All payments to be made by the Borrower under the Senior Finance Documents (other than the Hedging Agreements) shall be made without any deduction and free and clear of and without any Tax Deduction, except to the extent that the Borrower is required by law to make payment subject to any Taxes. If any Tax Deduction must be made from any amounts payable or paid by the Borrower under the Senior Finance Documents (other than the Hedging Agreements), the Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the relevant Senior Finance Party receives a sum net of any Tax Deduction or deduction or withholding equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Tax Deduction been made or required to be made. Each Senior Finance Party (other than ADB and JBIC) shall, on request of the Borrower and to the extent reasonably available, provide a certificate of its tax residency and any other supporting documents required by a Governmental Authority for the administration and filing of Tax returns with respect to payments made by the Borrower under the Senior Finance Documents. |
(b) |
The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Intercreditor Agent and JBIC (if the Tax Deduction is with respect to a Covered Lender) accordingly. Similarly, the Intercreditor Agent shall notify the Borrower on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to a Senior Lender. |
(c) |
If the Borrower is required by law to make a Tax Deduction from any amounts paid or payable under the Senior Finance Documents (other than the Hedging Agreements), the Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law, unless being contested in good faith and through appropriate proceedings that would not reasonably be likely to involve any substantial danger of the sale, forfeiture, loss or interference of or in the Project or the Project Assets or to have a Material Adverse Effect in the opinion of the Intercreditor Agent and in respect of which the Borrower has deposited adequate segregated cash reserves into an account approved by the Intercreditor Agent and which is secured to the Intercreditor Agent’s satisfaction for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties. |
(d) |
Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Intercreditor Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Intercreditor Agent (including all relevant Tax receipts) and JBIC (if the Tax Deduction is with respect to a Covered Lender) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority. |
9.2 |
Tax Credits |
(a) |
If, following a payment by the Borrower of any additional amount under Clause 9.1 (Tax gross-up) or any amount under Clause 25.2 (Tax Indemnity) (“Tax Payment”), a Senior Lender (other than ADB and JBIC) has determined that it has received or has been granted a credit against or remission for any Taxes (“Tax Credit”) payable by it or relating to an amount in respect of which the Borrower has made a Tax Payment and that Senior Lender has obtained, utilised and retained a Tax Credit, the Senior Lender will, subject to the Borrower having made the Tax Payment and to the extent that the Senior Lender can do so in its sole opinion without prejudicing the retention of the amount of the Tax Credit and without prejudice to the right of such Senior Lender to obtain any other benefit, relief or allowance which may be available to it, reimburse to the Borrower such amount as the Senior Lender, in its discretion, shall certify to be the proportion of such credit or remission (if any) as will leave the Senior Lender (after such reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in had the relevant Tax Payment not been made. |
(b) |
Any determination made by a Senior Lender under paragraph (a) above shall be conclusive absent manifest error. |
(c) |
Any reimbursement due under paragraph (a) above shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Senior Lender certified the amount of the credit or remission. If any applicable credit or remission is withdrawn or required to be repaid by any Senior Lender, the Borrower shall, on request, promptly refund any payment made under paragraph (a) above. |
(d) |
Nothing in paragraph (a) above shall: |
(i) |
require any Senior Lender to disclose to the Borrower any details of its Tax affairs or computations; |
(ii) |
interfere with the right of any Senior Lender to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; or |
(iii) |
require any Senior Lender to claim relief in respect of any payment under Clause 9.1 (Tax gross-up) in priority to any other reliefs, claims or credits available to it. |
9.3 |
FATCA Deduction and gross-up by the Borrower and Equity Parties |
(a) |
If the Borrower or any Equity Party is required to make a FATCA Deduction, the Borrower or that Equity Party (as the case may be) shall make that FATCA Deduction and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by FATCA. |
(b) |
If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by the Borrower or any Equity Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or that Equity Party (as the case may be) shall be increased to an amount which (after making any FATCA Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no FATCA Deduction had been required. |
(c) |
The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it or any Equity Party must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Intercreditor Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Senior Finance Party shall notify the Intercreditor Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Senior Finance Party. If the Intercreditor Agent receives such notification from a Senior Finance Party it shall notify the Borrower. |
(d) |
Within thirty (30) days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Borrower or the Equity Party making that FATCA Deduction or payment (as the case may be) shall deliver to the Intercreditor Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Intercreditor Agent and the Senior Finance Party entitled to the payment that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant governmental or taxation authority. |
9.4 |
FATCA Deduction by the Senior Finance Parties |
(a) |
Each of the Senior Finance Parties may make any FATCA Deduction it is required by FATCA to make, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Senior Finance Party 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. A Senior Finance Party which becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another Party (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify that Party and the Intercreditor Agent. |
(b) |
If an Agent is required to make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Senior Finance Party under Clause 8.3 (Distribution) which relates to a payment by the Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after that Agent has made such FATCA Deduction), leaves that Agent with an amount equal to the payment which would have been made by that Agent if no FATCA Deduction had been required. Each Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Senior Finance Party under Clause 8.3 (Distribution) which relates to a payment by the Borrower (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Borrower and the relevant Senior Finance Party. |
(c) |
The Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Intercreditor Agent) pay to the relevant Senior Finance Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which the Senior Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered by the Senior Finance Party, as a result of the Senior Finance Party making a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment due to the Senior Finance Party under the Senior Finance Documents. This paragraph shall not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under paragraph (b) above. |
