(a) The Borrower agrees that to evidence further its obligation to repay all amounts disbursed
and to be disbursed under each Guaranteed Credit, with interest accrued thereon, it shall, (i) not
later than the Initial Utilization Date, issue and deliver to the Lender, in accordance with the
written instructions of the Lender, one (1) duly completed Guaranteed Note in respect of the
Tranche A Guaranteed Credit; and (ii) not later than the date of the initial Disbursement under the
Tranche B Guaranteed Credit, issue and deliver to the Lender, in accordance with the written
instructions of the Lender, one (1) duly completed Guaranteed Note in respect of the Tranche B
Guaranteed Credit. Each Guaranteed Note initially shall be a Floating Rate Note substantially in
the form of Annex A-1 and, following the Switch Date for the Tranche A Guaranteed Credit or the
Tranche B Guaranteed Credit, as the case may be, shall be substituted for a Fixed Rate Note
substantially in the form of Annex A-2 as provided in Section 5.06, and shall be valid and
enforceable as to its principal amount at any time only to the extent of the aggregate amount of
the outstanding Disbursements thereunder and, as to interest, only to the extent of the interest
accrued thereon. Any notations by the Lender on a Guaranteed Note regarding payments made on
account of the principal thereof, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and
binding. Following payment in full of a Guaranteed Note, the Lender shall, upon the Borrower’s
request, surrender such Guaranteed Note to the Borrower through Ex-Im Bank for cancellation.
(b) If requested by the Lender (or, if the Lender’s rights hereunder are subrogated to Ex-Im
Bank, Ex-Im Bank), within ten (10) days after the expiry of the Availability Period for each
Guaranteed Credit, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender (or Ex-Im Bank, as the case
may be) a new duly completed Guaranteed Note for such Guaranteed Credit in exchange for the
corresponding Guaranteed Note previously issued and delivered in connection with such Guaranteed
Credit in accordance with this Section 5.04, whereupon the Lender (or Ex-Im Bank, as the case may
be) shall surrender such previously issued Guaranteed Note for cancellation to the Borrower through
Ex-Im Bank.
(c) If any Guaranteed Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Borrower shall issue
and deliver to the Lender (or, if the Lender’s rights hereunder are subrogated to Ex-Im Bank, Ex-Im
Bank) a new duly completed Guaranteed Note of the same date, maturity and denomination as the
Guaranteed Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, together with an officer’s certificate of
the Borrower certifying and warranting as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such
new Guaranteed Note, and (if requested by Ex-Im Bank or the Lender in its reasonable discretion)
legal opinions of the Borrower’s special New York counsel and the Borrower’s special Singapore
counsel (in each case, at the expense of Borrower) reasonably satisfactory to Ex-Im Bank and the
Lender as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Guaranteed Note, and the
legality, validity, binding nature and enforceability thereof in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Ex-Im Bank and the Lender; provided that, in the case of a mutilated Guaranteed
Note, such mutilated Guaranteed Note shall be returned to the Borrower for its cancellation after
examination by Ex-Im Bank and cancellation of the Guarantee Legend issued solely with respect to
such mutilated Guaranteed Note, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Guaranteed Note
theretofore held by the Lender, there shall first be furnished to the Borrower and Ex-Im Bank an
instrument of
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore

indemnity from the Lender reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and Ex-Im Bank and evidence
or certification of such loss, theft or destruction reasonably satisfactory to each of them.
(d) All replacement Guaranteed Notes issued in connection with this Agreement shall be signed
by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, as named in the evidence of authority submitted pursuant
to Section 6.01(c)(iv) or otherwise acceptable to Ex-Im Bank and the Lender.
5.05 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Disbursements shall be available (and the
Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to pay for (a) the Financed Portion of
costs incurred on or after the Initial Eligibility Date for the purchase of Goods and Services, and
(b) the Exposure Fee related to such Financed Portion.
5.06 Interest Rate Switch Option.
(a) The Borrower shall have the option (the “Switch Option”) at any time after the
date of the final Disbursement under each of the Tranche A Guaranteed Credit and the Tranche B
Guaranteed Credit on only one (1) occasion with respect to a Floating Rate Note, with the consent
of the Lender, to require the Lender, the Facility Agent and Ex-Im Bank to accept a Fixed Rate Note
in substitution for the existing Floating Rate Note with respect to all of the Tranche A Guaranteed
Credit or the Tranche B Guaranteed Credit, or both, as the case may be; provided that (i) no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Switch Date, (ii) the Floating Rate Note shall
evidence an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least US$10,000,000, and (iii) on or
before the Switch Date, the Lender and Ex-Im Bank shall have received legal opinions from the
Borrower’s special New York counsel and the Borrower’s Singapore counsel (in each case, at the
expense of the Borrower) reasonably satisfactory to Ex-Im Bank and the Lender relating to the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Fixed Rate Note, and the legality, validity, binding
nature and enforceability of the Fixed Rate Note in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Ex-Im Bank and the Lender. Subject to satisfaction of the provisos and conditions set forth in
this Section 5.06, to exercise the Switch Option, the Borrower shall give the Facility Agent, the
Lender and Ex-Im Bank no less than thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice (which shall be
irrevocable), setting forth the date (which shall be an Interest Payment Date) of the proposed
interest rate switch (the “Switch Date”). The Borrower shall, at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the Switch Date, issue and deliver to the Lender (with a copy to Ex-Im Bank (to the
attention of the Operations Division)) a new Fixed Rate Note in exchange for the Floating Rate Note
previously issued and delivered in accordance with Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.02(b), as
applicable, whereupon, after the Guarantee Legend on such Floating Rate Note has been cancelled by
Ex-Im Bank and such cancelled Floating Rate Note has been returned to the Lender, the Lender shall
surrender such previously issued Floating Rate Note for cancellation to the Borrower. If the
interest rate applicable to such new Fixed Rate Note has not been determined at the time the Fixed
Rate Note is issued and delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence, the
Borrower authorizes the Lender, and the Lender agrees, to insert such interest rate in the Fixed
Rate Note promptly upon its being determined in accordance with Section 5.06(b). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the Switch Option with respect to the
Tranche A Guaranteed Credit without the prior written consent of the Lender if the Phase II Partial
Completion Date does not occur prior to the Date Certain for Phase II Partial Completion.
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
44
(b) The Lender shall, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed Switch Date
relating to a Switch Option, notify the Borrower of the proposed fixed rate to apply to the new
Fixed Rate Note applicable to such Switch Option to be issued on such Switch Date (and the manner
of calculation of the prepayment premium contemplated by Section 13.06), which shall be determined
by the Lender, unless otherwise agreed with the Borrower, on the basis of such factors as the
Lender deems relevant (including, without limitation, based on the fixed rate obtained under a swap
agreement arranged by or on behalf of the Lender with respect to interest payable on the relevant
portion of the Guaranteed Credit the subject of such Switch Option) as the fixed rate of interest
for loans of a tenor applicable to the principal amount evidenced by such Fixed Rate Note. The
Borrower shall confirm whether such fixed rate is acceptable by giving written notice to the Lender
and Ex-Im Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender by 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the date of such notice from the Lender. If the Borrower does not accept a proposed fixed rate
with respect to any requested exercise of a Switch Option on any Interest Payment Date, it shall
not be able to again request the Switch Option with respect to such Interest Payment Date, but
shall be able to request the exercise of a Switch Option with respect to any subsequent Interest
Payment Date, subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (a) above, upon following the
procedures set forth in this paragraph (b). Once a fixed rate has been accepted with respect to
either the Tranche A Guaranteed Credit or the Tranche B Guaranteed Credit, it shall not be subject
to change.
(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of Ex-Im Bank and the Lender (the “Switch
Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and
related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all the
foregoing being collectively referred to as “Switch Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against
or incurred by such Switch Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of (i) a failure of the
interest rate conversion referred to herein to occur on the scheduled applicable Switch Date,
excluding, however, applicable Switch Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting directly from
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Switch Indemnified Party, or (ii) a
failure by the Borrower to pay the prepayment premium contemplated by Section 13.06.

