(81) Section 2.04 Continuing guarantee

(82) The guarantee in Section 2.01 is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by the Borrower and/or the Guarantor under the Loan Agreement and this Agreement, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

(83) Section 2.05 Reinstatement

(84) If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of the Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Lender 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 Guarantor under this Article II will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

(85) Section 2.06 Waiver of defences

(151) Section 5.01 Governing Law

(152) This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

(153) Section 5.02 Arbitration

(154) (a) Arbitration

(155) Subject to paragraph (e) below (Lender’s option), any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a „Dispute”) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA).

(156) (b) Formation of arbitral tribunal, seat and language of arbitration

(157) (i) The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators.

(163) (i) The following shall apply to any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and out of or in connection with the Loan Agreement in respect of which a Request for Arbitration has been delivered (or, where impossible, effectively notified) to all other parties to the arbitration. In relation to any such disputes if, in the absolute discretion of the first arbitral tribunal to be appointed in any of the disputes, they are so closely connected that it is expedient for them to be resolved in the same proceedings, that arbitral tribunal shall have the power to order that the proceedings to resolve that dispute shall be consolidated with those to resolve any of the other disputes, provided that no date for the final hearing of the first arbitration has been fixed. If that arbitral tribunal so orders, the parties to each dispute which is a subject of its order shall be treated as having consented to that dispute being finally decided:

(164) (A) by the arbitral tribunal that ordered the consolidation unless the LCIA decides that that arbitral tribunal would not be suitable or impartial; and

(165) (B) in accordance with the procedure, at the seat and in the language specified in the Loan Agreement, save as otherwise agreed by all parties to the consolidated proceedings or, in the absence of any such agreement, ordered by the arbitral tribunal in the consolidated proceedings.

(166) Any dispute which is subject to a contractual option to litigate shall only be capable of consolidation pursuant to this paragraph (i) if:

(167) (C) exercise of the option to which the dispute is subject is no longer permitted pursuant to the terms upon which the option was granted; or

(168) (D) the right of the option-holder to exercise the option has otherwise been validly waived.

(169) (ii) Paragraph (i) above shall apply even where powers to consolidate proceedings exist under any applicable arbitration rules (including those of an arbitral institution) and, in such circumstances, the provisions of paragraph (i) above shall apply in addition to those powers.

(170) (e) Lender’s option

(171) Before the Lender has delivered to the Registrar of the LCIA Court a Request for Arbitration or Response as defined in the Arbitration Rules of the LCIA (as the case may be), the Lender may by notice in writing to the Guarantor require that all Disputes or a specific Dispute be heard by a court of law. If the Lender gives such notice, the Dispute to which such notice refers shall be determined in accordance with section 5.03 (Jurisdiction).

(172) Section 5.03 Jurisdiction

(173) If the Lender issues a notice pursuant to section 5.02(e) (Lender’s option), the provisions of this section 5.03 (Jurisdiction) shall apply.

(174) (a) The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute.

(175) (b) The parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.

(176) (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Lender shall not be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Lender may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(177) Section 5.04 Service of process

(178) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Guarantor:

(179) (a) irrevocably appoints the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia to the Court of St. James’s at 28 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QB as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with this Agreement; and

(180) (b) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Guarantor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

(181) If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Guarantor shall immediately (and in any event within five (5) days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Lender. Failing this, the Lender may appoint another agent for this purpose.

(182) Section 5.05 Waiver Of Immunity

(183) (a) The Guarantor irrevocably waives generally all immunity it or its Assets may otherwise have in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, immunity in respect of:

(184) (i) jurisdiction of any court or tribunal;

(185) (ii) service of process;

(186) (iii) the giving of any relief by way of injunction or order for specific performance or for the recovery of any of its Assets;

(187) (iv) the issue of any process against any of its Assets for the enforcement of a judgement or, in an action in rem, for the arrest, detention or sale of any of its Assets; and

(188) (v) any process for execution of any award or judgment against any of its Assets.

(189) (b) The Guarantor agrees that in any proceedings in England this waiver shall have the fullest scope permitted by the English State Immunity Act 1978 and that this waiver is intended to be irrevocable for the purposes of the English State Immunity Act 1978.

(190) (c) Without limitation to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, in respect of any proceedings arising out of or in connection with the enforcement and/or execution of any award or judgement made against it, the Guarantor hereby submits to the jurisdiction of any court in which any such proceedings are brought.

(191) The Guarantor does not waive any immunity from enforcement in respect of any Excluded Assets.

(192) IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto, acting through their duly authorised representatives, have caused this Agreement to be signed in six copies as of the day and year first above written.

