9.3	DEFAULT INTEREST

9.3.1

If a Major Event of Default occurs which is continuing, interest shall accrue on the Total Facility Outstandings from the date of occurrence of the Major Event of Default up to the date on which the Major Event of Default is no longer continuing, (both before and after judgment, if applicable) at a rate which, subject to 9.3.2 below, is the higher of (i) the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum and (ii) 5% per annum higher than the prevailing interest rate referred to in clause 9.1. Any interest accruing under this clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Senior Agent.

9.3.2

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:

(a)

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

(b)

the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 2% per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

9.3.3

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.

9.4	NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST

11.1	ABSENCE OF QUOTATIONS

Subject to clause 11.2 (Market disruption), if JIBAR 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 JIBAR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

11.2	MARKET DISRUPTION

11.2.1

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:

the rate notified to the Senior Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in

11.2.2

In this Agreement Market Disruption Event means 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 Senior Agent to determine JIBAR for the relevant Interest Period.

that Senior Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

a Lender (the Existing Lender) may:

transfer any of its rights and obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Commitment),

(each a Transfer and Transfers shall be construed accordingly) under any Finance Document to any bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund, pension fund, life assurer or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purposes of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the New Lender) at no cost to the Borrower; and

24.2	CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER

24.2.1

The consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) is required for any Transfer by an Existing Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under the Facilities unless the Transfer will be to a Permitted Transferee. Where a Transfer is to be made to a prospective New Lender which is not a Permitted Transferee, the Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent for such Transfer if, after 10 (ten) Business Days of delivery of the request for consent for such Transfer, the Borrower has not responded to such request.

24.2.2

A Transfer will only be effective on:

(a)

receipt by the Senior Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Agent)

138

that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Senior Finance Parties and the other Secured Parties and to the Borrower as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;

(b)

the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to become a party to the Plateau Intercreditor Agreement; and

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the Transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the new Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clauses 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 new Facility Office would have been if the Transfer or change had not occurred; provided that this clause shall not apply to any Transfer by RPM to any South African domiciled bank.

24.3	LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY OF EXISTING LENDERS

(b)

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

accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this clause 24; or

(b)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor or other member of the Borrower Group of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

36.2.1

Excussion – by renouncing this benefit, each Obligor is precluded from raising the defence that any Lender may be compelled to excuss the principal debtor prior to claiming from the Obligor;

36.2.7

36.2.8

No value received – by renouncing this benefit, the Obligor is precluded from raising the defence that no consideration, whether in

164

case or otherwise has been received by the Obligor or the relevant party concerned.

The Finance Documents constitute the sole record of the agreement between the Parties in regard to the subject matter thereof.

waives all rights of immunity in respect of it or its assets.

36.7	SEVERABILITY

Each provision in each Finance Document is severable from all others, notwithstanding the manner in which they may be linked together or grouped grammatically, and if in terms of any judgement or order, any provision, phrase, sentence, paragraph or clause is found to be defective or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions, phrases, sentences, paragraphs and clauses shall nevertheless continue to be of full force. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the aforegoing, the Parties acknowledge their intention to continue to be bound by each Finance Document notwithstanding that any provision may be found to be unenforceable or void or voidable, in which event the provision concerned shall be severed from the other provisions, each of which shall continue to be of full force.

165

36.8	COUNTERPARTS

Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.