the Phase II Facilities infringes, violates, misappropriates or otherwise conflicts with the
intellectual property rights of any third party in any material respect.

or injunctions of any performance thereunder or of operation of the Fab 7 Plant or any part thereof
or appeal or revocation of any Government Approval that is applicable to the Phase I Project and
the Phase II Project, or (B) that reasonably allege an obligation of the Borrower in excess of
US$10,000,000 (or the Singapore Dollar Equivalent thereof), other than actions, suits, proceedings,

adversely determined) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Default or Event of Default.
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
56

agency or other Governmental Authority, other than defaults that could not reasonably be expected

schedules furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to any of the Financing Parties were
true, complete and accurate in all material respects on the date provided and were not on such date
incomplete by omitting to state any material fact required to be disclosed under any Applicable Law
or Environmental Requirement or necessary to make such information, taken as a whole, not
misleading in any material respect. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, no
document, agreement or information exists that has not been disclosed to Ex-Im Bank and the Lender
in writing that is material in the context of the Financing Documents or that has the effect of
varying any material provision of any Financing Document.

with GAAP and fairly presents the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
Borrower as of the date thereof. Except as set forth in such financial statements or disclosed to
Ex-Im Bank and the Lender in writing, there are no liabilities or obligations of any nature
whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, and whether or not due, but not
including any liabilities or obligations that would not be required to be disclosed in a financial
statement, including the footnotes thereto, pursuant to GAAP for the period to which such financial
statements relate) with respect to the Borrower that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each financial statement delivered pursuant to Sections
6.01(d) and 10.01(o), since the date of the Borrower’s most recent financial statement, no event,
condition, occurrence or circumstance has existed or exists that constitutes a Material Adverse
Effect. The Borrower does not know of any reasonable basis for the assertion against the Borrower
or the Phase I Project and the Phase II Project of any liability or obligation of any nature
whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) that is not
fully reflected in such financial statements or is an obligation set forth in or contemplated by

or assert any, right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from jurisdiction of
any court, suit, setoff, legal proceedings generally, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid
of execution or other attachment or execution of judgment under the Applicable Laws of Singapore,
the United States or any other jurisdiction in which property of the Borrower is located in
connection with any action to enforce this Agreement or any other Financing Document. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each Financing Document to which it is a
party are private and commercial acts performed for private and commercial purposes.

Ex-Im Bank and the Lender. There is no pending proceeding or, to the best of the Borrower’s
knowledge, investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority or
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
58
any non-governmental third party (other than those that are routine and ordinary in nature and that could not reasonably be
expected to adversely affect the Phase I Project or the Phase II Project in any material respect)
with respect to the presence or release of Hazardous Materials relating to the Phase I Project or
the Phase II Project.
(r) No Undisclosed Liabilities. As of the date of this Agreement, the Borrower has no
Indebtedness or other obligations or liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of any nature whatsoever
(whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due), other than (i) those
incurred under or permitted by the Financing Documents, and (ii) the Indebtedness set forth in
Schedule 9.01(r). The Borrower does not know of any reasonable basis for the assertion against the
Borrower of any material liability or material obligation of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) that is not fully reflected in
the Indebtedness set forth in Schedule 9.01(r) and the obligations incurred under or permitted by the Financing Documents. On the Initial Utilization Date and on each

and (2) the date on which written notice thereof shall have been received by the Borrower from the
Lender or Ex-Im Bank unless, if (x) any such default is not capable of being cured by the payment
of money or with diligent effort within such thirty (30)-day period, (y) such default is, in the
reasonable judgment of Ex-Im Bank, capable of being cured and the Borrower is diligently
prosecuting such cure, and (z) an extension of such period to permit a cure would not reasonably be

(C) (1) The Borrower shall be terminated or dissolved (as a matter of Applicable Law or
otherwise); or (2) proceedings shall be commenced by any Person seeking the termination or
dissolution of the Borrower and (x) such proceeding shall continue undismissed, or (y) an order,

or to suspend or terminate the Commitments, and upon termination the Commitments shall be reduced