(262) ČLAN II – GARANCIJA; DRUGE OBAVEZE

(263) Odeljak 2.01 Garancija

(264) Garant neopozivo i bezuslovno:

(265) (a) garantuje Zajmodavcu uredno izvršenje svih obaveza Zajmoprimca prema Ugovoru o zajmu;

(266) (b) preuzima obavezu prema Zajmodavcu da svaki put kada Zajmoprimac ne plati bilo koji dospeli iznos prema ili u vezi sa Ugovorom o zajmu, Garant odmah na zahtev plati taj iznos kao da je glavni dužnik; i

(267) (c) saglasan je sa Zajmodavcem da će, ako bilo koja obaveza za koju garantuje bude ili postane nesprovodiva, nevažeća ili nezakonita, kao nezavisnu i primarnu obavezu, odmah na zahtev nadoknaditi Zajmodavca za bilo koji trošak, gubitak ili obavezu koju stekne kao rezultat toga što Zajmoprimac nije platio nikakav iznos koji bi bio dužan prema Ugovoru o zajmu na dan dospeća, da nije bilo slučaja takve nesprovodivosti, nevalidnosti ili nezakonitosti. Iznos koji Garant plaća po osnovu ove nadoknade neće premašiti iznos koji bi Garant morao da plati u skladu sa ovim Odeljkom 2.01 da je traženi iznos bio nadoknadiv na osnovu garancije.

(268) Odeljak 2.02 Projektna podrška

(269) Kada god postoji razuman osnov da se veruje kako će sredstva stavljena na raspolaganje Zajmoprimcu biti neadekvatna da pokriju procenjene troškove potrebne za izvođenje Projekta, Garant će odmah preduzeti mere koje su zadovoljavajuće za Zajmodavca da obezbedi ili omogući Zajmoprimcu da mu budu obezbeđena sredstva koja su potrebna da se isplate takvi rashodi i potraživanja.

(270) Odeljak 2.03 Druge obaveze

(272) (b) U slučaju kada se za bilo koju radnju, uslov ili stvar koje zahtevaju da se izvrše, ispune, postignu ili dostignu u skladu sa Ugovorom o zajmu zahteva preduzimanje bilo kakve radnje od strane Garanta kao jedinog akcionara Zajmoprimca, ili njegovo odobrenje, Garant će odmah preduzeti tu radnju ili dati odobrenje i, ne dovodeći u pitanje opštost prethodno navedenog, Garant će preduzeti sve radnje koje su mu na raspolaganju kao jedinom akcionaru Zajmoprimca kako bi osigurao da se ciljevi korporativnog upravljanja navedeni u Odeljku 3.01(d)(1) i Odeljak 3.01(d)(2)(D) Ugovora o zajmu sprovode blagovremeno.

(277) (g) Garant će obezbediti da se prva aukcija obnovljive energije u Srbiji pokrene za najmanje 400 MV snage vetra, u skladu sa procesom i rasporedom koji će u dobroj veri dogovoriti Garant sa tehničkim savetodavnim timom koji savetuje Ministarstvo rudarstva i energetike kao deo EBRD programa koji podržava sprovođenje aukcija obnovljivih izvora energije u Srbiji.

(278) (h) Garant će podržati sve zakonske i regulatorne inicijative (uključujući usvajanje zakonskih izmena) potrebne za podršku razvoju kratkoročnog tržišta električne energije i za spajanje tržišta električne energije u cilju povećanja likvidnosti i konkurentnosti tržišta.

(279) (i) Garant će usvojiti NEKP (Nacionalni energetski i klimatski plan) do 30. septembra 2024. godine, koji će postaviti cilj uključivanja od preko 45% obnovljivih izvora u proizvodnom miksu električne energije u Srbiji do 31. decembra 2030. godine.

(280) (j) Garant će podržati dekarbonizaciju privrede Srbije kroz prepoznavanje značajnog potencijala za unapređenje energetske efikasnosti u Republici Srbiji putem unapređenja energetske efikasnosti i promovisanja efikasnog korišćenja izvora energije, posebno (ali bez ograničenja) podržavanjem aktivnosti usmerenih na izgradnju i jačanje kapaciteta Uprave za finansiranje i unapređenje energetske efikasnosti za upravljanje fondovima Evropske unije, razvoj i promociju šema podrške investicijama u energetsku efikasnost u većem obimu sa posebnim fokusom na renoviranje zgrada.

(282) Garancija u Odeljku 2.01 je trajna garancija i proširuje se do krajnjeg bilansa iznosa koji plaća Zajmoprimac i/ili Garant prema Ugovoru o zajmu i ovom Sporazumu, bez obzira na bilo kakvo međuplaćanje ili oslobađanje od plaćanja u celini ili delimično.

