Izplačilo

1.01 Znesek kredita

S to pogodbo banka daje v korist posojilojemalke in posojilojemalka

sprejema kredit (v nadaljevanju “kredit”) v znesku v protivrednosti

34 000 000 EUR (štiriintrideset milijonov evrov) za izključni namen delnega

financiranja projekta.

1.02 Postopki izplačila

A. Kredit je na voljo za črpanje posojilojemalki v eni tranši (v

nadaljevanju "tranša") do zneska v protivrednosti 34 milijonov EUR.

B. Izplačilo tranše se izvede na podlagi pisnega zaprosila (v nadaljevanju

"zaprosilo") posojilojemalke, v katerem se navedejo

(a) znesek, za katerega se prosi izplačilo po tej tranši;

(b) valuta, v kateri želi posojilojemalka, da se tranša izplača, pri

čemer je to valuta, omenjena v odstavku 1.03;

(c) ali naj bo tranša obrestovana s stalno obrestno mero (pri čemer se

taka tranša imenuje “tranša s stalno obrestno mero”, kot je

opredeljena v pododstavku 3.01 A) ali spremenljivo obrestno mero

(pri čemer se taka tranša imenuje “tranša s spremenljivo obrestno

mero”, kot je opredeljena v pododstavku 3.01 B);

(d) veljavna obrestna mera, če je takšno obrestno mero banka predhodno

navedla neobvezno kot obrestno mero, določeno v skladu z odstavkom

3.01;

(e) želeni roki posojilojemalke za vračanje, če so bili ti roki izbrani

v skladu z odstavkom 4.01, in

(f) želeni datum izplačila, pri čemer se razume, da lahko banka izplača

tranšo v največ štirih koledarskih mesecih od datuma posameznega

zaprosila.

Nobeno zaprosilo ne sme biti predloženo po 31. decembru 2004. Ob

upoštevanju pridržka k pododstavku 1.02 C je vsako zaprosilo

nepreklicno.

C. Od petnajst do deset dni pred datumom izplačila tranše pošlje banka, če

je zaprosilo skladno s pododstavkoma 1.02 A in B in ob upoštevanju

odstavkov 1.04 in 1.07, posojilojemalki obvestilo (v nadaljevanju

“obvestilo o izplačilu”), v katerem

(a) potrdi znesek in valuto tranše, navedene v zaprosilu;

(b) potrdi, ali bo to tranša s stalno obrestno mero ali tranša s

spremenljivo obrestno mero;

(c) navede obrestno mero, določeno na podlagi pododstavka 3.01 A ali

med prvim referenčnim obdobjem na podlagi pododstavka 3.01 B;

(d) določi pogoje odplačevanja, ki veljajo za to tranšo, in

(e) določi datum izplačila tranše.

Če en ali več elementov, navedenih v obvestilu o izplačilu, ni skladen z

ustreznim elementom v zaprosilu, lahko posojilojemalka v treh delovnih

dneh v Luxembourgu po prejemu obvestila o izplačilu zaprosilo prekliče z

obvestilom banki, nato pa zaprosilo in obvestilo o izplačilu nimata več

nobenega učinka.

D. Izplačilo tranše se izvede na tisti posojilojemalkin bančni račun, ki ga

je posojilojemalka sporočila banki najmanj deset dni pred datumom

izplačila.

1.03 Valuta izplačila

Glede na razpoložljivost izplača banka tranšo v valuti, ki jo je

posojilojemalka navedla kot želeno valuto. Valuta izplačila je evro, valuta

ene od držav članic banke, ki ne sodelujejo v tretji fazi EMU, ali katera

koli druga valuta, s katero se v večjem obsegu trguje na vodilnih

mednarodnih finančnih trgih in ki jo ima banka na razpolago za financiranje

po spremenljivi obrestni meri, če gre za tranšo s spremenljivo obrestno

mero.

Za izračun zneskov, ki se izplačajo v drugih valutah in ne evrih, uporabi

banka referenčne menjalne tečaje, ki jih izračunava in objavlja Evropska

centralna banka v Frankfurtu, sicer pa menjalne tečaje, ki veljajo na

katerem koli drugem finančnem trgu po izbiri banke na dan v obdobju

petnajstih dni pred datumom izplačila, kot se odloči banka.

