(b) If this clause 10.4 applies and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) or the Borrower so requires, the Agent (acting on the instruction of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(c) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

73

(b) at the time of the request by the Agent under paragraph (a) above, the Sharing Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Recovering Finance Party in respect of the relevant Redistributed Amount; and