(283) Odeljak 2.05 Obnova važenja Garancije

(284) Ukoliko je Zajmodavac u celini ili delimično izvršio bilo kakvo otpuštanje, oslobađanje ili drugi aranžman (bilo u vezi sa obavezama Zajmoprimca ili bilo kojim sredstvom obezbeđenja za te obaveze ili na drugi način), po osnovu bilo kakvog plaćanja, izvršenja obezbeđenja ili drugog raspolaganja koje je izbegnuto ili mora biti vraćeno u postupku stečaja, likvidacije, reorganizacije ili na neki drugi način, bez ograničenja, onda se odgovornost Garanta u skladu sa Članom II nastavlja ili ponovo uspostavlja kao da otpusta, oslobađanja ili drugog aranžmana nije bilo.

(285) Odeljak 2.06 Odricanje od odbrane

(286) Na obaveze Garanta prema ovom Članu II neće uticati radnja, propust, stvar ili način na koji bi se, osim za ovaj Odeljak 2.06, smanjile, oslobodile ili ugrozile bilo koje od njegovih obaveza u skladu sa Članom II (bez ograničenja da li je ili nije poznato Garantu ni Zajmodavcu), uključujući:

(290) (d) bilo kakvu nesposobnost ili nedostatak vlasti, ovlašćenja ili pravnog subjektiviteta ili prestanka ili promenu članova ili statusa Zajmoprimca ili bilo kog drugog lica;

(291) (e) svaku izmenu, promenu subjekata, dopunu, produženje, preinačenje (ma koliko suštinski i bez obzira na opterećenje) ili zamenu Ugovora o zajmu ili bilo kog drugog dokumenta ili sredstva obezbeđenja, uključujući bez ograničenja bilo kakvu promenu svrhe, produženje ili bilo koje povećanje postojeće kreditne linije ili dodavanje nove kreditne linije prema Ugovoru o zajmu ili drugom dokumentu ili sredstvu obezbeđenja;

(294) Odeljak 2.07 Neposredan regres

(295) Garant se odriče bilo kakvog prava na osnovu kojeg može zahtevati od Zajmodavca (ili bilo kog poverenika ili agenta u njegovo ime) da prvo pokrene postupak, sprovede bilo koja druga prava, izvrši sredstvo obezbeđenja ili zahteva isplatu od bilo kog lica pre nego što to od njega zatraži, po ovom Članu II. Ovo odricanje se primenjuje bez obzira na bilo koji zakon ili bilo koju suprotnu odredbu bilo kog sporazuma.

(299) Sve isplate koje Garant izvrši u skladu sa ovim Sporazumom biće oslobođene tereta i bez odbitka za ili na račun poreza osim ako je od Garanta zahtevano da takvo plaćanje učini podložnim odbitku ili zadržavanju poreza, u kom slučaju iznos koji plaća Garant (u vezi sa kojim je potrebno izvršiti takav odbitak ili zadržavanje) će se povećati u neophodnoj meri kako bi se obezbedilo da Zajmodavac primi sumu neto odbitka ili zadržavanja jednaku iznosu koji bi primio da takav odbitak ili zadržavanje nije izvršeno ili je potrebno da se izvrši.

(300) Odeljak 2.10 Saglasnosti i obaveštenja

(301) (a) Zajmodavac neće ulaziti ni u jednu Posebnu izmenu bez prethodne pismene saglasnosti Garanta.

(302) (b) Zajmodavac će dostaviti Garantu prethodno pismeno obaveštenje o svakoj predloženoj izmeni Ugovora o zajmu koja nije Posebna izmena. Radi izbegavanja sumnje, prethodna pismena saglasnost Garanta nije potrebna za bilo koju izmenu Ugovora o zajmu koja nije Posebna izmena.

(350) Odeljak 5.01 Merodavno pravo

(351) Ovaj Sporazum i sve vanugovorne obaveze koje iz njega proizilaze ili su u vezi sa njim, regulisane su engleskim pravom.

(352) Odeljak 5.02 Arbitraža

(353) (a) Arbitraža

(354) U skladu sa paragrafom (e) u nastavku (Opcija zajmodavca), svaki spor koji proističe iz ili u vezi sa ovim Sporazumom (uključujući spor koji se odnosi na postojanje, važenje ili prestanak ovog Sporazuma ili bilo koje vanugovorne obaveze koje proizilaze iz ili u vezi sa sa ovim Sporazumom) (dalje: „Spor”), biće upućen i konačno rešen arbitražom u skladu sa Arbitražnim pravilima Londonskog suda za međunarodnu arbitražu (LCIA).

