(G) |

Further, Stream has agreed to assign to Trafigura the proceeds of Insurances (as defined in paragraph 10) in respect of the Trafigura Security Assets (as defined in paragraph 12). |
(H) |
The Bank, Stream and Stream Canada have agreed to enter into amendment agreements in respect of each of the Facility Agreement and the Charge Agreement to permit Stream to enter into the Prepayment Agreement and to give the Trafigura Security. Entry into this Agreement is a condition precedent to such amendment agreements becoming effective. |
(I) |
The Parties wish to enter into this Agreement in order to coordinate Trafigura’s rights under the Prepayment Agreement to set off certain sums owing to Trafigura by Stream against the value of cargoes delivered to Trafigura by Stream and in respect of the Trafigura Security, with the Bank’s rights under the Facility Agreement, the Charge Agreement, the Security Agreement and related finance documents (together, the “Financing Documents”). |
FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE ADEQUACY OF WHICH IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, IT IS AGREED as follows:
1. |
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Financing Documents, the Bank agrees that Trafigura shall be entitled to set off, pursuant to Clause 5 of the Prepayment Agreement, certain amounts owing to Trafigura by Stream under the Prepayment Agreement against the purchase price of crude oil cargoes under the Sales Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Clause 5 of the Prepayment Agreement during the period of time until the Bank has promptly notified Trafigura that there is no indebtedness of Stream under the Financing Documents (the “Bank Facility Period”), each amount set off by Trafigura in any month shall not exceed the Permitted Amount for that month. In any case, at the end of the Bank Facility Period there shall be no restrictions on Trafigura’s right to set off amounts under the Prepayment Agreement against the amounts owed under the Sales Contract. |
For the purpose of this Agreement:
“Amortisation Table” means the amortisation table appearing at Schedule 1 to this Agreement as may be amended from time to time by the prior written consent of Stream, the Bank and Trafigura);
“Permitted Amount” for each month shall be the lower of:
a. |
the amount set out in the Amortisation Table for that month expressed as percentage of the aggregate of (i) the principal amount scheduled to be outstanding under the Facility Agreement in that month and (ii) the amounts due for repayment by Stream under the Prepayment Agreement in that month; and |
b. |
the total amounts then due for repayment by Stream under the Prepayment Agreement (excluding any voluntary repayments). |
2. |
Trafigura and Stream shall ensure that Trafigura pays the amounts payable to Stream under the Prepayment Agreement through Stream’s accounts held with the Bank or with Raiffeisen Bank International, Vienna, at the discretion of Stream. |
2
3. |
The principal amount outstanding under the Prepayment Agreement shall be reduced by way of set-off in accordance with the Amortisation Table appearing at Schedule 1 to this Coordination Agreement. Should Stream fail to deliver sufficient crude oil under the Sales Contract in a month so as to permit set-off of the amount specified in Schedule 1, Stream shall pay to Trafigura the difference between the actual amount set-off and the set-off amount for such month appearing in Schedule 1 (such difference being the “Deficiency Amount”). Notwithstanding any provision of the Financing Documents, payment of the Deficiency Amount shall not constitute a default or termination event under or a breach of the Financing Documents. |
4. |
The aggregate amount of prepayments to be made by Trafigura to Stream under the Prepayment Agreement shall not exceed $7,000,000 without the Bank’s prior written consent. |
5. |
Notwithstanding any provision of the Financing Documents, the Bank: |
a. |
waives its right to a charge over any equipment and materials which shall be purchased by Stream for the expansion of production of the Cakran, Gorisht, Ballsh and Delvina Field projects utilising solely funds received from Trafigura under the Prepayment Agreement (the “Relevant Equipment”); |
b. |
affirms Stream’s right to grant and Trafigura’s right to obtain a charge over such Relevant Equipment; and |
c. |
acknowledges that the granting of a charge by Stream in favour of Trafigura over the Relevant Equipment and the assignment of proceeds of Insurances (as defined in paragraph 10) in respect of the Trafigura Security Assets (as defined in paragraph 12) shall not constitute a default or termination event under or a breach of any or all of the Financing Documents. |
Stream shall notify the Bank within 14 days of purchasing any Relevant Equipment.
