Project Finance Borrowing means any Borrowing to finance a project:
  (a) which is made by a single purpose company (whether or not a member of the Group) whose principal assets and business are constituted by that project and whose liabilities in respect of the Borrowing concerned are not directly or indirectly the subject of a guarantee, indemnity or any other form of assurance, undertaking or support from any member of the Group except security over the shares in that company or as expressly referred to in paragraph (b)(iii) below; or
 
  (b) in respect of which the person or persons making such Borrowing available to the relevant borrower (whether or not a member of the Group) have no recourse whatsoever to any member of the Group for the repayment of or payment of any sum relating to such Borrowing other than:
 
    (i) recourse to the borrower for amounts limited to the aggregate cash flow or net cash flow (other than historic cash flow or historic net cash flow) from such project; and/or
 
    (ii) recourse to the borrower for the purpose only of enabling amounts to be claimed in respect of that Borrowing in an enforcement of any Security Interest given by the borrower over the assets comprised in the project (or given by any shareholder in the borrower over its shares in the borrower) to secure that Borrowing or any recourse referred to in (iii) below, provided that (A) the extent of such recourse to the borrower is limited solely to the amount of any recoveries made on any such enforcement, and (B) such person or persons are not entitled, by virtue of any right or claim arising out of or in connection with such Borrowing, to commence proceedings for the winding up or dissolution of the borrower or to appoint or procure the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar person or official in respect of the borrower or any of its assets (save for the assets the subject of such Security Interest); and/or
 
    (iii) recourse to such borrower generally, or directly or indirectly to a member of the Group under any form of completion guarantee, assurance or undertaking, which recourse is limited to a claim for damages (other than liquidated damages and damages required to be calculated in a specified way) for breach of an obligation (not being a payment obligation or an obligation to procure payment by another or an obligation to comply or to procure compliance by another with any financial ratios or other tests of financial condition) by the person against whom such recourse is available; or
 
  (c) which the Majority Banks shall have agreed in writing to treat as a Project Finance Borrowing for the purposes of the Finance Documents.
