 Subject to this Clause 9, the duration of each Interest Period for each Advance under a Facility shall be one, two or three months, in each case as the Company may, by not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Facility Agent for such Facility (or, as the case may be, each Additional Facility Lender and the Revolving Credit Facility Lenders), select, provided that Term Loan Facility Advances with the same Advance Date shall have the same Interest Period and, save in the case of each Initial Advance made thereunder, the first Interest Period for each Advance made under a Term Loan Facility shall end on the

 

- 94 -


 

same day as the end of the current Interest Period of any other outstanding Advance made under the same Facility.

 

  9.3.3 If the Company fails to give such notice of its selection in relation to an Interest Period, the duration of such Interest Period shall, subject to this Clause 9, be 3 months.

 

  9.3.4 Any Interest Period which would otherwise extend beyond:

 

  (a) a Repayment Date (in the case of any Interest Period relating to an Advance under the Hotel Facility, the Project Facility or an Additional Lender Facility); or

 

  (b) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (in the case of any Interest Period relating to an Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility),

 

shall be of such duration that it shall end on such date.

 

  9.3.5  If two or more Interest Periods relating to Advances in the same currency under the same Term Loan Facility end at the same time, then, on the last day of such Interest Periods, such Advances shall be consolidated into and treated as a single Advance.

 

  9.3.6  The Company shall use reasonable efforts to at all times select the duration of Interest Periods so as to ensure that, in respect of such of the Advances outstanding under the Facilities as is from time to time equal to the Notional Amounts specified in the Hedging Agreements, the Interest Payment Dates for such Advances coincide with (and are no more frequent than) the selected dates for payment of amounts to the Company under the Hedging Agreements.

 

  9.3.7  Any Interest Period which would end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

 

  9.3.8  Interest on an Advance shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period relating to such Advance up to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

 

9.4 Default interest

 

  9.4.1 

If the Company fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Senior Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on such Unpaid Sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to sub-clause 9.4.2 below, is 2% higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted an Advance under the relevant Facility Agreement in the currency of the overdue amount (or, where there is no such relevant Facility Agreement, an Advance in the relevant currency under the Hotel Facility Agreement) for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the relevant Facility Agent, Additional Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders (each

 

- 95 -


 

acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this sub-clause 9.4.1 shall be immediately payable by the Company on demand in writing by the Intercreditor Agent or the relevant Facility Agent.

 

  9.4.2  If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of an Advance which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Advance:

 

  (a) the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Advance; and

 

  (b) the rate of interest applying to the Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be 2% per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

 

  9.4.3  Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum shall be compounded with the Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that Unpaid Sum but shall remain immediately due and payable.

 

10. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

 

10.1 Absence of quotations

 

Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or HIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks under any Facility Agreement but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation on the Quotation Day under such Facility Agreement, the applicable LIBOR or HIBOR for the purpose of such Facility Agreement shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks under such Facility Agreement. Where LIBOR or HIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks under any Facility Agreement and none or only one Reference Bank supplies a quotation, then LIBOR or, as the case may be, HIBOR shall be treated as incapable of being determined under such Facility Agreement.

 

10.2 Market disruption

 

  10.2.1  If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance under a Facility for any Interest Period, the relevant Facility Agent or, as the case may be, Additional Lender or Revolving Credit Facility Lender, shall promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent of the fact and that this Clause 10.2 is in operation and the Intercreditor Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the other Lenders.

 

  10.2.2  For the purpose of this Clause 10.2, “Market Disruption Event” means:

 

  (a) in the case of a US dollar Advance:

 

  (i) it is not possible, in respect of the Facility under which such Advance is made, to determine LIBOR in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Facility Agreement and Clause 10.1 (Absence of quotations); or

 

- 96 -


  (ii) before the close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Intercreditor Agent has been notified by a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in such Advance exceed 50 per cent of the Advance) that the cost to it/them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR;

 

  (b) in the case of a HK dollar Advance:

 

  (i) it is not possible, in respect of the Facility under which such Advance is made, to determine HIBOR in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Facility Agreement and Clause 10.1 (Absence of quotations); or

 

  (ii) before the close of business in Hong Kong on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Intercreditor Agent has been notified by a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in such Advance exceed 50 per cent of the Advance) that the cost to it/them of obtaining matching deposits in the Hong Kong interbank market would be in excess of HIBOR.

