Material Term Description. Variation The City has the right from time to time to prepare and require Project Co to carry out and implement a variation. A variation is an addition, reduction, substitution, omission, modification, deletion, removal or other change to the whole or any part of the works, the Highway 417 works or the maintenance services. Variations are mitigated by performing continued due diligence and thoroughly planning any work/modifications prior to financial close. A variation may arise from a dispute resolution and may impact payments such as a milestone payment or the monthly service payments. Where the City proposes a variation, Project Co will deliver an estimate of its cost implications, steps to implement, impact on schedule, impact on the performance of its obligations, impact on its financing arrangements and other relevant matters for consideration by the City. Project Co may object to a variation requested by the City on grounds including that it would have a material and adverse impact on the performance of its obligations, result in a change to the essential nature of the system, infringe applicable laws or result in the revocation of existing or an unobtainable requirement for new permits, licenses or approvals. Project Co may also propose variations for consideration by the City in its discretion. If accepted, a process similar to that described above would apply.

Material Term Description. Appropriations and Budgeting Canada’s contribution to the Project is subject to annual appropriations made by Parliament for the applicable fiscal year. The City releases Canada from any liability arising as a result of termination or reduction of funding due to appropriations.

If any requested re-allocation of Project funding is not approved by the Federal Crown, the amount of Canada’s contribution is so reduced, and the parties will review the effects of such reductions on the overall implementation of the Project and to adjust the terms and conditions of the Agreement as appropriate.
Material Term Description. Consequences of a Compensation Event If it is agreed or determined that there has been a compensation event, Project Co shall be entitled to such compensation as would place Project Co in no better and no worse position than it would have been in had the relevant compensation event not occurred.

Material Term Description. Design of the Grade Separation The design and construction of the Grade Separation (the “Construction Works”) will be carried out in accordance with agreed design specifications outlined in a functional design which has been appended to the Crossing Agreement. Costs and Cost Sharing The City and VIA will each be responsible for its own costs (including legal and consulting costs) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and administration of the Crossing Agreement. In recognition of the fact that the Grade Separation will benefit both VIA and the City by providing for a grade separated crossing of the Trillium Line commuter rail transit system over the CN-CP Railway Corridor which is used by VIA for their passenger rail service, VIA and the City have agreed to finalize a cost sharing methodology which will provide for a contribution by VIA to the cost of the Construction Works (the “Cost Sharing Agreement”).
