We write to offer to make available to you a new credit facility of up to $800,000,000 at anytime outstanding on the following terms:

a)

this facility will replace the existing $150,000,000 facility between the two companies.

b)

you should give us written notice that you require funds not less than one day before the funds are required. Each written notice should specify the amount to be borrowed, the day upon which the funds are to be made available, and the account into which the funds should be paid.

c)

interest on borrowings will be paid by you on a quarterly basis as agreed between ourselves. Interest will be calculated on the daily average borrowings outstanding during the quarter at a rate equal to our average commercial paper borrowing costs, plus a margin of point three zero per cent (0.30%).

d)

borrowings can be repaid in whole or in part on such date or dates as may be agreed between us. Any amounts repaid will be available for redrawing.

Please signify your acceptance of the terms contained in this letter by signing and returning to us the enclosed copy of this letter.
