THIS PROJECT AGREEMENT is made as of the 8th day of August,
2018
BETWEEN:
WEST PARK HEALTHCARE CENTRE, a non-share capital corporation
incorporated under the laws of Ontario
(the “Contracting Authority”)
AND:
ELLISDON INFRASTRUCTURE WPHC GENERAL PARTNERSHIP, [REDACTED]
(“Project Co”)
WHEREAS:
A. Contracting Authority, with the assistance of IO, wishes to
redevelop its existing hospital in Toronto, Ontario.
B. Contracting Authority provides the Hospital Services at the
Existing Facilities and will provide such services at the Facility.
Project Co will provide the Project Operations, which include the
design, construction, financing and maintenance of the Facility
(the “Project”).
C. Contracting Authority and Project Co wish to enter into this
project agreement (the “Project Agreement”), which sets out the
terms and conditions upon which Project Co shall perform the
Project Operations.
D. The overriding priorities of Contracting Authority in
entering into and implementing this Project Agreement are the
health and safety of the patients and staff of the Existing
Facilities and the Facility, the patients’ healthcare needs, and
the provision of first-rate healthcare services and Project Co
recognizes and understands that the health and safety of the
patients and staff of the Existing Facilities and the Facility are,
at all times, paramount.
E. The Project will proceed as an alternative financing and
procurement project and complies with the principles set out in
MOI’s Building a Better Tomorrow: An Infrastructure Planning,
Financing and Procurement Framework for Ontario’s Public Sector
(the “IPFP Framework”).
F. The IPFP Framework establishes 5 fundamental principles which
guide the financing and procurement of public infrastructure
projects in Ontario:
1. The public interest is paramount.
2. Value for money must be demonstrable.
3. Appropriate public control/ownership must be preserved.
4. Accountability must be maintained.

5. All processes must be fair, transparent and efficient.
G. The IPFP Framework states that, consistent with the principle
of appropriate public ownership/control, public ownership of assets
will be preserved in the hospital sector.
H. MOHLTC is responsible for the development, coordination,
maintenance, and funding of health services, including a balanced
and integrated system of hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories,
ambulances, other health facilities and providers to meet the
health needs of the people of Ontario.
I. There are a number of statutes which govern the operation and
administration of hospitals in Ontario. Under the Public Hospitals
Act (Ontario), certain actions of hospitals can only be undertaken
with the approval of the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.
Subsection 4(3) of the Public Hospitals Act (Ontario) states that
no additional building or facilities shall be added to a hospital
until the plans therefore have been approved by the Minister. Under
subsection 4(2) of the Public Hospitals Act (Ontario), no
institution, building or other premises or place shall be operated
or used for the purposes of a hospital unless the Minister has
approved the operation and or use of the premises or place for that
purpose.
J. The Minister of Health and Long-Term Care has powers to
protect the public interest regarding matters relevant to the
quality of the management and administration of a hospital, the
proper management of the health care system in general, the
availability of financial resources for the management and delivery
of health care services, the accessibility of services in the
community where the hospital is located and the quality of care and
treatment of patients.
K. Project Co recognizes and understands that Contracting
Authority is a public hospital under the Public Hospitals Act
(Ontario) and is, therefore, subject to a highly regulated legal
and operational environment.
L. With a view to ensuring that both Parties are able to
properly and effectively discharge their respective duties,
functions and responsibilities under Applicable Law, it is the
intent that Contracting Authority and Project Co work
collaboratively, responsibly and cooperatively throughout the
Project Term.
NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements of the Parties hereinafter contained and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Parties covenant and agree as
follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
1.1 Definitions and Interpretation

(b) Unless a Standby Letter of Credit is drawn by Contracting
Authority in accordance with the provisions of this Project
Agreement, Contracting Authority shall release and deliver the
Standby Letter(s) of Credit to Project Co on Financial Close.
(c) Project Co shall ensure that the Standby Letter(s) of Credit
(and any replacement therefor) is renewed prior to its expiry date
if, as at such date, Financial Close will not, or may reasonably be
expected not to, have occurred.
(d) If Project Co delivers multiple Standby Letter(s) of Credit
from multiple Letter of Credit Providers in accordance with Section
9.1(2) of the Request for Proposals, Project Co acknowledges and
agrees that:
(i) Contracting Authority may draw upon any Standby Letter of

disproportionate amount to such Letter of Credit Providers’
contribution to security;
(iii) Contracting Authority may draw upon any Standby Letter of
Credit provided by any Letter of Credit Provider even in the event
that such Letter of Credit Provider is no longer a Project Co
Party; and
(iv) the provision of multiple Standby Letters of Credit shall