(d) |
A Senior Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (c) above shall promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent of the FATCA Deduction which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Intercreditor Agent shall notify the Borrower. |
9.5 |
FATCA Information |
(a) |
Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party (other than JBIC and ADB) shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by the Intercreditor Agent: |
(i) |
confirm to the Intercreditor Agent or the Borrower whether it is: |
(A) |
a FATCA Exempt Party; or |
(B) |
not a FATCA Exempt Party; and |
(ii) |
supply to the Intercreditor Agent or the Borrower such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the relevant United States Treasury regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as the Intercreditor Agent or the Borrower reasonably requests for the purposes of any other Party's compliance with FATCA. |
(b) |
If a Party confirms to the Intercreditor Agent or the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above 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 promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent. |
(c) |
Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Senior Finance Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of: |
(i) |
any law or regulation; |
(ii) |
any policy of that Senior Finance Party; |
(iii) |
any fiduciary duty; or |
(iv) |
any duty of confidentiality. |
(d) |
If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (b) above applies), then: |
(i) |
if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then that Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Senior Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and |
(ii) |
if that Party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Senior Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is one hundred percent (100%), |
until (in each case) such time as that Party provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.
9.6 |
Tax Credit and FATCA |
If the Borrower makes a FATCA Payment and the relevant Senior Finance Party determines that:
(a) |
a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that FATCA Payment forms part, to that FATCA Payment or to a FATCA Deduction in consequence of which that FATCA Payment was required; and |
(b) |
that Senior Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit, |
the Senior Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that Senior Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the FATCA Payment not been required to be made by the Borrower.
10. |
Market Disruption |
10.1 |
Failure of a Reference Bank to Supply a Rate |
If LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 12.00 noon (London time) two (2) London Quotation Days before the first day of an Interest Period for a Floating Rate Senior Loan, the applicable LIBOR shall, subject to the terms of Clause 10.2 (Market Disruption), be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.
10.2 |
Market Disruption |
(a) |
Each of the following events is a “Market Disruption Event”: |
(i) |
with respect to the Floating Rate Senior Facilities, at or about 12.00 noon (London time) two (2) London Quotation Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate for the relevant Interest Period; or |
(ii) |
with respect to: |
(A) |
ADB Tranche A, ADB notifies the Intercreditor Agent by close of business on the first Business Day falling after the second London Quotation Day before the first day of the relevant Interest period that the cost to ADB of funding its participation in any Advance under the ADB Tranche A would be in excess of LIBOR for the term of the Interest Period; |
(B) |
the JBIC Facility, the JBIC Facility Agent notifies the Intercreditor Agent by close of business on first Business Day falling after the second London Quotation Day before the first day of the relevant Interest period that the cost to JBIC of funding its participation in any Advance under the JBIC Facility would be in excess of LIBOR for that Interest Period; or |
(C) |
the Covered Lenders Facility, the Covered Lenders Facility Agent receives, by close of business on the first Business Day falling after the second London Quotation Day before the first day of the relevant Interest Period, notification from a Covered Lender or Covered Lenders whose Participations in the Floating Rate Senior Loans outstanding under the Covered Lenders Facility exceed forty per cent. (40%) of the aggregate Participations in the Floating Rate Senior Loans outstanding under the Covered Lenders Facility, that the cost to such Covered Lender or Covered Lenders of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market to fund its participation in any Advance under the Covered Lenders Facility would be in excess of LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period. |
(b) |
Following a Market Disruption Event in respect of Floating Rate Senior Facility, the relevant Facility Agent or ADB (as applicable) will promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent and the Intercreditor Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the other Senior Lenders (if any) party to the relevant Senior Facility Agreement of such Market Disruption Event. |
(c) |
If a Market Disruption Event occurs, the rate of interest on each Senior Lender's share in a Floating Rate Senior Loan under the relevant Floating Rate Senior Facility for the relevant Interest Period will be the aggregate of: |
(i) |
the Margin applicable to such Floating Rate Senior Loan in accordance with the terms of the relevant Senior Facility Agreement; and |
(ii) |
the rate notified to the Intercreditor Agent by that Senior Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days before interest is due to be paid in respect of that term of that Floating Rate Senior Loan, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Senior Lender of funding its share in that Floating Rate Senior Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. |
10.3 |
Alternative Basis of Interest or Funding |
(a) |
If a Market Disruption Event occurs in respect of a Floating Rate Senior Facility and the relevant Facility Agent or ADB (as applicable), or the Borrower, so requires, the Borrower and that Facility Agent or ADB (as applicable) must enter into negotiations for a period of not more than thirty (30) days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest and/or funding for the affected Floating Rate Senior Loan. |
(b) |
Any alternative basis agreed with respect to the affected Floating Rate Senior Loan will be, with the prior consent of all of the Senior Lenders who have a Participation in that Floating Rate Senior Loan, binding on all the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties fail to reach agreement on such alternative basis, the rate of interest payable on each affected Floating Rate Senior Loan shall continue to be determined in accordance with Clause 10.2(c) (Market Disruption). |
(c) |
If: |
(i) |
the percentage rate per annum notified by a Senior Lender pursuant to Clause 10.2(c) (Market Disruption) above is less than LIBOR; or |
(ii) |
a Senior Lender has not notified the Intercreditor Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, of a percentage rate per annum pursuant to Clause 10.2(c) (Market Disruption), |
the cost to that Senior Lender of funding its participation in that Floating Rate Senior Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of Clause 10.2(c) (Market Disruption), to be LIBOR.

