Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Agent.

(b) If any Unpaid Sum 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 Unpaid Sum 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. (2%) per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(c) Default interest (if unpaid for a period of more than one-year) arising on an Unpaid Sum will be compounded with such Unpaid Sum at the end of the Interest Periods applicable to such Unpaid Sum arising after the expiry of such one year period but will remain immediately due and payable.

9. INTEREST PERIODS

9.1 Selection of Interest Periods

(a) Subject to this Clause 9, unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders) otherwise agrees, the Interest Period for each Loan shall be six (6) Months.

9.2 Changes to Interest Periods

(b) If the Agent makes any of the changes to an Interest Period referred to in this Clause 9.2, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

(i) (where the FP Contractor is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the VAT Relevant Party must also pay to the FP Contractor (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.

(b) If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by the Borrower (other than a FATCA Deduction relating to a Lender that is not an Original Lender), the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any FATCA Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no FATCA Deduction had been required. No additional payment shall be required in respect of a FATCA Deduction relating to a Lender other than an Original Lender.

(c) The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that the Borrower must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly.

If the Agent receives such notification from a Finance Party it shall notify the Borrower.

(d) Within thirty (30) days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant governmental or taxation authority.

This paragraph shall not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under paragraph (b) above.

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment or FATCA Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or FATCA Payment or to a Tax Deduction or FATCA Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment or FATCA Payment was required; and

(b) that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

21.5 Procedure for transfer

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in Clauses 21.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders) and 21.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below

(ii) the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.6 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

(iii) the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) the Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Borrower or that Xxxxxx, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

(b) Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 28.5 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause

(i) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent;

(ii) the 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 26 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(iii) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the 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 26.5 (Partial payments).

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties") in accordance with Clause 26.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Finance Parties.

25.3 Recovering Finance Party's rights

On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 25.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from the Borrower, as between the Borrower and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

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:

(a) each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the 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) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

(b) as between the Borrower and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

(b) 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:

26.4 Clawback and pre-funding

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the 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.

(b) Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

(c) If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account of the Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to the Borrower:

(i) the Agent shall notify the Borrower of that Xxxxxx'x identity and the Borrower shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and

(ii) the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Xxxxxx fails to do so, the Borrower shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Xxxxxx.

26.5 Partial payment
