(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), no Sharing Finance Party shall be obliged to share any Discharged Amount which it receives or recovers pursuant to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under the Finance Documents with any other Finance Party which had a legal right to, but declined to, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights, unless the proceedings instituted by the Sharing Finance Party are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such other Finance Party and without an opportunity having been given to such other Finance Party to join in such proceedings. (c) If any Discharged Amount subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded to the Borrower by a Sharing Finance Party which has paid an amount equal to that Discharged Amount to the Facility Agent under paragraph (a), each Finance Party to which any part of that amount was distributed shall, on request from the Sharing Finance Party, repay to the Sharing Finance Party that Finance Party’s proportionate share of the amount which has to be so refunded by the Sharing Finance Party. (d) Each Finance Party shall on request supply to the Facility Agent such information as the Facility Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of this Clause 24.3.
