have been due for the Interest Period in progress at the time of the prepayment, if the prepayment had not been carried out, and (ii) the interest share which the Lending Party might have received in the period ranging from the day in which the Lending Party obtained the amount relating to the repayment to the Interest Payment Date immediately following the date in which the prepayment was carried out, by depositing the previously repaid amount in a primary international bank. The nominal interest rate of the re-use Loan shall be the one in force for loans in the same currency, whose duration is the closest to the residual one for the Interest Period during which the prepayment was carried out.

Pursuant to the restrictions provided in article 1462 of the Italian Civil Code, the Beneficiary’s obligation to pay the amounts due by way of repayment of principal, interest or for any other account, and in general, the Beneficiary’s fulfilment of any obligations under this Agreement shall not be suspended or delayed, not even in case of dispute or judicial dispute caused by the Beneficiary and/or third parties, or however based on any legislative, administrative or judicial measures.

9.4 Payment allocation

Without prejudice to article 8.4 above, if the Agent Bank receives from the Beneficiary a payment whose amount is lower than the amounts due, the partial payment, regardless of the possible different allocation indicated by the subject carrying out the payment, shall be allocated as follows:

(A) first of all, to the amounts due by way of repayment of costs and expenses paid by the Lending Party in compliance with this Agreement, which have not already been paid by the Beneficiary;

(B) secondly, to the amounts due by way of interest accrued on the Loan (including any Default Interest) which have not already been paid by the Beneficiary;

(C) thirdly, to the amounts due as principal, pursuant to this Agreement, which have not already been paid by the Beneficiary; and

(D) and fourthly, to the amounts due for other reasons, pursuant to this Agreement, and which have not already been paid by the Beneficiary.

In particular, the Beneficiary shall repay such charges to the Agent Bank within 30 (thirty) days of receipt by the Beneficiary of a written request sent by said Bank, through which such charges are certified and documented and the measures supporting such obligation are specified.

10.2 If the charges mentioned above should be deducted from the amount of the payments which the Beneficiary should carry out in favour of the Agent Bank, pursuant to this Agreement and/or any of the other Financial Documents, the Beneficiary shall pay an additional amount to ensure that the Agent Bank receives a net amount equalling the amount which it would have received without the imposition of said charges. The Beneficiary shall not be required to pay such additional amount if, at the date in which the Beneficiary must make payments in favour of the Agent Bank pursuant to this Agreement and/or any of the other Financial Documents, the Lending Party is not or has ceased to be an Eligible Bank. The Lending Party shall collaborate with the Beneficiary in order to meet the legal requirements for the latter to be able to make the payments due pursuant to this Agreement, and/or any of the other Financial Documents, without any deduction or withholding.

10.3 Furthermore, the Costs, as well as additional charges and VAT, if applicable, shall be entirely borne by the Beneficiary, in compliance with this Agreement and/or the other Financial Documents.

10.4 It is understood that no charge for taxes, duties, charges and expenses (including the related Costs) will be due from the Beneficiary in relation to assignment by a Lending Party pursuant to article 22 of this Agreement. For this purpose the Agent Bank undertakes to indemnify the Beneficiary with regard to each tax, duty, charge and expense (including the related Costs), reasonably and effectively incurred and duly documented, sustained by the latter as a result of an assignment made by a Lending Party.

11. HIGHER CHARGES

11.1 After the Stipulation Date, in case of legislative changes or of any other measures of regulatory or administrative character implying a change in the current regulatory or normative situation, also of international character, including the European Union, and causing increases in costs or any charges (embracing also the case of lesser revenue due to changes in the reserve obligations imposed by rules of cautionary surveillance to the Lending Party) to be charged to the Lending Party in relation to the disbursed amount, not repaid pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent Bank shall inform the Beneficiary about that by writing, pointing out the measures originating such higher costs or charges. The Beneficiary shall promptly pay the additional amount of such higher costs or charges, since they were actually paid and duly certified by the Agent Bank within the 30 (thirty) days following the notification. In any case, that payment shall be made only until such higher costs or charges continue.

11.2 In the cases provided in previous paragraph 11.1, the Lending Party hereby pledges, in good faith, to do all that is reasonably possible to limit such higher costs or charges.

11.3 In the cases in article 11.1, the Beneficiary shall have the faculty to immediately carry out prepayment of the Drawdown or part of it, providing the Agent Bank with prompt written notice through specific Prepayment Request, without application of any penalty or breakage cost.

12. TAX CREDIT

Following such payment, said Lending Party should be in the same financial position, net of the tax effect, in which it would have been if the payment of any additional amount or indemnity had not been due.

14. BENEFICIARY OBLIGATIONS

Until full discharge of all the Lending Party’s credit claims originating from the Financial Documents, the Beneficiary pledges to fulfil the provisions of annex 14, thus promising also the third-party fact pursuant to article 1381 of the Italian Civil Code, any time an obligation to be fulfilled by a third party is mentioned.
