--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II General Provisions governing Overdraft and Contingent Liability Facilities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. USE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1. Overdraft facility
An overdraft facility may be used to borrow money on current account, and if
agreed explicitly, to enter into contingent liabilities with a maximum term of
one year, such as those arising from the issuance of guarantees, the issuance of
letters of credit, the discounting of bills and any other purposes stated in the
Credit Agreement.
1.2 Contingent liability facility
A contingent liability facility may be used for the purpose stated in the Credit
Agreement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Exposure/unused part of facility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 Overdraft facility
The limit of an overdraft facility shall always be reduced by the obligations of
the Borrower to ABN AMRO on account of:
- the current account debit balance (including accrued interest and fees);
- contingent liabilities such as those arising out of obligations ABN AMRO
has undertaken against third parties for the account and at the risk of
the Borrower, unless such obligations can be charged to a contingent
liability facility granted to the Borrower.
If the Borrower maintains various current accounts, the current account debit
balance shall be the net amount of the combined debit and credit balances
(including accrued interest and fees) of such current accounts. The unused part
of the overdraft facility remaining after deduction of the above exposures shall
be available to the Borrower.
2.2 Contingent liability facility
The limit of a contingent liability facility shall always be reduced by the
obligations of the Borrower to ABN AMRO arising out of the use of such facility
in conformity with the purpose stated in the Credit Agreement insofar as such
obligations are not yet due and payable. The unused part of the contingent
liability facility remaining after deduction of such exposure shall be available
to the Borrower.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Interest and fees
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Calculation basis of debit interest
In calculating interest on debit balances in Netherlands guilders up to the
agreed limit of the overdraft facility, ABN AMRO shall apply a base rate. Until
further notice the ABN AMRO base rate shall be the promissory note discount rate
as determined from time to time by the Netherlands central bank (De
Nederlandsche Bank N.V.) plus a temporary surcharge, if applicable, subject to
the minimum base rate stated in the Credit Agreement. The base rate shall be
increased by an individual margin stated in the Credit Agreement. As soon as the
Netherlands central bank changes the promissory note discount rate, or ABN AMRO
changes the surcharge or alters the composition or method of calculation of the
base rate, the debit interest rate shall be adjusted accordingly. ABN AMRO shall
announce changes in the debit interest surcharge as well as any alterations in
the composition or method of calculation of the base rate in at least three
national daily newspapers with a large circulation in the Netherlands. Interest
on debit balances in currencies other than the Netherlands guilder shall be
payable at a rate to be determined by ABN AMRO.
3.2 Interest on overdrafts exceeding the agreed limit
Without prejudice to the provisions in 2.1 above, compensation to be determined
by ABN AMRO shall be payable in respect of the amount by which the debit balance
of the Borrower exceeds the limit of the overdraft facility.
3.3 Payment of debit interest and fees
Debit interest and fees payable by the Borrower shall be charged to his current
account as follows:
- debit interest once every quarter;
- fees at the times to be specified by ABN AMRO.
If the Borrower maintains various current accounts with ABN AMRO, ABN AMRO shall
have the right to charge debit interest and fees to one of these accounts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Cancellation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the Borrower and ABN AMRO may cancel an overdraft facility and contingent
liability facility at any time.
7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III General Provisions governing Loans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Availability
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following shall apply in addition to the provisions in 2 of the General
Provisions:
1. ABN AMRO shall not be obliged to make the loan amount available if any of the
events mentioned in 5 below occurs;
2. If the amount of the loan shall not have been fully drawn by the agreed
ultimate drawing date, ABN AMRO shall in its discretion be entitled without any
further instructions from the Borrower to make the undrawn part of the loan
available to the Borrower as of that date.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Calculation of Interest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed in any month.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Refixing of Interest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 If a fixed interest rate has been agreed, ABN AMRO shall not later than two
weeks prior to an agreed interest refixing date notify the Borrower in writing
of the proposed - fixed or floating - interest rate for the subsequent fixed
rate period. Agreement shall be reached not later than one week prior to the
interest refixing date. If the Borrower shall fail to respond to said notice
from ABN AMRO not later than one week prior to the interest refixing date, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have opted for the interest rate applicable to the
shortest fixed rate period stated in said notice. If ABN AMRO shall fail to give
said notice within the stated period, it shall nevertheless be at liberty to do
so at a later date. ABN AMRO shall then offer the Borrower either the interest
rate which it would have quoted on the basis of its prevailing interest rates
had such notice been given in time or, if this should be lower, the interest
rate it is able to quote on the basis of its interest rates prevailing at the
time of such later notice.
3.2 If a floating interest rate has been agreed, the interest rate accepted by
the Borrower during the first two months of a calendar quarter shall apply until
the first day of the subsequent calendar quarter, and the interest rate accepted
by the Borrower during the third month of a calendar quarter shall apply until
the first day of the second following calendar quarter. Thereafter this interest
rate, or the interest rate subsequently refixed in accordance with the
provisions below, shall always apply for a period of three months. During the
remainder of the term of the loan, ABN AMRO shall refix the interest rate
whenever, in its opinion, having regard to money and capital market
developments, the interest rate as at the fifteenth calendar day in the third
month of any calendar quarter - or if ABN AMRO is not open for business on that
day, the interest rate on the preceding business day - differs 0.25% or more
from the interest rate then applicable pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The
interest rate so refixed shall become effective from the first day of the
subsequent calendar quarter. ABN AMRO shall notify such refixing to the Borrower
in writing at least eleven days prior to the first day of the calendar quarter.
