(ii) support any losses incurred by the New Bank by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

36.6 Executive Proceedings and Set-off. Spanish notarial formalities

(a) The Borrower agrees that this Facility Agreement, as well as any amendments hereto, will be formalised in a Spanish notarial document (“escritura pública” or “póliza”), so that it may have the status of a notarial document of loan for all purposes contemplated in Article 517, number 2, paragraphs number 4 and 5 of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7 January) (“Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil”). The Borrower also undertakes to grant any public or private document required by the Agent for the purposes of or in relation to such notarial document, and that the notarial document shall state any conditions that the Agent considers necessary or convenient in respect of the enforceability of the Finance Documents, including those referred to in article 517 et seq and 571 et seq or any other provision of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7 January) (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil).

(i) The sum payable by the Borrower shall be the total aggregate sum resulting from the balance shown in the account(s) maintained by the Agent (or the relevant Bank, as the case may be) in accordance with this Agreement. For the purposes of Articles 571 et seq. of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7 January) (“Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil”), the parties expressly agree that such balance shall be considered as an acknowledgement of debt and may be claimed pursuant to the same provisions of such law.

(ii) For the purpose of the provisions of Art. 571 et seq. of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7 January) (“Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil”), it is expressly agreed by the contracting parties that the determination of the debt to be claimed through the executive proceedings shall be effected by the Agent (or the relevant Bank, as the case may be) by means of the appropriate certificate setting out the relevant calculations and determinations and evidencing the balance shown in the account or accounts of the Borrower. By virtue of the foregoing, to exercise executive action it will be sufficient to present an original notarial first copy of this Agreement and the notarial document (“acta notarial”) that incorporates the certificate issued by the Agent (or the relevant Bank, as the case may be) evidencing that the determination of the amounts due and payable by the Borrower have been calculated as agreed in this Agreement and that such amounts coincide with the balance shown in the account or accounts of the Borrower. Each Finance Party may (at the cost of the Borrower) have the certificate notarised evidencing that the calculations and determinations have been effected.

74

(b) The covenants in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are also applicable with respect to any Bank with regard to its respective Commitment. Such Bank may issue the appropriate certification of the balance of the account or accounts of the Borrower and the certification of the account balance may be legalised by a notary.

(c) The amount of the balance so established shall be notified to the Borrower in an attestable manner at least one (1) day in advance of exercising the action.

(d) The Borrower undertakes that the notarial document shall at least expressly state that a Finance Party is entitled to claim all amounts outstanding under the Finance Documents following any non-payment of principal or interest under this Facility Agreement. This does not prejudice the exercise of any other right and remedy of any Finance Party.

(e)		The Borrower hereby expressly authorises the Agent (and any Bank, as appropriate), to request and obtain, by itself, certificates issued by the notary which has formalised this Agreement in order to evidence its accordance with the entries of his registry-book and the date of them for the purpose of Article 517 number 2 paragraph number 5, of the new Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7 January) (“Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil”), the amount of such certificate being for the account of the Borrower in the manner provided with respect to other expenses.
37.		GOVERNING LAW

SCHEDULE 6

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

1. General

(a) The Mandatory Cost is to compensate a Bank for the cost of compliance with:

	(i)		the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces any of its functions); or
	(ii)		the requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b) The Mandatory Cost is expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

(c) The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average (weighted in proportion to the percentage share of each Bank in the relevant Loan) of the rates for the Banks calculated by the Agent in accordance with this Schedule on the first day of a Term (or as soon as possible after then).

(d) The Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Banks on the basis of the rate for each Bank.

(e) Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties.

(f) For the purposes of this Schedule, Participating Member State means a member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency under the legislation of the European Community for Economic Monetary Union.

2. For a Bank lending from a Facility Office in the UK

(a) The relevant rate for a Bank lending from a Facility Office in the UK is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

		E × 0.01				per cent. per annum
			300

where on the day of application of the formula, E is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the rates of charge under the fees rules supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent under paragraph (d) below and expressed in pounds per £1 million.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph 2:

(i) fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook or any other law or regulation as may then be in force for the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(ii) fee tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but applying any applicable discount rate); and

(iii) tariff base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules.

86

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

(d) If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank must, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules for that financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated by that Reference Bank as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Reference Bank.

(e) Each Bank must supply to the Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Bank. In particular, each Bank must supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank:

(i) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(ii) any other information that the Agent reasonably requires for that purpose.

Each Bank must promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information supplied to it under this paragraph.

(f) The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above are determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it under paragraphs (d) and (e) above. Unless a Bank notifies the Agent to the contrary, the Agent may assume that the Bank’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the UK.

(g) The Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Bank. The Agent is entitled to assume that the information provided by any Bank or Reference Bank under this Schedule is true and correct in all respects.

3. For a Bank lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State

(a) The relevant rate for a Bank lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Bank to the Agent. This percentage rate per annum must be certified by that Bank in its notice to the Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Bank’s share in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office.

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

87

4. Changes

(a) The Agent may, after consultation with the Borrower and the Banks, determine and 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).

(b) If the Agent, after consultation with the Borrower, determines that the Mandatory Cost for a Bank lending from a Facility Office in the UK can be calculated by reference to a screen, the Agent may notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Agreement which is required to reflect this.
