SCHEDULE "A" - STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1. INTEREST RATE DEFINITIONS

 

A Term CORRA rate expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such determined rate multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by three hundred and sixty-five (365).

 

A Term SOFR rate expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such determined rate multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by three hundred and sixty (360).

 

Interest rates will never be less than zero. If Prime Rate, U.S. Prime Rate, Daily Compounded CORRA, Term CORRA, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, USBR or any other applicable base rate changes, resulting in a variable or floating annual interest rate that is a negative number, the interest rate will be 0.00%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a loan with an interest rate based on Daily

 

Compounded CORRA, Term CORRA, Daily Simple SOFR, or Term SOFR has been hedged in its entirety with an interest rate swap with the Bank (the "Swap") and the Swap does not include a negative interest rate floor, the foregoing negative interest rate floor shall not apply. However, for purposes of certainty, if the Swap is subsequently terminated or novated the restriction that interest rates shall never be less than 0.00% shall apply.

 

Any interest rate based on a period less than a year expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such determined rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in the period upon which it was based.

 

The Bank does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Term CORRA, Daily Compounded CORRA, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto, including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Term CORRA, Daily Compounded CORRA, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or any other benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Bank and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Prime Rate, U.S. Prime Rate, USBR, Term CORRA, Daily Compounded CORRA, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or any other base rate and any alternative, successor or replacement rate or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Bank may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Term CORRA, Daily Compounded CORRA Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or any other benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

 

2. INTEREST CALCULATION AND PAYMENT

 

Interest on Prime Based Loans, USBR Loans and U.S. Prime Rate Based Loans is calculated daily (including February 29 in a leap year), compounded for Prime Based Loans, and payable monthly in arrears based on the number of days the subject loan is outstanding unless otherwise provided in the Rate and Payment Terms Notice or other notice provided by the Bank to the Borrower. Interest is charged on February 29 in a leap year.

 

Interest on Daily Compounded CORRA Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans is calculated daily (including February 29 in a leap year) and payable in arrears on the interest payment dates set out in the notice delivered by the Bank to the Borrower based on the number of days the subject loan is outstanding. Interest is charged on February 29 in a leap year.

 

Interest on Term CORRA Loans and Term SOFR Loans is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of the interest period set out in the notice delivered by the Bank to the Borrower for the number of days in the Term SOFR or Term CORRA interest period, as applicable. Interest is charged on February 29 in a leap year.

 

 

 

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank, interest rate periods for Term CORRA Loans are 1 and 3 months and interest rate periods for Term SOFR Loans are 1, 3 and 6 months. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank, interest rate periods for Term CORA Loans and Term SOFR Loans must be the same as the applicable interest rate selected.

 

Interest on Fixed Rate Term Loans is compounded monthly, except for Fixed Rate Term Loans advanced under a Mortgage Loan Facility where interest is compounded semi-annually, and is payable monthly in arrears unless otherwise provided in the Rate and Payment Terms Notice.

 

Interest is payable both before and after maturity or demand, default and judgment.

 

Each payment under this Agreement shall be applied first in payment of costs and expenses, then interest and fees and the balance, if any, shall be applied in reduction of principal.

 

For loans not secured by real property, all overdue amounts of principal and interest and all amounts outstanding in excess of the Credit Limit shall bear interest from the date on which the same became due or from when the excess was incurred, as the case may be, until the date of payment or until the date the excess is repaid at the Bank's standard rate charged from time to time for overdrafts, or such lower interest rate if the Bank agrees to a lower interest rate in writing. Nothing in this clause shall be deemed to authorize the Borrower to incur loans in excess of the Credit Limit.

 

If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Bank in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Bank of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Bank of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Bank which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that each Borrower is an agent of each other Borrower and payment by any Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to be payment by the Borrower making the payment and by each other Borrower. Each payment, including interest payments, made will constitute an acknowledgment of the indebtedness and liability hereunder by each Borrower.

Any change in Daily Simple SOFR due to a change in SOFR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in SOFR without notice to the Borrower.

For each LC issued, the Borrower agrees to pay the Bank the LC issuance fees and any other applicable fees set out in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the Borrower (the "LC Fees"). An LC issuance fee expressed as a percentage is calculated on the face value of the LC and is payable in advance prior to the issuance of the LC and on the stated frequency in this Agreement thereafter from the date of issuance to the expiry date of the LC.

Until otherwise instructed by the Borrower in writing, the Bank may, at the Bank's sole discretion, extend or renew any LC in accordance with its terms without requiring a further authorization or request from the Borrower and these terms and conditions shall apply to such extension or renewal as if the same were the original LC.

The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the amount of all payments and disbursements made by the Bank under an LC in the currency of the LC, together with any accrued and unpaid LC Fees, immediately upon demand by the Bank. Any amount not paid when demanded shall result in a default under these terms and conditions and is a default under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank for any loss suffered by the Bank if the Bank is repaid for any payments or disbursements under an LC in a currency other than the currency of the LC, whether such payment is made pursuant to an order of a court or otherwise.

