For any proposed utilisation no more than RMB 10,000,000, the Borrower may in its sole and absolute discretion make payment of such Loan proceeds to the relevant third party

1602149 11 Facility Agreement

payee by means of "self payment". In case of self payment, the relevant supporting documents (copies of invoices, contracts and/or evidence that the Loan proceeds so requested by the Borrower have been transferred to the relevant payee(s)) for each utilisation shall be provided to the Facility Agent before the 20th day of each month falling between the Utilisation Date and the relevant Repayment Date. The Facility Agent shall send a copy of such supporting documents to the Lenders within five (5) Business Days of receiving the supporting documents from the Borrower.

5.6 Entrusted Payment

(a) For any proposed utilisation amount exceeding RMB 10,000,000 (inclusive), such Loan shall be advanced by means of “entrusted payment”. The Facility Agent shall, upon the payment instruction and the particulars described in paragraph (b) of this Clause 5.6 below given by the Borrower, directly transfer the amount of the Loan to the relevant payee(s) on the date such amount is deposited into the Loan Account pursuant to paragraph (b) of Clause 5.4 (Lenders’ Participation) above. If the payee(s) or the payee(s) account number (s) given by the Borrower in its payment instruction are inconsistent with that in the particulars submitted by them in accordance with Clause 5.6(b)(i) below, the Facility Agent has the right to refuse such payment until such inconsistency has been resolved to the Facility Agent’s reasonable satisfaction.

(b) The Borrower shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. on the day at least five (5) Business Days before the Utilization Date, submit to the Facility Agent the following additional documents for the purpose of such “entrusted payment” together with the Utilisation Request:

(i) the particulars of the purpose of such utilisation and relevant supporting documents (including but not limited to payee name, payee account number, payment amount, purpose, contract number (if any), photocopy of the contract (if any), purchase order (if any), and invoice (if any)), subject to any applicable confidentiality obligations;

(ii) payment instruction; and

(iii) other materials as reasonably requested by the Facility Agent.

In respect of item (i) above, any such contract, purchase order or invoice shall specify the name of the counterparty, payment amount (which shall be no less than the proposed drawdown amount) and name of goods (if applicable). In respect of item (ii), such payment instruction shall indicate the name of the payee which is consistent with the name of the counterparty as set out in the applicable contract, purchase order or invoice in item (i). The Facility Agent shall, (x) within one (1) Business Day after receiving the Utilisation Request, provide the Utilisation Request to the Lenders; (y) at least two (2) Business Days before the Utilisation Date but in any event promptly after reviewing the documents required above, confirm at its reasonable discretion whether such disbursement of the Loan proceeds is consistent with the loan purpose of the Facility and notify the Lenders of the same; and (z) within five (5) Business Days after the Utilization Date, provide email confirmation to the Lenders that the Loan proceeds so requested by the Borrower have been transferred to the relevant payee(s).

(c) If any amount transferred by the Facility Agent directly to the relevant payee pursuant to paragraph (a) above is refunded to the Loan Account due to incompleteness or incorrectness of such payment information filled in by the Borrower or for any other reason, the Facility Agent shall have the right not to credit such refund in the interim, or freeze such refund that has been credited into

1602149 12 Facility Agreement

the Loan Account, until the Borrower re-submits the correct payment instruction.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case can the funds in the Loan Account be paid into any other account opened by the Borrower with the Facility Agent or any other financial institution. In case of any Event of Default, the Facility Agent shall have the right to refuse and/or stop any withdrawal by the Borrower of funds in the Loan Account.

(e) The Lenders hereby agree that the Facility Agent may use its reasonable commercial efforts to act on behalf of the Lenders to examine all supporting documents provided by the Borrower and make judgement whether to grant drawdown under this Clause 5.6. The Borrower shall bear any and all responsibilities to the authenticity, validity and consistency of its submitted documents, and the Facility Agent shall take no legal liabilities whatsoever with respect thereto. The Facility Agent will not be liable for any action taken by it or omitting to take action in performing its duties and obligations in its capacity as facility agent under or in connection with this Clause 5.6, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

5.7 Rollover

(a) In this Clause 5.7,

“Due Amount” means the amount by which the Repayment Amount exceeds the Rollover Amount.

“Repayment Amount” means the amount of Repayment of Rollover.

“Rollover Amount” means the amount of Drawdown of Rollover.

and in case this Clause 5.7 provides any more specific requirements on the supporting documents than that set out in Clause 5.5 (Self Payment) and 5.6 (Entrusted Payment), the requirements under this Clause 5.7 shall prevail.

(b) Subject to this Clause 5.7, on the Repayment Date on which the Borrower shall repay a Loan (“Repayment of Rollover”), the Borrower may request to roll over such Loan or any part of such Loan (“Drawdown of Rollover”) by delivery to the Facility Agent of a duly completed Rollover Request within the Availability Period.

(c) In the event of Drawdown of Rollover, the amount to be repaid by the Borrower on the Repayment Date shall be equivalent to the Due Amount. The portion of the Repayment Amount in an amount equivalent to the Rollover Amount will be deemed to be repaid on such Repayment Date using an equivalent amount of the proceeds of a new Loan.