 

  10.2.3  Within five Business Days of the Intercreditor Agent notifying the Company in accordance with sub-clause 10.2.1 above, the Company and the Intercreditor Agent shall enter into good faith negotiations for a period of up to thirty days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest applicable to the relevant Advances. Any alternative basis agreed shall be binding on all parties hereto until (subject to the terms of such agreement) the Market Disruption Event referred to in sub-clause 10.2.1 above is at an end and the Intercreditor Agent has notified the Facility Agents, any Additional Lenders, the Revolving Credit Facility Lenders and the Company accordingly.

 

  10.2.4  If no alternative basis is agreed pursuant to sub-clause 10.2.3 above by the earlier of (i) the thirty-day period provided in sub-clause 10.2.3 above and (ii) the Advance Date (where the notification under sub-clause 10.2.1 applies to any Advance which has not been made) or the last day of the Interest Period (where the notification under sub-clause 10.2.1 applies to an Advance which is outstanding), then each Lender participating in the relevant Advance shall, acting reasonably, certify an alternative basis for maintaining its participation in the relevant Advance which may include an alternative method of fixing the interest rate, alternative Interest Periods or alternative currencies but such alternative basis must reflect its cost of funding its participation in the relevant Advance from whatever sources it may in good faith select plus the applicable interest margin applicable to that Lender’s participation in the relevant Advance. Each alternative basis so certified shall be binding on the Company and the certifying Lender and treated as part of this Agreement and the relevant Facility Agreement.

 

- 97 -


10.3 Break Costs

 

  10.3.1  The Company shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Senior Secured Creditor, pay to that Senior Secured Creditor its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of an Advance or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Company on a day other than an Interest Payment Date for that Advance or Unpaid Sum.

 

  10.3.2  Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Intercreditor Agent or the Company, provide a certificate confirming the amount and providing reasonable supporting evidence of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

 

11. TAX GROSS UP AND INDEMNITIES

Similarly, a Senior Secured Creditor shall notify the Intercreditor Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Senior Secured Creditor. If the Intercreditor Agent receives such notification from a Senior Secured Creditor it shall promptly notify the Company.

 

  11.2.3  If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company, the amount of the payment due from the Company shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the amount which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

 

  11.2.4  If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

 

  11.2.5  After making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Company shall, if so requested in writing by the Intercreditor Agent, deliver to the Intercreditor Agent the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Senior Secured Creditor that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Company shall not be obliged to provide any such evidence from a Governmental Authority to the extent that it is not provided by such Governmental Authority).

  (ii) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Senior Secured Creditor’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

 

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Senior Secured Creditor; or

 

  (b) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.2 (Tax gross-up).

 

  11.3.3  A Senior Secured Creditor making, or intending to make a claim under sub-clause 11.3.1 above shall promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent of the event which shall give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Intercreditor Agent shall promptly notify the Company.

 

  11.3.4  A Senior Secured Creditor shall, on receiving a payment from the Company under this Clause 11.3, notify the Intercreditor Agent.

 

  11.3.5  Each Senior Secured Creditor shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Intercreditor Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of the loss, liability or cost referred to in sub-clause 11.3.1 above and the basis thereof.

 

11.4 Tax Credit

 

If the Company makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Senior Secured Creditor determines that:

 

  11.4.1  a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and

 

  11.4.2 

that Senior Secured Creditor has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

 

- 99 -


 

that Senior Secured Creditor shall pay an amount to the Company which that Senior Secured Creditor determines shall leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been made by the Company.

 

11.5 Stamp taxes

 

The Company shall pay and, within fifteen days of demand, indemnify each Senior Secured Creditor against any cost, loss or liability that a Senior Secured Creditor incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Senior Finance Document.

  (b) compliance with any request or requirement relating to the maintenance of capital or any other request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary, regulatory or other authority.

 

  12.1.2  In this Agreement “Increased Costs” means:

 

  (a) a reduction in the rate of return from a Facility or on a Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital (including as a result of any reduction in the rate of return on capital brought about by more capital being required to be allocated by such Lender or Affiliate);

 

  (b) an additional or increased cost; or

 

  (c) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Senior Finance Document,

12.2 Increased cost claims

 

  12.2.1  When a Senior Secured Creditor intends to make a claim pursuant to Clause 12.1 (Increased costs), it shall notify the Intercreditor Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Intercreditor Agent shall promptly notify the Company.

