If the Principal Borrower and the Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders do not (for any reason whatsoever) mutually agree (in their respective sole discretions, without any obligation to so agree) on such amendment or amendments to this Agreement within 60 days following the date of delivery of such written notice, the Principal Borrower, KMCL or the Parent as the case may be, shall either continue to provide financial statements in accordance with Old GAAP or provide all such financial information as is reasonably required (or requested by the Agent acting reasonably) in order for any amount required to be determined hereunder to be determined in accordance with Old GAAP and/or such prior accounting policy and, for all purposes hereof, the applicable changes from Old GAAP or in accounting policy (as the case may be) shall be disregarded hereunder and any amount required to be determined hereunder shall, nevertheless, continue to be determined under Old GAAP and/or such prior accounting policy.

 

(d)                                 If a Compliance Certificate is delivered in respect of a Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year in which an Accounting Change is implemented without giving effect to any revised method of calculating any financial calculation hereunder, and subsequently, as provided above, the method of calculating such financial

 

57



 

calculation is revised in response to such Accounting Change, or the amount to be determined pursuant to such financial calculation is to be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change, the Principal Borrower shall deliver a revised Compliance Certificate. Any Event of Default which arises as a result of the Accounting Change and which is cured by this Section 1.5 shall be deemed never to have occurred.

ARTICLE 2
CREDIT FACILITIES

 

2.1                               Construction Facility

 

(a)                                 Establishment of Construction Facility.  Subject to this Agreement, the Construction Facility Lenders hereby agree to establish in favour of the Principal Borrower a senior secured revolving construction credit facility (such facility, the “Construction Facility”) to be made available in accordance with this Agreement, provided that:

 

59



 

(i)                                   the obligation of each Construction Facility Lender to make Advances under the Construction Facility shall be several and shall be limited to each such Construction Facility Lender’s Construction Facility Commitment, and

 

(ii)                                subject to Section 7.3, at no time shall the Equivalent Amount in Cdn. Dollars of the Outstanding Principal under the Construction Facility exceed the Total Construction Facility Commitment.

 

(b)                                 Availability and Purpose. The Construction Facility shall, subject to this Agreement, be available by way of multiple Drawdowns on and after the Closing Date on a revolving basis prior to the Term Conversion Date, and the Principal Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Cdn. Dollars or US Dollars, may issue, repay and re-issue Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances, provided that (collectively, the “Construction Facility Funding Conditions”):

 

(i)                                   no more than one Drawdown under the Construction Facility may be requested in any calendar month;

 

(ii)                                each Drawdown under the Construction Facility shall only be used to fund, in whole or in part, Project Costs that are due (including the reimbursement to any Affiliate of the Principal Borrower who has advanced loans to an Obligor between the IPO Date and the Closing Date to fund Project-related Capital Expenditures of the Obligors during such period) as well as projected Project Costs for up to the next 60 day period and the maximum amount of each requested Drawdown shall not exceed the amount of such due and projected Project Costs;

 

(iii)                             Consolidated Total Funded Debt (excluding the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of the Outstanding Principal under the Working Capital Facility and Permitted Incremental Debt) shall not exceed 60% of the total pro forma Project Costs incurred and to be incurred over the period noted in clause (ii) above as set out in the applicable Drawdown Notice and for certainty including the total incremental Project Costs requested to be funded as set out in such Drawdown Notice; and

 

(iv)                            the Total Borrower Equity Financing, together with projected undrawn availability under the Construction Facility and the Contingent Facility over the next following 6 month period (and subject to the limitations on the permitted amount of Consolidated Total Funded Debt set out in clause (iii) above), is no less than the projected Project Costs for the next following 6 month period (the “Forward Funding Test”).

 

(c)                                  Drawdowns following Project Completion.  Each Drawdown under the Construction Facility requested by the Principal Borrower following the Project Completion Date shall only be used to fund, in whole or in part, Punch List Items, provided that, the maximum aggregate the Equivalent Amount in Canadian

 

60



 

Dollars of the Outstanding Principal of all Drawdowns requested under the Construction Facility in respect of Punch List Items, together with all Drawdowns requested under the Contingent Facility in respect of Punch List Items, shall not exceed Cdn.$200,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars) unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Independent Engineer.

 

(d)                                 Conversion to Term Loan.  The undrawn portion of the Construction Facility will be automatically cancelled at 5:01 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Term Conversion Date.  Effective at such time, the Construction Facility will cease to be a revolving type facility and the Outstanding Principal thereunder will become a non-revolving term loan in an equivalent principal amount.

 

2.2                               Contingent Facility

 

(a)                                 Establishment of Contingent Facility.  Subject to this Agreement, the Contingent Facility Lenders hereby agree to establish in favour of the Borrowers a senior secured revolving construction credit facility (such facility, the “Contingent Facility”) to be made available in accordance with this Agreement, provided that:

 

(i)                                   the obligation of each Contingent Facility Lender to make Advances under the Contingent Facility shall be several and shall be limited to each such Contingent Facility Lender’s Contingent Facility Commitment;

 

(ii)                                subject to Section 7.3, at no time shall the Equivalent Amount in Cdn. Dollars of the Outstanding Principal under the Contingent Facility exceed the Total Contingent Facility Commitment; and

 

(iii)                             the NEB Reserve Borrower shall only be permitted to request an Advance under the Contingent Facility for the purpose prescribed in Section 2.2(b)(i).

 

(b)                                 Availability and Purpose.  The Contingent Facility shall, subject to this Agreement, be available by way of multiple Drawdowns on and after the Closing Date on a revolving basis prior to the Term Conversion Date, and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Cdn. Dollars or US Dollars, may issue, repay and re-issue Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances, provided that (collectively, the “Contingent Facility Funding Conditions”):

 

(i)                                   except as provided in clause (ii) below, Drawdowns under the Contingent Facility shall only be requested by the NEB Reserve Borrower and used to satisfy the NEB Financial Resources Requirement in an aggregate principal amount of up to Cdn.$500,000,000 (in each case, a “NEB Reserve Drawdown”); and

 

61



 

(ii)                                  Drawdowns under the Contingent Facility may also be used to fund Project Costs if the Construction Facility has been fully drawn at the time of a Drawdown under the Contingent Facility and, in such case:

 

(A)                             no more than one Drawdown under the Contingent Facility may be requested in any calendar month and not in the same calendar month in which a Drawdown has been made under the Construction Facility;

 

(B)                             each Drawdown under the Contingent Facility shall only be used to fund, in whole or in part, Project Costs that are due as well as projected Project Costs for up to the next 60 day period and the maximum amount of each requested Drawdown shall not exceed the amount of such due and projected Project Costs;

 

(C)                             Consolidated Total Funded Debt (excluding the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of the Outstanding Principal under the Working Capital Facility and Permitted Incremental Debt) shall not exceed 60% of the total pro forma Project Costs incurred and to be incurred over the period noted in clause (B) above as set out in the applicable Drawdown Notice and for certainty including the total incremental Project Costs requested to be funded as set out in such Drawdown Notice; and

 

(D)                             the Forward Funding Test has been satisfied.

 

(c)                                  NEB Reserve Drawdowns and Cancellation.  Immediately upon any Advance being made by the Contingent Facility Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii), the NEB Reserve Borrower shall not be permitted to request any additional NEB Reserve Drawdowns pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) and the NEB Reserve Availability shall thereafter be immediately and permanently cancelled; provided however that the Total Contingent Facility Commitment shall not be reduced solely as a result thereof.

 

(d)                                 Drawdowns following Project Completion.  Each Drawdown under the Contingent Facility requested by the Principal Borrower following Project Completion shall only be used to fund, in whole or in part, Punch List Items, provided that, the maximum aggregate Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of the Outstanding Principal of all Drawdowns requested under the Contingent Facility in respect of Punch List Items, together with all Drawdowns requested under the Construction Facility in respect of Punch List Items, shall not exceed Cdn.$200,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in US Dollars) unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Independent Engineer.

 

62



 

2.3                               Working Capital Facility

 

(a)                                 Establishment of Working Capital Facility. Subject to this Agreement, the Working Capital Facility Lenders hereby agree to establish in favour of the Principal Borrower a revolving credit facility (such facility, the “Working Capital Facility”) to be made available in accordance with this Agreement until the Maturity Date, provided that:

 

(i)                                   the obligation of each Working Capital Facility Lender to make Advances under the Working Capital Facility shall be several and shall be limited to each such Working Capital Facility Lender’s Working Capital Facility Commitment, and

 

(ii)                                subject to Section 7.3, at no time shall the Equivalent Amount in Cdn. Dollars of the Outstanding Principal under the Working Capital Facility exceed the Total Working Capital Facility Commitment.

 

(b)                                 Availability and Purpose.  The Working Capital Facility shall, subject to this Agreement, be available by way of multiple Drawdowns on and after the Closing Date on a revolving basis prior to the Maturity Date, and the Principal Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Cdn. Dollars or US Dollars, may issue, repay and re-issue Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances and may obtain, cancel and re-obtain Letters of Credit thereunder, provided that:

 

(i)                                   each Drawdown shall be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes of the Obligors, including Capital Expenditures, unrelated to the Project;

 

(ii)                                to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (but not in any event for Capital Expenditures related to the Project prior to the Term Conversion Date); and

 

(iii)                             to make repayments of NEB Reserve Drawdowns in accordance with Section 7.1(e).

 

(c)                                  Increase in Working Capital Facility Commitments.  The Principal Borrower may at any time and from time to time add additional financial institutions hereunder as Working Capital Facility Lenders or, with the consent of the applicable Working Capital Facility Lender, increase the Working Capital Facility Commitment of such Working Capital Facility Lender, and, in each case, thereby increase the Total Working Capital Facility Commitment provided that at the time of any such addition:

 

(i)                                   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would reasonably be expected to result therefrom;

 

(ii)                                the Total Working Capital Facility Commitment, as a result of the application of this Section 2.3(c) or otherwise, shall not at any time exceed

 

63



 

Cdn.$750,000,000 minus the then Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of Permitted Incremental Debt;

 

(iii)                             the Agent and each Fronting Lender has consented to such financial institution becoming a Working Capital Facility Lender or, in the case of an existing Working Capital Facility Lender, increasing its Working Capital Facility Commitment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld;

 

(iv)                            the Working Capital Facility Commitment of a new financial institution being added as a Working Capital Facility Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall be no less than Cdn.$10,000,000;

 

(v)                               concurrently with the addition of a financial institution as an additional Working Capital Facility Lender or the increase of a Working Capital Facility Lender’s Working Capital Facility Commitment, such financial institution or Working Capital Facility Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase from each other Working Capital Facility Lender, such portion of the Outstandings under the Working Capital Facility owed to each Working Capital Facility Lender as is necessary to ensure that the Outstandings under the Working Capital Facility owed to all Working Capital Facility Lenders and including therein such additional financial institution and the increased Working Capital Facility Commitment of any Working Capital Facility Lender, are in accordance with the Applicable Percentage of all such Working Capital Facility Lenders (including any new financial institution and the increased Working Capital Facility Commitment of any Working Capital Facility Lender) and such financial institution shall execute such documentation as is required by the Agent, acting reasonably, to novate such financial institution as a Working Capital Facility Lender hereunder; provided that with respect to any portion of such Outstandings which are outstanding by way of Bankers’ Acceptance or LIBO Rate Loans, the new financial institution or such Working Capital Facility Lender shall provide an indemnity to the other Working Capital Facility Lenders (provided that no such indemnity may exceed two months in duration unless agreed to by all of the affected Working Capital Facility Lenders) in order to ensure such Bankers’ Acceptances and LIBO Rate Loans are outstanding in accordance with the new Applicable Percentages of all Working Capital Facility Lenders; and

 

(vi)                            the Principal Borrower has provided to the Agent a certified copy of a directors’ resolution of the Principal Borrower and each other Obligor authorizing any such increase in the Total Working Capital Facility Commitment (which may be the original directors’ resolutions authorizing the Credit Facilities hereunder) together with a legal opinion from Borrowers’ Counsel with respect thereto in substantially the same form, mutatis mutandis, as the opinion delivered on the Closing Date.

 

64

If and to the extent that the Principal Borrower fails to so notify the Agent, or to so pay the relevant LIBO Rate Loan in accordance with the foregoing, the Principal Borrower, in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, shall be deemed to have requested a Conversion into a USBR Loan, in each case in an amount equal to that portion of the LIBO Rate Loan which is not rolled over, converted or repaid.

 

(c)                                  Bankers’ Acceptances. In anticipation of the maturity of any Bankers’ Acceptances, the Principal Borrower shall, subject to and in accordance with the requirements hereof, do one or a combination of the following with respect to the aggregate face amount at maturity of all such Bankers’ Acceptances:

2.7                               Optional Reduction of Commitments

 

(a)                                 Reduction of Commitments Prior to Project Completion. Prior to the Project Completion Date, the Principal Borrower may, at its option, permanently reduce the Commitments under any Credit Facility by cancelling all or any part of the undrawn portion of such Credit Facility, provided that:

 

(i)                                     in the case of any cancellation and permanent reduction under either the Construction Facility or the Contingent Facility, the Principal Borrower shall be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Agent in consultation with the Independent Engineer, each acting reasonably, that:

 

(A)                             the Total Borrower Equity Financing plus the remaining undrawn Commitments under the Construction Facility and the Contingent Facility (subject to Sections 2.1(b)(iii) and 2.2(b)(ii)(C)) are sufficient to pay any then remaining Project Costs necessary to achieve Project Completion; and

 

(B)                             the Projected Project Completion Date, as confirmed by the Independent Engineer, is anticipated to be attained within 3 months after the proposed date of cancellation (and, for certainty, prior to the Outside Date);

 

(ii)                                  the Principal Borrower shall provide the Agent with at least 10 Banking Days’ prior written notice of any such cancellation (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree);

 

(iii)                               each such cancellation shall be a minimum of Cdn.$5,000,000 and in whole multiples of Cdn.$1,000,000 thereafter;

 

(iv)                              any such cancellation shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their respective Applicable Percentages under the applicable Credit Facility at the time of cancellation; and

 

(v)                                 any cancellation notice shall be irrevocable.

 

68



 

(b)                                 Reduction of Commitments Following Project Completion Date. At any time, and from time to time, following the Project Completion Date, the Principal Borrower may, at its option, permanently reduce the Commitments under any Credit Facility by cancelling all or any part of the undrawn portion of such Credit Facility, provided that:

 

(i)                                   the Principal Borrower shall provide the Agent with at least 3 Banking Days’ prior written notice of any such cancellation (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree);

 

(ii)                                each such cancellation shall be a minimum of Cdn.$5,000,000 and in whole multiples of Cdn.$1,000,000 thereafter;

 

(iii)                             any such cancellation shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their respective Applicable Percentages under the applicable Credit Facility at the time of cancellation; and

 

(iv)                            any cancellation notice shall be irrevocable.

 

2.8                               Several Obligations of Lenders

 

No Lender shall be responsible for the Commitments of any other Lenders. The failure of a Lender to make available its share of any Advance in accordance with this Agreement shall not release any other Lender from its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender shall be obligated to make Advances under any Credit Facility (based on the Equivalent Amount thereof in Cdn. Dollars) in excess of its applicable Commitment thereunder. The obligation of each Lender to make its Commitment available to the Borrowers under a Credit Facility is a separate obligation between that Lender and the Borrowers and such obligation is not the joint or the joint and several obligation of any other Lender.

 

2.9                               Loans - General

 

(a)                                 Making of Loans. Loans shall be made in such currency and at the time and in the manner requested by the applicable Borrower, subject to this Agreement and upon fulfilment of all conditions precedent to the making of such Loans.

 

(b)                                 Banking Day. No Loans shall be made except on a Banking Day.

81



 

4.9                               General Interest Provisions

 

(a)                               Rates. Each determination by the Agent of the Prime Rate, US Base Rate, CDOR Rate or LIBO Rate in effect at any time shall be prima facie evidence thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error.

 

(b)                               Accuracy of Rates. Each determination by the Agent of the amount of interest, fees or other amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of such determination, absent manifest error.

