		(viii)	"guarantee" means (other than in Clause 13 (Guarantee)) any guarantee, letter of credit, bond, indemnity or similar assurance against loss, or any obligation, direct or indirect, actual or contingent, to purchase or assume any indebtedness of any person or to make an investment in or loan to any person or to purchase assets of any person where, in each case, such obligation (including any indemnity) is assumed in order to maintain or assist the ability of such person to meet its indebtedness;

		(xii)	a provision of law is a reference to that provision as amended or re-enacted; the singular includes the plural and vice versa; and

		(xiii)	a time of day is a reference to London time, unless expressly provided otherwise.


		(b)	Section, Clause and Schedule headings are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

		(d)	Unless a contrary indication appears, a term used in any other Transaction Document or in any notice given under or in connection with any Transaction Document has the same meaning in that Transaction Document or notice as in this Agreement.

		(e)	A Default (other than an Event of Default) is "continuing" if it has not been remedied or waived in writing and an Event of Default is "continuing" if it has not been waived in writing.


	1.3.	Third party rights

The Buyer may release any Seller from this Agreement and compound with or otherwise vary or agree to vary the liability of, or to grant time or indulgence to or make other arrangements with any one or more of them or any other person without prejudicing or affecting the Buyer's rights against the other Sellers.
	1.5.	Obligors' Agent

		(a)	Each Obligor (other than GeoPark SAS) by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably appoints GeoPark SAS (acting through one or more authorised signatories) to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Transaction Documents and irrevocably authorises:

		(i)	GeoPark SAS on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Buyer and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Seller, Utilisation Requests), to execute on its behalf any other agreement or deed, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations in each case, however fundamental, capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and

		(ii)	the Buyer to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Transaction Documents to GeoPark SAS,



4

		(b)	Every act, omission, agreement, deed, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by GeoPark SAS or given to GeoPark SAS under any Transaction Document on behalf of another Obligor or in connection with any Transaction Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Transaction Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it.

	6.2.	Reimbursement 

		(a)	The Sellers shall reimburse each Reimbursement Instalment (primarily through delivery of the Commodities in accordance with the Commercial Contract, and corresponding deduction in accordance with Clause 6.1 or, if required, through a cash payment) no later than the Reimbursement Date applicable to such Reimbursement Instalment (except in relation to an amount payable pursuant to Clause 6.1(c)(ii), in which case such amounts shall be paid no later than the date specified in Clause 6.1(c)(ii)) and in any event the Outstanding Amount shall be reimbursed by the Sellers in full prior to expiry of the Due Date.

	6.4.	Effect of voluntary prepayment on scheduled reimbursements


In the event that the Seller prepays an Advance in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Voluntary prepayment), the outstanding amount of such Advance shall be contemporaneously reduced by the amount of such prepayment, and the Reimbursement Instalments for such Advance then calculated shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
	6.5.	Due Date

7.1.2         Parties agree that if the illegality for the Buyer to perform its obligations by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain the Advances does not relate to any act or omission from any Seller and or its Affiliates, the Buyer shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate the circumstances resulting in such illegality through itself or via a third party in order to attempt to maintain the Agreement in full force and effect. 
7.1.3         For the avoidance of doubt:

8

​

		(c)	agrees with the Buyer that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Buyer within two (2) Business Days on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Seller not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Transaction Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 13 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

	13.4.	Waiver of defences


The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 13 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 13 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Buyer) including:

14




		(b)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

		(c)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

		(d)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

	13.6.	Appropriations


Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Buyer (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

		(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 13.


	13.7.	Deferral of Guarantor’s rights


Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Buyer otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 13:
		(a)	to be indemnified by any Seller;


15




		(b)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Transaction Documents; 

		(c)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Buyer under the Transaction Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Transaction Documents by the Buyer;

		(d)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 13.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

		(e)	to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

		(f)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with the Buyer.


If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Buyer by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Buyer and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Buyer or as the Buyer may direct for application in accordance with Clause 6.1(d).