(c) The terms of this Section 12.03 shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other
rights of Ex-Im Bank, the Lender and the Facility Agent under this Agreement or any other Financing
Document.
SECTION 13. NET PAYMENTS; COMPENSATION; BREAK FUNDING; PREPAYMENT PREMIUM
13.01 Net Payments; Etc.
(a) Any and all payments to any Financing Party by the Borrower hereunder or under any other
Financing Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed and all liabilities with respect
thereto, if any, on or in respect hereunder or under any Financing Document or any Guaranteed
Credit, the execution, registration, enforcement, notarization or other formalization of any
thereof, and any payments of principal, interest, charges, fees, commissions or other amounts made
on, under or in respect thereof, excluding taxes imposed on, or measured by the net income or
capital of, any Financing Party by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein as a result of a permanent establishment or franchise of such
Financing Party in such jurisdiction or political subdivision or the privilege of doing business
therein (unless such establishment, franchise, or privilege is solely attributable to the
enforcement of any rights hereunder or under any other Financing Document as a consequence of a
Default or Event of Default) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Covered Taxes”). The
Borrower shall pay any and all Covered Taxes for its own account prior to the date on which
penalties attach thereto. If the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or
deduct any Covered Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Financing Document to any Financing Party,
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
78
Section 13.01), such Financing Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with Applicable Law. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp,
recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies
that arise under the laws of any jurisdiction from any payment made hereunder or under any other Financing Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect
to this Agreement or any other Financing Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Financing Party for the full amount of Covered Taxes and
Other Taxes (including any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 13.01 paid by any Financing Party or any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto), whether or not such Covered
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Financing Party shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Financing Party shall give notice to the Borrower of the
assertion of any claim against such Financing Party relating to such Financing Party’s Covered
Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as possible (and in any event within ninety (90) days) after
receipt of formal written notice of such assertion; provided, however, any failure to notify the
Borrower promptly of such assertion shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation under this
Section 13.01. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of any such notice, the Borrower shall
either (i) advise such Financing Party that it intends to pay such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes
pursuant to this Section 13.01(b), in which case it shall promptly (and contemporaneously with the
delivery of such advice) pay such amounts; or (ii) provided that it presents evidence satisfactory
to the Lender that it has set aside and will maintain sufficient reserves to cover any contested
tax liability, advise such Financing Party that it intends to contest in good faith such Covered
Taxes or Other Taxes, in which case it shall promptly commence such good faith contest. Payments
by the Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after
the date such Financing Party makes written demand therefor (submitted through the Facility Agent),
which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis
thereof. If the Borrower shall have contested in good faith any such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes
and such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes are ultimately determined to be payable by such Financing
Party in a final judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Borrower shall indemnify such Financing
Party for such Covered Taxes and Other Taxes and for any other liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
(c) Within ten (10) days after the date of any payment of Covered Taxes or other Taxes by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to each affected Financing Party the original or a certified
copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof and the Borrower shall promptly furnish to each
affected Financing Party any other information, documents and receipts that such Financing Party
may from time to time reasonably require to establish to its satisfaction that full and timely
payment has been made of all Covered Taxes or Other Taxes required to be paid under this Section
13.01. The Borrower shall reimburse each such Financing Party in full for all reasonable losses
and expenses sustained by such Financing Party as a result of any failure by the Borrower to so
furnish such copy of such receipt.
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
79
13.02 Increased Costs.
(a) If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change of Law with respect to any Financing
Party or any participant in a Guaranteed Note held by the Lender:
(i) shall subject such Financing Party or participant to any Tax, duty or other charge with
respect to any Guaranteed Credit or any Commitment, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by the Borrower to such Financing Party or participant on any Guaranteed
Credit or with respect to any Commitment (except for Covered Taxes, Other Taxes or changes in taxes
imposed on, or measured by the net income or capital of, such Financing Party or participant by any
jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a
permanent establishment or franchise of such Financing Party or participant in such jurisdiction or
political subdivision or the privilege of doing business therein (unless such establishment,
franchise, or privilege is solely attributable to the enforcement of any rights hereunder or under
any other Financing Document as a consequence of a Default or Event of Default));
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance
or similar requirement (other than any such reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance or similar
requirement that is treated as a Capital Adequacy Requirement) against assets held by, deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds
by such Financing Party or participant for any Guaranteed Credit or any Commitment; or
(iii) shall impose on such Financing Party or participant any other condition affecting any
Guaranteed Credit or Commitment,
and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Financing Party or
participant of making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in or maintaining any such
Guaranteed Credit or Commitment or is to reduce any amount receivable by such Financing Party or
participant hereunder, or any payment to a Financing Party or participant calculated by reference
to the Borrower’s payments, or a Financing Party’s or participant’s effective rate of return, then
the Borrower shall, from time to time, upon written demand by such Financing Party on its own
behalf or on behalf of a participant (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate of such
party providing in reasonable detail a description of the basis and amount of such request for
compensation, which description shall in no event contain any disclosure of any matters deemed by
such party in good faith to be confidential or proprietary), pay to such Financing Party, on its
own behalf or on behalf of a participant, additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such party for
such increased costs or to compensate such Financing Party or participant for such reduced amounts.
A certificate of a Financing Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Financing Party shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Financing Party to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section 13.02 on its own behalf or on behalf of a participant shall not constitute a waiver of
such Financing Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
80
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Financing Party or participant pursuant to this Section 13.02 for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date
that such Financing Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Financing Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the two hundred seventy (270) day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
13.03 Capital Requirements. If any Financing Party or any participant determines that
(a) any Change of Law affects the Capital Adequacy Requirement required or expected to be
maintained by such Financing Party or participant (or the lending office of such Financing Party or
participant) or any Person Controlling such Financing Party or participant, and (b) the amount of
capital maintained by such Financing Party, participant or Person that is attributable to or based
upon the Guaranteed Credits, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of
such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Financing Party’s, such participant’s
or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), the Borrower shall pay to such
Financing Party, participant or Person, upon written demand of such Financing Party on its behalf
or on behalf of a participant (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate of such Financing
Party or participant describing in reasonable detail the basis of such increase), such amounts as
such Financing Party, participant or Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such
Financing Party, participant or Person for the increased costs to such Financing Party, participant
or Person of such increased capital. A certificate of a Financing Party setting forth the amount
or amounts necessary to compensate such Financing Party or participant, as the case may be, shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
13.04 Mitigation Obligations.
(a) If any Financing Party requests compensation under Section 13.02 (on its own behalf or on
behalf of a participant) or Section 13.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender (or for the
account of a participant) pursuant to Section 13.01, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts
(and shall instruct any participant) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates if, in the judgment of the Lender or participant, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 13.01 or 13.02, as the
case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
(b) If the Lender requests compensation under Section 13.02 (for its own account or the
account of a participant), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender or participant pursuant to
Section 13.01, or if the Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Lender and the Facility Agent,
require the Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 16.04), all its interest, rights and obligations under this
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
81
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower shall
have received the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld; (ii) the Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Guaranteed Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); and (iii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 13.02 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 13.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments. The Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by the Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease
to apply.
13.05 Break Funding Costs. If the Borrower shall (i) make a payment (whether by way
of prepayment, the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise) of any amount in respect of a
Guaranteed Note other than on an Interest Payment Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be, or
(ii) fail to borrow any Loan on the date specified in any Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower hereby
unconditionally undertakes and agrees to pay to the Lender, on demand, an amount equal to the
amount (if any) by which
(a) the additional interest which would have been payable to the Lender on the amount paid had
it been paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be,
exceeds
(b) the amount of interest which in the reasonable opinion of the Lender would have been
payable to the Lender on the relevant Interest Payment Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be,
in respect of a dollar deposit equal to the amount paid placed by the Lender with a prime bank in
London for a period starting on the third Business Day following the date of such payment and
ending on the last day of the relevant period. A certificate of the Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 13.05 shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
13.06 Prepayment Premium. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in connection
with the fixing of a fixed rate in connection with a Switch Option, the Lender will enter into
funding arrangements with third parties on terms and conditions which could result in substantial
losses to the Lender or such third party if any portion of the principal of a Fixed Rate Note is
paid prior to the scheduled Repayment Date therefor, and that therefore if any portion of a Fixed
Rate Note is so paid (whether as a result of voluntary or mandatory prepayment, acceleration, by
operation of law, or otherwise) the Borrower will pay to the Lender, as liquidated damages and not
as a penalty, a prepayment premium on the portion of a Fixed Rate Note paid prior to its scheduled
Repayment Date, calculated in the manner as shall have been notified to the Borrower by the Lender
at the time such fixed rate was proposed by the Lender to the Borrower in connection with its
exercise of a Switch Option.

