CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 31, 2015, among (a) OOGTK LIBRA GMBH & CO KG, a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) organized and existing under the laws of Austria, registered with the Austrian companies register (Firmenbuch) under the registration number FN 423769 s (the “Borrower”), (b) the financial institutions from time to time party hereto as Lenders, (c) HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Facility Agent, and (d) HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Collateral Agent.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS the Borrower has been organized to arrange the engineering, procurement, conversion, construction, completion and ownership of an external turret, extended well test floating production, storage and offloading unit (the “FPSO”), all as more fully described in the Project Documents, to be chartered to Petrobras, in its capacity as the leader and operator of the Consortium, under the Charter Agreement;

WHEREAS the Borrower is a party to the Construction Contracts relating to the construction of the FPSO;

WHEREAS in order to enable the Borrower to pay certain Project Costs, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to provide the credit facilities described herein; and

WHEREAS the Lenders are willing to provide the credit facilities described herein upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions and Rules of Interpretation

1.1 Defined Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including in the recitals above) and its Appendices, Schedules and Exhibits shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A hereto.

1.2 Rules of Interpretation. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix A hereto shall apply to this Agreement.

1.3 Accounting Principles. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to financial matters, and all financial statements to be delivered by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made or prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles (including principles of consolidation where appropriate) applied on a consistent basis (except to the extent approved or required by the independent public accountants certifying such statements and disclosed therein).

1.4 Currency. To the extent that the determination of compliance with any provision hereof or any other Financing Document (other than the Required Hedging Agreements) requires the conversion of one currency into another, then such conversion shall be made:

(a) in the case of Dollars and Reais, based upon the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of Reais, or the Reais Equivalent of the amount of Dollars, as the case may be; or


(b) in the case of any other currency, based on the spot rate at which such currency is offered for sale to the Facility Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of determination thereof (and if for any reason such spot rate cannot be so determined, the Facility Agent shall determine a rate of exchange on such basis as the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) deems fair and equitable in consultation with the Borrower), as determined on the date of each respective incurrence, creation, sale, transfer, disposition, expenditure or other similar event, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable provision.

Section 2. Commitments and Loans

2.1 The Loans. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, from time to time during the Availability Period, loans (each a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower, which Loans shall (i) be made and maintained in Dollars, (ii) not exceed for any Lender, in aggregate principal amount, that amount which equals the Commitment of such Lender and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Loans are available only on the terms and conditions specified hereunder, and once repaid, in whole or in part, at maturity or by prepayment, may not be reborrowed in whole or in part.

(c) The Borrower agrees that the Loans will be applied only to (i) repay the Indebtedness under the Bridge Loan Agreement and (ii) finance (x) Eligible IDC and fees accruing on the Loans during the Availability Period specified herein, and (y) other Project Costs.

(d) The parties hereto agree that (i) the obligations of each of the Financing Parties hereunder are several and not joint and no Financing Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financing Party to satisfy its obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document and (ii) the rights and interests of each of the Financing Parties hereunder are several and the amounts due to each constitute a separate and independent debt.

2.2 Notice of Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1, it shall give the Facility Agent at its Notice Office at least (a) three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed date of the Borrowing in respect of the first Disbursement and (b) four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed date of the Borrowing in respect of each subsequent Disbursement; provided, that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time). If such notice is given to the Facility Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a particular Business Day, such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the next Business Day. Each such notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day during the Availability Period). Following the receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Facility Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of the proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

2.3 Pro Rata Borrowings; Availability; Advance Working Capital Disbursement; Final Disbursement Amount. (a) Each Borrowing of Loans shall occur during the Availability Period and be incurred ratably among the Lenders based upon the amount of their respective Unutilized Commitments. It is agreed that, subject to the satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent, each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan hereunder.

(b) Any portion of the Commitment of any Lender not utilized during the Availability Period shall be cancelled and the Total Commitment shall be reduced accordingly.

 

2


(c) The Borrower may include, in the Notice of Borrowing for the Shipyard Delivery Date Loans and/or in any subsequent Notice of Borrowing, a request for a Disbursement (an “Advance Working Capital Disbursement”) for an amount to be applied, together with Equity Contributions in an amount of not less than the amount required to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.2(e), to pay Operation and Maintenance Expenses as set forth in the Capex Budget under the “Working Capital” item incurred during and in connection with the start up and operation of the Facilities (“Advance Working Capital Expenses”). Advance Working Capital Disbursements shall not exceed in aggregate, together with Equity Contributions in an amount as required to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.2(e), seven million, two hundred thousand Dollars ($7,200,000) (the “Advance Working Capital Amount”). Each Advance Working Capital Disbursement shall be applied to Advance Working Capital Expenses which, as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing, are (x) due and payable, or (y) have been or will be incurred and will become due and payable within sixty (60) days after the Commercial Operation Date. In the event that the Advance Working Capital Amount has not been fully utilized for Advance Working Capital Expenses following the expiry of the date falling sixty (60) days after the Commercial Operation Date, any remaining amounts may be utilized for other Project Costs before the earlier of (i) the date falling six (6) months after the Commercial Operation Date and (ii) the Project Completion Date, provided that if any amounts remain unutilized after such date, such amounts shall be applied by the Borrower to prepay the Loans in accordance with Sections 6.3(f) and 6.3(g) on the next Interest Payment Date.

(d) With respect to the final Disbursement of the Loans, the Borrower may include in the relevant Notice of Borrowing a request for a Borrowing for an amount to be applied, together with Equity Contributions in an amount of not less than the amount required to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.2(e), to pay, in the following order of priorities: (i) first, Project Costs (other than those referred to in clause (ii) below) which as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing are (x) due and payable, (y) have been incurred and will become due and payable within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the Availability Period (including Accrued Construction Period Interest), or (z) have not yet been incurred but are estimated by the Borrower, in good faith, as necessary to complete any remaining Punch List items, the amount of which cannot be ascertained as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing but which is payable within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the Availability Period; provided that such estimate shall be confirmed by the Technical Advisor (in addition to its certificate required under Section 3.2(a)(ii)); and (ii) second, to the extent any Commitments remain unutilized after amounts are drawn for payments under clause (i) above, the Petrobras Net Delay LD Amounts, estimated by the Borrower in good faith and in accordance with the terms of the Charter Agreement, Services Agreement and EPC Contract, and without regard to any claims or potential claims by the Borrower or the Operator for excused delays due to force majeure or other circumstances or events, any possible claims for set-off, or any other reductions but taking into account any legally binding agreement reached with Petrobras in connection with the Petrobras Delay LD Amounts.

(e) In the event that any Disbursement amounts under clause (i) of Section 2.3(d)2.3(c) have not been utilized for Project Costs as contemplated in such clause before the earlier of (i) the date falling six (6) months after the Commercial Operation Date and (ii) the Project Completion Date, such unutilized amount shall be applied by the Borrower to prepay the Loans in accordance with Sections 6.3(f) and 6.3(g) on the next Interest Payment Date.

(f) In the event that any Disbursement amounts under clause (ii) of Section 2.3(d) remain unutilized following the settlement in full of the Petrobras Net Delay LD Amounts, such unutilized amount shall be applied by the Borrower to prepay the Loans in accordance with Sections 6.3(f) and Section 6.3(g) on the next Interest Payment Date.

2.4 Minimum Amount and Maximum Number of Borrowings, Etc. (a) The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing (i) shall not be less $1,000,000 (excluding any Borrowing for the payment of Eligible IDC) and (ii) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Unutilized Commitments for all Lenders; provided that following the issuance of any Notice of Borrowing, no further Borrowing may be requested until the Disbursement of the previously requested Borrowing is made.

 

3


(b) The Borrower may not make more than two (2) Borrowings per calendar month during the Availability Period, without taking into account for purposes of such limitation any Borrowing made in accordance with Section 2.5(c).

2.5 Disbursement of Funds. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the relevant Disbursement Date, each Lender will make available, through such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of the Loans requested to be made on such date, in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent will deposit the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders into the Offshore Construction Account.

(b) Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the relevant Disbursement Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowing on such date, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent on such date, and the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount; provided that the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders promptly following the Facility Agent’s becoming aware that any Lender does not intend to make or has not made available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowing on such date. If, having made such corresponding amount available to the Borrower, such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Facility Agent by such Lender, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender on demand. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Facility Agent’s demand therefor, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly repay such corresponding amount received by it to the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Facility Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Facility Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if such amount is recovered from such Lender, the cost to the Facility Agent of acquiring overnight federal funds at the then applicable rate, and (ii) if such amount is recovered from the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest in respect of the Loans as provided herein, it being understood that the then applicable rate of interest shall exclude any default interest that may otherwise be due and payable. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make a Loan hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

(c) In the event that on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to any Interest Payment Date the Borrower has not submitted a Notice of Borrowing for Loans to be made for the payment of Eligible IDC due on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.6, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally requests, authorizes and directs each Lender to make a Loan to the Borrower in the amount of its pro rata portion of such Eligible IDC without the need for any further authority or direction from the Borrower. The Lenders will not be required to pay any such Loans to the Borrower, but shall apply the proceeds thereof in payment of the Eligible IDC due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and each Lender will be deemed to have advanced its pro rata portion of such Loans to the Borrower and the Borrower will be deemed to have paid, to the extent of such Loans made, the Eligible IDC due on the relevant Interest Payment Date; provided that no such Loans shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender (i) after the end of the Availability Period or (ii) to the extent that after giving effect to such Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans disbursed by such Lender hereunder would exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

2.6 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the outstanding principal amount of each Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity of such Loan (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of (i) the Eurodollar Rate determined in accordance with Section 2.6(d) for such Interest Period, (ii) any Market Disruption Margin (if applicable), and (iii) the Applicable Margin.

