CALCULATION OF INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES
3.1 | Calculation and Payment of Interest |
3.1.1 | The Borrower will pay interest on each Loan outstanding at any time at a rate per annum of 10%. Interest will accrue and be calculated, but not compounded, daily on the principal amount of each Loan on the basis of the actual number of days each Loan is outstanding in a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and will be compounded and payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. |
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower will pay interest on all overdue amounts owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, including any overdue interest payments, from the date each of those amounts is due until the date each of those amounts is paid in full. That interest will be calculated daily, compounded monthly and payable on demand of the Lender at a rate per annum of 12%.
- 24 - |
3.2 | Expenses |
The Borrower will pay to the Lender on the Closing Date, or reimburse the Lender for, the following reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements (on a solicitor and its own client basis):
3.2.1 | the expenses of the Lender incurred in negotiating, preparing, registering and executing the Loan Documents; and |
3.2.2 | the expenses of the Lender incurred in enforcing the Loan Documents, including the costs of legal counsel acting on behalf of the Lender. |
3.3 | General Provisions Regarding Interest |
3.3.1 | Each determination by the Lender of the amount of interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement will be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the determination. |
3.3.2 | Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement will accrue daily, be calculated as described in this Agreement, and be payable both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment. |
3.3.3 | To the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, the covenant of the Borrower to pay interest at the rates provided in this Agreement will not merge in any judgment relating to any obligation of the Borrower to the Lender. |
3.3.4 | For the purposes of the Interest Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-15: |
3.3.4.1 | the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest will not apply to any calculation or determination of interest under this Agreement; | |
3.3.4.2 | the rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates; and | |
3.3.4.3 | unless otherwise stated, each rate of interest specified in this Agreement as an interest rate “per annum” or a similar expression, is to be calculated on the basis of a calendar year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the annual rate of interest which is equivalent to that interest rate will be that rate multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in each year and the denominator of which is 365 or 366 days, as applicable. If the amount of any interest is determined or expressed on the basis of a period of less than a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, the equivalent annual rate is equal to the rate so determined or expressed, divided by the number of days in the period, and multiplied by the actual number of days in that calendar year. |
- 25 - |
3.4 | Maximum Return |
3.4.1 | In no event will any interest, fees or other amounts payable under this Agreement exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. If any provisions of this Agreement would require the Borrower to pay any interest or make any other payment that is construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as those terms are construed under the Criminal Code), then despite those provisions, that amount or rate will be deemed to have been reduced to the maximum amount or rate recoverable under Applicable Law, as if the Parties had agreed to that amount or rate by contract. That reduction will be effected, to the extent necessary: |
3.4.1.1 | firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest otherwise required to be paid under Article 3 of this Agreement; and | |
3.4.1.2 | secondly, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts that would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code. |
3.4.2 | If, despite the provisions of this Section 3.4 and after giving effect to all reductions under it, the Lender has received an amount or rate in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code, then that excess will be applied by the Lender to reduce the principal balance of the Borrower’s Obligations outstanding and not to the payment of interest, with any remaining portion being paid to subsequent secured creditors or to the applicable Obligors, as determined by Applicable Law. |
3.4.3 | Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 3.4 will be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles at an effective annual rate of interest over the term of this Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees, expenses or other amounts that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code) will, if they relate to a specific period of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the term of this Agreement and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lender will be conclusive for the purposes of that determination. |

If an Obligor fails to perform any covenant or agreement on its part in this Agreement, the Lender may, but is not required to, on 10 days’ notice to that Obligor, perform that covenant or agreement if it is capable of being performed by the Lender, and if that covenant or agreement requires the payment of money the Lender may, but is not required to, make that payment with its own funds.

11.14.3 | Any amount due from the applicable Party under this Section 11.14 is to be due as a separate Debt, independent of its obligations under this Agreement, and will not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or relating to this Agreement. |
