Bankers’ Acceptances (a) The Canadian Administrative Agent, promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation, requesting BA Loans, shall advise each applicable Canadian Lender of the face or principal amount and term of each BA Loan to be accepted (and purchased) or advanced by it. The aggregate face or principal amount of BA Loans to be accepted or advanced by a Canadian Lender shall be determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent by reference to that Canadian Lender’s applicable pro rata portion of the issue or advance of BA Loans, except that the aggregate face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by the applicable Canadian Lenders shall be increased or reduced by the Canadian Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as may be necessary to ensure that the face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptance to be accepted by each applicable Canadian Lender would be C$100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. For greater certainty, the foregoing C$100,000 minimum face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances for each Lender shall not apply to BA Equivalent Loans.
(b) On the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation on which a BA Loan is to be made, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall advise the Canadian Borrower as to the Canadian Administrative Agent’s determination of the BA Discount Rate for the BA Loans to be purchased or advanced, as the case may be.
(c) The Canadian Borrower shall sell and each Canadian Lender shall purchase the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it at the applicable BA Discount Rate. Subject to clause (d) below, each Canadian Lender shall provide the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Borrower, the BA Discount Proceeds less the Applicable Stamping Fee payable by the Canadian Borrower with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptance.
(d) In the event the Canadian Borrower requests a continuation of BA Loans for a further Interest Period, or requests conversion from Canadian Prime Loans into BA Loans in accordance with Section 2.6, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall make arrangements satisfactory to it to ensure the BA Discount Proceeds from the replacement BA Loans are applied to repay the face amount of the maturing BA Loans or the principal amount of such loans to be converted (the “Maturing Amount”) and the Canadian Borrower should concurrently pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent any positive difference between the Maturing Amount and such BA Discount Proceeds.
(e) Each Canadian Lender may from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it.
(f) In order to facilitate the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes each of the Canadian Lenders, and appoints each of the Canadian Lenders as the Canadian Borrower’s attorney, to complete, sign and endorse drafts or depository bills (as defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) (each such executed draft or xxxx being herein referred to as a “Draft”) on its behalf in handwritten form or by facsimile or mechanical signature or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation and, once so completed, signed and endorsed to accept them as Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement and then if applicable, purchase, discount or negotiate such Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Drafts so completed, signed, endorsed and negotiated on behalf of the Canadian Borrower by a Canadian Lender shall bind the Canadian Borrower as fully and effectively as if so performed by an Authorized Officer of the Canadian Borrower. Each draft of a Bankers’ Acceptance completed, signed or endorsed by a Canadian Lender shall mature on the last day of the term thereof. All Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a particular Canadian Lender shall, at the option of such Canadian Lender, be issued in the form of depository bills made payable originally to and deposited with The Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada).
(g) Any Drafts to be used for Bankers’ Acceptances which are held by a Canadian Lender shall be held in safekeeping with the same degree of care as if they were such Canadian Lender’s own property being kept at the place at which they are to be held. The Canadian Borrower may, by written notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent, designate persons other than Authorized Officers authorized to give the Canadian Administrative Agent instructions regarding the manner in which Drafts are to be completed and the times at which they are to be issued; provided however that receipt by the Canadian Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation requesting an advance or continuation into, Bankers’ Acceptances shall be deemed to be sufficient authority from Authorized Officers or such designated persons for each of the Canadian Lenders to complete, and issue drafts in accordance with such notice. None of the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lenders nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under this Section 2.14(g) except for their own respective gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(h) The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to the payment of any amounts due to a Canadian Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers’ Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Canadian Lender in its own right and the Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if the Canadian Lender as holder sues the Canadian Borrower on the Bankers’ Acceptance for payment of the amount payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. Each Bankers’ Acceptance shall mature and the face amount thereof shall be due and payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
(i) Whenever the Canadian Borrower requests a Loan under this Agreement by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting a Bankers’ Acceptance, make a BA Equivalent Loan by way of Discount Note in an amount equal to the Non-Acceptance Lender’s pro rata portion of the BA Loan. All terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:
(i) the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the Interest Period for Bankers’ Acceptances accepted on the same date of the Borrowing in respect of the same BA Loan;
(ii) an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Applicable Stamping Fee in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance; and
(iii) the proceeds from a BA Equivalent Loan shall be equal to the BA Discount Proceeds of the Discount Note.

Swingline Loan borrowings hereunder shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and in integral amounts of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(c) Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a Letter of Credit Request meeting the requirements of Section 3.2(a).