(b) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by Law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Financing Document (other than the Required Hedging Agreements) shall bear interest at a rate (the “Default Rate”) which is equal to the sum of (i) the Eurodollar Rate in effect from time to time under this Agreement with respect to such Loans, (ii) any Market Disruption Margin (if applicable), (iii) the Applicable Margin and (iv) two percent (2%) per annum, with such interest to be payable on demand from the Facility Agent, acting on the instructions of any Lender, such Default Rate to apply from the due date of such overdue principal, interest or other amount.

(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest payable in accordance with Section 2.6(b) shall be payable as provided therein.

(d) On each Interest Determination Date, the Facility Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the applicable Interest Period to be applicable to the Loans or to any portion thereof and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.7 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Financing Document will be made without set-off (except as provided in Section 9.16(b)), counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (“Taxes”) with respect to such payments; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) unless such Tax (A) is imposed on the overall net income, profit or gain of a Lender, (B) is attributable to a FATCA Deduction, (C) is described in Section 9.13(a)(D) or (D) would not have been imposed had the Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.7(e) below (such Taxes specified in clauses (A) to (D) above, “Excluded Taxes”), the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. The Borrower will furnish to the Facility Agent within forty-five (45) days after the date of the payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable Law and paid by the Borrower certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower (or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to the Lenders). The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

 

5


(b) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 2.7 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund of its Tax liabilities in respect of an Indemnified Tax or any credit in respect thereof (a “Tax Refund”), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of such Tax Refund and shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender as a consequence of such Tax Refund; provided, however, that (i) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Tax Refund with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, shall be treated as an Indemnified Tax payable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7; (ii) nothing in this Section 2.7 shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including its tax returns); and (iii) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7 at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists.

(c) A Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which result in or would result in the Lender’s being grossed-up or indemnified under this Section 2.7. A Lender need not take any such steps if such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that to do so may be materially prejudicial to the Lender (it being understood that it is not prejudicial to the Lender to bear costs that the Borrower is willing to reimburse).

(d) (i) Each party hereto agrees to provide to the Facility Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of a request, and consents to the collection and processing by the Facility Agent of, any authorizations, waivers, forms, documentation and other information readily available to it, relating to its status or to the status of payments under this Agreement under FATCA (the “FATCA Information”), to the extent necessary for the Facility Agent to comply with FATCA. Each party hereto further consents to the disclosure, transfer and reporting of such FATCA Information to any relevant government or taxing authority or any Affiliate of the Facility Agent, including transfers to jurisdictions which do not have strict data protection or similar laws, to the extent that the Facility Agent reasonably determines that such disclosure, transfer or reporting is necessary or warranted to facilitate compliance with FATCA.

(ii) Each party hereto hereby covenants that following the receipt of a request from the Facility Agent, it shall confirm to the Facility Agent whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party. If a party hereto confirms to the Facility Agent that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, it shall notify the Facility Agent reasonably promptly. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each party hereto may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party hereto shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(iii) Each party hereto shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), and in any case at least three (3) Business Days prior to making a FATCA Deduction, notify the person to whom it is making the payment and, on or prior to the day on which it notifies that person, shall also notify the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the other Financing Parties.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Financing Document shall notify the Facility Agent in writing thereof and deliver to the Borrower or the Facility Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

6


(f) All amounts set out or expressed in a Financing Document to be payable by the Borrower to the Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii), if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Lender to the Borrower under a Financing Document and such Lender is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and the Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party). If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Financing Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Financing Party (the “Recipient”) under a Financing Document, and any Financing Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Financing Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): (i) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT, and the Recipient must (where this clause (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (ii) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. Where a Financing Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify the Lender for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. Any reference in this clause to any party hereto shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Lender shall be construed as a reference to that Lender or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Lender is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(g) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and fees and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from the execution, delivery, filing, recording, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Financing Document and agrees to hold the Secured Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes and fees (excluding, in each case, any such tax imposed as a result of a Lender’s grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new Applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Financing Document except for any such taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested by the Borrower).

2.8 Illegality. (a) If the effect of any applicable Law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive of any Governmental Authority is to make it unlawful or impossible in any applicable jurisdiction for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain a Loan, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), any obligation of that Lender to perform such obligation or make such Loan shall be suspended until, subject to Section 2.8(d), the Lender notifies the Facility Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain a Loan, upon the Lender notifying the Borrower of such illegality, and subject to Section 2.13, the Commitments of such Lender shall be immediately cancelled, and the Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, repay in full the Loan of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 6.3(g), either on the last day of the Interest Period in respect of such Loan, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loan.

(c) The Borrower agrees to take all reasonable steps to obtain, as quickly as possible after receipt of such Lender’s request for prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(b), any Governmental Approvals then required in connection with such prepayment.

(d) Before giving notice to the Borrower and the Facility Agent under Section 2.8(a), the affected Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office with respect to its Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise subject such Lender to any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

2.9 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If, after the Effective Date:

(i) there occurs the introduction of or any change since the date of this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any applicable Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law); and/or

(ii) compliance by any Lender with any Law or regulation and including the introduction of any new Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any monetary, fiscal or other authority shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, assessment or insurance fee or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or subject such Lender to any taxes or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender or any amount payable under the Financing Documents (such as, for example, but not limited to (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for (x) changes in the rate of Tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or Applicable Lending Office is located, (y) changes attributable to any FATCA Deduction) or (z) any Increased Cost compensated for by Section 2.7 (or which would have been compensated for by Section 2.7 but was not so compensated solely because such Increased Cost constituted an Excluded Tax) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements but, in all events, excluding reserves to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate), or impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

 

8


and as a result of any of the foregoing any Lender shall incur any additional or increased costs, reductions in the rate of return from a Loan or on a Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital or reductions in any amounts due and payable under any Financing Document (any of the foregoing, “Increased Costs”), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine), as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such Increased Costs.

A written notice as to the Increased Costs owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender through the Facility Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, directives or any other Laws thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, directives or any other Laws promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case constitute a change in applicable Law under Section 2.9(a)(i) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b) If, after the Effective Date, (w) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (x) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (y) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (z) compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender (a “Controlling Corporation”) with any Capital Adequacy Regulation:

(i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or its Controlling Corporation; and

(ii) does or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or on such Controlling Corporation’s capital as a consequence of the Financing Documents or the Loans thereunder, to a level below that which such Lender or such Controlling Corporation could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s and such Controlling Corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy),

then from time to time, upon written demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Facility Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within thirty (30) days of such written demand, additional amounts specified by such Lender as sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A Lender’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.9(b) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(c) Before giving notice to the Facility Agent under Sections 2.9(a) and (b), the affected Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office with respect to its Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise subject such Lender to any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

 

9


(d) The Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.9 to the extent that the Increased Cost to which such additional amount relates is (i) compensated for under another provision of this Agreement or would have been but for an exception to that provision or (ii) attributable to the relevant Financing Party or any of its Affiliates failing to comply with any law or regulation.

2.10 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from all losses and expenses documented in the manner provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.10 (excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any such losses or expenses arising from liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such Lender to fund the relevant Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which the Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely basis any scheduled payment of principal of any Loan;

(b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow a Loan after the Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing;

(c) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under Section 6.2; or

(d) the prepayment or repayment (including pursuant to Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of a Loan on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date.

Each Lender shall, at any time that it makes a claim under this Section 2.10, provide a written notice to the Borrower as to the amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, which notice shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.11 Inability to Determine Rates; Market Disruption. (a) If, on any Interest Determination Date, in the circumstances described in the second sentence of the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”, none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine the Eurodollar Rate or the Facility Agent otherwise determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon the receipt of such notice, if the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest applicable to such Loans. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to foregoing sentence shall, with the prior consent of all Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto. If no such alternative basis is so agreed or if the Borrower does not require such negotiations, the rate of interest on each Loan shall, until the Facility Agent revokes its notice in writing, be the percentage rate per annum which is equal to the sum of (i) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by each Lender with respect to the relevant Loan as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of the relevant Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to such Lender of funding its participation in such Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select and (ii) the Applicable Margin.

 

10


(b) If the Facility Agent receives, by close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, certificates (which the Facility Agent shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to any third party) from authorized officers of Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders certifying that (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not be adequate to cover the cost (derived from funding sources reasonably selected by such Lenders) to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans for such Interest Period and (y) such Lenders vote in favor of having a Market Disruption Margin apply (a “Market Disruption Margin Event”), then:

(i) the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender that a Market Disruption Margin Event has occurred; and

(ii) upon the receipt of such notice, the Borrower and the Lenders shall enter into good faith negotiations (for a period of not more than five (5) Business Days from the date of such receipt) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest applicable to the Loans.

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be binding on all parties hereto in respect of the relevant Interest Period. If no such alternative basis is so agreed, the rate of interest on each Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be as determined pursuant to Section 2.11(c) below.