(355) (b) Formiranje arbitražnog tribunala, sedište i jezik arbitraže

(356) (i) Arbitražni sud se sastoji od tri arbitra. Podnosilac(oci) zahteva, bez obzira na broj, zajednički imenuju jednog arbitra; tuženi, bez obzira na broj, zajedno će imenovati drugog arbitra, a trećeg arbitra (koji će delovati kao predsedavajući arbitar) će imenovati arbitri koji su imenovani od strane ili u ime tužioca i tuženog ili, u nedostatku sporazuma o trećem arbitru u roku od 30 dana od datuma imenovanja poslednjeg od dva imenovana arbitra, njega će izabrati Sud LCIA (kao što je definisano u LCIA Arbitražnim pravilima).

(358) (iii) Jezik arbitraže je engleski.

(359) (c) Pristup sudovima

(360) Za potrebe arbitraže u skladu sa ovim odeljkom 5.02 (Arbitraža), strane se odriču svakog prava na podnošenje zahteva za utvrđivanje preliminarnog pravnog pitanja ili žalbe u pogledu pravnog pitanja prema članovima 45. i 69. Zakona o arbitraži iz 1996. godine.

(361) (d) Konsolidacija arbitraža

(362) (i) Sledeće će se primeniti na sve sporove koji proizilaze iz ili su u vezi sa ovim Sporazumom i iz ili u vezi sa Ugovorom o zajmu u vezi sa kojima je Zahtev za arbitražu dostavljen (ili, gde je to nemoguće, efektivno obavešten) svim drugim stranama. U vezi sa bilo kojim takvim sporovima, ako su, prema apsolutnom nahođenju prvog arbitražnog suda koji će biti imenovan u bilo kom od sporova, oni toliko blisko povezani da je svrsishodno da se rešavaju u istom postupku, taj arbitražni sud će imati ovlašćenje da naredi da se postupak za rešavanje tog spora spoji sa onim za rešavanje bilo kog drugog spora, pod uslovom da nije određen datum završnog ročišta prve arbitraže. Ako taj arbitražni sud tako naredi, stranke u svakom sporu koji je predmet njegove naredbe smatraće se kao da su pristale da se o tom sporu konačno odluči:

(363) (A) od strane arbitražnog suda koji je naredio konsolidaciju, osim ako LCIA odluči da taj arbitražni sud nije prikladan ili nepristrasan; i

(364) (B) u skladu sa procedurom, u sedištu i na jeziku koji je naveden u Ugovoru o zajmu, osim ako se drugačije ne dogovore sve strane u konsolidovanom postupku ili, u nedostatku takvog sporazuma, arbitražni sud tako naloži u spojenom postupku.

(365) Svaki spor koji podleže ugovornoj opciji za parnicu može se konsolidovati samo u skladu sa paragrafom (i) ako:

(366) (C) korišćenje opcije prema kojoj je spor više nije dozvoljen u skladu sa uslovima pod kojima je opcija odobrena; ili

(367) (D) se od prava nosioca opcije da iskoristi opciju, u suprotnom, odustalo.

(368) (ii) Paragraf (i) iznad će se primenjivati čak i kada postoje ovlašćenja za spajanje postupaka prema bilo kojim važećim arbitražnim pravilima (uključujući pravila arbitražne institucije) i, u takvim okolnostima, odredbe paragrafa (i) iznad će se primenjivati dodatno tim ovlašćenjima.

(369) (e) Opcija Zajmodavca

(370) Pre nego što Zajmodavac dostavi LCIA Sekretarijatu Zahtev za arbitražu ili Odgovor kako je definisano u LCIA Arbitražnim pravilima (u zavisnosti od slučaja), Zajmodavac može pismenim obaveštenjem od Garanta zahtevati da se svi Sporovi ili konkretan Spor rešavaju pred sudom. Ako Zajmodavac izda takvo obaveštenje, Spor na koji se to obaveštenje odnosi biće određen u skladu sa odeljkom 5.03 (Nadležnost).

(371) Odeljak 5.03 Nadležnost

(372) Ako Zajmodavac izda obaveštenje u skladu sa Odeljkom 5.02(e) (Opcija Zajmodavca), primenjuju se odredbe ovog Odeljka 5.03 (Nadležnost).

(373) (a) Sudovi Engleske imaju isključivu nadležnost za rešavanje bilo kog spora.

(374) (b) Strane su saglasne da su sudovi u Engleskoj najprikladniji i najpogodniji sudovi za rešavanje Sporova i, shodno tome, nijedna strana neće tvrditi suprotno.

(375) (c) Bez obzira na stavove (a) i (b) iznad, Zajmodavac neće biti sprečen da pokrene postupak u vezi sa Sporom pred bilo kojim drugim nadležnim sudovima. U meri u kojoj je to dozvoljeno zakonom, Zajmodavac može pokrenuti paralelne postupke u bilo kojim jurisdikcijama.

(376) Odeljak 5.04 Uručenje pismena