  12.3.2  compensated for by Clause 11.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 11.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in sub-clause 11.3.2 of Clause 11.3 (Tax indemnity) applied); or

  13.1.1  the Company shall indemnify that Senior Secured Creditor as an independent obligation against any costs, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion; and

 

  13.1.2  if the amount received by that Senior Secured Creditor, when converted into the contractual currency at a market rate in the usual course of its business is less than the amount owed in the contractual currency and such is specified to the Company in reasonable detail, the Company shall, within 3 Business Days of its receipt of a written demand by such Senior Secured Creditor, pay to that Senior Secured Creditor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit.

If any Lender wishes to transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under this Agreement and the corresponding rights, benefits and/or obligations under the other Senior Finance Documents as contemplated in Clause 21.4 (Assignment and Transfer by Lenders), then such transfer shall only be effective if the procedure set out in this Clause 21.6 is complied with. Such transfer shall be effected by the delivery to the Intercreditor Agent (which the Intercreditor Agent shall promptly copy to the Company and the other Senior Secured Creditors) of:

 

  (a) a duly completed Novation Certificate executed by such Lender, the relevant Transferee, the Intercreditor Agent and all other parties hereto acting through the Intercreditor Agent for this purpose (the authority for which is hereby conferred on the Intercreditor Agent); and

in which event, on the later of the Transfer Date specified in such Novation Certificate and the fifth Business Day after (or such earlier Business Day endorsed by the Intercreditor Agent on such Novation Certificate falling on or after) the date of delivery of such Novation Certificate and Finance Party Accession Undertaking to the Intercreditor Agent:

 

  21.6.1  to the extent that in such Novation Certificate the Lender party thereto seeks to transfer by novation its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement and the corresponding rights, benefits and obligations under the other Senior Finance Documents, the Company and such Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under this Agreement and the corresponding rights, benefits and/or obligations under the other Senior Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Clause 21.6 as “discharged rights and obligations”);

 

  21.6.2  each of the Company and the Transferee shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from such discharged rights and obligations only insofar the Company and such Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of such other party and such Lender;

 

  21.6.3

 the Agents, the GCLAs, such Transferee and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and benefits and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee been an original party to this Agreement and the other relevant Senior Finance Documents as a Lender with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer and to that extent the Agents, the GCLAs and the

 

- 108 -


 

relevant Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement and the other relevant Senior Finance Documents; and

 

  21.6.4  such Transferee shall become a party hereto as a “Lender” and to the relevant Facility Agreement as a “Hotel Facility Lender”, “Project Facility Lender”, “Additional Lender” or “Revolving Credit Facility Lender” (as the case may be).

On the date upon which an assignment takes effect pursuant to Clause 21.5 (Assignments by Lenders) or a transfer takes effect pursuant to Clause 21.6 (Transfers by Lenders), the relevant assignee or Transferee shall pay to the Intercreditor Agent for its own account a fee of USD1,500.

  21.8.2  in the case of a Lender, with (or through) whom such Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to the Senior Finance Documents or any Obligor; or

 

  21.8.3  to whom information may be required to be disclosed by any applicable law or pursuant to any regulatory or stock exchange requirement;

 

such information about any Obligor, the Projects and the Senior Finance Documents as such Senior Secured Creditor may consider appropriate, provided that the Person to whom such information is provided under sub-clause 21.8.1 or 21.8.2 first enters into a Confidentiality Undertaking (or, in the case of the Security Agent, the confidentiality undertaking referred to in clause 18.9 (Disclosure of Information by Security Agent) of the Deed of Appointment and Priority) and that the Company has received an original copy of such signed undertaking.

 

21.9  Change of Facility Office

 

Any Lender may change its Facility Office provided that the Company shall have no liability (or no increase in liability) under Clause 11 (Tax gross-up and Indemnities) or Clause 12 (Increased costs) which would not exist as at the date of such change but for such change, unless such change was requested by the Company pursuant to Clause 15 (Mitigation by the Senior Secured Creditors).

Company or, failing such agreement within 15 Business Days after such notice of resignation, the Lending Group may appoint a successor Agent on the same terms and conditions as previously applied to the outgoing Agent.

 

  23.12.2  If the Required Lenders have not, within 15 Business Days after notice of resignation, appointed a successor Intercreditor Agent which accepts the appointment, the outgoing Agent may appoint a successor Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such appointment shall be subject to the prior agreement of the Intercreditor Agent and the Company or, failing such agreement within 25 Business Days after notice of resignation, the Intercreditor Agent may appoint a successor Agent on the same terms and conditions as previously applied to it.

