PERIOD OF OFFER

 

This agreement shall come into effect only if the Bank receives from you and finds in order a signed copy of this agreement on or before 15th August 2011 for such later date as the Bank may agree).

 

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Use of Loan Proceeds

 

1.1 Unless the loan is only for working capital or general business purposes, the amount borrowed shall be held in trust for the Bank until used for the purpose stated in the SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

 

Repayment

 

2.1 You will repay the loan on the dates and in the manner set out in the REPAYMENT section of the SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

 

If you fail to make any repayment in full and by the time the Bank calculates the next repayment instalment amount, the Bank may (at its discretion and without prejudice to the Bank’s rights expressed in clause 6.1 below):

 

  (a) increase the amount of that next instalment and each of your remaining regular instalments proportionately to ensure that the full balance of the loan is repaid within the agreed term of the loan;
     
  (b) extend the term of the loan; or
     
  (c) increase the amount of the final repayment instalment.

 

The Bank will apply any payments it receives from you against any interest before any other amounts on your account, including the outstanding principal balance of the loan. This will not apply to payments made specifically for fees and/or charges or where the Bank collects the interest and principal that make up your repayment from separate accounts.

 

2.2 You may at any time after giving at least 5 business days’ notice to the Bank make early repayment of all of the loan together with interest accrued to the date of payment and any amount that may be payable pursuant to clause 2.3 below. The loan may not be borrowed again once it has been repaid. You may not make an early repayment of part of the loan unless the Bank agrees to the request by you to make such an early repayment. If the Bank agrees to allow an early repayment of part of the loan, such early repayment shall be made together with interest accrued to the date of payment and any amount that may be payable pursuant to clause 2.3 below. Each early repayment of part of the loan must be of at least £10.000 (excluding accrued interest) and no amount repaid early may be borrowed again. If the loan is to be repaid in more than one amount, the Bank will decide how to apply the early repayment, either (a) by reducing subsequent repayments proportionately or (b) by applying the early repayment to the then latest scheduled repayment instalments so as to reduce the term of the loan.

   

2.3 The fixed rate of interest will protect you against the risk of an increase in interest rates during the time the fixed rate applies. The Bank, however, also needs to be protected if you repay the loan early or for any reason you do not borrow the loan in full within the period or, as the case may be, on the date agreed, and owing to a fall in interest rates the Bank is not able to re-lend at the same interest rate as for the loan.
   
  You. therefore, agree that, if interest on the loan is to be payable at a fixed rate of interest during any part of its term and (a) for any reason you do not borrow the loan in full within the period or, as the case may be, on the date agreed, or (b) on any day during any fixed rate period you repay the loan early in whole or in part or are required (pursuant to the terms of this agreement) to repay the loan early (the date referred to in (a) or, as the case may be, (b) above being hereinafter referred to as the “Break Date”) you will pay to the Bank on the Break Date the Break Cost and an administration fee of £250.

 

For the purposes of this agreement, the “Break Cost” is the amount by which:

 

  (i) the gross interest which the Bank would have been entitled to receive on the amount not borrowed or. as the case may be. on the amount repaid early (had the loan been drawn in full and repaid in accordance with the originally agreed repayment structure) for the period from the Break Date to the last day of the fixed rate period less any amount payable in respect of the interest margin chargeable by the Bank,
     
  Exceeds  
     
  (ii) the interest which the Bank would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount not borrowed or, as the case may be, the amount repaid early on deposit with a leading bank in the London interbank market for the period from the Break Date to the last day of the fixed rate period and with the same repayment structure as agreed for the loan

.

The Bank will certify (such certificate to be conclusive in the absence of fraud or manifest error) lo you the Break Cost.

Increased Costs and Changes in Circumstances

 

3.1In running its business the Bank and any holding company of the Bank each has to comply with certain regulations and requirements laid down by regulatory and other official organisations or bodies as well as the law generally. The rate of interest quoted in the SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS has been set in the light of how this affects the cost (to the Bank and any such holding company) of the Bank funding, agreeing to make and of making the loan available at the time the Bank signed this agreement. If. as a result of any new laws, regulations or requirements or any changes in existing ones or in the interpretation or application of any existing ones, such cost is increased, the Bank may increase the rate of interest charged on the loan to compensate for that extra cost. The Bank will advise you in writing within 30 days of such increase taking effect

 

3.2The fixed rate of interest specified in the SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS includes regulatory costs. These arc the costs to the Bank at the time the Bank signed this agreement in funding, agreeing to make and making the loan available that result from complying with the liquidity, monetary control, prudential requirements and supervisory charge requirements of the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority and any other regulatory authority. Regulatory costs may vary from time to time and any such variation may result in the Bank changing the fixed rate of interest payable on the loan. The Bank will determine the regulatory costs on each date interest on the loan is due to be paid and, if in the Bank’s opinion there is then a material difference (either up or down) in regulatory costs it will advise you in writing within 30 days of the new rate of interest then to apply to the loan.

Such an amendment will be only to the extent the Bank thinks necessary to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the London interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency and to put the Bank in the same position, so far as possible, that it would have been in if no change in currency had occurred.
       
(b)   The Bank can also change any term of this agreement at any time (even if” an Event of Default has not occurred):
       
  (i) to reflect the introduction of or any other change in law or in any code of practice which applies to the Bank or the way the Bank is regulated;
       
  (ii) to reflect any changes the Bank makes to its systems or processes: or
       
  (iii) if the change is to your advantage.
       
(c)   If the Bank makes a change pursuant to this clause 3.3 which is to your disadvantage, the Bank will give you 30 days’ prior notice. This notice may be by letter, email, text, statement inserts or messages or in any other way which is sent to you. The Bank can make any other changes straight away by telling you personally or by putting notices in a selection of national newspapers, in its branches or on its website within the next 30 days.
       
(d)   At any time within 60 days of receipt of the Bank’s 30 days’ notice (as referred to in paragraph (c) above) you may make early repayment of all (but not part) of the loan.