 

(c)                                Accrual. All interest, fees and other amounts payable by any Borrower hereunder shall accrue daily, be computed as described herein, and be payable both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment.

 

(d)                               Waivers. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the covenant of each Borrower to pay interest at the rates provided herein shall not merge in any judgment relating to any obligation of any Borrower to the Lenders or the Agent and any provision of the Interest Act (Canada) or Judgment Interest Act (Alberta) which restricts any rate of interest set forth herein shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is hereby waived by each Borrower.

 

(e)                                Maximum Rate. No interest or fee to be paid hereunder shall be paid at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. In the event that such interest or fee exceeds such maximum rate, such interest or fees shall be reduced or refunded, as the case may be, so as to be payable at the highest rate recoverable under Applicable Law.

 

(f)                                   Interest Act (Canada).

 

(i)                                   Whenever a rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

 

(ii)                                Whenever a rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder is expressed or calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, such rate of interest or other rate shall be expressed as a rate per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365 day year, by multiplying such rate of interest or other rate by 365 and dividing it by 360.

 

(g)                                No Deemed Reinvestment. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be

 

82



 

nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

 

4.10                        Defaulting Lender Fees

 

Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees payable under this Article 4 for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the Loans funded by it. With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Loans that has been reallocated to the other Lenders as provided for in Section 16.11(b) or Section 16.11(d).

 

ARTICLE 5
BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCES

 

5.1                               Form and Execution of Bankers’ Acceptances

 

The following provisions shall apply to each Bankers’ Acceptance under any Credit Facility:

 

(a)                               the face amount at maturity of each draft drawn by the Principal Borrower to be accepted as a Bankers’ Acceptance shall be at least in the amounts set out in Section 2.5(b)(iii);

 

(b)                               the term to maturity of each draft drawn by the Principal Borrower to be accepted as a Bankers’ Acceptance shall, subject to market availability as determined by the Applicable Lenders, be 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or such other longer or shorter term as agreed by all of the Applicable Lenders), as selected by the Principal Borrower in the relevant Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, and each Bankers’ Acceptance shall be payable and mature on the last day of the Interest Period selected by the Principal Borrower for such Bankers’ Acceptance;

 

(c)                                each draft drawn by the Principal Borrower and presented for acceptance by an Applicable Lender shall be drawn on the standard form of such Lender in effect at the time; provided, however, that the Agent may require the Applicable Lenders to use a generic form of Bankers’ Acceptance, in a form satisfactory to each Lender, acting reasonably, provided by the Agent for such purpose in place of such Lenders’ own forms;

 

(d)                               subject to Section 5.1(e), Bankers’ Acceptances shall be signed by Authorized Officers of the Principal Borrower or, in the alternative, the signatures of such officers may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile thereon and Bankers’ Acceptances bearing such facsimile signatures shall be binding on the Principal Borrower as if they had been manually executed and delivered by such officers on behalf of the Principal Borrower; notwithstanding that any person whose manual

 

83



 

or facsimile signature appears on any Bankers’ Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for the Principal Borrower on the date of issuance of a Bankers’ Acceptance, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such Bankers’ Acceptance shall be binding on the Principal Borrower; and

 

(e)                                in lieu of the Principal Borrower signing Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with Section 5.1(d) and, for so long as the power of attorney in Section 5.2(a) is in force with respect to a given Lender, such Lender shall execute and deliver Bankers’ Acceptances on behalf of the Principal Borrower in accordance with the provisions thereof and, for certainty, all references herein to drafts drawn by the Principal Borrower, Bankers’ Acceptances executed by the Principal Borrower or similar expressions shall be deemed to include Bankers’ Acceptances executed in accordance with such power of attorney, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

If and for so long as the power of attorney referred to in Section 5.2(a) is in force with respect to each of the Lenders, it is intended that pursuant to the DBNA, all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by the Lenders under this Agreement will be issued in the form of a “depository bill” (as defined in the DBNA), deposited with a “clearing house” (as defined in the DBNA including The Canadian Depository for Securities Ltd. or its nominee CDS & Co.). In order to give effect to the foregoing, the Agent will, subject to the approval of the Principal Borrower and the Applicable Lenders, establish and notify the Principal Borrower and the Applicable Lenders of any additional procedures, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the DBNA, as are reasonably necessary to accomplish such intention, including:

 

(a)                               any instrument held by the Agent for the purposes of Bankers’ Acceptances will have marked prominently and legibly on its face and within its text, at or before the time of issue, the words “This is a depository bill subject to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)”;

 

(b)                               any reference to the authentication of the Bankers’ Acceptance will be removed; and

 

(c)                                any reference to the “bearer” will be removed and such Bankers’ Acceptances will not be marked with any words prohibiting negotiation, transfer or assignment of it or of an interest in it.

 

5.2                               Power of Attorney; Provision of Bankers’ Acceptances to Lenders

 

(a)                               Power of Attorney. As a condition precedent to each Applicable Lender’s obligation to accept Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, the Principal Borrower hereby appoints each Lender, acting by any authorized signatory of the Lender in question, the attorney of the Principal Borrower:

 

(i)                                     to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Principal Borrower as drawer, drafts in such Lender’s standard form which are depository bills as defined in the DBNA, payable to a “clearing house” (as defined in the

 

84



 

DBNA) including The Canadian Depository For Securities Limited or its nominee, CDS & Co. (the “clearing house”);

 

(ii)                                  for drafts which are not depository bills, to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Principal Borrower as drawer and to endorse on its behalf, Bankers’ Acceptances drawn on the Lender payable to the order of the undersigned or payable to the order of such Lender;

 

(iii)                               for Discount Notes, to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Principal Borrower as drawer and to endorse on its behalf Discount Notes payable to the order of such Lender;

 

(iv)                              to fill in the amount, date and maturity date of such Bankers’ Acceptances (or Discount Notes as applicable); and

 

(v)                                 to deposit and/or deliver such Bankers’ Acceptances which have been accepted by such Lender or such Discount Notes which are payable to the order of such Lender,

 

provided that such acts in each case are to be undertaken by the Applicable Lender in question strictly in accordance with instructions given to such Lender by the Principal Borrower as provided in this Section. For certainty, signatures of any authorized signatory of a Lender may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile on Bankers’ Acceptances (or Discount Notes as applicable) in accordance herewith and such facsimile signatures shall be binding and effective as if they had been manually executed by such authorized signatory of such Lender.

 

Instructions from the Principal Borrower to a Lender relating to the execution, completion, endorsement, discount, deposit and/or delivery by that Lender on behalf of the Principal Borrower of Bankers’ Acceptances (or Discount Notes as applicable) which the Principal Borrower wishes to submit to such Lender for acceptance by such Lender shall be communicated by the Principal Borrower in writing to the Agent by delivery to the Agent of Drawdown Notices and Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notices, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement which, in turn, shall be communicated by the Agent, on behalf of the Principal Borrower, to the Lender.

 

The communication in writing by the Principal Borrower, or on behalf of the Principal Borrower by the Agent, to a Lender of the instructions set out in the Drawdown Notices and Conversion/Rollover/Repayment  Notices referred to above shall constitute (a) the authorization and instruction of the Principal Borrower to such Lender to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Principal Borrower as drawer the requested Bankers’ Acceptances (or Discount Notes as applicable) and to complete and/or endorse Bankers’ Acceptances (or Discount Notes as applicable) in accordance with such information as set out above and (b) the request of the Principal Borrower to such Lender to accept such

 

85



 

Bankers’ Acceptances and deposit the same with the clearing house or deliver the same, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and such instructions. The Principal Borrower acknowledges that a Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such Bankers’ Acceptances except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

A Lender shall be and it is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Principal Borrower upon and in compliance with instructions communicated to that Lender as provided herein if such Lender reasonably believes such instructions to be genuine. If a Lender accepts Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to any such instructions, that Lender shall confirm particulars of such instructions and advise the Agent that it has complied therewith by notice in writing addressed to the Agent and served personally or sent by facsimile in accordance with the provisions hereof. A Lender’s actions in compliance with such instructions, and (if applicable) confirmed and advised to the Agent by such notice, shall be conclusively deemed to have been in accordance with the instructions of the Principal Borrower.

 

This power of attorney may be revoked by the Principal Borrower with respect to any particular Lender at any time upon not less than 3 Banking Days’ prior written notice served upon the Lender in question and the Agent, provided that no such revocation shall reduce, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Principal Borrower in respect of any Bankers’ Acceptance (or Discount Note as applicable) executed, completed, endorsed, deposited and/or delivered in accordance herewith prior to the time at which such revocation becomes effective.

 

(b)                                 Blank Drafts. If the power of attorney in Section 5.2(a) is revoked with respect to any Lender, the Principal Borrower shall, from time to time as required by the Applicable Lenders, provide to the Agent for delivery to each such Lender drafts drawn in blank by the Principal Borrower (pre-endorsed and otherwise in fully negotiable form, if applicable) in quantities sufficient for each such Lender to fulfil its obligations hereunder. Any such pre-signed drafts which are delivered by the Principal Borrower to the Agent or a Lender shall be held in safekeeping by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, with the same degree of care as if they were the Agent’s or such Lender’s property, and shall only be dealt with by the Lenders and the Agent in accordance herewith. No Lender shall be responsible or liable for its failure to make its share of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion of Bankers’ Acceptances required hereunder if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Principal Borrower to provide such pre-signed drafts to the Agent (for delivery to such Lender) on a timely basis.

 

(c)                                  Execution of Drafts. By 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the applicable Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, the Principal Borrower shall (i) either deliver to each Applicable Lender, or, if previously delivered, be deemed to have authorized each Applicable Lender to complete and accept, or (ii) where the power of attorney in Section 5.2(a) is in force with respect to an Applicable

 

86



 

Lender, be deemed to have authorized each such Lender to sign on behalf of the Principal Borrower, complete and accept, drafts drawn by the Principal Borrower on such Lender in a principal amount at maturity equal to such Lender’s share of the Bankers’ Acceptances specified by the Principal Borrower in the relevant Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment, as the case may be, as notified to the Lenders by the Agent.

 

5.3                               Mechanics of Issuance

 

(a)                               Terms of Bankers’ Acceptance. Upon receipt by the Agent of a Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice from the Principal Borrower requesting the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances under a Credit Facility, the Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Lenders thereof and advise each Applicable Lender of the aggregate face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by such Lender, the date of issue, the Interest Period for such Loan and, whether such Bankers’ Acceptances are to be self-marketed by the Principal Borrower or purchased by such Applicable Lender for its own account; the apportionment among such Applicable Lenders of the face amounts of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by each Applicable Lender shall be determined by the Agent by reference and in proportion to the respective applicable Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility of each Applicable Lender; provided that, when such apportionment cannot be evenly made, the Agent shall round allocations amongst such Lenders consistent with the Agent’s normal money market practices.

 

(b)                               Marketing by Borrower. Unless the Principal Borrower has elected pursuant to Section 5.3(c) to have each Lender purchase for its own account the Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by it in respect of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion under a Credit Facility, on each Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date involving the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances:

 

(i)                                   the Principal Borrower shall obtain quotations from prospective purchasers regarding the sale of the Bankers’ Acceptances and shall accept such offers in its sole discretion;

 

(ii)                                by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on such date, the Principal Borrower shall provide the Agent with details regarding the sale of the Bankers’ Acceptances described in (i) above whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Lenders of the identity of the purchasers of such Bankers’ Acceptances, the amounts being purchased by such purchasers, the BA Discount Proceeds and the acceptance fees applicable to such issue of Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to Section 4.4 (including each Applicable Lender’s share thereof);

 

(iii)                             each Applicable Lender shall complete and accept in accordance with the Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice delivered by the Principal Borrower and, if applicable, advised by the Agent in

 

87



 

connection with such issue, its share of the Bankers’ Acceptances to be issued on such date; and

 

(iv)                            in the case of a Drawdown, each Applicable Lender shall, on receipt of the BA Discount Proceeds, remit the BA Discount Proceeds (net of the acceptance fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.4) to the Agent for the account of the Borrower; the Agent shall make such funds available to the Principal Borrower for same day value on such date.

 

(c)                                Purchase by Schedule I Lenders. The Principal Borrower may, with respect to the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances under a Credit Facility, elect in the Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, as the case may be, delivered in respect of such issuance to have the Applicable Lenders purchase such Bankers’ Acceptances for their own account.  On each such Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date involving the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances being so purchased by the Applicable Lenders:

 

(i)                                   on or about 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on such date, the Agent shall determine the CDOR Rate and shall obtain quotations from each Schedule II Lender or Schedule III Lender of the Discount Rate then applicable to bankers’ acceptances accepted by such Schedule II Lender or Schedule III Lender in respect of an issue of bankers’ acceptances in a comparable amount and with comparable maturity to the Bankers’ Acceptances proposed to be issued on such date;

 

(ii)                                on or about 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on such date, the Agent shall determine the BA Discount Rate applicable to each Applicable Lender and shall advise each Applicable Lender of the BA Discount Rate applicable to it;

 

(iii)                             each relevant Applicable Lender shall complete and accept, in accordance with the Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice delivered by the Principal Borrower and (if applicable) advised by the Agent in connection with such issue, its share of the Bankers’ Acceptances to be issued on such date and shall purchase such Bankers’ Acceptances for its own account at a purchase price which reflects the BA Discount Rate applicable to such issue; and

 

(iv)                            in the case of a Drawdown, each Applicable Lender shall, for same day value on the Drawdown Date, remit the BA Discount Proceeds or advance the BA Equivalent Advance, as the case may be, payable by such Lender (net of the acceptance fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.4) to the Agent for the account of the Principal Borrower; the Agent shall make such funds available to the Principal Borrower for same day value on such date.

 

88



 

(d)                               Lenders’ Rights. Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it for its own account.

 

5.4                               Rollover, Conversion or Payment on Maturity

 

In anticipation of the maturity of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Principal Borrower shall, subject to and in accordance with the requirements hereof, do one or a combination of the following with respect to the aggregate face amount at maturity of all such Bankers’ Acceptances:

 

(a)                                 (i) deliver to the Agent a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice that the Borrower intends to draw and present for acceptance on the maturity date new Bankers’ Acceptances (issued under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances) in an aggregate face amount up to the aggregate amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances and (ii) make the payments required under Section 5.6;

 

(b)                                 (i) deliver to the Agent a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice requesting a Conversion of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances to another type of Loan under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances and (ii) make the payments required under Section 5.7; or

 

(c)                                  on the maturity date of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances, pay to the Agent for the account of the Applicable Lenders an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances.

 

If the Principal Borrower fails to so notify the Agent or make such payments on maturity, the Agent shall effect a Conversion into a Prime Loan under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances of the entire amount of such maturing Bankers’ Acceptances as if a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice had been given by the Borrower to the Agent to that effect.

 

5.5                               Restriction on Rollovers and Conversions

 

Subject to the other provisions hereof, Conversions and Rollovers of Bankers’ Acceptances may only occur on the maturity date thereof.

 

5.6                               Rollovers

 

In order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Principal Borrower to a Lender for the face amount of maturing Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by such Lender, such Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the BA Discount Proceeds of new Bankers’ Acceptances issued on a Rollover, and the Principal Borrower shall on the maturity date of the Bankers’ Acceptances being rolled over pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances and the BA Discount Proceeds from the new Bankers’ Acceptances, together with the acceptance fees to which the relevant Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 4.4.

 

89



 

5.7                               Conversion into Bankers’ Acceptances

 

In respect of Conversions into Bankers’ Acceptances, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Principal Borrower to the Lenders for the amount of the converted Loan, each Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the BA Discount Proceeds of the Bankers’ Acceptances issued upon such Conversion, and the Principal Borrower shall on the Conversion Date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of the converted Loan and the aggregate BA Discount Proceeds from the Bankers’ Acceptances issued on such Conversion, together with the acceptance fees to which the relevant Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 4.4.

 

5.8                               Conversion from Bankers’ Acceptances

 

In order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Principal Borrower to the Lenders for an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances converted to another type of Loan, the Agent shall record the obligation of the Principal Borrower to the Lenders as a Loan of the type into which such continuing liability has been converted.

