	9.2

	(b)
	If paragraph (a) applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan, there shall be no LIBOR for that Loan and Clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for that Interest Period.


		
	10.2
	Market disruption 


If before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 35 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR, then Clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.

	(a)
	If this Clause 10.3 applies, the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:


		
	(i)
	the Margin; and


		
	(ii)
	the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and, in any event, before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.


		
	(b)

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


		
	(d)
	If this Clause 10.3 applies pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption) and:


		
	(i)
	the percentage rate per annum notified by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above is less than LIBOR; or


		
	(ii)
	a Lender has not notified the Facility Agent of a percentage rate per annum pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above, 


the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be LIBOR.
		
	10.4

	(iii)
	the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender by virtue of being a Treaty Lender and the Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without a Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations and satisfied the conditions under Clause 12.1(h) (Tax gross-up) below; or


		
	(iv)

	(v)
	the relevant Lender is a Reduced Rate Treaty Lender which is a Qualifying Lender by virtue of being a Financial Institution Lender and either the Financial Institution Tax Deduction:


		
	(A)
	does not apply as a result of the Tax Ruling not being obtained by the Borrower; or

	(I)
	the Tax Ruling ceasing to apply; or


		
	(II)
	a change in the Ordinance (or in any interpretation, administration, or application thereof) or in any published practice or published concession of the Israel Tax Authority, and


the Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender with a Reduced Rate Treaty Lender Tax Deduction Rate if that Lender had complied with its obligations and satisfied the conditions under Clause 12.1(j) (Tax gross-up).

Institution Lender has already complied with the condition specified in Clause 12.1(i)(ii)(B) (Tax gross-up), a Government Entity requires the provision of any such further documentation,
provided that where a Financial Institution Lender has failed to comply with the condition specified in Clause 12.1(i)(ii)(B) (Tax gross-up) or in Clause 12.1(i)(iii) within the time limit stipulated by the relevant Clause but such condition has been complied with by the Financial Institution Lender at least 30 Business Days prior to any subsequent date on which a payment is due under this Agreement to that Financial Institution Lender, then the Financial Institution Lender shall be treated as having satisfied the relevant condition in relation to such payment and any subsequent payments.

provided that where a Financial Institution Lender has failed to comply with the condition specified in Clause 12.1(j)(ii)(B) (Tax gross-up) or in Clause 12.1(i)(iii) (Tax gross-up) within the time limit stipulated by the relevant Clause but such condition has been complied with by the Financial Institution Lender at least 30 Business Days prior to any subsequent date on which a payment is due under this Agreement to that Financial Institution Lender, then the Financial Institution Lender shall be treated as having satisfied the relevant condition in relation to such payment and any subsequent payments.
		
	(k)
	Should Israel enter into a Beneficial Rate Treaty, Clause 12.1(d)(iii) (Tax gross-up) shall apply to a Financial Institution Lender which is also a Beneficial Rate Treaty Lender for the purposes of that Beneficial Rate Treaty, mutatis mutandis, as that Clause applies in respect of a Treaty Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Beneficial Rate Treaty Lender who is not a Financial Institution Lender will not be treated as a Qualifying Lender for the purposes of this Agreement. 


		
	(l)
	Nothing in this Clause 12.1 shall require any Lender to provide to the Borrower or any relevant Tax Authority, the financial statements of the Lender or of any other company affiliated with the Lender, or any other information or documents which cannot be legally obtained by the Lender.  


		
	(m)
	The Borrower agrees to use its best endeavours to obtain the Tax Ruling in the most timely and effective manner, and will immediately notify the Lenders if the Tax Ruling has not been obtained or is obtained, setting out its material terms.

	Tax Credit


If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party (acting in good faith) determines that:
		
	(a)
	a Tax Credit is attributable by that Finance Party to the amount of the Tax Payment; and

	that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

	(i)
	receipt by the Facility Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) 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; and

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

	(B)

	(I)
	the increased payment which would have  been due under this Agreement to the Existing Lender or Lender acting through it previous Facility Office as of the date of assignment, transfer or change; and


		
	(II)
	the increased payment which would be due under this Agreement on the assumption that the rate of the applicable Tax Deduction is 10 per cent.

