2.1
Section 10.2 of the Agreement is replaced in its entirety by the following (with bolded language intended only to highlight the additions for ease of reference):
“The Lessee shall throughout the relevant Lease Period pay or procure payment of, and without demand, the Lease Payments to the Lessor in the amounts and at the times set out in this Master Agreement and each Lease. Each Lease Period shall be a period of either five (5) years or four (4) years, as specified in the Lease Contract, from and including the Start Date and terminating either five (5) years or four (4) years, as specified in the Lease Contract, from the first (1st) day of the month immediately following the Start Date, provided that the Lease Period shall not extend beyond the Tranche A Maturity Date, the Tranche B Maturity Date or the Tranche C Maturity Date, as applicable. With the consent of the Lessee, availability under a Tranche may be terminated with the unused balance of that Tranche added to the next succeeding Tranche for all purposes thereof.
2.2
Section 10.3 of the Agreement is replaced in its entirety by the following (with bolded language intended only to highlight the additions for ease of reference):
“The Lease Payments under each Lease Contract shall be paid in either twenty (20) or sixteen (16), as specified in the Lease Contract, consecutive quarterly instalments on each Due Date together with the additional charge set forth at Section 10.4 below and all Taxes.”
2.3
The third paragraph of Section 10.4 of the Agreement is replaced in its entirety by the following (with bolded language intended only to highlight the additions for ease of reference)
“The Lessee may, twenty (20) days prior to the issue of any Utilisation Notice to the Lessor, request in writing that the Lessor furnish it with a quotation for the additional charge described in this Section 10.4 as a function not of LIBOR or the CDOR Rate but rather Lessor’s Fixed Rate. Within five (5) Business Days, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a quotation for the additional charge for the entire term of the applicable Lease Period in USD or C$, as requested by the Lessee. If Lessee accepts such quotation, its Utilisation Notice shall reflect the quotation based on the Lessor’s Fixed Rate for the Lease Period, with the Lease Payments reflecting either a five (5) or four (4) year amortization and twenty (20) or sixteen (16), as specified in the Lease Contract, equal consecutive quarterly blended payments of principal and interest. Prepayment of any Lease in which the additional amount is calculated by reference to the Lessor’s Fixed Rate shall be subject to payment of an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance under the Lease during the first (1st) year thereof, four percent (4%) thereof in the second (2nd) year, three percent (3%) in the third (3rd) year, two percent (2%) in the fourth (4th) year and, for a five (5) year term, one percent (1%) in the fifth (5th) year thereof, all as a genuine pre estimate of damages and not as a penalty.”
