are leased to the Project Company for a duration of 28
years.
Declaration of Trust
The Issuer and the Sukuk Trustee shall enter into a trust
deed (“Trust Deed”), pursuant to which the Issuer shall
inter alia, declare a trust over the Asset (as defined in this
paragraph 3(c) below) including the rights, title, interest
and benefit, present and future, under the Grant of Right
Agreement (as defined in this paragraph 3(c) below), the
Ijarah Agreement (as defined in this paragraph 3(c)
below) and the Servicing Agency Agreement (as defined
in this paragraph 3(c) below) (collectively the “Trust
Asset”) in favour of the Sukuk Trustee (acting on behalf
of the Sukukholders which term shall include any holders
of the Sukuk TNB WE from time to time
(“Sukukholders”)) for the benefit of the Sukukholders.
Pursuant to a declaration of trust (“Declaration of
Trust”), the Issuer shall act as the trustee for the benefit
of the Sukuk Trustee (acting on behalf of the
Sukukholders) to exercise the rights, powers, authorities
and discretions specifically given to the Issuer under or in
connection with the Grant of Right Agreement, the Ijarah
7 | P a g e
Agreement and the Servicing Agency Agreement
together with any other incidental rights, powers,
authorities and discretions, as the case may be. Grant of Right Agreement The Project Company (in its capacity as grantor
(“Grantor”)) shall enter into a grant of right agreement
(“Grant of Right Agreement”) with the Issuer (in its
capacity as “Grantee”) acting on behalf of the
Sukukholders, in accordance with the Trust Deed and the
Grant of Right Agreement, to grant the right over the use
of the Project Lands and to derive the benefits and
usufruct rights over the use of the Project Lands for a
period of 28 years or such period as corresponding to the
lease term in the SLA with an option to be extendable for
another 28 years (the “Asset”) subject to the PPA term
being extended as set out in the SLAs (“Grant of Right”).
The Grantee will make a single upfront rental payment
(“One-off Rental”) to the Grantor, which amount shall be
equivalent to the aggregate proceeds to be raised from
the issuance of the Sukuk TNB WE.
Ijarah Agreement Upon obtaining the Asset, the Issuer (in its capacity as a
lessor (“Lessor”)) acting on behalf of the Sukukholders),
shall enter into a lease agreement (“Ijarah Agreement”)
with the Project Company (in its capacity as a lessee
(“Lessee”)) to lease the Asset to the Lessee, for a tenor
corresponding to the maturity of the tranche with the
longest tenor of the Sukuk TNB WE i.e more than 1 year
and not exceeding 27 years (“Lease Period”) in
consideration for pre-determined Ijarah rental payments
(the “Lease Rentals”). For the avoidance of doubt, the
Lease Period shall not exceed the tenor of the Grant of
Right Agreement.
Issuance of Sukuk TNB WE The Issuer shall issue Sukuk TNB WE to the Sukukholders which represent the Sukukholders’ undivided proportionate beneficial interest, rights and entitlements under the Trust Asset. The proceeds from Sukuk TNB WE shall be utilised to pay the Grantor the One-off Rental under the Grant of Right Agreement. Total Lease Rentals, First Lease Rental and Periodic
Distribution Amounts The Total Lease Rentals under the Ijarah Agreement shall be the aggregate of (i) the nominal value of each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE and (ii) the aggregate Periodic Distribution Amount (as defined in
8 | P a g e
paragraph 3(j) below) of the Sukuk TNB WE. The Periodic Distribution Amounts are the rental payments due and payable under the Sukuk TNB WE to the Sukukholders at the relevant Periodic Distribution Dates (as defined in paragraph 3(j) below).
The first Lease Rental shall be the aggregate of (i) the
nominal value of each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk
TNB WE and (ii) the first Periodic Distribution Amounts of
each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE (“First
Lease Rental”). However, only the first Periodic
Distribution Amounts of each outstanding tranche of the
Sukuk TNB WE would be due and payable on the first
periodic distribution date while the nominal value of each
outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE would be due
on the first periodic distribution date but payable on the
date of the declaration of Dissolution Event (the
“Dissolution Date”), the Early Redemption Date (as
defined in paragraph 3(x)(ii) below), the Mandatory
Redemption Date (as defined in this paragraph 3(c)) or
the respective scheduled maturity date being, the date on
which the relevant outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB
WE in question is due to be redeemed (the “Maturity
Date”) (whichever is the earliest) of the relevant
outstanding tranches of the Sukuk TNB WE.
For the avoidance of doubt,
(A) On the Dissolution Date, the Lease Rentals under
the Ijarah Agreement shall be immediately due and
payable by the Lessee to the Lessor which amount
shall be the aggregate of (i) the nominal value of
each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE and
(ii) all accrued but unpaid Periodic Distribution
Amounts of each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk
TNB WE accrued to the Dissolution Date
(“Redemption Amount”).
(B) On the relevant Maturity Date of the Sukuk TNB
WE, the Lease Rentals due and payable by the
Lessee to the Lessor for each tranche of the Sukuk
TNB WE shall be the aggregate of (i) the last
Periodic Distribution Amount and (ii) the nominal
value of the relevant maturing Sukuk TNB WE
(“Settlement Amount”).
(C) On the relevant Early Redemption Date (where
applicable), the Lease Rentals due and payable by
the Lessee to the Lessor shall be the Early
Redemption Amount (as defined in paragraph
3(y)(xiii) below).
(D) On the date of occurrence of a Total Loss Event, the
Lease Rentals due and payable by the Lessee to
the Lessor shall be the Mandatory Redemption
Amount (as defined in paragraph 3(y)(xii) below).
9 | P a g e
On the Dissolution Date or the date of occurrence of a
Total Loss Event (“Mandatory Redemption Date”), the
Ijarah Agreement and the Grant of Rights Agreement will
be terminated and the entire Asset (being the
proportionate undivided rights over the use of the Project
Lands for the remaining period of the Grant of Right from
the Sukukholders of all tranches of the Sukuk TNB WE)
will automatically be reverted to the Grantor for the
payment of the Redemption Amount or the Mandatory
Redemption Amount, as the case may be.
On the relevant Maturity Date or Early Redemption Date
of the Sukuk TNB WE, the Ijarah Agreement and the
Grant of Rights Agreement will not be terminated but the
relevant Asset (being the proportionate undivided rights
over the use of the Project Lands for the remaining period
of the Grant of Right from the Sukukholders of the
relevant tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE) will automatically
be reverted to the Grantor for the payment of the
Settlement Amount or the Early Redemption Amount (as
the case may be) respectively.
For the avoidance of doubt, any double counting in
respect of the Redemption Amount, Mandatory
Redemption Amount, Settlement Amount or Early
Redemption Amount shall be disregarded.
Upon receipt by the Lessor from the Lessee of the Lease
Rentals on the relevant rental payment dates which
would coincide with the relevant periodic distribution
dates, the Dissolution Date, Maturity Date, Early
Redemption Date and Mandatory Redemption Date of
the relevant Sukuk TNB WE as the case may be, the
Issuer will use such amounts received to make payments
under the relevant Sukuk TNB WE to the Sukukholders.
Servicing Agency Agreement
Under the Ijarah Agreement, the Lessor shall be
responsible to procure Takaful/insurance in connection
with the Asset and the Lessee has acknowledged that the
Lessor may procure the services of a servicing agent
(“Servicing Agent”) or its representatives, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set out in a servicing
agency agreement (the “Servicing Agency
Agreement”), including but not limited to perform the
payment of Takaful/ insurance under a Total Loss Event.
To the extent that the Servicing Agent incurs any costs/
expenses in relation to procuring the Takaful/ insurance
(“Service Charge Amount”), the Lease Rentals under
10 | P a g e
the Ijarah Agreement will provide for supplementary
rental (forming part of the Lease Rentals) which will be an
amount equal to Service Charge Amount incurred
(“Supplementary Lease Rentals”).
The obligation of the Issuer to pay the Service Charge
Amount shall be set off against the Supplementary Lease
Rentals due from the Lessee.
Upon the occurrence of a Total Loss Event, the Ijarah
Agreement will be terminated. The Sukuk TNB WE will be
redeemed in accordance with the provisions on
Mandatory Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, in
the event of a partial loss which is repairable, the Ijarah
Agreement will not be terminated, the provisions on
Mandatory Redemption will not be applicable and the
proceeds from the Takaful/insurance proceeds would be
used to make good such damage. The Asset will not be
substituted upon the occurrence of a Total Loss Event or
a partial loss.
Pursuant to the Servicing Agency Agreement, the Issuer
(in its capacity as the Lessor), acting on behalf of the
Sukukholders shall appoint the Lessee as the Servicing
Agent for a servicing agent fee of RM100.00 throughout
the Lease Period to carry out certain obligations. The
Servicing Agent shall be responsible to procure Takaful/
insurance in connection with the Asset that provides
sufficient proceeds for the redemption of the Sukuk TNB
WE under a Total Loss Event. If the Takaful/ insurance
proceeds are insufficient to cover the redemption amount
due under the Sukuk TNB WE, the Servicing Agent shall
be liable to make good the difference. Any excess from
Takaful/insurance proceeds over the Mandatory
Redemption Amount, shall be paid to the Servicing Agent
as an incentive fee.
Wakalah Agreement
Pursuant to a Wakalah Agreement, the Project Company
shall appoint the Issuer as its agent (“Wakeel”) to provide
certain services for a wakalah fee of RM100.00, for a
period corresponding to the period of the construction
and delivery of the Plant to the Project Company under
the Turnkey Contract (as defined in this paragraph 3(c)
below). The Wakeel shall be responsible to:
(i) manage the One-off Rental paid to the Project
Company as Grantor in a Shariah compliant
manner;
(ii) subject to the instructions of the Project
Company, to make payments including;
11 | P a g e
(a) payment on behalf of the Project Company (as
Lessee) of the Lease Rentals to the Lessor;
(b) any other payments or cost in relation to the
Project corresponding to Item 3(m) below.
The Wakalah Agreement shall cease upon the completed Plant being delivered to the Project Company under the Turnkey Contract. Thereafter, the Project Company as Lessee will pay the Lease Rentals directly to the Lessor, who in turn will channel to Sukukholders.
“Turnkey Contract” means the contract between the Project Company and the Issuer, whereby the Issuer will procure the execution of the Project on a turnkey basis and administer and manage the development of the Project on behalf of the Project Company.

(xi) Sponsor’s Equity
Contribution
: Refers to all shareholder equity contribution and
commitment (including the Sponsor’s undertaking in the
Sponsor’s Completion Support to inject the Sponsor’s
equity contribution into the Project in accordance with
the Base Case Cashflow Projections ) made directly or
indirectly by the Sponsor in relation to the Project
whether in the form of ordinary share capital, preferred
shares, redeemable preference shares or subordinated
shareholder loans/financing, and including any equity
bridge financing undertaken by the Issuer and/or Project
Company but guaranteed by the Sponsor.
(xii) Mandatory
Redemption
Upon the occurrence of a Total Loss Event (“Mandatory
Redemption Event”), the Project Company shall
immediately notify by written notice to the Sukuk Trustee
and the Issuer.
In such event, the Issuer shall redeem the relevant
Sukuk TNB WE at the nominal value of the relevant
outstanding Sukuk TNB WE and all accrued and unpaid
Periodic Distribution Amount thereon (“Mandatory
Redemption Amount”), using the proceeds of
Takaful/insurance (including, where applicable, the
amount payable by the Servicing Agent pursuant to the
Servicing Agency Agreement) as soon as practicable
upon receiving the same. If the Takaful/insurance
proceeds are insufficient to cover the Mandatory
Redemption Amount, the Servicing Agent shall
irrevocably and unconditionally undertake to make good
the difference and shall immediately make such
requisite payment to the Issuer if sufficient proceeds of
Takaful/insurance have not been received within thirty
(30) days after the occurrence of a Mandatory
Redemption Event.
“Total Loss Event” is the total loss or destruction of, or
damage to the whole (and not part only) of the Asset
under the Grant of Right Agreement and Ijarah
Agreement and the Plant on the Project Lands or any
event or occurrence that renders the whole (and not part
only) of the Asset and the Plant on the Project Lands
permanently unfit for any economic use and the repair
or remedial work in respect thereof is wholly
uneconomical.

(xiii) Early
Redemption
Amount
: The Early Redemption Amount for each particular
tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE is the higher of (i) the
nominal value of that particular tranche of Sukuk TNB
WE or (ii) the early redemption sum based on the
following formula (which calculation by the Facility
Agent shall be final and binding):
(NV x ERP)
100
Where:
“NV” means the aggregate nominal value of the Sukuk
TNB WE to be redeemed; and
“ERP” means the early redemption price per RM100
(rounded to 2 decimal places) subject to a minimum of
RM100,calculated as follows:-
ERP
100
+
N
∑
K=1
[100x(profit /2)]
= [1+(YTM/2)](N-1)
[1 + (YTM/2)](k-1)
Where:
N = number of Periodic Distribution
Date(s) between the scheduled
redemption date and the Early
Redemption Date, inclusive of both
the scheduled redemption date and
the Early Redemption Date.
Profit = Periodic Distribution Rate of the
particular tranche of the Sukuk TNB
WE expressed as a percentage per
annum.
YTM = Reference MGS plus a percentage to
be mutually agreed between the
Issuer and the JLAs.
“Reference MGS” shall be the rates for the
Malaysian Government Securities for the tenure
which is equal to the remaining tenure of the
tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE and shall be
determined from:
(a) first, the latest consolidated Government Securities
Rates (Conventional) published by BNM daily, 2
business days prior to the date that the Early
Redemption Notice is received by the Sukuk Trustee
or in the case where the rate for a particular tenure is
50 | P a g e
not available directly, then such a rate shall be
extrapolated on a linear basis using the consolidated
Government Securities Rates (Conventional)
published; or
(b) if (i) above is not available, the arithmetic average of
the mid-rates quoted by any 5 Principal Dealers, 2
business days prior to the date that the Early
Redemption Notice is received by the Sukuk Trustee
or in the case where the rate for a particular tenure is
not available directly, then such a rate shall be
extrapolated on a linear basis using the available
arithmetic average mid-rates.
“Principal Dealers” are banking institutions
appointed by BNM as principal dealers.
(xiv) Taxation : All payments by any of the Issuer, the Project Company
and the Guarantor shall be made without withholding or
deductions for or on account of any present or future tax,
duty or charge of whatsoever nature imposed or levied by
or on behalf of Malaysia or any other applicable
jurisdictions, or any authority thereof or therein having
power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction is
required by law, in which event the payer shall not be
required to make such additional amount so that the
payee would receive the full amount which the payee
would have received if no such withholding or deductions
are made.

Appendix 1
Structure Diagram
Step 1 Declaration of Trust
The Issuer and the Sukuk Trustee shall enter into a trust deed (“Trust Deed”),
pursuant to which the Issuer shall inter alia, declare a trust over the Asset (as
defined in Step 2 below) including the rights, title, interest and benefit, present
and future, under the Grant of Right Agreement (as defined in Step 2 below), the
Ijarah Agreement (as defined in Step 3 below) and the Servicing Agency
Agreement (as defined in Step 5 below) (collectively the “Trust Asset”) in favour
of the Sukuk Trustee (acting on behalf of the Sukukholders which term shall
include any holders of the Sukuk TNB WE from time to time (“Sukukholders”))
for the benefit of the Sukukholders. Pursuant to a declaration of trust
(“Declaration of Trust”), the Issuer shall act as the trustee for the benefit of the
Sukuk Trustee (acting on behalf of the Sukukholders) to exercise the rights,
powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Issuer under or in
connection with the Grant of Right Agreement, the Ijarah Agreement and the
Servicing Agency Agreement together with any other incidental rights, powers,
authorities and discretions, as the case may be.
Step 2 Grant of Right Agreement
The Project Company (in its capacity as grantor (“Grantor”)) shall enter into a grant of right agreement (“Grant of Right Agreement”) with the Issuer (in its capacity as “Grantee”) acting on behalf of the Sukukholders, in accordance with the Trust Deed and the Grant of Right Agreement, to grant the right over the use of the Project Lands and to derive the benefits and usufruct rights over the use of the Project Lands for a period of 28 years or such period as corresponding to

the lease term in the SLA with an option to be extendable for another 28 years (the “Asset”) subject to the PPA term being extended as set out in the SLAs (“Grant of Right”). The Grantee will make a single upfront rental payment (“One-off Rental”) to the Grantor, which amount shall be equivalent to the aggregate proceeds to be raised from the issuance of the Sukuk TNB WE.
Step 3 Ijarah Agreement
Upon obtaining the Asset, the Issuer (in its capacity as a lessor (“Lessor”))
acting on behalf of the Sukukholders), shall enter into a lease agreement (“Ijarah
Agreement”) with the Project Company (in its capacity as a lessee (“Lessee”))
to lease the Asset to the Lessee, for a tenor corresponding to the maturity of the
tranche with the longest tenor of the Sukuk TNB WE i.e more than 1 year and
not exceeding 27 years (“Lease Period”) in consideration for pre-determined
Ijarah rental payments (the “Lease Rentals”). For the avoidance of doubt, the
Lease Period shall not exceed the tenor of the Grant of Right Agreement.
Total Lease Rentals, First Lease Rental and Periodic Distribution Amounts
The Total Lease Rentals under the Ijarah Agreement shall be the aggregate of (i) the nominal value of each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE and (ii) the aggregate Periodic Distribution Amount (as defined in paragraph 3(j) of the PTC) of the Sukuk TNB WE. The Periodic Distribution Amounts are the rental payments due and payable under the Sukuk TNB WE to the Sukukholders at the relevant Periodic Distribution Dates (as defined in paragraph 3(j) of the PTC).
The first Lease Rental shall be the aggregate of (i) the nominal value of each
outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE and (ii) the first Periodic Distribution
Amounts of each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE (“First Lease
Rental”). However, only the first Periodic Distribution Amounts of each
outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE would be due and payable on the first
periodic distribution date while the nominal value of each outstanding tranche of
the Sukuk TNB WE would be due on the first periodic distribution date but
payable on the date of the declaration of Dissolution Event (the “Dissolution
Date”), the Early Redemption Date (as defined in paragraph 3(x)(ii) of the PTC),
the Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein below) or the respective
scheduled maturity date being, the date on which the relevant outstanding
tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE in question is due to be redeemed (the “Maturity
Date”) (whichever is the earliest) of the relevant outstanding tranches of the
Sukuk TNB WE.
For the avoidance of doubt,
(A) On the Dissolution Date, the Lease Rentals under the Ijarah Agreement
shall be immediately due and payable by the Lessee to the Lessor which amount
shall be the aggregate of (i) the nominal value of each outstanding tranche of the
Sukuk TNB WE and (ii) all accrued but unpaid Periodic Distribution Amounts of
each outstanding tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE accrued to the Dissolution Date
(“Redemption Amount”).
(B) On the relevant Maturity Date of the Sukuk TNB WE, the Lease Rentals
due and payable by the Lessee to the Lessor for each tranche of the Sukuk TNB
WE shall be the aggregate of (i) the last Periodic Distribution Amount and (ii) the
nominal value of the relevant maturing Sukuk TNB WE (“Settlement Amount”).
(C) On the relevant Early Redemption Date (where applicable), the Lease
Rentals due and payable by the Lessee to the Lessor shall be the Early
54 | P a g e
Redemption Amount (as defined in paragraph 3(y)(xiii) below).
(D) On the date of occurrence of a Total Loss Event, the Lease Rentals due
and payable by the Lessee to the Lessor shall be the Mandatory Redemption
Amount (as defined in paragraph 3(y)(xii) below).
On the Dissolution Date or the date of occurrence of a Total Loss Event
(“Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Ijarah Agreement and the Grant of Rights
Agreement will be terminated and the entire Asset (being the proportionate
undivided rights over the use of the Project Lands for the remaining period of the
Grant of Right from the Sukukholders of all tranches of the Sukuk TNB WE) will
automatically be reverted to the Grantor for the payment of the Redemption
Amount or the Mandatory Redemption Amount, as the case may be.
On the relevant Maturity Date or Early Redemption Date of the Sukuk TNB WE,
the Ijarah Agreement and the Grant of Rights Agreement will not be terminated
but the relevant Asset (being the proportionate undivided rights over the use of
the Project Lands for the remaining period of the Grant of Right from the
Sukukholders of the relevant tranche of the Sukuk TNB WE) will automatically be
reverted to the Grantor for the payment of the Settlement Amount or the Early
Redemption Amount (as the case may be) respectively.
For the avoidance of doubt, any double counting in respect of the Redemption
Amount, Mandatory Redemption Amount, Settlement Amount or Early
Redemption Amount shall be disregarded.
Upon receipt by the Lessor from the Lessee of the Lease Rentals on the relevant rental payment dates which would coincide with the relevant periodic distribution dates, the Dissolution Date, Maturity Date, Early Redemption Date and Mandatory Redemption Date of the relevant Sukuk TNB WE as the case may be, the Issuer will use such amounts received to make payments under the relevant Sukuk TNB WE to the Sukukholders.
Step 4 Issuance of Sukuk TNB WE
The Issuer shall issue Sukuk TNB WE to the Sukukholders which represent the Sukukholders’ undivided proportionate beneficial interest, rights and entitlements under the Trust Asset. The proceeds from Sukuk TNB WE shall be utilised to pay the Grantor the One-off Rental under the Grant of Right Agreement.
Step 5 Servicing Agency Agreement
Under the Ijarah Agreement, the Lessor shall be responsible to procure
Takaful/insurance in connection with the Asset and the Lessee has
acknowledged that the Lessor may procure the services of a servicing agent
(“Servicing Agent”) or its representatives, in accordance with the terms and
conditions set out in a servicing agency agreement (the “Servicing Agency
Agreement”), including but not limited to perform the payment of Takaful/
insurance under a Total Loss Event.
To the extent that the Servicing Agent incurs any costs/ expenses in relation to
procuring the Takaful/ insurance (“Service Charge Amount”), the Lease Rentals
under the Ijarah Agreement will provide for supplementary rental (forming part of
the Lease Rentals) which will be an amount equal to Service Charge Amount
55 | P a g e
incurred (“Supplementary Lease Rentals”).
The obligation of the Issuer to pay the Service Charge Amount shall be set off
against the Supplementary Lease Rentals due from the Lessee.
Upon the occurrence of a Total Loss Event, the Ijarah Agreement will be
terminated. The Sukuk TNB WE will be redeemed in accordance with the
provisions on Mandatory Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of
a partial loss which is repairable, the Ijarah Agreement will not be terminated, the
provisions on Mandatory Redemption will not be applicable and the proceeds
from the Takaful/insurance proceeds would be used to make good such damage.
The Asset will not be substituted upon the occurrence of a Total Loss Event or a
partial loss.
Pursuant to the Servicing Agency Agreement, the Issuer (in its capacity as the
Lessor), acting on behalf of the Sukukholders shall appoint the Lessee as the
Servicing Agent for a servicing agent fee of RM100.00 throughout the Lease
Period to carry out certain obligations. The Servicing Agent shall be responsible
to procure Takaful/ insurance in connection with the Asset that provides sufficient
proceeds for the redemption of the Sukuk TNB WE under a Total Loss Event. If
the Takaful/ insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover the redemption amount
due under the Sukuk TNB WE, the Servicing Agent shall be liable to make good
the difference. Any excess from Takaful/insurance proceeds over the Mandatory
Redemption Amount, shall be paid to the Servicing Agent as an incentive fee.
Step 6 Wakalah Agreement
Pursuant to a Wakalah Agreement, the Project Company shall appoint the Issuer
as its agent (“Wakeel”) to provide certain services for a wakalah fee of
RM100.00, for a period corresponding to the period of the construction and
delivery of the Plant to the Project Company under the Turnkey Contract (as
defined below). The Wakeel shall be responsible to:
(i) manage the One-off Rental paid to the Project Company as Grantor in a
Shariah compliant manner;
(ii) subject to the instructions of the Project Company, to make payments
including;
(a) payment on behalf of the Project Company (as Lessee) of the Lease
Rentals to the Lessor;
(b) any other payments or cost in relation to the Project corresponding to
Item 3(m) of this PTC.
The Wakalah Agreement shall cease upon the completed Plant being delivered to the Project Company under the Turnkey Contract. Thereafter, the Project Company as Lessee will pay the Lease Rentals directly to the Lessor, who in turn will channel to Sukukholders.
“Turnkey Contract” means the contract between the Project Company and the Issuer, whereby the Issuer will procure the execution of the Project on a turnkey basis and administer and manage the development of the Project on behalf of the Project Company.
