This right is intended to be additional to and cumulative with any and all other rights that the Initial Lender may now have under such contractual arrangements to terminate such contractual arrangements, including those additional rights set out in the Amendment, and as such, shall not derogate or amend any other rights that the Initial Lender has available to it thereunder, including any existing or other rights of termination thereunder or in connection therewith.

Article 3
CALCULATION OF INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES

 

3.1Calculation and Payment of Interest

 

3.1.1The Borrower will pay interest on each Term A Loan outstanding from the date when made, and all interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest, at LIBOR plus 800bps. Each determination of LIBOR by the Required Term A Lenders in respect of the Term A Facility shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Unless and until the Required Term A Lenders advise the Borrower in writing that the Borrower shall no longer have the option to capitalize interest on the Term A Loans, all interest accruing on the Term A Loans to the Maturity Date shall, unless paid by the Borrower, be capitalized annually and added at the end of each calendar year, to the principal balance of the Term A Loans, and thereafter interest shall be calculated on such increased principal balance at the same rate applicable to the Term A Loans as specified above.

 

3.1.2The Borrower will pay interest on each Term B Loan outstanding from the date when made, and all interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest, at a rate per annum equal to 10%. Unless and until the Required Term B Lenders advise the Borrower in writing that the Borrower shall no longer have the option to capitalize interest on the Term B Loans, all interest accruing on the Term B Loans from and after January 1, 2018 to the Maturity Date shall, unless paid by the Borrower, be capitalized annually and added at the end of each calendar year, to the principal balance of the Term B Loans, and thereafter interest shall be calculated on such increased principal balance at the same rate applicable to the Term B Loans as specified above.

 

3.1.3All computations of interest payable under this Agreement, including of LIBOR, shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year (or three hundred sixty six (366) days in the case of a leap year), in each case, based on actual days elapsed.

 

3.1.4To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower will pay interest on all overdue amounts owing by the Borrower under this Agreement (other than on amounts which have been capitalized in accordance with Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2, which capitalized interest, for greater certainty, shall not be considered to be overdue but shall bear interest as provided in Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2), including on any overdue interest payments, from the date each of those amounts is due until the date each of those amounts is paid in full at the applicable rate specified in clause 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 above, plus two (2) percent, which amount will be calculated daily, added to the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loans monthly, and shall be payable on demand of any Lender.

 

   
 - 35 - 

 

3.2Expenses

 

The Borrower will pay to the Lenders on the Closing Date, or reimburse the Lenders for, the following reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements (on a solicitor and its own client basis):

 

3.2.1the expenses of the Lenders incurred in negotiating, preparing, registering and executing the Loan Documents; and

 

3.2.2the expenses of the Lenders incurred in enforcing the Loan Documents, including the costs of legal counsel acting on behalf of the Lender.

 

3.3General Provisions Regarding Interest

 

3.3.1Each determination by the Required Lenders (or a subset thereof as provided in this Agreement) of the amount of interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders (or subset) under this Agreement will be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the determination.

 

3.3.2Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement (i) will accrue and be calculated daily, but not compounded, on the principal amount of each Loan as described in this Agreement, (ii) will be payable on each Interest Payment Date, and both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment, and (iii) when in arrears, will be added to the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loans monthly and shall be payable on demand; it being understood and agreed that interest will not be considered to be in arrears hereunder as long as it is being capitalized in accordance with Sections 3.1.1 or 3.1.2. Interest and fees shall accrue during each interest period during which interest or fees are computed from and including the first (1st) day thereof to and including the last day thereof. For greater certainty, the term “interest period”, where used herein, shall mean a calendar month (or portion thereof, as applicable) from and including the first (1st) day thereof to and including the last day thereof.

 

3.3.3To the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, the covenant of the Borrower to pay interest at the rates provided in this Agreement will not merge in any judgment relating to any obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders.

 

3.3.4For the purposes of the Interest Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-15:

 

3.3.4.1the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest will not apply to any calculation or determination of interest under this Agreement;

 

3.3.4.2the rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates; and

 

3.3.4.3unless otherwise stated, each rate of interest specified in this Agreement as an interest rate “per annum” or a similar expression, is to be calculated on the basis of a calendar year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the annual rate of interest which is equivalent to that interest rate will be that rate multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in each year and the denominator of which is 365 or 366 days, as applicable. If the amount of any interest is determined or expressed on the basis of a period of less than a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, the equivalent annual rate is equal to the rate so determined or expressed, divided by the number of days in the period, and multiplied by the actual number of days in that calendar year.

 

   
 - 36 - 

 

3.4Maximum Return

 

3.4.1In no event will any interest, fees or other amounts payable under this Agreement exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. If any provisions of this Agreement would require the Borrower to pay any interest or make any other payment that is construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in receipt by any Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as those terms are construed under the Criminal Code), then despite those provisions, that amount or rate will be deemed to have been reduced to the maximum amount or rate recoverable under Applicable Law, as if the Parties had agreed to that amount or rate by contract. That reduction will be effected, to the extent necessary:

 

3.4.1.1firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest otherwise required to be paid under Article 3 of this Agreement; and

 

3.4.1.2secondly, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts that would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code.

 

3.4.2If, despite the provisions of this Section 3.4 and after giving effect to all reductions under it, any Lender has received an amount or rate in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code, then that excess will be applied by such Lender to reduce the principal balance of the Borrower’s Obligations outstanding and not to the payment of interest, with any remaining portion being paid to subsequent secured creditors or to the applicable Obligors, as determined by Applicable Law.

 

3.4.3Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 3.4 will be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles at an effective annual rate of interest over the term of this Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees, expenses or other amounts that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code) will, if they relate to a specific period of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the term of this Agreement and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Required Lenders will be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.

4.5Subordination of Term B Facility to Term A Facility

 

4.5.1The principal amount of the Term B Loans and any interest (including capitalized interest) payable thereon and any fees payable in respect thereof (collectively, the “Subordinate Debt”) are and shall remain subordinate to the prior payment and satisfaction by the Obligors of the principal amount of the Term A Loans and any interest (including capitalized interest) payable thereon and any fees payable in respect thereof (collectively, the “Senior Debt”), to the extent and in the manner provided under this Section 4.5. Each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter arising, shall be deemed to have acquired the Senior Debt in reliance upon the provisions contained herein and each holder of Subordinate Debt shall be deemed to be bound hereby.

 

   
 - 39 - 

 

4.5.2No payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property or by set-off) of principal, interest or any other amount due with respect to the Subordinate Debt shall be made or received, and no holder of Subordinate Debt shall exercise any right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any Subordinate Debt, until all of the Senior Debt is Paid in Full; provided, however, except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence or in subsection 4.5.3 below and subject to the provisions of subsection 4.5.4, any Obligor may make and each holder of Subordinate Debt may accept Permitted Subordinate Debt Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor may make, and no holder of Subordinate Debt, may receive:

 

(a)any payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to the Subordinate Debt if, at the time of such payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, a Senior Payment Default exists in respect of the Senior Debt and the holders of Subordinate Debt have received a Senior Default Notice specifying such existence; or

 

(b)subject to the penultimate sentence of this subsection 4.5.2 below, any payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to the Subordinate Debt if, at the time of such payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, the holders of Subordinate Debt have received a Senior Default Notice stating that a Senior Covenant Default exists or would be created by the making of such payment.

 

The Obligors may resume Permitted Subordinate Debt Payments and may make any Permitted Subordinate Debt Payments missed due to the application of clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section 4.5.2 (a “Deferred Permitted Subordinate Debt Payment”):

 

(c)in the case of a Senior Payment Default referred to in clause (a) of this Section 4.5.2 above, upon the cure or waiver thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or

 

(d)in the case of a Senior Covenant Default referred to in clause (b) of this Section 4.5.2 above, upon the earlier to occur of (x) the cure or waiver thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (y) the expiration of 120 days from the date on which the applicable Senior Default Notice was received.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.5.2 to the contrary:

 

(1)no Obligor shall be prohibited from making, and the holders of Subordinate Debt shall not be prohibited from receiving, payments as a result of clause (b) of this subsection 4.5.2 for more than an aggregate of 120 days within any period of 365 consecutive days;

(3)no more than two (2) Senior Default Notices may be sent pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 4.5.2 during any consecutive 365-day period and no more than six (6) Senior Default Notices may be sent pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 4.5.2 during the term of this Agreement.

4.5.3In the event of a Proceeding with respect to any Obligor or any of its properties: (i) all Senior Debt first shall be Paid in Full before any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) of or with respect to the Subordinate Debt shall be made by, or from the assets or estate of, such Obligor; and (ii) any payment which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinate Debt shall be paid or delivered directly to holders of Senior Debt in accordance with their Pro Rata Share thereof until all Senior Debt is Paid in Full, and each holder of Subordinate Debt irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any and all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries.

 

4.5.4Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, no holder of Subordinate Debt or the Required Term B Lenders shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Term A Lenders, take any action to collect, enforce payment or accelerate any of the Subordinate Debt, exercise any of the remedies with respect to the Subordinate Debt set forth in the Security Documents or that otherwise may be available to any such holder or Lenders, either at law or in equity, by judicial proceedings (including by filing a Proceeding) or otherwise (an “Enforcement Action”), except that: (1) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the Required Term B Lenders may deliver to the Obligors a notice of acceleration provided such acceleration is not effective until the earliest of the dates specified in clause (i) through (v) below; (2) the Required Term B Lenders may take legal action seeking specific performance or injunctive relief against any Obligor to enforce covenants (other than covenants to pay any of the Subordinate Debt) contained in the Loan Documents; provided that such action does not require the making of any payments to the holders of Subordinate Debt; (3) upon expiration of a payment blockage period in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5.2 and the failure of the Obligors to pay any Deferred Permitted Subordinate Debt Payment, the Required Term B Lenders may take legal action to enforce payment of such Deferred Permitted Subordinate Debt Payment but shall not be permitted to take any other Enforcement Action; and (4) as provided in the following sentence. Upon the earliest to occur of:

 

(i)the passage of 120 days from the earlier of (a) the date of receipt of a Subordinate Default Notice if the Subordinate Default described therein shall not have been cured or waived within such period in accordance with this Agreement, or (b) the date on which a Senior Default Notice is given pursuant to Section 4.5.2;

 - 41 - 

 

(v)the Maturity Date,

 

the holders of Subordinate Debt may take Enforcement Action.

 

4.5.5If (a) any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) not permitted under this Agreement is received by any holder of Subordinate Debt on account thereof before all Senior Debt is Paid in Full, or (b) any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) is received by any holder of Subordinate Debt on account thereof when a Senior Payment Default exists and such holder of Subordinate Debt is notified of such Senior Payment Default within ten (10) days after the date on which such payment of Subordinate Debt was scheduled to be made, then each such payment (including any subsequent payment in respect of the Subordinate Debt made during the continuation of such Senior Payment Default) shall be paid over promptly to the holders of the Senior Debt in accordance with their Pro Rate Shares thereof, or to their designated representative, for application in accordance with this Agreement to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.

 

4.5.6No holder of Subordinate Debt shall sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinate Debt, unless prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferor and transferee thereof shall execute and deliver an agreement in favour of the Obligors and Lenders hereunder agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected by this Section 4.5 shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinate Debt, and the terms of this Section 4.5 shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each holder of Subordinate Debt.

5.3Taxes

 

5.3.1Except as required by an Applicable Law, each payment by any Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future Taxes.

 

5.3.2If any Taxes shall be required by any Applicable Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Lender (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 5.3), such Lender receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Obligor shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Obligor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (iv) within thirty (30) days after such payment is made, the relevant Obligor shall deliver to the Lenders an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment.

A certificate of the relevant Lender claiming any compensation under this Section 5.3.4, setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

5.3.5If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to the Borrower any documentation under any Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower sufficient for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Lender Party has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment under FATCA, if any.

Any Lender shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim or the cost of making and pursuing such claim will outweigh the amount of the refund likely to be received.

 

   
 - 44 - 

 

5.3.7If the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax payable under Section 5.3, the Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. The Borrower shall, forthwith on request, indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3.7, and if so requested, shall advance reasonable sums to the Lender to fund any action to be taken by the Lender hereunder.

All amounts paid by any Lender under this Section 10.6 will be repaid by the Borrower on demand for payment, and will bear interest at 12% per annum commencing on the day of payment of those amounts by such Lender, calculated daily and payable on demand.

 

10.7Grant of Licence

11.3Enforcement

 

11.3.1Any Enforcement Action may be commenced by the Required Term A Lenders, or subject to compliance by the Term B Lenders with the provisions of Section 4.5, the Required Term B Lenders.
