　　17.6 Cooperation with Project Lenders和項目貸方的合作
　　17.6.1. Seller intends that the Seller’s Mine will be financed on a limited-recourse basis through credit facilities entered into by Seller and certain banks (“Project Lenders”), and accordingly Buyer shall cooperate fully and in good faith with, and use its reasonable efforts to assist Seller in relation to the financing of the Seller’s Mine. In this regard, Buyer agrees to enter into one or, to the extent required, more direct agreements with the Project Lenders (or their agents), which direct agreements will contain, among other things, as they may be, customary or deemed necessary or advisable in accordance with market practices, obligations upon the Buyer to not, without the consent of the Project Lenders, (i) make any material amendments to the Agreement, (ii) waive or release any material obligations of the Seller under the Agreement and, (iii) agree any cancellation or termination of the Agreement as a result of a breach by the Seller without giving the Project Lenders (or their agents) notice thereof and the right to step in and cure such breach in the name of the Seller.
　　賣方計劃使其礦場，藉由賣方和一些銀行(項目貸方)所簽署的信用措施，得到有限追索性的借貸，加上買方的全力善意合作，幫助賣方取得礦場的借貸。在這方面，買方同意在需求的范圍內(nèi)，和項目貸方(或代理人)簽署一份或多份的直接協(xié)議，在這些直接協(xié)議包含的事項中，除了其它根據(jù)市場慣例、必須或建議事項，還包含買方在沒取得項目貸方的同意下， (i)不得在協(xié)議中做任何實質(zhì)修改，(ii)放棄或釋放本協(xié)議下賣方的責(zé)任， (iii)同意在賣方違約而沒有通知項目貸方(或其代理人)的情況下，任何對協(xié)議的取消或終止，還有以賣方名義介入并修補這樣的違背行為的權(quán)利。