 

5.9                               BA Equivalent Advances

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5, a Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting Bankers’ Acceptances, make a BA Equivalent Advance. The amount of each BA Equivalent Advance shall be equal to the BA Discount Proceeds which would be realized from a hypothetical sale of those Bankers’ Acceptances which, but for this Section 5.9, such Lender would otherwise be required to accept as part of such a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances. To determine the amount of such BA Discount Proceeds, the hypothetical sale shall be deemed to take place at the BA Discount Rate for such Loan. Any BA Equivalent Advance shall be made on the relevant Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date as the case may be and shall remain outstanding for the term of the relevant Bankers’ Acceptances. Concurrent with the making of a BA Equivalent Advance, a Non-Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct therefrom an amount equal to the acceptance fee which, but for this Section 5.9, such Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive as part of such Loan. Subject to Section 5.4, upon the maturity date for such Bankers’ Acceptances, the Principal Borrower shall pay to each Non-Acceptance Lender an amount equal to the face amount at maturity of the Bankers’ Acceptances which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be required to accept as part of such a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances as repayment of the amount of its BA Equivalent Advance; for all purposes of this Agreement, the principal amount of each Loan made by way of BA Equivalent Advance shall be deemed to be such face amount.  All BA Equivalent Advances made by a Non-Acceptance Lender shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a Discount Note.

 

All references herein to “Loans” and “Bankers’ Acceptances” shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include BA Equivalent Advances made by a Non-Acceptance Lender as part of a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances.

 

90



 

5.10                        Termination of Bankers’ Acceptances

 

If at any time a Lender ceases to accept bankers’ acceptances in the ordinary course of its business, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Acceptance Lender and shall make BA Equivalent Advances in lieu of accepting Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement.

 

5.11                        Borrower Acknowledgements

 

In the event that the Principal Borrower is marketing its own Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with Section 5.3(b), the Principal Borrower hereby agrees that it shall make its own arrangements for the marketing and sale of such Bankers’ Acceptances to be issued hereunder and that neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any obligation nor be responsible in that regard.  The Principal Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the availability of purchasers for such Bankers’ Acceptances requested to be issued hereunder, as well as all risks relating to the purchasers thereof, are its own risk.

(i)                                   any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the applicable Fronting Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to the applicable Fronting Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the applicable Fronting Lender shall prohibit, or request that the applicable Fronting Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the applicable Fronting Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the applicable Fronting Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the applicable Fronting Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not

 

91



 

applicable on the Closing Date and which, in each case, the applicable Fronting Lender in good faith deems material to it;

 

(ii)                                subject to Section 6.2(c), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months (or 364 days in the case of trade Letters of Credit) after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the applicable Fronting Lender has approved such expiry date;

(c)                                  Amendments. No Fronting Lender shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) the applicable Fronting Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(d)                                 Indemnities. The applicable Fronting Lender shall act on behalf of the Working Capital Facility Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the applicable Fronting Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in Article 15 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the applicable Fronting Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and LC Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in Article 15 included the applicable Fronting Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the applicable Fronting Lender.

(a)                                 LC Application. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Principal Borrower delivered to the applicable Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of a LC Application, appropriately completed and signed by the Principal Borrower. Such LC Application must be received by the applicable Fronting Lender and the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) at least 3 Banking Days (or such shorter period as the applicable Fronting Lender and the Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such LC Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Fronting Lender: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Banking Day); (ii) the amount thereof (including the specification of currency); (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (viii) such other matters as the applicable Fronting Lender may reasonably request.

(b)                                 Issuance. Promptly after receipt of any LC Application, the applicable Fronting Lender will confirm with the Agent that the Agent has received a copy of such LC Application from the Principal Borrower and, if not, the applicable Fronting Lender will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the applicable Fronting Lender of confirmation from the Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Fronting Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Principal Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Fronting Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

93



 

(c)                                  Auto-Renewal. If the Principal Borrower so requests in any LC Application, the applicable Fronting Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Fronting Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (or, in the case of trade Letters of Credit, at least once in each 364-day period) (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period (or 364-day period, as applicable) to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Fronting Lender, the Principal Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Fronting Lender for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Fronting Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit; provided that, for avoidance of doubt, the Principal Borrower shall ensure that any Letter of Credit with an expiry date after the Maturity Date complies with Section 6.1(b)(iii).

 

(d)                                 Copies of Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Fronting Lender will also deliver to the Principal Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and (in the case of a Letter of Credit) the Agent shall notify each Working Capital Facility Lender of such issuance or amendment and the amount of such Working Capital Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage share thereof and, upon a specific request by any Working Capital Facility Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

6.3                               Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations

 

(a)                                 Drawing under Letter of Credit. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Principal Borrower and the Agent thereof. If the applicable Fronting Lender notifies the Principal Borrower of such payment prior to 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the date of any payment by the applicable Fronting Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Principal Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Fronting Lender through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing by no later than the next succeeding Banking Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit. If the Principal Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable Fronting Lender by such time, the Principal Borrower shall be deemed to have effected a Conversion of such Letter of Credit to Prime Loans (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) or USBR Loans (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars), to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), without regard to the

 

94



 

minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.5 or whether there is compliance with any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. Such deemed Conversion shall be to a Working Capital Loan. The Agent shall promptly notify each Working Capital Facility Lender of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Working Capital Facility Lender’s pro rata share thereof. Any notice given by a Fronting Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

(b)                                 Reimbursement by Lenders. Each Working Capital Facility Lender (including the Working Capital Facility Lender acting as a Fronting Lender) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 6.3(a) make funds available (and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at the Agent’s Branch in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Banking Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon each Working Capital Facility Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a USBR Loan (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars) or a Prime Loan (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars), to the Principal Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Fronting Lender.

 

(c)                                  Interest. Until each Working Capital Facility Lender funds its Applicable Percentage share of any Working Capital Loan pursuant to this Section 6.3 to reimburse the applicable Fronting Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.

 

(d)                                 Additional Reimbursement Provisions. Each Working Capital Facility Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital Loans to reimburse a Fronting Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 6.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, the Principal Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (iii) non-compliance with any of the conditions set forth in Article 3 or (iv) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of a Working Capital Loan shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Principal Borrower to reimburse the applicable Fronting Lender for the amount of any payment made by the applicable Fronting Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(e)                                  Failure of Lender to Reimburse. If any Working Capital Facility Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender any amount required to be paid by such Working Capital Facility Lender pursuant to

 

95



 

the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 by the time specified in Section 6.3(b), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Working Capital Facility Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable Fronting Lender at a rate per annum reasonably determined by the applicable Fronting Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Fronting Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Working Capital Facility Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Working Capital Facility Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing in respect of the relevant  LC Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Fronting Lender submitted to any Working Capital Facility Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 6.3(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

6.4                               Repayment of Participations

 

(a)                                 Reimbursement by Principal Borrower. If, at any time after a Fronting Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any Working Capital Facility Lender such Lender’s Applicable Percentage share of any Working Capital Loan in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 6.3, if the Agent receives for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Principal Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Working Capital Facility Lender its Applicable Percentage share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Working Capital Facility Lender’s Working Capital Loan was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Agent.

 

(b)                                 Claw-Back of Reimbursement Amounts. If any payment received by the Agent for the account of a Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 6.3(a) is required to be returned by Applicable Law (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable Fronting Lender in its discretion), each Working Capital Facility Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender its Applicable Percentage share thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Working Capital Facility Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Working Capital Facility Lenders under this subparagraph shall survive the repayment of the Outstandings under the Working Capital Facility in full and the cancellation of the Working Capital Facility.

 

96



 

6.5                               Obligations Absolute

 

The obligation of the Principal Borrower to reimburse the applicable Fronting Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

(a)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(b)                                 the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Principal Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Fronting Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(c)                                  any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

(d)                                 any payment by the applicable Fronting Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable Fronting Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, in each case in the absence of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Fronting Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

 

(e)                                  any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Obligor Guarantee or any Security Document, for all or any of the Outstandings of the Principal Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

 

(f)                                   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Principal Borrower, in each case in the absence of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Fronting Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

97



 

6.6                               Role of Fronting Lenders

 

Each of the Principal Borrower and the Working Capital Facility Lenders agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, a Fronting Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Fronting Lenders, any Related Party of any Fronting Lender nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Fronting Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Working Capital Facility Lenders or the Required Working Capital Facility Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted by it in the absence of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or LC Application. The Principal Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Principal Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Fronting Lenders, any Related Party of any Fronting Lender, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Fronting Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (e) of Section 6.5; provided, however, that anything in such subparagraphs to the contrary notwithstanding, the Principal Borrower may have a claim against a Fronting Lender, and a Fronting Lender may be liable to the Principal Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Principal Borrower which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment were caused by a Fronting Lender’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence or a Fronting Lender’s bad faith, willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Fronting Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no Fronting Lender shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

6.7                               Applicability of ISP98 and UCP

 

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by a Fronting Lender and the Principal Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (a) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

 

98



 

6.8                               Applicant Under Letter of Credit

 

If the Principal Borrower so requests in any applicable LC Application, any other Obligor may be named as the applicant in the applicable Letter of Credit; provided that the Principal Borrower shall remain fully liable for all fees and reimbursement obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit.

 

6.9                               Conflict with LC Application

 

In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any LC Application, the terms hereof shall control.

The Borrowers may, without premium or penalty and at any time and from time to time, repay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the whole or any part of any Loan under any Credit Facility (as directed by the applicable Borrower) together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such repayment; provided that:

 

(a)                                 in anticipation of any repayment of any Loan, the applicable Borrower shall give a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice to the Agent at least (i) 3 Banking Days prior to any such repayment in the case of LIBO Rate Loan, and (ii) 1 Banking Day prior to any such repayment, in the case of any other Loan;

 

(b)                                 each repayment of any Loan shall be in a minimum amount equal to the lesser of:

7.3                               Currency Excess

 

(a)                                 Requirement to Repay. If the Agent determines that the Equivalent Amount in Cdn. Dollars of the Outstanding Principal under a Credit Facility exceeds the aggregate amount of all Lender Commitments under such Credit Facility (the amount of such excess is herein called the “Currency Excess”), then, upon written request by the Agent (which request shall detail the applicable Currency Excess), the Principal Borrower shall either repay sufficient Outstanding Principal under the applicable Credit Facility to remove the Currency Excess or collateralize the Currency Excess in accordance with Section 7.3(b) within (i) if the Currency Excess exceeds 3% of the aggregate amount of all Lender Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility, 5 Banking Days, or (ii) if the Currency Excess is less than 3% of the aggregate amount of all Lender Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility, 20 Banking Days.

 

(b)                                 Failure to Repay. If and to the extent that the Principal Borrower fails to make sufficient repayments to eliminate such Currency Excess (the remainder thereof

 

101



 

being herein called the “Currency Excess Deficiency”), the Principal Borrower shall place an amount equal to the Currency Excess Deficiency on deposit with the Agent in an interest-bearing account with interest at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for the account of the Principal Borrower, to be held and applied to maturing Bankers’ Acceptances or LIBO Rate Loans, as the case may be (converted if necessary at the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount on the date of such application). The Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Principal Borrower to apply any such sums on deposit to maturing Loans under the applicable Credit Facility as provided in the preceding sentence. Upon the Currency Excess being eliminated as aforesaid or by virtue of subsequent changes in the exchange rate for determining the Equivalent Amount, then, provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, such funds on deposit, together with interest thereon, shall be returned to the Principal Borrower.

 

7.4                               Additional Repayment Terms

 

(a)                                 Breakage Costs. If any LIBO Rate Loan is repaid or converted on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Principal Borrower shall, within 3 Banking Days after notice is given by the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders all costs, losses, premiums and expenses incurred by such Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender, upon becoming entitled to be paid such costs, losses, premiums and expenses, shall deliver to the Principal Borrower and the Agent, a certificate of such Lender, prepared in good faith, certifying as to such amounts and, in the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

 

(b)                                 Cash Collateral — Bankers’ Acceptances. With respect to the prepayment or Cash Collateralization of unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances required as a result of Section 7.2(e) or 12.4, the Principal Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of such unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances by paying to and depositing with the Agent Cash Collateral for each such unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances equal to the face amount payable at maturity thereof; such Cash Collateral deposited by the Principal Borrower shall be held by the Agent in an interest-bearing Cash Collateral Account with interest to be credited to the Principal Borrower at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Agent. Such Cash Collateral Account shall be assigned to the Agent as security for the obligations of the Principal Borrower in relation to such Bankers’ Acceptances and the security of the Agent thereby created shall rank in priority to all other Liens and adverse claims against such Cash Collateral. Such Cash Collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Principal Borrower for such Bankers’ Acceptances as they mature and the Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Principal Borrower to apply any such Cash Collateral to such maturing Bankers’ Acceptances. Amounts held in such Cash Collateral Accounts may not be withdrawn by the Principal Borrower without the consent of the Lenders;

 

102



 

however, interest on such deposited amounts shall be for the account of the Principal Borrower and may be withdrawn by the Principal Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If after maturity of the Bankers’ Acceptances for which such funds are held and application by the Agent of the amounts in such Cash Collateral Accounts to satisfy the obligations of the Principal Borrower hereunder with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptances being repaid, any excess remains, such excess shall be promptly paid by the Agent to the Principal Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

 

(c)                                  Cash Collateral — Letters of Credit. With respect to the prepayment or Cash Collateralization of undrawn Letters of Credit required as a result of Section 7.2(f) or 12.4, the Principal Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of such undrawn Letters of Credit by paying to and depositing with the Agent Cash Collateral for each such undrawn Letter of Credit equal to the maximum then undrawn amount payable at the maturity thereof; such Cash Collateral deposited by the Principal Borrower shall be held by the Agent in an interest-bearing Cash Collateral Account with interest to be credited to the Principal Borrower at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Agent. Such Cash Collateral Account shall be assigned to the Agent as security for the LC Obligations in relation to such Letters of Credit and the security of the Agent thereby created shall rank in priority to all other Liens and adverse claims against such Cash Collateral. Such Cash Collateral shall be applied to satisfy the LC Obligations for such Letters of Credit if they are drawn and the Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Principal Borrower to apply any such Cash Collateral to pay the applicable LC Obligations. Amounts held in such Cash Collateral Accounts may not be withdrawn by the Principal Borrower without the consent of the Working Capital Facility Lenders; however, interest on such deposited amounts shall be for the account of the Principal Borrower and may be withdrawn by the applicable Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If after the expiration or cancellation of the Letters of Credit for which such funds are held and application by the Agent of the amounts in such Cash Collateral Accounts to satisfy the applicable LC Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit, any excess remains, such excess shall be promptly paid by the Agent to the Principal Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

 

7.5                               Payments — General

 

(a)                                 Unconditional Payments. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement shall be made unconditionally and without set-off, defence, counterclaim or other reduction of any type, in the currency in which the Loan is outstanding for value on the day such amount is due, and if such day is not a Banking Day on the Banking Day next following, by deposit or transfer thereof to the Agent’s Accounts or at such other place as the applicable Borrower and the Agent may from time to time agree. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this

 

103



 

Agreement, the receipt by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement of any payment made by a Borrower for the account of any of the Lenders shall, insofar as the Borrowers’ obligations to the relevant Lenders are concerned, be deemed also to be receipt by such Lenders and the Borrowers shall have no liability in respect of any failure or delay on the part of the Agent in disbursing and/or accounting to the relevant Lenders in regard thereto.

 

(b)                                 Value. All payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts to be made by the Agent to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement shall be made for value on the day required hereunder, provided that the Agent receives funds from a Borrower for value on such day, and if such funds are not so received from such Borrower or if such day is not a Banking Day, on the Banking Day next following, by deposit or transfer thereof at the time specified herein to the account of each Lender designated by such Lender to the Agent for such purpose or to such other place or account as the Lenders may from time to time notify the Agent.

 

(c)                                  Non-Banking Days. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, if any payment required hereunder shall become due and payable on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next following Banking Day and any extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest payable hereunder relating to such payment.

