By a transfer certificate dated 10 January 2014, the Original Lender transferred by novation all its rights and obligations under the Original Agreement to the Lender.
 
(C)
By a letter dated 10 June 2015, the Borrower requested the Lender, inter alia, (i) to increase the amount of the Facility granted under the Original Agreement from USD 25,000,000 (twenty-five million U.S. Dollars) to USD 30,400,000 (thirty million four hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) and (ii) to extend the maturity of the Original Agreement through 31 July 2018.

The Lender has issued debt securities to investors (the “Noteholders”) in order to finance the loans provided under the Original Agreement.

After having received the written consent from its then existing Noteholders, the Lender agreed to amend the Original Agreement and have such Original Agreement amended and restated.
 
(F)
As a consequence thereof, the Parties entered into an amended and restated facility agreement effective 30 June 2015 (Original Agreement, as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Facility Agreement”). As of the date of the Facility Agreement, and due to the amendments and restatements effective as of 30 June 2015, (i) the aggregate amount of the Facility was USD 30,400,000 (thirty million four hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) and (ii) the maturity of the Facility was 31 July 2018.

(J)
Following request from the Borrower, the Lender convened its existing Noteholders to Noteholders meetings on 16 January 2019 for the purpose of, inter alia, considering and, if thought fit, approving the request for a third extension and the subsequent extension of the maturity of the debt securities issued by the Lender to the Noteholders from 1 April 2019 to 1 April 2020 (the “Third Extension”) or any alternative restructuring solution that the Lender and the Noteholders present at such meetings may discuss and deem fit (the “Third Extension Meetings”).
