Statement of Commitment The Institutions promote teaching, scholarship and research and the free and critical discussion of ideas. Unions and employers are committed to providing a working and learning environment that allows for full and free participation of all members of the institutional community. Harassment undermines these objectives and violates the fundamental rights, personal dignity and integrity of individuals or groups of individuals. Harassment is a serious offence that may be cause for disciplinary sanctions including, where appropriate, dismissal or expulsion. The Institutions have a responsibility under the BC's Human Rights Code to prevent harassment and to provide procedures to handle complaints, to resolve problems and to remedy situations where harassment occurs. The employer will offer educational and training programs designed to prevent harassment and to support the administration of the institutional policies and to ensure that all members of the institutional community are aware of their responsibility with respect to the policy. The Unions and Employers agree that attendance is required and will take place during compensated work time.

Schedules of Specific Commitments 1. Each Party shall set out in a schedule the specific commitments it undertakes under Article 3 (National Treatment), Article 4 (Market Access) and Article 5 (Additional Commitments). With respect to sectors where such commitments are undertaken, each schedule shall specify:
Letter of Credit Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) established in Landlord’s (and its successors’ and assigns’) favor in the Letter of Credit Amount, issued by a federally insured banking or lending institution (i.e., insured by the FDIC) with a retail banking branch located within the continental United States reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in other form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide for partial draws, shall be self-renewing annually as an “Evergreen” letter of credit, without amendment, for additional one-year periods, shall have a term that is self-renewing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of the Lease and shall by its terms be transferable by the beneficiary thereunder for a transfer fee not to exceed $250.00 payable by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make any payment of rent or other charges due to Landlord under the terms of the Lease, or otherwise defaults hereunder, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make a demand for payment under the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amounts then due and owing to Landlord under the Lease. In the event that Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the full Letter of Credit Amount satisfying all of the terms and conditions of this Section within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Landlord of such draw. Tenant’s failure to do so within such 10-day period will constitute a default hereunder (Tenant hereby waiving any additional notice and grace or cure period), and upon such default Landlord shall be entitled to immediately exercise all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity. In the event that the Letter of Credit is terminated by the issuer thereof prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration date of this Lease, as set forth above, and Tenant has not presented to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of the Lease on or before thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed in default hereunder and Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for hereunder, shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord and any such amount paid to Landlord by the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall be held in a segregated account by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any interest earned on such amounts shall be the property of Landlord. Landlord’s election to draw under the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds of the drawing under the Letter of Credit in a segregated account shall not be deemed a cure of any default by Tenant hereunder and shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any proceeds of a draw made under the Letter of Credit and thereafter held in a segregated account by Landlord may be used by Landlord to cure or satisfy any obligation of Tenant hereunder as if such proceeds were instead proceeds of a draw made under a Letter of Credit that remained outstanding and in full force and effect at the time such amounts are applied by Landlord to cure or satisfy any such obligation of Tenant. Tenant hereby affirmatively disclaims any interest Tenant has, may have, claims to have, or may claim to have in any proceeds drawn by Landlord under the Letter of Credit and held in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that at the end of the Term of the Lease (whether by expiration or earlier termination hereof), and if Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord shall return to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or its successor (or as such issuer may direct in writing) any remaining and unapplied proceeds of any prior draws made under the Letter of Credit, and Tenant shall have no rights, residual or otherwise, in or to such proceeds. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will have the right to require Tenant to have a new Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the above requirements from a different Issuer if either the original Issuer is placed on an FDIC “watch list”, if the FDIC or similar state or federal banking regulatory agency is appointed as receiver or conservator for such Issuer or if Landlord analyzes such Issuer’s capitalization, asset quality, earnings, and/or liquidity and in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, disapproves of such Issuer’s financial wherewithal and ability to remain as the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Such new Letter of Credit must comply with the foregoing requirements and must be issued within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor. Provided Tenant is not then in default (regardless of any notice and cure periods) and has not been in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods during the prior twelve (12) months, the Letter of Credit Amount shall reduce during the Term of this Lease on the first date of the respective Lease Year as set forth below: Date of Reduction Amount of Reduction of Letter of Credit Remaining Letter of Credit Amount after Reduction First day of the 2nd Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 52,593.76 First day of the 3rd Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 39,445.32 First day of the 4th Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 26,296.88 First day of the 5th Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 13,148.44 Should Tenant be in default (regardless of any notice and cure periods) as of the specified reduction date, or if Tenant otherwise has been in default as specified above beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods, no reduction shall occur as of such applicable date. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide that the Letter of Credit is subject to reduction in accordance with the terms of the Lease. If Tenant is then or has been in default and the Letter of Credit balance is not or was not reduced, then at the first date of the next scheduled reduction Lease Year, the Letter of Credit Amount will only be reduced by the next scheduled reduction amount and will not skip to the otherwise applicable Lease Year.
Settlement and Recovery of Funding for Prior Years (a) The HSP acknowledges that settlement and recovery of Funding can occur up to 7 years after the provision of Funding.
