PAYMENTS UNDER THE CONTRACT. (a) The Borrower and the Security Trustee authorise and instruct the Manager, and the Manager irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to pay all amounts payable by it under the Contract without any offsets, recoupment, abatement, withholding or defence, to the credit of the account specified in Schedule 1 or to such other account as may be specified by notice in writing from time to time by the Security Trustee to the Manager (such notice, a “New Account Notice”). The Manager agrees that its payment obligations under the Contract shall not be discharged by payment in another form or to any other account or Person. (b) The Security Trustee agrees with the Borrower that it shall issue a New Account Notice to the Manager only if an event of default under the Project Facilities Agreement is continuing. (c) Notwithstanding Clause 3(b), the Parties agree that upon receipt by the Manager of a New Account Notice, the Manager shall not be put on enquiry as to whether an event of default under the Project Facilities Agreement is continuing and the Manager shall be entitled to treat the receipt of such New Account Notice as conclusive evidence of the Security Trustee’s right to issue such notice.
