Conditions attaching to amounts owed to credit institutions as at 1 January 2007 
The three-year bank term loan of $200.0 million (of which $150.0 million had 
been drawn down) and the $50.0 million revolver carried an interest margin of 
120 basis points, which was adjustable based upon the Standard and Poor's debt 
ratings for Alea. The $50.0 million revolver facility was additionally subject 
to a commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin. 
 
These borrowings fell due for repayment in September 2007. On 19 April 2007, the 
Group repaid $25.0 million of the term loan and all of $50.0 million revolver 
using its cash reserves, leaving an outstanding amount of $125.0 million as at 
30 June 2007. This outstanding amount was repaid using the $90.0 million term 
loan detailed below along with $35.0 million of cash reserves. 
Conditions attaching to the term loan agreed 6 July 2007 
The Group drew down the maximum aggregate commitment under this new term loan 
agreement of $90.0 million. This was due for repayment in three equal 
instalments of $30.0 million on 16 October 2007, 14 January 2008 and 18 July 
2009. However, the Group made an optional prepayment of $60.0 million on 18 July 
2007. The remaining loan of $30.0 million was repaid on 14 January 2008. It 
carried an interest margin of 200 basis points over LIBOR. 
Trust preferred securities 
In December 2004, the Group issued $100.0 million of trust preferred securities 
and had in place a commitment for an additional $20.0 million of trust preferred 
securities issued in January 2005. These securities (issued from three Delaware 
trusts established by Alea Holdings US Company ('AHUSCO'), of which one trust 
was established in January 2005) provide for a preferred dividend at a rate of 
three month LIBOR plus 285 basis points. These securities allow for the 
postponement of preferred dividends under certain circumstances for up to five 
years. These securities carry no financial covenants and no cross default 
covenants, have a fixed maturity of 30 years, and are callable after five years. 
AHUSCO may not optionally redeem the Debentures and thereby retire the trust 
preferred securities until the interest payment date following the fifth 
anniversary of issue. The earliest call date is 15 March 2010 for the first 
issue and 15 June 2010 for the second and third issues. The holders of the 
Debentures may not call the Debentures prior to their maturity dates.
