27

(c) After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on the affected Loan for the relevant Term will be the aggregate of the applicable:

(i) Margin;

(ii) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by those Lenders as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Term, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to those Lenders of funding the Loan from whatever source each of them may reasonably select; and

(iii) any increase in Mandatory Cost above the level of Mandatory Cost prevailing at the date of this Agreement.

(c) If the Borrowers are required to make a Tax Deduction, the Borrowers must make the minimum Tax Deduction and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by the Applicable Law.

(d) Within fifteen (15) days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction the Borrowers must deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Party, documents or other information (or certified copies thereof) evidencing satisfactorily to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

28

10.2 Tax Indemnity

Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 10.1 (Tax gross-up), if any Lender is required to make any payment on account of Tax solely as a result of its entry into any Finance Document (not being a Tax imposed on the net income of a Lender or its Facility Office by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, or the jurisdiction in which its Facility Office is located or on the capital of that Lender employed in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions) on any sum received or receivable under the Finance Documents (including, without limitation, any sum received or receivable under this Clause 10.2) or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against a Lender, the Borrowers shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify that Lender against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith.

10.3 Tax Credit

If a Lender or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent determines in its absolute discretion, acting in good faith, that it has received, realised, utilised and retained a Tax benefit by reason of any deduction or withholding in respect of which the Borrowers have made an increased payment or paid a compensating sum under this Clause 10 that Lender or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent shall, provided it has received all amounts which are then due and payable by the Borrowers under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, pay to the Borrowers (to the extent that Lender or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent can do so without prejudicing the amount of that benefit and the right of that Lender, or as the case may be, the Facility Agent to obtain any other benefit, relief or allowance which may be available to it), such amount, if any, as that Lender, or as the case may be, the Facility Agent shall determine in its absolute discretion acting in good faith, will leave that Lender, or as the case may be, the Facility Agent in no better and no worse position than it would have been in if the deduction or withholding had not been required and so that it retains no benefit as a result of the receipt of such deduction.

10.4 Notification of Claim

A Lender making, or intending to make, a claim under Clause 10.2 (Tax Indemnity) shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(ii) unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in accordance with a Finance Document, to request any certificate or other document from the Security Parties.

(c) Unless the Borrowers otherwise agree (acting reasonably), a transfer of part of a Commitment or the rights and obligations under this Agreement by the Existing Lender must be in a minimum amount of twenty five million Dollars (US$25,000,000) unless the Commitment of the Existing Lender is less than such amount, in which case the whole of the Commitment of the Existing Lender may be transferred.

(d) A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:

(i) the obligations are novated in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause 28; or

(ii) the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent and the Borrowers that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(e) On the transfer becoming effective in this manner, the relevant Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender.

Transfer Date means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of:

(i) the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer Certificate; and

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date of assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrowers would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

then, unless the assignment, transfer or change is made by a Lender to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to a Tax Payment, Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Borrowers need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred.

28.6 Changes to the Reference Banks

If the obligations are in different currencies, that Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

31. PRO RATA SHARING

31.1 Redistribution

If any amount owing by the Borrowers under this Agreement to a Lender (the recovering Lender) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a recovery), then:

(a) the recovering Lender must, within three (3) Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

(c) the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to such excess (the redistribution).

(ii) the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

82

each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the re-distribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

(a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the Borrowers in the amount of the redistribution; or

(ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them.

32. SEVERABILITY

If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

(a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or

SCHEDULE 5

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

1 General

The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average of the rates calculated below by the Facility Agent on the first day of a Term. The Facility Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender.

2 For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K.

(d) The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is the arithmetic mean of the rates notified by each of the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent and calculated in accordance with the following formulae:

E x 0.01		per cent. per annum
300

where on the day of application of the formula:

E is the charge payable by the Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules (but, for this purpose, calculated by the Facility Agent on a notional basis as being the average of the fee tariffs within fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) of the fees rules, applying any applicable discount and ignoring any minimum fee required under the fees rules) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Reference Bank.

(e) For the purposes of this paragraph:

(i) eligible liabilities and special deposit have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the formula by the Bank of England;

(ii) fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook; and

(iii) tariff base has the meaning given to it in the fees rules.

(f) Each rate calculated in accordance with a formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.

(g) (i) Each Reference Bank must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Reference Bank. The Facility Agent may assume that this information is correct in all respects.

(i) If a Reference Bank fails to do so, the Facility Agent may assume that the Reference Bank's obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits, special deposits and the fees rules are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

(ii) The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender.

95

3 For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State

(a) The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent as its cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b) If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost.

4 Changes

The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect:

(i) any change in law or regulation; or

(ii) any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority).

Any notification will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties.