If the Borrower does not agree to the refixed interest rate, the Borrower shall
inform ABN AMRO not later than one week prior to the interest refixing date. If
the Borrower shall fail to respond to the written notice from ABN AMRO not later
than one week prior to the interest refixing date, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have agreed to the interest rate quoted. If the Borrower shall so request
not later than two weeks prior to the first day of the subsequent calendar
quarter or on an interest refixing, ABN AMRO shall as from the first day of the
subsequent calendar quarter convert such floating rate loan into a fixed rate
loan at ABN AMRO's interest rate then prevailing.
3.3 In the case of a loan denominated in a currency other than the Netherlands
guilder, the Borrower shall contact ABN AMRO by telephone before 10.00 a.m.
(Amsterdam time) two business days prior to the agreed interest refixing date.
Business day shall mean a day on which banking institutions in the Netherlands
and the country where the currency in which the loan is denominated is the
national unit, are open for business. During, or immediately after such
telephone call, ABN AMRO shall quote the interest rate for the subsequent fixed
rate period. If ABN AMRO and the Borrower then reach agreement, ABN AMRO shall
confirm the interest rate to the Borrower in writing. If the Borrower shall fail
to contact ABN AMRO before the time indicated above, ABN AMRO shall have the
right to refix the interest rate on the basis of a one-year fixed rate period.
3.4 If ABN AMRO and the Borrower shall fail, or shall be deemed to have failed,
to reach agreement on the interest rate for and the length of the subsequent
fixed rate period, the Borrower shall be obliged on such interest refixing date
to pay all sums due and owing to ABN AMRO under the Credit Agreement. The
Borrower shall not be liable to pay compensation for losses sustained and income
lost in respect of such early repayment.
3.5 Upon the expiration of a period of not less than three months from the date
of the Credit Agreement, ABN AMRO shall notwithstanding the above provisions be
entitled at its discretion to refix the agreed interest rate if;
a. the cost to ABN AMRO of funding or continuing to fund the loan is above the
level at the time when the Credit Agreement was entered into, and
b. such increase is the consequence of credit restrictions, changes in capital
adequacy requirements or other rules and regulations (including guidelines the
observance of which is requested) of the Netherlands central bank or of Dutch,
foreign or international monetary authorities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Early repayment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 The Borrower shall only be entitled to make early repayments on loans in
Netherlands guilders (NLG) without compensation for losses sustained and income
lost provided all the following conditions are complied with:
a. the Borrower has given ABN AMRO at least one month's prior notice by
registered letter, indicating the amount and date of the intended early
repayment;
b. the early repayment shall coincide with a contractual repayment date or an
agreed interest payment date;
c. the prepaid mount shall be at least NLG 1,000 or a multiple thereof, subject
to a maximum in any one calendar year of 5% of the original principal amount of
the loan;
d. the Borrower shall prove to ABN AMRO's satisfaction that he is making such
early repayment out of his own resources. Early repayments in respect of loans
denominated in currencies other than the Netherlands guilder shall always be
subject to payment by the Borrower of compensation as determined in accordance
with the provisions in 4.2 below.
4.2 If the Borrower wishes to make an early repayment in a manner other or an
amount higher than indicated in 4.1, he shall be liable to pay ABN AMRO
compensation for losses sustained and income lost together with such early
repayment.
8
In the case of a floating interest rate being applicable, this compensation
shall be 1% of the amount prepaid in a manner other than agreed or in excess of
the maximum agreed. In the case of a fixed interest rate being applicable, this
compensation shall be the difference between:
a. the aggregate of the present values of the interest payments which pursuant
to the Credit Agreement ABN AMRO would have received in respect of the amount
prepaid in a manner other than agreed or in excess of the maximum agreed in
respect of the period from the date of prepayment until the final repayment date
or the next interest refixing date (whichever shall be the earlier) had such
prepayment not been made, and
b. the aggregate of the present values of the interest payments which ABN AMRO
could receive on interbank loans where the principal amount is comparable to the
amount prepaid in a manner other than agreed or in excess of the maximum agreed
and of which the term is comparable to the period referred to in 4.2 a. hereof,
but in any event not less than 1% of the amount prepaid in a manner other than
agreed or in excess of the maximum agreed. The present value of the interest
payments shall be calculated at the interbank rare applicable on the date of the
prepayment. ABN AMRO shall give sufficient notice of the amount of compensation
to the Borrower.
4.3 Upon giving notice of an intended early repayment, the Borrower shall be
obliged to make such early repayment.
4.4 Early repayments shall be applied in reduction of the contractual repayments
in reverse order of their maturity dates.
4.5 If the loan is repaid on an annuity basis, i.e. by installments consisting
of a decreasing interest component and an increasing principal component, ABN
AMRO shall refix the remaining term of the loan, so that as far as possible the
original instalments shall remain unchanged.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Events of Default
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1 The outstanding balance of the principal amount of the loan together with
accrued interest and any other sum due from the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement shall be payable to ABN AMRO forthwith and in full without any demand
or default notice being required:
a. if the Borrower fails to comply with or fulfil, at the time and in the manner
required, any obligation towards ABN AMRO whether arising under the Credit
Agreement or otherwise;