Facility Agent shall request instructions from Ex-Im Bank with respect to any act or action
(including the failure to act) in connection with the Financing Documents, the Facility Agent shall
be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Facility Agent
shall have received instructions from Ex-Im Bank and the Facility Agent shall not incur any
liability by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Ex-Im Bank shall not have
any rights whatsoever against the Facility Agent as a result of the Facility Agent acting or
refraining to act in accordance with the instructions of Ex-Im Bank.

to the contrary, (i) assume that any representation made by any Person in connection with any
Financing Document is true, (ii) rely as to any matters of fact that might reasonably be expected
to be within the knowledge of any Person upon a certificate signed by or on behalf of such Person,
(iii) rely upon any communication or document believed by it to be genuine, and (iv) assume that no

83
(d) employ at the expense of the Borrower, in accordance with Section 16.02, attorneys,

under no obligation to act upon such advice if it does not deem such action to be appropriate;
(e) refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it as Facility Agent
hereunder unless and until instructed in accordance with Section 14.01 as to whether or not such
right, power or discretion is to be exercised, and, if it is to be exercised, as to the manner in
which it should be exercised; and
(f) refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of the Lender or Ex-Im Bank to
begin any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the
other Financing Documents until it shall have received such security as it may reasonably require
(whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise) for all costs, claims, expenses (including
legal fees) and liabilities that it will or may expend or incur in complying with such
instructions.
14.03 Duties of Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall:
(a) receive and maintain documents required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Facility
Agent or (to the extent received by the Facility Agent) to Ex-Im Bank in connection with any
Disbursement or Utilization pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Utilization and
Disbursement Procedures and shall forward copies of all such documents to Ex-Im Bank (unless
otherwise provided, to the attention of the Asset Management Division);
(b) promptly inform Ex-Im Bank and the Lender of the contents of any written notice or
document received by it from the Borrower;
(c) promptly provide each written notice as may be required of it pursuant to this Agreement;
(d) promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after (i) the Facility Agent

Default;
(e) promptly, and in any event in the case of a determination based on judgment within five
(5) days of making such a determination, notify the Lender and Ex-Im Bank that a Default or Event

instructions given to it by Ex-Im Bank;

