(b) | attributable to a Finance Party or its Affiliate wilfully failing to comply with any law or regulation; | |
(c) | an amount in respect of Tax or a loss or liability in respect of Tax; or | |
(d) | attributable to the introduction, implementation or transformation of what is stipulated in the paper “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form existing on the date of this Agreement (Basel II) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates). |

(a) | The Mandatory Cost is to compensate a Lender for the cost of compliance with: |
(i) | the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces any of its functions); or |
(ii) | the requirements of the European Central Bank. |
(b) | The Mandatory Cost is expressed as a percentage rate per annum. | |
(c) | The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average (weighted in proportion to the percentage share of each Lender in the relevant Loan) of the rates for the Lenders calculated by the Facility Agent in accordance with this Schedule on the first day of an Interest Period (or as soon as possible after then). | |
(d) | The Facility Agent shall distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender. | |
(e) | Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties. | |
2.For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. | ||
(a) | The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is calculated in accordance with the following formula: | |
in relation to sterling: |
AB + C(B - D) + E x 0.01 | per cent. per annum |
in euro or any other Eligible Currency: |
E x 0.01 | per cent. per annum |
where on the day of application of the formula: |
Page 89
A is the percentage of that Lender’s eligible liabilities (in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank of England requires it to hold on a non-interest-bearing account in accordance with its cash ratio requirements; | ||
B is the percentage rate of IBOR of the relevant Interest Period; | ||
C is the percentage (if any) of the Lender’s eligible liabilities which the Bank of England requires it to place as an interest-bearing special deposit; | ||
D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England on interest bearing special deposits; and | ||
E is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the rates of charge under the fees rules supplied by the Lenders to the Facility Agent under Clause 2(d) of this Schedule and expressed in pounds per £1 million. | ||
(b) | For the purposes of this Clause 2: |
(i) | eligible liabilities and special deposit(s)have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the formula pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as appropriate) by the Bank of England; |
(ii) | fees rulesmeans the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook or any other law or regulation as may then be in force for the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; |
(iii) | fee tariffsmeans the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but applying any applicable discount rate); and |
(iv) | tariff basehas the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules. |
(c) | (i) | in the application of the formulae, A, B, C and D are included as figures and not as percentages, e.g. if A = 0.5% and B = 15%, AB is calculated as 0.5 x 15. A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B is taken as zero. |
(ii) | Each rate calculated in accordance with a formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places. |
(d) | If requested by the Facility Agent, each Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules for that financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated by that Lender as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Lender. |
Page 90
(e) | Each Lender shall supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Lender. In particular, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: |
(i) | the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and | ||
(ii) | any other information that the Facility Agent reasonably requires for that purpose. |
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information supplied to it under this Clause 2(e). | ||
(f) | The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of Clause 2(a) of this Schedule are determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it under Clauses 2(d) and 2(e) of this Schedule. Unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender’s obligations in respect of 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 U.K. | |
(g) | The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender. The Facility Agent is entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank under this Schedule is true and correct in all respects. |
(a) | The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage rate per annum shall be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s share 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. | |
(b) | If a Lender fails to specify a rate under Clause 3(a) of this Schedule, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost. |
(a) | The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect: |
(i) | any change in law or regulation; or | ||
(ii) | any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority). |
Page 91
(b) | If the Facility Agent, after consultation with the Borrowers, determines that the Mandatory Cost for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. can be calculated by reference to a screen, the Facility Agent may notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Agreement which is required to reflect this. |
