.
8.2.2 Notwithstanding Clause 8.2.1, the Borrower may, by notice to the Facility Agent delivered not less than 10 Business Days' prior to an Interest Payment Date, elect that any accrued interest on a Senior Facility G Loan for the relevant Interest Period which ends on that Interest Payment Date, be capitalised to the Senior Facility G Outstandings on that Interest Payment Date, provided that the Senior Facility G Outstandings plus any capitalised interest in respect of Senior Facility G shall not exceed 120 per cent. of the Senior Facility G Commitment on that Interest Payment Date. If the Senior Facility G Outstandings would exceed the Senior Facility G Commitment on that Interest Payment Date that portion of the accrued interest which would cause the Senior Facility G Outstandings to exceed 120 per cent. of the Senior Facility G Commitment shall be paid on that Interest Payment Date.
8.3 Interest on overdue amounts
8.3.1 Any interest accruing on an Unpaid Sum shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.

8.4 Notification of rates of interest
Without prejudice to the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest calculated at any applicable rate under this Clause 8, the Facility Agent shall notify the Senior Facility G Lenders and the Borrower, as soon as reasonably practicable:
8.4.1 of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement;
8.4.2 when interest commences to accrue at the rate calculated by reference to the Applicable Margin specified in Clause 1.1.1(e) (Definitions).
9. INTEREST PERIODS
9.1 Duration
Each Senior Facility G Loan has successive Interest Periods:
9.1.1 commencing on (and including) the Utilisation Date (in respect of the first Interest Period for that Senior Facility G Loan) or commencing on (and including) an Interest Payment Date; and
9.1.2 ending on (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date.
9.2 Interest Periods for Unpaid Sums
Interest accruing on an Unpaid Sum shall be calculated as if that Unpaid Sum, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan under Senior Facility G for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). For this purpose, the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) may:
9.2.1 select successive Interest Periods of any duration of up to three months; and
9.2.2 determine the appropriate Quotation Day for that Interest Period.
If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of the Senior Facility G Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Senior Facility G Loan, the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to the Senior Facility G Loan.
9.3 No overrunning the Final Maturity Date
If an Interest Period for a Senior Facility G Loan would otherwise extend beyond the Final Maturity Date, it will be shortened so that it ends on the Final Maturity Date. This Clause does not apply to Interest Periods selected under Clause 9.2 above in respect of Unpaid Sums which remain outstanding on the Final Maturity Date.
9.4 Non-Business Days
If an Interest Payment Date would otherwise occur on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Payment Date will instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).
9.5 Consolidation of Loans
If, on an Interest Payment Date, there is more than one Loan outstanding, then on such Interest Payment Date such Loans shall be consolidated and treated as a single Loan.
10. FEES
10.1 Non-refundable Deal Origination Fee
The Borrower shall pay to the Senior Facility G Lender a non-refundable deal origination fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.
10.2 Commitment Fee
10.2.1 The Borrower must pay to the Senior Facility G Lender a commitment fee computed at the rate of 35 per cent. per annum of the Applicable Margin on the Revolving Credit Facility Available Commitment for the Availability Period (the Commitment Fee).
10.2.2 The Commitment Fee is payable on the last Business Day of each quarter during the Availability Period, the last day of the Availability Period, and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective (each a Commitment Fee Payment Date).
10.2.3 The Commitment Fee will be capitalised to the Senior Facility G Outstandings on each Commitment Fee Payment Date.
11. DEFAULT
If an Event of Default occurs, and for so long as it is continuing, the Facility Agent may enforce any of the rights and remedies provided for in clause 23.15 (Acceleration) of the Common Terms Agreement.
12. MARGIN CERTIFICATE
12.1 The Borrower shall supply to the Facility Agent, with each set of financial statements and management accounts delivered pursuant to Clause 20.1.1 and 20.1.2 of the Common Terms Agreement in relation to a Measurement Date, a Margin Certificate setting out (in reasonable detail) computations as to the calculation of the Look Through Leverage Ratio as at the date as at which those financial statements or management accounts (as applicable) were drawn up.

8. INTEREST
8.1 Calculation of interest
The rate of interest on each Senior Facility H Loan (and any Unpaid Sum) for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:
8.1.1 the Applicable Margin; and
8.1.2 the Base Rate.
8.2 Payment of interest
8.2.1 The Borrower shall pay all accrued interest on the Senior Facility H Loan made to it on each Interest Payment Date, in accordance with the requirements of clause 31 (Payment Mechanics) of the Common Terms Agreement.
8.2.2 Notwithstanding Clause 8.2.1, the Borrower may, by notice to the Facility Agent delivered not less than 10 Business Days' prior to an Interest Payment Date, elect that any accrued interest on a Senior Facility H Loan for the relevant Interest Period which ends on that Interest Payment Date, be capitalised to the Senior Facility H Outstandings on that Interest Payment Date, provided that the Senior Facility H Outstandings plus any capitalised interest in respect of Senior Facility H shall not exceed 120 per cent. of the Senior Facility H Commitment on that Interest Payment Date. If the Senior Facility H Outstandings would exceed the Senior Facility H Commitment on that Interest Payment Date that portion of the accrued interest which would cause the Senior Facility H Outstandings to exceed 120 per cent. of the Senior Facility H Commitment shall be paid on that Interest Payment Date.
8.3 Interest on overdue amounts
8.3.1 Any interest accruing on an Unpaid Sum shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.
8.3.2 Default interest (if unpaid) arising on any Unpaid Sum will be compounded with that Unpaid Sum on the last day of each calendar month, but will remain immediately due and payable.
8.4 Notification of rates of interest
Without prejudice to the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest calculated at any applicable rate under this Clause 8, the Facility Agent shall notify the Senior Facility H Lenders and the Borrower, as soon as reasonably practicable:
8.4.1 of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement;
8.4.2 when interest commences to accrue at the rate calculated by reference to the Applicable Margin specified in Clause 1.1.1(d)(Definitions).
9. INTEREST PERIODS
9.1 Duration
Each Senior Facility H Loan has successive Interest Periods:
9.1.1 commencing on (and including) the Utilisation Date (in respect of the first Interest Period for that Senior Facility H Loan) or commencing on (and including) an Interest Payment Date; and
9.1.2 ending on (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date.
9.2 Interest Periods for Unpaid Sums
Interest accruing on an Unpaid Sum shall be calculated as if that Unpaid Sum, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan under Senior Facility H for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). For this purpose, the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) may:
9.2.1 select successive Interest Periods of any duration of up to three months; and
9.2.2 determine the appropriate Quotation Day for that Interest Period.
If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of the Senior Facility H Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Senior Facility H Loan, the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to the Senior Facility H Loan.
9.3 No overrunning the Final Maturity Date
If an Interest Period for a Senior Facility H Loan would otherwise extend beyond the Final Maturity Date, it will be shortened so that it ends on the Final Maturity Date. This Clause does not apply to Interest Periods selected under Clause 9.2 above in respect of Unpaid Sums which remain outstanding on the Final Maturity Date.

If an Interest Payment Date would otherwise occur on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Payment Date will instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).
