OVERDRAFTS OR INDEBTEDNESS 1. See Second Amendment, dated 9/5/08. If Custodian should in its sole discretion advance funds on behalf of any Fund which results in an overdraft {this shall specifically not include any day-light overdraft) because the money held by Custodian in an Account for such Fund shall be insufficient to pay the total amount payable upon a purchase of Securities specifically allocated to such Fund, as set forth ill a Certificate, Instructions or Oral Instructions, or if an overdraft arises in the separate account of a Fund for some other reason, including, without limitation, because of a reversal of a conditional credit or the purchase of any currency, or if the Fund is for any other reason indebted to Custodian with respect to a Fund due to a borrowing from a Fund from the Custodian, (except a borrowing for investment or for temporary or emergency purposes using Securities as collateral pursuant to a separate agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 2 of this Article), such overdraft or indebtedness shall be deemed to be a loan made by Custodian to the Fund for such Fund payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date incurred at a rate per annum as disclosed on the Fee Schedule between the Funds and Custodian, as such Fee Exhibit may be amended from time to time. In addition, the Fund hereby agrees that Custodian shall to the maximum extent permitted by law have a continuing lien, security interest, and security entitlement in and to any property, including, without limitation, any investment property or any financial asset, of such Fund at any time held by Custodian for the benefit of such Fund or in which such Fund may have an interest (which is then in Custodian's possession or control or in possession or control of any third party acting in Custodian's behalf. The Fund authorizes Custodian, in its sole discretion, at any time to charge any such overdraft or indebtedness together with interest due thereon against any balance of account standing to such Fund's credit on Custodian's books. Notwithstanding, anything in this Agreement to the contrary, provided that Custodian and a Fund are parties to a Custodial Undertaking in Connection with Master Repurchase Agreement or a Subcustodial Undertaking in Connection with Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively the “Custodial Undertakings”), Custodian agrees that any securities held by Custodian in connection with a repurchase agreement entered into by such Fund and subject to the Custodial Undertakings shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right of setoff by Custodian or any third pep claiming through Custodian and Custodian shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party an interest in, any such securities.
2. If the Fund borrows money from any bank (including Custodian if the borrowing is pursuant to a separate agreement) for investment or for temporary or emergency purposes using Securities held by Custodian hereunder as collateral for such borrowings, the Fund shall deliver to Custodian a Certificate specifying with respect to each such borrowing: (a) the Fund to which such borrowing relates; (b) the name of the bank, (c) the amount of the borrowing, (d) the time and date, if known, on which the loan is to be entered into, (e) the total amount payable to the Fund on the borrowing date, (f) the Securities to be delivered as collateral for such loan, including the name of the issuer, the title and the number of shares or the principal amount of any particular Securities, and (g) a statement specifying whether such loan is for investment purposes or for temporary or emergency purposes and that such loan is in conformance with the '40 Act and the Fund's prospectus. Custodian shall deliver on the borrowing date specified in a Certificate the specified collateral against payment by the lending bank of the total amount of the loan payable, provided that the same conforms to the total amount payable as set forth in the Certificate. Custodian may, at the option of the lending bank, keep such collateral in its possession, but such collateral shall be subject to all rights therein given the lending bank by virtue of any promissory note or loan agreement. Custodian shall deliver such Securities as additional collateral as may be specified in a Certificate to collateralize further any transaction described in this Section. The Fund shall cause all Securities released from collateral status to be returned directly to Custodian, and Custodian shall receive from time to time such return of collateral as may be tendered to it. In the event that the Fund fails to specify in a Certificate the Fund, the name of the issuer, the title and number of shares or the principal amount of any particular Securities to be delivered as collateral by Custodian, Custodian shall not be under any obligation to deliver any Securities.
Litigation and Contingent Obligations There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Loans. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.
Warranty Obligations
(a) Project Co represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) the Works shall conform to the requirements of this Project Agreement, Good Industry Practice, Applicable Law and all professional engineering principles generally accepted as standards of the industry in the Province of Ontario;
(ii) the Works shall be free of defects, including design defects, errors and omissions; and
(iii) materials and equipment shall be of good quality and in compliance with this Project Agreement.
(b) During the Warranty Period and subject to Section 11.15(c), Project Co shall promptly, at its sole cost and expense, correct and Make Good all Construction Defects arising in respect of the Works. For greater certainty, Project Co is required to correct and Make Good Construction Defects related to any Product during the applicable Warranty Period despite Project Co having obtained on Contracting Authority’s behalf industry- standard or other equipment warranties in accordance with Section 11.15(f). For all work to correct Construction Defects, the applicable Warranty Period shall be extended for a further two years from the date of the last work completed in respect of such corrective Works. For clarity, any extension of a Warranty Period for the purposes of a correction shall only apply to the relevant Construction Defect and not the Works as a whole.
