Page 26


 
9.2 Payment of interest
Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on each of the Interest Payment Dates applicable to that Loan.

(b)   Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be two per cent. per annum above the higher of:
  (i)   the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably); and

(d)   Notwithstanding Clause 9.3(b), if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Interest Period, then:
  (i)   the first Interest Period for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Interest Period; and
 
  (ii)   the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Interest Period will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan.

11.1 Failure of a Reference Bank to supply a rate
If the applicable IBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Institutions but a Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 2.00 p.m. (Central European Time) on a Rate Fixing Day, the applicable IBOR will, subject as provided below, be calculated on the basis of the rates of the remaining Reference Institutions.
11.2 Market disruption
(a)   In this Clause, each of the following events is a market disruption event:
  (i)   if less than two Reference Institutions supply a rate by 2.00 p.m. (Central European Time) on the Rate Fixing Day; or
 
  (ii)   the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from the Majority Lenders (or the Lender in the case of a Loan advanced by a sole Lender) that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market is in excess of the applicable IBOR for the relevant Interest Period.
(b)   The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of a market disruption event.

Page 28

  (ii)   an Obligor or a Lender is aware that an Obligor shall be required to make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction),
it shall promptly notify the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall then promptly notify the affected Parties.
(c)   Except as provided below, if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor or the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
 
(d)   An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment under Clause 12.1(c) for a Tax Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender that is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in excess of the amount that such Obligor would have had to pay had the Lender been, or not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender.
 
(e)   Clause 12.1(d) will not apply if the Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.
 
(f)   An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 12.1(c) for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by relevant tax authorities if, and to the extent that, that Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor is able to demonstrate that the Tax Deduction would not have been required, or would have been reduced, if the Lender had complied with its obligations under Clause
12.1(i).

Page 29

(i)   A Treaty Lender and each Borrower which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate by using their respective reasonable endeavours to complete any procedural formalities necessary for the Obligors to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

12.2 Tax indemnity
(a)   Except as provided below, each Obligor shall indemnify a Finance Party against any loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines that it has suffered or will suffer (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable from that Obligor under a Finance Document.
 
(b)   Clause 12.2(a) does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which:
  (i)   that Finance Party is treated as subject to unlimited tax liability;
 
  (ii)   that Finance Party’s Facility Office or permanent establishment to which amounts received or receivable are attributable, is located or that Finance Party is otherwise subject to non-resident tax liability in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction; or
 
  (iii)   under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Finance Party, by virtue of a Security Interest granted to it, is subject to non-resident taxation,
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for this purpose.
(c)   Clause 15.2(a) does not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
  (i)   is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.1 ( Tax gross-up ); or
 
  (ii)   would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.1 ( Tax gross-up ) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 12.1(d) or Clause 12.1(f) applied.

Page 30


 
(d)   Clause 12.2(a) may be disapplied in respect of a Tax Payment by the operation of Clause 30.5 ( Costs resulting from a change of Lender or Facility Office ).

(a)   a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part or to that Tax Payment; and
(b) it has used and retained that Tax Credit,
the Finance Party shall pay an amount to that Obligor which that Finance Party reasonably establishes that such payment will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been if the Tax Payment had not been required to be made by the Obligor.
12.4 Miscellaneous taxes
Each Obligor shall pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that a Finance Party incurs in relation to stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for:

12.5 Value added taxes
(a)   All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply.
(b)   If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier ) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient ) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the Relevant Party ) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly claim the full amount of any credit or repayment to which it is entitled in respect of such VAT and pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.
(c)   Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Finance Party (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

However, the Facility Agent may assume that the sum has been paid to it, and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been received by the Facility Agent, that Party shall immediately on demand by the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.