(e) |
Each Senior Finance Party shall, upon becoming aware that it will incur or has incurred an Increased Cost, notify the Borrower and the Intercreditor Agent accordingly, provided that the failure of any Senior Finance Party to so notify the Borrower shall in no way relieve the Borrower of its obligation under this Clause 11 (Increased Costs) to pay that Increased Cost above upon notice from such Senior Finance Party. |
11.2 |
Exceptions |
Clause 11.1 (Increased Costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

Mitigation |
(a) |

an alternative basis applying for the purposes of Clause 10.2 (Market Disruption); or |

On each occasion that an Existing Senior Lender transfers any of its Commitment and/or any of its Participation and/or assigns or transfers any of its rights and/or obligations under the Senior Finance Documents, the New Senior Lender shall pay to each of the Intercreditor Agent, each Security Agent, (in the case of a transfer or assignment with respect to rights and/or obligations under the Covered Lenders Facility Agreement) the Covered Lenders Facility Agent and (in the case of a transfer or assignment with respect to rights and/or obligations under the JBIC Facility Agreement) the JBIC Facility Agent for their own account at least three (3) Business Days before the assignment or transfer takes effect a transfer fee of USD2,500. |
(e) |
An Existing Senior Lender is not responsible to a New Senior Lender for: |
(i) |
the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Senior Finance Document or any other document; |
(ii) |
the collectability of amounts payable under any Senior Finance Document; or |
(iii) |
the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Senior Finance Document. |
(f) |
Each New Senior Lender confirms to the Existing Senior Lender and the other Senior Finance Parties that it: |
(i) |
has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower Entity and each Major Project Party and each of their related entities in connection with its participation in the Senior Finance Documents and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Senior Lender in connection with any Senior Finance Document; and |
(ii) |
will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower Entity and each Major Project Party and each of their related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under the Senior Finance Documents or any Total Commitment is in force. |
(g) |
Nothing in any Senior Finance Document obliges an Existing Senior Lender to: |
(i) |
accept a re-transfer from the New Senior Lender of any of the rights and/or obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 28.2 (Transfers by Senior Lenders); or |
(ii) |
support any losses incurred by the New Senior Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Borrower Entity or any Major Project Party of its obligations under the Senior Finance Documents or otherwise. |
(h) |
Any reference in this Agreement to a Senior Lender includes the New Senior Lender but excludes such Senior Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under the Senior Finance Documents and its Commitment has been cancelled or reduced to nil. |
28.3 |
Procedure for Transfer – Senior Lenders |
(a) |
A transfer of obligations with respect to a Senior Facility is effected if: |
(i) |
the Existing Senior Lender and the New Senior Lender deliver to the Intercreditor Agent and the relevant Facility Agent (if any) a Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders together with such further documents and acknowledgements as may be necessary (in the reasonable opinion of the Intercreditor Agent) to perfect or protect the security created under the Security Documents; |
(ii) |
the Intercreditor Agent and the relevant Facility Agent (if any) executes such Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders, provided that the Intercreditor Agent and the relevant Facility Agent (if any) shall not be obliged to execute such Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders unless all Know Your Customer Requirements in relation to the transfer to such New Senior Lender have been completed; and |
(iii) |
all fees required to be paid pursuant to Clause 28.2(d) (Transfers by Senior Lenders) have been paid. |
(b) |
Each Party (other than the Existing Senior Lender and the New Senior Lender) irrevocably authorises the Intercreditor Agent and its relevant Facility Agent (if any) to execute any duly completed Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders on its behalf. |
(c) |
To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the transfer in the relevant Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders: |
(i) |
the Existing Senior Lender and the other Parties (the “Existing Parties”) will be released from their obligations to each other (the “Discharged Obligations”); |
(ii) |
the New Senior Lender and the Existing Parties will assume obligations towards each other which differ from the Discharged Obligations only insofar as they are owed to or assumed by the New Senior Lender instead of the Existing Senior Lender; |
(iii) |
the rights of the Existing Senior Lender against the Existing Parties and vice versa (the “Discharged Rights”) will be cancelled; and |
(iv) |
the New Senior Lender and the Existing Parties will acquire rights against each other which differ from the Discharged Rights only insofar as they are exercisable by or against the New Senior Lender instead of the Existing Senior Lender, |
all on the date of execution of the Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders by the Intercreditor Agent or, if later, the date specified in the Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders.
(d) |
Upon the execution of a Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders in accordance with paragraph (a) above: |
(i) |
the Intercreditor Agent shall deliver promptly a copy of such Deed of Novation – Senior Lenders to the Borrower and the applicable Facility Agent (if any); and |
(ii) |
the Intercreditor Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, the Facility Agents, ADB, the Existing Senior Lender and the New Senior Lender an acknowledgement of such transfer together with a statement showing the revised Commitments and/or Participations (as applicable) owing to each Senior Lender under the relevant Senior Facility. |
