10.1 Break Costs

The Borrower shall reimburse to each Lender, upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in relation to any repayment or prepayment of the Loan (or any part thereof), other than on an Interest Payment Date, whether by voluntary prepayment or by acceleration, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Clauses 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment), Clause 7.5 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender) and Clause 22 (Events of Default)) but excluding any repayment made under Clause 6 (Repayment) or any prepayment under Clauses 7.1 (Illegality), Clause 7.4 (Mandatory prepayment) or Clause 14 (Increased Costs) for its losses, costs and expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or reemploying deposits from third parties in respect of funds borrowed, contracted for or utilized to fund the amount so repaid or paid, arising directly from such payment by the Borrower, provided that such demand of the Lender shall be supported by a statement certifying in reasonable detail the amount of such costs or expenses, which statement shall constitute evidence thereof and shall be conclusive and binding save for manifest error proved by the Borrower.

The rate differentials will be applied to the amount of the corresponding prepaid Loan on the period from the date of its prepayment until the original Repayment Date(s). The net present value of each corresponding amount resulting from above calculation will be determined at the corresponding prevailing market yield. In case the cumulated amount of such present values is negative, no indemnity payment shall be due to the Borrower.

13.1 Definitions

(a) In this Clause 13:

“Protected Party” means a Finance Party which is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or on account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document.

(b) The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower.

(c) Subject to paragraph (e) below, if the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(d) Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory (which may include if available, without limitation, an original receipt (or certified copy thereof)) to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid in accordance with law or regulation to the relevant taxing authority.

(e) In the event there is a Tax Deduction required by the Indonesian tax authorities, the Lenders shall use reasonable endeavours to offset the Tax Deduction with a tax credit, subject to the availability of the tax credit under the Indonesia-France tax treaty. The Lenders’ obligation to apply for a tax credit for the cost of such Tax Deduction is subject to (i) the Lenders’ ability to continue to be entitled to receive the appropriate tax credit in an amount up to the amount of the Tax Deduction required by the Indonesian government and/or Indonesian tax authorities on interest payments, and (ii) the extent to which the Lenders’ taxable income is sufficient for them to realise the benefit of the relevant tax credit. In the event of any change in the Indonesia-French

29

tax treaty or French law (including any amendment or change in an official, administrative or judicial interpretation, pronouncement or application of, or practice under, such treaty or law, or any change in the published practice of any tax authority) that removes in whole or in part the entitlement to a tax credit available to the Lenders, or, if for any other reason, the Lenders do not receive the net amount of interest due to it as a result of a withholding required by the Indonesian government and/or Indonesian tax authorities, applicable payments of interest made by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be increased by an amount which (after making any withholding required by the Indonesian government and/or Indonesian tax authorities) leaves a net amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no such withholding had been required.

13.3 Tax indemnity

Without affecting the responsibility of the Borrower for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Facility Agent, the Security Agent and the Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

58

(d) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, Security, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.

If any Party owes an amount to the Facility Agent or the Security Agent under the Finance Documents the Facility Agent or the Security Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Facility Agent or the Security Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

25.18  Security Agency provisions

The provisions of Schedule 6 (Security Agency Provisions) shall bind each Party.

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) 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 28.5 (Partial payments).

27.2 Redistribution of payments

(b) A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(i) it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii) that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.