 

The Bank is authorized to debit any account the Borrower has with the Bank, without notice, for the amount of the LC Fees and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to the provisions of these terms and conditions even if that debiting creates an overdraft in any such account. If there are insufficient funds in the Borrower's accounts to reimburse the Bank, the Borrower shall pay interest on all overdue amounts at the All-In Rate plus 2% per annum. The debiting of an amount to the Borrower's account as provided for herein shall constitute the Bank's demand for payment of such amount unless the Bank has otherwise demanded payment in respect thereof.

 

The Borrower's obligation to reimburse the Bank under these terms and conditions is absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defence to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Bank or the beneficiary of the LC.

 

The Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower fully and unconditionally assumes all risks with respect to:

 

determining the validity of any demand or request under an LC or the right of the beneficiary to make such demand or request;

 

(b)

 

 

 

(c)

 

(d)

 

(e)

 

the authorization, execution, signature, endorsement, correctness, genuineness, legal effect or validity of certificates or other documents delivered under or in connection with an LC that appear on their face to be in order, even if such certificates or other documentation should in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged;

 

errors in transaction or errors in the interpretation of technical terms or errors in the calculation of amounts demanded under the LC;

 

any failure or inability of the Bank to make a payment under an LC as a result of any requirement of law, including without limitation any applicable sanctions laws or regulations, or by reason of any control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised by any person, asserting or exercising governmental powers; or

 

errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages by mail, electronic mail, facsimile, or otherwise or for any other consequences arising in respect of a failure by the Bank to honour an LC due to reasons beyond the control of the Bank;

 

and none of the above shall affect or impair any of the rights or powers of the Bank hereunder or the obligations of the Borrower.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that any payment made by the Bank in accordance with the terms of an LC shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Bank to the Borrower and shall not lessen the obligations of the Borrower under these terms and conditions.

 

The Borrower agrees that it will not under any circumstances, regardless of how extraordinary, unintended or unforeseen such circumstances may be, claim or insist that the Bank should refrain or should have refrained from making a payment under the LC by virtue of it being aware, actually, constructively or otherwise, of facts justifying the Bank declining to make a payment under the LC. The Borrower agrees that in all circumstances where the Borrower is of the view that a payment should not be made by the Bank under the LC, the Borrower's sole recourse shall be to obtain an order or declaration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, enjoining payment by the Bank pursuant to the LC (to the extent that such relief may be available at law), the whole at the Borrower's expense.

 

6. LC Rules

 

The Borrower and the Bank agree that each LC may be expressly made subject to or otherwise incorporate, as appropriate and as agreed by the Bank, the beneficiary and the Borrower prior to issuance of such LC: (a) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 2007 Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 ("UCP600"), (b) the International Standby Practices ("ISP98"), ICC Publication No. 590 or (c) the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, ICC Publication No. 758 ("URDG"), including any amendments thereto, as applicable (each of UCP 600, ISP98 or the URDG, as applicable, being a "Rule"). With respect to any LC, where there is an inconsistency between the Borrower's obligations under these terms and conditions and the Rule applicable to such LC, the Borrower agrees that such Rule shall prevail.

 

 

 

The Borrower also agrees that an LC may by its terms be subject (in the case of an LC subject to a Rule, however, only as to matters not otherwise covered by the applicable Rule), to the laws of Canada or to the laws of any other jurisdiction mutually acceptable to the Bank, the beneficiary of such LC and the Borrower, in each case without giving effect to the chosen jurisdiction's rules governing conflicts of laws, as well as laws, customs and regulations in force in any place of negotiation or payment of such LC. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank and save the Bank, its successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages or expenses which the Bank may suffer or incur in any manner whatsoever by reason of the application of foreign laws to an LC.

 

B. TERMS AND CONDITIONS - GTF DLCs

 

1. Issuance of GTF DLCs

 

The Borrower authorizes and requests the Bank or its representative banks or financial institutions (collectively, "Correspondents") to issue, amend, replace or modify GTF DLCs from time to time in a format that has been approved by the Bank and its Correspondents, in accordance with the request of the Borrower on behalf of the Borrower or on behalf of a third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall not be obligated to issue GTF DLCs at the request of the Borrower.

 

These terms and conditions shall apply to all GTF DLCs issued, amended, replaced or modified at the request of the Borrower, whether on behalf of the Borrower or a third party, regardless of whether the GTF DLC includes the names of both the Borrower and the third party or only includes the name of the third party.

 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each GTF DLC, and other documents delivered to the beneficiary and if they do not comply with the Borrower's instructions the Borrower will immediately notify the Bank in writing. The Borrower waives any and all claims against the Bank unless the Borrower provides the Bank with immediate written notification of non-compliance with the Borrower's instructions.