28.4 |
Hedging Counterparties |
(a) |
A person may become party to this Agreement and the Intercreditor Deed as a Hedging Counterparty after the Signing Date only: |
(i) |
if that person is an Eligible Bank; and |
(ii) |
upon the full execution and delivery to the Intercreditor Agent of a Deed of Accession – Hedging Counterparties. |
(b) |
Upon delivery to the Intercreditor Agent of a Deed of Accession – Hedging Counterparties as contemplated under paragraph (a)(ii) above, the Eligible Bank signing as a Hedging Counterparty thereunder shall become a Hedging Counterparty for the purposes of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Deed and (to the extent applicable) the other Senior Finance Documents and be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations applicable to a Hedging Counterparty under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Deed and the other Senior Finance Documents (to the extent applicable). |
28.5 |
Sub-participations |
(a) |
A Senior Lender may grant a sub-participation (or an arrangement having a similar economic effect) in all or any part of its Commitment and/or Participation to any commercial bank or lending institution; provided that: |
(i) |
no such sub-participation shall alter such Senior Lender’s obligations under the Senior Finance Documents; and |
(ii) |
in the case of a Covered Lender, JBIC has provided its prior written consent. |
(b) |
The Senior Lenders shall be entitled to provide documents and information relating to any such sub-participation to potential purchasers of any such sub-participation, provided that such potential purchaser (other than a potential purchase of a sub-participation with respect to all or any part of ADB’s or JBIC’s Commitment and/or Participation) has entered into an undertaking enforceable by the Borrower to keep such information confidential, the terms of which are at least as favourable to the Borrower as the terms of Clause 30.2 (Senior Finance Party Confidentiality). |
28.6 |
Security over Senior Lenders’ Rights |
In addition to the other rights provided to the Senior Lenders under this Clause 28 (Changes to the Parties), each Senior Lender (other than a Covered Senior Lender) may, without consulting with or obtaining the consent from the Borrower, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create security in or over (whether by way of security or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Senior Finance Document to secure obligations of that Senior Lender including any charge, assignment or other security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank and in the case of any Senior Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other security granted to any holders (or trustee or representative of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Senior Lender as security for those obligations or securities, except that, in each case, no such charge, assignment or security shall:
(a) |
release a Senior Lender from any of its obligations under the Senior Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other security for the Senior Lender as party to any of the Senior Finance Documents; or |
(b) |
require any payment to be made by the Borrower or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Senior Lender under the Senior Finance Documents. |
28.7 |
Register |
The Intercreditor Agent shall keep a register of all the Parties and shall supply any other Party (at that Party’s expense) with a copy of the register on request.
28.8 |
Lending Offices |
Each Senior Lender (other than JBIC) shall participate in the Senior Facilities to which it is a party through its Lending Office, but may change its Lending Office from time to time in relation to all or part of its Commitment and/or Participation in such Senior Facility or Senior Facilities, as the case may be, after giving not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Intercreditor Agent, and in the case of a Covered Lender, with the prior written consent of JBIC.
28.9 |
Costs resulting from change of Senior Lender or Lending Office |
If:
(a) |
a Senior Lender (other than JBIC or ADB or a Covered Lender who assigns or transfers any such rights to JBIC pursuant to Clause 28.13 (Subrogation and Assignment) of the Reimbursement and Subrogation Agreement) otherwise than at the request of the Borrower assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Senior Finance Documents or changes its Lending Office; and |
(b) |
as a result of circumstances existing at the date of the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obligated to make a payment to the New Senior Lender or the existing Senior Lender acting through its new Lending Office under Clause 9.1 (Tax gross-up) or Clause 11.3 (Increased Cost Payments), |
then, unless the assignment, transfer or change occurs while an Event of Default subsists, the Borrower need only make such payment to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred.
28.10 |
Reference Banks |
If a Senior Lender that is a Reference Bank ceases to be a Senior Lender, the Intercreditor Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint another Senior Lender or an Affiliate of another Senior Lender to replace that Reference Bank.
28.11 |
Additional Transfer Requirements |
(a) |
Unless a New Senior Lender or a new Hedging Counterparty expressly agrees with the Intercreditor Agent in writing to the contrary, in no event shall an assignment, novation or transfer of rights or obligations permitted under Clause 28.2 (Transfers by Senior Lenders) or an accession permitted under Clause 28.4 (Hedging Counterparties) (as the case may be) be effective unless and until the Intercreditor Agent confirms to the Existing Senior Lender and the New Senior Lender that the Borrower has complied with those of its obligations under paragraph (b) below which the Intercreditor Agent determines are required under Applicable Law to be performed prior to the assignment, novation or transfer, or accession, taking effect. |
(b) |
The Borrower undertakes that it shall, promptly upon request of the Intercreditor Agent and at its cost: |

