(163) S OBZIROM NA TO DA je u skladu sa ugovorom o zajmu, sa datumom ovog ugovora, između Zajmoprimca i Banke („Ugovor o zajmu” kako je definisan u Standardnim uslovima poslovanja), Banka se saglasila da odobri zajam Zajmoprimcu u iznosu od 40.000.000 EUR (četrdeset miliona evra) saglasno uslovima utvrđenim ili na koje se poziva u Ugovoru o zajmu, ali samo pod uslovom da Garant garantuje za obaveze Zajmoprimca po osnovu Ugovora o zajmu, na način predviđen ovim ugovorom, i

(164) S OBZIROM NA TO DA se Garant, uzimajući u obzir da je Banka zaključila Ugovor o zajmu sa Zajmoprimcem, saglasio da garantuje za te obaveze Zajmoprimca.

(165) NA OSNOVU SVEGA NAVEDENOG, ugovorne strane su saglasne sa sledećim:

(166) ČLAN I – STANDARDNI USLOVI; DEFINICIJE

(167) Odeljak 1.01. Uključivanje Standardnih uslova poslovanja

(168) Sve odredbe Standardnih uslova poslovanja Banke od 1. oktobra 2018. godine se ovim uključuju u ovaj ugovor i važe za ovaj ugovor sa istom snagom i dejstvom kao da su u potpunosti navedene u ovom ugovoru.

(169) Odeljak 1.02. Definicije

(170) Gde god se koriste u ovom ugovoru (uključujući Preambulu), ukoliko nije drugačije navedeno ili ukoliko kontekst drugačije ne nalaže, izrazi definisani u Preambuli imaju odgovarajuća značenja koja su im data u njoj, izrazi definisani u Standardnim uslovima poslovanja i u Ugovoru o zajmu imaju odgovarajuća značenja koja su im u njima data, a sledeći izrazi imaju sledeća značenja:

(171) „Ovlašćeni predstavnik Garanta”

(172) znači ministar finansija Garanta.

(173) „Projekat”

(174) označava implementaciju sistema pametnih brojila (AMI/MDM sistem), uključujući nabavku i instalaciju mernih uređaja, srodnih IT sistema, softvera, integracije, konsultantskih usluga obuke, JIP-a i nadzora za podršku sprovođenju projekta i srodnih aktivnosti nadzora i puštanja u rad za komponentu ulaganja.

(175) Odeljak 1.03. Tumačenja

(176) U ovom ugovoru, pozivanje na neki konkretan član ili odeljak će se tumačiti, ukoliko nije drugačije navedeno u ovom ugovoru, kao pozivanje na taj konkretan član ili odeljak ovog ugovora.

(177) ČLAN II – GARANCIJA; DRUGE OBAVEZE

(178) Odeljak 2.01. Garancija

(179) Garant ovim bezuslovno garantuje, kao primarni dužnik, a ne samo kao jemac, propisno i pravovremeno plaćanje bilo kog pojedinačnog i svih iznosa koji dospevaju po Ugovoru o zajmu, bilo po navedenom dospeću, usled ubrzavanja ili na neki drugi način, kao i uredno izvršenje svih drugih obaveza Zajmoprimca, a sve u skladu sa Ugovorom o zajmu.

(180) Odeljak 2.02. Završetak Projekta

(181) Kada postoji opravdan razlog da se veruje da će sredstva raspoloživa Zajmoprimcu biti nedovoljna da pokriju procenjene rashode potrebne za sprovođenje Projekta, Garant će odmah preduzeti mere, zadovoljavajuće za Banku, da obezbedi Zajmoprimcu, ili će se postarati da Zajmoprimcu budu obezbeđena ona sredstva koja su mu potrebna za pokriće tih rashoda i potreba.