(c) In addition to the obligation to correct and Make Good Construction Defects during the Warranty Period, Project Co shall at its expense correct and Make Good any Construction Defects that could not reasonably have been ascertained by a competent person in accordance with Good Industry Practice during a visual inspection of the Works (“Construction Latent Defect”), provided Contracting Authority gives Project Co written Notice of the Construction Latent Defect within the time frame applicable to such Construction Latent Defect pursuant to the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario).
(d) The warranties described in this Section 11.15 shall cover labour and material, including, the costs of removal and replacement of covering materials. The warranties shall not limit extended warranties on any Product or item of equipment called for elsewhere in the Output Specifications or otherwise provided by any manufacturer of such Product or equipment.
(e) If Project Co fails to correct and Make Good any Construction Defects or Construction Latent Defects in accordance with Sections 11.15(b) and 11.15(c) and in the time period specified in Section 11.16(a) or Section 11.16(b), as applicable, without prejudice to any other right or remedy Contracting Authority may have, Contracting Authority may correct such Construction Defects or Construction Latent Defects at Project Co’s sole cost and expense.
(f) Project Co shall obtain warranties from the manufacturers of each of the Products for the duration(s) and in accordance with the applicable requirements specified in the Output Specifications in the name of and to the benefit of both Project Co and Contracting Authority. Where, in respect of a Product warranty, the Output Specifications do not specify a specific duration and/or other requirements, Project Co shall obtain industry-standard warranties from the applicable manufacturers in the name of and to the benefit of Project Co and Contracting Authority which shall extend no less than two years from the Substantial Completion Date. Each Product warranty shall be issued by the applicable manufacturer and delivered to Project Co no later than 30 days prior to the Substantial Completion Date. Project Co shall ensure that each Product warranty, including any Product warranty extended under this Section 11.15(f), is fully assigned to Contracting Authority, at no cost or expense to Contracting Authority, at the end of the Warranty Period, as such Warranty Period may be extended in accordance with Section 11.15(b).
Guaranty Obligations Unless otherwise specified, the amount of any Guaranty Obligation shall be the lesser of the principal amount of the obligations guaranteed and still outstanding and the maximum amount for which the guaranteeing Person may be liable pursuant to the terms of the instrument embodying such Guaranty Obligation.
Permitted Contingent Obligations Contingent Obligations (a) arising from endorsements of Payment Items for collection or deposit in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) arising from Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder; (c) existing on the Closing Date, and any extension or renewal thereof that does not increase the amount of such Contingent Obligation when extended or renewed; (d) incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business with respect to surety, appeal or performance bonds, or other similar obligations; (e) arising from customary indemnification obligations in favor of purchasers in connection with dispositions of Equipment permitted hereunder; (f) arising under the Loan Documents; (g) guaranties of Permitted Debt; or (h) in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or less at any time.
No Implied Obligations The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, to make any demand upon the Company.
Limitation on Additional Indebtedness The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness unless, after giving effect thereto, either (i) the ratio of Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding, for purposes of this calculation only, purchase money mortgages that are Non-Recourse Indebtedness), to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Company is less than 2.25 to 1; or (ii) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur: (i) Indebtedness under one or more Bank Credit Facilities in an amount not in excess of $550 million outstanding in the aggregate at any one time; (ii) purchase money mortgages that are Non-Recourse Indebtedness; (iii) Indebtedness Incurred under a Warehouse Facility, provided that the amount of such Indebtedness (excluding funding drafts issued thereunder) outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (iii) may not exceed 98% of the value of the Mortgages pledged to secure Indebtedness thereunder; (iv) Indebtedness Incurred solely for the purpose of refinancing or repaying any existing Indebtedness so long as (A) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the existing Indebtedness refinanced or repaid (plus the premiums or other payments required to be paid in connection with such refinancing or repayment and the expenses incurred in connection therewith), (B) the maturity of such new Indebtedness is not earlier than that of the existing Indebtedness to be refinanced or repaid, (C) such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence, has an Average Life at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or repaid, (D) the new Indebtedness is pari passu with or subordinate to the Indebtedness being refinanced or repaid, and (E) the existing and new Indebtedness are obligations of the same entity; and (v) if any Restricted Subsidiary guarantees payment of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.11, Indebtedness of the Company owed to a Guarantor and Indebtedness of any Guarantor owed to the Company or any other Guarantor; provided that upon any Guarantor ceasing to be a Guarantor or such Indebtedness being owed to any Person other than the Company or a Guarantor, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be deemed to have Incurred Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (v). For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.02, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness permitted in clauses (i) through (v) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.02, the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant.