	(aa)
	on the date it became a Lender under this Agreement, payments to that New Lender were subject to a Tax Deduction rate of 10 per cent. or lower in accordance with a Reduced Rate Treaty between Israel and the jurisdiction in which that New Lender is resident for Tax purposes; and

	a Tax Deduction rate higher than 10 per cent. is required to be made by the Borrower in respect of payments to that New Lender as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law (including the Reduced Rate Treaty between Israel and the jurisdiction in which that New Lender is resident for Tax purposes) or any published practice or published concession of the Israel Tax Authority,


and in the event of any such change, any payment that would be due to that New Lender under Clause 12.1 (Tax gross-up) shall not be subject to the restriction as set out in Clause 22.2(g)(ii)(B)(I) (Conditions of assignment or transfer) or Clause 22.2(g)(ii)(B)(II) (Conditions of assignment or transfer);
		
	(C)
	in case of an assignment or transfer to a New Lender which is a Financial Institution Lender or change by a Lender which is a Financial Institution Lender of its Facility Office (in either case, other than an assignment, transfer or change referred to in paragraphs (A) or (B)), that New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under Clause 12.1 (Tax gross-up) up to an amount that shall not exceed the increased payment which would be due to it under this Agreement on the assumption that the rate of the applicable Tax Deduction is 10 per cent.

	(D)
	in case of any assignment, transfer or change other than an assignment, transfer or change referred to in paragraphs (A) to (C), a New Lender will not be entitled to receive any payment under Clause 12.1 (Tax gross-up), irrespective of any Tax Deduction which the Borrower may be required to make in respect of payments to that New Lender.

	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, confirms that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

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 the Borrower, the Sponsor and the DSM Project 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

	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.


		
	22.4
	Procedure for transfer

	(c)
	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 the Borrower and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations);


		
	(ii)

	(d)
	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 22.5 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the Borrower or unless in accordance with Clause 22.4 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by the Borrower from the obligations owed to the Borrower by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

	(a)
	any charge, assignment, pledge or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and


		
	(b)
	any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

	(ii)
	require any payments to be made by the Borrower or Sponsor, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

	(a)
	any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period; and


		
	(b)
	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that:


		
	(i)
	when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and


		
	(ii)
	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 22.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

	In this Clause 22.9, references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.


		
	(d)
	An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 22.9 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents.

Any Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:

	(A)
	any representation, communication, notice or document (including any notice given by a Lender pursuant to Clauses 39.2(b) and 39.2(c) (Disenfranchisement of Sponsor Affiliates) believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; and

	(ii)
	assume that: 


		
	(A)
	any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Lenders or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents; and

	unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; 


		
	(C)

	as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or


		
	(B)
	to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,


as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (a)(iii)(B) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.
		
	(b)
	Each of the Agents may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that:


		
	(i)
	no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Clause 21.1 (Non-payment by the Borrower));

	any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Lenders has not been exercised.


		
	(c)
	Each Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts.

	(d)
	Each Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts (whether obtained by an Agent or by any other Party) and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying.

	(ii)
	be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for, any loss incurred by reason of misconduct, omission or default on the part of any such person,


unless such error or such loss was directly caused by an Agent's, Receiver's or Delegate's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
		
	(f)
	Unless a Finance Document expressly provides otherwise, each Agent may disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has received as Agent under this Agreement.

	None of the Agents shall be bound to enquire:


		
	(i)
	whether or not any Default has occurred;

	(A)
	all the Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter requires the consent of all the Lenders; and


		
	(B)
	in all other cases, the Majority Lenders; and


		
	(ii)
	not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from taking any action) in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) above.




[***] Commercial or financial terms omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. 240.24b-2.                                                                            162
    






		
	(b)
	Each Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and such Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.


