Mandatory Procedures The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this Article, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement. If either party fails to observe the procedures of this Article, as may be modified by their written agreement, the other party may bring an action for specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Application of Mandatory Prepayments (a) Subject to paragraph (b), prepayments made pursuant to this Clause 10 (Mandatory Prepayment) or Clause 25.21 (Notes Purchases) shall be applied in the following order: (i) first, in cancellation of the Available Commitments (and the Available Commitment of the Lenders will be cancelled rateably) (such cancellation shall be deemed to be a prepayment even though no cash is paid by the Borrower to the Lenders); (ii) secondly, in permanent prepayment and cancellation of Utilisations and cancellation of Commitments; and (iii) thirdly, in repayment and cancellation of the Ancillary Outstandings and Ancillary Commitments. (b) Unless the Company makes an election under paragraph (c) below, the Borrowers shall make prepayments and cancellations under this Clause 10 or Clause 25.21 (Notes Purchases) at the following times: (i) in the case of Net Cash Proceeds (if any) required to be applied pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Disposals), within 364 days following receipt of those Net Cash Proceeds; and (ii) in the case of amounts required to be prepaid pursuant to Clause 25.21 (Notes Purchases), on or prior to the date of completion of the Notes Purchase in relation to which such prepayment is required. (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, the Company may elect, by no less than two (2) Business Days’ notice in writing to the Agent (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree), that any prepayment of a Utilisation due under Clause 25.21 (Notes Purchases), to the extent it will be applied under any sub-clause other than sub-clause “first” of Clause 10.4(a) (Application of mandatory prepayments), may be made on the last day of the Interest Period relating to that Utilisation. If the Company makes that election then an amount of the Utilisation equal to the amount of the relevant prepayment shall be due and payable on the last day of its Interest Period. (d) If the Company has made an election under paragraph (c) above but an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that election shall no longer apply and a proportion of the Utilisation in respect of which the election was made equal to the amount of the relevant prepayment shall be immediately due and payable (unless the Majority Lenders otherwise agree). (e) Subject to paragraphs (f) to (h) below, if monies are required to be applied in prepayment or repayment of Utilisations under Clause 10 (Mandatory Prepayment) but, in order to be so applied, need to be upstreamed or otherwise transferred from one member of the Group to another member of the Group to effect that payment, no amounts shall be payable under that Clause: (i) to the extent that the upstreaming or transfer of funds to make the relevant payment: (A) is prohibited by the local law of the jurisdiction from which the upstreaming (or other transfer) is to be made or the local law of the jurisdiction to which the upstreaming (or other transfer) should be made (in each case including, without limitation, any corporate benefit, capital maintenance, general legal or statutory limitations, financial assistance, fraudulent preference or laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions)); (B) would result in a risk to the officers or directors of the relevant member of the Group of contravention of their fiduciary or officers’ or directors’ duties and/or of civil or criminal liability; or (ii) in circumstances where the Taxes or other costs to the Group of the upstreaming (or other transfer) of funds to make the relevant payment is equal to or exceeds five per cent of the amount to be upstreamed or transferred. (f) Each Obligor shall (and the Company shall procure that each relevant member of the Group will) use all commercially reasonable endeavours to overcome any restrictions (including without limitation by seeking to upstream or otherwise transfer the relevant monies to one or more other members of the Group) and/or minimise any Taxes or other costs of any upstreaming (or other transfer). If at any time those restrictions are removed or (as the case may be) those Taxes or costs are reduced, the Company must procure that an amount equal to the relevant proceeds will be applied in prepayment of the Facility in accordance with this Agreement at the end of the next Interest Period. (g) If cash required for making such prepayment is available to any other member of the Restricted Group and such cash is not projected to be required by any member of the Restricted Group during the next 12 Months (“Free Cash”) and sub-paragraphs (e)(i) and (ii) above would not apply to any prepayment made using Free Cash, any such other members of the Restricted Group shall (to the extent it is able to do so without breaching any legal restriction applicable to it (including, without limitation, any financial assistance prohibition), having used all commercially reasonable endeavours to overcome any such restriction), apply the amount of Free Cash towards any applicable prepayment (or, as applicable, towards upstreaming (or otherwise transferring) such Free Cash to a Borrower to enable it to make that prepayment). (h) The obligation to make a mandatory prepayment under Clause 10.1 (Exit) shall not be subject to any limitation set out under paragraph (e) above.
