2.5 | Changes in Liability Management Rating System. Article 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 1.12 as follows: |
“1.12 Changes in Liability Management Rating System
If:
(a) | as a result of any change in any applicable law, rule, policy, regulation, order or directive (or in the interpretation of any thereof): |
(i) | any applicable Energy Regulator ceases to use a Liability Management Rating as a means of determining whether a Person is in compliance with such Energy Regulator’s abandonment and reclamation rules, policies, regulations orders or directives in any Primary Jurisdiction, |
(ii) | a material change occurs in the methodology used in calculating the Liability Management Rating in any Primary Jurisdiction (including any changes in the factors used to calculate such rating which would have a material effect upon the calculation of such rating), |
(iii) | a material change is made to the minimum Liability Management Rating thresholds in any Primary Jurisdiction which are used to determine whether any licenses for xxxxx, facilities, pipelines and other physical assets relevant to the determination of the Liability Management Rating can be transferred or whether any security deposits will be required to be provided to the applicable Energy Regulator (the “Minimum Statutory LMR”), or |
(iv) | for the purposes of adjusting Section 11.1(o) only, either (A) there is a material increase or decrease in the assumed netback values (or equivalent) used by the applicable Energy Regulator in any Primary Jurisdiction in determining “deemed assets” (or the equivalent) for the purposes of calculating the Liability Management Rating or (B) there is a material increase or decrease in the assumed reclamation and abandonment costs (or the equivalent) used by the applicable Energy Regulator in any Primary Jurisdiction in determining “deemed liabilities” (or the equivalent) for the purposes of calculating the Liability Management Rating in such Primary Jurisdiction; or |
(b) | except for the purposes of adjusting Section 11.1(o), any “force majeure” event or similar circumstance occurs which materially reduces the cash flow derived from oil and gas production of any of the Loan Parties for an extended period of time, and as a consequence thereof, the “deemed assets” component of the Liability Management Rating for such Person in any Primary Jurisdiction is materially reduced; |
then, in any such case, at the written request of the Agent or the Majority Lenders to the Borrower or of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower and the Agent shall enter into good faith discussions with a view to determining a comparable rating system, calculation or threshold, as applicable, to amend or replace the concept or usage of Liability Management Rating as set forth herein (or, in the case of clause (b) above, to adjust for such force majeure event or circumstance for so long as it is continuing), with the objective of having the respective positions of the Lenders and the Borrower after such change(s) conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions
- 4 -
immediately prior to such change(s) (subject to ensuring that the threshold in Section 11.1(o) at least equals the Minimum Statutory LMR and, to the extent practicable, exceeds the Minimum Statutory LMR by an equitable amount); provided that, until any such agreement is reached, the Liability Management Rating and all related calculations and thresholds hereunder shall continue to be calculated by the Borrower in consultation with the Agent acting in good faith as if no such change had occurred.
Upon the Borrower and the Agent agreeing on such a comparable rating system, calculation or threshold, as applicable, the Borrower and the Lenders shall enter into documentation to amend the provisions hereof to give effect to such agreement and to make all other adjustments incidental thereto. The parties hereto agree that such amendment shall require the consent of the Majority Lenders, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out herein.”.
2.6 | New ARO Reporting. Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new Section 9.1(bb) thereto: |
“(bb) ARO Reporting.
(i) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, within 120 days after the end of each of its fiscal years, an annual Abandonment and Reclamation Report together with a summary of all letters of credit and other forms of security provided to each applicable Energy Regulator related to abandonment and reclamation obligations and liabilities of any one or more of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (excluding any security which is mandatorily required to be provided by producers without regard to any Liability Management Rating deficiency or similar abandonment and reclamation obligation deficiency construct).
(ii) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, promptly following receipt thereof by it or any other Loan Party, copies of any Abandonment/Reclamation Orders (and any amendments, supplements or other modifications thereto) or other material notices or communications related to any directives, rules, regulations or other orders issued by any applicable Energy Regulator to any one or more of the Loan Parties or otherwise affecting any of the assets of any of them relating to any non-compliance by the Loan Parties with any applicable Environmental Laws, including liability assessments, potential or designated problem site notices, requirement to post security deposits and operator insolvency notices; provided that the aggregate estimated cost of compliance with all such orders, notices or communications would reasonably be expected to exceed the Threshold Amount.
(iii) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, promptly following delivery of such letters of credit or security, notice to the Agent if any letters of credit or other forms of security are issued on its or any other Loan Party’s behalf to any applicable Energy Regulator if the Liability Management Rating of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is less than 2.0 in any Primary Jurisdiction (or if such Liability Management Rating would have been below any such threshold absent such letter of credit or security having been delivered to the applicable Energy Regulator).”.
2.7 | New Events of Default. Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraphs (o) and (p): |
“(o) Minimum Liability Management Rating. If the Liability Management Rating of any Loan Party which owns or operates any LMR Assets in any Primary Jurisdiction becomes less than 1.25 in such Primary Jurisdiction and remains below such threshold for a period of 90 days after written notice thereof is given by the Agent to the Borrower.
- 5 -
(p) Abandonment and Reclamation Orders: If (i) any Loan Party becomes subject to any Abandonment/Reclamation Orders issued by any Energy Regulator, (ii) the aggregate estimated cost of compliance with all such orders would reasonably be expected to exceed the Threshold Amount (provided that, for the purpose of determining any such estimated cost, the Borrower shall provide the Agent with a reasonable and factually supportable estimate of such costs within 10 Banking Days of its receipt of the applicable order and shall deliver to each Lender all such other relevant information related to such estimate as may be reasonably required by any such Lender) and (iii) such orders are not withdrawn or satisfied within the relevant timelines set out in such orders and any applicable appeal periods in respect thereof have expired.”.
2.8 | Change to Market Disruption Respecting LIBOR Advances. Section 12.4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows by adding the following new paragraph at the end thereof: |
"If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that:
(d) | the circumstances described in Section 12.4(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; |
(e) | the circumstances described in Section 12.4(a) have not arisen, but either (i) the applicable supervisor or administrator of LIBOR Rate, or (ii) a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Agent, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a "LIBOR Discontinuation Date"); or |
(f) | a rate other than LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated U.S. Dollar loans made in Canada, |
then the Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to select a replacement index for LIBOR Rate and make adjustments to the Applicable Pricing Margin and other related amendments to this Agreement that shall give due consideration to the prevailing market practice for: (A) determining a rate of interest applicable to newly originated U.S. Dollar loans made in Canada at such time, and (B) transitioning existing loans from LIBOR Rate-based interest rates to loans bearing interest calculated with reference to the new reference rate; provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable, the all-in interest rate paid by the Borrower under this Agreement based on such replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances made hereunder prior to the LIBOR Rate's replacement.
Upon an agreement being reached between the Agent and the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement that gives effect to the replacement reference rate of interest, adjustments to the Applicable Pricing Margin and such other related amendments as may be appropriate in the discretion of the Agent for the implementation and administration of U.S. Dollar loans bearing interest calculated with reference to the replacement index. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Section 14.1(e)), such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the fifth Banking Day after a copy of the amendment is provided to the Lenders and without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, unless the Agent receives, on or before such date and time, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.
- 6 -
Until an amendment reflecting the transition to a new reference rate becomes effective as contemplated by this Section, each Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of a LIBOR Advance shall continue to bear interest calculated with reference to LIBOR Rate; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Discontinuation Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Discontinuation Date, until such time as an amending agreement adopting a new reference rate of interest becomes effective as contemplated by this Section:
(g) | any requested Drawdown by way of, Conversion into, or Rollover of, LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be a request for a U.S. Base Rate Advance in the same principal amount; and |
(h) | in respect of a maturing LIBOR Advance, in the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a Notice of Conversion with respect thereto specifying the Conversion of such LIBOR Advance on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period into a Loan other than a LIBOR Advance (and provided a valid notice of repayment has not been delivered to the Agent in respect thereof), such maturing LIBOR Advance shall be converted on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period into a U.S. Base Rate Advance as if a valid Notice of Conversion had been given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof. |
For certainty, the replacement reference rate of interest agreed upon to replace LIBOR Rate would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.".
2.9 | Amendment to Compliance Certificate. Schedule C to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: |
(a) | by re-numbering Sections 1(h) and 1(i) thereof as Sections 1(i) and 1(j) respectively; and |
(b) | by adding the following new Section 1(h) as follows: |
“(h) | As at the last day of the above referenced [Fiscal Quarter/Fiscal Year], the Liability Management Rating of each of the Borrower and, where applicable, the other Loan Parties in each Primary Jurisdiction is as follows: |
Party | Primary Jurisdiction | Liability Management Rating | ||
2.10 | Addition of New Schedule K. Schedule A hereto is added as a new Schedule K to the Credit Agreement and Section 1.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following at the end thereof: |
“Schedule K - Form of Annual ARO Reporting”
3 | Fees |
Extension Fee in Respect of the Facility. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, an extension fee in Canadian Dollars in an amount equal to [redacted] of the aggregate amount of each such Lender's Commitments under the Facility (after giving effect hereto).
