3.2	The Lender is not obliged to monitor or verify how any amount advanced under this agreement is used.

	5.9.2	matching deposits are not likely to be available to it in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business to fund that Loan for that Interest Period, then:

	(a)	the proposed Loan shall be made only if the Lender is able to fund the Loan from sources reasonably available to it;

	(b)	regardless of Clause 5.3, the Interest Period shall be one month, or a period that the parties agree (or a shorter period, under Clause 5.4); and

	(b)	may be price-sensitive,

except that the Borrower does not need to inform the recipient of (a) and (b) above if it considers that it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances.