 

2. GTF DLC Fees

 

For each GTF DLC issued, the Borrower agrees to pay the Bank the issuance fees, the fees in the Global Trade Finance Fee Schedule and any other applicable fees set out in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the Borrower (collectively, the "GTF DLC Fees"). A GTF DLC issuance fee expressed as a percentage is calculated on the face value of the GTF DLC and is payable in advance prior to issuance and on a quarterly basis thereafter from the date of issuance to the expiry date of the GTF DLC unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank.

 

In the event a GTF DLC is terminated, cancelled or reduced prior to its scheduled expiry date for any reason whatsoever, except as described in Section 29(v) of Schedule A of this Agreement, no part of the GTF DLC Fees shall be refunded by the Bank.

 

3. Payment

 

The Bank will pay to the beneficiary of a GTF DLC the amount of any draft, receipt, acceptance. cable, or written demand (individually, an "Instrument") not exceeding the amount specified in the GTF DLC without regard to the correctness, validity or sufficiency of the Instrument.

 

The Borrower will pay the Bank on demand the amount of any Instrument under a GTF DLC, including all obligations imposed by foreign laws and all fees and commissions and all charges and expenses paid or incurred by the Bank in connection with the GTF DLC plus any interest, where applicable.

 

 

 

The Borrower authorizes the Bank to debit any of the Borrower's accounts with the amount of any Instrument, charges and expenses. If there are insufficient funds in the Borrower's accounts to reimburse the Bank for payment of an Instrument the Borrower shall pay interest on all overdue amounts at the Bank's overdraft rate of interest established from time to time. If the Instrument is in foreign currency, the Borrower shall pay the Bank in its local currency at the Bank's current selling rate of exchange of the foreign currency.

 

The Borrower agrees that in all circumstances where the Borrower is of the view that a payment should not be made by the Bank under the

 

GTF DLC by virtue of some impropriety by the beneficiary or its successors, assigns or others in seeking payment from the Bank under the GTF DLC, the Borrower will, at the Borrower's expense, make an application a court of appropriate jurisdiction, with appropriate notice to the Bank, for an order or declaration enjoining payment by the Bank pursuant to the GTF DLC.

 

The Borrower agrees that the Borrower will not under any circumstances, regardless of how extraordinary, unintended or unforeseen such circumstances may be, claim or insist that the Bank should refrain or should have refrained from making payment under the GTF DLC by virtue of it being aware, actually, constructively or otherwise, of facts justifying the Bank declining to make a payment under the GTF DLC.

 

4. Indemnity

 

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Bank and its Correspondents of and from and against all actions, suits, causes of actions, claims and demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses, including legal fees, of whatsoever nature which the Bank may suffer, be at, or be put to by reason or in consequence, either directly or indirectly, arising from or in connection with any GTF DLC.

 

The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Bank and its Correspondents of and from and against any and all claims and expenses, including legal fees on a solicitor and client basis, whether awarded by a court or not, incurred by the Bank in the prosecution or defence of any claim in any way related to the GTF DLC, including without limitation all claims by the Borrower and its successors and assigns.

 

The Borrower covenants, undertakes and agrees that the Borrower will, if requested by the Bank, retain necessary counsel for and fully intervene in and defend any action, lawsuit or proceeding which may be brought against the Bank with respect to the GTF DLC or any payment made or to be made thereunder.

 

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the Bank, its Correspondents and agents shall have no obligation to plead fraud or any other defence in any action, lawsuit or proceeding related to the GTF DLC that may be brought against any of them, whether or not any of them have actual or constructive knowledge of the facts to support such a pleading. The Borrower further agrees that the Bank's failure to plead fraud or any other defence shall in no way prejudice or diminish its rights to be indemnified by the Borrower.

 

5. Insurance

 

Where there exists no insurance naming a beneficiary of a GTF DLC as loss payee with respect to the performance of the underlying agreement between the Borrower and the beneficiary, at the Bank's request the Borrower will obtain insurance, with an insurance company satisfactory to the Bank, naming the Bank as loss payee.

 

6. Compliance with Laws

 

The Borrower shall comply with all domestic and foreign laws and regulations relating to the GTF DLC and the Borrower shall provide to the Bank any certificate or other document as required thereunder.

 

 

 

7. UCP Rules

 

The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 2007 Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (the "UCP 600 Rules") and amendments thereto, shall be deemed to be a part of these terms and conditions as if fully incorporated herein and shall apply to each GTF DLC. Where there is any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the UCP 600 Rules, the UCP 600 Rules shall prevail.

 

8. Documentary Letter of Credit Application Terms and Conditions

 

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that GTF DLCs are also subject to the GTF Documents, as applicable.

 

C. TERMS AND CONDITIONS - GTF SBLCs

 

The terms and conditions set out in this Schedule "B" do not apply to GTF SBLCs.

 

GTF SBLCs are subject to the terms and conditions in the GTF Documents, as applicable.