(c) The Facility Agent shall thereafter promptly (i) notify the Borrower and the Lenders that a Market Disruption Margin Event has occurred and that no such agreement was reached pursuant to Section 2.11(b); (ii) request that each Lender provide to the Facility Agent (which information the Facility Agent shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to any third party) the cost to such Lender of funding, from whatever source it may reasonably select, an amount substantially equal to such Lender’s Loan proposed to be outstanding during such Interest Period; (iii) determine the Market Disruption Margin for each Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(d) below; (iv) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the result of the determination with respect to the Market Disruption Margin of such Lender; and (v) certify to the Borrower that it determined the Market Disruption Margin for each Lender correctly in accordance with Section 2.11(d) below.

(d) The Facility Agent shall, for purposes of Section 2.11(c) above, determine the Market Disruption Margin for each Lender for any applicable Interest Period as follows:

(i) if such Lender fails to provide its cost of funding in response to the request made in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 2.11(c) within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such request, the Facility Agent shall deem such Lender’s Market Disruption Margin to be zero, and

(ii) if such Lender provides notice to the Facility Agent of its cost of funding within such three (3) Business Day period, the Facility Agent shall calculate the margin (if positive) between (x) such cost of funding as so notified to the Facility Agent and (y) the Eurodollar Rate (the “Market Disruption Margin”); provided that (x) if as the result of such calculation the Market Disruption Margin exceeds 50 basis points (0.50%), the Market Disruption Margin shall be deemed to be 50 basis points (0.50%) and (y) in no event shall the interest applicable to the Loans be less than the rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Eurodollar Rate determined in accordance with Section 2.6(d) and (2) the Applicable Margin.

(e) In the event that a Reference Bank shall for whatever reason cease to be a Reference Bank or a Reference Bank assigns its Loans in accordance with Section 9.13 to one or more banks, the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall consult and use reasonable efforts to agree (with the consent of the Majority Lenders, acting reasonably) on a replacement Reference Bank; provided that, in the event that no such agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the Facility Agent may designate a Lender as such replacement Reference Bank.

 

11


(f) For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the obligation of the Facility Agent to, upon the written request of the Borrower, disclose to the Borrower the identity of any Lender that has delivered a certificate pursuant to Section 2.11(b), nothing in this Section 2.11 will require any Lender or Reference Bank to provide information disclosing its cost of funds to any other Lender, Agent or the Borrower.

2.12 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in Sections 2.7 through 2.11 shall survive any termination of any Transaction Document and the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders; Prepayment. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or is owed Increased Costs or other amounts under Section 2.7 or Section 2.9 and compensation with respect to such event is not otherwise requested by the Majority Lenders, or provides a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.8, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists and such Lender has not changed its Applicable Lending Office with the effect of eliminating such Increased Costs or other amounts or illegality, to (a) prepay the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with Section 6.2(c) or (b) replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) completely or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, either completely or with respect only to any outstanding portion of the undisbursed and uncancelled Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, with another commercial bank or banks or other financial institutions (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent; provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements pursuant to Section 9.13 hereof pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitment and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender, (ii) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement and (iii) any Required Hedging Agreement to which such Replaced Lender (or any Affiliate of such Replaced Lender) is a party shall be replaced by a Required Hedging Agreement to which another Lender (or its Affiliate) shall be a party (or by an adjustment to an existing Required Hedging Agreement to which another Lender (or its Affiliate) is party) and the Borrower shall pay any amounts, costs and expenses owing under such replaced Required Hedging Agreement or otherwise as a result of such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation pursuant to clause (i) of the proviso above and the payment of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the proviso above, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder, and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

2.14 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.7.

(b) Except as contemplated in the Base Case Projections, no material liability for any tax (including, without limitation, stamp duty under the Austrian Stamp Duty Act (Gebührengesetz)) will be incurred by the Borrower as a result of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, no act or omission of the Facility Agent, any Lender or the Technical Advisor or any other consultant engaged by any Lender shall (i) in any way affect the obligations of the Borrower, the Construction Contractors or any other Person under any Transaction Document or any other contract relating to the EPC Contract, (ii) be deemed to be the acceptance of any defective work performed by any Construction Contractor or any other Person under any Construction Contract, or (iii) be deemed to be a waiver of any rights against any of the Construction Contractors or any other Person under any Construction Contract or otherwise.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, no inspection or visit requested under this Section 5.7 shall be considered “reasonable” if it interferes with the Borrower’s or the EPC Contractor’s ability to perform the day to day running of the Project. All inspections and visits contemplated by this Section 5.7 shall be at the expense of the Borrower and consistent with any restrictions in the EPC Contract; provided, however, that, when no Default or Event of Default relating to operation of the FPSO has occurred and is continuing:

5.9 Insurance.

(a) Insurance Requirements. The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect at all times (unless otherwise specified in Appendix C) insurance coverages for the Project meeting the requirements set forth in Appendix C (with the exception of those insurances (MII/MAPI) specified in Part B thereof, which subject to Section 5.9(j) shall be obtained by or on behalf of the Lenders), with reputable insurance companies with a Standard & Poor’s or A.M. Best’s financial strength rating of “A-” or higher, or other companies or Lloyd’s syndicates and a Protection & Indemnity Club that is an IGA member, all to be acceptable to the Facility Agent (acting on the instruction of the Required Lenders), with limits, coverage, endorsements and other provisions sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth in Appendix C and naming (i) the Borrower and its officers and employees as named insureds, (ii) whenever the Collateral Agent requires, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent as additional named assured for its rights and interests, with no operational interest in the FPSO required, and without the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party thereby being liable to pay (but having the right to pay) premiums, calls or other assessments in respect of such insurance and (iii) the Collateral Agent as assignee and loss payee (other than its liability insurance coverage) with such directions for payment as the Collateral Agent may specify acting in accordance with the Accounts Agreement.

(b) Waiver of Subrogation. Without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights under the Accounts Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the Borrower hereby waives any and every claim for recovery from the Secured Parties for any loss or damage covered by any of the insurance policies to be maintained under this Agreement to the extent that such loss or damage is recovered under any such policy. Inasmuch as the foregoing waiver will preclude the assignment to, or the exercise of rights of subrogation by, an insurance company (or other Person) in respect of any such claim to the extent of such recovery, the Borrower shall give written notice of the terms of such waiver to each insurance company which has issued, or which may issue in the future, any such policy of insurance (if such notice is required by the insurance policy) and shall cause such insurance policy to be properly endorsed by the issuer thereof to, or to otherwise contain one or more provisions that, prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage provided thereby by reason of such waiver.

(c) Amendment of Requirements. The Facility Agent (acting on the instruction of the Required Lenders) may at any time amend the requirements (including, without limitation, the amount and scope of insurance coverage) and approved insurance companies described in this Section 5.9 due to (i) new information not known on the Closing Date or (ii) changed circumstances after the Closing Date which in the reasonable judgment of the Facility Agent (acting on the instruction of the Required Lenders), either render such coverage materially inadequate or materially reduce the financial ability of the approved insurance companies to pay claims. The Borrower shall not make, or agree to, any alteration to the terms of any insurance, nor waive any right relating to any insurance effected by it, as required by this Section 5.9 without (x) prior written notice to the Facility Agent and (y) with respect to any such alteration or waiver which is material, the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (acting on the instruction of the Majority Lenders).

(d) Additional Provisions.

(i) Loss Notification. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent of any Event of Loss likely to give rise to a claim in excess of $25,000,000 for any one claim or $50,000,000 in the aggregate, in either case, in any calendar year in respect of any of the policies required by this Section 5.9.

In addition the Borrower may in its reasonable judgment consent to the settlement of any loss, provided that in the event that the amount of the loss exceeds $25,000,000 for any one claim or $50,000,000 in the aggregate or there has occurred a Default or Event of Default which is continuing, the terms of such settlement are approved by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders).

(iii) Miscellaneous Policy Provisions. The marine cargo and property damage (including machinery) insurance policies effected pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall not include any annual or term aggregate limits of liability or clause requiring the payment of an additional premium to reinstate the limits after loss except as regards the insurance applicable to the perils of flood, earth movement, sabotage and terrorism.

(iv) Policy Language. All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be issued in English, with a clause in such policies stating that the English language version will prevail over any other version should any dispute arise regarding policy language.

(vi) Independent Valuation. If at any time a valuation is requested by the relevant insurers, the Borrower shall provide to the Facility Agent an Appraisal (at the Borrower’s cost) from an Independent Appraiser in scope and form satisfactory to the Facility Agent, acting reasonably.

(vii) Prevention of Arrest. The Borrower shall promptly arrange for the execution of any guarantee or indemnity as may be required to (i) prevent the FPSO from being arrested or otherwise detained or (ii) obtain the release of the FPSO from any such arrest or detention due to claims made by any third parties or otherwise.

(e) Evidence of Insurance. On or prior to the first Disbursement Date and promptly after each policy anniversary date, the Borrower shall furnish the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent with (i) certification of all required insurance or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent (in consultation with the Insurance Advisor) and (ii) a schedule of the insurance policies held by or for the benefit of the Borrower and required to be in force by the provisions of this Section 5.9. Such certification shall be executed by each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer where it is not practical for such insurer to execute the certificate itself. Such certification shall identify underwriters, the type of insurance, the insurance limits and the policy term and, unless the Insurance Advisor has certified as to the compliance with the special provisions enumerated for such insurance required by this Section 5.9 in its report provided in accordance with Section 5.9(f) or otherwise, shall specifically list such special provisions.

(h) Failure to Maintain Insurance. In the event the Borrower fails to take out or maintain the full insurance coverage required to be effected by the Borrower under this Section 5.9, the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders), upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice (unless the aforementioned insurance would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to the Borrower of any such failure, may (but shall not be obligated to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced therefor by the Facility Agent (including any broking fees) shall become an additional Obligation of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall forthwith pay such amounts to the Facility Agent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date so advanced until fully paid.

(i) Secured Parties not Responsible for Representations by Borrower. No Secured Party shall be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower to any insurance company or underwriter. Any failure on the part of any Secured Party to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Agreement and/or failure of any Secured Party to point out any non-compliance of such evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in this Agreement.

(j) Mortgagees’ Interest Insurance and Mortgagees’ Additional Perils Insurance. The MII and MAPI applicable to the FPSO shall be effected by the Facility Agent or the Collateral Agent (each acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) at the cost of the Borrower which cost the Borrower shall reimburse to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

Best’s financial strength rating of A- or higher and acceptable to the Required Lenders and the Borrower the best terms and conditions of cover reasonably obtainable on the insurance market for ships of similar type and age as the FPSO. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the MII and MAPI underwriters shall, upon payment of a claim under an MII or MAPI, be subrogated to all the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties (as set out in Part B of Appendix C) up to the amount of such payment, but only to the extent of the rights and remedies that such Secured Parties may have in respect of such claim under the Borrower’s insurance policies and the International Group of P&I Clubs entries related to the FPSO. For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any loss for which a claim is made under an MII or MAPI, the Lenders hereby expressly waive any rights they may otherwise have to recover all or part of such loss or of costs incurred in respect of such claim from the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, in each case to the extent of amounts finally and indefeasibly received by the Lenders under such MII or MAPI.

40


(iii) no Project Document or Necessary Governmental Approval in effect immediately prior to the Event of Loss giving rise to such Loss Proceeds shall have been canceled unless replaced in a manner satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders), or contain any still exercisable right to cancel, due to such Event of Loss;

(iv) no Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising directly from the event as to which such Loss Proceeds have been paid) shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then the Facility Agent (acting at the instructions of the Majority Lenders or, following any default in payment of the final Scheduled Principal Payment (as the same may be extended with the consent of the Lenders) of the Loans, any Lender) may by notice to the Borrower (i) declare the Commitments to be terminated, whereupon all Commitments shall immediately terminate and/or (ii) declare the Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts owing to the Lenders under the Financing Documents to be due and payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(c) Any funds of any Lender or the Collateral Agent (including the proceeds of any Loans) used for any purpose referred to in this Section 7.3, whether or not in excess (without obligating any Lender to fund any Loans in excess of its Commitment) of the relevant Commitments shall (i) be governed hereby, (ii) constitute a part of the Obligations secured by the Security Documents, (iii) bear interest at the Default Rate and (iv) be payable upon demand by such Lender or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Section 8. The Facility Agent

8.1 Appointment and Authorization. (a) Each other Financing Party hereby (i) irrevocably (subject to Section 8.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the Facility Agent as its agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Financing Document to which it is a party and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any such other Financing Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (ii) authorizes the Facility Agent to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which it is or is intended to be a party and each Financing Party agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of the Facility Agent contained in the Financing Documents.

 

62


(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document, the Facility Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, nor shall the Facility Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Financing Document or otherwise exist against the Facility Agent and the Facility Agent shall not be bound to account to any other Financing Party for any sum or profit element of any sum received for its own account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “Facility Agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Facility Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a relationship between independent contracting parties.

8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Facility Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Financing Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Facility Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with care expected of a prudent person.

8.3 Liability of the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent and any other Agent-Related Persons shall not (a) be liable (including for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) for any action taken or omitted to be taken or for any loss or injury resulting from their actions or their performance or lack of performance of their duties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the other Secured Parties or any other Person for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Facility Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value of or title to any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Transaction Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Facility Agent and any other Agent-Related Person shall not be under any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the Properties, books or records of the Borrower, any Sponsor, any other holder of equity interests in the Borrower or any Affiliate of such Person. In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving), even if the Facility Agent has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

63


8.4 Reliance by the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall not be liable for any act (or omission) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, written statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of the Facility Agent (upon consultation with counsel) be contrary to applicable Law or regulation or breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality or the terms of any Financing Document, (b) if such action is not specifically provided for in the Financing Documents to which the Facility Agent is a party, and it shall not have received such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate, (c) if in connection with the taking of any such action that would constitute the making of a payment due under any Project Document pursuant to the terms of any Consent Agreement, it shall not first have received from any or all of the other relevant Secured Parties funds equal to the amount of such payment, or (d) unless, if it so requests, the Facility Agent shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Facility Agent in all cases shall not be liable for any act (or omission) in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the relevant Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless a contrary indication appears in the Financing Documents, the Facility Agent shall act in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders, shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Majority Lenders, and shall not be liable for any act (or omission) if the Facility Agent acts (or refrains from taking any action) in accordance with an instruction of the Majority Lenders. The obligations of the Agents under this Agreement are several and not joint.

8.5 Notice of Default. The Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees of which it is aware and which are required to be paid to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Facility Agent shall have received written notice from any of the Financing Parties or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” If the Facility Agent receives any such notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall give notice thereof to the other Financing Parties. The Facility Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with this Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until the Facility Agent has received any such request, the Facility Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

8.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that the Facility Agent and the other Agent-Related Persons have not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Facility Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the Project or of the affairs of the Borrower or the Sponsors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Facility Agent or the other Agent-Related Persons to any such Lender. Each Lender represents to the Facility Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent or the other Agent-Related Persons and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Sponsors, their Affiliates, the Project, the value of and title to any Collateral, and all applicable bank regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Financing Document and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent or the other Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of the Sponsors and the Project. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required pursuant to any Financing Document to be furnished to the Lenders by the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Project or of the Borrower or the Sponsors which may come into the possession of the Facility Agent or any of the other Agent-Related Persons.

 

64


8.7 Indemnification of the Facility Agent. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Facility Agent and the other Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata in accordance with the Combined Exposure held by such Lender, from and against any and all claims, expenses, obligations, duly documented costs, losses or liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person, property or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit, demanded, asserted, or claimed against the Facility Agent directly or indirectly related to its role as Facility Agent, including without limitation all reasonable costs associated with claims for damages to Persons or property, and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and court costs; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Facility Agent or the other Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such costs, losses or liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Facility Agent upon demand for its ratable share as provided above of any expenses reimbursable to the Facility Agent by the Borrower under Section 9.1, to the extent that the Facility Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. No provision of this Agreement, nor any document related hereto, shall require the Facility Agent to take any action that it reasonably believes to be contrary to applicable law or to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) The undertakings of the Lenders in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent.

8.8 Facility Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Facility Agent and its Affiliates may become a Lender, or acquire any interest in, any Commitment with the same rights that it or they would have if the Facility Agent were not appointed hereunder, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Borrower and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, the Lenders or in connection with any other obligations of the Borrower as freely as if the Facility Agent were not appointed hereunder.

 

65


8.9 Successor Agents. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided below, (i) the Facility Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ notice thereof to the other Financing Parties and the Borrower, and (ii) the Facility Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders following notice thereof to the other Financing Parties and, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consultation with the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall, following consultation with the Borrower, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case no such consultation shall be required, have the right to appoint a successor to the Facility Agent and shall use all reasonable efforts to appoint a Lender as such successor. If no successor Facility Agent shall have been appointed by such Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Facility Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the giving of any notice of removal of the Facility Agent, then such resigning or removed Facility Agent may, following consultation with the Borrower unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case no such consultation shall be required, appoint its successor. The resignation or removal of the Facility Agent and the appointment of any successor thereto shall become effective only when the successor (x) notifies all other parties hereto that it accepts its appointment and (y) delivers a Secured Party Accession Agreement under which it agrees, inter alia, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set out in the preceding sentence, such successor Facility Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such resigning or removed Facility Agent and such resigning or removed Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents. Upon the appointment of the successor Facility Agent, such successor shall promptly notify the Lenders as to the fees that such successor Facility Agent will charge for its services as such.

(b) After the Facility Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions hereto of this Section 8 and of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Facility Agent. The parties hereto hereby agree that transfer of any rights of the Facility Agent hereunder does not imply novation of any Loan. Any Person: (i) into which the Facility Agent is a party may be merged or consolidated or (ii) that may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Facility Agent shall (if the Facility Agent is not the surviving entity) be the successor of the Facility Agent without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

8.10 Registry. The Borrower hereby designates the Facility Agent, and the Facility Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 8.10, to maintain a register at one of its offices in New York (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Facility Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans, and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment and Loans shall be recorded by the Facility Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Facility Agent of a properly executed and delivered Transfer Certificate pursuant to Section 9.13. The Facility Agent may treat the Lender in whose name a Commitment is registered as the Lender of such Commitment for all purposes whether amounts with respect to such Commitment be owing or in default and the Facility Agent shall not be affected by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable Law.

8.11 Force Majeure. The Facility Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Facility Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the United States Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank or any other federal reserve or central bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

8.12 Deductions from Amounts Payable by the Facility Agent. If any party hereto owes an amount to a Facility Agent under the Financing Documents, the Facility Agent may, after giving notice to such party, deduct an amount not exceeding the amount so owed from any payment to that party which the Facility Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Financing Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed to the Facility Agent. For the purpose of the Financing Documents, such party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

 

66

The Borrower shall, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated and whether or not any of the following are incurred before or after the Closing Date, pay, within ten (10) Business Days after demand and receipt of documentation in respect thereof (to the extent applicable), (a) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Agents in connection with the preparation, execution, filing, recording and administration of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and any other documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, all reasonable engineers’, insurance and other consultants’ fees (including any such fees incurred in connection with the preparation of any report referred to herein and any inspections pursuant hereto) and all Attorney Costs (subject to the applicable terms of any written agreements between the Borrower and any such Person relating to such costs and expenses and to any specific limitation in this Agreement) provided that the incurring of any out-of-pocket expenses in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (b) all costs and expenses incurred by any Secured Party (including Attorney Costs) in connection with (i) any and all amounts which any Secured Party has paid relative to curing any Default or Event of Default resulting from the acts or omissions of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the exercise, enforcement or attempted enforcement of, or the investigation or preservation of any rights or remedies under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including without limitation any retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral or preserving the Collateral and the Security Interests or (iii) any amendment, waiver or consent requested by the Borrower with respect to any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The parties acknowledge and agree that the caption with respect to Austrian stamp duty on the first page of this Agreement is for information purposes only and does not limit any rights or remedies of the Secured Parties under the Financing Documents, including but not limited to this Section 9.1, Section 2.7(g) or applicable Law.

9.2 Indemnity. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated:

(a) The Borrower shall pay, indemnify, and hold each Secured Party and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, advisers and attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates and the respective successors and assigns of Secured Parties and their Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including Attorney Costs) which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans or the termination, resignation or replacement of any Secured Party) be incurred by them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the Loans, or the use of the proceeds thereof, including any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding or appellate proceeding) related thereto, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person provided further that, without limitation to the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.2, each Secured Party shall provide written notice to the Borrower promptly upon the incurrence of any Indemnified Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnity above shall cover any cost, loss or liability incurred by each Indemnified Person relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby in any jurisdiction arising or asserted under or in connection with any Law relating to safety at sea, the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, any Environmental Law, any Sanctions Laws or any Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Borrower shall also, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Indemnified Person against any cost, loss or liability incurred by it as a result of any claim, action, civil penalty or fine against, any settlement, and any other kind of loss or liability, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Indemnified Person as a result of conduct of the Borrower or any of its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, that violates any Sanctions Laws or any Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

 

67


(b) Environmental Indemnity. (i) Without in any way limiting the generality of the other provisions contained in this Section 9.2, the Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify, save and hold harmless each Indemnified Person, whether as beneficiary of any of the Security Documents, as a mortgagee in possession, or as successor-in-interest to the Borrower by foreclosure deed or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fees, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs and reasonable and duly documented consultants’ fees and disbursements) and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be incurred by, imposed on, asserted or awarded against any such Indemnified Person directly or indirectly based on, or arising out of or resulting from, (A) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Facilities whether or not the same originates or emanates from the Facilities or from properties at which any Hazardous Materials generated, stored or handled by the Borrower were Released or disposed of, or (B) any Environmental and Social Claim relating to the Project (the “Indemnified Matters”), whether any of the Indemnified Matters arise before or after foreclosure of any of the Security Interests or other taking of title to all or any portion of the Collateral by any Secured Party, including, without limitation, (x) the costs of removal of any and all Hazardous Materials from all or any portion of the Facilities, (y) additional costs required to take reasonable precautions to protect against the Release of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting the Facilities into the air, any body of water, any other public domain or any surrounding areas, and (z) costs incurred to comply, in connection with all or any portion of the Facilities, with all applicable Environmental and Labour Laws with respect to Hazardous Materials, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Matters arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person and provided further that, without limitation to the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.2, each Secured Party shall provide written notice to the Borrower promptly after the occurrence of any Indemnified Matters.

(ii) In no event shall any site visit, observation, or testing by any Indemnified Person (or any representative of any such Person) be deemed to be a representation or warranty that Hazardous Materials are or are not present with respect to the Facilities or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental and Labour Law. Neither the Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing by any Indemnified Person. No Indemnified Person owes any duty of care to protect the Borrower or any other Person against, or to inform the Borrower or any other Person of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting the Project. No Indemnified Person shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower or any other Person any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation, or testing by any Indemnified Person.

 

68


(c) Survival; Defense. The obligations in this Section 9.2 shall survive any termination of any Transaction Document and the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and the resignation and removal of the Facility Agent. At the election of any Indemnified Person, the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section 9.2 shall include the obligation to defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person (acting reasonably), at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower provided that such costs have been reasonably incurred and duly documented. All amounts owing under this Section 9.2 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after demand and receipt of documentation in respect thereof.

(d) Contribution. To the extent that any undertaking in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9.2 may be unenforceable because it violates any Law or public policy, the Borrower will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of such undertaking.

(e) Settlement. So long as the Borrower is in compliance with its obligations under this Section 9.2, the Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person under this Section 9.2 for any settlement made by such Indemnified Person without the Borrower’s consent.

9.3 Notices; Disclosure. (a) All notices, requests and demands to or upon the parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including electronic mail (unless a party notifies the other parties hereto that it will not accept electronic mail as notice hereunder)) and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (i) in the case of delivery by hand or express courier, upon delivery to or refusal to accept delivery by the addressee, (ii) in the case of delivery by mail, three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, or (iii) in the case of electronic mail, when actually received and in readable form with receipt electronically confirmed, addressed to the relevant party at its address specified for notices on Annex III or to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto; provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon any Financing Party for a Loan or any payment or prepayment thereof shall not be effective until received by such Financing Party.

(b) All notices, requests and other communications hereunder and under the other Financing Documents shall be in the English language.

(c) The Borrower hereby consents to each Lender, its officers and agents disclosing information relating to the Borrower in connection with the Project, including but not limited to details of this Agreement and the Collateral, (i) to any Lender Member (as defined below) and its representatives in any jurisdiction (together with the Lender, the “Permitted Parties”) provided that each Lender requires each other Permitted Party to be bound by a duty of confidentiality equivalent to the duty of confidentiality owed by each Lender to the Borrower and the Sponsors; (ii) to professional advisers, insurers or insurance brokers and service providers of the Permitted Parties who are under a duty of confidentiality to the Permitted Parties; (iii) to any actual or potential assignee, novatee, transferee, participant or sub-participant in relation to any of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (or any agent or adviser of any of the foregoing) for the purposes of evaluating a potential assignment or participation under this Agreement, provided that each Lender requires such potential assignee, novatee, transferee, participant or sub-participant (or any agent or adviser of any of the foregoing) to be bound by a duty of confidentiality equivalent to the duty of confidentiality owed by each Lender to the Borrower and the Sponsors; (iv) to any rating agency to enable it to carry out its normal rating activities in relation to the Sponsors or any Affiliate thereof, provided that such rating agency is bound by a duty of confidentiality; (v) to any direct or indirect provider of credit protection to any Permitted Party for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining any such credit protection, provided that such provider is bound by a duty of confidentiality; (vi) as required by any law or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over any of the Permitted Parties; and (vii) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by such Lender in violation of this Section 9.3(c)).

9.4 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. The Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender.

9.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any of the Secured Parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and any Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Party to take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. All remedies, either under this Agreement or any other Financing Document or pursuant to any applicable Law or otherwise afforded to any Secured Party shall be cumulative and not alternative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

9.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The agreement of each Lender to make extensions of credit to the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents is solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including any other Project Participant, or any contractor, sub-contractor, supplier, worker, carrier, warehouseman, materialman or vendor furnishing supplies, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Borrower or the Project or receiving services from the Project) shall have any rights hereunder against any Secured Party with respect to the Loans, the proceeds thereof or otherwise. Unless expressly provided to the contrary in a Financing Document a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any term of any Financing Document to the contrary, the consent of any person who is not a party to this Agreement is not required to rescind or vary this Agreement at any time.

9.7 Reinstatement. To the extent that any Secured Party receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or to its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then to the extent that any Secured Party is required to repay any such amount received, the obligation to which such payment initially related shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the Obligations as of the date such initial payment occurred.

9.8 No Immunity. To the extent that the Borrower may be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or Properties any immunity from suit, the jurisdiction of any court, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, set-off, execution of a judgment or any other legal process, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to the Borrower such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the Law of the applicable jurisdiction.

9.9 Judgment Currency. This is an international transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in New York City is of the essence, and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Financing Documents to make payment to (or for the account of) each Secured Party in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by such Secured Party in New York City of the full amount of Dollars payable to such Secured Party under the Financing Documents to which such Secured Party is a party. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency (for the purposes of this Section 9.9, hereinafter the “judgment currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such Secured Party could purchase such Dollars at the exchange rate published at its principal office at 10:00 a.m. on that day in New York with the judgment currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to such Secured Party hereunder (in this Section 9.9 called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following the receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the judgment currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer Dollars to New York City with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, for the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Dollars so purchased and transferred with the judgment currency received.

9.10 Hedge Guarantors. If a Person providing, or which is intended to provide, a guaranty of the performance or obligations of the Borrower under any Required Hedging Agreement, including by providing collateral as security therefor (each such person, a “Hedge Guarantor”), is not an “eligible contract participant” within the meaning of Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act of the United States and the applicable rules issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission of the United States and/or the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (collectively, and as now or hereafter in effect, the “ECP Rules”), at the time such guaranty was entered into, or intended to be entered into, and at such other times as are relevant for the ECP Rules, and to the extent that the providing of such guaranty by such Hedge Guarantor would violate the ECP Rules, the parties agree that, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to the contrary, (a) any such guaranty shall not be effective as to the obligations of the Borrower under any Required Hedging Agreement and such Person shall not be, or be deemed to be, a guarantor of the Borrower’s performance or obligations under such Required Hedging Agreement or in connection with any transaction thereunder, and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall occur because of any such failure to make such guaranty or provide any security as a result of the foregoing.

9.11 Counterparts; Providing Copies to Austrian Authorities and Courts. (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) In the event that a party hereto is requested to provide any Austrian government authority or the courts of Austria with an uncertified copy of a Financing Document, upon request by such party the Facility Agent shall provide such uncertified copy and the other parties hereto shall not contest the conformity of such document with the original version.

 

71


9.12 Amendment or Waiver; Voting. (a) No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived, except by a written instrument signed by the Majority Lenders (or the Facility Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders with such Majority Lenders’ written consent) and the Borrower (but only if the Borrower is a party thereto), and, to the extent that its rights or obligations may be affected thereby, the Agent or Agents party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), without the prior written consent of such Lender, (ii) postpone or delay the Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Financing Document for any payment of principal, interest or Fees due to any Financing Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document, without the prior written consent of such Financing Party, (iii) reduce any fee or premium payable to any Financing Party under any Financing Document or reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified in any Financing Document on any Loan of any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Financing Party or Lender, as the case may be, (iv) release, amend or modify all or substantially all of the Collateral except as shall be otherwise provided in any Security Document or other Financing Document or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any Sponsor of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (v) amend, modify or waive any provision requiring pro rata payments to each Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.12 or Sections 2.1(d), 5.40, 6.8, 9.1 or 9.2, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vii) reduce the percentage specified in or otherwise amend the definition of Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender or otherwise reduce the number of Lenders required to approve any amendment, supplement, modification, consent or instruction, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (viii) change the currency in which any amount is payable without prior written consent of each Lender or (ix) extend the Availability Period without the prior written consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification made or entered into in accordance with Section 9.12(a) shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Secured Parties.

(c) For so long as a Defaulting Lender has any Unutilized Commitments, in ascertaining the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders or whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Combined Exposure has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Financing Documents, the Combined Exposure of that Defaulting Lender will be reduced by the amount of its Unutilized Commitments. For the purposes of this paragraph (c), the Facility Agent may assume that the following Lenders are Defaulting Lenders (unless in it has received notice to the contrary from the Lender concerned (together with any supporting evidence reasonably requested by the Facility Agent) or the Facility Agent is otherwise aware that the Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender): (i) any Lender which has notified the Facility Agent that it has become a Defaulting Lender and (ii) any Lender in relation to which the Facility Agent is aware that any of the events or circumstances referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender” has occurred.

 

72


(d) For so long as a Sponsor Affiliate (A) beneficially holds any Combined Exposure or (B) has entered into a participation agreement relating to any Combined Exposure or other agreement or arrangement having a substantially similar economic effect and such agreement or arrangement has not been terminated: (i) in ascertaining the Majority Lenders, Required Lenders or whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Combined Exposure has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Financing Documents such Combined Exposure shall be deemed to be zero; and (ii) for the purposes of any consent, waiver, amendment or other vote requiring all Lenders’ consent, such Sponsor Affiliate or the person with whom it has entered into such participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be deemed not to be a Lender (unless in the case of a person not being a Sponsor Affiliate it is a Lender by virtue otherwise than by beneficially holding the relevant Combined Exposure).

9.13 Assignments, Participations, Etc. (a) Each Lender (an “Existing Lender”) may, at any time, (i) without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, assign any of its rights or transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations to all or any part of any Loan and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Financing Documents to an Affiliate of the Existing Lender or to another Lender (other than to a Defaulting Lender) and (ii) subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (except when a Default or Event of Default is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall be deemed given five (5) Business Days following written request for such consent from the Existing Lender or the New Lender, assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to another bank or financial institution which is an Eligible Lender (each, a “New Lender”); provided that (A) each such assignment or transfer by a Lender of its Loans or its Commitment shall be made in such a manner so that the same portion of such Lender’s (and of such Lender’s Affiliate’s) Loans, Commitment and any rights and obligations it may have under any Required Hedging Agreement to which such Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) is a party, is assigned or transferred to the New Lender (or, in the case of such Required Hedging Agreement, the New Lender or an Affiliate of such New Lender); (B) in the case of an assignment or transfer of any part of a Loan to any New Lender, such assignment or transfer shall not be for an amount less than $10,000,000; (C) the Borrower and the Agents may continue to deal solely and directly with the Existing Lender in connection with the interest so assigned or transferred until (1) written notice of such assignment or transfer, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the New Lender, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Facility Agent by such Existing Lender and the New Lender, (2) the Existing Lender or the New Lender has paid to the Facility Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500, and (3) the Existing Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent a Transfer Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Transfer Certificate”) with respect to such assignment or transfer; and (D) if as a result of circumstances existing at the date of such assignment or transfer, the Borrower would be required to make a payment to a New Lender in accordance with Section 2.9 or would be required to gross up any payments to a New Lender for or on account of any deduction or withholding for any taxes in accordance with Section 2.7, then such New Lender would only be entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been if the assignment or transfer had not occurred; provided that this clause (D) shall not apply if the assignment to the New Lender is (1) made while a Default or Event of Default is continuing or (2) required by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13.

(b) An assignment or transfer will only be effective on: (i) receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the Borrower, the other Financing Parties and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an original Lender and (ii) the performance by the Facility Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

 

73


(c) On the Transfer Date (as defined in the Transfer Certificate): (i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents each of the Borrower and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Financing Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Financing Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”); provided that any Lender that assigns or transfers all of its Commitment and Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 9.13(a) shall continue to have the benefit of indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including Sections 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 9.1 and 9.2), which shall survive as to such transferring Lender; (ii) each of the Borrower, the Sponsors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Borrower, the Sponsors and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower, the Sponsors and the Existing Lender; (iii) the Agents, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) (i) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for: (A) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Transaction Documents or any other documents; (B) the financial condition of the Borrower, the Shareholders, the General Partner, the Operator or the Sponsors; (C) the performance and observance by the Borrower, the Shareholders, the General Partner, the Operator, the Sponsors or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents of their obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other documents or (D) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Transaction Document or any other document, and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(ii) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other Financing Parties and the Secured Parties that it: (A) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrower, the Shareholders, the General Partner, the Operator or the Sponsors and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Financing Party in connection with any Transaction Document and (B) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Borrower, the Shareholders, the General Partner, the Operator or the Sponsors and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Financing Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(iii) Nothing in any Financing Document obliges an Existing Lender to (A) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Section 9.13 or (B) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower, the Shareholders, the General Partner, the Operator or the Sponsors of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

 

74


(e) Any Existing Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans; provided, however, that (i) the Existing Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Existing Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Existing Lender in connection with the Existing Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents (the Participant’s rights against the Existing Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by the Existing Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign or pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it as collateral security to any person, including, without limitation, any United States Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank (if such Lender is incorporated in the jurisdiction which is a member of the European Union) or any other federal reserve or central bank in the jurisdiction of such Lender, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned or pledged Loans made by the Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned or pledged Loans to the extent of such payment. No such assignment or pledge shall release the assigning or pledging Lender from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee or pledgee for such Lender as a party hereto.

9.14 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein, including, without limitation, Section 9.2, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any termination of any Transaction Document and the making and repayment of the Loans. In addition, each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any extension of credit, any Default or Event of Default which may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such extension of credit was made.

9.15 Parallel Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing by the Borrower to any of the Secured Parties under any Financing Document as and when, and in the currency in which, those amounts are due (the “Parallel Debt”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the aggregate amount owed by the Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document (including in connection with the Parallel Debt or otherwise) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Obligations. Following this, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Financing Documents, each party agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be the joint and several creditor (Gesamtgläubiger) (together with each Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent)) of each and every obligation of the Borrower towards each of the Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent) under any of the Financing Documents, and that accordingly the Collateral Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance by the Borrower of those obligations.

 

75


(b) The Borrower and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of the Borrower under paragraph (a) above are several and are separate and independent from the Obligations, and that the Collateral shall also serve, and shall at all times be deemed to be granted according to the Security Documents, as collateral security for the Parallel Debt; provided that:

(i) Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that its Obligations have been irrevocably paid or (in the case of any guaranties hereunder) discharged; and

(ii) the Obligations of the Borrower shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged; and

(iii) the Parallel Debt of the Borrower shall not exceed its Obligations.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall hold the claims against the Borrower under the Parallel Debt structure under this Section 9.15 as trustee for the Secured Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall distribute any amounts received under the Parallel Debt claims among the Secured Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) All monies received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.15 and all amounts received by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Collateral granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with the Accounts Agreement.

