The Borrower irrevocably agrees to pay the First Instalment, and to instruct the Lenders to pay the Second Instalment on behalf of the Borrower as follows:

Consequently, the Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs the Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders to pay the Second Instalment to SACE on the Drawdown Date in accordance with paragraph (c) of Clause 2.1 (Amount of facility) of this Agreement and to reimburse the Borrower by the Borrower drawing under the Loan the amount of the First Instalment in accordance with paragraph (b) of Clause 2.1 (Amount of facility) of this Agreement.