(d) The Borrower shall, at least five (5) Business Days before the Utilization Date of Drawdown of Rollover, submit to the Facility Agent and also affix its company chop on the evidence of the actual use of Loan and relevant supporting documents under such Rollover Request, subject to any applicable confidentiality obligations and including but not limited to: payee name, payees’ account numbers, payment amount, payment date (taking no consideration of the Drawdown of Rollover, which shall be within the period from the original Utilisation Date of a Loan to its original Repayment Date), purpose, contract number (if any), a photocopy of the contract (if any) or purchase order (if any) or invoice (if any), (and the date of such contract, purchase order or invoice shall fall within six (6) months prior to the date of payment evidence below) and certifying materials of payment evidence (the amount of each such payment shall not exceed the total amount the Borrower is

1602149 13 Facility Agreement

obliged to pay under the corresponding contract or invoice and the sum of such payments shall be no less than the Rollover Amount). At least two (2) Business Days before the Utilisation Date but in any event promptly after reviewing the evidence required above, the Facility Agent shall confirm in its reasonable discretion whether such disbursement of the Loan proceeds is consistent with the loan purpose of the Facility whether to grant such Drawdown of Rollover.

(e) The Lenders hereby agree that the Facility Agent may use its reasonable commercial efforts to act on behalf of the Lenders to examine all supporting documents provided by the Borrower and make judgement whether to grant Drawdown of Rollover under this Clause 5.7. The Borrower shall bear any and all responsibilities to the authenticity, validity and consistency of its submitted documents, and the Facility Agent shall take no legal liabilities whatsoever with respect thereto. The Facility Agent will not be liable for any action taken by it or omitting to take action in performing its duties and obligations in its capacity as facility agent under or in connection with this Clause 5.7, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(f) If it is provided by any applicable laws and regulations or otherwise required by any competent governmental agency or authority that the Lenders are not allowed to grant such Drawdown of Rollover, the Borrower will not be entitled to such Drawdown of Rollover or to request any Drawdown of Rollover.

1602149 16 Facility Agreement

on the Interest Rate Determination Date.

8.2 Interest Period

In relation to any Loan, the first Interest Period for such Loan shall be the period from the Utilisation Date (inclusive) of such Loan to the first Interest Payment Date (exclusive) immediately following such Utilisation Date, and any subsequent Interest Period for such Loan shall be the period from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (inclusive) to the immediately following Interest Payment Date (exclusive).

8.3 Calculation of Interest

The interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days.

8.4 Payment on Interest Payment Date

The accrued interest on a Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of such Loan.

8.5 Notification of Interest Payment

The Facility Agent shall, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, give to the Borrower a written notice of the interest payable by the Borrower. The Facility Agent shall, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, give to each Lender a written notice of the interest receivable by that Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 8.5 (Notification of Payment of Interest), the delay or failure of the Facility Agent to make such notification shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest.

8.6 Payment by Borrower

The Borrower shall remit the full amount of the interest then due and payable into the account designated by the Facility Agent by telegraphic transfer or bank transfer by 11:00 a.m. on each Interest Payment Date. Should the Facility Agent receive any interest payment from the Borrower by 11:00 a.m. on each Interest Payment Date, the Facility Agent shall remit full amount of the interest so payable to the Lenders by 4:00 p.m. of that Interest Payment Date on a pro rata basis.

9. Default Interest

9.1 Overdue Interest

If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement on its due date pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the default interest on that overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the interest rate which would have been applicable if there had been no such non-payment as provided for in Clause 8.1 (Interest Rate) or such applicable minimum rate of penalty interest as required by then prevailing laws of the PRC, whichever is higher. Any default interest accruing under this Clause shall be due and payable on the date notified by the Facility Agent to the Borrower and shall be paid by the Borrower on that date.

9.2 Penalty Interest against Misappropriation

In case the Borrower misappropriates any Loan, or any part thereof, for the purpose other than that listed in Clause 3.1 (Purpose), the Borrower shall, promptly upon the demand by the Facility Agent, pay the penalty interest against misappropriation to the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Lender(s) that advanced that Loan until such misappropriation is rectified. The penalty interest against misappropriation shall be calculated on the amount misappropriated for the actually appropriated days at a rate which is two hundred percent

1602149 17 Facility Agreement

(200%) of the interest rate which would have been applicable if there had been no such misappropriation as provided for in Clause 8.1 (Interest Rate) or such applicable minimum rate of penalty interest as required by then prevailing laws of the PRC, whichever is higher. In no case shall the right of a Lender to collect the penalty interest against misappropriation affect other rights of the Lender under any of the Finance Documents or the applicable laws. If both Clause 9.1 (Overdue Interest) and Clause 9.2 (Penalty Interest against Misappropriation) are applicable to a single payment, then the higher of the two penalty interest rates shall be applicable.

(b) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all the Parties.

(c) For the avoidance of any doubt, if no alternative basis is agreed upon between the Borrower and the Lenders within a period of thirty (30) days after the commencement of the negotiation, then the relevant rate last applied according to Clause 8.1 (Interest rate) shall apply to the relevant Loan(s).

