"No dividends or non-arm's length transactions   The  Borrower may pay dividends or make any other distributions or advances of a revenue or capital nature to shareholders, or make any payments of principal or interest on amounts owned to related entities or persons (including payment under any shareholder loans), unless there is an Event of Default or such dividend, distribution or payment would result in an Event of Default and provided that (a) the Security Parties are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Finance Documents, including, without limitation (i) the provisions of Clause 12.2 (Financial Covenants) and (ii) Clause 10.14 (Additional Security), (b)  Guarantor A is in compliance with clause 6.4 of Guarantee A, (c) Guarantor B is in compliance with clause 6.4 of Guarantee B and (d) the Other Borrower is in compliance with clause 6.4 of the Collateral Guarantee.  The Borrower shall procure that Guarantor A and Guarantor B shall without the consent of the Agent be permitted to declare or pay Dividends or make any distribution provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) Guarantor A is in compliance with its financial covenants contained in clause 6.8 of Guarantee A, (c) Guarantor B is in compliance with its financial covenants contained in clause 6.8 of Guarantee B, (d) the Other Borrower is in compliance with clause 6.8 of the Collateral Guarantee and (e) the Borrower is in compliance with all the covenants contained in this Supplemental Agreement.  Guarantor A may authorise, declare and distribute a dividend of Rights (as such term is defined in the Shareholder Rights

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 12.3.12 shall prohibit Guarantor A or Guarantor B from buying back already issued share capital. 

Guarantor B may make, pay or declare cash Dividends (or repurchase or declare or make an offer to repurchase Equity Interests in cash) in any fiscal quarter in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of Dividends paid by the Non-Recourse Subsidiaries to Guarantor B (directly or indirectly) in cash during such fiscal quarter and (ii) the Non-Recourse Subsidiary Basket provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of declaration or payment (or would arise after giving effect thereto) and (ii) at the time of such payment or declaration, Guarantor B shall deliver an officer’s certificate to the Agent certifying as to compliance with this clause 12.3.12 and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the Non-Recourse Subsidiary Basket as of such date (collectively, ''Permitted Non-Recourse Subsidiary Dividends'') .

This Clause 12.3.12 shall in all respects be subject to the proviso that no Security Party shall pay Dividends (other than Dividends payable in Equity Interests) until the Trigger Date, other than (i) such Security Party (other than Guarantor B) may pay Dividends to Guarantor B or to any Subsidiary of Guarantor B that owns such Security Party and (ii) Guarantor B may make Permitted Non-Recourse Subsidiary Dividends.  On or after the Trigger Date, any such Dividends shall only be made if (a) Guarantor B maintains unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in an amount of at least $25,000,000 above the minimum liquidity thresholds pursuant to Clause 12.2.2 (Financial Covenants), (b) the Collateral Maintenance Ratio is not less than 200% and (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result from making such dividend, distribution or payment.".

4.2.7       Clause 13.1.4 in the Original Loan Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

(b)      is declared to be, or otherwise becomes, due and payable before its specified maturity as a result of an event of default (however described); or

(c)      is capable of being declared by a creditor to be due and payable before its specified maturity as a result of such an event.

PROVIDED THAT, in respect of the Guarantor such Financial Indebtedness shall be no less than one million Dollars (USD 1,000,000).''.

4.2.8        Clause 13.1.24 in the Original Loan Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:
