5.14If the Second SUN New Equity Funding Confirmation Notice does not confirm SUN New Equity Sufficient Funds, the provisions of paragraph 1 of the SUN New Equity Commitment Letter shall be enforced by TIL.

 

5.15In the event of any failure by a SUN New Equity Subscriber that is a Regulated SUN New Equity Subscriber to subscribe for the SUN New Equity on a “delivery versus payment” basis on the Composite Restructuring Effective Date in accordance with Clause 5.3, the provisions of paragraph 1 of the SUN New Equity Commitment Letter shall be enforced by TIL.
