the Margin,

expressed as a nominal annual compounded quarterly in arrears rate, which shall accrue, in each case, on a day to day basis and shall be calculated, in arrears, and compounded at the end of each Interest Period.

7.2	PAYMENT OF INTEREST

Save as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all accrued interest on each Loan will be capitalised on each Quarterly Interest Reset Date and will, subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, including the mandatory prepayment obligations, be paid together with the remaining Total Facility Outstandings on the relevant Final Maturity Date.

7.3	DEFAULT INTEREST

7.3.1

If a Major Event of Default occurs which is continuing, interest shall accrue on the Total Facility Outstandings from the date of occurrence of the Major Event of Default up to the date on which the Major Event of Default is no longer occurring, (both before and after judgment, if applicable) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is 2% per annum higher than the interest rate referred to in clause 7.1. Any interest accruing under this clause 7.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Lender.

If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(a)

the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

7.4	NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST

8.	INTEREST PERIODS

commencing on (and including) the Utilisation Date (in respect of the first Interest Period) or commencing on (and including) the next Quarterly Interest Reset Date; and

8.1.2

ending on (and including) the day immediately preceding the next Quarterly Interest Reset Date.

8.2	NO OVERRUNNING THE FINAL MATURITY DATE

If an Interest Period would otherwise extend beyond the relevant Final Maturity Date, it will be shortened so that it ends on that Final Maturity Date. This clause does not apply to Interest Periods selected under clause 7.3 (Default interest) in respect of amounts which remain overdue on the relevant Final Maturity Date.

8.3	CONSOLIDATION OF LOANS

All Loans will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period.

Subject to clause 9.2 (Market disruption), if JIBAR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11h00 on the Quotation Day, the applicable JIBAR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

9.2	MARKET DISRUPTION

9.2.1

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on the Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(a)

the Margin; and

(b)

the rate notified to the Borrower by the Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

9.2.2

In this Agreement Market Disruption Event means at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Lender to determine JIBAR for the relevant Interest Period.

9.3	ALTERNATIVE BASIS OF INTEREST OR FUNDING

9.3.1

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of the Lender and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.