(iv) |
obtain all authorisations, registrations and do all other things that it is required to obtain or do under Applicable Law, or which the Intercreditor Agent reasonably considers necessary or desirable, to ensure that: |
(A) |
each Senior Finance Document will continue to be a legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each party thereto (including a proposed New Senior Lender and new Hedging Counterparty); and |
(B) |
the Security Interests created by each Security Document will continue to be valid and effective in all respects (including in respect of a proposed New Senior Lender and new Hedging Counterparty); and |
(C) |
each Security Document that is governed by Indonesian law will continue to be a legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each party thereto and the Security Interests created by each such Security Document will continue to be valid and effective and will extend to secure the obligations of the Borrower to all Senior Secured Parties (including the New Senior Lender and new Hedging Counterparty) under the Senior Finance Documents. |

(b) |
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including compliance with the requirements of paragraph (c) below and the conditions in paragraph (d) below, the Borrower may, in the circumstances set out in paragraph (a) above, replace a Covered Lender by requiring such Covered Lender to (and such Covered Lender shall) transfer pursuant to this Clause 28 (Changes to the Parties) all of its Commitment and Participations to one or more Senior Lenders or New Senior Lenders selected by the Borrower (each a “Replacement Senior Lender”). |

The requirements referred to in paragraph (b) above are: |
(i) |
the transferring Covered Lender must complete satisfactory “know-your-customer requirements” in respect of the proposed replacement Covered Lender; |
(ii) |
the Borrower and the transferring Covered Lender must obtain JBIC’s prior written consent to the proposed replacement Covered Lender; and |
(iii) |
the Replacement Senior Lender must confirm its willingness to purchase and to assume the relevant Covered Lender’s Commitment and Participations (as the case may be), and acquire all of the rights and assume all the relevant obligations, of that Senior Lender on the same basis as the existing Covered Lender pursuant to an assignment or transfer in accordance with the provisions of Clause 28 (Changes to the Parties). |
(d) |
The replacement of a Covered Lender shall be subject to the further conditions that: |
(i) |
each assignment, transfer or assumption of Commitments and/or Participations in Senior Loans shall be arranged by the Borrower; |
(ii) |
no Covered Lender shall be obliged to make any assignment or transfer pursuant unless and until it has received payment from the Replacement Senior Lender(s) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Senior Loans outstanding and owing to the relevant Covered Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees (including, if the effective date of the assignment or transfer is not an Interest Payment Date in relation to any Participation in a Senior Loan being transferred, any Breakage Costs and all other amounts payable to the existing Covered Lender under this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents); |
(iii) |
if the Covered Lender to be replaced is also a Hedging Counterparty: |
(A) |
the Replacement Senior Lender is an Eligible Bank; |
(B) |
either: |
(1) |
the Hedging Agreements entered into by the Borrower and the existing Covered Lender must be novated to the Replacement Senior Lender on terms to be agreed with the Covered Lender being replaced; or |

