that Facility Lender shall within three (3) Banking Days notify the Facility Agent (which shall promptly notify each other Facility Lender); |
|||||
| 15.16.2 |
that Facility Lender shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the Excess Amount within ten (10) days of its receipt or recovery of the Excess Amount; and |

|||||
|
However, if a Facility Lender has commenced any legal proceedings to recover sums owing to it under the Facility Documents and, as a result of, or in connection with, those proceedings has received an Excess Amount, the Facility Agent shall not distribute any of that Excess Amount to any other Facility Lender which had been notified of the proceedings and had the legal right to, but did not, join those proceedings or commence and diligently prosecute separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court. |

Rescission of Excess Amount |

If a Facility Lender and KEXIM and K-Sure and GIEK (if applicable) does not provide the Facility Agent with instructions within that period, that Facility Lender and KEXIM and K-Sure and GIEK (if applicable) shall be bound by the decision of the Facility Agent. Nothing in this clause 15.18 shall limit the right of the Facility Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Facility Lenders, KEXIM, K-Sure, GIEK or the Majority Facility Lenders if the Facility Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Facility Lenders and KEXIM and K-Sure and GIEK (if applicable) under or in connection with the Facility Documents. In that event, the Facility Agent will notify the Facility Lenders and KEXIM and K-Sure and GIEK (if applicable) of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Facility Lenders and KEXIM and K-Sure and GIEK (if applicable) agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this clause 15.18. |
