 (i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof or upon
receipt of a written request of the Registrar. 
 (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.6, 3.9, 4.9, 4.14 and 9.5 hereof). 
 (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole
or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (iv) All Global Notes and
Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global
Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (v) The Issuer shall
not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the
close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the
transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 
 (vi)
Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment
of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

 39 








 (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. 
 (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of
Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 Section 2.7 Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be
supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the
Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer
and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.8 Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global
Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an
Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding
unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the
principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after
that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.9 Treasury
Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver
or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated
Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
  

 40 








 Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
definitive Notes in exchange for any temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of
this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Upon the Issuer’s written request, certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be
delivered (at the expense of the Issuer) to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in
any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Issuer shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such
special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13 CUSIP/ISIN. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in
use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP/ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders, provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in CUSIP/ISIN numbers. 
 In the event that the Issuer
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Additional Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain the same CUSIP/ISIN numbers for such Additional Notes as is printed on the Notes outstanding at such
time; provided, however, that if any series of Additional Notes is determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel, to be a different class of security than the Notes outstanding at such time for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer
may obtain CUSIP/ISIN numbers for such series of Additional Notes that is different from the CUSIP/ISIN numbers printed on the Notes then outstanding. 
 ARTICLE III 
 REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.1 Notices To Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.7
hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture
pursuant to which the redemption shall

  

 41 








 
occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 
 Section 3.2 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer
to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if
the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall
be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed
or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
 Section 3.3 Notice of
Redemption. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9 and Section 4.14 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall
state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 
 (b) the redemption price; 
 (c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion
of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP/ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice
or printed on the Notes. 
  

 42 








 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice
and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.4 Effect
of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be
conditional. The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.5, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes
or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the redemption or repurchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or repurchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on
that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest
on, all Notes to be redeemed or repurchased. 
 If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and
after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related
interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or
purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such
principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. 
 Section 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 
 Section 3.7 Optional Redemption. 
 (a) At any time prior to November 15, 2013, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
 (b) On or after November 15, 2013, the Issuer
shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of

  

 43 








 
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated
below: 
  

			
	Year	 	Redemption
Price
	 2013
	 	104.118%
	 2014

	 	102.094%
	 2015 and
thereafter
	 	100.000%

 (c) At any time prior to November 15, 2012, the Issuer may, on any one or more
occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 108.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the
redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer or with the net cash
proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by Cott that are contributed to the Issuer as common equity capital; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture remain outstanding immediately
after each occurrence of such redemption; and provided further, that each such redemption shall occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 
 (d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 through 3.6 hereof. 
 Section 3.8 Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Sections 3.9, 4.9 and 4.14, the Issuer shall not be required to make
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 3.9 Offer to Purchase by Application of
Excess Proceeds. In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof, the Issuer shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that
a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall purchase the principal amount of
Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall
be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on
or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who
tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first
class mail, a written notice to the Trustee and to each of the Holders. 
 The notice shall contain all instructions and
materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 
  

 44 








 (a) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.9 and Section 4.9
hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open; 
 (b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the
Purchase Date; 
 (c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest;

 (d) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
shall cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased and may not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased; 
 (f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the
reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
 (g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral
multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and 
 (i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new
Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less
than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3.9. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the
Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Issuer shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to
such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the
Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. 
  

 45 








 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.9, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.9 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, then due. The Issuer shall pay all Liquidated Damages, if any, in the same manner on the dates and in

 The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before any interest payment date, an Officer’s Certificate
certifying as to the amount of Liquidated Damages due on such interest payment date, with a direction regarding payment of such Liquidated Damages to the Holders. If the Trustee does not receive such Officer’s Certificate five Business Days

 Section 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar). The Issuer shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.3.

so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 4.6 Restricted Payments. Cott shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the
first paragraph of Section 4.8; and 
 (iii) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all

Value of any property, received by Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott since the Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of Cott (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or
sale of Disqualified Stock or debt securities of Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Cott (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock
or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of Cott); plus 
 (C) with respect to Investments (other than Permitted
Investments) made after the Issue Date, the net reduction in Investments in any Person resulting from dividends, repayments, or other transfers of assets from such Person to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott with respect to such
Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any); plus 
 (D) to the extent that an entity in which
Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott has made an Investment using amounts under this clause (iii) thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, the Fair Market Value of Cott’s Investment in such entity as of the date it becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary of Cott; plus 
 (E) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Cott is
redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott after the date of the indenture, the Fair Market Value of Cott’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation. 
 So long as no Default or Event of Default (except with respect to clauses (2), (5), (7), (10) and (11) below) has occurred and is
continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions shall not prohibit: 
 (1) the payment of any
dividend within 90 days after the date of declaration of the dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of Cott, the
Issuer or any other Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of Cott in exchange for, or out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of Cott) of, Equity Interests of Cott (other than Disqualified Stock);
provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph; 
  

