(a) Margin; and

(b) TIBOR.

9.2 Payment of interest

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period.

9.3 Default interest

(a) If the Borrower 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, subject to paragraph (b) below, is two per cent. higher than 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 Paying Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Paying 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:

(i) 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

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(c) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

10.3 Consolidation and division of Loans

If two or more Interest Periods 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.

11.2 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 percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(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 and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Paying Agent to determine TIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or

(ii) before close of business in Tokyo on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Paying Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 35 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Tokyo interbank market would be in excess of TIBOR.

- 23 -

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

11.4 Break Costs

(a) The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

CHANGES TO PARTIES

22. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

22.1 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

(a) Subject to this Clause 22, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations under the Finance Documents and in relation to the Transaction Security to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”).

(b) Subject to Clause 22.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants, and shall to the extent required under applicable law grant, its consent, without objection, to any New Lender becoming a Party in accordance with this Clause 22 and to any corresponding Transaction Security being assigned or transferred to such New Lender.

22.2 Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, prior to the Syndication Date the consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by a Lender of its rights, benefits or obligations under the Finance Documents or in relation to the Transaction Security to a New Lender which is not an Agreed Lender.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants its consent, without objection (including, without limitation, any objection based on the creditworthiness of a New Lender), to any assignment or transfer by a Lender:

(i) to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

(ii) if the Existing Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Lender;

(iii) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing; or

(iv) made after the Syndication Date.

(c) The consent of the Borrower required under paragraph (a) to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Borrower within that time.

(d) An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Administrative Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender and an assignment or transfer will only be effective if the procedures set out in Clause 22.5 (Procedure for transfer) are complied with and the fees payable under Clause 22.3 (Assignment or transfer fee) are paid.

- 47 -

(e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the amount of a proposed assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender in relation to the Facility must be in aggregate a minimum amount of ¥500,000,000 or, if less, the entire amount of its Available Commitment and/or its participation in any Loan.

(f) If:

(i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 13 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) or Clause 14 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

22.3 Assignment or transfer fee

Unless the relevant Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an assignment or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of a Lender, (ii) to a Related Fund or (iii) made in connection with primary syndication of the Facility, the New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay:

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 22; or

(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

22.5 Procedure for transfer

(a) The Existing Lender and the New Lender shall deliver a Transfer Certificate to the Administrative Agent ten Business Days prior to the proposed Transfer Date.

- 49 -

(e) On the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent provided in the Transfer Certificate, the Existing Lender’s rights, benefits and obligations under the Finance Documents, together with the Transaction Security related thereto (the “Transferred Rights and Obligations”), shall be assigned and transferred to, and assumed by, the New Lender, and the Existing Lender shall have no further rights, benefits and obligations with respect to the Transferred Rights and Obligations;

(ii) except that the Transferred Rights and Obligations belong not to the Existing Lender but to the New Lender, the Transferred Rights and Obligations shall be transferred from the Existing Lender to the New Lender without being changed by any means and the rights and obligations among the Borrower to any Finance Documents shall remain unchanged without being prejudiced by the transfer of the Transferred Rights and Obligations from the Existing Lender to the New Lender;