6. |
Each of the Parties agrees that: |
a. |
unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the liabilities owed by Stream to the Bank and Trafigura shall rank pari passu; and |
b. |
the Bank Security and the Trafigura Security granted by Stream shall secure the following liabilities (but only to the extent that such security is expressed to secure those liabilities): |
i. |
the Bank Security and any other security created pursuant to the Financing Documents shall rank and secure liabilities of Stream to the Bank under the Financing Documents (the “Financing Documents Liabilities”); and |
ii. |
the Trafigura Security shall rank and secure the liabilities of Stream to Trafigura under the Prepayment Agreement (the “Prepayment Agreement Liabilities”). |
7. |
Each Creditor is entitled to make a demand under, or take any other enforcement action in respect of, the Trafigura Guarantee or the Bank Guarantee, as applicable. If any Creditor makes a demand under, or takes any other enforcement action in respect of, the Trafigura Guarantee or the Bank Guarantee, as applicable to it, the other Creditor shall also promptly make a demand or take a similar enforcement action in respect of its guarantee as it is entitled to take under its guarantee and in accordance with the terms of its guarantee. |
3
(a) |
first, in or towards payment pro rata of the costs of that recovery. The costs of any recovery pursuant to the Trafigura Guarantee or the Bank Guarantee shall be shared by the Creditors pro rata to the principal amount of the Prepayment Agreement Liabilities and the Financing Documents Liabilities; and |
(b) |
second, in or towards payment pro rata of the Prepayment Agreement Liabilities and the Financing Documents Liabilities on the pari passu basis. |
9. |
Each Creditor shall hold the amount of any receipt or recovery payable to another Creditor (less the pro rata share of the costs of the recovery attributable to that other Creditor) on trust for that other Creditor and promptly pay that amount to that other Creditor for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
10. |
Stream shall: |
(a) |
insure all its assets and business of an insurable nature with reputable insurers of good standing; |
(b) |
comply with all insurance conditions imposed by any lease, agreement for lease or tenancy under which Stream derives an interest; |
(c) |
procure that the insurances it must maintain to comply with this Clause (the “Insurances”): |
(i) |
are on the same terms and cover the same risks as those normally taken out by prudent companies owning or possessing similar assets and carrying on similar businesses to Stream’s; and |
(ii) |
are in such amounts as is prudent (including for the full replacement value from time to time of any assets destroyed or otherwise becoming a total loss); |
(d) |
where the assets in question are, or are expressed to be, the subject of the Bank Security or Trafigura Security, ensure the Bank is endorsed on the policies as loss payee and promptly provide evidence to that effect to the Bank; |
(e) |
pay when due all premiums and other amounts payable under the Insurances and, promptly when asked by the Lender, produce receipts for payment of the premiums; |
(f) |
promptly when asked by the Bank, deposit with or produce for inspection to the Bank all policies and other contracts for the Insurances; and |
(g) |
use reasonable endeavours to prevent any act, omission or circumstance that would be reasonably likely to render void or voidable any of the Insurances. |
11. |
The provisions of this Agreement are without prejudice to the Bank’s rights in respect of the Insurances under the Facility Agreement. To the extent that Stream’s obligations under the Prepayment Agreement and the Trafigura Security in respect of Insurances conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. |
4
12. |
The Bank shall hold the amount of insurance proceeds paid to it under the Insurances in respect of the assets which the Bank reasonably believes to be, or which are expressed to be, the subject the Trafigura Security (“Trafigura Security Assets”) (less the costs referred to in this paragraph) on trust for Trafigura and promptly pay that amount to Trafigura. The costs incurred by the Bank in connection with any such payment of the proceeds of Insurances in respect of the Trafigura Security Assets shall be for the account of Trafigura. The Bank shall be entitled to apply the insurance proceeds paid to it under the Insurances in respect of the Trafigura Security Assets towards the payment of such costs before paying the remaining amount of the proceeds to Trafigura. |
13. |