(i) |
the Borrower and the Intercreditor Agent (on behalf of the Covered Lenders) acknowledge and agree that, if JBIC makes any payment pursuant to the EPRG (each such payment being an “EPRG Payment”), JBIC shall immediately be subrogated, to the extent of such EPRG Payment, to the rights and interests of each Covered Lender, including the rights and interests under the other Senior Finance Documents and to any Project Assets as a Senior Secured Party (the “Subrogation Rights”), and that such Subrogation Rights and the Borrower's obligations hereunder to JBIC as the subrogee shall constitute unpaid obligations for the purposes of this Agreement; and |
(ii) |
in furtherance of the foregoing, promptly upon JBIC’s request, the Covered Lenders or the Intercreditor Agent on behalf of the Covered Lenders shall execute any assignment and transfer documentation and endorsements reasonably requested by JBIC and permitted by Applicable Laws to effect the transfer to JBIC of all rights, title and interest in and to the Senior Loans, this Agreement, the other Senior Finance Documents and any other related agreements, documents and instruments, including rights to the Project Assets securing the obligations owed to the Covered Lenders, to the extent of JBIC’s Subrogation Rights, whereupon JBIC shall become, subject to paragraph (b) below, a “Covered Lender” for the purposes of the Senior Finance Documents (other than the EPRG) with respect to such assigned or transferred Subrogation Rights. |

Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above: |
(i) |
the terms and conditions of the Senior Loans in respect of which JBIC has Subrogation Rights and/or which are assigned or transferred to JBIC pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above shall be deemed to be those set out in the Senior Finance Documents which are applicable to Senior Loans under the JBIC Facility; and |

JBIC shall not, with respect to the Subrogation Rights, be treated as a Covered Lender for the purposes of Clauses 9 (Taxes), 11 (Increased Costs), 12 (Mitigation) and 28 (Changes to the Parties) and shall instead be treated for all purposes as JBIC, |

Subject to Clause 8 (Sharing) of the Intercreditor Deed, a Senior Finance Party may, while an Event of Default is subsisting, set off any matured obligation owed by the Borrower under the Senior Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Senior Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Senior Finance Party to the Borrower, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.

(i) |
there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings; |
(ii) |

any party would be materially prejudiced as a result of consolidation, through undue delay or otherwise. |

It is further understood and agreed that the Reinsurer shall be entitled to avoid liability under the reinsurance contract, or (as may be appropriate) claim damages from, any of the Insured Parties in circumstances of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, material non-disclosure or wilful breach of any warranty or condition of this Policy committed by that Insured Party (each referred to in this condition as a “Vitiating Act”). |
14. |
It is however agreed that a Vitiating Act committed by one Insured Party shall not prejudice the right to indemnity of any other Insured Party who has a severable insurable interest and who has not committed a Vitiating Act. |
15. |
The Reinsurer hereby agrees to waive all rights of subrogation which it may have or acquire against any Insured Party in respect of damage or claims insured hereunder except where the rights of subrogation or recourse are acquired in consequence or otherwise following a Vitiating Act, in which circumstances the Reinsurer may enforce such rights notwithstanding the continuing or former status of the vitiating party as an Insured Party; but provided always that the Reinsurer will not exercise any such rights of subrogation howsoever arising against or in competition with or to the prejudice of the rights of the Senior Secured Parties in respect of their interest in the Policy or in monies secured thereon. |
16. |
The Reinsurer hereby agrees that, until such time as the Intercreditor Agent, for and on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, shall have notified the Insurer in writing to the contrary, it shall: |
(a) |
advise the Intercreditor Agent of any proposed cancellation or notice of cancellation, reduction in coverage, material alteration, termination or expiry of any insurance coverage or policy at least thirty (30) days before such cancellation, notice of cancellation, material alteration, termination or expiry takes effect (except with regard to cancellation for strikes or war risks, in which case the notice period shall be seven (7) days (or forty-eight (48) hours with regard to the United States of America)); |
(b) |
promptly advise the Intercreditor Agent of any default by the Borrower in the payment of any premium, or the failure by the Borrower to renew any existing insurance coverage or policy, and give the Intercreditor Agent not less than thirty (30) days’ notice prior to cancelling such insurance coverage or policy to allow the Intercreditor Agent to pay any outstanding or defaulted premium or to renew any existing insurance coverage or policy; and |
(c) |
promptly advise the Intercreditor Agent of: |
(i) |
any act or omission or any event of which any Reinsurer has knowledge and which such Reinsurer considers might invalidate or render unenforceable in whole or in part any related insurance or reinsurance coverage; |
(ii) |
any restriction or reduction in the scope or amount of cover (including any increase in deductible or any addition to the exclusions); and |
(iii) |
any claim exceeding USD1,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency. |
17. |
All notices or other communications under or in connection with this policy will be given in writing or by e-mail or fax. Any such notice will be deemed to be given as follows: |
(a) |
if in writing, when delivered; |
(b) |
if by e-mail, when received in legible form by the recipient; and |
(c) |
if by fax, when transmitted but only if, immediately after the transmission, the sender’s fax machine records the correct answerback. |