9.16 Right of Set-Off. (a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Financing Parties provided by Law, each Financing Party shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower or any of the other Financing Parties (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and the other Financing Parties), during the existence of an Event of Default or upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Financing Party or any branch, agency or subsidiary thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each of the Financing Parties agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the other Financing Parties after any such set-off and application made by such Financing Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application; provided further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Facility Agent for further application first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Facility Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Facility Agent, and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Facility Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Facility Agent and the Borrower a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any payment default by a Required Hedge Provider under any Required Hedging Agreement, the Borrower is hereby authorized, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply amounts due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement to such Required Hedge Provider in its capacity as Lender (or to a Lender which is an Affiliate, the Nominated Affiliate or an Affiliate of the Nominated Affiliate (as such term is defined in the ISDA Master Agreement and Schedule to the relevant Required Hedging Agreement) of such Required Hedge Provider) to such defaulted payment amount.

 

76


9.17 Severability. Any provision hereof which is or becomes illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and without affecting the validity or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Facility Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

9.18 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office of such Lender; provided, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Sections 2.7, 2.9 or 2.10 resulting from any such transfer to the extent such costs would not otherwise be applicable to such Lender in the absence of such transfer.

9.19 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

(b) The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement ) (a “Dispute”).

(c) The parties hereto agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party hereto will argue to the contrary.

(d) This Section 9.19 is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only. As a result, no Secured Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Secured Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(e) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Borrower: (i) irrevocably appoints NCR National Corporate Research (UK) Limited with offices currently located at 7 Welbeck Street, London W1G 9YE, England as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Financing Document and (ii) agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the Borrower of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrower must immediately (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Facility Agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(f) To the extent that a Secured Party elects to commence proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of Brazil in connection with this Agreement, for the purposes of Section 585, §2nd of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure, the Borrower recognizes that this Agreement was legally and validly executed and delivered pursuant to its governing law and that certain obligations set forth herein are to be performed in or from Brazil.

9.20 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents represent the final and complete agreement of the parties hereto, and all prior negotiations, representations, understandings, writings and statements of any nature are hereby superseded in their entirety by the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

9.21 Patriot Act. Each of the Financing Parties subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) as the same may be amended from time to time) (the “Act”), hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Financing Parties to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by any Financing Party to maintain compliance with the Act.

SCHEDULE ‘A’

SECONDMENT FEES

 

1.

In consideration of TSS seconding the Secondees to OOGTK, OOGTK shall make monthly payments to TSS, in arrears, during the term of this Agreement, such payments being comprised of an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) all salary and employment related costs, and (ii) all costs reasonably incurred by TSS and previously approved by OOGTK relating to obtaining personnel under secondment arrangements (collectively, the “Costs and Expenses”) as TSS may reasonably have incurred for the month in question to enable it to have the Secondees to second to OOGTK.

For the avoidance of doubt:

(i) costs which relate directly to the normal activities of TSS, including the costs of any TSS personnel who are not seconded to OOGTK, are not to be deemed a component of Costs and Expenses and will not be reimbursed to TSS by OOGTK under the terms of this agreement;

(ii) the last invoice issued under this Agreement shall include any employment related benefits that have accrued during the term of this Agreement (i.e. holidays, legal additional salaries – thirteenth month salary, etc.); and

(iii) the total monthly remuneration shall not include any employment related benefits that have accrued before the commencement of this Agreement.

 

2.

At its option, TSS shall issue an invoice, or invoices, each month or each quarter to OOGTK in respect of the Reimbursement of Secondment Costs for the month or, as the case may be, the months in the quarter preceding such invoice and OOGTK shall pay the full amount of each such invoice to TSS within thirty (30) days of the date of each such invoice.

Amounts which have been incurred by TSS in US Dollars, to obtain personnel under secondment arrangements, will also be invoiced to OOGTK in US Dollars. TSS may at its option instruct OOGTK to pay such amounts directly to the company which has provided such personnel. Amounts which have been incurred by TSS in Singapore Dollars will be invoiced to OOGTK in US Dollars equivalent of the amount of Singapore Dollars using an exchange rate which ensures that TSS dos not incur any foreign exchange gain or loss on settlement of the invoice.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to establish the preparations for operation plan (PFO), objectives and requirements for the Petrobras FPSO PIONEIRO DE LIBRA Field Development.

The FPSO PIONEIRO DE LIBRA Area development consists of a major oil discovery that has been made in the Santos basin: LIBRA field. The field is located approximately 180 km off Rio de Janeiro’s coast in 2400 m water depth. Petrobras, PB operates the block with a 40% interest (Shell 20%, Total 20%, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) 10% and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) 10%).

“Operations” covers the areas of oil and gas production, maintenance, inspection, “brown fields” modifications, offloading, supply and logistics applicable to the field assets both above and below the water line, along with the associated onshore technical, financial and management coordination of these functions in an integrated fashion.

Preparations for Operations “PFO” covers all disciplines necessary to safeguard a robust takeover of the FPSO from Project ensuring that all infra-structure, personnel and other necessary resources are available to guarantee the safe and cost effective Sail away, Installation, start-up and future operations. PFO shall also ensure other intangible deliverables items as: documents and information stored on servers, agreements with suppliers of goods and services, agreements with employees, completed training programs for employees, Take-Over Certificates etc.

The FPSO PIONEIRO DE LIBRA FPSO shall be moored offshore Brazil, at a location with water depth up to 2400 meters. Fatigue life and hull substantial corrosion criteria used during the design shall comply with the Classification Society, CS requirements to allow continuous offshore operation during its operational lifetime with no dry-docking in a shipyard. In addition, the FPSO shall be fitted with facilities that enable any maintenance required during the operational lifetime as well as the surveys required by the CS, Port Administration or Flag Statutory requirements without affecting the production/processing capacity of the Unit.

The FPSO will receive the production from up to 2 subsea oil wells and and 1 gas injector and must have production plant facilities to process fluids, stabilize them and separate produced water and natural gas.

Produced gas shall be compressed, dehydrated, and used as a fuel gas and for lifting oil production. Surplus gas will be exported through a gas pipeline to Client’s gas pipeline system or reinjected into dedicated wells.

According to Client’s requirements, the gas on pipeline system could be reinjected to dedicated reservoir. Processed liquids will be metered, stored in the vessel cargo storage tanks and offloaded to shuttle tankers.

This document will be updated given changes in development, operations and company circumstances and administered by the OOGTK Operations Advisor.

ASSIGNMENTS AND STRATEGIES

 

5.1

Governing Documents

The Operations Advisor will during his work adhere to following governing documents:

 

   

The relevant parts of the Contract with the Client

 

   

OOGTK’s Management System Manual (MSM)

 

   

All related regulatory documentation

 

5.2

A—Operations Support to Project

An effective and optimized team composed of operational personnel with broad and relevant experience from similar operations will be mobilized to give input to the Project Team during the engineering and construction period. The details will be defined within the “Operations Recruitment & Manning Plan” document.

The above mentioned team will support the evaluation and review from critical documents such as P&IDs, Accommodation lay-out, General Arrangements and etc.

It is also planned the participation of Operations Personnel within the HAZID and HAZOP since that it is critical for the safe and smooth start-up of operations.

In a developed stage of the project there will be mobilization of operations personnel to assist the Project during Mechanical Completion and Commissioning. This is critical not only to support the project but also to build up the familiarization, competence and skills needed during Sailing, Installation, Start-Up and Operation. This will have to be done in the most cost effective way without jeopardizing the main focus to have a smooth start-up.

For this scope the mobilized team is planned to stay continuously at Singapore Yard office.

Detailed scope for each position should be prepared containing the scope, deliverables and deadlines expected.

 

5.3

B—Develop Operations Organization

Offshore Organization:

During the project phase a part of the offshore management team will be already mobilized to support the project with operational input. This team will be part of the permanent operational team. It is important to have part of the offshore management team composed of existing operational teams from internal recruiting in order to maintain and spread the OOGTK’s way of work, philosophies and operational and QHSE culture.

The mobilization from the rest of the operations team will be detailed within the “Operations Recruitment & Manning Plan” document that will follow the project schedule and milestones so that PFO provides the adequate team for the project needs within each phase.

The offshore organization chart estimated during the BID phase should be revisited for evaluation and updates, if any.

There should be a close cooperation with the units already operating in Brazil and the project so that a training matrix is developed for both PFO and Operations phase.

Onshore Organization:

An onshore operations team should be developed / recruited. To maintain the knowledge and culture acquired from the units in operation is highly recommended to have part of the team composed from existing operations teams within Brazil. This have to be planned in advance so replacements can be recruited and training and the units in operation are not jeopardized. Optimizations with existing onshore structure should also be considered.

The onshore organization chart estimated during the BID phase should be revisited for evaluation and updates, if any.

Some members from the Onshore Operations organization may be temporarily mobilized to Singapore in case of need and for familiarization however the team will be located in Brazil.

The above described scopes should be carried in close cooperation with HR Departments.

 

5.4

C—Operation Management Systems

Management System:

A proper and robust Management System needs to be defined and implemented before the vessel sail away as it have to be ready for any possible ANP SGSO to happen upon vessel arrival in Brazil.

Due to the complexity and “in house” knowledge required for the above mentioned scope it is recommended that an OIM undertake this scope reporting to the Operations Advisor and engaging the required personnel with competence and skills to be responsible for each of the different documents and procedures to be covered that will involve also onshore team.

The above will also ensure that all required DFO is in place and implemented in due time needed prior to sail away.