 49 








 (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of
subordinated Indebtedness of Cott, the Issuer or any other Guarantor with the Net Cash Proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 
 (4) the payment of any dividend or other distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis with respect to the class of Equity Interests on which
the dividend or distribution is being made; 
 (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement
for value of any Equity Interests of Cott or any Subsidiary held by any member of Cott’s (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’) management or Board of Directors pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement or
similar agreement or program or other employee benefit plan; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $3.5 million in any calendar year (with unused
amounts in any calendar year being carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum of $5.0 million in any calendar year); 
 (6) the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that (x) the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior to such designation consists
only of operations in the United Kingdom, (y) the total assets of such Restricted Subsidiary less all liabilities of such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities for which Cott, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott will be
liable immediately after such designation) is less than 15% of Cott’s total consolidated assets less total consolidated liabilities (on the most recently available quarterly or annual consolidated balance sheet of Cott prepared in conformity
with GAAP); provided further, that the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary may exceed 15% of Cott’s net assets to the extent that Cott would be permitted to make a Restricted Payment in an amount equal to such excess and
(z) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such designation, Cott could incur at least $1 of additional Indebtedness under the first paragraph under Section 4.8 as if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio were 2.75 to 1; 
 (7) the conversion of any Preferred Stock of Cott into common Equity Interests of Cott; 
 (8) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the date of the indenture not to exceed $20.0 million;

 (9) the distribution of shares of an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Cott; provided that the Investments in
such Unrestricted Subsidiary being distributed pursuant to this clause (9) were Restricted Payments that reduced the amounts available pursuant to clause (d)(iii) of this Section 4.6; 
 (10) the declaration and payments of dividends on Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.8 to the extent such
dividends constitute Fixed Charges; and 
 (11) the purchase or redemption at any time of the Issuer’s
existing 8.0% senior subordinated notes due 2011. 
 The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair
Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. If the Fair Market Value of any
assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.6 exceeds $20.0

  

 50 








 
million, such transaction will be approved by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee along with an Officer’s Certificate describing
the transaction. 
 The Board of Directors of Cott may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott other than the Issuer to be
an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments by Cott and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so
designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under this Section 4.6 or the definition of “Permitted Investments” as determined by Cott.
Such designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary of Cott as an Unrestricted Subsidiary by the Board of Directors shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing
with the Trustee a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the terms of the Indenture governing the
designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries and was permitted by this Section 4.6. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Cott (other than Northeast Finco Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries) fails to meet the foregoing requirements as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture. Any Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary that has ceased to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.8, Cott shall be in default of such covenant. In addition, in the event Cott
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a transaction with Northeast Finco Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries such that the holders of Indebtedness of Northeast Finco Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries have recourse to Cott and its Restricted
Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction, Cott and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in default under Section 4.8. The Board of Directors of Cott may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if
(i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.8 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in
existence following such designation. 
 Section 4.7 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries. Cott shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary of Cott to: (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or
pay any Indebtedness owed to Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or advances to Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to Cott or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, except for: 
 (a) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the date of
this Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the Indenture; 
 (b) this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; 
  

 51 








 (c) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 
 (d) any instrument, including, without limitation, an instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by Cott or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries or at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott as in effect at the time of such acquisition or such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock
was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition or such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the
Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired or who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

 (e) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (f) purchase money obligations for property (real or personal, tangible and intangible) acquired in the ordinary course of business that
impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (iii) of the preceding paragraph; 
 (g) any
agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 
 (h) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; 
 (i) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (j) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, assets sale agreements,
stock sale agreements and other similar agreements; 
 (k) covenants to maintain new worth, total assets or liquidity or
restrictions on cash or other deposits imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (l) Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries under Section 4.8; provided that all such restrictions in the aggregate restrict no more than 10% of the Consolidated Cash Flow of Cott and its Restricted
Subsidiaries; 
 (m) any Credit Facilities of Cott, the Issuer or a Guarantor in effect after the date of this Indenture that
are permitted to be incurred by this Indenture, to the extent its provisions are substantially no more restrictive with respect to such dividend, distribution or other payment restriction and loan or investment restriction than those contained in
the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; and 
 (n) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to the terms of any
agreement entered into by a Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided, however, that such encumbrance or restriction applies only to such Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.8 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. Cott shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or

  