1.04 Pogoji izplačila

A. Za izplačilo tranše na podlagi odstavka 1.02 se zahteva za banko

sprejemljiva izpolnitev naslednjih pogojev, in sicer da pred datumom

zaprosila

(a) državni pravobranilec posojilojemalke izda ugodno za banko

sprejemljivo pravno mnenje v angleškem jeziku o tem, da je

posojilojemalka pravilno podpisala to pogodbo in da je

dokumentacija ustrezna;

(b) posojilojemalka dostavi banki dokazilo o pooblastilu osebe ali

oseb, ki so pooblaščene za podpis zaprosila, ter overjen deponiran

podpis te osebe ali oseb in

(c) banka prejme podrobne podatke o osebi, ki jo je v skladu z

odstavkom 6.08 imenovalo Ministrstvo za promet Slovenije in je za

banko sprejemljiva.

B. Če posojilojemalka zaprosi za izplačilo tranše, preden je banka prejela

dokaz, ki je zanjo sprejemljiv, da so pogoji iz odstavka 1.04

izpolnjeni, se šteje, da je banka tako zaprosilo prejela na datum

izpolnitve pogojev.

1.05 Provizija za odlog izplačila

Če se izplačilo tranše odloži na zaprosilo posojilojemalke (s soglasjem

banke) ali zato, ker niso bili izpolnjeni pogoji za izplačilo, plača

posojilojemalka na neizplačani delež tranše provizijo za odlog izplačila po

stopnji 1% na leto, izračunano od prvotno določenega datuma izplačila do

dejanskega datuma izplačila, ali če tranša ni (v celoti) izplačana, do

datuma razveljavitve ali preklica tranše. Banka mora prejeti zaprosilo za

odlog izplačila vsaj osem dni pred prvotnim datumom izplačila. Takšna

provizija teče od dneva do dneva in zapade v plačilo na vsak četrtletni

datum, določen v odstavku 5.03.

1.06 Razveljavitev kredita

Če bi bili stroški projekta nižji od zneska, navedenega v uvodnih navedbah,

lahko banka z obvestilom posojilojemalki razveljavi neizplačani del kredita

v sorazmerju z zmanjšanjem zneska.

Posojilojemalka lahko kadar koli z obvestilom banki v celoti ali deloma

razveljavi kateri koli neizplačani del kredita.

Če posojilojemalka razveljavi tranšo in ustrezno zaprosilo posojilojemalke

ni bilo preklicano v skladu s pridržkom iz pododstavka 1.02 C, plača

provizijo, ki se izračuna od razveljavljenega zneska po pavšalni stopnji,

enaki polovični obrestni meri, navedeni v ustreznem obvestilu o izplačilu.

Takšna provizija se plača dodatno h kateri koli proviziji, ki jo je treba

plačati po odstavku 1.05.

Banka lahko z obvestilom posojilojemalki razveljavi kateri koli del

kredita, ki ni izplačan do 30. aprila 2005.

1.07 Preklic in odlog kredita

Banka lahko z obvestilom posojilojemalki prekliče neizplačani del kredita

kadar koli in s takojšnim učinkom

(a) ob kakršnem koli dogodku, omenjenem v pododstavku 10.01 A ali B,

ali

(b) ob izrednih okoliščinah, ki neugodno vplivajo na dostop banke na

nacionalne ali mednarodne trge kapitala,

vendar pa banka nima pravice, da iz razlogov pod (b) prekliče katero koli

tranšo, za katero je bilo že dano obvestilo o izplačilu.

Druga možnost je, da lahko banka, če meni, da je prišlo do okoliščin,

opisanih pod (a) ali (b), in so te začasne, z obvestilom posojilojemalki

odloži črpanje neizplačanega dela kredita. V takem primeru odlog izplačila

traja, dokler po izdaji naslednjega zaprosila banka znova ne izda obvestila

o izplačilu. Odlog izplačila pa ne pomeni podaljšanja roka do datuma za

razveljavitev kredita po odstavku 1.06.

Šteje se, da je kredit preklican, če banka zahteva odplačilo po 10. členu.

Če je kredit preklican iz drugih razlogov in ne zaradi okoliščin, omenjenih

v točki (b) prvega odstavka tega člena, plača posojilojemalka provizijo na

preklicani znesek neizplačane tranše, napovedane v obvestilu o izplačilu,

po letni stopnji 0,75%, izračunano od datuma ustreznega obvestila o

izplačilu do datuma preklica.

