SECTION 5

COSTS OF UTILISATION

8.		Interest

8.1		Calculation of interest

		The rate of interest on a Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

	(a)		Margin; and

	(b)		LIBOR.

8.2		Payment of interest

		The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period for that Loan (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six Monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

8.3		Default interest

(a)		If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably) and assuming that the margin component of the interest payable on such Loan is the Margin applicable whilst an Event of Default under Clause 23.1 (Non-payment) is continuing or a Default under Clause 23.1 (Non-payment) is continuing. Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b)		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, 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.

8.4		Notification of rates of interest

		The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

9.		Interest Periods

9.1		Selection of Interest Periods

(a)		The Borrower (or the Company on behalf of the Borrower) may select an Interest Period for each Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan has already been borrowed) in a Selection Notice.

(b)		Each Selection Notice for a Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower (or the Company on behalf of the Borrower) not later than the Specified Time.

(c)		If the Borrower (or the Company) fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant Interest Period will be three Months.

- 29 -

(f)		Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date or (if already made) on the last day of the preceding Interest Period for that Loan.

9.2		Non-Business Days

9.3		Changes to Interest Periods

		If two Interest Periods relating to different Loans end on the same date, those Loans will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Loan on the last day of the Interest Period.

10.1		Absence of quotations

		Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

10.2		Market disruption

(a)		If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

	(i)		the Margin; and

	(ii)		the higher of (x) the rate notified to the Agent by that 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 that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select and (y) in relation to a Market Disruption Event under paragraph (b)(ii) below, LIBOR.

(b)

In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means:

	(i)		at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available or the Screen Rate is zero or negative and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for US Dollars for the relevant Interest Period; or

	(ii)		before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in that Loan exceed 35 per cent. of the Loan) that the cost to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.

- 30 -

10.3		Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a)		If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Company so requires, the Agent and the Company shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

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

		The Company shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that the Finance Party incurs, in relation to, all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document (except in relation to any assignment or transfer by a Lender in accordance with Clause 24.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders)).