Financing Document requires the approval, consent, decision, determination or satisfaction of, or
any communication or notification from the Facility Agent (including, without limitation, any such
action with respect to any appointment, amendment, condition, direction, instruction, modification,
supplement, or waiver related to any provision of any such document), the Lender authorizes and
instructs the Facility Agent to, and subject to Section 14.01 the Facility Agent undertakes to, follow the directions the Facility Agent receives from Ex-Im Bank in respect
thereof, and to act or refrain from acting in accordance with such instructions of Ex-Im Bank until
such time as all amounts owing to the Lender and Ex-Im Bank under the Financing Documents have been
paid in full.
14.04 No Duty to Inquire. The Facility Agent shall not be bound to inquire as to
whether any representation made by any Person (other than itself) in connection with any Financing
Document is true and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any
information supplied by any Person (other than itself) in connection with the Phase I Project or
the Phase II Project or pursuant to any Financing Document or for the legality, validity,
effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other document referred
to herein or provided for herein or for any recitals, statement, representations or warranties made
by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) contained in this Agreement or any other
Financing Document or in any certificate or other document referred to, provided for or received by
the Facility Agent, hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting the Facility Agent’s obligations
hereunder to review documentation conditions precedent to Disbursements or Utilizations for
compliance on their face with the terms of this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall have no duty to
monitor or inquire as to, or to assess or analyze any facts or circumstances in order to determine,
compliance by the Borrower with any covenant or undertaking of the Borrower, including, without
limitation, the covenants set forth in Sections 10 and 11.
14.05 No Liability. Without limiting the effectiveness of Section 6.07 of the Ex-Im
Bank Guarantee Agreement, neither the Facility Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees
or agents shall be liable to the Lender, Ex-Im Bank or any other Person for any action taken
(including the delivery of notices and certificates contemplated hereunder) or omitted under this
Agreement or under the other Financing Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except to
the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Facility Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees or agents, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Facility Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature; the Facility Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any
other Financing Document an agency or a fiduciary relationship in respect of Ex-Im Bank; and
nothing in this Agreement or any other Financing Document, expressed or
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
85
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Facility Agent any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any other Financing Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Without
limiting the effectiveness of Section 6.07 of the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement, each of the
Lender and Ex-Im Bank hereby releases, waives, discharges and exculpates the Facility Agent for any
action taken or omitted under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Facility Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents,
as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
14.06 The Facility Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation
to lend under this Agreement in its capacity as Lender and its rights and obligations under the
other Financing Documents in such capacity, the Facility Agent shall have the same rights and
powers as any holder of a Guaranteed Note or participation interest and may exercise the same as
though it were not performing the Facility Agent duties specified herein and the terms “Lender,”
“holders of Guaranteed Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Facility Agent in its individual capacity as Lender. The Facility
Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust
or other business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not performing the
duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services
in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lender or (without limiting the applicability of Section 8.02) Ex-Im Bank. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, but without limiting the applicability of
Section 8.02, the Facility Agent shall not be bound to (a) account to the Lender, Ex-Im Bank or any
other party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account, or (b)
disclose to any other Person any information relating to the Borrower if such disclosure would or
might in its opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or otherwise be actionable at the
suit of any Person.
14.07 Resignation or Removal of Facility Agent.
(a) The Facility Agent may resign its appointment hereunder at any time without assigning any
reason therefor by giving not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to that effect to
each of the other parties hereto; provided that no such resignation shall be effective until a
successor for the Facility Agent is appointed and has accepted such appointment, in accordance with
the succeeding provisions of this Section 14, and the resigning Facility Agent has re-funded the
pro rata portion of the annual agent’s fee relating to the period following the effective date of
such resignation (net of any other fees and expenses then owed by the Borrower to the Facility
Agent).
(b) The Lender may, with or without cause, terminate the appointment of the Facility Agent
hereunder at any time by giving not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to that effect
to the Facility Agent; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor for
the Facility Agent is appointed and has accepted such appointment in accordance with the succeeding
provisions of this Section 14.
14.08 Replacement Facility Agent.
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
86
(a) If the Facility Agent gives notice of its resignation pursuant to Section 14.07(a) or
receives notice of termination pursuant to Section 14.07(b), then any reputable and experienced
bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Lender and Ex-Im Bank may be appointed as a
successor to the Facility Agent by the Lender and Ex-Im Bank during the period of such notice but,
if no such successor is so appointed, the Facility Agent may appoint such a successor itself with
the consent of Ex-Im Bank; provided that such successor shall be an Acceptable Financial
Institution authorized under all Applicable Law to exercise corporate trust powers. In the event
Ex-Im Bank has not consented to any such successor proposed to be appointed by the Facility Agent
within ninety (90) days after the Facility Agent’s notice of resignation, the Facility Agent may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Facility Agent.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as if may deem proper, appoint a successor
Facility Agent, who shall serve in such capacity until such time, if any, as the Lender and Ex-Im
Bank appoints a successor Facility Agent as provided above.
(b) If a successor to the Facility Agent is appointed under the provisions of Section
14.08(a), then promptly following such successor’s acceptance of such appointment, (i) the retiring
Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation hereunder but shall remain entitled
to the benefits of this Section 14, and (ii) its successor and each of the other parties hereto
shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such
successor had been a party hereto. After any retiring Facility Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder as Facility Agent, this Section 14 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Facility Agent.
14.09 Credit Decisions. It is understood and agreed by each of the Lender and Ex-Im
Bank that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent
appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs,
status and nature of the Borrower and Ex-Im Bank. Each of Ex-Im Bank and the Lender acknowledges
and confirms to the Facility Agent that it has not relied on and will not hereafter rely on the
Facility Agent:
(a) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any
information provided by any party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein
contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter circulated to the Lender and
Ex-Im Bank by the Facility Agent); or
(b) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness,
condition, affairs, status or nature of the Borrower.

activities contemplated by the provisions of the Financing Documents are commercial in nature
rather than governmental or public, and, therefore, acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled
to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities
or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Financing Documents. The
Borrower, in respect of itself, its process agents, and its property, assets and revenues,
expressly and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any such right of
immunity that may now or hereafter exist (including any immunity from any legal process, from the
jurisdiction of any court or from any execution or attachment in aid of execution prior to judgment
or otherwise) or claim thereto that may now or hereafter exist, and agrees not to assert any such
right or claim in any such action or proceeding, whether in the United States or otherwise. The
foregoing waiver of sovereign immunity shall have effect to the fullest extent permitted under the
United States Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 and is intended to be irrevocable and not subject to
withdrawal for purposes of such Act.
15.03 Waiver of Security Requirements. To the extent the Borrower may, in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to any of the Financing Documents brought in the
Borrower’s Country or elsewhere, be entitled under Applicable Law to require or claim that any
Financing Party post security for costs or take similar action, the Borrower hereby irrevocably
waives and agrees not to claim the benefit of such entitlement.

“Disposition of Indebtedness”), and any such party shall enjoy all the rights and
privileges of the Lender under this Agreement and each Guaranteed Note that is the subject of such

that such Disposition of Indebtedness shall not, without the prior written consent of Ex-Im Bank,
relieve the Facility Agent of its duties under this Agreement or the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee
Agreement. A Disposition of Indebtedness (other than a participation) shall become effective upon
execution and delivery by the transferee and the Lender of the Lender Transfer Agreement (or such
other document in replacement thereof as is satisfactory to the Facility Agent) in the form of
Annex D hereto. The Borrower shall, at the request of the Facility Agent, execute and deliver to

portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it, the Guaranteed Notes held by it and any of its
rights to compensation under Section 13); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this

entitled to the benefits of Section 13.01, 13.02 and 13.03 to the same extent as if it were the
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment. To the extent permitted by law, each
participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 16.17 as though it were the Lender,
provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.02 as thought it were the Lender.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Lender may at any

effect to any such disposal by Ex-Im Bank.

benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
16.06 Disclaimer. None of the Financing Parties shall be responsible in any way for
the performance of any Supply Contract and no claim against the Exporter or any other Person with
respect to the performance of any Supply Contract will affect the obligations of the Borrower under
any of the Financing Documents.
16.07 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any
Financing Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, the Guaranteed
Note(s) or any Financing Document and no course of dealing between or among the Borrower, Ex-Im
Bank, the Lender and/or the Facility Agent shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, under any Guaranteed Note or under
any other Financing Document preclude any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.
The rights and remedies expressly provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that any Financing Party would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in
any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Financing Party to any other or further
action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
16.08 Entire Agreement; Conflict. This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and
the documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement among the parties hereto regarding
the Guaranteed Credits. As between the Facility Agent and Ex-Im Bank, in the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee
Agreement, the terms of the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement shall govern, superseding the terms
hereof to the extent of such difference. Each of the Lender and the Facility Agent acknowledges
and agrees that it is the intent of the transactions contemplated hereunder that all Disbursements
made by the Lender hereunder be covered by the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee (subject to the terms and
conditions of the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement) and that no Lender that complies in all material
respects with the terms of the Financing Documents be exposed to the credit risk of the Borrower.

