(e) |
Any deposits by the Ormat Sponsor into the PLN Credit Reserve Account pursuant to paragraph (d) above will not constitute an Equity Contribution for the purposes of the Senior Finance Documents. |
6.2 |
Acceptable Equity Contribution LC Requirements |
Each Acceptable Equity Contribution LC must:
(a) |
be issued by an Eligible Bank in favour of the Offshore Security Agent (on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties) as the beneficiary in the amount (denominated in Dollars) required by this Deed; |
(b) |
be for the account of the Ormat Sponsor; and |
(ii) |
such Acceptable Equity Contribution LC shall have an initial expiration date of at least one year beyond the date of issuance; |
(iii) |
there are no conditions to drawing on the Acceptable Equity Contribution LC other than the submission of a demand or draw request in the prescribed form; |
(vi) |
no obligation relating to such Acceptable Equity Contribution LC may be secured by any Security Interest over any assets secured by any Transaction Security. |
6.3 |
Drawing of Acceptable Letters of Credit |
(i) |
if the Ormat Sponsor fails to comply with any of its obligations under: |
(ii) |
on any date that is at least thirty (30) days after the Eligible Bank that provides such Acceptable Equity Contribution LC is no longer an Eligible Bank, unless an Ormat Equity Party has: |
(B) |
provided a replacement Acceptable Equity Contribution LC in an amount equal to the then-stated amount of the Acceptable Equity Contribution LC being replaced; or |
(b) |
All drawings under an Acceptable Equity Contribution LC shall be paid by way of deposit into: |
(i) |
the Offshore Construction and Supply Account; or |
(ii) |
if an Event of Default subsists, such other account as notified to the Ormat Sponsor by the Offshore Security Agent or the Intercreditor Agent. |
6.4 |
Changes in face amounts of Acceptable Letters of Credit |
but in either case such reduction or replacement shall only be permitted if the amount available to be drawn under the relevant Acceptable Equity Contribution LC, when aggregated with all amounts standing to the credit of the Base Equity Commitment Cash Collateral Account (in the case of an Acceptable Equity Contribution LC provided pursuant to Clause 6.1(a)(i) (Establishment of Acceptable Letters of Credit)) or the Contingent Equity Commitment Cash Collateral Account (in the case of an Acceptable Equity Contribution LC provided pursuant to Clause 6.1(a)(ii)(B) (Establishment of Acceptable Letters of Credit)) (as applicable) after giving effect to such reduction or replacement is not less than the then-applicable Unutilised Base Equity Commitment or Unutilised Contingent Equity Commitment (as applicable).
(i) |
an increase in the undrawn amount of the Acceptable Equity Contribution LC; or |
(ii) |
the replacement of such Acceptable Equity Contribution LC, |
in either case so that the amount available to be drawn under the relevant Acceptable Equity Contribution LC, when aggregated with all amounts standing to the credit of the Base Equity Commitment Cash Collateral Account (in the case of an Acceptable Equity Contribution LC provided pursuant to Clause 6.1(a)(i) (Establishment of Acceptable Letters of Credit)) or the Contingent Equity Commitment Cash Collateral Account (in the case of an Acceptable Equity Contribution LC provided pursuant to Clause 6.1(a)(ii)(B) (Establishment of Acceptable Letters of Credit)) (as applicable), is not less than the then-applicable Unutilised Base Equity Commitment or Unutilised Contingent Equity Commitment (as applicable).
6.5 |
Requirement to maintain Acceptable Letters of Credit |
If any Acceptable Equity Contribution LC held by the Offshore Security Agent under this Deed ceases to be in full force and effect or available to be drawn up to its undrawn face amount by the Offshore Security Agent as beneficiary, including as a result of:
(a) |
an insolvency proceeding affecting the issuer thereof; |
(b) |
the application of any Applicable Law; or |
(an “Affected Letter of Credit”), then the Ormat Sponsor shall ensure that a replacement Acceptable Equity Contribution LC is immediately provided to the Offshore Security Agent in an undrawn face amount which satisfies all the requirements of this Deed, with the effect that the Offshore Security Agent and the other Senior Secured Parties are no worse off than if such Affected Letter of Credit had not ceased to be in full force and effect or available to be drawn.
6.6 |
Cash Collateral |
7. |
Sponsor Guarantee and Indemnity |
7.1 |

The Ormat Sponsor irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) |
guarantees to each Senior Secured Party the punctual performance by each other Ormat Equity Party of all of its obligations under this Deed; |
7.2 |
Waiver of defences |
The obligations of the Ormat Sponsor under this Clause 7 will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 7 (whether or not known to it or a Senior Secured Party or any other person), including:
(a) |
any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any person; |
(c) |
any incapacity or lack of powers, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any person; |
7.3 |
Continuing guarantee |
The guarantee in Clause 7.1(a) (Guarantee and indemnity) is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by the Ormat Sponsor under this Deed, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
7.4 |
Reinstatement |
If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Ormat Equity Party, the Ormat Borrower Entity, the Operator, any other Borrower Entity or any other Equity Party, or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Ormat Sponsor under this Clause 7 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.
7.5 |
Immediate recourse |
The Ormat Sponsor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Senior Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from it under this Clause 7. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Senior Finance Document to the contrary.
7.6 |
Appropriations |
Until the Senior Secured Liabilities Discharge Date, each Senior Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:
(b) |
hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received from the Ormat Sponsor or on account of the Ormat Sponsor’s liability under this Clause 7. |
