ARTICLE 5 INTEREST

5.1 Interest Rate (all rates expressed as annualized rates calculated using a simple interest method)

The interest rate applicable to each Loan under this Agreement is a VAT-inclusive annualized rate, calculated using a simple interest method, as follows:

Page 17 of #NUM_PAGES#


SYNDICATED LOAN AGREEMENT — STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

(1) Lending Rate

Floating rate, repriced once every 12 months with the actual first drawdown date as the starting date. The repricing date is the first day of the next floating cycle, being the day in the repricing month that corresponds to the starting date (or, if there is no corresponding day, the last day of that month).

For each Loan:

A.    First period (from the actual drawdown date to expiry of the current floating cycle): the rate shall be the LPR (5-year or longer) most recently published by the National Interbank Funding Center as at the Business Day immediately prior to the actual drawdown date, ☑PLUS / □MINUS (select one) 10 basis points;

B.    On each repricing date, all tranches shall be repriced together at the LPR (5-year or longer) most recently published by the National Interbank Funding Center as at the Business Day immediately prior to the repricing date, ☑PLUS / □MINUS (select one) 10 basis points, which rate shall apply for the relevant floating cycle.

If the LPR ceases to be published such that the applicable rate as at the Interest Rate Determination Date [x] on the immediately preceding Business Day [x] on the immediately preceding day [✓] on the same day cannot be determined, the Borrower and the Agent Bank (pursuant to a Majority Lender decision) shall negotiate to determine the applicable rate. Until agreement is reached, the applicable rate for such Loan shall be [3.6]%.

(2) Interest Calculation

Interest accrues from the actual drawdown date and is calculated on the actual amount drawn and the actual number of days utilized. The formula is: Interest = Principal × Actual Days × Daily Rate. The daily rate is based on a 360-day year: Daily Rate = Annual Rate ÷ 360.

5.2 Penalty Rate

(1)    If the Borrower fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement, such overdue amount shall, from the normal due date until paid in full, bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate determined under Clause 5.1 PLUS [50%] (the "Default Penalty Rate").

(2)    If the Borrower misappropriates any Loan, the misappropriated amount shall, from the date of misappropriation until the date of cessation, bear interest at the Interest Rate then prevailing under this Agreement PLUS [50%] (the "Misappropriation Penalty Rate").

(3)    If a Loan is both overdue and misappropriated, the higher Penalty Rate shall apply.

(4)    Penalty interest shall accrue under the same Interest Period provisions as Clause 5.3. The first Interest Period for penalty interest commences on the date any amount is due and unpaid and ends on (but excluding) the next following Interest Settlement Date. If penalty interest is unpaid on a Repayment Date, compound interest shall accrue at the Default Penalty Rate or

Page 18 of #NUM_PAGES#


SYNDICATED LOAN AGREEMENT — STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Misappropriation Penalty Rate, as applicable, from the beginning of the next Interest Period, treating the unpaid penalty interest as principal.

(5)    The right to charge penalty interest does not affect any other rights or remedies of the Lenders under any Finance Document or applicable law.

5.3 Interest Period

Each Loan shall bear interest during successive periods (each an "Interest Period") until repaid. Unless otherwise provided, each Interest Period shall be [3] months.

Under this Agreement:

(a)    The first Interest Period of each Loan commences on (and includes) its Drawdown Date and ends on (but excludes) the next following Interest Payment Date.

(b)    Each Loan drawn after the first Loan shall be merged with the previously existing Loan(s) at the end of its first Interest Period.

(c)    Each subsequent Interest Period begins on (and includes) the preceding Interest Payment Date and ends on (but excludes) the next Interest Payment Date.

(d)    The last Interest Period of each Loan ends on (but excludes) its final Repayment Date.

If an Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a non-Business Day, it shall be postponed to the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if any), or if there is no such Business Day, it shall be brought forward to the preceding Business Day.

5.4 Interest Accrual

Interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis on the actual number of days elapsed, on the basis of a 360-day year. If any interest rate is adjusted during a period, interest shall be calculated in segments. The Agent Bank shall determine the applicable Interest Rate in accordance with this Agreement and shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender upon determination.

5.5 Payment of Interest

The Borrower shall pay interest accrued in accordance with this Agreement on each Interest Payment Date. The Agent Bank shall notify the Borrower of the interest and/or penalty interest payable on each Interest Payment Date no later than [3] Business Days before such date. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by the Agent Bank to give such notice shall not affect or release the Borrower's payment obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6 REPAYMENT

6.1 Loan Tenor

The tenor of the Loans under this Agreement commences on (and includes) the Drawdown Date of the first Loan and ends on (and includes) the Repayment Date of the last Loan, being a period of no

Page 22 of #NUM_PAGES#


SYNDICATED LOAN AGREEMENT — STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

The Commitment of any Lender affected by a change of law shall be cancelled in accordance with Article 11 (Change of Law).
