the Receivables Purchaser shall convert the Amount to Sterling at the Spot Rate of Exchange on the date on which the Amount is debited to a Payment Account or, if the Amount is not debited to a Payment Account, on or around the date on which payment of the Amount is due.

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

(c) Where the Receivables Purchaser exercises any right of set-off against an Obligor, it shall have been treated as having received a payment from an Obligor for the purpose of calculating the Settlement Amount.

32.5 Withholding

(b) All payments by a Participant under a Participation shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding unless such deduction or withholding is required to be made by any law, regulation or practice. If any such deduction or withholding is made or is required to be made the relevant Participant shall increase the amount to

be paid to the Receivables Purchaser to ensure that the Receivables Purchaser receives and retains a sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

(c) The Receivables Purchaser and each Participant shall use their reasonable endeavours to avoid any obligation to make any deduction or withholding as is referred to in clauses 32.5(a) and 32.5(b).

32.6 Failure to remit

(a) No Finance Party shall be responsible for any loss or liability arising out of its failure, or the failure of its relevant branch, owing to causes outside its control (such as, but not limited to, the imposition of foreign exchange restrictions) to remit to any other Finance Party any amount due to that other Finance Party under the Participation.

Interest shall be payable at the end of each day and, for the purposes of this clause 32.6(c), shall constitute part of the unpaid balance to the extent it is not paid.

32.7 Default interest

Save in relation to clause 32.6(a), if a Finance Party (the “payer”) fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Deed to any other Finance Party (the “payee”) on its due date, interest shall accrue (before and after judgment) on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment from day to day at a rate which is two per cent per annum over the rate (as determined by the payee) which is being offered by leading banks in the relevant interbank market for overnight deposits in the currency of and for an amount equal to the overdue amount.

(b) If, in respect of any Participation, the Receivables Purchaser makes a payment to a Participant and it proves to be the case that the Receivable Purchaser had not actually received all or part of the amount on which that payment was conditional,

the Participant shall forthwith on demand of the Receivables Purchaser refund the amount paid to the Participant or the relevant portion of that amount together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of refund, calculated at a rate reasonably determined by the Receivables Purchaser to reflect its costs of funds.
