Whenever any payment or calculation is to be made on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment or calculation may be made on the immediately succeeding Banking Day unless, with respect to payments, as a result thereof, such payment would be made in the next calendar month, in which case payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day.

Article 6. Yield Protection.

6.01 Substitute Basis of Borrowing.

 

  (a) If the Lender on any Interest Determination Date determines that (i) LIBOR cannot be determined as contemplated by the definition thereof in Article 1 or (ii) if the applicable LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Loan during such Interest Period, the Lender shall so notify the Borrower.

 

  (b) The Lender and the Borrower shall then enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing on an alternative mutually acceptable basis for funding the Loan and for determining the interest rates from time to time applicable to the Loan (hereinafter referred to as the “Substitute Basis of Borrowing”). If at the expiry of thirty (30) days from the date of the notice, the Lender and the Borrower have agreed on such Substitute Basis of Borrowing, it shall be retroactive to and take effect from the beginning of the then current Interest Period.

 

  (c) If at the expiry of thirty (30) days from the date of any such notice, no Substitute Basis of Borrowing has been agreed upon, then the rate of interest applicable to the Loan from the beginning of the then current Interest Period and thereafter shall be the rate equal to the aggregate of the Margin plus the per annum interest rate which shall be notified by the Lender to the Borrower as determined by the Lender; provided, that the Borrower may prepay the Loan after thirty (30) days following the date of such notice together with interest accrued thereon at the rate which is the Margin plus the per annum interest rate which shall be notified by the Lender to the Borrower as representing the cost to the Lender of funding (whether in Dollars or any other currency) the Loan during such period.

6.02 Taxes.

 

  (a) Any and all payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of the Lender imposed by the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the location of the Lender and any political subdivisions thereof (all such non-excluded taxes hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to make any such deduction from any payment hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

- 10 -

  (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any instrument delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”) except as specified in Section 3.04(b).

 

  (c) The Borrower will indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including without limitation any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally assessed. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefore.

 

  (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 6.02(a) through (c) shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.

 

  (e) If the Borrower shall be required to reimburse the Lender or make any payment under Sections 6.02(a) through (d) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by a law or regulation which comes into effect after the date of this Agreement, the Borrower shall be free at any time within thirty (30) days of the effectiveness of the requirement of such reimbursement or payment to prepay the Loan as provided in Section 6.05, subject to giving the Lender not less than five (5) Banking Days’ notice thereof.

6.03 Change of Law.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof shall make it unlawful for the Lender to (i) honor its Commitment or (ii) maintain the Loans, then the Commitment shall terminate and the Borrower shall forthwith, or within such longer period as may be allowed by such law, rule or regulation, prepay the Loans as provided in Section 6.05.

 

- 11 -

6.04 Adversity Prepayment.

If the Borrower shall exercise its right to prepay the Loan pursuant to Sections 6.01 or 6.02, or if the Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loan pursuant to Section 6.03, the Borrower shall pay such amounts, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment (computed on the Substitute Basis of Borrowing, if applicable, for the time it is in effect) and all other fees or other amounts payable hereunder, together with such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Lender for any costs or losses resulting from such prepayment.