Takšna provizija se plača dodatno h kateri koli proviziji, ki se plača po

členu 1.06.

1.08 Valuta provizij

Provizije, ki jih mora posojilojemalka plačati banki po tem 1. členu, se

izračunajo in plačajo v evrih.

1.05 Deferment Commission

If disbursement of the Tranche is deferred at the request of the Borrower

(with the consent of the Bank), or by reason of the non-fulfilment of a

condition of disbursement, the Borrower shall pay deferment commission on

the undisbursed portion of the Tranche at an annual rate of 1%, calculated

(b) if exceptional circumstances shall arise which adversely affect the

Bank's access to national or international capital markets,

provided that the Bank shall not be entitled to cancel, on grounds of case

(b), any Tranche which has been the subject of a Disbursement Notice.

Alternatively, if the Bank is of the opinion that a situation described in

Indent (a) and (b) has arisen and is temporary, it may by notice to the

Borrower suspend the undisbursed portion of the Credit. In such case, the

suspension shall continue until, following a further Request, the Bank is

again in a position to issue a Disbursement Notice. Suspension shall not

mentioned under Indent (b) above, the Borrower shall pay a commission on

ARTICLE 4

Repayment

The Borrower shall repay the Tranche on the dates indicated in the

Disbursement Notice in equal principal instalments in accordance with the

terms of the repayment schedule specified in the relevant statement

mentioned in Paragraph 2.04 (which schedule shall form part of this

Contract) provided that

annual date specified in Paragraph 5.03 falling immediately after the

fourth anniversary of the date of disbursement of the Tranche;

(b) the last repayment date shall not fall prior to the first date

specified in Paragraph 5.03 falling immediately after the fourth

anniversary of the date of disbursement of the Tranche nor later than

the nearest semi-annual date specified in Paragraph 5.03 immediately

preceding the fifteenth anniversary of such date of disbursement.

4.02 Voluntary Prepayment

A. The Borrower may prepay all or part of the Loan upon giving thirty

days' written notice (hereinafter a "Prepayment Notice") specifying the

amount (the "Prepayment Amount") to be prepaid and the proposed date of

prepayment (the "Prepayment Date"), which shall be a date specified in

Paragraph 5.03 Indent (a) for a Fixed-Rate Tranche and Paragraph 5.03

Indent (b) for a Variable-Rate Tranche (each a "Payment Date"). In the

case of Fixed-Rate Tranches prepayment shall be subject to the payment

by the Borrower of the compensation, if any, due to the Bank in

accordance with the provisions of Sub-paragraphs B and C below.

B. The amount of compensation due on a Fixed-Rate Tranche shall be the

amount of the shortfall in interest incurred by the Bank in respect of

each year ending on successive Payment Dates falling after the

Prepayment Date calculated in the manner stated in the following Sub

paragraph and discounted in accordance with Sub-paragraph C.

The amount of the shortfall shall be calculated as the amount by which

(x) the interest that would have been payable during that year on

the prepaid part of the Loan

exceeds

(y) the interest which would have been so payable during that year

if calculated at the Reference Rate; for which purpose the

"Reference Rate" means the rate of interest (reduced by 15

(fifteen) basis points) which the Bank determines on the date

falling one month prior to the Prepayment Date to be the

standard rate for a loan quoted by the Bank in the relevant

currency, having the same financial characteristics as the

loan, in particular the same periodicity for the payment of

interest, the same remaining life to maturity and the same type

of repayment profile.

C. Each amount so calculated shall be discounted to the Prepayment Date by

applying a discount rate equal to the rate determined pursuant to

indent (y) of Sub-paragraph 4.02B.

D. The Bank shall give notice to the Borrower of the compensation due or,

as the case may be, of the absence of compensation by 12:00 Luxembourg

time on a business day in Luxembourg and Ljubljana following delivery

of a Prepayment Notice. If by 17:00. Luxembourg time on the date of the

notification (if that was given by 12:00 or otherwise by 12:00 next

business day in Luxembourg and Ljubljana) the Borrower fails to confirm

in writing its intention to effect prepayment on the terms notified by

the Bank, the Prepayment Notice shall be of no effect. Save as

aforesaid, the Borrower shall be obliged to effect payment in

accordance with the Prepayment Notice, together with accrued interest

on the Prepayment Amount as well as any sum due under this Paragraph

4.02.

