For a discussion of these risks see "Risk Factors". £75,000,000 in principal amount of the New Bonds (the New Retained Bonds) will be immediately purchased by the Issuer on the Issue Date (as defined below). Subject as set out below, the net proceeds of a sale of the New Bonds to a third party will be advanced by the Issuer to Hastoe Housing Association Limited (the Borrower) pursuant to a bond loan agreement between the Borrower and the Issuer dated 27th March, 2012 (the Original Loan Agreement) as supplemented by the Supplemental Loan Agreement dated 27th November, 2014 (the First Supplemental Loan Agreement) and by a Second Supplemental Loan Agreement to be dated on or about 20th December, 2018 (the Issue Date) (the Second Supplemental Loan Agreement and, together with the First Supplemental Loan Agreement and the Original Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement) to be applied in accordance with the Borrower's objects. The New Commitment (as defined in the Second Supplemental Loan Agreement) may be drawn in one or more drawings subject to the sale by the Issuer of New Retained Bonds, each in a principal amount up to an amount which corresponds to the Minimum Value of the NAB Charged Properties multiplied by the Issuer's Security Percentage (each as defined below) (in each case, as at the date of such drawing) less the principal amount of all previous drawings in respect of the Commitment. Subject to the sale of New Retained Bonds, any net sale proceeds from a sale by the Issuer of New Retained Bonds (less any Retained Bond Premium Amount (as defined below)) which have not otherwise been drawn by the Borrower shall be retained in a charged account (the Initial Cash Security Account) of the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Account Agreement (and may be invested in Permitted Investments (as defined below)) (the New Retained Bond Retained Proceeds). The New Retained Bond Retained Proceeds shall be advanced to the Borrower at a later date pursuant to the Loan Agreement to the extent that Properties of a corresponding value have been charged as NAB Charged Properties and allocated as part of the Issuer's Apportioned Part. Interest on the New Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrear in equal instalments on 27th March and 27th September in each year at the rate of 5.60 per cent. per annum, commencing on 27th March, 2019, as described in Condition 7 (Interest). Payments of principal of, and interest on, the New Bonds will be made without withholding or deduction on account of United Kingdom taxes unless required by law. In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Issuer may opt to gross up payments due to the Bondholders in respect thereof as described in Condition 10 (Taxation). The Bonds may be redeemed at any time upon the prepayment by the Borrower of the loan (the Loan) in whole or in part in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement at the higher of their principal amount and an amount calculated by reference to the sum of (i) the yield on the relevant outstanding United Kingdom government benchmark gilt having the nearest maturity date to that of the Bonds and (ii) 0.20 per cent., together with accrued interest (or, in respect of a prepayment of the Loan following an event of default thereunder, at their principal amount, together with accrued interest). The Bonds will also be redeemed (a) at their principal amount, plus accrued interest, in the event of a mandatory prepayment of the Loan following the Borrower ceasing to be a Registered Provider of Social Housing (other than if the Borrower regains its status as a Registered Provider of Social Housing within 180 days) or the Loan becoming repayable as a result of a Borrower Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or (b) at their principal amount, plus accrued interest, in full in the event of any withholding or deduction on account of United Kingdom taxes being required and the Issuer not opting to pay (or if, having so opted to pay, the Issuer notifies the Bond Trustee (as defined below) of its intention to cease to pay) additional amounts in respect of such withholding or deduction. Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed at their principal amount on 27th March, 2042 (the Maturity Date).