 

7.6                               Application of Payments after Default

 

(a)                                 Rateable Payments. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by all of the Lenders and subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, all monies and property received by the Lenders for application in respect of the Lender Secured Obligations after delivery of a notice pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or the occurrence of an Event of Default set out in Section 12.1(f) or Section 12.1(g) and all monies received as a result of a realization upon the Security Documents shall be applied and distributed to the Lenders and the Agent in the following order:

 

(i)                                     Rateably to the Lenders and the Agent in accordance with amounts owing to each Lender and the Agent on account of the costs and expenses of enforcement and realization upon the Security Documents; and

 

(ii)                                  Rateably to the Lender Secured Parties on account of the Lender Secured Obligations;

 

with the balance (if any) to be paid to the Principal Borrower or otherwise as may be required by Applicable Law.  Amounts and other distributions due to the Agent and the Lenders in respect of the Outstandings pursuant to paragraph (ii) above shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.6(b). For the foregoing purposes, “Rateably” means, at any date of determination, the proportion that the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of the amount of Lender Secured

 

104



 

Obligations due to any Lender bears to the aggregate of the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of the Lender Secured Obligations of all Lenders.

 

(b)                                 Lender Secured Obligations. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by all of the Lenders and subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, all payments and other distributions required to be made to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.6(a)(ii) in respect of the Outstandings shall be applied in the following order:

The Principal Borrower represents and warrants as follows to the Agent and to each of the Lenders and acknowledges and confirms that the Agent and each of the Lenders are relying upon such representations and warranties:

 

(a)                                 Status.  Each Obligor has been duly incorporated, amalgamated or formed, as applicable, and is validly existing under the law of its jurisdiction of incorporation, amalgamation or formation, as applicable. Each of the Obligors is duly licensed, registered or qualified in all jurisdictions where the character of its Property owned or leased or the nature of the activities conducted by it makes such licensing, registration or qualification necessary or desirable, except to the extent failure to be so licensed, registered or qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                                 Power and Capacity.  Each of the Obligors has full corporate, partnership or other (as applicable) capacity, power and authority:

 

(i)                                     to own, lease and operate its respective properties and assets and carry on its respective business as presently carried on and, if applicable, as

 

106



 

contemplated to be carried on under the Material Project Agreements to which it is a party; and

 

(ii)                                  to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to do all acts and execute and deliver all other documents as are required hereunder or thereunder to be done, observed or performed by it or them in accordance with their respective terms and, in the case of the Borrowers, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Authorization; Execution and Delivery.  Each of the Obligors has taken all necessary corporate, partnership and other action (as applicable) to authorize the creation, execution and delivery of, and performance of its respective obligations under, each of the Loan Documents and Material Project Agreements to which it is then a party in accordance with the respective terms thereof, and each such Loan Document and Material Project Agreements has been, or when signed and delivered will have been, duly executed and delivered in accordance with such corporate, partnership or other action (as applicable).

 

(d)                                 Validity and Enforceability.  This Agreement constitutes and each other Loan Document constitutes or, when executed and delivered, will constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Obligors that is a party thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application limiting the enforceability of creditors’ rights, and to general principles of equity.

 

(e)                                  No Violation, Breach, Conflict etc.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Material Project Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and conditions of any of them:

 

(i)                                     has resulted, or will result, in a violation of the articles, by-laws, partnership agreement, unanimous shareholders’ agreement or other constating or governing documents of any Obligor party thereto or any resolutions passed by the directors, shareholders or partners (as applicable) of such Obligor;

 

(ii)                                  has resulted, or will result, in a violation of any Applicable Law or any Required Permit that has then been issued or which is then required to have been obtained for the current state of the Project, except to the extent such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(iii)                               has resulted, or will result, in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any loan agreement, indenture, trust deed or any other agreement or instrument to which any Obligor is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound, or requires any consent thereunder other than such as has already been received (including the Material Project Agreements then in effect),

 

107



 

except to the extent that such breach, default or failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

 

(iv)                              has resulted or will result, in the creation of, or the obligation to create, any Lien on, against or in respect of any of the Property of any Obligor except for Permitted Liens or except as expressly permitted or contemplated hereby or thereby or by any other Loan Document.

 

(f)                                   Authorizations.

 

(i)                                     All material Governmental Authorizations (including all Required Permits and material Environmental Permits) required (A) for the execution and delivery by each Obligor of each of the Loan Documents and the Material Project Agreements to which it is a party or (B) for the development, construction, ownership or operation of the Project or any portion thereof, have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except for those Governmental Authorizations (x) not required to have been obtained or issued as of the date this representation is made or is deemed to be made hereunder are reasonably expected to be obtained in the normal course of the construction of the Project after the date this representation is made or is deemed to be made hereunder and for which no fact or circumstance exists, to the Principal Borrower’s Knowledge, which makes it likely that such Governmental Authorizations shall not be timely issued or obtained without unnecessary delay or cost or (y) which the failure to so obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially delay Project Completion.

 

(ii)                                  The material Required Permits required for the development and construction of the Project as of the Closing Date are as set out in Schedule L.

 

(g)                                  Organization and Location.  Schedule I (as at the date hereof and as it may be required to be updated from time to time by the Principal Borrower in accordance with this Agreement) lists the names, jurisdictions of incorporation, continuance, amalgamation or formation of and the details of ownership of the outstanding Equity Securities and Equity Securities Equivalents of each Obligor and their respective Subsidiaries, in each case existing on the Closing Date.

(h)                                 Ownership of Assets.  Each Obligor:

 

(i)                                     has good and marketable title to all of the material Property that it owns, subject only to Permitted Liens and defects in title which in the aggregate

 

108



 

do not materially detract from the value of such Property or any significant part thereof or materially impair the use of any thereof in the operation of the businesses of the Obligors, taken as a whole and, to the Knowledge of the Principal Borrower, no Person has any agreement or right to acquire any of any Obligor’s respective interest in any material Property necessary for the conduct of the Closing Date Business or for the Project; and

(j)                                    Intellectual Property.  Each of the Obligors owns or has the right to use all Intellectual Property that is used in or otherwise necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted (and as contemplated to be conducted under the Material Project Agreements), except where the failure of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Principal Borrower, the operation of their respective businesses by each of the Obligors does not infringe upon, misappropriate, violate or otherwise conflict with the Intellectual Property of any third party, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(k)                                 No Default.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

If the Borrowers do not pay all Outstandings owing by them forthwith after receipt of a notice under Section 12.2, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and in accordance with Section 15.9 may, in its discretion, exercise any right or recourse and/or proceed by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding against the Borrowers authorized or permitted by Applicable Law (and the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement) for the recovery of all the Outstandings of the Borrowers owing to the Lenders hereunder and proceed to exercise any and all rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and no such remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination.

 

12.3                        Suspension of Lenders’ Outstandings

 

The occurrence of a Default or Event of Default that is continuing shall relieve the Lenders of all obligations to provide any further Drawdowns to any Borrower hereunder (subject to Section 3.5); provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Lenders or the Agent from disbursing money or effecting any Conversion which, by the terms hereof, they are entitled to effect, or any Conversion or Rollover requested by the Borrower and acceptable to the Lenders and the Agent, acting reasonably.

 

142



 

12.4                        Cash Collateral Accounts

 

(a)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may require any Borrower to forthwith pay funds in an amount sufficient to pay the maximum aggregate amount for which such Lenders are or may become liable in respect of all outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances into a Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 7.4(b).

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may require the Principal Borrower to forthwith pay funds in an amount sufficient to pay the maximum aggregate amount for which such Lenders are or may become liable in respect of all outstanding Letters of Credit into a Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 7.4(c).

 

12.5                        Right of Set Off

 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the obligations of the Obligors now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each of the Lenders under this Section 12.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Lenders may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Principal Borrower and the Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

12.6                        Sharing of Payments by Lenders

 

If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall:

 

(a)                                 notify the Agent of such fact; and

 

(b)                                 purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing to them, provided that:

 

143



 

(i)                                     if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;

 

(ii)                                  the provisions of this Section 12.6  shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and

 

(iii)                               the provisions of this Section 12.6 shall not be construed to apply to (A) Cash Collateral provided, payment received, or the exercise of rights of counterclaim, set-off or banker’s lien or similar rights, in respect of any Cash Management Services provided by, or Cash Management Obligations owing to, any Cash Manager, (B) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (C) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Lien or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower’s obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents, (D) any reduction arising from an amount owing to an Obligor upon the termination of any Lender Hedge Agreement, or (E) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.

 

The Obligors consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of such participation.

 

12.7                        Remedies Cumulative and Waivers

 

For greater certainty, it is expressly understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law or by equity; and any single or partial exercise by the Lenders or by the Agent of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or other Loan Document shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which any one or more of the Lenders and the Agent may be lawfully entitled for such default or breach. Any waiver by, as applicable, the Required Lenders, the Lenders or the Agent of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or other matter contained herein and any indulgence granted, either expressly or by course of conduct, by, as applicable, the Required Lenders, the Lenders or

 

144



 

the Agent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given and shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of any other default or breach hereunder or thereunder.

 

ARTICLE 13
YIELD PROTECTION / TAXES / REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS

 

13.1                        Increased Costs

 

(a)                                 Increased Costs Generally.  If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)                                     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

 

(ii)                                  subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 13.2 and except for the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or

 

(iii)                               impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of the Required Lenders, the Principal Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)                                 Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then the Principal Borrower, will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

145



 

(c)                                  Certificates for Reimbursement.  Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to additional compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(b), such Lender shall, within 90 days, so notify the Principal Borrower and the Agent, provided that, if the Principal Borrower is not provided with such notice within such period, then such Lender shall not be entitled to claim additional compensation for any period prior to the date of delivery of such notice. The Lender shall provide to the Borrowers and the Agent a photocopy of the relevant law or official directive (or, if it is impracticable to provide a photocopy, a written summary of the same). A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(b), including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Banking Days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)                                 Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 13.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

(e)                                  Consistent Treatment. A Lender shall only be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 13.1 if and to the extent that is claiming similar compensation from other comparable borrowers under comparable credit facilities.

 

13.2                        Taxes

 

(a)                                 Payments Subject to Taxes.  If any Obligor, the Agent, or any Lender is required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then:

 

(i)                                     the sum payable shall be increased by that Obligor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.2) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required;

 

146



 

(ii)                                  the Borrowers shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Applicable Law; and

 

(iii)                               the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification.

 

(i)                                     The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within 10 Banking Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority (subject to the following sentence and Section 13.2(f)) with a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event a Borrower has made a payment to the Agent or a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (c) and the Agent or Lender is thereafter granted or receives a credit, refund or remission in respect of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall, subject to the applicable Borrower having paid the relevant amount payable under this paragraph (c) and to the extent it is satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, refund or remission, refund to the applicable Borrower such amount (if any) as the Agent or Lender determines in good faith will leave the Agent or Lender in no worse position than would have been the case if there had been no obligation to pay the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in the first place. The Agent or Lender shall not be obligated to provide to the Borrowers copies of all or any part of its tax returns, financial statements or other corporate financial data by reason of any such matter.

 

(ii)                                  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 Banking Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and without

 

147



 

limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the Agent’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 16.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph.

 

(d)                                 Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by an Obligor to a Governmental Authority, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

 

(e)                                  Status of Lenders.  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, at the request of a Borrower or the Agent, deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent, no later than 30 days after the later of the date of the request and the date such Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) under this Agreement, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition:

 

(i)                                     any Lender, if requested by a Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the applicable Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements; and

 

(ii)                                  any Lender that becomes subject to Canadian withholding tax with respect to any Outstandings other than by reason of a Change in Law, shall within 5 days thereof notify the Borrowers and the Agent in writing.

 

(f)                                   Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions.  Without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to Section 13.2(c), if the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a credit, refund or remission of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the

 

148



 

Borrowers or with respect to which another Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower or other Obligor, as applicable, an amount equal to such credit, refund or remission (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Borrower or other Obligor under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund, credit or remission), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest. The Principal Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor, as applicable, to, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, repay the amount paid over to the applicable Borrower or other Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender if the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

 

(g)                                  Survival.  The provisions of Section 13.2(c) shall survive the repayment of the Outstandings and the cancellation of the Credit Facilities.

 

13.3                        Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders

 

(a)                                 Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 13.1, or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13.2, then, with the consent of the Borrowers, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.2 , as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)                                 Replacement of Lenders.  If: (I) any Lender requests compensation under Section 13.1; (II) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13.2; (III) any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 13.4; (IV) any Lender exercises its rights under Section 13.5 or 13.6 or 13.7 but not all Lenders are so affected; any Lender does not provide its consent to a request by a Borrower for a waiver of a condition precedent as provided in Section 3.4; (V) any Lender does not provide its consent, waiver or agreement to a request by a Borrower for a consent, waiver or amendment that requires the consent of all of the Lenders, all Required Lenders or all affected Lenders as

 

149



 

provided for in Section 16.10(a) or 16.10(b), as applicable; or (VI) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender; then, in addition to and not in limitation of or derogation from the other provisions hereof, the Borrowers shall have the right, at their option:

 

(i)                                     at their sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ written notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 16.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

 

(A)                               the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) (or such lower amount as the Assigning Lender may agree in its sole discretion);

 

(B)                               in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 13.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 

(C)                               in the case of any assignment in the circumstances set out in subparagraph (V) of this Section 13.3(b), such waiver or amendment is approved by (A) all other Lenders, in the case of a consent or agreement requiring all Lenders, (B) at least the Required Lenders, in the case of a consent or agreement requiring the Required Lenders, or (C) all other affected Lenders, in the case of a consent or agreement requiring all affected Lenders, and in each case the assignee consents to such waiver or amendment; and

 

(D)                               such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; or

 

(ii)                                  at any time after the Project Completion Date, elect to terminate such Lender’s Commitments, in which case the Total Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Lender’s Commitment so cancelled (provided that prior to or concurrently with such cancellation such Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts through such date of cancellation and a release

 

150



 

from any further obligations to make Advances under the Loan Documents after such termination).

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Solely for purposes of effecting any assignment involving a Defaulting Lender under this Section 13.3 and to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Agent as true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, for and on behalf of and in the name of such Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver the assignment required hereunder if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and such Lender shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if such Lender had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same.

 

The Borrowers may exercise any combination of their rights to replace or repay Lenders under this Section 13.3; provided that in each case each Lender being replaced or repaid is treated rateably with each of the other Lenders being replaced or repaid.

 

13.4                        Illegality

 

If any Lender determines in good faith that the adoption of any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Loan (or to maintain its obligation to make any Loan), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice (with a copy to the Agent), the applicable Borrower shall, within the time required by such Applicable Law (or on demand if no such time period is prescribed by Applicable Law or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion may agree), prepay without penalty or premium or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Loans in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  If any such change shall only affect a portion of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

 

151



 

13.5                        Market Disruption Respecting Bankers’ Acceptances

 

If:

 

(a)                                 the Agent (acting reasonably) makes a determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Principal Borrower, and notifies the Principal Borrower, that there no longer exists an active market for bankers’ acceptances accepted by the Lenders; or

 

(b)                                 the Principal Borrower is not marketing Bankers’ Acceptances on its own and the Agent is advised by Lenders holding at least 35% of the Commitments by written notice (each, a “BA Suspension Notice”) that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the BA Discount Rate will not or does not accurately reflect the cost of funds of such Lenders or the discount rate which would be applicable to a sale of Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by such Lenders in the market for the applicable term;

 

then:

 

(c)                                  the right of the Principal Borrower to request Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances from any Lender shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and so notifies the Principal Borrower and the Lenders;

 

(d)                                 any outstanding Drawdown Notice requesting a Loan by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances under a Credit Facility shall be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice requesting a Prime Loan under the same Credit Facility in the amount specified in the original Drawdown Notice;

 

(e)                                  any outstanding Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice requesting a Conversion of a Loan by way of Prime Loan, USBR Loan or LIBO Rate Loan under a Credit Facility into a Loan by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances shall be deemed to be a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice requesting a Conversion of such Loan into a Prime Loan under the same Credit Facility; and

 

(f)                                   any outstanding Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice requesting a Rollover of a Loan by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances under a Credit Facility, shall be deemed to be a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice requesting a Conversion of such Loan into a Prime Loan under the same Credit Facility.

