COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
g) Debt Reserve Fund Demand Note
The City has a contingent liability with respect to the Municipal Finance Authority of BC’s (“MFA”) Debt Reserve Fund Demand Notes.
This contingent liability is a condition of the borrowings undertaken by the City through:
i) MFA Debenture Issue No. 116 April 4, 2011;
ii) MFA Debenture Issue No. 121 October 4, 2012; and
iii) MFA Debenture Issue No. 126 September 26, 2013.
As a condition for each debenture issue, the City is required to execute demand notes in connection with each debenture whereby
the City may be required to loan certain amounts to the MFA. The debt agreement with the MFA provides that if at any time the
scheduled payments provided for in the agreement are not sufficient to meet the MFA’s obligations in respect to such borrowing, the
resulting deficiency becomes the joint and severed liability of the City and all other participants to the agreement through the MFA.
The City is similarly liable on a contingent basis for the debt of other municipalities secured through the MFA.
