This is then discounted back to the net present value at the rate equivalent to the Bank’s cost of funds at the date of the economic event;

(ii)                       in relation to a bill facility, a loss or reduction of profits or return or other costs representing the difference between the yield rate applicable to the bills when they are drawn and the interest rate the Bank is able to receive in the interest rate market by reference to the Interbank Swap Curve at the date of the economic event for the remaining term to maturity of the facility.  This is then discounted back to the net present value at the rate equivalent to the Bank’s cost of funds at that date; or

(iii)                    the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired or contracted by the Bank to fund or maintain the facility or the termination or reversing of any swap or option agreement or other agreement or arrangement entered into by the Bank (either generally in the course of its business or specifically in connection with this Agreement) to fund or maintain the facility or to hedge, fix or limit the Bank’s effective cost of funding or maintaining the facility.

(ii)                                  the Bank is of the reasonable opinion that the financial covenants, reporting covenants or other covenants and undertakings set out in this Agreement no longer satisfy the Bank’s requirements,

The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank may determine, in the Bank’s discretion, that the relevant covenants or undertakings remain applicable without amendment despite the change in accounting standards.

(b)                       Paragraph (a) above shall not be construed as a waiver of any event of default, or waiver of any of the Bank’s rights under this Agreement.

7.3                     Consequences of default

(a)                        Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Bank may at its option exercisable without the need to give any notice to the Borrower other than that required by law, treat the total amount owing as payable immediately and may immediately or at any later time enforce any security.

(b)                       If the Bank gives the Borrower a notice stating that an event of default has occurred and the Borrower does not, or cannot,  rectify the event of default:

(i)                                     if a grace period is given in the default notice or required by law, within that period, or

(ii)                                  if no grace period is given in the default notice or required by law, immediately,

then subject to any applicable law and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies the Bank may have (including under a security) the Bank may:

(iii)                               cancel all or any part of the facility limit for all or any facilities with immediate effect; and

(iv)                              declare that all or part of the total amount owing are immediately due and payable (to the extent it is not already due for payment), and if the Borrower does not pay it immediately, the Bank may terminate the facilities and/or sue the Borrower for the total amount owing and/or enforce any security.

(c)                        If the Bank terminates a facility following the occurrence of an event of default, and at that time there are any treasury related transactions in existence between the Bank and the Borrower (which include, but are not limited to, borrowings and financial accommodation, foreign exchange, money market and derivative transactions or general banking facilities) (“open positions”) then:

37

(i)                                     the Bank may close out the open positions, by entering into opposite positions for the balance of the unexpired term, or by such other means as may be usual in the relevant market and any such close out shall be at the then current market rates;

(ii)                                  any costs incurred by the Bank in closing out open positions under paragraph (i) above will be paid by the Borrower on demand, and any gain derived from the closing out of the open positions will be credited to the Borrower and set off against the total amount owing; and

(iii)                               the Bank will give the Borrower reasonable particulars of the manner of close out of the open positions, and the basis of calculation of any amounts payable by or to the Borrower arising from that close out.

7.4                     Default Interest

(a)                        For a facility other than a bill facility, if a default interest rate applies to that facility, the Borrower must pay the Bank interest charges on any part of the balance owing which is overdue, or in excess of the facility limit. Interest charges payable under this paragraph are calculated daily by applying the daily default interest rate to the overdue amount or the amount in excess of the facility limit.

(b)                       For a bill facility, if the Borrower fails to pay the face value of any bill on its maturity date or any other amount is overdue for payment, the Bank may debit an account in the Borrower’s name (whether opened by the Borrower or the Bank) with the face value of any such bill and with any overdue costs, taxes, expenses, fees, charges, premiums and outgoings. Clause 3.6(d) applies to any such debits.

7.5                     Capitalising default interest

Default interest charges are:

(a)                        for facilities where interest charges are ordinarily debited to an account or accounts under the facility, added to the relevant balance owing for the facility on each date on which interest is next debited for that facility; or

(b)                       for other facilities, at the Bank’s discretion, added to the overdue amount monthly and when the overdue amount is paid, or debited to the nominated account for that facility (or, if permitted by this Agreement, any other account held by the Borrower) on each date on which interest is next debited for that facility, unless the Bank otherwise specifies.

 The Borrower will then be liable for interest under this clause on that increased amount.

7.6                     Fees

If the Borrower does not pay on time any amount due under this Agreement, or if it exceeds a facility limit, a fee may apply as detailed in the relevant Guide to Fees and Charges.  If the fee applies, it is payable immediately and the fee shall be debited by the Bank to any account of the Borrower as the Bank may nominate.

7.7                     Additional review rights

If an event of default has occurred, irrespective of whether or not the Bank has exercised, or waived, any other rights that arise upon the occurrence of that event of default, the Bank may review the pricing applicable to each of the facilities held by the Borrower and shall have the right, on written notice, to vary that pricing as set out in clause 3.5(a).

7.8                     Obligations not affected

A Borrower’s obligation to pay on time is not cancelled by this clause.

8                               Change of Circumstances

8.1                     Illegality

If, as a result of a change in relevant regulation, the Bank determines that it is, or has become apparent that it will become, contrary to that relevant regulation for:

38

(a)                        the Bank to fund, provide or maintain a facility or otherwise observe or give effect to the Bank’s obligations under a facility; or

(b)                       a person from whom the Bank has raised or propose to raise money in connection with a facility to fund, provide or maintain that money,

then:

(c)                        the Bank is no longer obliged to provide any drawing or other financial accommodation under a facility;

(d)                       all amounts payable under each facility, including an amount equal to the total face value of all bills accepted, discounted or endorsed by the Bank and the face value of each bank guarantee and letter of credit issued by the Bank which remain outstanding, are due and payable by the Borrower on demand; and

(e)                        the Bank may debit any of the Borrower’s accounts (including in the case of a bill facility the nominated account) with the facility amount owing under a facility.

8.2                     Increased Costs

(a)                        This clause 8.2 applies if the Bank determines that in its opinion any order of any court or change in relevant regulation will:

(i)                                     subject the Bank to any taxes or duties with respect to any facility or any part thereof or change the basis of taxation of the Bank for payments hereunder (except for taxes or a change in the rate of tax on the Bank’s overall net income imposed by any taxing authority having the power to levy taxes on the Bank);

(ii)                                  impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, capital adequacy and/or liquidity adequacy requirements against any of the Bank’s assets, deposits with the Bank or the Bank’s account, or loans by the Bank; or

(iii)                               impose on the Bank any other condition with respect to this Agreement or the obligations assumed by the Bank under it,

and as a result there is:

(iv)                              an increase in the cost to the Bank of making available or maintaining any facility; or

(v)                                 a reduction in the amounts receivable or permitted to be received in respect of any facility or any other payment due to the Bank in connection with any facility,

by an amount which the Bank considers to be material.

(b)                       If this clause applies:
