2.12. | General Provisions Regarding Payments. |
(a) | All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date due via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Payment Account; funds not so received by the Administrative Agent at or before that time on such due date shall only be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day (except to the extent such delay in payment results solely from the Loan Account Bank’s failure to distribute funds on deposit in the Loan Account and available for distribution as of 3:00 p.m. on such Business Day in accordance with Section 2.10 or 2.11). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6 (if applicable) from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. |
(b) | All payments in respect of the principal amount of the Loans shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid. |
(c) | The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address or via wire transfer as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent. |
(d) | Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder. |
(e) | The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is not made in conformity with this Section 2.12. |
(f) | Until the Borrower otherwise directs, the Borrower hereby directs that all payments contemplated in Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, in each case, net of $10, to be paid to the Borrower shall be paid to the Originator Account, which the Borrower confirms shall be applied on account of the Deferred Purchase Price attributable to the related Investment Pool. |
35 |
2.13. | Ratable Sharing. |
The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of the Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off, consolidation, or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all of the Lenders in their proportions of Aggregate Amounts Due; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.
2.14. | Making or Maintaining Loans. |
(a) | Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Reset Date with respect to any Loan, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall on such Interest Rate Reset Date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon Adjusted LIBOR shall be deemed equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time. |
36 |
(b) | Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender would sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Loan from such Lender does not occur on the date specified therefor in the related Funding Notice and Certificate; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of its Loans occurs on any day other than a Settlement Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower. |
(c) | Assumptions Concerning Funding Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.14 and under Section 2.15 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Loans through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at Adjusted LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.14 and under Section 2.15. |
2.15. | Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. |
(a) | Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining the Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto (a “Cost Increase Event”); then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that (i) the related Cost Increase Event occurred within the 90 day period preceding the date on which the Borrower received such statement, or (ii) the Cost Increase Event has retroactive effects to a date prior to such 90 day period but the Borrower received such statement within 90 days of the occurrence of the Cost Increase Event. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.15(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. |
37 |
(b) | Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, the Loans or such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), (a “Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event”) then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that (i) the related Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event occurred within the 90 day period preceding the date on which the Borrower received such statement, or (ii) the Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event has retroactive effects to a date prior to such 90 day period but the Borrower received such statement within 90 days of the occurrence of the Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.15(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. |
(c) | Xxxx-Xxxxx. For greater certainty, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated thereunder shall be deemed to be a law that becomes effective after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted. |
(d) | Basel III Framework. For greater certainty, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines attributable to the implementation or application of the Basel III Framework shall be deemed to be a law that becomes effective after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted. In this Agreement, “Basel III Framework” means the global regulatory standards on bank capital adequacy and liquidity referred to by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”) as “Basel III” or the “Basel III Framework” published in December 2010, together with any further guidance or standards in relation to “Basel III” or the “Basel III Framework” published or to be published by the BCBS. |
38 |
(e) | Borrower Rights. If any Lender demands payment with respect to amounts owed under Section 2.15(a) or (b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such demand, to remove such Lender (the “Affected Person”) and to designate another lender (the “Replacement Person”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to purchase the Affected Person’s outstanding Pro Rata Share of the Loans and to assume the Affected Person’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that increased costs incurred by such Lender prior to the date of its replacement shall have been paid as provided herein. The Affected Person agrees to sell to the Replacement Person its Pro Rata Share in the Loans (at par, with accrued interest through the date of purchase, in immediately available funds) and to delegate to the Replacement Person its obligations to the Borrower under this Agreement. Upon such sale and delegation by the Affected Person and the purchase and assumption by the Replacement Person, and compliance with the provisions of Section 9.9 hereof, the Affected Person shall cease to be a Lender hereunder and the Replacement Person shall become a Lender under this Agreement. Each Affected Person shall continue to be entitled to receive from the Borrower its share of interest, fees, costs and other sums which have not been assigned by the Affected Person to the Replacement Person. |
2.16. | Taxes; Withholding, etc. |
(a) | Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by the Borrower hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by applicable law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within Canada or any political subdivision in or of Canada or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of the Borrower or by any federation or organization of which Canada or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. |
(b) | Withholding of Taxes. If the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by the Borrower in respect of interest paid or payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as the Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) the Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Person) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter) after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter) after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority. |
39 |
(c) | Payment of Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Agent, Lender or other Secured Party) that arises from any payment made under any of the Credit Documents or from the execution, sale, transfer, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Credit Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Agent, Lender and other Secured Party for the full amount of any Tax (other than Taxes on the overall net income of such Agent, Lender or Secured Party) paid by such Agent, Lender or other Secured Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally asserted. |
(d) | Notice; Mitigation. In the event the Borrower has actual knowledge that it is required to, or there arises, in the Borrower’s reasonable opinion, a substantial likelihood that the Borrower will be required to, pay an increased amount or otherwise indemnify such Lender for or on account of any Taxes pursuant to Section 2.16(b), the Borrower shall promptly notify such Lender of the nature of such Taxes and shall furnish such information to such Lender as it may reasonably request. In the event the Borrower provides the notice described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall consult with the Borrower in good faith to determine what action may be required to avoid or reduce such Taxes and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce such Taxes, provided that no action shall be required to be taken that would be disadvantageous to such Lender and would result in significantly increased cost to such Lender. |
(e) | Confirmation of Tax Status. If requested by the Borrower, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent executed originals of any form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in Canadian federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. |

Notwithstanding any participation made hereunder (i) such selling Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) except as set forth above, the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Obligations and to approve, without the consent of or consultation with any participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the participant (to the extent of its interest in any Loans) shall have the right to exercise any remedies hereunder and vote any claims with respect to the Borrower or the Loans in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Borrower.

9.19. | Usury Savings Clause. |
If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest (as such term is construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable to any Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by such Agent or Lender of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not so result in a receipt by such Agent or such Lender of interest at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender under Section 2.6, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated in the preceding sentence, if an Agent or Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by application of the Highest Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 9.19 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the Loans remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” for the purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Initial Credit Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of an actuary appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination absent manifest error.
9.20. | Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “tif” via email) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
9.21. | Advice of Counsel; No Strict Construction. |
Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and with its counsel. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
73 |
9.22. | Time. |
Time is of the essence in all respects hereof.
9.23. | Limitations Act, 2002. |
Each of the parties hereto agree that any and all limitation periods provided for in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario), shall be excluded from application to the Obligations and any undertaking, covenant, indemnity or other agreement provided for in this Agreement to fullest extent permitted by such Act.
9.24. | Effectiveness. |
This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

9.26. | Prior Agreements. |
This Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Related Agreements contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Related Agreements and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.
9.27. | Confidentiality. |
The Borrower agrees that the terms included in this Agreement and disclosed in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be kept strictly confidential, shall not be reproduced or disclosed (except as required by law, including, without limitation, the filing requirements of the Exchange Act), and shall not be used by the Borrower other than in connection with the transaction described herein except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent hereby consents to the Borrower’s disclosure of (i) this Agreement to its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, agents and advisors who are directly involved in the implementation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent such persons agree to hold the same in confidence, and (ii) this Agreement as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case the Borrower agrees to inform the Administrative Agent promptly thereof).
74 |
9.28. | Judgment Currency. |
(a) | If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9.28 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Credit Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the State of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9.28 being hereinafter in this Section 9.28 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). |
(b) | If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9.28(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 9.28(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Credit Documents. |
(c) | The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 9.28 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon, would be prepared to sell, in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. |