Agreement may be amended or modified, and any waiver of any term or provision hereof may be
granted, only by an instrument signed by the Borrower and Ex-Im Bank; provided, however, that no
amendment, modification or waiver that affects any of the rights or duties of the Facility Agent or
the Lender may be made without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent or the Lender, as
the case may be.
16.10 Indemnification.
(a) The Borrower shall, whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated,
indemnify each Financing Party and its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives,
counsel and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and defend and hold them harmless from
and against any and all present and future liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
injuries (to person, property or natural resources), claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements of whatever kind or nature (collectively, “Indemnifiable
Costs”), demanded, asserted or claimed by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in
any way related to, or by reason of, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding or inquiry
(whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) related to their participation in the
transactions contemplated by any Financing Document or the Disbursement or use of the proceeds of
any Guaranteed Credit, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel selected by such
Indemnified Party incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other
proceeding or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 16.10(a) but excluding
any Indemnifiable Costs to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnified Party, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction).
(b) Without limitation of Section 16.10(a), the Xxxxxxxx agrees to defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and hold each of them harmless against any and all
Indemnifiable Costs imposed on or asserted against any such Persons directly or indirectly based
on, or arising or resulting from (i) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous
Facility Agreement AP082872XX-Singapore
93
Materials on, under or at the Fab 7 Plant, (ii) any Environmental Claim relating to the Borrower or the Phase I
Project or the Phase II Project or arising out of the use of the Fab 7 Plant, or (iii) the exercise
of any Indemnified Party’s rights under any of the provisions of this Section 16.10, but excluding any matter based solely on the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any such Indemnified Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
representatives, attorneys or agents, as the case may be, as determined pursuant to a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) To the extent that any undertaking in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 16.10 may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute
the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and
satisfaction of such undertaking.
(d) All sums paid and costs incurred by any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter
indemnified hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date the Borrower receives
notice thereof from such Indemnified Party until such Indemnified Party is reimbursed by the
Borrower. All sums paid and costs incurred by any Financing Party with respect to any matter
indemnified hereunder shall, except as otherwise set forth herein, be immediately due and payable
on demand. Each such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in a timely manner of
any such amounts payable by Borrower hereunder; provided, however, any failure to provide such
notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 16.10. The provisions of
this Section 16.10 shall survive satisfaction or discharge of the Guaranteed Credits and related
obligations and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of any Indemnified Party.
(e) Each Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 16.10(a) and (b), within fifteen (15) Business
Days after the receipt by it of notice of the commencement of any action for which indemnity may be
sought by it, or by any Person Controlling it, from the Borrower on account of the agreements
contained in this Section 16.10, shall notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof;
provided, however, that the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify the Borrower of any such
action shall not release the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified
Party. The Borrower shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(f) The Borrower agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether special,
direct, indirect or consequential, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates or to their respective security holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in
connection with the Phase I Project or the Phase II Project or any of the Financing Documents,
except to the extent caused by such Indemnified Party’s fraud, gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction whose determination of such
matter is not subject to appeal. In no circumstance shall (i) any Indemnified Party be liable to
the Borrower for any indirect or (whether direct or indirect) special or consequential losses or
damages suffered by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including lost profits, business
opportunities or anticipated savings), or (ii) the liability of either Ex-Im Bank or the Lender
hereunder exceed the amount actually borrowed by the Borrower under the Guaranteed Credits.

16.11 Currency Indemnity.
(a) The currency in which an amount is expressed to be payable, and the place where that
amount is to be paid, under the terms of the Financing Documents are of the essence of the
transactions represented by the Financing Documents, and no obligation under the Financing
Documents shall be discharged or satisfied unless and until the relevant Financing Party has
received the full amount payable in respect of such obligation in the currency and in accordance
with the Financing Documents.
(b) The Borrower, as an independent obligation, shall indemnify each Financing Party against
any loss or liability that such Financing Party incurs as a consequence of:
(i) such Financing Party receiving an amount in respect of the Borrower’s liability under the
Financing Documents; or
(ii) such liability being converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order,
in a currency other than the currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable, or in a
place other then the place where that amount is to be paid, under the relevant Financing Document.
(c) Unless otherwise required by law, the Borrower waives any right it may have in any
jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Financing Documents in a currency other than that in which
it is expressed to be payable.
16.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in separate counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
16.13 Termination of the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement. In the event that the Ex-Im
Bank Guarantee Agreement terminates in its entirety pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement, as of the date of such termination, the rights of Ex-Im Bank under
Section 12 of this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been assigned to the Lender,
except for those rights under Section 12 that relate to the Guaranteed Credit in respect of which
Ex-Im Bank has made a claim payment under the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement.
16.14 English Language. All documents to be delivered by any party hereto pursuant to
the terms hereof shall be in the English language or, if originally written in another language,

have the right to rely for all purposes under this Agreement and any Guaranteed Note.
16.15 Severability. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the illegality or
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way affect or impair the
legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

16.16 Ex-Im Bank as Subrogee. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, upon payment of
any amount by Ex-Im Bank under the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement, Ex-Im Bank shall be subrogated
(by way of an assignment, by operation of law or otherwise) to all of the rights of the Lender in
respect of Guaranteed Amounts under the Financing Documents (other than the Fee Letter and claims
of the Lender not consisting of Guaranteed Amounts) or otherwise to the
extent set forth in the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee Agreement and in this Agreement, and all payments
by the Borrower hereunder with respect to such Guaranteed Amounts shall thereafter be made directly
to Ex-Im Bank (and not to the Facility Agent).
16.17 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing,
the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional

Guaranteed Note regarding payments made on account of the principal thereof, in the absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding. Upon the payment in full of this Guaranteed Note,

in accordance with the “Reimbursement Procedure” and/or the “L/C Procedure,” both of which are
described below. No other disbursement methods are permitted.
| II. | Reimbursement Procedure |
The Borrower may from time to time request that Disbursements be made by the Lender to the
Borrower’s account at a commercial bank in the United States (unless otherwise agreed by Ex-Im
Bank) selected by the Borrower and acceptable to each of the Facility Agent and Ex-Im Bank to: (i)
reimburse the Borrower for the Ex-Im Bank-approved portion of any payments made by the Borrower to
an Exporter or Ancillary Services Provider; and (ii) charge the Borrower for the Exposure Fee due
to Ex-Im Bank (if financed). The Borrower may submit no more than one (1) request for

invoice signed by the Payee; (b) a copy of a commercial bank’s “Advice of Payment”
to the Payee; (c) a copy of both sides of a cancelled check made payable to the