		
	(c)
	Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to an Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Finance Party and will be binding on all the Finance Parties other than the Security Trustee which will act in accordance with Clause 25.2 (Security Trustee's Instructions).


		
	(d)
	Each Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders until it has received any indemnification and/or security as it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent that that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability (together with any associated VAT) which it may incur in complying with those instructions.


		
	(e)
	In the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders (including when taking any decision under Clause 37.2(b) (Exceptions)), each Agent may act (or refrain from taking action) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders.


		
	(f)
	The Facility Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Finance Party (without first obtaining that Finance Party’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document. This paragraph (f) shall not apply to any legal or arbitration proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation or protection of rights under the Security Documents or enforcement of the Security or the Security Documents.


		
	(g)
	Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Facility Agent is not obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.


		
	(h)
	Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Facility Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties,

obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or Security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
		
	24.8
	Responsibility for documentation


Neither of the Agents (including any Receiver, Delegate, separate security agent or co-agent appointed by the Security Trustee in accordance with the Finance Documents) is responsible or liable for:
		
	(a)
	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Facility Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the Borrower or any other person given in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; or


		
	(b)
	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of or in connection with any Finance Document.


		
	24.9
	Exclusion of liability


		
	(a)
	Without limiting paragraph (b) below (and without prejudice to any other provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of an Agent, any Receiver or Delegate), no Agent, Receiver or any Delegate will be liable for: 


		
	(i)
	any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value, or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of taking or not taking any action under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Security created under the Security Documents, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or


		
	(ii)
	exercising or not exercising, any right, power, authority or discretion given to it by, or in connection with, any Finance Document, the Security created under the Security Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with, any Finance Document or the Security created pursuant to the Security Documents.


		
	(b)
	No Party (other than the relevant Agent, Receiver or Delegate) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of an Agent, a

Receiver or a Delegate in respect of any claim it might have against an Agent, a Receiver or a Delegate or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document and any officer, employee or agent of an Agent, a Receiver or a Delegate may rely on this Clause 24 as envisaged by Clause 1.3 (Third Party Rights).
		
	(c)
	The restriction against taking proceedings set out in paragraph (b) above shall not be construed as a waiver of any claim against such Agent, Receiver or Delegate as applicable, itself based on the conduct of such officer, employee or agent or of any right to take such proceedings solely to comply with any procedural requirement in order to pursue the relevant claim against such Agent, Receiver or Delegate as applicable (and provided no further action is taken or liability asserted against the individual concerned).


		
	(d)
	Any liability of an Agent, any Receiver or a Delegate arising under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of actual loss suffered (such loss shall be determined as at the date of default of such Agent, Receiver or Delegate or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to such Agent, Receiver or Delegate at the time of entering into this Agreement, or at the time of accepting any relevant instructions, which increase the amount of the loss. In no event shall an Agent, any Receiver or Delegate be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not such Agent, Receiver or Delegate has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages. This paragraph (d) shall not apply in relation to the Security Trustee in the event that a court with jurisdiction determines that the Security Trustee has acted fraudulently or in breach of trust.


		
	(e)
	No Agent, Receiver or Delegate will be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by an Agent, Receiver or Delegate if that Agent, Receiver or Delegate has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by that Agent, Receiver or Delegate for that purpose.


		
	(f)
	Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (a) above, the liability of an Agent, Receiver or Delegate under this Agreement will not extend to any liabilities arising through any acts, events or circumstances not reasonably within its control, or resulting from the general risks of

	(g)
	Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige any Agent to carry out:


		
	(i)
	any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person; or


		
	(ii)
	any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Finance Party or any Affiliate of a Finance Party,


on behalf of any Finance Party and each Finance Party confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agents.
		
	(h)
	Neither Agent shall be obliged to supervise any agent, receiver, custodian, nominee, separate security agent or co-security agent appointed in accordance with the Finance Documents or be in any way responsible or liable for any cost, expense, loss or liability incurred by reason of any act, omission, misconduct or default on the part of any such person appointed by it in connection with the Finance Document.


