(i)In order to facilitate the Australian Borrower’s cash management requirements, the Australian Swingline Lender in its capacity as an Australian Lender agrees to make available, upon the request of the Australian Borrower and with the consent of the Australian Swingline Lender (acting in its sole discretion), the Australian Swingline Facility to the Australian Borrower. Any increase in the Australian Swingline Commitment must have a corresponding decrease in the Australian Revolving Facility Commitment. Following an increase and corresponding decrease in such Commitments, Administration Agent shall make such changes as are necessary to Schedule “H-5” to reflect such changes to the Commitments. The Australian Swingline Facility shall be used by the Australian Borrower to fund amounts which would otherwise be drawn down by the Australian Borrower under the Australian Revolving Facility pursuant to Section 2.2(i) but for such amounts not being, in a minimum principal amount of A$300,000 and multiples of A$100,000 thereafter.

 48 

 

(ii)At any time and from time to time in its discretion, the Australian Swingline Lender may notify the Australian Agent that the Australian Swingline Lender wishes each of the Australian Lenders to provide its Participation in the Australian Revolving Facility for Advances made under the Australian Swingline Facility, in which case the Australian Agent shall forthwith notify each of the Australian Lenders of such Participation and each Australian Lender shall thereupon provide to the Australian Agent, for the account of the Australian Swingline Lender, such Australian Lender’s Participation under the Australian Revolving Facility; provided however, no such Participation shall cause any such Australian Lender to exceed its Total Australian Commitment. The amounts so provided by the Australian Lenders in respect of the Australian Swingline Facility shall be deemed to be Australian Base Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars under the Australian Revolving Facility in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (and for such purposes any notice provisions or minimum amounts of such Loans otherwise required under this Agreement shall be disregarded except for the proviso to this Section 2.2(j)(ii). The aggregate of the amounts paid by the Australian Lenders to the Australian Agent in respect of the Australian Swingline Facility shall be paid by the Australian Agent to the Australian Swingline Lender and applied by the Australian Swingline Lender to reduce the then outstanding Loans under the Australian Swingline Facility.

(v)The Australian Swingline Lender shall determine the Australian Base Rate for Advances made under the Australian Swingline Facility.
 49

(i)A Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Canadian Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lender, as the context shall require.

 

(ii)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.2(k)(i) above.

 

2.3Conversion

 

A Borrower may, upon giving prior written notice to the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the Australian Agent and/or the European Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), (c), (e), (g) or (i), as the case may be, containing the information set out in Schedule “D” effective on any Business Day during the term of this Agreement (a “Conversion”), convert on the Conversion Date Advances outstanding from one Type to another Type to the extent such Type is available hereunder and under the applicable Revolving Facility, provided that:

2.5Participation of Each Lender; Defaulting Lender

 

(a)The Canadian Agent is authorized by the Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Lender to allocate amongst the Canadian Lenders the Bankers’ Acceptances to be issued and purchased in such manner and amounts as the Canadian Agent may, in its sole and unfettered discretion consider necessary and equitable, rounding up or down, so as to ensure that no Canadian Lender is required to accept and purchase a Bankers’ Acceptance for a fraction of Cdn.$100,000; provided however the Canadian Agent shall seek to allocate such Bankers’ Acceptances in such amounts and for such terms, over time, as to maintain the Participations of all such Canadian Lenders in substantially the relative amounts and percentages set out on Schedule “H”. To the extent, if any, necessary to maintain each such Participation as the result of the foregoing, the Canadian Agent shall allocate a lesser or greater amount of other Advances to each Canadian Lender.

 

(b)At the time of making any Loan, the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, shall, if appropriate, re-allocate amounts made available to the Borrowers under any of the Loans to give effect to the Participation of each Lender, determined immediately prior to the making of a Loan.

 

(c)For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Borrowings, the Administration Agent may exclude the Commitments, Loans and Banker’s Acceptance of any Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Participation. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or the Continuing Guarantees, except as provided in Section 13.8(a), (b), (c) and (h).

 

(d)The Administration Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Administration Agent such amounts until all Borrowings and indebtedness owing to the Administration Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Lenders and Issuing Bank have been paid in full. The Administration Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to cash collateralize such Lender’s Letter of Credit obligations, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee. If any Letter of Credit obligation owing to a Defaulting Lender is reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such Letter of Credit obligations shall be paid to such Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Letter of Credit obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender may be reallocated to the other Lenders only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the exposure, as applicable, of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. The Administration Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to Letter of Credit obligations that are not reallocated.
 52 

 

(e)If any Borrowings are outstanding under a Swingline Facility at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

 

(i)all or any part of the outstanding Swingline Facility, of which the Defaulting Lender would be required to participate in, shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in the applicable Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Participations but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ total exposure plus such Defaulting Lenders’ Swingline Facility exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; or

 

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administration Agent first, repay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Facility exposure.

 

(f)If a Defaulting Lender exists, the Canadian Swingline Lender, the U.S. Swingline Lender, the U.S. Sweep Depositary or the Australian Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall not be required to fund the applicable Swingline Facility, unless the Canadian Swingline Lender, the U.S. Swingline Lender, the U.S. Sweep Depositary or the Australian Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Canadian Swingline Lender, the U.S. Swingline Lender, the U.S. Sweep Depositary or the Australian Swingline Lender, as applicable, as the case may be, to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder.

 

(g)Borrowers, the Administration Agent and applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Participation shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Administration Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Participation. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Administration Agent and applicable Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of Letter of Credit obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

 

2.6Bankers’ Acceptances and Existing Euribor Loans

 

(a)Each Banker’s Acceptance tendered by the Canadian Borrower or CMN for acceptance by a Canadian Lender under the Canadian Revolving Facility shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars and be payable in Canada. The Canadian Borrower and CMN acknowledge that the Canadian Lenders may require the delivery of drafts which are in conformity with the rules and procedures of a clearing house (as that term is defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)) used by the Canadian Lenders for the delivery, transfer and collection of bankers’ acceptances and depository bills.
 53 

 

(b)The Borrower shall provide for each accepted draft at its maturity to the Canadian Agent either by payment of the full principal amount thereof or through utilization of the Canadian Revolving Facility in accordance with this Agreement or through a combination thereof. Neither the Canadian Borrower nor CMN may at any time request that any Bankers’ Acceptance be issued if the face amount of such requested Bankers’ Acceptance together with the aggregate of the other outstanding Loans under the Canadian Revolving Facility, would exceed the amount available to be Drawdown under the Canadian Revolving Facility at such time. Any amount owing by the Canadian Borrower or CMN in respect of any Bankers’ Acceptance which is not paid or provided for in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed to be a Canadian Prime Rate Loan owing by it to the Canadian Lenders and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan. Each of the Canadian Borrower and CMN hereby authorizes the Canadian Lenders to debit its account by the amount required to pay any such drafts made by it and accepted as a Bankers’ Acceptance hereunder which is not otherwise paid.

 

(c)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall then be continuing unremedied not waived by the Lenders (whether or not demand is made), the Canadian Borrower and CMN shall forthwith pay to the Canadian Agent an amount equal to the Canadian Lender’s maximum potential liability under all such outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances. Such amount shall be held by the Canadian Agent as general and continuing cash collateral for payment of the indebtedness and liability of the Canadian Borrower and CMN to the Canadian Lenders in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances and any other obligations to the Canadian Lenders.

 

(d)To facilitate the acceptance of Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, each of the Canadian Borrower and CMN hereby authorizes the Canadian Lenders and irrevocably appoints the Canadian Lenders as its attorney:

 

(i)to complete and sign on its behalf, either manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, the drafts to create the Bankers’ Acceptances (with, in the Canadian Lender’s discretion, the inscription “This is a depository bill subject to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada))”;

 

(ii)after the acceptance thereof by the applicable Canadian Lender, to endorse on its behalf, either manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, such Bankers’ Acceptances in favour of the applicable purchaser or endorsee thereof including, in the Canadian Lender’s discretion, the Canadian Lender or a clearing house (as defined by the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada));

 

(iii)to deliver such Bankers’ Acceptances to such purchaser or to deposit such Bankers’ Acceptances with such clearing house; and

 

(iv)to comply with the procedures and requirements established from time to time by the Canadian Lenders or such clearing house in respect of the delivery, transfer and collection of bankers’ acceptances and depository bills.

 

All Bankers’ Acceptances so completed, signed, endorsed, delivered or deposited by a Canadian Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower or CMN shall be binding upon the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as the case may be, as if completed, signed, endorsed, delivered or deposited by it. The records of the Canadian Lenders and such clearing house shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusively binding on the Canadian Borrower and CMN. The Lenders shall not be liable for any claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of such drafts or Bankers’ Acceptances except for damages suffered by the Canadian Borrower or CMN caused by the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of a Canadian Lender.

 54 

 

(e)The Borrowers shall not claim any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any drafts presented and accepted as Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder.

 

(f)When the Canadian Borrower or CMN wishes to make a Borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances it shall give the Canadian Agent the notice required pursuant to Section 2.2. Bankers’ Acceptances shall have terms of at least one (1) month and not more than three (3) months excluding days of grace (and which shall, in no event, end on a date after the Final Maturity Date) or any other term subject to market availability.

 

(g)On the same day it receives such notice, the Canadian Agent shall notify by telephone or in writing all the Canadian Lenders of the details of the proposed issue, specifying, for each Canadian Lender:

 

(i)the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender; and

 

(ii)the term of such Bankers’ Acceptances.

 

(h)Whenever the Canadian Borrower or CMN requests a borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing any B/As, make a Loan (a “BA Equivalent Loan”) to the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as the case may be, in the amount and for the same term as each draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender will provide to the Canadian Agent the amount of Available Proceeds of such BA Equivalent Loan for the account of the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as the case may be, in the same manner as such Lender would have provided the Available Proceeds in respect of the B/As which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such BA Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant period (it being the intention of the parties that each such BA Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the relevant Lenders and the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as the case may be, as the B/A that such BA Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such BA Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such BA Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the discounted portion of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Agreement, on the B/A Maturity Date for such BA Equivalent Loan, the Canadian Borrower and CMN shall be entitled to convert each such BA Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such BA Equivalent Loan into another BA Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Non BA Lender may, at its discretion, request in writing to the Canadian Administration Agent and the Canadian Borrower that BA Equivalent Loans made by it shall be evidenced by Discount Notes.