It is also required that this scope is performed in close cooperation with the onshore QHSE Coordinator to ensure the necessary compliance with local regulations.

The mobilization for the responsible to coordinate this scope should be evaluated in accordance with the project schedule.

This position is planned to be permanently in Singapore coordinating with the different team members in other locations (mainly the onshore team in Brazil) that will be contributing for the development of different documents.

Other Systems and IT infra-structure:

QHSE—Synergi will be the software used with all necessary modules (HSE Incidents, Quality Incidents, Audits/Inspections, Ideas, Behaviour Audits, Meetings, Non-Conformance, Emergency Preparedness, Positive events, Exposure values, Targets, Ideas/safecards)

Document Control – A proper and robust Doc. Control Software should be defined during PFO Execution and this may allow all documentation from PIMS to be automatically uploaded.

Maintenance System – It is required evaluation of MAXIMO system to be the one for Maintenance Management, Storage and Material Requisition controls as it is fully integrated with ORACLE. An evaluation will be performed to confirm, or not, this possibility. Otherwise it will be based on STAR.

This scope will be led by the Chief Engineer mobilized at Singapore’s Yard office as it will be required close cooperation with project team and access to all equipment vendors documentation and discussions.

Others such as Permit To Work Risk Assessment (WISER), Process Monitoring (PI) and etc… will be based on existing ones used in other units operating.

To have the most optimized and cost effective IT infra-structure the strategy will be to negotiate and implement and integrate the LIBRA IT infra-structure and support with the existing shared IT departments in OOG’s Rio office. This will be executed in early stages of the project so that the shared team can give inputs and support already during project phase for the PFO scope.

 

5.5

D—Operations Support Agreements

The strategy is, as far as practicable, to use vendors already contracted for existing unit for Service Agreements, but this also depends upon the vendor’s chosen by the project.

The vendor list from the project will be review and be used as input for the “PFO and Operation Agreements list” that will set not only the list but the priority and deadlines for each agreement to be closed.

This scope will be dealt with directly by Operations Advisor supported by the supply chain coordinator to be recruited during PFO execution. Therefore it is not forecasted to demand any dedicated mobilization to Singapore.

 

5.6

E—Onshore Facilities

Client’s expectations to localization of operations contract management will be clarified however Santos is already defined as the location for personnel and material logistics

An “Onshore Facilities Requirements” document will describe all the necessary minimum physical infra-structure required for both the office and warehouse. The first action for this scope will be to visit and get quotations from existing properties where it will be preferred the ones that contain the office and warehouse within the same location evaluating also such location for daily commuting from the operations team.

Due to the licenses required for the office and specially warehouse (e.g. REPETRO) the identification process should be started within minimum 1 year advance from the vessel arrival in order to guarantee that all are in place as well as possible refurbishment of the chosen property and etc.

This scope will be handled by Operations Advisor with support from local team in Brazil and no mobilization is planned.

There may happen that part of the technical support team, contract management and other back office departments will be based in OOGTK’s Rio office and this will have to be evaluated and verified during PFO execution.

 

5.7

F—Sailing, Installation and Start-up

The PFO is responsible to plan and execute all the voyage plan to Brazil (including a possible stop in Cape Town) as well as prepare the “Hook up Procedure”, “Pull-in Procedure” and “1st oil start-up Procedure”.

The resources to plan and prepare such procedures will be part of the team already mobilized in Singapore as per “Operations Recruitment & Manning Plan” and will be from the offshore management team.

A Start-up Coordinator will be nominated to be dedicated solely on the execution of 1st oil start-up Procedure” and ensure that all material and human resources needed for such plan are arranging and available in due time. Such Coordinator will be nominated during PFO execution and no specific Mobilization is planned, i.e. will be from the project or PFO team.

 

5.8

G—Spare Parts Consumables Tools and Movables

The PFO will agree with project on how to support the necessary procurement for all spares, consumables, tools and movables needed. By the end of the project this will be a highy load of work that could easely justify a dedicated procurement resource localy in Singapore (this support may be a local and does not necessarly means a mobilization).

All spares and consumables procurement will follow the premisses set forth in the document “Spare Part Philosophy” covering all Critical Spares, Capital Spares, Insurance Spares, Commissioning +2 Year Spares, Consumable spares and Consumables. This will also be evaluated on a case to case basis by the PFO team before Purchase Orders are issued. The same strategy will be implemented for tools listing and procurement where the inputs will come from existing units operating and experience from the offshore management team.

Within the “Spare Part List” it will be indicated and prioritized all Long Lead Items.

All movables (including containers, skips bottle racks and baskets to be used during operations) will be procured locally during project phase due to the high cost of such items in Brazil comparing with Singapore. The quantities and types will take into account the experience from existing units operating in Brazil as well as the far distance in which this operation will take place that can impose longer lead time for logistics from shore.

H—PFO Related Approvals and Compliance

The project already has a dedicated resource for compliance covering the design and construction scopes and this will naturally pass on to PFO as the sail away becomes closer. Nevertheless the PFO Team have a high focus on follow up and support the project compliance scope.

The nominated QHSE Coordinator for LIBRA will be responsible to maintain a Compliance Matrix from PFO in addition to the one from project that will be focused specifically on the licenses for onshore facilities and arrival of the FPSO in Brazil. Therefore the QHSE Coordinator should be nominated in advance during the project phase to ensure this scope is properly performed and a temporarily mobilization to Singapore will be required in a later stage of the project prior to sail away.

 

5.10

I—OPEX Review and Forecast

The Operations Advisor, supported by the PFO Team, will review the estimated OPEX during the BID phase in order to review/fine tune the forecast for the first and second year of operations based on the operations contracts being signed with actual figures, inputs from the actual costs for manpower, onshore infra-structures, spare parts, corporate support, insurances and others as well as possible designe or strategy changes during project phase that could affect the OPEX.

This will have to be presented to the OOGTK Management within 6 months prior to sail away in order to have enough time for possible optimizations and etc.

This scope will be executed by Operations advisor supported by PFO Team and no specific mobilization is forecasted.

 

5.11

J—PFO Management and Cost

 

5.11.1

Scope Planning

It is a critical item to have the PFO proper planned in order to secure that all teams, infra-structure and systems are in place in due time and cost effective way for the smooth transition from project into operations.

Numerous documents were prepared to enable the plan and control all the PFO and these are listed on item 2 from this document.

The Scope of Work has been assessed and broken down into different sub items from “A” to “J”.

5.11.2 Scheduling

Scheduling includes the processes required to accomplish timely completion of the PFO work.

Scheduling comprises: activity definition, activity sequencing, activity resource estimating, activity duration estimating, schedule development and, schedule control.

Duration, taking into account constraints as e.g. availability of key personnel, will be estimated and the time schedule will be developed and issued.

The overall structure of the time schedule is as follows:

 

   

External Milestone at top

 

   

Summary schedule for each PFO scope item

 

   

Detailed schedule with logical relation for the activities within an item

5.11.3

Cost

The purpose of cost management is planning, estimating, budgeting and controlling cost, so that the PFO work can be complete within the approved budget.

With regards to procurement, in some specific situations safety and quality will prevail above cost.

 

5.11.4

Human Resources Management

The Human Resource Management below includes the process to organize and manage the PFO Team.

The PFO Team is the temporary organization mobilized to execute the PFO work, whereas the fully qualified and permanent Operational Organization of the FPSO PIONEIRO DE LIBRA is a deliverable from PFO scope. Some key team members of the PFO Team will also be a part of the succeeding Operational Organization, this in order to be prepared for management positions during operation.

The resources mobilized during the project phase that will be part of the operations team in the future will follow the established policy by PMT for all teams and no rotation or different agreements shall be made.

Human Resource Planning.

The PFO Organization Chart will be established as well as the mobilization schedule. All such related information should be included within the “Operations Recruitment & Manning Plan”.

The needs from the project to the PFO team will change during the project execution phase and the scope of some PFO team members will have to be updated. To have such flexibility each member from the PFO team will have its scope of work defined within the “PFO Team Management Control” document.

Mobilization

The main PFO team will be mobilized as required by the main Project Plan (Histogram and Schedule). There may be necessity to mobilize temporary staff for some specific scopes. This should be managed as a “closed scope” so that the resource is de-mobilized as per plan.

Additional staffing shall be agreed with Project Director and relevant stakeholders before implementation.

 

5.11.5

Reporting

At a preliminary phase of the project a monthly report will be issued and later on will change into weekly or even daily report (sail away, installation and start-up) as per necessity agreed between Operations Advisor and Project Director.

HANDOVER FROM PROJECTS TO OPERATIONS AND PFO CLOSE-OUT

 

6.1

HANDOVER FROM PROJECTS TO OPERATION

During the project phase a procedure for handover from projects to operation must be developed and agreed between the Project Director and Operations Advisor with close cooperation with the Commissioning Manager.

In the above mentioned document it should be agreed not only the process but also the milestones in which the handover will take place (e.g. at Sail Away from shipyard, arrival in Brazil, 1st Oil .)

 

6.2

PFO CLOSE-OUT

Closing involves the activities to formally terminate all activities of the PFO and to hand-over the deliverables and results. All temporary contracts, persons mobilized and a final close out report will be issued.

The PFO scope will be determined as finalized when the 1st Oil is achieved and therefore all cost related items should aim this as the final target for activity and cost purposes.