3. An original completed Exporter’s Certificate(s) in the form of Exhibit 1,

pursuant to a prior Utilization.
4. Copies of signed, clean, on-board ocean, airway, railway or other bills of
lading evidencing shipment of the Goods from the United States to the Borrower’s
Country (or, in the case that the Borrower’s Country is either Canada or Mexico, a

Certificate, which shall be manually signed originals.
B. If a Letter of Credit naming the Exporter as the beneficiary has been previously
opened in accordance with the L/C Procedure set forth in Part III below, the Facility Agent
will coordinate with Ex-Im Bank and the Borrower to determine the appropriate percentage
that will apply to the requested Reimbursement, based on the Exporter’s Certificate
submitted under the L/C Procedure.
C. Upon approval of the Reimbursement Documents, Ex-Im Bank shall issue to the Facility
Agent a Certificate Authorizing Reimbursement, in the form of Exhibit 4.
D. Upon receipt of the Certificate Authorizing Reimbursement, the Lender will reimburse
the Borrower for the Ex-Im Bank-approved portion of the Goods and Services as approved by
Ex-Im Bank in the Certificate, and will simultaneously pay to Ex-Im Bank the Exposure Fee
(if financed) that is due on such Reimbursement, in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. The sum of the amounts so reimbursed to the Borrower and so paid to Ex-Im Bank
shall constitute a Disbursement under the Guaranteed Credits.
| III. | L/C Procedure |
The Borrower may request a commercial bank located in the United States that is acceptable to
the Facility Agent and Ex-Im Bank (“L/C Bank”)1 to issue, confirm or advise letters of
credit (“Letters of Credit”) in favor of an Exporter (or U.S.-based Ancillary Services
| 1 | The Facility Agent may also be the L/C Bank if the Facility Agent is a commercial bank located in the U.S. |
B-2
Provider) as
the beneficiary. Ex-Im Bank reserves the right to limit the number of Letters of Credit for which it will issue Certificates Approving Letter of Credit. Whenever possible,
all Goods and Services to be purchased from one beneficiary should be covered under a single Letter
of Credit.
To obtain Disbursements under the L/C Procedure:
A. The Borrower shall request the L/C Bank to submit to the Facility Agent the
following documents (collectively, the “L/C Documents”), all of which must be satisfactory
in form and substance to the L/C Bank, the Facility Agent and Ex-Im Bank:

5, signed by the authorized representative(s) of the Borrower designated pursuant to
Section 6.01 of the Agreement.
2. Three (3) copies of the proposed letter of credit in favor of the
beneficiary, complete in all respects, except for date and signature by the L/C
Bank, and accompanied by a copy of the related pro forma invoice or
Supply Contract. The Borrower’s instructions to the L/C Bank with respect to the
proposed letter of credit shall provide that the documents to be presented for
drawings under such letter of credit meet the documentary requirements of the
Agreement, including the submission of invoices (except that invoices need not be
accompanied by evidence of payment), any Amended Exporter’s Certificates, and bills
of lading, in form and substance as specified in Section II above.
3. An original completed Exporter’s Certificate(s), signed by an authorized
officer or employee of the Exporter (or Ancillary Services Provider), with
attachments, if required; unless such Exporter (or Ancillary Services
Provider) has previously provided an Exporter’s Certificate pursuant to a prior
Utilization.
4. Such other documents, statements, certificates, information and evidence as
Ex-Im Bank may from time to time reasonably request.
B. Upon approval of the L/C Documents, Ex-Im Bank shall issue to the L/C Bank, with a
copy to the Facility Agent, a Certificate Approving Letter of Credit, in the form of Exhibit
6.
C. Upon receipt of the Certificate Approving Letter of Credit, the L/C Bank shall
issue, advise or confirm the Letter of Credit.
D. If the Exposure Fee is included in the Letter of Credit, before any drawings are
permitted under the Letter of Credit, the L/C Bank shall have received from the beneficiary
of such Letter of Credit its irrevocable instructions, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Facility Agent, L/C Bank and Ex-Im Bank, to: (i) deduct from the first payment (if the
Exposure Fee is to be paid “up front”) or each payment (if the Exposure
B-3
Fee is to be paid
“as disbursed”) under the Letter of Credit an amount equal to the
Exposure Fee payable to Ex-Im Bank; and (ii) to pay such amount directly to Ex-Im Bank.
E. The L/C Bank will pay the beneficiary under the Letter of Credit upon presentation
of the documents required by the Letter of Credit (“Drawing Documents”), and will
simultaneously pay to Ex-Im Bank the applicable Exposure Fee, if any. A Disbursement shall
be deemed to occur when the L/C Bank makes payment of a draft drawn under the Letter of
Credit (“L/C Payment”). The sum of the amounts so paid to the beneficiary and to Ex-Im Bank
under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Letter of Credit shall constitute the amount
of the Disbursement.
F. Within three (3) Business Days after the date of an L/C Payment, the Facility Agent
shall deliver, or request the L/C Bank to deliver, to Ex-Im Bank copies of the Drawing
Documents related to such L/C Payment (including a copy of the advice of payment to the
beneficiary’s account), except any Amended Exporter’s Certificate, which shall be a manually
signed original.
G. Ex-Im Bank Approval of Letter of Credit Amendments.

| IV. | Ocean Transportation — MARAD Waivers |
If any of the Goods are to be or were previously exported on ocean vessels that are not
vessels of U.S. registry, the Borrower must obtain a waiver from the provisions of 46 U.S.C.
§1241-1 (Public Resolution No. 17 of the 73rd Congress of the United States, as amended). An
application for waiver must be submitted to the U.S. Maritime Administration (“MARAD”) at the
following address: Director, Office of Market Development, Room 7207, Maritime Administration,
Department of Transportation, 000 0xx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (with a copy to Ex-Im
Bank). For further information about PR17 waivers, please contact MARAD or go to its website at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx.xxx. Each application for such waiver must be submitted to MARAD
sufficiently in advance of the intended shipping date in order to allow MARAD adequate opportunity
to process the application. If any of the Goods are or were shipped on ocean vessels of
non-U.S. registry without a MARAD waiver, or contrary to the
B-6
provisions of a MARAD waiver, such
Goods will not be eligible for financing under the Guaranteed Credits.