Subject to this Clause 22, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

(a) assign all or any part of its rights; or

(b) transfer by novation all or any part of its rights and obligations,

under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "New Lender").

22.2 Conditions to Assignment or Transfer

The Borrower hereby agrees that a Lender may assign or transfer to a New Lender of all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents provided that (i) such transfer shall be in accordance with applicable laws and regulations of the PRC and (ii) no Obligor shall be subject to any additional liability or obligation as a result thereof. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower upon completion of such assignment or transfer.

(a) Any assignment will only be effective on 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 other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender.

(b) Any transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 22.5 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

(c) If:

(i) a Lender assigns or transfers all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender under Clause 12 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased Costs) or via the Lender acting through its new Facility Office,

then the New Lender or the Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or the Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

22.3 Assignment or Transfer Fee

(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii) the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other documents,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor 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 in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 22; or

(ii) support or bear any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Conditions to Assignment or Transfer) a transfer is effected when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate (in triplicate) delivered to the Facility Agent not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Transfer Date by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. The Facility Agent shall as soon as practical send a copy of such executed Transfer Certificate to the Borrower.

(b) On the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their

1602149 39 Facility Agreement

respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii) each of the Obligors 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 that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii) the Facility Agent, the Jointed Coordinators, the New Lender and the 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 and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Jointed Coordinators and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

26. Sharing Among the Finance Parties

26.1 Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment Mechanics) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents,

(a) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made in accordance with Clause 27.5 (Partial Payments).

26.2 Redistribution of Payments

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance

1602149 48 Facility Agreement

Party) in accordance with Clause 27.5 (Partial Payments).

26.3 Recovering Finance Party’s Rights

(a) On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 26.2 (Redistribution of Payments), the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution.

(b) If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under paragraph (a) above, the relevant Obligor shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

26.4 Reversal of Redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party,

(a) each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Redistribution of Payments) shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and

(b) that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

26.5 Exceptions

(a) This Clause 26 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(b) A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(i) it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii) that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

SECTION 10

ADMINISTRATION

27. Payment Mechanics

27.1 Payments to Facility Agent

(a) On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Facility Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) on the due date, at such time and in such funds specified by the Facility Agent as

1602149 49 Facility Agreement

being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

(b) Payment shall be made to account designated by the Facility Agent.

27.2 Distributions by Facility Agent

(a) Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 27.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 27.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with the Finance Documents (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by a not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency.

(b) The Facility Agent shall distribute payments received by it in relation to all or any part of a Loan to the Lender indicated in the Facility Agent’s records as being so entitled on that date, provided that the Facility Agent is authorised to distribute payments to be made on the date on which any transfer becomes effective pursuant to Clause 22 (Changes in Lenders) to the Lender so entitled immediately before such transfer took place regardless of the period to which such sums relate.

(c) The Borrower shall remit the full amount of fee payment then due and payable into the account designated by the Facility Agent by telegraphic transfer or bank transfer by 11:00 a.m. on each payment date provided by the Fee Letter. Should the Facility Agent receive any fee payment from the Borrower by 11:00 a.m. on each of such payment date, the Facility Agent shall remit full amount of the fee payment so payable to the Finance Parties by 4:00 p.m. of that payment date on a pro rata basis.

27.3 Distributions to an Obligor

The Facility Agent may (with the consent of the Borrower or in accordance with Clause 28 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for the Borrower in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

27.4 Clawback

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

(b) If the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually received that amount, the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

27.5 Partial Payments

(a) If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:

1602149 50 Facility Agreement

(i) firstly, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Facility Agents under the Finance Documents;

(ii) secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee (other than as provided in (i) above) or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;

(iii) thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

(iv) fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

(b) The Facility Agents shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in sub-paragraphs (ii) to (iv) of paragraphs (a) above.

(c) Paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

27.6 No Set-off by Obligors

All payments to be made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.

27.7 Business Days

(a) Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the immediately following Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the immediately preceding Business Day (if there is not).

(b) During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or the Unpaid Sum under paragraph (a) above, interest is payable on the principal or the Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.

27.8 Currency of Account

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance Document shall be the same as the currency of the Facility under which the said sum occurs and rounded off to the nearest RMB fen.

(b) Any payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred and rounded off to the nearest RMB fen if it is expressed to be payable in RMB or rounded off to the nearest USD cent if it is expressed to be payable in USD.

(c) Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than Renminbi or US Dollar shall be paid in that other currency.

27.9 Change of Currency

(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country,

(i) any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Facility Agent (after consultation with the Borrower); and

(ii) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the

1602149 51 Facility Agreement

Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

(b) If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Facility Agent specifies to be necessary (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Borrower), be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the relevant interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

28. Set-off

A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from the Borrower (or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Guarantor) under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to the Borrower (or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Guarantor), regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. The Finance Party shall, promptly upon the set-off conducted pursuant to this Clause 28 (or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Article 18 (Right of Setoff) of the Guarantee), inform the Facility Agent who shall further inform the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, of the same.
