10.1	Absence of quotations
	Subject to clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

	(b)	If the percentage rate per annum notified by the Lender pursuant to clause 10.2(a)(ii) above is less than LIBOR, the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of clause 10.2(a)(ii) above, to be LIBOR.

(a) a Tax Refund is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

(b) that a Finance Party (or any Affiliate of that Finance Party) has obtained that Tax Refund,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it, together with its Affiliates (if relevant) (after making that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it (or they, as the case may be) would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

In the event that any VAT is paid by any Party to a Finance Party in respect of such supply and such VAT is found not to be chargeable in respect of such supply and, as a result, such Finance Party receives a credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority, the Finance Party shall promptly pay to the Party an amount equal to such credit or repayment (if any) (up to an amount equal to the VAT paid by that Party to the relevant Finance Party in relation to such supply) which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.
	(b)	If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

31

	(d)	(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
	(e)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
	(f)	Any reference in this clause 12.6 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under any applicable grouping rules.
	(g)	In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

	(b)	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.
	(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

12.8 FATCA Deduction

	(a)	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.
	(b)	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), and in any case at least three (3) Business Days prior to making a FATCA Deduction, notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, on or prior to the day on which it notifies that Party, shall also notify the Borrower, the Lender and the other Finance Parties.

	(e)	where such Finance Party is the Lender, at its own expense, its involvement in the Facility by way of internal and external pitch documents and the placement of “tombstone” or other advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals (and such other methods of publication as the Lender may choose from time to time).

33.3	Entire agreement

	(b)	the date on which such Finance Party otherwise ceases to be a Finance Party.

34	Interest Act of Canada
	For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent to the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
35	Usury
	If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Finance Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, 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 be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

	(a)	first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and
	(b)	thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Finance Party which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada),

in each case, if necessary, to be effected by repayment by such Finance Party to the Borrower of any amount already received by such Finance Party that would be reduced by this Section (it being agreed that such Finance Party may elect whether to effect such repayment and reduction by return of shares or by payment of the applicable amount in cash to the Borrower).

84

36	Future Financings
	The Borrower agrees in good faith to provide the Lender with the right to offer future debt finance ([redacted for commercially sensitive information]) and trading business on an equal basis with any other parties; further in the event that a club of syndicated transaction is proposed with another arranger that requires more than one lender, the Borrower will use reasonable commercial efforts to offer the Lender the opportunity to participate on an equal basis in the transaction. The Borrower will also undertake to consider using the Lender’s corporate advisory services should the opportunity arise. For greater certainty, this provision shall not restrict the Borrower from fulfilling prior agreements entered into with other financial institutions in relation to non-lending services.
37	Counterparts
	Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.
38	Contractual Recognition of Bail-In

	(a)	any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):
		(i)	a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;
		(ii)	a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and
		(iii)	a cancellation of any such liability; and