PART E
FORM OF BROKER’S LETTER OF UNDERTAKING
To: Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (the Intercreditor Agent)
as agent for the Senior Secured Parties
[Date]
Dear Sirs,
The construction, ownership, operation and maintenance of a 330 MW geothermal power plant and associated infrastructure to be built in Sarulla, North Sumatra, Republic of Indonesia
1. |
We confirm that we are insurance brokers to each of Kyuden Sarulla Pte. Ltd., Orsarulla Inc., PT Medco Geopower Sarulla, Sarulla Operations Ltd and Sarulla Power Asset Limited (the Borrower) in respect of the Insurances (as defined below), arranged by us in relation to this Project. We have been requested by the Borrower, to provide you certain confirmations relating to the Insurances. |
2. |
Accordingly, in our reasonable opinion as insurance brokers, we hereby confirm to you in accordance with the terms of this letter: |
2.1 |
that the insurances and/or, to the extent placed by us, the reinsurances summarised in Appendix 1 attached to this letter (the Insurances/Reinsurances) have been arranged by us and will be, on or before the First Drawdown Date, in full force and effect in respect of the risks and liabilities they cover, as evidenced by the attached cover notes / policies in Appendix 2 attached to this Letter; |
2.2 |
that as at the date of First Drawdown Date all premiums due to date in respect of the Insurances/Reinsurances are paid. We do not, however, make any representations regarding the reputation or financial position of any captive insurer with whom the Insurances/Reinsurances are placed, nor regarding any insurers’ or reinsurers’ current or future solvency or ability to pay claims; |
2.3 |
that a notice of assignment of insurances or reinsurances, as relevant (Notice of Assignment), in substantially the form attached to this letter as Appendix 3, will be, on or before the First Drawdown Date , served on each insurer or reinsurer (as relevant) in respect of each of the Insurances/Reinsurances referenced in Schedule 7 Parts A, B and C of the Common Terms Agreement dated [●] among the Borrower, the Intercreditor Agent, the other agents party thereto and the financial institutions named therein (the Common Terms Agreement). Further we confirm that the endorsements to the Insurance policies attached to this letter as Appendix 4 (the Endorsements) have also been made in respect of the Insurance policies; |
2.4 |
we have arranged the Insurances/Reinsurances on the basis of information and instructions given by the Borrower. We have not made any particular or special enquiries regarding the Insurances/Reinsurances beyond those that we normally make in the ordinary course of arranging such insurances on behalf of our insurance broking clients. We do not represent that the Insurances/Reinsurances are suitable or sufficient to meet the needs of the Senior Secured Parties, who must take their own advice, as they consider necessary to protect their own position; and |
2.5 |
the confirmations set out in this paragraph 2 are given by reference to our state of knowledge at the date hereof. |
3. |
We hereby confirm: |
3.1 |
as soon as reasonably possible after being requested to do so by you, to notify all insurers and reinsurers of the Insurances/Reinsurances, of a Notice of Assignment of the Insurances/Reinsurances and to use our reasonable endeavours to procure that each insurer and reinsurer acknowledges such Notice of Assignment within seven (7) working days of the First Drawdown Date; and |
3.2 |
as soon as reasonably possible after being requested to do so by you, to use our reasonable endeavours to procure that each insurer and reinsurer of the Insurances/Reinsurances, referenced in Schedule 7, Parts A, B and C to the Common Terms Agreement, endorses the relevant Insurance policy/Reinsurance contract with the Endorsements, |
in each case except as already provided under paragraph 2.3 above.
4. |
We hereby further agree to notify you as soon as reasonably possible: |
4.1 |
being at least 30 days prior to the natural expiry of any Insurance/Reinsurance, with details of any information reasonably available to us regarding renewal arrangements, including premiums, insurers/reinsurers, and terms and conditions of renewal cover or alternatively, if this is the case, to notify you of the fact that no such renewal arrangements have been put in place; |
4.2 |
when we are informed by an insurer or reinsurer of any changes in the terms of any Insurance/Reinsurance which we reasonably believe, if effected, would result in any material reduction in limits or alteration in coverage (including those resulting from extensions) or material increase in deductibles, exclusions or exceptions; |
4.3 |
if any premium due has not been paid when due, or if any insurer or reinsurer gives notice of cancellation, non-renewal or avoidance of any Insurance/Reinsurance; |
4.4 |
of any act or omission or of any event of which we have been notified by the Borrower and which in our reasonable opinion might reasonably be foreseen as invalidating any Insurance/Reinsurance or rendering it void, avoidable or unenforceable in whole or in part; |
4.5 |
of any incident or event of which we have been notified of a claim amount exceeding USD1,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency by the Borrower; and |
4.6 |
after giving or receiving notice of termination of our appointment as insurance broker in relation to the Insurances/Reinsurances. |
5. |
The above undertakings are subject to our continuing appointment as insurance and reinsurance broker to the Borrower in relation to the Insurances/Reinsurances and following termination of such appointment we shall be immediately released from all our obligations set out in this letter. |
6. |
For the avoidance of doubt all undertakings and other confirmations given in this letter relate solely to the Insurances/Reinsurances. They do not apply to any other insurances or reinsurances and nothing in this letter should be taken as providing any undertakings or confirmations in relation to any insurance or reinsurance that ought to have been placed or may at some future date be placed by other brokers. |
The above undertakings are given subject to our lien, if any, on the Insurances/Reinsurances for premiums due under the Insurances/Reinsurances and subject to our right of cancellation (if any) following default in excess of 30 days in payment of such premiums but subject to our continuing to be the brokers to the Borrower. We agree to notify you as soon as practicable if any such premiums are not paid to us by the due date and use reasonable endeavours to give you a reasonable opportunity of paying such outstanding premiums before notification of cancellation.
This letter has been prepared exclusively for the use of the addressee for the specific purpose of the lending by the Senior Secured Parties. No responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part of its contents and in the event that it is disclosed to a third party any and all liability howsoever arising to such third party is hereby expressly excluded.
It is understood and agreed that nothing in this letter shall override our obligations at law which cannot be waived or overridden by agreement to place the interests of our client the Borrower before all other considerations. Nothing in this letter shall require us to act in breach of our regulatory duties or obligations from time to time.
This letter is given by us on the instructions of the Borrower and with the Borrower’s full knowledge and consent as to its terms.
Please countersign and return a copy of this letter to indicate that you accept its terms, failing which you should not reply upon the contents of this letter and we disclaim any duty of care to you.
By signing you also warrant that you have authority to and do so bind yourself and any third parties for whom you are agent to the terms of this letter.
Save as provided in this letter, it is to be understood by the Offshore Security Agent, the Onshore Security Agent and the Senior Secured Parties that they may not rely on any advice which we have given to the Borrower, and they must take such steps and advice of their own as they consider necessary in order to protect their own position.
Except to the extent that liability may not be so limited or excluded under applicable laws and save in respect of fraud, death or personal injury, our aggregate liability to the Senior Secured Parties and/or the Borrower under or in connection with this letter, howsoever caused and whether arising under tort, contract or otherwise, shall in any and all events be limited to the sum of USD1,000,000.
The capitalised terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Common Terms Agreement.
This letter shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law and any dispute as to its terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of
[Borrower in the case of an Insurance Broker Letter of Undertaking]