4.03 Compulsory Prepayment

A. If the Borrower voluntarily prepays a part or the whole of any other

loan originally contracted for a term of more than five years, the Bank

may demand prepayment of such proportion of the amount of the Loan then

outstanding as the prepaid sum bears to the aggregate outstanding

pododstavkom C.

Znesek primanjkljaja se izračuna kot znesek, za katerega

(x) obresti, ki bi jih bilo treba plačati med tem letom na predčasno

odplačani del posojila,

presegajo

(y) obresti, ki bi jih bilo treba plačati med tem letom, če bi se

izračunale po referenčni obrestni meri; v ta namen pomeni

“referenčna obrestna mera” obrestno mero (zmanjšano za 15

(petnajst) bazičnih točk), ki jo banka določi na datum, ki nastopi

en mesec pred datumom predčasnega odplačila, kot standardno

obrestno mero za posojilo, ki ga je banka ponudila v ustrezni

valuti in ima enake finančne značilnosti kot to posojilo, zlasti

enako periodičnost za plačilo obresti, enako preostalo dobo do

zapadlosti in enak način odplačevanja.

C. Vsak tako izračunan znesek se diskontira na datum predčasnega odplačila

z uporabo diskontne stopnje, ki je enaka stopnji, določeni na podlagi

točke (y) pododstavka 4.02 B.

D. Banka obvesti posojilojemalko o dolgovanem nadomestilu oziroma o tem,

da takega nadomestila ni, do 12. ure po luksemburškem času na delovni

dan v Luxembourgu in Ljubljani, ki sledi dostavi obvestila o predčasnem

odplačilu. Če do 5. ure popoldne po luksemburškem času na datum

obvestila (če je bilo to dano do 12. ure, sicer pa do 12. ure

naslednjega delovnega dne v Luxembourgu in Ljubljani) posojilojemalka

pisno ne potrdi svoje namere, da bo izvedla predčasno odplačilo po

pogojih, o katerih jo je banka obvestila, nima obvestilo o predčasnem

odplačilu nobenega učinka. Razen navedenega mora posojilojemalka

izvesti plačilo v skladu z obvestilom o predčasnem odplačilu skupaj z

natečenimi obrestmi na znesek predčasnega odplačila in plačati vsak

znesek, dolgovan po tem odstavku 4.02.

4.03 Obvezno predčasno odplačilo

A. Če posojilojemalka prostovoljno predčasno odplača del ali celoto

katerega koli drugega posojila, ki je bilo prvotno dano za več kot

petletno obdobje, lahko banka zahteva predčasno odplačilo takšnega

deleža zneska tedaj še neodplačanega posojila, kot predčasno plačani

znesek pomeni v skupnem neodplačanem znesku vseh takšnih posojil.

Banka naslovi svoj morebitni zahtevek na posojilojemalko v štirih

tednih od prejema ustreznega obvestila po pododstavku 8.02 (b) (i).

Vsak znesek, ki ga banka zahteva, je treba plačati skupaj z natečenimi

obrestmi na datum, ki ga banka navede, pri čemer ta datum ne sme biti

pred datumom predčasnega odplačila drugega posojila.

Predčasno odplačilo posojila s pomočjo novega posojila, ki ima vsaj

tako dolg rok, kot je nepotekli rok predčasno odplačanega posojila, se

ne šteje za predčasno odplačilo.

B. Če bi bila skupna vrednost projekta bistveno nižja od zneska,

navedenega v uvodnih navedbah, lahko banka v sorazmerju s to razliko

zahteva predčasno odplačilo posojila.

C. Če je odloženo ali preklicano izplačilo sredstev ISPA ali če mora

posojilojemalka vrniti sredstva ISPA za kateri koli podprojekt, lahko

banka zahteva, da se posojilojemalka z njo posvetuje. Tako posvetovanje

je treba opraviti v tridesetih dneh od datuma take zahteve banke.

Če banka povsem po svoji presoji odloči, da razlogi za zahtevani odlog,

preklic ali vračilo sredstev ISPA pomembno negativno vplivajo ali bi

lahko negativno vplivali na nadaljnje izvajanje projekta

posojilojemalke, lahko banka zahteva, da posojilojemalka predčasno

odplača posojilo skupaj z natečenimi obrestmi in morebitno odškodnino,

izračunano v skladu s pododstavkom 4.02 B in C. Posojilojemalka plača

zahtevani znesek na datum, ki ga banka navede, pri čemer pa ta datum ne

sme biti prej kot trideset dni po datumu zahteve.

navede račun najmanj petnajst dni pred datumom zapadlosti prvega plačila

posojilojemalke in jo obvesti o vsaki spremembi računa najmanj petnajst dni

pred datumom prvega plačila, za katero sprememba velja.