		
	(i)
	No Agent will be liable for any determination as to whether any information provided or to be provided to any Finance Party is non-public information the use of which may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and market abuse.


		
	(j)
	Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of an Agent, any Receiver or Delegate, any liability of an Agent, any Receiver or Delegate arising under any Finance Document or the Security created pursuant to the Security Documents shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (such loss shall be determined by reference to the date of default of such Agent, Receiver or Delegate 




[***] Commercial or financial terms omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. 240.24b-2.                                                                            166

In no event shall an Agent, any Receiver or Delegate be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not such Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.
		
	24.10
	Lenders’ indemnity to the Agents


		
	(a)
	Each Lender (other than an Agent) shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify each Agent within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by such Agent (otherwise than by reason of such Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as an Agent under the Finance Documents (unless such Agent has been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to a Finance Document). This Clause 24.10 shall also apply in respect of any cost, loss or liability incurred by a Receiver, Delegate, custodian or nominee appointed in accordance with the Finance Documents.


		
	(b)
	This Clause 24.10 shall survive the resignation or removal of an Agent, but only in respect of liabilities accrued and costs incurred prior to such resignation or removal and the Final Discharge Date and the termination of the other Finance Documents.


		
	(c)
	The obligations of each Lender under this Clause 24.10 are several, and not joint and several, and are separate and independent from the rights and obligations of each other Lender. Failure by a Lender to carry out its obligations under this Clause 24.10 shall not relieve any other Lender of any of its obligations under this Clause 24.10. If a Lender fails to carry out its obligations, the relevant Agent will have rights solely against that Lender. No Lender shall have any liability in respect of any deficiency in the aggregate amount of the indemnity received or receivable by the relevant Agent under paragraph (a) above to the extent such deficiency arises otherwise than as a consequence of failure by that Lender to perform its own several and independent obligations under this Clause 24.10.


		
	(d)
	The Borrower must, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender for any amount paid by that Lender in accordance with this Clause 24.10.

	24.11
	Resignation of an Agent


		
	(a)
	Any of the Agents may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor (provided such successor has a rating for its long term unsecured and non-credit enhanced debt obligations of A- or higher by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or A3 or higher by Moody’s) by giving notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower.


		
	(b)
	Alternatively any of the Agents may resign by giving 30 days’ notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor Agent.


		
	(c)
	If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor Agent.

	(f)

Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.


		
	(g)
	The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

	(iii)
	the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date,


and, in each case, the Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Borrower or that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign.
		
	(h)
	The Security Trustee shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Security Trustee pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents, either:


		
	(i)

	if in any applicable jurisdiction it becomes unlawful (including as a result of Sanctions) for the Security Trustee to perform any of its obligations as contemplated in this Agreement; or


		
	(ii)
	in the circumstances set out in paragraph (h) above, 


the Security Trustee may not resign or be replaced under this Clause 24.11 in the event that such resignation or replacement is reasonably likely (in the opinion of legal counsel to the Lenders) to jeopardise the enforceability of any Security granted to it under the Security Documents.
		
	24.12
	Replacement of an Agent


		
	(a)
	After consultation with the Borrower, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days’ notice to the relevant Agent (or, at any time an Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders) replace that Agent by appointing a successor Agent (provided such successor has a rating for its long term unsecured and non-credit enhanced debt obligations of A- or higher by Standard & Poor’s of Fitch or A3 or higher by Moody’s).

	In the event an Agent ceases to be a Lender, the Majority Lenders may after consultation with the Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter replace the relevant Agent by appointing a successor Agent.


		
	(c)
	The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the Finance Parties) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three 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 31.6 (Partial payments).

	30.5
	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, then:
		
	(a)
	each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the 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) (the Redistributed Amount); and


		
	(b)
	as between the Borrower and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.


The Facility Agent shall not be obliged to pay any Redistributed Amount to a Recovering Finance Party under paragraph (a) above until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that Redistributed Amount from the relevant Sharing Finance Party.
		
