On each
Interest Payment Date (as defined below), the Lender shall advance to the
Borrower an amount equal to the total interest payment due on such Interest
Payment Date. Subject to Clause 1.1(c), the Parties acknowledge and
agree that, from any advance made pursuant to this Clause 1.1(b) on an Interest
Payment Date, the Lender shall be entitled to set-off the amount due to the
Lender from the Borrower pursuant to Clause 1.3(c), and such set-off shall be
effected by the Lender without the obligation to remit any proceeds to the
Borrower.
To the
extent that the Borrower is obliged, pursuant to Indonesian tax laws, to
withhold any amount from the payment of any interest due pursuant to Clause 1.3,
then:
that
portion of the advance made pursuant to Clause 1.1(b) in an amount equal to such
withholding tax liability of the Borrower shall not be set-off in the manner
provided for in Clause 1.1(b) but shall instead be paid by the Lender to the
Borrower's account as specified in Clause 1.1(a) on the applicable Interest
Payment Date to which the advance relates;
the
Borrower shall immediately remit the amount advanced by the Lender as referred
to in Clause 1.1(c)(i) to the Indonesian tax authorities, and within fourteen
days after the relevant Interest Payment Date, provide to the Lender the
relevant withholding tax receipt issued by the Indonesian tax authorities in
respect of the amount referred to in Clause 1.1(c)(i).
Repayment
The
Borrower shall repay the Loan in one lump sum on the date which no later than
five business days (in Jakarta) after the first of the following events occurs
(such due date of repayment being the "Final Repayment
Date"):
|
(a)
|
the
date on which the total funding raised by the Guarantor (whether through
any form of equity, loan capital or debt raising) since the date of this
Agreement exceeds in aggregate an amount of US$4,000,000;
or
|
|
(b)
|
the
date on which the Guarantor, the Borrower or PT Kubar Resources sells,
transfers or assigns all or part of its interest (directly or indirectly
and whether by way of share sale, sale of an economic interest or any
other means) in any Indonesian mining projects in which the Guarantor,
Xxxxxxxx and/or KR has, directly or indirectly, any
interest.
|
|
Interest
|
Interest
shall be payable by the Borrower on the Loan in relation to each Interest Period
at the rate of 5% per annum (subject to adjustment in accordance with Clause
1.3(d)), payable annually in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date. For the purposes of this Agreement:
"Interest Period" means each
period beginning on the date on which the first drawdown under Clause 1.1(a) is
made or (if already made) on an Interest Payment Date and ending on and
including the day immediately preceding the next Interest Payment
Date:
in the
case of the first Interest Period, the interest period shall end on the day
immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date;
in the
case of the last Interest Period, the interest period shall end on the Final
Repayment Date.
"Interest Payment Date" means
each of the following dates:
each
anniversary of the date of the first drawdown made under Clause 1.1(a);
and
the Final
Repayment Date.
Interest
shall accrue from day to day and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed and a 360 day year, including the first day of the period
during which it accrues but excluding the last. Interest shall be
paid on the Loan on the last day of each Interest Period.
The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the repayment of any interest due by the
Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this Clause 1.3 on any Interest Payment Date
shall be deemed satisfied pursuant to the set off arrangements referred to in
Clause 1.1(b).
The
Lender and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that upon the total aggregate
amount of interest paid by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 1.3(a) reaching
US$134,325, the interest rate that shall be applicable to the outstanding
balance of the Loan from that time onwards shall be such interest rate as may be
agreed between the Lender and the Borrower, and pending or failing such
agreement, such interest rate shall be deemed to be zero.
Payments
All
payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in United States dollars in
same day funds by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the due date to the Lender's
account with:
Account
Name:

No:

Bank:

Address:
Bank SWIFT:
or to
such other bank account as the Lender may from time to time
specify.
No
Deduction
Subject
to Clause 1.5(b), all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be
made in full without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding for
or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, charges or fees of any
kind. Subject to Clause 1.5(b), if the Borrower is compelled by law
to make any such deduction or withholding, the Borrower will promptly pay to the
Lender such additional amounts as will result in the net amount received by the
Lender being equal to the full amount which it would have received if there had
been no such deduction or withholding.
Despite
clause 1.5(a), where Indonesian tax laws and regulations require the Borrower to
deduct withholding tax from any interest payments due to the Lender pursuant to
this Agreement, the Borrower shall be entitled to so withhold the relevant
amount and remit the same to the Indonesian taxation authorities. The
Borrower shall obtain a receipt from the Indonesian taxation authorities in
respect of the amount so remitted, and provide the original of such receipt to
the Lender.