Ta obvestilni rok pa ne velja za plačilo po 10. členu.

5.02 Izračun plačil, ki se nanašajo na del leta

Kateri koli znesek, ki ga mora plačati posojilojemalka po tej pogodbi za

obresti, provizijo ali drugo in je izračunan za kateri koli del leta, se

izračuna

(a) na podlagi leta iz tristo šestdesetih dni in

a. za tranšo s stalno obrestno mero na podlagi meseca iz tridesetih

dni

(ii) za tranšo s spremenljivo obrestno mero na podlagi števila poteklih

dni ali

septembra vsakega leta, in

(b) vsakega četrt leta po tej pogodbi, se plačajo banki 15. marca, 15.

junija, 15. septembra in 15. decembra vsakega leta.

Vsako plačilo, ki zapade v plačilo na dan, ki ni delovni dan, se plača

prvi naslednji delovni dan. “Delovni dan” pomeni dan, ko so banke

odprte za poslovanje v finančnem središču države, katere nacionalna

valuta je valuta zapadlega zneska, pri čemer za evro delovni dan pomeni

dan izvedbe naloga za plačilo ali prenakazilo v evrih prek evro sistema

poravnav, imenovanega Vseevropski avtomatski ekspresni sistem bruto

poravnav v realnem času ("TARGET").

Drugi zneski, ki zapadejo v plačilo po tej pogodbi, se plačajo, če ni

drugače določeno, v sedmih dneh, potem ko je posojilojemalka prejela

zahtevo banke za plačilo.

Znesek, ki ga dolguje posojilojemalka, se šteje za plačanega, ko ga

banka prejme.

PRILOGA A

SLOVENIJA – PROJEKT SEKTORJA ŽELEZNIŠKEGA PROMETA

Tehnični opis

Projekt sestavljajo trije podprojekti, ki se financirajo tudi po programu pomoči ISPA. Različne rešitve, ki naj bi se financirale, so med drugim posodobitev proge, izboljšanje signalnih naprav in daljinsko upravljanje stabilnih naprav, in sicer

1) Obnovitev useka Križni vrh z obnovo odsekov proge Zidani Most–Maribor

Ta podprojekt sestavljajo naslednja dela

Usek Križni vrh

a. Obnova zidov useka v dolžini 416 m skupaj z obnovo brežin

b. Obnova grede tira skupaj z drenažo na enaki dolžini proge

c. Obnova nadvišanja proge med km 563+346 in km 564+860

Odsek proge od Poljčan do km 563+346

– obnova spodnjega in zgornjega ustroja proge

Obnova tirov na postaji Ponikva

– obnova spodnjega in zgornjega ustroja tirov 1, 2 in 3 na postaji ali na uvozu na postajo.

i. Posodobitev signalnovarnostnih naprav na progi Divača–Koper

Ta podprojekt sestavljajo: posodobitev sistema signalnovarnostnih naprav na enotirni progi med Divačo in Koprom, tako da bo ta proga lahko vključena v skupni osrednji prometni center, od koder se bo v prihodnje upravljal ves slovenski železniški promet. Posodobitev vključuje brezprekinitveno napajanje, kretniške grelce, avtomatizacijo cestnih prehodov, informacijske sisteme in druga dela ter bo izboljšala varnost, zmanjšala stroške vzdrževanja, povečala zmogljivost prog in omogočila zmanjšanje števila osebja.

ii. Železniška proga Ljubljana–Maribor; nadgradnja za večje hitrostjo (1. in 2. faza)

Dela vključujejo posege na sedmih prednostnih odsekih, izbranih po analizi z merjenjem geometrije proge in vizualnim pregledom. Med deli so zamenjava tirov z UIC 60, kretnic z UIC60-300-6, obnova spodnjega ustroja in posodobitev signalnovarnostnih in napajalnih naprav na postajah Kresnice, Sava, Trbovlje, Hoče, odseku proge Hoče–Maribor, postaji Maribor Tezno in na progi od postaje Maribor Tezno do Maribora.

Projekt naj bi bil končan do decembra 2004.
