Agreement will be payable in excess of that permitted under the laws of
Canada. If the effective rate of interest, calculated in
accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles,
would exceed the criminal rate on the credit advanced,
then:
|
(a)
|
the
elements of return which fall within the term "interest" will be reduced
to the extent necessary to eliminate such
excess;
|
(b)
|
any
remaining excess that has been paid will be credited towards prepayment of
the Facility; and
|
(c)
|
any
overpayment that may remain after such crediting will be returned
forthwith to the Borrower upon demand, and, in the event of dispute, a
Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lender will
perform the relevant calculations and determine the reductions,
modifications and credits necessary to effect the foregoing and the same
will be conclusive and binding on the parties. This Agreement,
the Note and all related agreements and documents will automatically be
modified to reflect such modifications without the necessity of any
further act or deed of the Borrower and the Lender to give effect to
them.
|
27.
|
Invalidity. If
at any time any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof
will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to the fullest extent
possible by law.
|
28.
|
Governing
Laws. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of
Canada applicable therein. The Borrower submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of Ontario and
agrees to be bound by any suit, action or proceeding commenced in such
Courts and by any order or judgment resulting from such suit, action or
proceeding, but the foregoing will in no way limit the right of the Lender
to commence suits, actions or proceedings based on this Agreement in any
jurisdiction it may deem
appropriate.