 

The Agent shall promptly notify the Principal Borrower and the Lenders of any suspension of the Principal Borrower’s right to request Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances and of any termination of any such suspension. A BA Suspension Notice shall be effective upon receipt of the same by the Agent if received prior to 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on a Banking Day and if not, then on the next following Banking Day, except in connection with a Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice previously received by the Agent, in which case the applicable BA Suspension Notice shall only be effective with respect to such

 

152



 

previously received Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice if received by the Agent prior to 12:00 noon (Toronto time) 2 Banking Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date (as applicable) applicable to such previously received Drawdown Notice or  Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, as applicable.

 

13.6                        Market Disruption Respecting LIBO Rate Loans

 

If, at any time subsequent to the giving of a Drawdown Notice or a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice to the Agent by the Principal Borrower with regard to any requested LIBO Rate Loan:

 

(a)                                 the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest with respect to, or deposits are not available in sufficient amounts in the ordinary course of business at the rate determined hereunder to fund, a requested LIBO Rate Loan during the ensuing Interest Period selected;

 

(b)                                 the Agent (acting reasonably) determines  that the making or continuing of the requested LIBO Rate Loan by the Lenders has been made impracticable by the occurrence of an event which materially adversely affects the London interbank market generally; or

 

(c)                                  the Agent is advised by Lenders holding at least 35% of the Total Commitment by written notice (each, a “LIBO Suspension Notice”), such notice to be received by the Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the third Banking Day prior to the date of the requested Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, as the case may be, that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the LIBO Rate will not or does not adequately reflect the effective cost of funds to such Lenders of United States Dollar deposits in such market for the relevant Interest Period,

 

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Principal Borrower as soon as possible after such determination or receipt of such LIBO Suspension Notice, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall, within one Banking Day after receipt of such notice and in replacement of the Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, as the case may be, previously given by the Principal Borrower, give the Agent a Drawdown Notice or a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, as the case may be, which specifies the Drawdown of any other Loan or the Conversion of the relevant LIBO Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into any other Loan which would not be affected by the notice from the Agent pursuant to this Section 13.6.

 

In the event the Principal Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice with respect to the maturing LIBO Rate Loans which were the subject of a Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, such maturing LIBO Rate Loans shall be converted on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into USBR Loans as if a valid replacement Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice had been given to the Agent by the Principal Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof. In the event the Borrower fails to give, if

 

153



 

applicable, a valid replacement Drawdown Notice with respect to a Drawdown originally requested by way of a LIBO Rate Loan, then the Principal Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Drawdown by way of a USBR Loan in the amount specified in the original Drawdown Notice and, on the originally requested Drawdown Date, the Lenders (subject to the other provisions hereof) shall make available the requested amount by way of a USBR Loan.

 

13.7                        Takeovers

 

(a)                                 Takeover Procedure. If the Principal Borrower wishes to utilize, whether directly or indirectly, Drawdowns under the Working Capital Facility to facilitate, assist or participate in a Takeover by any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof:

 

(i)                                     at least 10 Banking Days prior to the delivery to the Agent of a Drawdown Notice made in connection with a Takeover, an Authorized Officer of the Principal Borrower will notify the Agent in writing (who will then notify the Applicable Lenders) of the particulars of the Takeover in sufficient detail to enable each Applicable Lender to determine, in each Applicable Lender’s sole discretion, whether it will permit a Drawdown to be utilized for such Takeover;

 

(ii)                                  if a Lender decides not to fund an Advance to be utilized for such Takeover, then upon such Lender so notifying the Agent in writing (who will then notify the Principal Borrower), such Lender will have no obligation to fund such Advance notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; and

 

(iii)                               each Applicable Lender will use reasonable commercial efforts to notify the Agent in writing as soon as practicable (and in any event within 5 Banking Days of receipt of the particulars thereof from the Agent) of its decision whether or not to fund a proposed Takeover and if no such notice is delivered to the Agent in such period, such Applicable Lender will be deemed to have elected not to fund,

 

and in the event that any Lender has such a conflict of interest and has elected not to participate in the requested Advance, then upon the Agent so notifying the Principal Borrower, such Lender will have no obligation to provide Advances for such Takeover notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; provided, however, that each Lender, which has, or is deemed to have, no such conflict of interest will have an obligation, up to the amount of its Working Capital Facility Commitment, to provide Advances for such Takeover, and any such Advance for such Takeover will be provided by each Takeover Lender in accordance with the ratio that its Working Capital Facility Commitment bears to the aggregate of the Working Capital Facility Commitments of all Lenders participating in such Advance.

 

(b)                                 Takeover Loans. If an Advance under the Working Capital Facility is utilized for the purposes of a Takeover and there are Lenders that have not funded such

 

154



 

Advance in accordance with Section 13.7(a), then following the making of any such Advance and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all subsequent Advances under the Working Capital Facility shall be made entirely by the Lenders not funding such Advance until such time as each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Principal under the Working Capital Facility is equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Total Working Capital Facility Commitment.

160



 

15.7                        Replacement of Agent

 

(a)                                 The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Principal Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Principal Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender having a Commitment and having an office in Toronto, Ontario or Calgary, Alberta, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto, Ontario or Calgary, Alberta. The Agent may also be removed at any time by the Required Lenders upon 45 days’ notice to the Agent and the Principal Borrower as long as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Principal Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within such 45 days, which, in the case of the Agent, shall be a Lender having an office in Toronto, Ontario or Calgary, Alberta, or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto, Ontario or Calgary, Alberta.

 

(b)                                 If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, and with the consent of the Principal Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications specified in Section 15.7(a), provided that if the Agent shall notify the Principal Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.

 

(c)                                  Upon a successor’s appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Agent, and the former Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Agent, the provisions of this Section 15.7 and of Section 14.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Agent, its sub-Agent and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while such former Agent was acting as the Agent.

 

161



 

15.8                        Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders

 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

15.9                        Collective Action of the Lenders

 

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the remedies and any collateral security provided under the Loan Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent upon the decision of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lender Secured Parties as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Credit Facilities including any declaration of Default or Event of Default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

 

15.10                 Lender Decisions

 

The Lenders agree that all decisions as to actions to be or not to be taken, as to consents or waivers to be given or not to be given, as to determinations to be made and otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents, shall be made upon the decision of the Required Lenders except in respect of a decision or determination where it is specifically provided in this Agreement that “all of the Lenders”, “all Lenders”, “each of the Lenders” or words to similar effect, or the Agent alone, is to be responsible for same. Each of the Lenders shall be bound by and agrees to abide by and adopt all decisions made as aforesaid and covenants in all communications with the Borrowers to act in concert and to join in the action, consent, waiver, determination or other matter decided as aforesaid.

 

162



 

15.11                 Procedure for Funding Loans

 

The Agent shall make Loans available to the Borrowers as required hereunder by debiting the Agent’s Account to which the Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Loans have been credited in accordance with Section 2.10(b) (or causing such account to be debited) and, in the absence of other arrangements agreed to by the Agent and the applicable Borrower in writing, by crediting the account of the applicable Borrower or, at the expense of the applicable Borrower, transferring (or causing to be transferred) like funds in accordance with the instructions of the applicable Borrower as set forth in the Drawdown Notice or Conversion/Rollover/Repayment Notice, as the case may be, in respect of each Loan; provided that the obligation of the Agent hereunder to effect such a transfer shall be limited to taking such steps as are commercially reasonable to implement such instructions, which steps once taken shall constitute conclusive and binding evidence that such funds were advanced hereunder in accordance with the provisions relating thereto and the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, claims or costs which may be suffered by the applicable Borrower and occasioned by the failure of such Loan to reach the designated destination.

 

15.12                 Remittance of Payments

 

Except for amounts payable to the Agent for its own account, forthwith after receipt of any repayment pursuant hereto or payment of interest or fees pursuant to Article 4 or payment pursuant to Article 7, the Agent shall remit to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment.

 

15.13                 Agent’s Clawback

 

(a)                                 Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent.  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Agent, then such Lender shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Advance. If such Lender does not do so forthwith, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the Advance in question. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Agent.

 

163



 

(b)                                 Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent.  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.

 

15.14                 Adjustments Among Lenders

 

(a)                                 Adjustments to Outstandings.  Each Lender under a Credit Facility agrees that, after delivery of a notice of acceleration pursuant to Section 12.2 or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(f) or 12.1(g), it will at any time and from time to time upon the request of the Agent as required by any Lender under such Credit Facility purchase portions of the Outstanding Principal owed to the other Lenders under such Credit Facility and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, so that the amount of Outstanding Principal owed to each Lender under such Credit Facility, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 15.14(a), will be equal to its Applicable Percentage of all Outstanding Principal under such Credit Facility. For the purposes of this Section 15.14(a), any undrawn Commitments shall be deemed to have been cancelled upon delivery of such notice of acceleration or the occurrence of such specified Event of Default.

 

(b)                                 Application of Payments.  The Agent and the Lenders agree that, after delivery of a notice of acceleration pursuant to Section 12.2 or the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(f) or 12.1(g), the amount of any repayment made by a Borrower under this Agreement, and the amount of any proceeds from the exercise of any rights or remedies of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, which are to be applied against amounts owing hereunder, shall be so applied in a manner so that, to the extent possible, the amount of the Outstanding Principal owed to each Lender after giving effect to such application and any adjustments made pursuant to Section 15.14(a) shall be equal to its Applicable Percentage of all Outstanding Principal owed to all Lenders.

 

(c)                                  Further Assurances.  Each Borrower agrees to be bound by and, at the request of the Agent, to do all things necessary or appropriate to give effect to any and all purchases and other adjustments made by and between the Lenders pursuant to this Section 15.14, but shall incur no increased liabilities, in aggregate, by reason thereof.

 

164



 

15.15                 Agent and Defaulting Lenders

 

(a)                                 To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Defaulting Lender shall be required to provide to the Agent cash in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent or any Fronting Lender, as the case may be, in its discretion, equal to all obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or such Fronting Lender, as the case may be, that are owing or may become owing pursuant to this Agreement, including such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay, on a pro rata basis, any indemnification or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by a Borrower. Such cash shall be held by the Agent in one or more Cash Collateral Accounts, which accounts shall be in the name of the Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Agent shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash in accordance with Section 15.5.

 

(b)                                 In addition to the indemnity and reimbursement obligations in Section 15.5, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower) on a pro rata basis (and, in calculating the pro rata basis, the Commitments of any Defaulting Lenders shall be excluded) any amount that a Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Agent and which is due and owing to the Agent pursuant to Section 15.5. Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender and which would otherwise be payable by the Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)                                  The Agent shall be entitled to set-off and/or withhold from any Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of all payments received from the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender’s obligations to make payments and fund Loans required to be made by it and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it in each case under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing Cash Collateral Accounts in the name of the Agent amounts (whether principal, interest, fees or otherwise) received by the Agent and due to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, which amounts shall be used by the Agent:

 

(i)                                     first, to reimburse the Agent for any amounts owing to it, in its capacity as Agent, by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to any Loan Document;

 

(ii)                                  second, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Fronting Lenders hereunder;

 

(iii)                               third, to the reimbursement, on a pro rata basis, of any indemnity amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 15.15(b);

(a)                                 Assigns Generally. Except as permitted hereunder, no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.2(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.2(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 16.2(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Indemnitees, Participants to the extent provided in Section 16.2(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(i)                                     except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the Equivalent

 

168



 

Amount in Canadian Dollars of the Outstanding Principal of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than Cdn.$10,000,000 (and in each case increments of Cdn.$10,000,000 in excess thereof) (or, if less, all of such Lender’s remaining Loans and applicable Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility) and the minimum amount of any Commitment retained, if any, by the assigning Lender shall be not less than Cdn.$10,000,000 unless each of the Agent (and in the case of the assignment of any part of the Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Fronting Lenders) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Principal Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

 

(ii)                                  each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Outstanding Principal or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate credits on a non-pro rata basis; provided that an assignment by any Lender of an interest in either the Construction Facility or the Contingent Facility, as the case may be, must assign a corresponding and proportionate interest in either the Construction Facility or Contingent Facility, as applicable. to the extent it has an interest in such other Credit Facility, to the same assignee;

 

(iii)                               any assignment must be approved by the Agent and (in the case of an assignment by a Lender of Working Capital Facility Loans or Working Capital Facility Commitment) each Fronting Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:

 

(A)                               the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) acting through a branch in Canada, or

 

(B)                               the proposed assignee is an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, and such Lender has agreed not to be released from its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(iv)                              any assignment must be approved by the Principal Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless:

 

(A)                               the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) acting through a branch in Canada,

 

169



 

(B)                               the proposed assignee is an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, and such Lender has agreed not to be released from its obligations under this Agreement and such assignment will not increase the amounts payable by the Borrowers in connection with any withholding Taxes, or

 

(C)                               an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

 

(v)                                 the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500.00 (unless waived by the Agent) and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any collateral security, and, unless the assigning Lender has agreed otherwise, the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article 13 and Section 14.1, and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such Lender, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 16.2(d). Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by a Borrower or a new Loan to a Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Register.  The Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario or Calgary, Alberta a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (each, a “Register”). The entries in each Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Each Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

170



 

(d)                                 Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, an Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Outstanding Principal owing to it); provided that:

 

(i)                                     such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;

 

(ii)                                  such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

 

(iii)                               the Borrowers, the Agent 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

 

(iv)                              such Person is not a Disqualified Lender.

 

Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by a Borrower or a new Loan to a Borrower.

 

Subject to Section 16.2(e), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 16.2(b); provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any amount which the transferor Lender would not have been entitled to receive in such circumstances nor any greater amount pursuant to either such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of such amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred.

 

(e)                                  Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 13.1 and 13.2 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Principal Borrower’s prior written consent. The agreement or consent of a Participant shall not be required for any amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents.

 

(f)                                   Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to any Governmental Authority, but no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

171

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal action, proceeding or counterclaim directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

(viii)                        any alteration of the amount, currency, or mode of calculation of any principal, interest or other amounts owing hereunder; or

 

(ix)                              this Section 16.10,

 

shall require the agreement or waiver of all of the Lenders and also (in the case of an amendment) of the other parties hereto;

Any such waiver and any consent by the Agent, any Lender, the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all of the Lenders (as applicable) under any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and may be given subject to any conditions deemed appropriate by the Person giving that waiver or consent. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

 

The Lenders hereby confirm that, upon an amendment, waiver, consent or other agreement made by the applicable Lenders pursuant to this Agreement which requires action to be taken by the Collateral Agent to give effect to the same, the Agent shall provide such directions and take such other actions as may be required under, pursuant to and in accordance with the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement to direct the Collateral Agent to give effect to the same.

 

16.11                 Defaulting Lenders

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

 

(i)                                     the standby fees payable pursuant to Section 4.6 shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

 

176



 

(ii)                                  a Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, and the Commitment and proportion of Outstanding Principal under any or all of the Credit Facilities of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 16.10), provided that any waiver or amendment requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (A) materially and adversely affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders, (B) increases the Commitment or extends the Maturity Date of such Defaulting Lender, or (C) relates to the matters set forth in Sections 16.10(a), 16.10(b)(iii) and 16.10(b)(ix) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

 

(iii)                               for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers shall retain and reserve their other rights and remedies respecting each Defaulting Lender.

 

(b)                                 If any Lender fails to fund its Applicable Percentage of an Advance hereunder, then each other Lender shall fund a portion of such Lender’s unfunded Applicable Percentage of such Advance in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage (and, in calculating a Lender’s Applicable Percentage, the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded) of such unfunded portion of such Advance; provided that, for certainty, no Lender shall be obligated by this Section 16.11 to make or provide an Advance which would result in the Outstanding Principal owing to it being in excess of its Commitment after taking into account any re-allocations pursuant to Section 16.11(d).

 

(c)                                  If the re-allocation described in subparagraph (b) above cannot be effected, or can only partially be effected, then (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) such Defaulting Lender shall, within 1 Banking Day following notice by the Agent, provide Cash Collateral to the Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Advance (after giving effect to any partial re-allocation pursuant to subparagraph (b) above) for so long as such Advance is outstanding.

 

(d)                                 If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of the Outstanding Principal of such Letters of Credit is the “Defaulting Lender Exposure”), then:

 

(i)                                     to the extent the Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral for its Defaulting Lender Exposure pursuant to Section 16.11(c) above, such Defaulting Lender Exposure shall be re-allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Working Capital Facility for the purposes of Section 6.1 in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages thereunder (and, in calculating a Lender’s Applicable Percentage, the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded); but, for each non-Defaulting Lender, such re-allocation may only be effected if and to the extent that the sum of (A) any non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable

 

177



 

Percentage of all outstanding Advances under the Working Capital Facility, plus (B) such non-Defaulting Lender’s rateable share (after giving effect to the reallocation contemplated herein) of the Defaulting Lender’s Exposure, does not exceed such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under the Working Capital Facility;

 

(ii)                                  if the re-allocation described in clause (i) above cannot be effected, or can only partially be effected, then the Borrower shall within one Banking Day following notice by a Fronting Lender prepay outstanding Letters of Credit (by the provision of Cash Collateral to the Agent) to the extent necessary to allow a full reallocation of the Defaulting Lender Exposure as aforesaid; and

 

(iii)                               if the Applicable Percentages of the non-Defaulting Lenders are re-allocated pursuant to this Section 16.11(d), then the LC Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.5 shall be adjusted to give effect to such re-allocations in accordance with each such non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentages and if the applicable Borrower provides Cash Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay the LC Fees or fronting fees attributable to the Cash Collateralized exposure of such Letters of Credit.

 

Subject to Section 16.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

(e)                                  If any Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then, upon becoming aware of the same, the Agent shall notify the other Lenders and (in accordance with the written direction of the Agent) such Lender (which has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) shall purchase, and the other Lenders shall on a pro rata basis sell and assign to such Lender, portions of such Loans equal in total to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage share thereof without regard to subsection (b) of this Section 16.11.

 

(f)                                   Each Defaulting Lender hereby indemnifies the Principal Borrower for any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by the Principal Borrower as a result of such Defaulting Lender failing to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including any failure to fund its portion of any Loans required to be made by it hereunder.

 

16.12                 Further Assurances

 

Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, the Lenders and the Agent shall promptly cure any default by it or defect in the execution and delivery of this Agreement,

 

178



 

the other Loan Documents or any of the agreements provided for hereunder to which it is a party. The Borrowers at their expense shall, as promptly practicable, execute and deliver to the Agent, upon request by the Agent (acting reasonably), all such other and further deeds, agreements, opinions, certificates, instruments, affidavits, registration materials and other documents reasonably necessary for its compliance with, or accomplishment of its respective covenants and agreements hereunder or more fully to state its respective obligations as set out herein or to make any registration or recording, or to file any notice or to obtain any consent, all as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, in the judgment of the Agent, acting reasonably.

 

16.13                 Time of the Essence

 

Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

 

16.14                 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

 

(a)                                 Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. 107-56 (a/k/a the USA Patriot Act) or any other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Applicable Laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each such Person and such other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each such Person in accordance with AML Legislation (including, information regarding such Person’s directors, authorized signing officers, or other Persons in control of each such Person). Each Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with AML Legislation. Each Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, to the extent commercially reasonable, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), or any prospective assignee of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

 

(b)                                 If, upon the written request of any Lender, the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) has ascertained the identity of an Obligor or any authorized signatories of such Person for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation on such Lender’s behalf, then the Agent:

 

(i)                                     shall be deemed to have done so as the Agent for such Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between

 

179



 

such Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

 

(ii)                                  shall provide to such Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.14, each of the Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of an Obligor or any authorized signatories of such Person, on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any such Person or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

 

16.15                 Platform

 

(a)                                 Each Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debtdomain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

 

(b)                                 The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender or any other person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the applicable Borrower’s, any Subsidiary’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the applicable Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof provides to the Agent pursuant to any Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 16.15, including through the Platform.

 

16.16                 No Fiduciary Duty

 

(a)                                 The Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 16.16, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors and/or their respective Affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and

 

180



 

their Affiliates, on the other hand. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (A) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of any Borrower, their Subsidiaries or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise a Borrower or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (B) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of a Borrower, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to it, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.

 

(b)                                 Each Borrower acknowledges that (i) each Lender may be involved in a broad range of activities (including providing debt financing, equity capital, financial advisory or other services to other Persons) in respect of which the Obligors and/or their respective Affiliates may have conflicting interests regarding the Credit Facilities or otherwise and (ii) no Lender has any obligation to (A) disclose such other activities to the Borrowers or (B) use in connection with the Credit Facilities, or furnish to the Borrower confidential information obtained by such Lender from such other Persons.

 

16.17                 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 

(a)                                 the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

 

(b)                                 the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

 

(i)                                     a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 

181



 

(ii)                                  a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

 

(iii)                               the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

16.18                 Credit Agreement Governs

 

For certainty, subject to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement which relate to the respective rights and obligations of the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand in respect of the Credit Facilities and the security constituted by the Security Documents to be provided therefor, to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency, shall govern and prevail.

 

16.19                 Whole Agreement

 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the whole and entire agreement between the parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancel and supersede any prior agreements (including any commitment letters), undertakings, understandings, declarations, commitments, representations, written or oral, in respect thereof.

(ii)                                  prior to terminating either of the Assigned Agreements, the Shipper shall give the Collateral Agent or its nominee the opportunity to cure or mitigate such Carrier Default as provided for in Section 4.2.

G-8



 

Agent’s Cure Period shall not begin or otherwise be deemed to have started unless and until the Shipper has delivered to the Collateral Agent a Default Notice in accordance with Sections 4.1(a) and 6.1; in addition, unless and until the Shipper has delivered to the Collateral Agent a Default Notice as aforesaid, any notice of Carrier Default provided to the Carrier by the Shipper shall not constitute effective notice to the Carrier of the Carrier Default specified therein.

 

(c)                                  Extension of Collateral Agent’s Cure Period during Stay of Proceedings. If the Collateral Agent or its nominee is prohibited or suspended by any stay or other process or injunction issued by any court or other authority having jurisdiction in respect of any Insolvency Proceedings involving the Carrier from curing or attempting to cure a Carrier Default or from otherwise exercising any of their rights or remedies under the Security, then the Collateral Agent’s Cure Period shall be extended for the period of such prohibition or suspension, provided that the Collateral Agent or such nominee, as applicable, is diligently and in good faith pursuing such rights or remedies (to the extent permitted) in such Insolvency Proceedings or otherwise.

 

(d)                                 Defaults Deemed Cured. After a Carrier Default has been cured in all material respects by the Carrier, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent’s nominee or otherwise, there shall no longer be deemed to be any default under the Assigned Agreements or event giving rise to such Carrier Default.

 

(e)                                  No Assumption of Liability. No curing or mitigation or attempt to cure or mitigate any Carrier Default or exercise of any rights or remedies by the Collateral Agent or its nominee shall be construed as (i) an assumption by the Collateral Agent or its nominee of any covenants, agreements or obligations of the Carrier under or in respect of the Assigned Agreements, or (ii) constituting the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a mortgagee in possession.

If (i) an Assigned Agreement shall be terminated in or as a consequence of any Insolvency Proceedings or (ii) a Carrier Default which is incurable has occurred (and any Carrier Default which arises because the Carrier has become the subject of Insolvency Proceedings shall be deemed to be incurable) and the Shipper has provided notice to the Collateral Agent of its intent to terminate an Assigned Agreement, then the Collateral Agent may, within ** days of such notice, by written notice to the Shipper require the Shipper to enter into a replacement agreement with a Permitted Transferee in form and substance the same as the Assigned Agreement being replaced but accepting and accounting for all performance by the Shipper and the Carrier as of the date of such replacement agreement (each a “Replacement Assigned Agreement”), provided that each other curable Carrier Default outstanding in respect of the applicable Assigned Agreement as of the date of such Replacement Assigned Agreement has been cured and the applicable provisions of Section 4.5 are complied with. If (a) such Insolvency Proceedings prevent the entering into of the Replacement Assigned Agreement within such ** day period and (b) the Collateral Agent or its nominee shall, within such ** day period, initiate action to permit the entering into of such Replacement Assigned Agreement and diligently attempt to complete the permitting thereof, then

 

Pursuant to 17 CFR 240.24b-2, confidential information has been omitted in places marked “**” and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Application filed with the Commission.

 

G-9

4.4                               Rights Upon Actionable Default

 

(a)                                 Direction to Pay. If the Shipper has been notified in writing by the Collateral Agent that an Actionable Default has occurred and is continuing, then until such Actionable Default has been cured or waived by the Collateral Agent the Shipper shall make all such payments during such period to such other person and/or at such other address or account as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify in writing to the Shipper, and all such payments made by the Shipper shall be accompanied by a statement stating that the payment is being made under the Assigned Agreements. The Carrier hereby instructs the Shipper, and the Shipper accepts such instructions, to make all payments due and payable to the Carrier under the Assigned Agreements as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Carrier hereby releases the Shipper from any and all liability to the Carrier for making such payments.

 

(b)                                 Step-in Notice.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, or its nominee shall have the full right and power to enforce directly against the Shipper (subject to the Shipper’s rights, remedies and defenses under the Assigned Agreements and to the terms hereof) all obligations of the Shipper under the Assigned Agreements and otherwise to exercise any and all rights and remedies thereunder and to make all demands and give all notices and make all requests required or permitted to be made by the Carrier under the Assigned Agreements, provided that no such actions shall be construed as an assumption by the Collateral Agent or its nominee of any of the Carrier obligations under the Assigned Agreements. The Carrier acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing and further acknowledges and agrees that, following the receipt by the Shipper of a notice described in this Section 4.4(b) from the Collateral Agent, the Shipper shall not incur liability to the Carrier in connection with actions contemplated in this Section 4.4(b).  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any exercise of any material performance obligations of the Carrier under the Assigned Agreements may only be performed by a nominee which has the qualifications set forth in part (b) of the definition of Permitted Transferee.

 

(c)                                  No Assignment. Upon receipt by the Shipper of a written notice of an Actionable Default pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Shipper shall not accept any notice of any Transfer in respect of an Assigned Agreement from any person other than the

THIS GUARANTEE is made as of June 16, 2017 by each Person identified on the signature pages hereto, and each other Person that hereafter becomes a Party to this Guarantee by executing and delivering a Guarantee Supplement in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof (collectively the “Guarantors”, and each a “Guarantor”), in favour of the Agent for and on behalf of itself and for the benefit of the Guarantee Beneficiaries.

ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

 

1.1                               Definitions

 

In this Guarantee, unless something in the subject matter or context is inconsistent therewith:

 

Credit Agreement” means the Credit Agreement made as of June 16, 2017 among Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC, as Principal Borrower, Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, as NEB Reserve Borrower, Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent, and the persons party thereto from time to time in their capacity as lenders, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or restated from time to time.

 

Excluded Swap Obligations” means any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee of a Guarantor pursuant hereto of, or the grant by a Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the guarantee of such Guarantor pursuant hereto or the grant of such security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation; provided that, if

 

H-1-1



 

a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal.

 

Guarantee Beneficiaries” means, with respect to any Obligor, the Agent, the Lenders, the Swap Lenders, the Cash Managers, and any other Lender Secured Party.

 

Guaranteed Obligations” means, collectively at any time and from time to time, all amounts, obligations and liabilities, owing by each Other Obligor to any or all of the Guarantee Beneficiaries, whether direct or indirect (regardless of whether acquired by assignment), absolute or contingent, due or to become due, whether liquidated or not, now existing or hereafter arising and however acquired, and whether or not evidenced by any instrument or for the payment of money, and arising under, in connection with, or otherwise related to this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document and including (a) all Outstandings of or owing by any Other Obligor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, (b) all Lender Swap Obligations (other than Excluded Swap Obligations) of or owing by any Other Obligor to any and all Swap Lenders, (c) all Cash Management Obligations of or owing by any Other Obligor to any and all Cash Managers and (d) all other fees, expenses (including fees, charges, and disbursement of counsel), interest, commissions, charges, costs, disbursements, indemnities, and reimbursement of amounts paid and other sums chargeable to any Other Obligor under any Transaction Document, together with all interest and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to any Obligor (whether or not such interest or expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding), whether the same are from time to time reduced and thereafter increased or entirely extinguished and thereafter incurred again.

 

Other Obligor” means, with respect to any Guarantor, each of the Obligors other than such Guarantor.

 

Other Taxes” means all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guarantee.

 

Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding US$10,000,000 at the time the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable, becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, or constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into a keepwell or guarantee pursuant to Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor (other than the particular Guarantor in question), any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or

Capitalized words and phrases used in this Guarantee and the recitals hereto without express definition herein shall, unless something in the subject matter or context is inconsistent therewith, have the same defined meanings as are ascribed to such words and phrases in the Credit Agreement. For further certainty, if the Credit Agreement ceases to be in force for any reason whatsoever, then for all purposes hereof the aforementioned capitalized words and phrases shall continue to have the same defined meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement as if such agreement remained in force in the form immediately prior to its ceasing to be in force.

 

1.2                               Headings and Guarantee References

 

(a)                               The division of this Guarantee into Articles and Sections, and the insertion of headings is for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Guarantee.

 

(b)                               The terms “this Guarantee”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to this Guarantee and not to any particular Article, Section or other portion hereof, and include any amendments or restatements hereto.

1.3                               Interest Act (Canada)

 

Whenever a rate of interest hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

 

1.4                               Nominal Rates

 

The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Guarantee; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, before and after demand, default and judgment.  The rates of interest specified in this Guarantee are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates and any interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

ARTICLE 2
NO COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS

 

2.1                               Acknowledgement

 

Each Guarantor confirms that its obligations under this Guarantee are not subject to any promise or condition affecting or limiting its liability, and no statement, representation, collateral agreement or promise on the part of the Guarantee Beneficiaries or any officer, employee or agent thereof forms any part of this Guarantee or has induced the making hereof or shall be deemed in any way to affect each Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 3
GUARANTEE

 

3.1                               Guarantee and Indemnity

 

(a)                                 Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guarantee Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment, discharge and full performance of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor covenants that the Guaranteed Obligations will be fully and punctually paid and performed by such Guarantor strictly in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)                                 If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations are not duly paid or performed by the Guarantor in question and are not recoverable under Section 3.1(a) as against such Guarantor for any reason whatsoever, such Guarantor shall indemnify and save harmless the Guarantee Beneficiaries from and against any and all losses, costs and expenses which it may suffer by any of the Guaranteed Obligations being or becoming, as against such Guarantor, for any reason whatsoever in whole or in part:

 

(i)                                   void, voidable, ultra vires, illegal, invalid, ineffective or otherwise unenforceable by the Guaranteed Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms hereof, or

 

(ii)                                released, compromised or discharged by operation of Applicable Law or otherwise,

 

(all of the foregoing collectively, an “Indemnifiable Circumstance”). For greater certainty, these losses, costs and expenses shall include the amount of all Guaranteed Obligations which would have been payable by such Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of this Guarantee but for the existence of an Indemnifiable Circumstance but shall exclude all losses, costs and expenses arising from loss of profits, consequential, punitive or indirect damages howsoever arising.

 

H-1-4



 

3.2                               Continuing Guarantee

 

This Guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee, shall cover any ultimate balance owing to the Guarantee Beneficiaries, and shall be operative and binding notwithstanding that at any time or times the Guaranteed Obligations may equal zero or that any payments from time to time may be made to the Guarantee Beneficiaries or any settlements of account effected or any other thing whatsoever done, suffered or permitted, or any other action short of actual and final payment to the Guarantee Beneficiaries of all Guaranteed Obligations.

 

3.3                               Keepwell

 

To the extent that any Guarantor is a Qualified ECP Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each such Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Other Obligor to honour all of their respective obligations under this Guarantee in respect of any Lender Swap Obligation which is a Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each such Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 3.3 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 3.3, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each such Guarantor under this Section 3.3 shall remain in full force and effect until the irrevocable payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each such Guarantor intends that this Section 3.3 constitute, and this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Obligor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. The obligations of each Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 3.3 are joint and several with each other Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor.

 

3.4                               Other Indemnitors and Guarantors

 

This Guarantee shall be operative and binding regardless of whether or not any proposed indemnitor or guarantor or any other Persons have executed or shall execute any indemnity or guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations or is or are or shall become in any other way responsible to the Guarantee Beneficiaries for or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any other Persons now or hereafter liable to the Guarantee Beneficiaries for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof (whether under this Guarantee or otherwise) shall cease to be so liable.

 

3.5                               Identity of Obligors

 

This Guarantee is to extend to each Obligor notwithstanding any change or changes in the name, business, powers, objects, membership, partners, shareholders or other equity owners, directorate, organization or management of any Obligor, and notwithstanding any reorganization of any Obligor or the merger or amalgamation of any corporate Obligor with another or others, or the sale or disposal of any of any Obligor’s business in whole or in part to another or others, or the surrender, forfeiture or termination of its articles or charter, or the receivership, dissolution, insolvency, winding-up, arrangement, reorganization, bankruptcy or liquidation of or in respect of

 

H-1-5



 

any Obligor, and no such event shall lessen, release or discharge the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee.

 

3.6                               Guarantors to Pay; Interest; Currency

 

(a)                                 Each Guarantor shall, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, on demand by the Guarantee Beneficiaries, forthwith pay to such Guarantee Beneficiaries the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations in default (including any accelerated obligations), and perform any obligations in respect of which any such other Obligor is then in default.

 

(b)                                 If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations are not duly paid or performed by the Guarantor in question and are not recoverable under Section 3.1(a) or the Guarantee Beneficiaries are not indemnified under Section 3.1(b), in each case for any reason whatsoever, and the Guarantee Beneficiaries have made demand upon the Guarantor in question as provided in this Section 3.6, such Guarantor shall thereupon be liable to such Guarantee Beneficiaries for the amount demanded directly, as principal debtor, and not just as surety, and will not plead or assert to the contrary in any proceeding taken by such Guarantee Beneficiaries in enforcing this Guarantee.

 

(c)                                  Each Guarantor shall pay interest on those of the Guaranteed Obligations that are payment obligations for which demand shall have been made in accordance with the terms hereof, computed from and after the date of demand until payment in full, at the rate or rates provided in the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as applicable) in respect of the obligation so demanded, calculated and compounded in the same manner, but without duplication of interest which is payable by each Guarantor where such interest forms part of such Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(d)                                 All Guaranteed Obligations that are payment obligations shall be paid by each Guarantor in whichever currency or currencies in which they are denominated.

 

3.7                               Statement of Obligations

 

Any written agreement or other statement in writing by or between a Guarantee Beneficiary or the Guarantee Beneficiaries, as the case may be, and any Obligor (other than the Guarantor in question) from time to time of the indebtedness, obligations or liability of such Obligor to it or them, as the case may be, shall be binding upon each Guarantor and shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the indebtedness, obligations or liability. All right to question in any way the present or future method of the Guarantee Beneficiaries of dealing with any Obligor or with any Persons now or hereafter liable to the Guarantee Beneficiaries for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, is hereby waived. Each Guarantor renounces all benefits of discussion and division.

 

H-1-6



 

3.8                               Not Bound to Exhaust Recourse

 

The Guarantee Beneficiaries shall not be bound to exhaust their recourse against any Obligor or to pursue any rights or remedies they may have against any Obligor, any other indemnitor or guarantor or any other Person, or to perform any diligence with respect to, make any demand or protest on, provide any notice to or present any note to any Obligor or any Person other than a Guarantor, or file any proof of claim in any insolvency, administration, arrangement, winding-up, liquidation or bankruptcy before demanding or being entitled to demand payment from any Guarantor hereunder.

 

3.9                               Authority

 

The Guarantee Beneficiaries shall not be concerned to see or enquire into the powers of any Obligor or any of the directors, officers, partners (or directors or officers thereof) or agents of any Obligor acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and all moneys, advances, renewals and credits in fact borrowed or obtained in the professed exercise of such powers shall be deemed to form part of the Guaranteed Obligations even if irregularly, fraudulently, defectively or informally effected or in excess of the powers of any Obligor or any of the directors, officers, partners (or directors or officers thereof) or agents of any Obligor, and notwithstanding any incapacity or disability of any thereof, and further notwithstanding any actual or constructive notice of the powers of any Obligor or any of the directors, officers, partners (or directors or officers thereof) or agents of any Obligor.

 

3.10                        Reinstatement

 

Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor, any security for such obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be repaid on insolvency, bankruptcy, administration, arrangement, liquidation or otherwise, the liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall continue as if there had been no such discharge or arrangement. The Guarantee Beneficiaries shall be entitled to concede or compromise any claim that any such payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or repayment.  Furthermore, each Guarantor shall indemnify the Guarantee Beneficiaries on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by them in connection with such discharge or continuation, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such discharge, payment, security or other disposition constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

3.11                        Postponement of Claims

 

During the continuance of an Event of Default, all indebtedness and liabilities, present and future, of each Guarantor to each other Obligor, together with any security therefor, is hereby postponed and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness and liabilities of each such Guarantor to the Guarantee Beneficiaries, and all monies received from any Other Obligor or for the account of such Other Obligor by such Guarantor shall be received and held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent (for itself and the rateable benefit of the other Secured Parties) and

 

H-1-7



 

the other senior creditors of such Guarantor to whom the Guarantor has postponed and subordinated such indebtedness and liabilities to the obligations owed to such other senior creditor on similar terms to the postponement and subordination in this Section 3.11 (the “Other Senior Creditors”) and forthwith upon receipt paid over to the Collateral Agent and the Other Senior Creditors on a pro rata basis until the Guaranteed Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full, all without prejudice to and without in any way limiting or lessening the liability of any Guarantor to the Guarantee Beneficiaries under this Guarantee.

 

3.12                        Subrogation; No Competition with Guarantee Beneficiaries

 

Each Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation, indemnity or contribution under this Guarantee (by virtue of any payment being made by it hereunder, any liability to make payment hereunder, or otherwise), or exercise any right of contribution against any other indemnitor or guarantor, or claim or exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor or any other indemnitor or guarantor, unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations have been finally paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid (including through any exercise of set-off rights) to any Guarantor arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or set-off at a time when the Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid and performed in full, such amount (in the case of a set-off, an amount equal to such set-off in fact exercised by it) shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held by such Guarantor in trust for, the Collateral Agent (for itself and the rateable benefit of the other Secured Parties) and the Other Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent and the Other Senior Creditors on a pro rata basis.  If (i) the Guarantors performs or makes payment to the Guarantee Beneficiaries of all amounts owing by such Guarantors under this Guarantee, and (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations are performed and irrevocably paid in full, then the Guaranteed Beneficiaries will, at any Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantors appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation and warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantors of the Guarantee Beneficiaries’ interest in the Guaranteed Obligations and any security held therefor resulting from such performance or payment by such Guarantors.

 

3.13                        Appropriation

 

During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Guarantee Beneficiaries shall appropriate any payment made or monies received from the Guarantors hereunder to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

 

3.14                        Preservation of Rights

 

Until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid and discharged in full (whether by any Obligor, any Guarantor or otherwise), after a claim has been made pursuant to this Guarantee which has not been paid in full, the Guarantee Beneficiaries may:

 

(a)                                 refrain from applying or enforcing any other security, monies or rights held or received by the Guarantee Beneficiaries, as the case may be, in respect of (or capable of being applied in respect of) such amounts or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as the Guarantee Beneficiaries see fit (whether against

 

H-1-8



 

such amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

 

(b)                                 hold in a suspense account (with the obligation to pay interest on the monies held therein at a reasonable rate available to it for deposits made by it in the same currency on like terms and in like amounts) any monies received from any Guarantor or on account of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee.

 

3.15                        Rights of Set Off

 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Guarantee Beneficiaries is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Guarantee Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document to such Guarantee Beneficiary, irrespective of whether or not such Guarantee Beneficiary has made any demand and although such obligations of any such Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Guarantee Beneficiary different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each of the Guarantee Beneficiaries under this Section 3.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Guarantee Beneficiaries or any of them may have under any other agreement. Each Guarantee Beneficiary agrees to promptly notify such Guarantor after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

3.16                        Waiver of Defenses

 

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of (a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation or the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or instrument; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of any Obligor under the Credit Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Credit Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guarantee, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any collateral or other assets to all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of any Obligor; (g) any failure of any Guarantee Beneficiaries to disclose to any Obligor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Obligor now or hereafter known to such Guarantee Beneficiaries; each Guarantor waiving any duty of the Guarantee Beneficiaries to disclose such information; (h) the failure of

 

H-1-9



 

any other Person to execute or deliver any guarantee or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Obligations; (i) the failure of any Guarantee Beneficiaries to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise; (j) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Borrowers against any Guarantee Beneficiary; or (k) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Guarantee Beneficiary that might vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor or any other guarantor or surety.

in each case regardless of how substantial, fundamental or material such event or circumstance mentioned above may be, or however prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor, and without any requirement for notice to any Guarantor of any of such event or circumstance.

4.2                               Security from the Borrowers or an Obligor

 

(a)                                 Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1 of this Guarantee, the Guarantee Beneficiaries shall be at liberty (without in any way prejudicing or affecting their rights hereunder) from time to time to hold and receive such security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, and may give up, vary, exchange, release, surrender, discharge, waive, postpone, subordinate, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with such security or any part thereof or property covered thereby or allow any Obligor or others to deal with the property covered thereby, all as the Guarantee Beneficiaries may consider expedient or appropriate.

(c)                                  The Guarantee Beneficiaries may realize or refrain from realizing upon any security when, and in such manner, as the Guarantee Beneficiaries deem expedient, and each Guarantor waives any right it may have to receive notice of any actions or proceedings taken in respect thereof.

 

(d)                                 None of (i) the failure to take or any loss of or in respect of any security or the property covered thereby, whether occasioned by the fault, negligence or omission of the Guarantee Beneficiaries or otherwise, (ii) the failure by the Guarantee Beneficiaries, in whole or in part, to put or keep themselves in a position to deliver any security or any of it to any Guarantor on payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (iii) any release, modification or waiver of, or failure, omission, delay, neglect, refusal or lack of diligence to enforce, any right, benefit, privilege or interest under any contract or agreement under which the rights of any Obligor have been collaterally or absolutely assigned or in which a security interest has been granted, shall in any way limit, lessen or release or otherwise abate the liability of each Guarantor hereunder.

 

4.3                               Dealing with the Borrowers or other Obligors

 

It is the intent of each Guarantor and the Guarantee Beneficiaries that the Guarantee Beneficiaries may discontinue, reduce, increase or otherwise vary the credit of the Borrowers and otherwise deal, in the broadest sense of that word, with any Obligor and others, including any other indemnitor or guarantor, as the Guarantee Beneficiaries may see fit, all without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening each Guarantor’s liability hereunder and without necessity for obtaining the consent of or giving notice to any Guarantor.

 

4.4                               Notices not Required

 

No Guarantee Beneficiary nor any other Person shall have any duty or obligation to notify, or timely notify, any Guarantor of (i) any default, event of default, demand or similar event (however denominated) under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as

 

H-1-12



 

applicable), or any renewal, extension, supplement, modification, rearrangement, amendment, restatement, replacement, cancellation, rescission, revocation or reinstatement (whether or not material) in respect thereof, (ii) any taking, release or exchange of any security, (iii) any action taken or not taken by any Guarantee Beneficiary or any other Person against any Obligor or any other Person, (iv) any new agreement between any Guarantee Beneficiary, any Obligor or any other Person, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever.

REPRESENTATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

5.1                               Representations and Acknowledgements

 

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each of the Guaranteed Beneficiaries that it has determined that its liability and obligation under this Guarantee may reasonably be expected to substantially benefit each Guarantor directly, and the board of directors of each Guarantor (or the equivalent thereof) has determined it is in such Guarantor’s interests to enter into this Agreement. Each Guarantor has had full and complete access to the underlying papers relating to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other papers executed by any other Person in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor is fully informed of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing this Guarantee which a diligent inquiry would reveal. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from each Other Obligor, as the case may be, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Other Obligor, and is not depending on any Guarantee Beneficiary to provide such information, now or in the future. Each Guarantor agrees that no Guarantee Beneficiary shall have any obligation to advise or notify any Guarantor or to provide such Guarantor with any data or information. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of all Transaction Documents and understands the obligations of each Obligor thereunder.

 

ARTICLE 6
WITHHOLDING TAXES

 

6.1                               Payments Subject to Taxes

 

If any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) in respect of any payment by it on account of any of its payment obligations under this Guarantee, then:

 

(a)                                 the sum payable shall be increased by that Guarantor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.1) the applicable Guarantee Beneficiaries receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required;

 

(b)                                 such Guarantor shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Applicable Law; and

 

(c)                                  such Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

H-1-13



 

6.2                               Indemnification

 

Each Guarantor shall indemnify each Guarantee Beneficiary, within 10 Banking Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 6.2) payable or paid by the Guarantee Beneficiary or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Guarantee Beneficiary in the same manner and to the same extent required pursuant to section 13.2(c) of the Credit Agreement and such section is deemed to be incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, for such purpose.

 

6.3                               Evidence of Payments

 

As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

 

6.4                               Status of Guarantee Beneficiary

 

Any Guarantee Beneficiary that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Guarantee or under any other Transaction Document shall, at the request of a Guarantor or the Agent, deliver to such Guarantor and the Agent, no later than thirty (30) days after the later of the date of the request and the date such Guarantee Beneficiary becomes a beneficiary under this Guarantee (or designates a new lending office), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Guarantor or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition:

 

(a)                                 any Guarantee Beneficiary, if requested by a Guarantor or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Agent as will enable the Guarantor or the Agent to determine whether or not such Guarantee Beneficiary is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements; and

 

(b)                                 any Guarantee Beneficiary that becomes subject to Canadian withholding tax with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations other than by reason of a Change in Law, shall within five (5) days thereof notify the Guarantor and the Agent in writing.

 

6.5                               Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions

 

If a Guarantee Beneficiary determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a credit, refund or remission of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to such credit, refund or remission (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Article 6 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Guarantee

 

H-1-14



 

Beneficiary and without interest. The Guarantor shall, upon the request of such Guarantee Beneficiary, repay the amount paid over to the Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Guarantee Beneficiary if such Guarantee Beneficiary is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Guarantee Beneficiary to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Guarantor or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

8.2                               Governing Law and Jurisdiction

 

(a)                               THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA AND THE FEDERAL LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.

 

(b)                               Each Guarantor agrees that the courts of Alberta shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding and to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Guarantee and it irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, without prejudice to the rights of any Guarantee Beneficiary to take proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not.

 

(c)                                Each Guarantor agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced against it in the courts of Canada (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or its property is subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided that it does not waive any right to appeal any such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to seek reconsideration or review of any such judgment.

 

8.3                               Payment on Stay

 

If:

 

(a)                               any Obligor or any Guarantor is prevented from making payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations when it would otherwise be required to do so pursuant to the terms hereof; or

 

(b)                               the Guarantee Beneficiaries are prevented from demanding payment of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof;

 

in each case because of a stay or other judicial proceeding or any other legal impediment, all Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts otherwise subject to demand, acceleration or payment shall nevertheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided for hereunder.

 

H-1-16



 

8.4                               Judgment Currency

 

If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Guarantor in any court, or for any other related purpose hereunder, it is necessary to convert an amount due under this Guarantee in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applicable shall be the Spot Rate applicable to the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in the Second Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Banking Day following the receipt of any sum so paid or adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency the payee may purchase in the market the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid or so adjudicated to be due; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Guarantor agrees that the deficiency shall be a separate obligation of it, independent from its obligations under this Guarantee, and shall constitute in favour of the Guarantee Beneficiaries a cause of action which shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order to the contrary, and each Guarantor agrees, notwithstanding any such payment or judgment, to indemnify the Guarantee Beneficiaries against any such loss or deficiency.

 

8.5                               Prohibited Rate

 

In no event shall any interest or fee to be paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. In the event any such interest rate or fee exceeds such maximum rate, such rate shall be adjusted downward to the highest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) or fee that the parties could validly have agreed to by contract on the date hereof under Applicable Law. It is further agreed that any excess actually received by a Guarantee Beneficiary shall be credited against the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

8.6                               Assignment

 

(a)                               The Guarantee Beneficiaries may assign, or grant participation in, this Guarantee (in whole or in part) to any Person to whom they are entitled to assign any Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as applicable).

 

(b)                               Subject to Section 9.2(f) of the Credit Agreement and except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Guarantor shall assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

 

(c)                                Subject to paragraphs (a) and (b), this Guarantee shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon each Guarantor, the Guarantee Beneficiaries, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

8.7                               Severability

 

Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability

 

H-1-17



 

in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

8.8                               Whole Agreement

 

This Guarantee constitutes the whole and entire agreement between the parties hereto and cancels and supersedes any prior agreements, undertakings, declarations, commitments and representations, written or oral, in respect thereof.

 

8.9                               Amendments, Waivers and Consents

 

This Guarantee may only be amended by an agreement in writing among all Guarantors and the Agent, and provisions hereof may be waived or matters consented to by the Agent only if Agent so agrees in writing. Any waiver or consent by the Agent under any provision of this Guarantee may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the Agent. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

 

8.10                        Joinder of Additional Guarantors

 

A Person may from time to time after the date of this Guarantee become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering to the Agent a guarantee supplement (together with all schedules thereto, a “Guarantee Supplement”) to this Guarantee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule “A”. Effective from and after the date of the execution and delivery by any Person to the Guarantee Beneficiaries of a Guarantee Supplement such Person shall be, and shall be deemed for all purposes to be, a Guarantor under this Guarantee with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and guarantees, as if such Person had been an original signatory to this Guarantee as a Guarantor. The execution and delivery of a Guarantee Supplement by any additional Person shall not require the consent of any Guarantor and all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor to this Guarantee.

 

8.11                        Further Assurances

 

Each Obligor shall promptly cure any defect by it in the execution and delivery of this Guarantee.

 

8.12                        Time of the Essence

 

Time shall be of the essence of this Guarantee.

 

8.13                        Separate Action

 

In case of default hereunder, the Guarantee Beneficiaries may maintain an action or separate successive actions upon this Guarantee against each Guarantor whether or not the applicable Obligor is joined therein or a separate action is brought against such Obligor or any other indemnitor or guarantor or any judgment obtained against any of them. The Guarantee Beneficiaries’ rights shall not be exhausted by the exercise of any of the Guarantee Beneficiaries’ rights hereunder or otherwise against any Guarantor or by any number of successive actions until

 

H-1-18



 

and unless all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid and performed, and each of every Guarantor’s obligations hereunder has been fully performed.

 

8.14                        Waiver and Acknowledgement

 

Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives:

 

(a)                                 notice of acceptance of this Guarantee;

 

(b)                                 notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(c)                                  any right to require marshalling of assets and liabilities;

 

(d)                                 presentment, notice of dishonour and protest;

 

(e)                                  diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligation hereunder; and

 

(f)                                   any requirement that the Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Obligor under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as applicable), or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.11                        Subrogation; No Competition with Guarantee Beneficiaries

 

The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation, indemnity or contribution under this Guarantee (by virtue of any payment being made by it hereunder, any liability to make payment hereunder, or otherwise), or exercise any right of contribution against any other indemnitor or guarantor, or claim or exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor or any other indemnitor or guarantor, unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations have been finally paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid (including through any exercise of set-off rights) to the Guarantor arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or set-off at a time when the Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid and performed in full, such amount (in the case of a set-off, an amount equal to such set-off in fact exercised by it) shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held by the Guarantor in trust for, the Collateral Agent (for itself and the rateable benefit of the other Secured Parties) and the Other Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent and the Other Senior Creditors on a pro rata basis. If (i) the Guarantor performs or makes payment to the Guarantee Beneficiaries of all amounts owing by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, and (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations are performed and irrevocably paid in full, then the Guarantee Beneficiaries will, at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation and warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of the Guarantee Beneficiaries’

interest in the Guaranteed Obligations and any security held therefor resulting from such performance or payment by the Guarantor.

During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Guarantee Beneficiaries shall appropriate any payment made or monies received from the Guarantor hereunder to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

 

3.13                        Preservation of Rights

 

Until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid and discharged in full (whether by any Obligor, the Guarantor or otherwise), after a claim has been made pursuant to this Guarantee which has not been paid in full, the Guarantee Beneficiaries may:

 

(a)                                 refrain from applying or enforcing any other security, monies or rights held or received by the Guarantee Beneficiaries, as the case may be, in respect of (or capable of being applied in respect of) such amounts or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as the Guarantee Beneficiaries see fit (whether against such amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

 

(b)                                 hold in a suspense account (with the obligation to pay interest on the monies held therein at a reasonable rate available to it for deposits made by it in the same currency on like terms and in like amounts) any monies received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee.

 

3.14                        Rights of Set Off

 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Guarantee Beneficiaries is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Guarantee Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document to such Guarantee Beneficiary, irrespective of whether or not such Guarantee Beneficiary has made any demand and although such obligations of any such Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Guarantee Beneficiary different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each of the Guarantee Beneficiaries under this Section 3.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that the Guarantee Beneficiaries or any of them may have under any other agreement. Each Guarantee Beneficiary agrees to promptly notify the Guarantor after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

H-2-8



 

3.15                        Waiver of Defenses

 

The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of (a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation or the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or instrument; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of any Obligor under the Credit Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Credit Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guarantee, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any collateral or other assets to all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of any Obligor; (g) any failure of any Guarantee Beneficiaries to disclose to any Obligor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Obligor now or hereafter known to such Guarantee Beneficiaries; the Guarantor waiving any duty of the Guarantee Beneficiaries to disclose such information; (h) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any guarantee or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Obligations; (i) the failure of any Guarantee Beneficiaries to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise; (j) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Borrowers against any Guarantee Beneficiary; or (k) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Guarantee Beneficiary that might vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor or any other guarantor or surety.

(a)                               Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1 of this Guarantee, the Guarantee Beneficiaries shall be at liberty (without in any way prejudicing or affecting their rights hereunder) from time to time to hold and receive such security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, and may give up, vary, exchange, release, surrender, discharge, waive, postpone, subordinate, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with such security or any part thereof or property covered thereby or allow any Obligor or others to deal with the property covered thereby, all as the Guarantee Beneficiaries may consider expedient or appropriate.

H-2-12



 

5.3                               Dealing with the Borrowers or other Obligors

 

It is the intent of the Guarantor and the Guarantee Beneficiaries that the Guarantee Beneficiaries may discontinue, reduce, increase or otherwise vary the credit of the Borrowers and otherwise deal, in the broadest sense of that word, with any Obligor and others, including any other indemnitor or guarantor, as the Guarantee Beneficiaries may see fit, all without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening the Guarantor’s liability hereunder and without necessity for obtaining the consent of or giving notice to the Guarantor.

 

5.4                               Notices not Required

 

No Guarantee Beneficiary nor any other Person shall have any duty or obligation to notify, or timely notify, the Guarantor of (i) any default, event of default, demand or similar event (however denominated) under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as applicable), or any renewal, extension, supplement, modification, rearrangement, amendment, restatement, replacement, cancellation, rescission, revocation or reinstatement (whether or not material) in respect thereof, (ii) any taking, release or exchange of any security, (iii) any action taken or not taken by any Guarantee Beneficiary or any other Person against any Obligor or any other Person, (iv) any new agreement between any Guarantee Beneficiary, any Obligor or any other Person, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever.

 

ARTICLE 6
REPRESENTATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

6.1                               Representations and Acknowledgements

 

The Guarantor represents and warrants to each of the Guarantee Beneficiaries that it has determined that its liability and obligation under this Guarantee may reasonably be expected to substantially benefit the Guarantor directly, and the board of directors of the Guarantor (or the equivalent thereof) has determined it is in the Guarantor’s interests to enter into this Agreement. The Guarantor has had full and complete access to the underlying papers relating to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other papers executed by any other Person in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor is fully informed of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing this Guarantee which a diligent inquiry would reveal. The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from each Obligor, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Obligors, and is not depending on any Guarantee Beneficiary to provide such information, now or in the future. The Guarantor agrees that no Guarantee Beneficiary shall have any obligation to advise or notify the Guarantor or to provide the Guarantor with any data or information. The Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of all Transaction Documents and understands the obligations of each Obligor thereunder.

 

ARTICLE 7
WITHHOLDING TAXES

 

7.1                               Payments Subject to Taxes

 

If the Guarantor is required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other

 

H-2-13



 

Taxes) in respect of any payment by it on account of any of its payment obligations under this Guarantee, then:

 

(a)                               the sum payable shall be increased by that Guarantor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.1) the applicable Guarantee Beneficiaries receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required;

 

(b)                               the Guarantor shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Applicable Law; and

 

(c)                                the Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

7.2                               Indemnification

 

The Guarantor shall indemnify each Guarantee Beneficiary, within 10 Banking Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.2) payable or paid by the Guarantee Beneficiary or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Guarantee Beneficiary in the same manner and to the same extent required pursuant to section 13.2(c) of the Credit Agreement and such section is deemed to be incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, for such purpose.

 

7.3                               Evidence of Payments

 

As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

 

7.4                               Status of Guarantee Beneficiary

 

Any Guarantee Beneficiary that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Guarantee or under any other Transaction Document shall, at the request of the Guarantor or the Agent, deliver to the Guarantor and the Agent, no later than thirty (30) days after the later of the date of the request and the date such Guarantee Beneficiary becomes a beneficiary under this Guarantee (or designates a new lending office), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition:

 

(a)                               any Guarantee Beneficiary, if requested by the Guarantor or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Agent as will enable the Guarantor or the Agent to

 

H-2-14



 

determine whether or not such Guarantee Beneficiary is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements; and

 

(b)                               any Guarantee Beneficiary that becomes subject to Canadian withholding tax with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations other than by reason of a Change in Law, shall within five (5) days thereof notify the Guarantor and the Agent in writing.

 

7.5                               Treatment of Certain Refunds and Tax Reductions

 

If a Guarantee Beneficiary determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a credit, refund or remission of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Article 7, it shall pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to such credit, refund or remission (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Article 7 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Guarantee Beneficiary and without interest. The Guarantor shall, upon the request of such Guarantee Beneficiary, repay the amount paid over to the Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Guarantee Beneficiary if such Guarantee Beneficiary is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Guarantee Beneficiary to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Guarantor or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

 

ARTICLE 8
EXPENSES

 

8.1                               Expenses

 

The Guarantor shall pay to the Guarantee Beneficiaries all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Guarantee Beneficiaries from time to time in the enforcement, realization and collection of or in respect of this Guarantee, including the reasonable fees of legal counsel for the Guarantee Beneficiaries on a solicitor-and-his-own-client basis. All such amounts shall be payable by the Guarantor on demand, and shall bear interest at the Prime Rate then in effect plus 2.00% per annum, calculated from the date demanded by the Guarantee Beneficiaries to the date paid by the Guarantor.

 

ARTICLE 9

9.1                               Notice

 

Any notice, communication or demand to be made or given hereunder shall be in writing and may be made or given by personal delivery or by facsimile or other electronic means of communication addressed as follows:

To the Guarantee Beneficiaries:

 

Royal Bank of Canada, as Agent

Toronto, Ontario
M5H 1C4

 

Attention:                                         Manager, Agency
Facsimile:                                         (416) 842 - 4023

 

or to such other address or facsimile number as any party may from time to time notify the other in accordance with this Section 9.1. Any notice, communication or demand made or given by personal delivery during usual business hours at the place of receipt on a Banking Day shall be deemed to have been given on the day of actual delivery thereof. Any notice, communication or demand made or given by personal delivery after usual business hours on a Banking Day or by facsimile or other electronic means of communication shall be deemed to have been given, on the first Banking Day following the delivery or transmittal thereof.

 

9.2                               Governing Law and Jurisdiction

 

(a)                               THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA AND THE FEDERAL LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.

 

(b)                               The Guarantor agrees that the courts of Alberta shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding and to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Guarantee and it irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, without prejudice to the rights of any Guarantee Beneficiary to take proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not.

 

(c)                                The Guarantor agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced against it in the courts of Canada (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or its property is subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided that it does not waive any right to appeal any such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to seek reconsideration or review of any such judgment.

 

H-2-16



 

9.3                               Payment on Stay

 

If:

 

(a)                               any Obligor or the Guarantor is prevented from making payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations when it would otherwise be required to do so pursuant to the terms hereof; or

 

(b)                               the Guarantee Beneficiaries are prevented from demanding payment of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof;

 

in each case because of a stay or other judicial proceeding or any other legal impediment, all Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts otherwise subject to demand, acceleration or payment shall nevertheless be payable by the Guarantor as provided for hereunder.

 

9.4                               Judgment Currency

 

If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Guarantor in any court, or for any other related purpose hereunder, it is necessary to convert an amount due under this Guarantee in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applicable shall be the Spot Rate applicable to the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency. The Guarantor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in the Second Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Banking Day following the receipt of any sum so paid or adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency the payee may purchase in the market the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid or so adjudicated to be due; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Guarantor agrees that the deficiency shall be a separate obligation of it, independent from its obligations under this Guarantee, and shall constitute in favour of the Guarantee Beneficiaries a cause of action which shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order to the contrary, and the Guarantor agrees, notwithstanding any such payment or judgment, to indemnify the Guarantee Beneficiaries against any such loss or deficiency.

 

9.5                               Prohibited Rate

 

In no event shall any interest or fee to be paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. In the event any such interest rate or fee exceeds such maximum rate, such rate shall be adjusted downward to the highest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) or fee that the parties could validly have agreed to by contract on the date hereof under Applicable Law. It is further agreed that any excess actually received by a Guarantee Beneficiary shall be credited against the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

9.6                               Assignment

 

(a)                               The Guarantee Beneficiaries may assign, or grant participation in, this Guarantee (in whole or in part) to any Person to whom they are entitled to assign any

 

H-2-17



 

Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as applicable).

 

(b)                               Subject to Section 9.2(f) of the Credit Agreement and except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

 

(c)                                Subject to paragraphs (a) and (b), this Guarantee shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Guarantor, the Guarantee Beneficiaries, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

9.7                               Severability

 

Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

9.8                               Whole Agreement

 

This Guarantee constitutes the whole and entire agreement between the parties hereto and cancels and supersedes any prior agreements, undertakings, declarations, commitments and representations, written or oral, in respect thereof.

 

9.9                               Amendments, Waivers and Consents

 

This Guarantee may only be amended by an agreement in writing among the Guarantor and the Agent, and provisions hereof may be waived or matters consented to by the Agent only if Agent so agrees in writing. Any waiver or consent by the Agent under any provision of this Guarantee may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the Agent. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

 

9.10                        Further Assurances

 

The Guarantor shall promptly cure any defect by it in the execution and delivery of this Guarantee.

 

9.11                        Time of the Essence

 

Time shall be of the essence of this Guarantee.

 

9.12                        Separate Action

 

In case of default hereunder, the Guarantee Beneficiaries may maintain an action or separate successive actions upon this Guarantee against the Guarantor whether or not the Guarantor is joined therein or a separate action is brought against the Guarantor or any other indemnitor or guarantor or any judgment obtained against any of them. The Guarantee

 

H-2-18



 

Beneficiaries’ rights shall not be exhausted by the exercise of any of the Guarantee Beneficiaries’ rights hereunder or otherwise against the Guarantor or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid and performed, and the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder has been fully performed.

 

9.13                        Waiver and Acknowledgement

 

The Guarantor hereby expressly waives:

 

(a)                               notice of acceptance of this Guarantee;

 

(b)                               notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(c)                                any right to require marshalling of assets and liabilities;

 

(d)                               presentment, notice of dishonour and protest;

 

(e)                                diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligation hereunder; and

 

(f)                                 any requirement that the Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Obligor under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as applicable), or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
