15. Interest on Outstanding Payments
In the event of either Party failing to remit sums in accordance with this Agreement such Party hereby undertakes to pay to the other Party upon demand interest (before as well as after judgment) on the net balance due and outstanding, for the period commencing on and inclusive of the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, in the same currency as the principal sum and at the rate referred to in paragraph 11.7.

Clause 15 of the 2010 GMSLA is identical to Clause 15 of the 2018 Pledge GMSLA. Note the sneaky reference to the default interest rate drafting in Clause 11.7, which falls back to — dramatic look gopher — LIBOR, and means that 11.7 isn’t, after all, restricted only to professional fees. This is absolutely dreadful drafting from ISLA’s crack drafting squad™.