 

(i)For greater certainty, all provisions of this Agreement that are applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall also be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to BA Equivalent Loans, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all references to principal amounts or any repayment or prepayment of any Loans that are applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall be deemed to refer to the full face amount thereof in the case of B/As and to the principal amount of any portion thereof consisting of BA Equivalent Loans. “Bankers’ Acceptances” includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances (including the provisions of Section 2.6(d) relating to their execution by the Canadian Lenders under power of attorney) shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:
 55 

 

(i)the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the B/A Maturity Date for B/As accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing date in respect of the same borrowing;

 

(ii)an Acceptance Fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of a B/A; and

 

(iii)the BA Discount Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the BA Discount Rate applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Canadian Lender that is not a Schedule I Lender in accordance with the definition of “BA Discount Rate” on the same Borrowing date or date of continuation or Conversion, as the case may be, in respect of the same borrowing for the relevant period.

 

(j)The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that (i) the B/A Maturity Dates, with respect to Existing B/As, remain un-amended under this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding that each Lender’s Commitment under the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may not equal its Commitment under this Agreement, each Lender’s pro rata share of Existing B/As under the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall remain identical to such pro rata share until the B/A Maturity Dates with respect to such Existing B/As expire.

 

(k)The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that (i) the Euribor Interest Period with respect to existing Euribor Loans remains unamended under this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding that each Lender’s Commitment under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may not equal its Commitment under this Agreement, each Lender’s pro rata share of existing Euribor Loans under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall remain identical to such pro rata share until the expiry of the Euribor Interest Period with respect to such Euribor Loans.

 

2.7Acceptance Date Procedure

 

On the Acceptance Date, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)At or about 10:00 a.m. on the Acceptance Date, the Canadian Agent shall promptly determine the BA Discount Rate.

 

(b)Forthwith that same day, the Canadian Agent shall advise each Canadian Lender of:

 

(i)the BA Discount Rate;

 

(ii)the amount of the Acceptance Fee applicable to those Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by such Canadian Lender on such Acceptance Date, such Canadian Lender being authorized by the Canadian Borrower and CMN to collect such Acceptance Fee out of the Net Proceeds of those Bankers’ Acceptances mentioned in subsection (iii);

 

(iii)the Net Proceeds of those Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender on such Acceptance Date; and

 

(iv)the amount obtained (the “Available Proceeds”) by subtracting the Acceptance Fee mentioned in subsection (ii) from the Net Proceeds mentioned in subsection (iii).
 56 

 

(c)Not later than 12:00 noon that same day, each Canadian Lender shall make available to the Canadian Agent its Available Proceeds.

 

(d)That same day, the Canadian Agent shall transfer all such Available Proceeds so made available to it to the Canadian Borrower or CMN in accordance with Section 10.3 and shall notify the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as the case may be, on such day either by telephone (to be confirmed subsequently by letter) of the details of the issue, substantially in the form set out in Schedule “F”.

 

2.8Purchase of Bankers’ Acceptances

 

Before giving value to the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as the case may be, the Canadian Lenders shall, on the Acceptance Date, accept the Bankers’ Acceptances, by inserting the appropriate Principal Amount, Acceptance Date and maturity date thereof in accordance with the notice relating thereto and affixing the acceptance stamps thereto, and shall purchase same. The Principal Amount so accepted and purchased by any such Canadian Lender shall not exceed such Canadian Lender’s unutilized Commitment.

 

2.9Payment of Bankers’ Acceptances

 

The Bankers’ Acceptances shall be payable in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(a)Each of the Canadian Borrower and CMN shall pay to the Canadian Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances on their respective B/A Maturity Dates.

(i)such B/A Maturity Date shall be considered to be the Drawdown Date of such Canadian Prime Rate Loan;

 

(ii)the proceeds of such Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall be used to pay the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances due on such B/A Maturity Date; and

 

(iii)on such B/A Maturity Date, each Canadian Lender, instead of making its Participation in such Canadian Prime Rate Loan available to the Canadian Agent, shall first directly apply its Participation in such Canadian Prime Rate Loan in payment of its Participation in the Principal Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptances accepted, purchased and issued by such Canadian Lender and due on such B/A Maturity Date.

On any Acceptance Date, Drawdown Date or Repayment Date, the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent. the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to set-off and net amounts payable on such date by the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, to a Lender for the account of any Borrower against amounts payable on such date by such Lender to the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, in connection with transactions conducted in the same basis of borrowing, for the account of such Borrower. Similarly, on any Acceptance Date, Drawdown Date or Repayment Date, each Lender shall be entitled to set-off and to net amounts payable on such date by such Lender to a Borrower (by payment to the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be), against amounts payable on such date by such Borrower to such Lender, in accordance with the Canadian Agent’s, the U.S. Agent’s, the European Agent’s or the Australian Agent’s, as the case may be, calculations. All amounts received by a Lender pursuant to its exercise of set-off or netting pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be shared rateably with the other Lenders.

(b)

 

(i)In the event that an Issuing Bank is called upon by a beneficiary to honour a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower. Unless such Borrower has made other arrangements with the Issuing Bank with respect to payment to the Issuing Bank of an amount sufficient to permit the Issuing Bank to discharge its obligations under the Letter of Credit plus that amount equal to any and all charges and expenses which the Issuing Bank may pay or incur relative to such Letter of Credit, any such payment so payable:

None of the Agents, the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their related parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

 

(c)Any Issuing Bank shall notify the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, of each issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit two (2) Business Days prior to the day upon which such issuance or amendment occurs and the Issuing Bank shall provide the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, and to the Administration Agent in all circumstances, with monthly reports setting out the face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding on each day of the preceding month.

The Borrowers hereby irrevocably agree not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Borrowers as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

 

4.13CDOR Discontinuation

 

(a)If the Administration Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or the Majority Lenders notify the Administration Agent that the Borrowers or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined that:

 

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining CDOR Rate, including because the Refinitiv Screen CDOR Page is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

 

(ii)the administrator of the CDOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans;
 77 

 

(iii)a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administration Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR Rate shall no longer be permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans (each such specific date in clause (ii) above and in this clause (iii) a “CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

 

(iv)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 4.13, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the CDOR Rate,

 

then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administration Agent or receipt by the Administration Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administration Agent and the Borrowers may mutually agree upon a successor rate to the CDOR Rate, and the Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the CDOR Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein ), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Canadian Dollars denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “CDOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed CDOR Successor Rate conforming changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administration Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders do not accept such amendment.

 

(b)If no CDOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause 4.13(a)(i) above exist or a CDOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administration Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans, or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, a Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, Conversion to or rollover of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, (to the extent of the affected Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans, or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance of Canadian Prime Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (a)) in the amount specified therein.

 

(c)Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the CDOR Successor Rate (exclusive of any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such CDOR Successor Rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the CDOR Rate shall not be included or referenced in the definition of Canadian Prime Rate.

 

4.14Sustainability Adjustments

 

(a)If the Canadian Borrower has delivered to the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administration Agent:

 

(A)the 2021 Baseline Report pursuant to Section 8.2(h)(iv) and the 2021 Baseline Report verifies the Baseline Sustainability Levels set out in Schedule “M” as at the date of this Agreement:

 

(I)the Sustainability Structuring Agent will promptly notify the Lenders;

 

(II)the SPT Metric Effective Date will occur (without further action by any party) on the date on which the 2021 Baseline Report was delivered; and
 78

(1)notify Canadian Borrower of the Sustainability Structuring Agent’s approval of the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal and deliver the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal to the Lenders, requesting the approval of the Majority Lenders of the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal by no later than the Business Day prior to the last date on which the first Sustainability Certificate may be delivered hereunder (for the purposes of this Section 4.14(a), the “Response Date”); or

 

(2)notify the Canadian Borrower of the Sustainability Structuring Agent’s disapproval of the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal, in which case Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall use reasonable endeavours to agree to revisions to the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal and, if such revisions are agreed within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal, the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall deliver the revised SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal to the Lenders, requesting the approval of the Majority Lenders of SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal by no later than the Response Date,

 

(II)each Lender may accept or reject an SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal in its discretion, acting reasonably, and any Lender that does not approve an SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal by the Response Date will be deemed to have rejected that SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal. If the Majority Lenders:

 

(1)approve an SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal in accordance with subparagraph (I) above, the Sustainability Structuring Agent will promptly notify Canadian Borrower and: (x) the SPT Metric Effective Date will occur on the Response Date; (y) the parties agree to make such amendments to this Agreement (including any amendments to, or replacement of, Schedule “M”) as are contemplated by the SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal (and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended as such upon approval by the Majority Lenders); and (z) paragraphs (b) to (g) of this Section 4.14 (and the other provisions of this Agreement the effectiveness of which is conditional on the occurrence of the SPT Metric Effective Date) will apply;

 

(2)do not approve an SPT Metric Adjustment Proposal in accordance with paragraph (A) above by the Response Date, the SPT Metric Effective Date will not occur.

 79 

 

(b)Subject to Section 4.14(a), the Applicable Margin will be increased or decreased (if applicable) by the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment as in effect from time to time. For the purposes of the foregoing, commencing with the Sustainability Certificate to be delivered for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2022:

 

(i)the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be effective on the earlier of the third Business Day following receipt by the Administration Agent of a Sustainability Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 8.2(h)(iv) or, if the Borrower does not deliver a Sustainability Certificate as contemplated by Section 8.2(h)(iv), the third Business Day following the last day on which the Sustainability Certificate was required to be delivered (such day, the “Sustainability Margin Adjustment Date”);

 

(ii)the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be based upon the SPT Metrics set forth in the Sustainability Certificate and the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment calculations therein; and

 

(iii)each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Sustainability Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on, and including, the applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Margin Adjustment Date.

 

(c)If, for any reason (subject to the below), the Canadian Borrower fails to deliver a Sustainability Certificate as contemplated by Section 8.2(h)(iv), the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on:

 

(i)SPT Metric Level III for the GHG Emission Intensity SPT Metric for the Fiscal Year ending on December 31, 2022; and

 

(ii)SPT Metric Level V for the GHG Emission Intensity SPT Metric for the Fiscal Years ending on December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026;

 

(iii)SPT Metric Level III for the Percentage of Women in Management Roles SPT Metric; and

 

(iv)SPT Metric Level III for the Percentage of WELL Certified Properties SPT Metric,

 

until the delivery of such Sustainability Certificate; provided that if the Canadian Borrower determines, in good faith, that it is not possible to calculate a SPT Metric for any Fiscal Year for whatever reason (the “Unused SPT Metric”), the Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent will negotiate to agree on the selection of an alternative measure that is customarily applied by persons carrying out similar businesses or being subject to similar incentives in lieu of the Unused SPT Metric (the “Alternative SPT Metric”) and after twenty (20) Business Days from the day on which the Canadian Borrower was originally due to deliver a Sustainability Certificate in accordance with 8.2(h)(iv) (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Administration Agent):

 

(x)if the Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent agree on the selection of an Alternative SPT Metric and such Alternative SPT Metric is approved by the Majority Lenders (with each Lender acting reasonably in considering such approval), the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on the Alternative SPT Metric and the SPT Metrics, excluding the Unused SPT Metric;
 80 

 

(y)if the Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent do not agree on the selection of an Alternative SPT Metric or such Alternative SPT Metric is not approved by the Majority Lenders (with each Lender acting reasonably in considering such approval), the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on the SPT Metrics, excluding the Unused SPT Metric; and

 

(z)the Canadian Borrower shall deliver a Sustainability Certificate containing the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment calculated on the basis of either (x) or (y) above.

 

(d)If (i) the Canadian Borrower or the Administration Agent becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the SPT Metrics as reported on the applicable Sustainability Certificate, or (ii) the Canadian Borrower and the Administration Agent agree that the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or SPT Metrics as calculated by the Canadian Borrower at the time of delivery of the relevant Sustainability Certificate was inaccurate and, in each case, (x) a proper calculation of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the SPT Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin for such period, the Canadian Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administration Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period, or (y) a proper calculation of the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the SPT Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin for such period, the Canadian Borrower shall receive a credit against subsequent interest payable on Loans or fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period.

 

(e)Within sixty (60) Business Days of the SBTi’s notice to the Canadian Borrower confirming its validation of the Science-based Target, the Canadian Borrower shall notify the Sustainability Structuring Agent in writing (an “SBTi Validation Notice”).

 

(i)If the SBTi-Approved Targets constitute a material increase or decrease from the GHG Emission Intensity SPT Metric, the Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “SBT Amendment”) solely for the purpose of updating the GHG Emission Intensity SPT Metrics into this Agreement, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administration Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Canadian Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administration Agent (who shall promptly notify the Canadian Borrower) written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such SBT Amendment (with each Lender acting reasonably in considering such request). In the event that Majority Lenders deliver a written notice objecting to any such SBT Amendment, the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment based on the SPT Metrics set herein shall continue to apply.

 

(ii)Until the delivery of such SBTi Validation Notice; the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall continue to be based on the SPT Metrics set out herein.
 81 

 

(f)The Canadian Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to the Sustainability Structuring Agent of the occurrence of any of the following events (each such event, a “Recalculation Event”):

 

(i)in the event of any Acquisition, disposition, merger or similar transaction or series of related transactions consummated by the Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries where as a result of the consummation of the applicable transaction or series of transactions, (i) the aggregate amount of Scope 1 Emissions and Scope 2 Emissions in connection with the applicable transaction or series of transactions, would reasonably be expected to increase or decrease the Scope 1 Emissions and Scope 2 Emissions immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction by at least 5.00% (such calculations to be determined in good faith by Canadian Borrower), (ii) the aggregate number of Management Roles in connection with the applicable transaction or series of transactions, would reasonably be expected to increase or decrease the Management Roles immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction by at least 5.00% (such calculations to be determined in good faith by Canadian Borrower), or (iii) the aggregate amount of Sustainability Eligible Locations in connection with the applicable transaction or series of transactions, would reasonably be expected to increase or decrease the Sustainability Eligible Locations immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction by at least 5.00% (such calculations to be determined in good faith by Canadian Borrower); or

 

(ii)a material update to the WELL Health Safety Rating methodology that impacts the Canadian Borrower’s ability to obtain or maintain certifications,

 

and in each such Recalculation Event, if (A) the Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (with the consent of the Majority Lenders) agree on the selection of an Alternative SPT Metric, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on such Alternative SPT Metric and the unaffected SPT Metric(s); or (B) the Canadian Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent do not agree on the selection of any such Alternative SPT Metric or the Majority Lenders do not consent to the Alternative SPT Metric, then the Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be calculated based on the SPT Metrics (including any Alternative SPT Metric agreed in paragraph (a) above), excluding the SPT Metric upon which no agreement for an Alternative SPT Metric was reached.

 

(g)It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Agents, including for avoidance of doubt the Sustainability Structuring Agent, make no assurances as to (i) whether this Agreement meets any criteria or expectations of any Borrower or any Lender with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, or (ii) whether the characteristics of the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators included in the Agreement, including any environmental and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology with respect thereto, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities. It is further understood and agreed that neither the Agents, including for avoidance of doubt the Sustainability Structuring Agent, shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Canadian Borrower of (x) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (y) any Applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Sustainability Certificate (and the Agents may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment). BMO Capital Markets, in its capacity as Sustainability Structuring Agent, shall have the same immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Agents and Lenders in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Article 6
– PREPAYMENT, CANCELLATION,
REALLOCATION, MANDATORY APPLICATION OF CASH PROCEEDS

 

6.1Prepayment and Cancellation

 

(a)The Borrowers may at any time prepay (including the pledging and depositing of cash collateral required hereunder, as applicable), in whole or in part, Borrowings outstanding under the Facilities and thereby reduce or cancel, as the case may be, corresponding Commitments by the amount of such prepayment upon giving the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent and/or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, and to the Administration Agent in all cases, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, in the case of the Canadian Facilities and the U.S. Facilities, in minimum amounts of U.S.$10,000,000 and multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 thereafter, in the case of the UK Revolving Facility, the Colliers EMEA Revolving Facility and the Australian Facilities, in minimum amounts of U.S.$5,000,000 and multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 thereafter. Any such prepayment of Borrowings outstanding under the Facilities shall be applied against reductions of Commitments and related repayment instalments required to be made under Section 3.17 or 3.18 in inverse order of maturity.

 

For greater certainty repayments made under a Revolving Facility or a Swingline Facility pursuant to Section 2.2 do not constitute prepayments under this Section 6.1.

 

(b)The Borrowers may, at any time, reduce or cancel any unused portion of the Commitments, provided that to the extent any such reduction shall cause any Borrowings outstanding to exceed the Commitments so reduced or cancelled such Borrowers shall prepay any such excess in accordance with paragraph (a) above.
 85 

 

(c)Any prepayment and reduction or cancellation relating to Bankers’ Acceptances, SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, Euribor Loans or Australian Bank Bill Rate Loans shall be made subject to the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 7.4 and 7.5(c).

 

(d)Any such prepayment and reduction shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Participations.

 

(e)At no time may a Borrower cancel all the Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments if other Commitments are outstanding and have not been cancelled.

 

6.2Notice

 

Each notice of prepayment and reduction or cancellation given pursuant to this Article shall be in the form of Schedule “B”, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date upon which such prepayment and reduction or cancellation is to be made. A Borrower may not thereafter give a notice of prepayment and reduction or cancellation of such part of the Facilities for a date other than the date so specified in any previous such notice.

 

6.3Status of Lender

 

If, at any time:

 

(a)the Commitment of any Lender is, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, permanently reduced to zero;

 

(b)all indebtedness owed to such Lender by the Borrowers hereunder or in connection herewith has been finally and indefeasibly satisfied in full; and

 

(c)such Lender is under no further actual or contingent obligation hereunder;

 

then such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and a Lender for the purposes hereof; provided however that all indemnities and provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of such Lender shall survive termination for the benefit of such Lender.

 

6.4Fees

 

Upon cancellation of the Facilities in accordance with this Article 6, all accrued and unpaid fees for the Facilities as provided shall be paid in full on and to such cancellation date.

 

6.5Mandatory Application of Cash Proceeds

 

Each Borrower shall apply 100% of the net cash proceeds which are derived from the sale or disposition of assets by it or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Entities), other than in the ordinary course of business, towards repayment of the Principal Amount of Borrowings outstanding from time to time under the Facilities, except to the extent (a) that such net proceeds are reinvested within 12 months of receipt thereof (unless such time period is extended with the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders), in the businesses of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or (b) that such net proceeds are less than U.S.$20,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement. Any such prepayment shall constitute a permanent reduction of availability under the Facilities. In the event that all or any part of such net proceeds are in excess of the amount required to prepay the outstanding indebtedness under the Facilities at such time, (the “Excess Proceeds”) the availability under the Facilities shall be permanently reduced by the amount of such prepayment plus by the amount of the Excess Proceeds.

 86 

 

6.6Reallocation

 

The Canadian Borrower may, no more than four (4) times per annum and with 30 days prior written notice, require that the Administration Agent reallocate, amongst the U.S. Lenders, Canadian Lenders, UK Lenders and the Colliers EMEA Lenders, the Total Canadian Commitments, the Total U.S. Commitments, the Total UK Commitments and the Total Colliers EMEA Commitments as directed by the Canadian Borrower, provided, however, that any such reallocation shall not result in the aggregate of the Total UK Commitments and the Total Colliers EMEA Commitments exceeding $600,000,000 at any time. Application of such request shall be subject to there being no outstanding Advances under each Facility in excess of the modified Commitment for such Facility. Any increase in one Facility must have a corresponding decrease in other Facilities. Following an increase in a Facility and a corresponding reduction in another, the Administration Agent shall make such changes as are necessary to the applicable Schedules “I” hereto to reflect such changes to the Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should there be an increase in a Facility, the Borrowers shall attempt to ensure that the effective date of any such increase shall be the maturity date of all SOFR Interest Periods, SONIA Interest Periods or Euribor Interest Periods, as applicable, and Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable.

 

If the effective date for such increase is not on a maturity date of all such SOFR Interest Periods, SONIA Interest Periods or Euribor Interest Periods, as applicable, or Bankers’ Acceptances, the Borrowers agree that the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to terminate any outstanding SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, Euribor Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances necessary to ensure that Lenders will have Advances outstanding in respect of the Facilities, as applicable, based on their Participation. Each Borrower agrees that it shall be bound by the indemnification provisions of Section 7.4 with respect to all breakage costs incurred by an Agent or any Lender with respect to the termination of any existing SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, Euribor Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances for such purposes.

7.1Benchmark Replacement Setting

 

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.

 

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 7.1(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 7.1, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 7.1.
 87 

 

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its discretion, acting reasonably, or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

 

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for an advance of the applicable Loans, Conversion to or continuation of the applicable Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or Conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of U.S. Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of U.S. Base Rate.

 

(f)If the Canadian Agent (on instruction from any Lender) determines in good faith, which determination will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers, and so notifies the Canadian Borrower, that there does not exist at the applicable time a normal market in Canada for the purchase and sale of Bankers Acceptances, any right of the Canadian Borrower to require the Lenders to purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and Discount Notes under this Agreement will be suspended until the Canadian Agent determines that such market does exist and gives notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and any Drawdown Notice or Conversion Notice requesting Bankers’ Acceptances will be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice or Conversion Notice requesting a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in a similar aggregate principal amount.

 

(g)Australian Provisions.

 

(i)Australian Bank Bill Rate. If the Australian Agent (on instruction from any Lender) determines in good faith, which determination will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers, and so notifies the Canadian Borrower and the Australian Borrower, that there does not exist at the applicable time a normal market in which deposits are not being offered to Persons in Australia with respect to the Australian Bank Bill Rate and adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Australian Bank Bill Rate, any right of the Australian Borrower to require the Lenders to purchase Australian Bank Bill Rate Loans under this Agreement will be suspended until the Australian Agent determines that such market does exist and gives notice thereof to the Australian Borrower and any Drawdown Notice or Conversion notice requesting Australian Bank Bill Rate Loans will be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice or Conversion Notice requesting an Australian Base Rate Loan in a similar aggregate principal amount.
 88 

 

(ii)Unavailability of AUD Screen Rate. If no AUD Screen Rate is available for the Australian Bank Bill Rate for the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period of an Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan, the applicable Australian Bank Bill Rate shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period of the Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan, except where the Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan is in Australian dollars and the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period is less than the shortest period published for the Australian Bank Bill Rate, in which case it will be the Australian Bank Bill Rate for the shortest period published for the Australian Bank Bill Rate.

 

(iii)Reference Bank Rate. If no AUD Screen Rate is available for the Australian Bank Bill Rate for the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period of an Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate or other rate under Section 7.1(g)(ii) above, the applicable Australian Bank Bill Rate shall be the Reference Bank Rate as of 11:00am Sydney time for the currency of that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan and for a period equal in length to the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period of that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan.

 

(iv)Cost of Funds. If Section 7.1(g)(ii) above applies but no Reference Bank is available for the relevant currency or Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period, the Australian Bank Bill Rate for that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan will be the rate of interest notified to the Australian Agent by the Australian Lender to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the Australian Lender of funding its participation in that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. That rate is to be notified as soon as practicable and in any event within 10 Business Days of the first day of that Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period. If this paragraph 7.1(g)(iv) applies, the Australian Agent and the Australian Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be binding on all parties.

 

(v)Definitions. As used in this Section 7.1(g), the following terms have the following meanings:

 

(A)"Interpolated Screen Rate" means, in relation to any Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan, the rate (rounded to the same number of decimal places as the two relevant AUD Screen Rates) which results from interpolating on a linear basis between:

 

(i)the applicable AUD Screen Rate for the longest period (for which that AUD Screen Rate is available) which is less than the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period of that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan; and

 

(ii)the applicable AUD Screen Rate for the shortest period (for which that AUD Screen Rate is available) which exceeds the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period of that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan,

 89 

 

each as of 11:00am (Sydney, Australia time) for the currency of that Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan.

 

(B)"Prime Bank" means a bank determined by ASX Benchmarks Pty Limited (or any other person which takes over the administration of the AUD Screen Rate) as being a Prime Bank or an acceptor or issuer of bills of exchange or negotiable certificates of deposit for the purposes of calculating the AUD Screen Rate. If ASX Benchmarks Pty Limited or such other person ceases to make such determination, the Prime Banks shall be the Prime Banks last so appointed.

 

(C)Reference Bank Rate” means the sum of:

 

(1)the following rates:

 

1)the arithmetic mean of the rates (rounded upwards to four decimal places) as supplied to the Australian Agent at its request by the Reference Banks as the mid discount rate (expressed as a yield percent to maturity) observed by the relevant Reference Bank for marketable parcels of Australian dollar denominated bank accepted bills and negotiable certificates of deposit accepted or issued by Prime Banks, and which mature on the last day of the relevant period; or

 

2)(if there is no observable market rate for marketable parcels of Prime Bank Australian dollar securities referred to in paragraph (A) above), the arithmetic mean of the rates (rounded upwards to four decimal places) as supplied to the Australian Agent at its request by the Reference Banks as the rate at which the relevant Reference Bank could borrow funds in Australian dollars in the Australian interbank market for the relevant period were it to do so by asking for and then accepting interbank offers for deposits in reasonable market sizes and for that period; and

 

(2)0.05 per cent per annum.

 

(D)Reference Banks” means the principal office in Sydney of HSBC Bank Australia or such other entities as may be appointed by the Australian Agent in consultation with the Australian Borrower.

 

7.2Increased Cost

 

If the introduction of, or any change in, Applicable Law, regulation, treaty or official directive or regulatory requirement now or hereafter in effect (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any judicial or Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or if compliance by a Lender with any request from any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other regulatory authority (other than a change in the relative credit rating or borrowing ability of a Lender) (whether or not having the force of law):

 90 

 

(a)subjects any Lender to any Tax, or changes the basis of taxation of payments due to such Lender or increases any existing Tax, on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by a Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement (in each case, except for Taxes on the net income or capital of such Lender or where such Tax relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party), or

 

(b)imposes on any Lender any other condition with respect to this Agreement (except for Taxes on the net income or capital of such Lender or where such Tax relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party),

 

and the result of Sections 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) is to increase the cost to any Lender or to reduce the income receivable by such Lender in respect of an Advance by any amount, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, for the account of any such Lender, that amount which compensates such Lender for such additional cost or reduction in income (“Additional Compensation”) arising and calculated as and from a date which shall not be earlier than the 30th day preceding the date the applicable Borrower receives the notice referred to in the following sentence. Upon any Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation, it shall promptly notify the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, and such Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower. A certificate by any manager of such Lender setting forth the amount of the Additional Compensation and the basis for it shall be submitted by such Lender to such Agent and forwarded by such Agent, to the applicable Borrower and, absent manifest error, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Additional Compensation and the applicable Agent shall debit, from the applicable Borrower’s accounts, the amount stipulated as Additional Compensation in such certificate in accordance with Section 10.8.

 

As regards SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans or Euribor Loans to Canadian Borrower, CMN and U.S. Borrower and Australian Bank Bill Rate Loans only, if an Agent notifies a Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.2, such Borrower shall have the right, upon written irrevocable notice to that effect delivered to such Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the end of such SOFR Interest Period, SONIA Interest Period or Euribor Interest Period, as applicable, or Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period, as applicable, to repay or convert such Lender’s Participation in any such SOFR Loan, SONIA Loan or Euribor Loan, as applicable, or Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan in full, together with payment of accrued interest and the Additional Compensation to the date of payment, to (a) in the case of the U.S.$, to U.S. Base Rate Loans or U.S. Prime Rate Loans, as the case may be, or (b) in the case of Australian Dollars, to Australian Base Rate Loans.

 

7.3Illegality

 

If the introduction of or change to any present or future Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Loan or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such Loan as contemplated hereby, such Lender may, by notice to the Borrowers and to the Agents, declare that its obligations hereunder in respect of such Loan shall be terminated, and thereupon the applicable Borrower shall prepay to the applicable Agent on behalf of such Lender within the time required by such Applicable Law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender in its discretion has agreed) all of the Obligations in respect of such Loan including all amounts payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 7.4. If there are any types of Loans hereunder that are not so affected, the applicable Borrower may convert the Loans which are affected into one of the types of Loans that are not affected. Any prepayment under this Section 7.3 shall not reduce any Lender’s Commitment.

 

7.4Indemnity

 

If a Borrower fails to borrow, convert or prepay after giving notice to an Agent, or prepays or converts, whether pursuant to Section 6.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.5 or otherwise repays pursuant to Section 6.5, a SOFR Loan, a SONIA Loan, a Euribor Loan a Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan or a Banker’s Acceptance on a day other than the last day of a SOFR Interest Period, SONIA Interest Period or Euribor Interest Period, as applicable, or the Australian Bank Bill Rate Interest Period or BA Maturity Date, as applicable, such Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss, cost or expense (except that in the case of prepayment or conversion pursuant to Section 7.3, such loss, cost or expense shall be restricted to actual costs incurred by the Lenders) incurred in maintaining or redeploying deposits obtained by the Lenders to fund such SOFR Loan, SONIA Loan, Euribor Loan, Australian Bank Bill Rate Loan or Banker’s Acceptance. The provisions of Section 11.1(d) shall apply to such indemnification mutatis mutandis.

 91 

 

7.5Other Increased Costs or Reductions in Return

 

(a)If, with respect to any accommodation of any kind or nature provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, whether by way of Bankers’ Acceptances or otherwise (each accommodation being in this Section 7.5 referred to as an “Accommodation”) and as a result of the introduction of or any change in any law, regulation, rule or order or in its interpretation or administration or by reason of any compliance with any guideline, request or requirement from any fiscal, monetary or other authority (other than a change in the relative credit rating or borrowing ability of a Lender with respect to such Accommodation) (whether or not having the force of law) which it is customary for a bank or other lending institutions to comply with in respect of all its loans or facilities of similar type in Canada, the U.S., the UK, the Netherlands or Australia, as the case may be, in relation to Facilities made available to the Borrowers:

 

(i)any Lender incurs a cost (which it would not otherwise have incurred) or becomes liable to make a payment (calculated with reference to the Borrowings outstanding under an Accommodation) with respect to continuing to provide or maintain an Accommodation (other than Taxes imposed on the net income or capital of such Lender);

 

(ii)any reserve, special deposit, capital or similar requirement is imposed or increased with respect to an Accommodation increasing the cost thereof to any Lender; or

 

(iii)any Lender suffers a reduction in its effective return on the Effective Date, on the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (as determined by such Lender after taking into account any reduction in the rate of return (before Tax) on its overall capital arising as a consequence of compliance with any such guideline, request or requirement as aforesaid);

 

then the Borrowers shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, pay to such Lender such amount (the “Additional Other Compensation”) as will compensate the Lender for and will indemnify the Lender against such increase in costs or reduction of rate of return with respect to the Facilities (arising and calculated as and from a date which shall not be earlier than the 30th day preceding the date a Borrower receives notice from the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.5(b) below).

 

(b)The Lender shall, forthwith, after incurring a cost as set out in Section 7.5(a)(i), suffering an increase in cost as set out in Section 7.5(a)(ii) or suffering a reduction in its effective return as set out in Section 7.5(a)(iii) (each being in this Section referred to as an “Event”) entitling the Lender to the payment of Additional Other Compensation and the Lender determining to claim such Additional Other Compensation, shall give notice to the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, of the Additional Other Compensation claimed with details of the Event giving rise thereto and such Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the applicable Borrower. Such Lender shall at that time or within 20 days thereafter provide to such Agent a certificate setting out in reasonable detail a compilation of the Additional Other Compensation claimed (and where appropriate the Lender’s reasonable allocation to a Facility of Additional Other Compensation with respect to the aggregate of such similar facilities granted by the Lender affected by such Event) or, if the Lender is then unable to determine the Additional Other Compensation or the method of compilation thereof, an estimate of such Additional Other Compensation and/or the method or the basis on which the Lender estimates the calculation will be made which estimate will be confirmed or adjusted by the aforesaid certificate. Such Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such certificate to the applicable Borrower. The certificate of the Lender with respect to the Additional Other Compensation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the amount payable. The Borrower shall, within 60 days of receipt of such notice from the Lender, pay to such Agent, for the account of the Lender, the Additional Other Compensation (or the estimated Additional Other Compensation) claimed but if the Additional Other Compensation claimed and paid is greater or lesser than the Additional Other Compensation as finally determined, the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the amount required to adjust the payment to the Additional Other Compensation required to be paid. The obligation to pay such Additional Other Compensation for subsequent periods will continue, subject as herein provided, until the earlier of the termination of the Accommodation affected by the Event referred to in the notice given by the Lender to such Agent or the lapse or cessation of the Event giving rise to the Additional Other Compensation.
 92 

 

(c)Within 120 days of receipt of the above mentioned notice from such Agent, the Borrower may notify such Agent that it elects to repay or cancel, as the case may be, an Accommodation with respect to which Additional Other Compensation is claimed, or such Lender’s Participation therein, and, if such election to repay or cancel is made, the Borrower shall 45 days after the giving of the notice of election to repay or cancel to such Agent (for distribution to the Lenders or to such Lender, as the case may be) such Accommodation or Participation, as the case may be, pay or cancel the same, together with payment of accrued interest, if any, and the Additional Other Compensation (or the estimated Additional Other Compensation) applicable thereto calculated to the date of such repayment or cancellation. If any such repayment constitutes a prepayment of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as applicable, shall deposit with the Canadian Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders involved) an amount equal to the face amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances then outstanding which are to be prepaid (the “Prepaid Bankers’ Acceptances”). The Canadian Agent shall, upon maturity of the Prepaid Bankers’ Acceptances, apply the sum so deposited against payment of the Prepaid Bankers’ Acceptances and remit to the Canadian Borrower or CMN, as applicable, the interest earned on the sum deposited.

 

(d)For greater certainty, the costs referred to in Section 7.5(a) which may be included in Additional Other Compensation shall not include costs (i) which have already been factored into the Canadian Prime Rate, the U.S. Base Rate, the U.S. Prime Rate or the Australian Base Rate, as the case may be or (ii) which are attributable to staff time and related administrative costs incurred in the preparation and submission of compliance reports.

 

7.6Additional Cost in Respect of Tax; UK and Australian Tax Matters

 

(a)Each payment to be made by a Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder or in connection herewith to any other party hereto shall be made free and clear of and without a Tax Deduction (except for Taxes on the net income or capital of a Lender or Taxes resulting from such Lender changing its residency for Tax purposes) unless a Borrower or such Guarantor is required to make such a Tax Deduction payment, in which case such Borrower or such Guarantor in respect of which such Tax Deduction is required to be made shall pay an additional amount to ensure that, after the making of such Tax Deduction, such other party hereto receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such Tax Deduction) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such Tax Deduction withholding been made or required to be made.
 93 

 

(b)If any Lender or any Agent, on behalf of such Lender or on its own behalf, is required by law to make any payment on account of Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income or capital of such Lender or Agent or Taxes resulting from such Lender or Agent changing its residency for tax purposes or where such Tax relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party) on or in relation to any sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) hereunder by such Lender or such Agent, or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against such Lender or such Agent, the applicable Borrower and the Guarantors, as applicable will, upon demand of such Lender or Agent, promptly indemnify such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith. If a Lender or Agent has paid over on account of Tax (other than Taxes excepted above) an amount paid to such Lender or Agent by a Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing indemnification and the amount so paid over is subsequently refunded to such Lender or Agent, in whole or in part, such Lender shall promptly remit such amount refunded to such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be.

 

(c)The provisions of this Section 7.6(c) shall apply (and the provisions of Sections 7.6(a) and (b) shall not apply) to any advance under any Loan Document to the Dutch Borrower on the payment of any amount of interest by the Dutch Borrower (the Dutch Borrower being a “Relevant Borrower” for the purposes of this Section (c)) to any Lender.

 

(i)Tax Indemnity.

 

(A)The Relevant Borrower shall (within ten (10) Business Days of demand by the European Agent) pay to a Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Taxes by that Lender in respect of a Loan Document.

 

(B)Clause (i)(A) above shall not apply:

 

(1)with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

 

1)under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

 

2)under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

 

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by, or on the capital of, such Lender;

 

(2)to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Section (c),

 

(3)to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party, or

 

(4)to a Tax payment required to be made because a Lender or Agent has changed its jurisdiction of residence or its lending office for Tax purposes.
 94 

 

(C)A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 7.6(c)(i)(A) above shall promptly notify European Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which European Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

 

(D)A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 7.6(c), notify European Agent.

 

(ii)Tax Credit. If a Relevant Borrower makes a Tax payment pursuant to Section 7.6(c)(i)(A) and the relevant Lender:

 

(A)obtains a Tax Credit that is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax payment forms part, or to that Tax payment; and

 

(B)receives an actual refund of Tax,

 

the Lender shall promptly following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Relevant Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax payment not been required to be made by the Relevant Borrower.

 

(iii)Value Added Tax.

 

(A)All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (B) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

 

(B)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration),

 

(1)(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of VAT; the Recipient must (where this subsection (B)(1) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

 

(2)(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply. The Recipient must (where this subsection (B)(2) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.
 95 

 

(C)Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense incurred in connection with such Loan Document, the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

 

(D)Any reference in this Section 7.6(c) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Dutch Value Added Tax Code).

 

(E)In relation to any supply made by a Lender to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender, that party must as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such Lender with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

 

(F)Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7.6(c), a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 7.6(c) means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

 

(d)The provisions of this Section 7.6(d) shall apply (and the provisions of Sections 7.6(a) and (b) shall not apply), to any advance under any Loan Document to Colliers EMEA or the UK Borrower on the payment of any amount of interest by those Persons (each a “Relevant Borrower” for the purposes of this Section 7.6(d)) to any Lender.

(A)All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (B) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document and such Lender is required to account to the relevant Tax Authority for VAT, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

 

(B)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration;
 102 

 

(1)(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of VAT. The Recipient must (where this subsection (B)(1) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

 

(2)(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply. The Recipient must (where this subsection (B)(2) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

 

(C)Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense in connection with such Loan Document, the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

 

(D)Any reference in this Section 7.6(d)(viii) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994).

 

(E)In relation to any supply made by a Lender to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender, that party must as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such Lender with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.6(d), a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with Tax provisions contained in Section 7.6(d) means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

 

(e)The provisions of this Section 7.6(e) shall apply (and the provisions of Sections 7.6(a) and (b) shall not apply), to any advance under any Loan Document to any Australian Borrower on the payment of any amount of interest by those Persons (each a “Relevant Borrower” for purposes of this Section 7.6(e)) to any Lender.

4)to a Tax payment required to be made because a Lender or Agent has changed its jurisdiction of residence or its lending office for Tax purposes.

(iv)Tax Credit. If a Relevant Borrower makes a Tax payment pursuant to Section 7.6(e)(iii)(A) and the relevant Lender:

 

(A)obtains a Tax Credit that is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

 

(B)receives, utilizes or retains that Tax Credit,

 

the Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Relevant Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax payment not been required to be made by the Relevant Borrower.

 105 

 

(v)Australian Lender’s Status. Each Australian Lender certifies to the Agent and the Relevant Borrowers (on the date hereof or, in the case of an Australian Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to a transfer or assignment, on the date on which the relevant transfer or assignment becomes effective) that it is a Qualifying Lender and each Australian Lender shall promptly notify the Agent if there is any change in its position from that set out above. Upon receipt of any such notification from an Australian Lender, the Agent shall promptly notify the Relevant Borrowers thereof. If any Australian Lender is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender or does not comply with or perform the formalities required to be a Qualifying Lender (except by reason of any Change in Tax Law after the date the Australian Lender becomes a party to this agreement) the Relevant Borrower shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 7.6(e) to pay with respect to the Australian Lender any amount greater than the amount which the Relevant Borrower would have been liable to pay pursuant to this Section 7.6(e) with respect to that Australian Lender if that Australian Lender had been, or had not ceased to be on that date, a Qualifying Lender and had complied with or had performed the formalities required to be a Qualifying Lender.

 

(vi)Double Taxation Relief. If, and to the extent that, the effect of Section 7.6(e)(ii) (Tax Gross-up) or Section 7.6(e)(iii) (Tax Indemnity) can be mitigated by virtue of the provisions of any applicable double taxation agreement or any applicable tax law (whether by a claim to repayment of any taxes referred to in Section 7.6(e)(ii) (Tax Gross-up) or Section 7.6(e)(iii) (Tax Indemnity) or otherwise) the relevant Australian Lender shall co-operate with the Relevant Borrower with a view to ensuring the application of such double taxation agreement or applicable tax law so far as relevant.

 

(vii)Notification of Requirement to Deduct Tax. If, at any time, a Relevant Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated), such Relevant Borrower shall promptly notify Agent.

 

(viii)Evidence of Payment of Tax. If a Relevant Borrower makes any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in respect of which it is required to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under Applicable Law and shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to the Agent on behalf of the Australian Lenders to which such payment was made evidence of payment as is reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

 

(ix)Goods and Services Tax.

 

(A)All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a taxable supply or taxable supplies for GST purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of GST and the party liable to make that payment shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the GST payable on that supply, subject to receiving a valid tax invoice from the supplier of that supply.
 106 

 

(B)Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit that the Lender (or representative member of the GST Group of which the Lender is a member) is entitled to.

Such Agent shall promptly deliver to the applicable Borrower a copy of such certificate.

 

7.8Tax Receipts

 

If at any time a Borrower is required by law to make any Tax Deductions from any sum payable by it hereunder or in connection herewith (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated) such Borrower shall promptly notify the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, thereof.

 

If a Borrower makes any payment hereunder or in connection herewith in respect of which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding it shall pay the full amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under Applicable Law and shall deliver to such Agent within 30 days after it has made such payment to the applicable authority:

(d)If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. As such, the Borrower will make a FATCA Deduction as appropriate and will be reimbursed by the applicable Lender for any penalties resulting from the fault of the applicable Lender.

(b)For any period with respect to which a U.S. Lender has failed to provide the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Agent with the appropriate form referred to in Section 7.11(a) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring after the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.6 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Lender, that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(i)incurred by or asserted against any Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank or any Related Party of an Agent or a Lender (each an “Indemnified Party”) by any third party arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any of the other documents related or ancillary thereto or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder and including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party as the result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory brought by a third party at any time or brought by a Borrower or a Guarantor or any Related Party of a Borrower or a Guarantor;

 

(ii)which any Agent or Lender sustains or incurs (including, without limitation, any loss of profit or expenses any Lender incurs by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to maintain Borrowings or any interest or other charges payable by such Lender to other lenders of funds borrowed in order to make, to fund or to maintain the Loans or to maintain any amount in default) as a consequence of (I) any prepayment (it being understood that the mandatory repayments to be made pursuant to Section 3.1 do not constitute prepayments), (II) any acceleration of the payment of Borrowings pursuant to Section 9.1 or 16.8 or (III) any default by a Borrower under any of the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, a failure to borrow on a Drawdown Date or to issue Bankers’ Acceptances on an Acceptance Date, a failure to pay interest on, or principal amounts of, the Loans on the dates due, the failure to make a payment on the specified date or the failure to make a payment in accordance with this Agreement or any misrepresentation by a Borrower contained in or delivered in writing in connection with this Agreement; and

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 

The certificate of an officer or manager of any Agent or any such Lender setting forth the amount of any such losses, damages, expenses and liabilities shall constitute, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of any such amount and any Agent shall debit, from any Borrower’s accounts, the amount stipulated in the certificate in accordance with Section 10.8.

(a)Subject to the limitations in this Section 11.3, the Borrowers agree to and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses of any and every nature and kind whatsoever which at any time or from time to time may be paid by or incurred by them (without duplication and net of Tax Recoveries by any of the Indemnified Parties) for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of the disposal, refining, generation, manufacture, production, storage, handling, presence, treatment, transfer, release, processing or transportation of any Hazardous Material in, on or under any property of whatsoever nature or kind of a Borrower, or any Subsidiary thereof, or the discharge, emission, spill or disposal from such property into or upon any land, the atmosphere or any watercourse, body of water or wetland of any Hazardous Material where it has been proven that the source of the Hazardous Material is the said property to the extent that such losses, damages, costs and expenses arise out of the relationship between the Indemnified Parties and a Borrower reflected herein including, without limitation:

 

(i)the cost of defending and/or counterclaiming or claiming over against third parties in respect of any action or matter referred to above;

 

(ii)any cost, liability or damage arising out of any settlement of any action referred to above to which any Indemnified Party is a party; and

 

(iii)costs of any cleanup in connection with any matter referred to above.
 138 

 

(b)In the event that any claim, action, order, suit or proceeding, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any inquiry or investigation (whether formal or informal) is brought or instituted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall promptly retain counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties to represent the Indemnified Parties in such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding and the Borrowers shall pay all of the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel relating to such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding.

 

(c)In any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding, the Indemnified Parties shall have the rights to retain other counsel to act on their behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such other counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Parties unless: (i) the Borrowers and the Indemnified Parties shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such other counsel; or (ii) the named parties to any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding (including any added, third or impleaded parties) include the Borrowers and the Indemnified Parties and representation of all such parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

 

(d)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.3, none of the Indemnified Parties shall agree to any settlement of any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding unless the Borrowers shall have consented in writing thereto, and the Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding unless they have consented in writing thereto. The Borrowers shall be entitled to settle any such claim, action, order, suit or proceeding on any terms it deems appropriate.

 

(e)The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Final Maturity Date and the repayment of all Borrowings hereunder and the satisfaction by the Borrowers of all other obligations hereunder.

 

(f)For the purposes of this Section 11.3, “Tax Recoveries” of any Person in respect of a payment or outlay made or incurred by such Person means the Taxes that would be saved or recovered by such Person and the creation or increase of a loss or credit for Tax purposes which may be used to reduce Taxes payable by such Person.

 142 

 

13.6Termination or Resignation of Agent

 

(a)Notwithstanding the appointment of an Agent, the Majority Lenders may (with the consent of the Canadian Borrower prior to an Event of Default and without requiring such consent after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing; such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), upon giving an Agent 90 days prior written notice to such effect, terminate an Agent’s appointment hereunder.

 

(b)An Agent may resign its appointment hereunder at any time without assigning any reason therefor by giving written notice to such effect to each of the other parties hereto.

 

(c)In the event of any such termination or resignation, the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent (with the consent of the Canadian Borrower prior to an Event of Default and without requiring such consent after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Administration Agent, the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, (if it is the Agent being replaced) shall deliver copies of the Accounts to such successor and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation hereunder but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Article 13 and the Agent’s successor and each of the other parties hereto shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor originally had been a party hereto as an Agent.

 

(d)An Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above if on or after the date which is three (3) months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Loan Documents, either:

and (in each case) a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if that Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Lender, by notice to that Agent, requires it to resign.

 

13.7Rights of an Agent as Lender

 

With respect to its Commitment and its Participation, and to Bankers’ Acceptances and Letters of Credit, an Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any Bankers’ Acceptances as any other Lender, and it may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it as an Agent hereunder, and the term “Lender” or any other similar term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include any Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

 144 

 

13.9Financial Information Concerning the Borrowers or Guarantors

 

Subject to Section 13.3(a), no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers or Guarantors.

 

13.10Knowledge of Financial Situation of Borrowers

 

Each of the Lenders represents and warrants to the Agents that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and each Guarantor in connection with the making and continuation of its Participation in this Agreement and that it has not relied on any information provided to it by any Agent in connection herewith or therewith, and each represents and warrants to the Agents that it shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the Guarantors from time to time.

 

13.11Legal Proceedings

 

No Agent shall be obligated to take any legal proceedings against a Borrower or any other Person for the recovery of any amount due under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or under any Bankers’ Acceptances. No Lender shall bring legal proceedings against a Borrower, any Guarantor or Subsidiary hereunder or in connection herewith, or exercise any right arising hereunder or in connection herewith over the property and assets of a Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary, without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders.

 

13.12Capacity as Agent

 

In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, each Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Lenders and shall not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation as agent or trustee for a Borrower or any other Person. No Agent shall be under any liability or responsibility of any kind to the Borrowers, the Lenders or to any other Person arising out of or in relation to any failure or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or Lenders or, as the case may be, by the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other Person (other than such Agent in respect of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct) pursuant to or in any way in connection with this Agreement or in connection with any other Loan Document.

 

13.13Deposits or Loans Respecting the Borrowers

 

Each Agent and each of the Lenders may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with the Borrowers or the Guarantors without liability to account to any Agent or any Lender.

 

13.14Separate Administration Agent

 

It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If an Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, such Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent. If an Agent so appoints a collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The Lenders, Agents and Issuing Banks shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent until appointment of a new agent.

 145 

 

13.15Agent Titles

 

Each Lender, other than Bank of Montreal that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of Montreal as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

 

13.16Parallel Debt Obligations

 

In order to ensure the continuing validity of the Continuing Guarantees governed German law (a) each Borrower and each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (that undertaking in respect of any amount, a “Parallel Debt Obligation” and in respect of all of them, the “Parallel Debt Obligations”) to pay to the European Agent an amount equal to and in the same currency as all amounts from time to time due and payable by such Borrower or Guarantor to the Lenders under the Loan Documents (the obligations to the Lenders in respect of any amount and a certain currency, an “Original Obligation” and such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations to the Lenders in respect of all of them, the “Original Obligations”); (b) the Parallel Debt Obligations shall be separate from and independent of the Original Obligations, so that the European Agent or Administration Agent will have an independent right to demand performance of any Parallel Debt Obligation; (b) the Parallel Debt Obligations shall be owed to the European Agent in its own name and any Continuing Guarantee governed by German law shall also be expanded to secure the Parallel Debt Obligations; (c) the Lenders, the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the European Agent acknowledge that the European Agent acts in its own name and not as an agent or representative of the Lenders; (d) other than as set out in Section 13.16(f), the Parallel Debt Obligations shall not limit or affect the existence of the Original Obligations, for which the Lenders shall have an independent right to demand performance (to the extent permitted by this Agreement); (e) payment by the Borrowers and Guarantors of any Parallel Debt Obligation shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Original Obligation owing to the Lenders and payment by the Borrowers and Guarantors of any Original Obligations to the Lenders shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Parallel Debt Obligation owing by it to the European Agent; and (f) without limiting or affecting the European Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights under any Continuing Guarantee governed by German law, the European Agent and Administration Agent undertake to the Lenders not to exercise its rights in respect of any Parallel Debt Obligation without the consent of the Administration Agent. Notwithstanding clause (f) above, no Borrower or Guarantor may pay any Parallel Debt Obligation other than at the instruction of, and in the manner determined by, the European Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parallel Debt Obligations will become due and payable (opeisbaar) at the same time as the corresponding Original Obligations.

 

13.17Erroneous Payments.

 

(a)       If the Administration Agent notifies a Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank such Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender or Issuing Bank or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administration Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administration Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administration Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administration Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administration Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administration Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administration Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administration Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 146 

 

(b)       Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank such Lender or Issuing Bank, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administration Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administration Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administration Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

 

(i)       (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administration Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

 

(ii)       such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administration Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administration Agent pursuant to this Section 13.17(b).

 

(c)       Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administration Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administration Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

 

(d)       In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administration Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administration Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administration Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administration Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administration Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver a Transfer Certificate (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating a Transfer Certificate by reference pursuant to an electronic platform as to which the Administration Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver any notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administration Agent, (ii) the Administration Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administration Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank and (iv) the Administration Agent may reflect in the register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administration Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administration Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administration Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administration Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administration Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

 147 

 

(e)       The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administration Agent from the Borrowers or any other Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

 

(f)       To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administration Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

 

(g)       Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 13.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administration Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

 

Article 14
– ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS

 

14.1Benefit of Agreement

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns.

 148 

 

14.2Assignments and Transfers by a Borrower or a Guarantor

 

No Borrower nor Guarantor shall be entitled to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder.

 

14.3Assignments and Transfers by a Lender

 

(a)Subject to Section 14.4, any Lender may, at its cost, assign or transfer:

 

(i)to an affiliate of such Lender at any time; and

 

(ii)with:

 

(A)the consent of the Canadian Agent with respect to a Canadian Lender, the U.S. Agent with respect to a U.S. Lender, the European Agent with respect to the UK Lender or Colliers EMEA Lender, the Australian Agent with respect to an Australian Lender and the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

 

(B)(unless there exists an Event of Default) the consent of the Canadian Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)

 

and upon such terms and conditions as such Lender shall determine, all or any portion of its rights, benefits and/or obligations hereunder in relation to a portion of such Lender’s Commitment of not less than, with respect to the Canadian Facilities, U.S.$2,500,000, with respect to the U.S. Facilities, U.S.$2,500,000, with respect to the UK Revolving Facility, U.S.$2,000,000, with respect to the Colliers EMEA Revolving Facility, U.S.$2,500,000 and with respect to the Australian Facilities, U.S.$2,500,000, to an assignee or a transferee which in the case of assignments by a Canadian Lender is hereinafter referenced to as a “Canadian Assignee” and in the case of assignments by a U.S. Lender, is a Person which can comply with the provisions of Section 7.11(a) of this Agreement and provides evidence thereof satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower acting reasonably and is in the business of making loans a “U.S. Assignee”, in the case of assignments by a UK Lender is hereinafter referenced to as a “UK Assignee”, in the case of assignments by a Colliers EMEA Lender, is hereinafter referenced to as a “Colliers EMEA Assignee” and in the case of assignments by an Australian Lender, is hereinafter referenced to as an “Australian Assignee”; provided that in the case of any assignment or transfer by a Lender there is a corresponding assignment or transfer by its related Lender under each of the Facilities (which may, in certain circumstances, be the same institution) to related assignees under each Facility (which may, in certain circumstances, be the same institution) of an amount which bears the same proportion to the related Lender’s Commitment as the amount assigned or transferred by the original assigning Lender bears to its Commitment. As an example, in the case of an assignment or transfer by a Canadian Lender there shall be a corresponding assignment or transfer by the related U.S. Lender, UK Lender, Colliers EMEA Lender and Australian Lender, as applicable, (which may, in certain circumstances, be the same institution) to a U.S. Assignee, UK Assignee, Colliers EMEA Assignee and Australian Assignee, as applicable, related to the Canadian Assignee (which may, in certain circumstances, be the same institution) of an amount which bears the same proportion to the related U.S. Lender’s Commitment, UK Lender’s Commitment, Colliers EMEA Lender’s Commitment and Australian Lender’s Commitment, as applicable, as the amount assigned or transferred by the Canadian Lender bears to the Canada Lender’s Commitment.

 149 

 

(b)Where obligations of any Lender are so assigned or transferred, the assignee or transferee shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders and the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent and the Australian Agent, as applicable, as the case may be, prior to such assignment or transfer taking effect, that it shall be bound towards the Borrowers and the Agents by the terms hereof relating to such obligations. On the assignment and transfer being made and such written confirmation, as aforesaid, being delivered to the Borrowers and such Agent and Issuing Bank and Swingline Lenders, such Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to the extent of such assignment or transfer thereof and such assignee or transferee shall become a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the related documents and transactions provided herein or contemplated thereby to the extent of such assigned or transferred interest on the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders and the Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as applicable, of the confirmation of assignment.

 

(c)If:

 

(i)a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with Section 14.3(a) of this Agreement or changes its Lending Office; and

 

(ii)as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment transfer or change occurs, a Relevant Borrower would be obliged to make a payment or an increased payment to the relevant assignee, transferee or Lender acting through its new Lending Office under Section 7 of this Agreement,

 

then the relevant assignee, transferee or Lender acting through its new Lending Office is only entitled to receive payment under that Section to the same extent as the existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

 

(d)In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the assignee (permitted above) or Defaulting Lender to the Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as the Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Participation of all Loans and Letter of Credit obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

 

(e)If a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Majority Lenders consented, or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent or Canadian Borrower may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more eligible assignees, identified in Section 14.3, pursuant to appropriate documentation, within 20 days after the notice. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such documentation if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents at par, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).
 150 

 

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no assignment may be made to a Borrower, any Affiliate of a Borrower, natural persons (or holding companies, investment vehicles, or trusts for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, natural persons).

 

14.4Transfer Certificate

 

If any Lender wishes to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 14.3, then such assignment or transfer shall be effected by the delivery by such Lender to the Administration Agent, Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent, the Australian Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lenders and the Borrowers of a duly completed and executed Transfer Certificate whereupon, to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Lenders party thereto seeks to assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder:

 

(a)the applicable Borrower(s) and such Lender shall each be released from further obligations to the other hereunder, and their respective rights against each other shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Section 14.4 as “discharged rights and obligations”);

 

(b)the applicable Borrower(s) and the Transferee party thereto shall each assume obligations towards and acquire rights in respect of each other which differ from the discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the obligations so assumed and the rights so acquired by the Borrowers are owed to and constituted by claims against such Transferee and not such Lender, so that the Borrowers and the Transferee shall have the same rights and obligations towards each other which they would have acquired had the Transferee been an original party hereto; and

 

(c)the Agents, the Transferee and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the Transferee been an original party hereto with the obligations assumed and the rights acquired by it as a result of such assignment or transfer.

 

14.5Notice

 

The Canadian Agent, the U.S. Agent, the European Agent or the Australian Agent, as the case may be, shall notify promptly the appropriate parties hereto of the receipt by it of any Transfer Certificate, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Transfer Certificate to the Borrowers.

 

14.6Sub-Participations

 

Any Lender may, at its own cost, grant one or more sub-participations in all or any portion of its rights, benefits and/or obligations hereunder to third parties, without the consent of the Borrowers, and upon such terms and conditions as such Lender shall determine, provided that, notwithstanding any such sub-participation, such Lender shall remain, in so far as the other parties hereto are concerned, entitled to its rights and benefits hereunder and bound by its obligations hereunder and the Borrowers, the other Lenders and the Agents shall not be obliged to recognize any such third party as having the rights against any of them which it would have if it had been a party hereto, and provided further that in the case of any sub-participation by a Lender to a participant, there shall be a corresponding sub-participation by its related Lender under each of the Facilities (which may, in certain circumstances be the same institution) to a related participant under each of the Facilities related to the original participant of an amount which has the same proportion to the related Lender’s Commitment as the amount sub-participated by the original participating Lender has to the related Lender’s Commitment. For greater certainty, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay, in respect of any rights, benefits and/or obligations in which a Lender has granted one or more such sub-participations, to such Lender or to any sub-participant thereof any amount(s) pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement which is (are) greater than the amount(s), if any, which the Borrowers would otherwise have been obligated to pay in respect of such rights, benefits and/or obligations to such Lender, had such sub-participation(s) not been granted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no participation may be made to a Borrower, any Affiliate of a Borrower, natural persons (or holding companies, investment vehicles, or trusts for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, natural persons), or Defaulting Lenders.

 151 

 

Each Lender who has granted a participation to a Participant shall not be required to obtain the consent of such Participant to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Final Maturity Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor.

 

14.7Disclosure

 

Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrowers and each Guarantor to disclose to any proposed assignee, Transferee or sub-participant information in such Lender’s possession relating to the Borrowers and each Guarantor provided that such proposed assignee, transferee or sub-participant shall have executed and delivered to such Lender a written undertaking to keep confidential any such information which is not publicly available.

 

14.8Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, without seeking or obtaining the consent of any party, any U.S. Lender may at any time assign and transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory notes issued to such U.S. Lender hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in the United States. No such assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 

14.9Assignment of Swingline Loans and Commitments

 

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, the Canadian Borrower, in consultation with The Toronto-Dominion Bank, in its capacity as a Canadian Swingline A Lender, shall on a date that is not later than six (6) months from the date of this Agreement, deliver to the Administration Agent a written notice (the “Swingline Lender Change Notice”) confirming that as of such date The Toronto-Dominion Bank, in its capacity as Canadian Swingline A Lender, ceases to be a Canadian Swingline Lender.

 

(b)Following the delivery of the Swingline Lender Change Notice, the Canadian Swingline A Lender Commitment shall be automatically reallocated to the Canadian Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

 

15.2Courts

 

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against a Borrower or Guarantor may be brought in the courts of the Province of Ontario, which courts the parties hereto acknowledge irrevocably to be a convenient forum for the resolution of any such legal action or proceeding. Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby accepts, for itself and in respect of its assets and revenues, generally and unconditionally the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

 152 

 

Each Guarantor not domiciled and/or resident in Canada hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Canadian Borrower (the “Process Agent”) at its registered office from time to time and of which the Administration Agent shall have been notified, which office is currently located at 100 King Street West, 5th Floor, First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1H3, as the authorized agent of each of the non-Canadian Borrowers and each such Guarantor upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Continuing Guarantee or other Loan Document relating hereto or thereto which may be instituted in the Province of Ontario and agrees that service of process on the Process Agent together with written notice of such service to such non-Canadian Borrower or such Guarantor by the Person serving the same shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed in every respect to be effective service of process on such non-Canadian Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the address noted on the execution pages hereof, process may be served on a Borrower at its registered office. However, nothing in this Section 15.2 shall affect the right of any Agent or Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any Agent or Lender to bring any action or proceeding against a Borrower or Guarantor or their properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction including, without limitation the State of New York, London, England, Amsterdam, Netherlands or New South Wales, Australia.

 

15.3Judgment Currency

 

(a)If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, a Lender could purchase, in the Toronto foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date such Lender receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the Toronto foreign exchange market the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify such Lender against such loss.

 

(b)The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 15.3 means the spot rate at which the Lender in accordance with normal practices is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

(b)under Hedging Agreements (i) for so long as such Lender remains a Lender hereunder or (ii) in respect of a Lender who is no longer a Lender hereunder, provided that such Hedging Agreement was entered into with such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) when such Lender was a Lender hereunder,

 

are Obligations and shall be guaranteed by the Continuing Guarantee and shall be recoverable by the Agents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Continuing Guarantee and the Loan Documents and all such obligations shall rank equally without preference or distinction with the indebtedness of a Borrower towards any Lender hereunder (including Banking Services) or under any Hedging Agreements.

 

16.2Sharing of Information

 

Each Borrower and each Guarantor agree that the Agents and the Lenders may share amongst themselves any information which any of them may possess concerning any Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, in respect of a Borrower’s or a Guarantor’s undertakings, obligations or indebtedness towards any Lender pursuant to this Agreement as well as any payment received from a Borrower or a Guarantor by any Lender pursuant to this Agreement.

16.4Remedies and Waivers

 

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agents or the Lenders or any of them, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

16.5Direct Obligation

 

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Borrowers shall be obligated directly towards the Agents and each of the Lenders in respect of the Participation of each of the Lenders which are made available to such Borrower as well as any other amounts which may be payable by the Borrowers pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowings. The obligations of each of the Lenders are independent from one another, are not joint and several, and may not be increased, reduced, extinguished or otherwise affected due to the default of another Lender pursuant hereto.

16.8Calculation/Limit on Rate of Interest

 

(a)for purposes of this agreement whenever interest is to be paid on a basis of a year of less than a calendar year (the “calculation period”) the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent, is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the calculation period.

 

(b)Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be obliged to make any payments of interest or other amounts payable to a Lender hereunder in excess of the amount or rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in the receipt by a Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada) or other Applicable Law).

 

(c)In the event that any such payments are limited or prohibited as provided in Section 16.8(a), the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make any Borrowings available hereunder and the entire amount of Borrowings then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable.

 

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
 155

Each Lender, as applicable, hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name of each Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower and Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act, and the Borrowers agree to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

 

16.10Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

 

(a)Each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrowers and Guarantors and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrowers and Guarantors, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

 

(b)If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower and Guarantor or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers and Guarantors for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

 

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

 

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

 

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that neither the Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers and Guarantors or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers and Guarantors on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Borrower and Guarantor or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

 156

16.12Australian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

 

(a)An Australian Lender may delay, block or refuse to process any payment or other transaction without incurring any liability if the Australian Lender knows or reasonably suspects that the transaction or the application of its proceeds will:

 

(i)breach, or cause a Australian Lender to breach, any Applicable Laws or regulations of any jurisdiction (including any sanctions); or

 

(ii)allow the imposition of any penalty on the Australian Lender or its Affiliates under any such law or regulation,

 

including where the transaction or the application of its proceeds involves any entity or activity the subject of any applicable sanctions of any jurisdiction binding on the Australian Lender or its Affiliate, or the direct or indirect proceeds of unlawful activity.

 

(b)As soon as practicable after an Australian Lender becomes aware that it will delay, block or refuse to process a transaction under paragraph (a), it will notify the Australian Borrower and the Australian Agent and consult in good faith but in each case only to the extent the Australian Lender determines it is legally permitted to do so. In making that determination the Australian Lender shall act reasonably.

 

(c)The Australian Borrower shall promptly advise the Australian Agent if any Australian Borrower or Australian Guarantor enters into any Loan Document in the capacity as agent and promptly supply, or procure the supply of, such information as may be reasonably requested by the Australian Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Australian Lender) from time to time in relation to any principal for which an Australian Borrower or Australian Guarantor may be acting.

 

(d)Each Australian Borrower or Australian Guarantor undertakes to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with all applicable laws or regulations relating to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing or sanctions.

 157 

 

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

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.

 

16.15Borrower Acknowledgement

 

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

16.16Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

 

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

 

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
 158 

 

(b)As used in this Section 16.16, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

(i)BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

AND WHEREAS the undersigned Lender (the “Transferor”) wishes to assign and to transfer to l (the “Transferee”) certain of the rights, benefits and obligations of the Transferor under the Credit Agreement specified herein;

 

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Transferor and the Transferee agree as follows:

 

5All capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning as in the Credit Agreement.

 

6The Transferor with respect to the [Canadian Facility] [U.S. Facility] [UK Facility] [Colliers EMEA Facility] [Australian Facility] U.S.$l being the Equivalent Amount of the principal amount of outstanding Borrowings made by such Lender as of the date hereof, assigns and transfers to the Transferee U.S.$l and thereby transferring such portion of the rights, benefits and obligations of the Transferor in respect of the principal amount of the Transferor’s Commitment (collectively the “Transferred Rights, Benefits and Obligations”).

 

7The Transferee, upon payment of the agreed amount therefor to the Transferor in immediately available funds as such parties shall have agreed, accepts the transfer of the Transferred Rights, Benefits and Obligations (the “Transfer”) and accepts and assumes the Transferred Rights, Benefits and Obligations (the “Assumption”).

 

8Upon the effectiveness of such Transfer, the Transferor’s Participation shall be U.S.$l and the Transferee’s Participation shall be U.S.$l.

 

9The Transfer and the Assumption are governed by and subject to Sections 14.3 and 14.4 of the Credit Agreement.

All representations, warranties and conditions express or implied by law or otherwise are hereby excluded. Such sale, transfer and assignment is without recourse to the Transferor.

 

 

11The Transferee represents and warrants that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of an investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness, affairs, status and nature of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and has not relied and will not hereafter rely on the Transferor to appraise or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, affairs, status or nature of the Borrowers or the Guarantors.

 

12Each of the Transferor and the Transferee represents and warrants to the other, that it has the capacity and power to enter into the Transfer and the Assumption in accordance with the terms hereof and to perform its obligations arising therefrom, and all action required to authorize the execution and delivery hereof and the performance of such obligations has been duly taken.

 

13The Transferee will execute and deliver to the Agent a joinder, or other writing acceptable to Agent, to the Allocation and Exchange Mechanism Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date, among Agent and Lenders establishing a mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder.

(a)[a Qualifying Lender (other than a treaty lender);]

 

(b)[a Treaty Lender;]

 

(c)[not a Qualifying Lender]2.

 

15[The Transferee confirms that the person beneficially entitled to interest payable to that Lender in respect of an advance under a Loan Document is either:

(b)a partnership, each member of which is:

 

(i)a company so resident in the United Kingdom; or

(c)a company not so resident in the United Kingdom which carries on a trade in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment and which brings into account interest payable in respect of that advance in computing the chargeable profits (within the meaning of section 19 of the CTA) of that company.]3

 

16[The Transferee confirms that it holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme (reference number [l]) and is tax resident in [l]4, so that interest payable to it by Relevant Borrowers (as defined by Section 7.6(d)) is generally subject to full exemption from UK withholding tax, and requests that the [Agent] notify:

(a)the Relevant Borrowers as at the Transfer Date; and

 

(b)that it wishes that scheme to apply to the Agreement.]5

 

17Each of the Transferor and Transferee hereby agree that the Transfer and Assumption, in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be effected and effective five (5) Business Days from the date hereof.

 

18This Transfer Certificate may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES

 

[REDACTED]

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

Colliers International Mortgage Corporation, predecessor to Colliers Macaulay Nicolls Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), is a party to six mortgage loan purchase agreements (each an “MLPA” and collectively the “MLPAs”) dating from 2006 and 2007 in respect of commercial mortgage backed securitization transactions as described in numbers 1 through 6 of the above chart (each, a “Securitization Transaction”).

 

Each MLPA contains a repurchase obligation, which is standard and customary for transactions of this nature, on the part of the Subsidiary in the event of a Document Defect or Breach (each are defined terms in the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of each Securitization Transaction) relating to a mortgage loan that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders (as defined in the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement) therein or the value of the affected mortgage loan. There are cure rights of the Subsidiary in the event of a Document Defect or Breach subject to the payment of costs related thereto. The provisions relating to such cure rights and repurchase obligations of the Subsidiary are more specifically outlined in the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The repurchase obligation may extend to all of the related cross-collateralized mortgage loans.

 

Neither the Borrowers nor the Subsidiary has received any notice in respect of any Securitization Transaction of an event that would constitute a Breach or a Document Defect as described above.
