Under “Securities” of the terms and conditions it is stated: “First registered hypothecation charge over all present and future movable and immovable assets including books of debts on a pari-passu basis with other lender”. So authorisation to share the securities on a pari pasu basis is given. Under clause 9.1.1 the liabilities of Company 1 to BANK 2 under this Agreement will continue to rank at least equally and rateably (pari passu) in point of priority and security with all its other liabilities except : a) liabilities giving rise to liens or rights of set-off in the normal course of trading, the aggregate amount of which is not material; and b) liabilities which are preferred solely by law and not by reason of any encumbrance.” Moreover, according to clause 9.1.2, DBH will not create or permit to exist over all or any part of its business or assets (present or future) any encumbrances without the prior consent of BANK 2. So although BANK 2’s loan will rank at least equally and rateably (pari passu) with the previous lenders, but as CBC is a new lender, a No Objection Certificate (“NOC”) has to be obtained from BANK 2 regarding the accession to the pari pasu agreement. There is no clause in this agreement authorising sharing of the securities on a pari pasu basis. As such a NOC has to be obtained from IFC regarding the accession to the pari pasu agreement. According clause 17.2(v) of this agreement, unless expressly agreed otherwise by FMO, DBH shall not create or permit to exist any Lien on any property, revenues or other assets, present or future of DBH except in the situations contained in sub clauses a to c. As such a NOC has to be obtained from FMO regarding the accession to the pari pasu agreement. There is no clause in this agreement authorising sharing of the securities on a pari pasu basis. As such a NOC has to be obtained from IFC regarding the accession to the pari pasu agreement. |
