Notwithstanding the foregoing, the set off of any Credit Balance of the Company against any debt of the Company towards the Lenders under the Credit Documents is conditional upon the debt having become due (including by way of a demand for the immediate payment thereof).

In addition, set off or exercise of the lien right by the Lenders or any one of them, through the Facility Agent, is subject to the Facility Agent notifying the Company 7 business days prior to the set off or exercise of the lien right of its intention to perform such action, unless the Lenders believe that such notice may affect their ability to collect the Credit.

25.5.
The Company is aware that in instances in which the Facility Agent exercises the rights of set off, as set forth in this Section 25, prior to the repayment date of all or part of a deposit of the Company, adverse changes may occur to its rights with respect to or in connection with such deposit (i.e. with respect to interest rates, linkage differentials, representative rate differences, rights to grants or loans, exemptions or relief from income tax or deductions at source – if it had such rights under the terms of such deposit).