if any Production Well is operating below or above its expected Well Production Capacity at its operating wellhead pressure with expected interference, its Well Production Capacity will be corrected by observing the production rate and wellhead pressure at that Production Well and comparing it to the Deliverability Curve for that Production Well. A correction will be made to account for interference between the Production Xxxxx when they are operating simultaneously; |
(v) |
prior to the Substantial Completion of each Generating Unit, the Injection Xxxxx must be tested in accordance with the test procedures approved by the Senior Lenders’ Reserves Consultant and an initial curve of the initial injection rate as a function of wellhead pressure or downhole pressure (“Injectivity Curve”) must be determined for each Injection Well; |
(vi) |
the Borrower must submit the results of the testing of the Injection Xxxxx and a draft Injectivity Curve to the Senior Lenders’ Reserves Consultant within sixty (60) days after the completion of the testing of each Injection Well pursuant to the Initial Drilling Contract. If required by the Senior Lenders’ Reserves Consultant, the Injection Xxxxx will be retested to determine the Injectivity Curve. The Injectivity Curve will become effective following the approval of the Senior Lenders’ Reserves Consultant; |
(vii) |
if any Injection Well is operating below or above its expected Well Injection Capacity at its operating wellhead pressure with expected interference, its Well Injection Capacity will be corrected by observing the injection rate and wellhead pressure or downhole pressure at that Injection Well and comparing it to the Injectivity Curve for that Injection Well. A correction will be made to account for interference between the Injection Xxxxx when they are operating simultaneously; and |
(viii) |
the Senior Lenders’ Reserve Consultant will independently make corrections to the observed capacities of the Production Xxxxx and Injection Xxxxx to estimate the well capacities relative to the Resource Completion Target; |
(ix) |
if any Xxxxx will be closed during the Operational Completion Test Period, the Senior Lenders’ Reserve Consultant shall be satisfied with the capacity of such Xxxxx and that the closure of such Xxxxx will not materially impact the confirmations given by the Senior Lenders’ Reserve Consultant in the Operational Completion Confirmation. |
(d) |