  23.12.4  If, at the time of expiry of the period specified in sub-clause 23.12.2 or, as the case may be, sub-clause 23.12.3 above, the outgoing Agent cannot find a successor owing to the unwillingness of any proposed successor to accept the terms and conditions which apply to the outgoing Agent, the Company shall offer to any proposed successor such terms and conditions as are consistent with the role to be performed, taking into account the current market for the performance of such duties and the then existing circumstances of the Projects.

 

  23.12.5  If the Agent has not been paid an amount due to it under the Senior Finance Documents and gives notice thereof as its reason for resigning together with its notice pursuant to Clause 23.12.1, it shall not be obliged to appoint a successor.

  23.12.8  Each Facility Agent agrees that it shall, if so requested in writing by its Lending Group, tender its resignation in accordance with this Clause 23.12.

 

  23.12.9  Upon the appointment of a successor (or, as the case may be, its resignation becoming effective), the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any future (but not accrued) obligations in respect of the Senior Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 13.2 (Other Indemnities) and sub-clauses 23.1, 23.2, 23.5.2, 23.5.3, 23.6.10, 23.8, 23.9, 23.10 and 23.15 of this Clause 23.

  23.13.1  the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Projects and each Obligor;

  23.13.4  the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information provided by the Agents or the GCLAs, an Obligor, or by any other Person in connection with the Senior Finance Documents, the transactions contemplated therein or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, pursuant to or in connection with the Senior Finance Documents.

 

Accordingly, each Senior Secured Creditor acknowledges to the Agents and the GCLAs that it has not relied on and shall not hereafter rely on the Agents and the GCLAs or any of them in respect of any of these matters.

 

- 117 -


23.14  Agency Division Separate

 

In acting as Agent under the Senior Finance Documents, each of the Agents shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments and, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 23, any information received by some other division or department of such Agent may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to such Agent’s agency division.

 

23.15  Indemnity to Intercreditor Agent

 

  23.15.1  Each Senior Secured Creditor shall rateably in accordance with its entitlement to the Senior Secured Indebtedness (or, in the case of each Lender, if no Advances have been made, in the proportion borne by its share of the aggregate undrawn Available Commitments of all Lenders to the aggregate undrawn Available Commitments of all Lenders) for the time being (or, if all Advances have been repaid or all Available Commitments reduced to zero, immediately prior to the repayment thereof or, as the case may be, such reduction), indemnify the Intercreditor Agent, within fifteen days of demand (accompanied by reasonable written certification), against cost, loss or liability incurred by the Intercreditor Agent (other than by reason of the fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of the Intercreditor Agent) in acting as Intercreditor Agent in accordance with the terms of the Senior Finance Documents (unless the Intercreditor Agent has been reimbursed by, or indemnified to its satisfaction by, an Obligor pursuant to a Senior Finance Document or otherwise in writing). For the purposes of this Clause 23.15.1, each Hedging Counterparty shall, in respect of each Hedging Agreement entered into by it, be deemed to have made an Advance to the Company in an amount equal to the Realised Hedge Loss (if any) under the Hedging Agreement to which such Hedging Counterparty is party.

 

  23.15.2  Clause 23.15.1 shall not apply to the extent that the Intercreditor Agent is otherwise actually indemnified or reimbursed by any Party under any other provision of the Senior Finance Documents.

 

  23.15.3  Provided that the Company is required to reimburse or indemnify the Intercreditor Agent for such cost, loss or liability in accordance with the terms of the Senior Finance Documents, the Company shall, within fifteen days of demand in writing by any Senior Secured Creditor, indemnify such Senior Secured Creditor in relation to any payment actually made by such Senior Secured Creditor pursuant to sub-clause 23.15.1 above.

 

24. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE SENIOR SECURED CREDITORS

 

No provision of the Senior Finance Documents shall:

 

  24.1.1  interfere with the right of any Senior Secured Creditor to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

 

- 118 -


  24.1.2  subject to Clause 15 (Mitigation by Senior Secured Creditors), oblige any Senior Secured Creditor to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

 

  24.1.3  oblige any Senior Secured Creditor to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

 

25. SHARING AMONG THE SENIOR SECURED CREDITORS

 

25.1 Payments to Senior Secured Creditors

 

If a Senior Secured Creditor (a “Recovering Senior Secured Creditor”) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Finance Documents (excluding any such provision which permits the setting off of obligations owed by such Obligor against obligations owed to it by such Recovering Senior Secured Creditor but allowing, for the avoidance of doubt, any such provision in any Hedging Agreement permitting netting off between transactions under such Hedging Agreement) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Senior Finance Documents then:

 

  25.1.1  the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor shall, within 5 Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Intercreditor Agent;

 

  25.1.2  the Intercreditor Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received and distributed in accordance with this Agreement, without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on that Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

 

  25.1.3  the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor shall, within 10 Business Days of demand by the Intercreditor Agent, pay to the Intercreditor Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Intercreditor Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with this Agreement.

