          Entry, with vacant possession to every part of the Subjects, shall be
          given on the Date of Entry, when the Price, together with all Value

2.3       Interest and late settlement by the Purchaser

          the base rate for the time being of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc

          Purchaser, acting reasonably that the Seller is registered for Value
          Added Tax purposes and (ii) adequate evidence satisfactory to the
          Purchaser acting reasonably that such Value Added Tax is properly
          chargeable (including where such tax is chargeable by reason of an
