OFS-3.5.17

A trustee for the holders of debt securities must:

(a) Exercise reasonable diligence to ascertain whether or not the assets of the borrowing corporation and of each of its guarantor corporations which are or may be available, whether by way of collateral or security or otherwise, are sufficient or are likely to be or become sufficient to discharge the principal debt as and when it becomes due;
(b) Satisfy itself that each prospectus relating to the debt securities does not contain any matter which is inconsistent with the terms of the debt securities or with the relevant trust deed;
(c) Ensure that the borrowing corporation complies with the CBB Law, rules and regulations and any other laws, rules and regulations related to the debt securities as applicable;
(d) Exercise reasonable diligence to ascertain whether or not the borrowing corporation and each of its guarantor corporations have committed any breach of the covenants, terms and provisions of the debt securities or the trust deed;
(e) Except where it is satisfied that the breach will not materially prejudice the collateral or the security, if any, for the debt securities or the interests of the holders of the debt securities, take all steps and take all such actions as it is empowered to do to cause the borrowing corporation and any of its guarantor corporations to remedy any breach of those covenants, terms and provisions;
(f) Where the borrowing corporation or any of its guarantor corporations fails when so required by the trustee to remedy any breach of the covenants, terms and provisions of the debt securities or the trust deed, place the matter before a meeting of holders of the debt securities and submit such proposals for the protection of their interest as the trustee considers necessary or appropriate and obtain the directions of the holders in relation thereto; and
(g) Where the borrowing corporation submits to those holders a compromise or arrangement, give to them a statement explaining the effect of the compromise or arrangement and, if it or he thinks fit, recommend to them an appropriate course of action to be taken by them in relation thereto.
