in discharge of the Borrowers’ liability for that repayment instalment or that interest.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Lender shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for the Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Lender as a weighted average of the Lender's Additional Cost Rates and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for the Lender lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage certified by the Lender to be its reasonable determination of the cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office.

4	The Additional Cost Rate for the Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Lender as follows:

	E x 0.01	per cent. per annum
	300	per cent. per annum

Where:

is designed to compensate the Lender for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Lender as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied to the Lender pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5	For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)	"Special Deposits" has the meaning given to it from time to time under or pursuant .to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)	"Fees Rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

"Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);

(a)	"Participating Member State" means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to European Monetary Union; and

(b)	"Tariff Base" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

If the Lender is lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, calculate the rate of charge payable by the Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this

purpose by the Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to the Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of the Lender.

7	The Lender shall confirm the jurisdiction of its lending office on or prior to the date on which it makes available an Advance:

8	Unless the Lender notifies to the contrary, the Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office.

9	Any determination by the Lender pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to the Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

The Lender may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower
