Artikel 30

(1). The Arbitration and Mediation Committee established pursuant to Article IX of Annex II to the present Agreement shall serve notice upon the trustee of a bonded debt to which the said Annex applies of any proceeding concerning the settlement of such debt which is pending before it. The trustee may, within twenty days after the service of such notice, become a party to such proceeding.
(2). In order to assist the trustee of a bonded debt in the discharge of any responsibilities which such trustee may have to holders of such debt, the debtor, at the time it submits to the creditors' representative any proposed offer of settlement pursuant to Article VII of Annex II to the present Agreement shall likewise submit a copy thereof to the trustee of such debt. The trustee may communicate to the debtor and to the creditors' representative any objection which it may have to the terms of the offer under negotiation, which objection shall be submitted for consideration in such negotiations.
(3). Prior to entering into any definitive agreement with the creditors' representative on the terms of the offer of settlement the debtor shall notify the trustee in writing of the terms of such offer of settlement. Within ten days after receipt of such notice the trustee shall have the right to refer to the Arbitration and Mediation Committee any objection which such trustee may have to the terms of the offer of settlement regarding any matter in respect of which, under the terms of the existing indenture, the trustee shall determine, in the exercise of its discretion, that it has responsibility to holders of such bonded debt. The Arbitration and Mediation Committee shall serve notice upon the creditors' representative and the debtor of the institution of such proceeding. The creditors' representative and the debtor may also become parties to the proceeding by entering an appearance within twenty days after the service of such notice. The jurisdiction of the Arbitration and Mediation Committee with respect to such proceeding shall not be affected by the failure of the creditors' representative or of the debtor to enter an appearance in such proceeding. If there is no reference to arbitration within the ten-day period provided for above, the debtor may enter into the proposed agreement with the creditors' representative.
(4). A decision of the Arbitration and Mediation Committee in a proceeding pursuant to paragraph (3) of this Article shall be binding upon the creditors' representative and the debtor to the same extent as is provided in the second sub-paragraph of paragraph 1 of Article IX of Annex II to the present Agreement. In any proceeding to which a trustee becomes a party pursuant to paragraph (1) or (3) of this Article, such trustee shall have the same rights as any other party thereto.