 

25.2 Redistribution of payments

 

The Intercreditor Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Company and distribute it between the Senior Secured Creditors (other than the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor) in accordance with this Agreement.

 

25.3 Recovering Senior Secured Creditor’s Rights

 

  25.3.1  On a distribution by the Intercreditor Agent under 25.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Secured Creditors which have shared in the redistribution.

 

  25.3.2 

If and to the extent that the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor is not able to rely on its rights under sub-clause 25.3.1 above, the Company shall be liable to

 

- 119 -


 

the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

 

25.4 Reversal of redistribution

 

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Senior Secured Creditor becomes repayable and is repaid by such Recovering Senior Secured Creditor, then:

 

  25.4.1  each Senior Secured Creditor which has received a share of such Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 25.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Intercreditor Agent, pay to the Intercreditor Agent for account of that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor is required to pay); and

 

  25.4.2  that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Company shall be liable to the reimbursing Senior Secured Creditor for the amount so reimbursed.

 

25.5 Exceptions

 

This Clause 25 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

 

25.6 Benefit

 

The provisions of this Clause 25 are for the sole benefit of the Senior Secured Creditors and may be waived or amended by the Required Lenders without the consent of the Company provided there is no increase in the liability of the Company as a result.

 

26. PAYMENT MECHANICS

 

26.1 Payments under the Senior Finance Documents

Realised Hedge Loss plus any accrued default interest in accordance with paragraph 10 below, shall be a permitted Project Cost.

 

In this paragraph and paragraphs 7 and 10 below, “Realised Hedge Loss” means, in relation to a Hedging Counterparty at any time, the amount (if any) payable (but unpaid) by the Company to such Hedging Counterparty under the Hedging Agreement to which such Hedging Counterparty is a party (but excluding any default interest) upon an early termination of any transaction or transactions thereunder which has been terminated in accordance with paragraph 9 below. The amount is to be calculated on a net basis across the transactions under such Hedging Agreement in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement.

  (a) any payment under the Hedging Agreement being required to be made by the Company on any date other than the dates originally provided for in the Hedging Agreement;

 

  (b) the Company becoming liable to make an additional payment under any Hedging Agreement which liability does not arise from the original provisions of the Hedging Agreement; or

  (b) A Hedging Counterparty may terminate a transaction under a Hedging Agreement prior to its stated maturity only in circumstances provided for in such Hedging Agreement.

 

  (c) Unless a Hedging Counterparty has already exercised such rights in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) above, the Intercreditor Agent may require a Hedging Counterparty to terminate transactions under a Hedging Agreement where a declaration has been made by the Intercreditor Agent pursuant to Clause 19.2.2 (Remedies following an Event of Default).

 

- 278 -


  (d) If a voluntary or mandatory prepayment is to be made in accordance with Clause 8 (Repayments, Prepayments and Cancellation) and following such prepayment the aggregate amount of the “Notional Amounts” (as defined in the 2000 Definitions) of all Hedging Agreements at such time would be greater than 125% of the principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facilities, the Company shall unwind, in order of maturity immediately following such prepayment (unless otherwise agreed by the Intercreditor Agent), sufficient transactions under the Hedging Agreements (and pay associated breakage costs) on the first Payment Date (as defined in the 2000 Definitions) (or, where such prepayment falls within 5 Business Days (as defined in the relevant Hedging Agreement) prior to such first Payment Date, the second Payment Date) in respect of such transaction immediately succeeding such prepayment such that the Intercreditor Agent is satisfied that, following such terminations, the aggregate Notional Amounts of all transactions under all Hedging Agreements is not less than 50% and not more than 125% of the principal amounts outstanding under the Facilities.

 

10. In the event that a Hedging Agreement is terminated and the Company fails to pay any Realised Hedge Loss, such Realised Hedge Loss shall comprise an Unpaid Sum and interest shall accrue in respect thereof accordingly.