The following is included for informational purposes only, and is not part of the Agreement:
Because the Exporter(s) (and Ancillary Services Provider, if any), and the L/C Bank are not
parties to the Agreement, the Borrower and Facility Agent will need to take the following steps to
ensure that the Guaranteed Credits are disbursed in a timely fashion:
1. The Borrower should advise the Exporter(s) (and any Ancillary Services Providers, if any)
of the provisions of this Agreement that will require its cooperation, including, without
limitation, the requirement that the Initial Exporter’s Certificate be completed and submitted
prior to the first Utilization. The Borrower should also advise the Exporter(s) (and any Ancillary
Services Provider(s)) of its obligation, as described in Section 7 of the Exporter’s Certificate,
to submit an Amended Exporter’s Certificate if the information or certifications set forth in a
previously submitted Certificate become untrue.
2. If the Borrower would like to use the L/C Procedure, the Borrower must make appropriate
arrangements with the L/C Bank regarding the issuance, confirmation or advice of the Letters of
Credit and the payment of any fees that the L/C Bank may charge. The Lender and the L/C Bank must
enter into a reimbursement agreement with respect to the L/C Payments, which reimbursement
agreement, along with Ex-Im Bank’s Certificate Approving Letter of Credit, will be conditions
precedent to the issuance, confirmation or advice of a letter of credit by the L/C Bank.

PART B: CERTIFICATIONS
We hereby certify, as to ourselves and the Ex-Im Bank-approved Goods and Services sourced from the
U.S. and the Purchaser’s country, as follows:
1. 15% Cash Payment. We (i) have received (or will receive) payment for at least 15% of the
Net Contract Price, and/or (ii) have financed (or will finance) such amount at market rates. We
have submitted (or will submit) evidence of payment of our invoices. (For 100% U.S. Goods and
Services, “Net Contract Price” means the aggregate price of such Goods and Services.)
2. Invoices and Shipment. We have provided (or will provide) copies of (i) invoices
describing the Goods and Services and (ii) signed, clean, onboard bills of lading evidencing that
the Goods included in the Net Contract Price have been shipped from the U.S. to the Purchaser’s
country. For Services, progress payments for Goods prior to shipment, and/or Local Costs, the
value of the work performed at the time the invoices therefor are submitted for payment shall equal
or exceed the amount so invoiced (or we have obtained Ex-Im Bank’s prior consent to an alternative
arrangement).
3. Suspension and Debarment. We and each of our Principals individually, have not within
the past 3 years been a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible from participating in, or
voluntarily excluded from participation in, a Covered Transaction, b) formally proposed for
debarment, with a final determination still pending, c) indicted, convicted or had a civil judgment
rendered against us for any of the offenses listed in the Regulations, d) delinquent on any
substantial debts owed to the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities as of the date
of execution of this certification; or we have received a written statement of exception
from Ex-Im Bank attached to this certification, permitting participation in this Covered
Transaction despite an inability to make certifications a) through d) in this paragraph.
We further certify that we have not and will not knowingly enter into any agreements in
connection with the Goods and Services with any individual or entity that has been debarred,
suspended, declared ineligible from participating in, or voluntarily excluded from participation in
a Covered Transaction. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Government-wide Non-procurement Suspension and Debarment Regulations — Common Rule
(Regulations). In addition, we are not listed on any of the publicly available debarment lists of
the following international financial institutions: World Bank Group, African Development Bank,
Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Inter-American
Development Bank.
4. Other Payments; Legal Compliance. Without Ex-Im Bank’s written consent, a copy of which
is attached, we have not and will not agree to, offer to, cause to, or arrange for, directly or
indirectly, any payment, discount, allowance, rebate, commission, fee or other payment in
connection with the sales of the Goods and Services under (or obtaining) the Supply
Contract/Purchase Order(s) or Ex-Im Bank Credit/Guarantee/Insurance, except for a) payment
of manufacturing costs or for the purchase of the Goods, b) the regular remuneration of our regular
full-time directors, officers and employees; c) regular commissions or fees, if any, to our regular
sales agent, broker or representative and readily identifiable on our books and records as to
amount, purpose and recipient; d) any discounts, allowances, or rebates to the Purchaser that are
disclosed in our invoices; or e) any letter of credit or other fees paid to commercial
B(1)-2
banks or any payments made to Ex-Im Bank in connection with the Ex-Im Bank
Credit/Guarantee/Insurance.
In addition, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf, such as agents, have engaged, or will
engage, in any activity in connection with this transaction that is a violation of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, 15 U.S.C. 78dd-1, et seq. (which provides for civil and criminal
penalties against companies and individuals who directly or indirectly make or facilitate corrupt
payments to foreign officials to obtain or keep business).
Further, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf in connection with this transaction are
currently under charge or have been, within the past 5 years, convicted in any court or been
subject to national administrative measures of any country for bribery of foreign public officials.
To the best of our knowledge, the Supply Contract/Purchase Order(s) and the performance by the
parties of their respective obligations thereunder does not violate any applicable law.
5. Munitions List. Except as described on our attached statement, none of the Goods and
Services are on the U.S. Munitions List (part 121 of Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations).
PART C: CHANGES AND EX-IM BANK RELIANCE
6. Changes to Certifications. With respect to Part A, we will promptly complete and submit
an Amended Exporter’s Certificate if there has been a “material change” in the U.S. Content
Percentage (together with a copy of the completed “Disbursement Percentage Calculator” found at
xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx.xxxx) prior to any further presentation of invoices for
payment. A “material change” in the U.S. Content Percentage occurs if (a) the U.S. Content
Percentage has decreased by more than 5% (as compared to the U.S. Content Percentage reported in
the initial Exporter’s Certificate) and (b) aggregate foreign content is over 20% (i.e.,
the new U.S. Content Percentage is less than 80%).
With respect to Parts B or C, if any of the certifications made therein become untrue,
we will promptly submit an amended Exporter’s Certificate, noting the changes and with any required
attachments, prior to any further presentation of invoices for payment.
7. Ex-Im Bank Reliance. With knowledge that Ex-Im Bank will rely on the certifications and
representations made in this Exporter’s Certificate, we agree we are liable for any damages
suffered by Ex-Im Bank’s reliance. We understand that these certifications are subject to the
penalties for fraud provided in Article 18 U.S.C., Section 1001. We agree that presentation of
invoices for payment under the Ex-Im Bank Credit/Guarantee/Insurance is a confirmation by us of the
information and certifications made herein. By his signature, the person signing this
Exporter’s Certificate on behalf of the Exporter represents that he is fully authorized to do so.
We agree to provide additional information with respect to any of the matters covered in this
Exporter’s Certificate upon Ex-Im Bank’s reasonable written request.
