To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

Hold Harmless and Indemnity Consultant shall fully and promptly undertake its obligations as set forth below:
Expenses and Indemnity (a) In connection with the Fiscal Agent’s appointment and duties under this Agreement and the Bonds, the Province will pay the Fiscal Agent compensation in an amount separately agreed upon by the Province and the Fiscal Agent, subject to the provisions of the Financial Administration Act (British Columbia). The Province will indemnify and hold harmless the Fiscal Agent against all claims, actions, demands, damages, costs, losses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Fiscal Agent by reason of, or in connection with, the Fiscal Agent’s appointment and duties as such, except as such result from any negligent act or omission, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Fiscal Agent or its directors, officers, employees or agents. In addition, the Province shall, pursuant to arrangements separately agreed upon by the Province and the Fiscal Agent, transfer to the Fiscal Agent, upon presentation of substantiating documentation satisfactory to the Province, amounts sufficient to reimburse the Fiscal Agent for certain out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with its services. The obligation of the Province under this subsection shall survive payment of the Bonds and resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent.
(b) The Fiscal Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Province against all claims, actions, demands, damages, costs, losses and liabilities arising out of or relating to any negligent act or omission, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Fiscal Agent or its directors, officers, employees, or agents. The obligations of the Fiscal Agent under this subsection shall survive payment of the Bonds and resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement but failure to so notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defence of such action. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party may assume the defence of such action with legal advisors chosen by it and approved by the indemnified party defendant in such action, unless such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party (in which case, the indemnified party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel), but an indemnifying party may not settle any action commenced against an indemnified party without the written consent of the indemnified party. In order to be entitled to an indemnity with respect to a claim hereunder, an indemnified party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnifying party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding). If any indemnifying party assumes the defence of any such action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees or expenses of the legal advisors of the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one legal advisor for the indemnified party in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
Tax Indemnity (a) The Company shall (within ten Business Days of written demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party reasonably determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a payment of an Obligor.
(b) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:
(i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:
(A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or
(B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or
(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up); or
(B) would be compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 16.2(c) (Tax gross-up) but is not so actually compensated for solely as a result of one of the exclusions in paragraph (d)(ii) of Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up).
(c) A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Company.
(d) A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 16.3, notify the Facility Agent.
Weekly Indemnity (a) Casual employees are eligible for weekly indemnity benefits upon accumulation of 400 hours of service seniority. Once established, eligibility for weekly indemnity is retained unless the casual employee loses service seniority. Weekly indemnity benefits are payable for each period of illness up to a maximum of 15 weeks at 60% of the casual employee's normal average earnings. Normal average earnings are calculated by averaging the straight-time compensation and the compensation paid in accordance with Clause 31.7 in the six most recent biweekly pay periods in which earnings occurred.
(b) The payment of benefits to a person who is laid off or separated prior to termination of his/her illness shall be continued after the layoff or separation until the total number of weeks for which benefits have been paid in respect of that illness is 15 weeks, except that benefits will cease on the effective date of a scheduled layoff or separation, if the illness occurs two months (or less) before that layoff or separation provided that notice of the layoff or separation was given prior to the occurrence of the illness.
(c) The benefits described in this clause shall not be available to an employee whose illness, injury or personal circumstances may be described by any one of the following conditions:
(1) who is not under the care of a licensed physician;
(2) whose illness is occupational and is covered by WorkSafeBC;
(3) whose illness is intentionally self-inflicted;
(4) whose illness results from service in the Armed Forces;
(5) whose illness results from riots, wars or participation in disorderly conduct;
(6) who is ill during a period of paid vacation;
(7) whose illness is sustained while he/she is committing a criminal offence;
(8) who is engaged in an employment for a wage or profit;
(9) who is ill during a strike or lockout at the place where he/she was employed if that illness commences during the strike or lockout;
(10) who is serving a prison sentence.
(d) The parties agree that the complete premium reduction from the Employment Insurance Commission accruing through the improved sick leave plan and the weekly indemnity plan will be returned to the Employer. This is an exchange for the implementation of the above-mentioned plans.
