Exhibit 10.1

SECTION 5

COSTS OF UTILISATION

INTEREST

8.1	Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a)	Margin; and

(b)

TIBOR.

8.2	Payment of interest

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

8.3	Default interest

(a)

If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the Unpaid Sum 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 the sum of 2 per cent. and the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Lender (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Lender.

(b)	If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i)	the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii)	the rate of interest applying to the Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be the sum of 2 per cent. and the rate which would have applied if the Unpaid Sum had not become due.

(c)	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum will be compounded with the Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that Unpaid Sum but will remain immediately due and payable.

8.4	Notification of rates of interest

The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

8.5	Usury saving

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time a Rate of Interest that would otherwise be payable by any Obligor established in Japan in respect of a Facility exceeds the limitation on the Rate of Interest prescribed under the Japanese Usury Laws, then the Borrower's obligation to pay such Rate of Interest shall be limited to the maximum Rate of Interest permissible under such Japanese Usury Laws. For the purposes of this Clause 8.5 only, the term "Rate of Interest" means the rate of interest calculated by taking into consideration interest, default interest, fees and any other amounts which are deemed to be interest (risoku) under Japanese Usury Laws.

Exhibit 10.1

9.	INTEREST PERIODS

9.1	Selection of Interest Periods

(a)	The Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan has already been borrowed) in a Selection Notice.

(c)	If the Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Lender in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant Interest Period will be one Month.

10.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

10.1	Market disruption

(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i)	the Margin; and

(ii)

the rate notified to the Borrower by the Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business on the date falling three Business Days after the Quotation Day (or, if earlier, on the date falling three Business Days prior to the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the Lender of funding that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(b)	In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

(i)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and the Lender is unable to provide a quotation to determine TIBOR for Japanese Yen for the relevant Interest Period; or

(ii)	before noon (Tokyo time) on the business day immediately following the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Borrower receives notification from the Lender that the cost to it of funding that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of TIBOR.

Exhibit 10.1

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

(c)	For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed at the end of the thirty day period, the rate of interest shall continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.3	Break Costs

(a)	The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

(b)	The Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Borrower, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

(b)

The accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of three Months which ends during the Availability Period, on the last day of the Availability Period and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the Lender's Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective.

(ii)

any Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income of the Facility Office of the Lender actually received or receivable by the Lender (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any sum deemed for purposes of Tax to be received or receivable by the Lender but not actually receivable) by the jurisdiction in which its Facility Office is located;

(b)

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse the Lender for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Lender against all Indirect Tax incurred by the Lender in respect of the costs or expenses the Lender reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of the Indirect Tax.

Exhibit 10.1

For the purposes of determining the Margin and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate:

(b)

The Margin and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Guarantor ending after the date of the first Utilisation Request based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end.

If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Guarantor or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lender determines that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Lender promptly on demand, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Lender under Clause 8.3 (Default Interest) or Clause 20 (Events of Default).
