Common use of B/A Equivalent Advances Clause in Contracts

B/A Equivalent Advances. If a Canadian Tranche Lender is not a Canadian chartered bank or is not permitted by applicable law to, or does not by virtue of policy or customary practice, accept Drafts for the purpose of subsequent sale as a bankers’ acceptance (a “Non-Acceptance Lender”), each time a Canadian Borrower gives a Borrowing Request for an issue of Acceptances, such Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.04(e), make an advance in Canadian Dollars to such Canadian Borrower (a “B/A Equivalent Advance”) in the amount equal to the Acceptance Proceeds which would be derived from a hypothetical sale of Drafts accepted by it (“Notional Acceptances”) in the aggregate face amount of its Canadian Tranche Percentage of such requested issue of Acceptances at a discount rate that yields to such Non-Acceptance Lender (excluding the Stamping Fee) an interest rate per annum equal to the CDOR BA Rate for Acceptances accepted by a Canadian Tranche Lender that is not a Schedule I Bank. Any B/A Equivalent Advance shall be repayable on the maturity of such issue of Acceptances. A Non-Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct from the amount of its B/A Equivalent Advance to be paid to the Canadian Agent pursuant to Subsection 2.04(e)(ii) an amount equal to the Stamping Fee determined in accordance with Section 2.04(f) that would have been payable to it with respect to the Notional Acceptances corresponding to the B/A Equivalent Advance. For the purposes of this Agreement each reference to an issue of Acceptances or Acceptances issued by a Non-Acceptance Lender shall be deemed to include, where relevant, B/A Equivalent Advances, with the necessary changes being made to fit the context.