	30.6
	Exceptions

(the Sponsor), Delek Drilling Limited Partnership and Ratio Oil Exploration (1992) Limited Partnership and the [●] (the Purchaser) as amended. Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the GSPA.
To secure the payment of financing being raised by the Sponsor pursuant to a facility agreement (the Facility Agreement) between, among others, [●] as borrower (a special purpose financing entity owned by the Sponsor), [●] as facility agent (the Facility Agent) and [●] as Security Trustee (the Security Trustee), the Sponsor has pledged to the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the lenders under the Facility Agreement (the Lenders), all of its present rights, titles and interests in and to the GSPA, including (without limitation) its right to receive payment under the GSPA and its rights and interest in [the Sellers’ Interests the Seller’s Percentage of the Seller’s Agreements and/or its interests in the Sellers’ Facilities]* (in each case, the Secured Interests).
It is agreed as follows:
		
	1.
	CONSENT AND AGREEMENT. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges notice of, and consents to, the Sponsor’s pledge of the Secured Interests to the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Lenders. The Purchaser acknowledges that, notwithstanding the terms of Article [●] of the GSPA, upon enforcement of the pledge, the Secured Interests of the Sponsor may be transferred by the Sponsor, the Security Trustee, any designee of the Security Trustee, any receiver appointed pursuant to the instrument creating such pledge or any other person enforcing the pledge or having control over such Secured Interests to any purchaser of such Secured Interests which meets the requirements of Article [●] of the GSPA and which has been approved by the Petroleum Commissioner (as defined in the Petroleum Law) as a transferee of the Sponsor’s rights, titles and interests in respect of [the Sellers’ Petroleum Rights]**. The Purchaser confirms that (a) it has not received notice of any other pledge of the Secured Interests, (b) the GSPA is in full force and effect and has not been amended or varied as of the date hereof, and (c) the Purchaser is not aware of any outstanding breaches or defaults by any party under the GSPA.

[***] Commercial or financial terms omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. 240.24b-2.                                                                            250

	3.
	RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT; CURE PERIOD.  If any Seller defaults under the GSPA, and such default would enable the Purchaser to suspend its performance under or to terminate the GSPA, the Purchaser shall deliver simultaneously to the Security Trustee any notice with respect to such default that it delivers to the Sponsor (or its designee under the GSPA) (a Default Notice). Such Default Notice shall specify all amounts due and payable by the relevant Seller(s) to the Purchaser under the GSPA which remain unpaid and all other breaches or defaults under the GSPA and details of the steps which the Purchaser reasonably considers are required to remedy them. Following receipt of such Default Notice, the Security Trustee (or its designee) shall have the right, in its sole discretion, within the cure periods provided in the GSPA in relation to the relevant default and an additional period of 60 days (such aggregate period being the Lenders’ Cure Period), to pay all sums due or otherwise perform such other steps as may be specified in the Default Notice to cure the Seller(s)’ default. Any such payment or performance by the Security Trustee (or its designee) to cure such default shall be in accordance with the terms of the GSPA. The Purchaser shall accept such performance by the Security Trustee or its designee under the GSPA, provided that it is made within the Lenders’ Cure Period, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Sponsor and/or the relevant Seller(s), as the case may be, under the GSPA. The Purchaser shall not be liable for failing to send to the Security Trustee a Default Notice as required above, provided that the Purchaser will not suspend performance under and the GSPA shall not terminate unless the Security Trustee has received such Default Notice and the Security Trustee has been given the Lenders’ Cure Period to cure the default in accordance with the terms of the Default Notice. If on expiry of the Lenders’ Cure Period the defaults specified in the relevant Default Notice have not been cured in accordance with the terms thereof, the Purchaser shall be entitled to suspend performance under, or the GSPA shall terminate, in accordance with the terms of such Default Notice.


The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Security Trustee nor its designee shall have any liability or obligation under the GSPA as a result of this
