			(ii)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if in either such case that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income, profit or gains received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party or Facility Office; or

(b) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

			(i)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 20.2 (Tax gross-up);
			(ii)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 20.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in sub-clause 20.2.5 of Clause 20.2 (Tax gross-up) applied; or
			(iii)	with respect to any Tax assessed prior to the date which is 365 days prior to the date on which the Protected Party requests such payment from the Parent Company, unless a determination of the amount claimed could only be made on or after the first of those dates.

	20.3.3	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under sub-clause 20.3.1 above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the loss, liability or cost which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall reasonably promptly notify the Parent Company.
	20.3.4	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 20.3, notify the Facility Agent.

	20.4.2	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit in whole or in part,

20.6	VAT

	20.6.1	All consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any amounts in respect of VAT. If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Finance Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT against delivery of an appropriate VAT invoice.
	20.6.2	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 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.

- 47 -

20.6.3 Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that obligation shall be deemed to extend to all amounts in respect of VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither the Finance Party nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment of the amount in respect of the VAT.

20.7	Survival of obligations
	Without prejudice to the survival of any other section of this Agreement, the agreements and obligations of each Obligor and each Finance Party contained in this Clause 20 shall survive the payment in full by the Obligors of all obligations under this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

	21.1.2	In this Agreement “Increased Costs” means:

		(a)	a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Finance Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital;
		(b)	an additional or increased cost; or

		(b)	compensated for by Clause 20.3 (Tax indemnity), Clause 20.5 (Stamp taxes) or Clause 20.6 (VAT) (or would have been compensated for under those clauses but was not so compensated because any of the exclusions, exceptions or carve-outs to such clauses applied);
		(c)	incurred prior to the date which is 365 days prior to the date on which the Finance Party makes a claim in accordance with Clause 21.2 (Increased cost claims), unless a determination of the amount incurred could only be made on or after the first of those dates;

		(e)	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation; or

In the event that the implementation or transposition of Basel II substantially changes from the implementation and transposition as it is envisaged to take place as at the date of this Agreement, the Parties undertake to negotiate in good faith any changes to this Clause 21 (Increased Costs) which may be necessary to reflect any Increased Costs incurred by any Finance Parties or any of its Affiliates as a result of those changes.

		(b)	performance by the relevant Agent of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such

- 76 -

			assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which that Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender; and

- 78 -

		(c)	the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

	35.1.1	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the relevant Agent;
	35.1.2	that Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 36 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

- 87 -

	35.1.3	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by that Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 36.5 (Partial payments).

	35.3.1	On a distribution by an Agent under Clause 35.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution.

35.4	Reversal of redistribution
	If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:
	35.4.1	each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 35.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the relevant Agent, pay to that Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and
	35.4.2	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.
35.5	Exceptions
	35.5.1	This Clause 35 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.
	35.5.2	A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(a) it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

- 88 -

(b) that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

	36.1.1	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the relevant Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the relevant Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

36.4	Clawback
	36.4.1	Where a sum is to be paid to an Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, an Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

- 90 -

SCHEDULE 5
MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.
4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows:
	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan:

		AB + C( B – D) + E × 0.01	per cent. per annum
		100 – (A +C )
	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:

		E × 0.01	per cent. per annum.
		300

	Where:
	A	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.
	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in sub-clause 16.3.1 of Clause 16.3 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

- 109 -

	C	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.
	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:
	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and
	(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.
6.	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
7.	If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
	(b)	any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

- 110 -

	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9.	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
10.	The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
11.	The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
12.	Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
13.	The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions), such changes being consistent with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market, and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest or proven error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