Contracting Authority to draw on the Standby Letter(s) of Credit in
accordance with this Project Agreement, including in a circumstance
where the default giving rise to Contracting Authority’s right to
draw on the Standby Letter(s) of Credit is not the result of any

Letter of Credit is drawn upon.
2.3 Financial Close
(a) No later than 30 days prior to the Financial Close Target
Date, Project Co will deliver to Contracting Authority drafts of

(b) On or before the Financial Close Target Date:
(i) Project Co shall deliver to Contracting Authority the

of the documents referred to in Section 1 of Schedule 2 –
Completion Documents by the Financial Close Target Date (other than
as a direct result of a breach by Contracting Authority of its
obligations under Section 2.3(b)(ii)) and Contracting Authority
does not waive such requirement, Contracting Authority will be
entitled to draw on the Standby Letter of Credit and to retain the
proceeds thereof as liquidated damages and may terminate this
Project Agreement in its entirety by written notice having
immediate effect. The Parties agree that such liquidated damages
are not a penalty but represent a genuine and reasonable
pre-estimate of the damages
-

Confidential7
that Contracting Authority will suffer as a result of the
happening of the specified event and would be difficult or
impossible to quantify such damages upon the happening of the
specified event. Such payment shall constitute full and final
settlement of any and all damages that may be claimed by
Contracting Authority as a result of Project Co not achieving
Financial Close. The Parties agree that such liquidated damages
shall be payable whether or not Contracting Authority incurs or
mitigates its damages, and that Contracting Authority shall not
have any obligation to mitigate any such damages.
(d) If Contracting Authority fails to deliver to Project Co any
of the documents referred to in Section 2 of Schedule 2 –
Completion Documents by the Financial Close Target Date (other than
as a direct result of a breach by Project Co of its obligations
under Section 2.3(b)(i)) and Project Co does not waive such
requirement, Project Co will be entitled to the return of the
Standby Letter of Credit and to terminate this Project Agreement in
its entirety by written notice having immediate effect.
2.4 Disruption in Financial Markets
(a) If Financial Close cannot be achieved by the Financial Close
Target Date by reason solely of a Severe Market Disruption, subject
to Project Co’s obligation to renew the Standby Letter of Credit,
pursuant to Section 2.2, the Financial Close Target Date will be
extended until the date falling 10 Business Days (or such other
period as the Parties agree, acting reasonably) after the date on
which such Severe Market Disruption ceases.
(b) If a Severe Market Disruption exists, then, at any time
before such Severe Market Disruption ceases and prior to Financial
Close, Contracting Authority may in its sole discretion either:
(i) terminate this Project Agreement in its entirety by written
notice having immediate effect; or
(ii) direct Project Co to assign to IO and IO will assume:
(A) the Project Agreement, and all of Project Co’s right, title
and interest in the Project Data, the Intellectual Property Rights
and the Project Co Permits, Licences, Approvals and Agreements;
and
(B) those contracts between Project Co and any Project Co Party
which IO elects to be assigned.
(c) If Contracting Authority exercises its rights pursuant to
Section 2.4(b), and, provided Project Co has, if directed,
delivered the assignments provided for in 2.4(b)(ii)(A) and
2.4(b)(ii)(B) above, Project Co will be entitled to the return of
its Standby Letter of Credit and to payment of an amount equal to
the Design and Bid Fee pursuant to Section 10.3.2 of the Request
for Proposals plus [REDACTED] of such fee. Contracting Authority’s
obligation to return the Standby Letter of Credit and to pay such
fee shall be contingent on the receipt of a waiver, in form and
substance satisfactory to Contracting Authority, that such fee
represents full and final satisfaction of any obligation or
liability of Contracting Authority, IO and any other Government
Entity to Project Co and any Project Co Parties in connection with
the Project Agreement and the Request for Proposals.