 52 








 
otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and Cott and the
Issuer shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that Cott, the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott may incur
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), Cott and the Issuer may issue Disqualified Stock and Restricted Subsidiaries of Cott that are Guarantors may issue Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Cott’s most recently ended four
full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1,
determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning
of such four quarter period; provided further that no more than $50.0 million of Indebtedness under this paragraph may be incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries of Cott that are not Guarantors so long as such Restricted Subsidiaries are Foreign
Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 The first paragraph of this Section 4.8 shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following
items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 
 (i) the incurrence by Cott, the
Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott of Indebtedness and letters of credit under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (i) (with letters of credit being deemed to
have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (a) $250.0 million, less the aggregate amount of such commitment reductions under the revolving portion of any Credit Facility resulting from the
application of proceeds from Asset Sales since the Issue Date and (b) the sum of (x) 85% of the net book value of the accounts receivable of the Person incurring such Indebtedness and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (y) 60% of the
total Eligible Inventory of the Person incurring such Indebtedness and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP and calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to any acquisitions or dispositions of assets made
in connection with any transaction on the date of calculation; 
 (ii) the incurrence by Cott, the Issuer and
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness; 
 (iii) the incurrence by Cott, the Issuer and the
Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Guarantees; 
 (iv) the incurrence by Cott,
the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or Purchase Money Indebtedness, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price
or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment or other assets used in or acquired in connection with the business of Cott, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott, in an aggregate principal amount, including all
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $75.0 million at any time outstanding; 
 (v) the incurrence by Cott, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiary of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness (including
the issuance of the New Notes and guarantees thereof) in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be

  

 53 








 
incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (ix) or (x) of this paragraph; 
 (vi) the incurrence by Cott, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness or issuance of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock between or among Cott and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: (a) if Cott, the Issuer or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is
expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Guarantees, in the case of a Guarantor; and (b) (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary
of Cott, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi); 
 (vii) the incurrence by Cott, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of (a) Hedging Obligations (other than
Hedging Obligations entered into for speculative purposes), (b) Indebtedness in respect of performance, surety or appeal bonds in the ordinary course of business or (c) Indebtedness arising from agreements providing for indemnification,
adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, or from Guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to such agreements, in any case Incurred
in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary of Cott (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or such Restricted Subsidiary for the
purpose of financing such acquisition), in a principal amount not to exceed the gross proceeds actually received by Cott or any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott in connection with such disposition; 
 (viii) the guarantee by Cott, the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of Cott or any Restricted Subsidiary of
Cott that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.8; 
 (ix) Acquired Debt of Cott,
the Issuer or any Guarantor; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either: (a) the Issuer would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test
set forth in the first paragraph of this covenant; or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries of Cott is equal to or greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger; 
 (x) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any
Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.8; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of Cott as accrued; and 
 (xi) the incurrence by Cott, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate
principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xi), not to exceed $50.0
million. 
  

 54 








 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.8 in the event that an item of
proposed Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xi) above as of the date of incurrence thereof, or is entitled to be incurred
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.8 as of the date of incurrence thereof, Cott shall be permitted to classify or later classify (or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that
complies with this Section 4.8 and such item of Indebtedness shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the
payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 4.8, any other obligation of the
obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have incurred such Indebtedness under this section) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting
such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar
equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred (or first committed, in the case of revolving credit
debt); provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the
principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 
 The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other
Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on
the date of such refinancing. 
 Section 4.9 Asset Sales. Cott shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (i) Cott (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
 (ii) for each Asset Sale where consideration exceeds $20.0 million, such Asset Sale is approved by Cott’s Board of
Directors and evidenced by a Board Resolution; and 
 (iii) at least 75% of the consideration therefore received
in the Asset Sale by Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the following shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision: 
 (a) any liabilities, as shown on Cott’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of Cott or such
Restricted Subsidiary (other than

  

 55 








 
contingent liabilities, liabilities owed to Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Guarantee) that are (1) assumed
by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability, or (2) expunged by the holder of such liability, and with respect to which the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released in writing from further liability with respect thereto; 
 (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Cott or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days repaid, converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for
cash or Cash Equivalents; 
 (c) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary of Cott in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause since the Issue Date that is at the time outstanding and held by the Issuer
or any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott, not to exceed the greater of (x) $20.0 million or (y) 2.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated
Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and 
 (d) Additional Assets. 
 Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds
from an Asset Sale, Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds at its option: 
 (i) to repay Indebtedness secured by such assets, Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott that is not a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to Cott or another Restricted Subsidiary of Cott) or Indebtedness under the Credit
Agreement and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
 (ii) to acquire assets that replace the assets sold or Additional Assets; or 
 (iii) to make capital expenditures; 
 provided, that Cott
or the Restricted Subsidiary shall have complied with clauses(ii) and (iii) if, within 365 days of such Asset Sale, Cott or the Restricted Subsidiary shall have commenced the expenditure or acquisition, or entered into a binding agreement with
respect to the expenditure or acquisition in compliance with clause (ii) or (iii), and that expenditure or acquisition is completed within a date one year and six months after the date of the Asset Sale; and provided further that if any
such expenditure or acquisition is abandoned after the date that is one year after the Asset Sale, Cott or the Restricted Subsidiary will immediately apply the Net Proceeds in accordance with clause (i) above. 
 Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Cott may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
  

 56 








 The amount related to Net Proceeds that are not applied or invested as provided in the
second preceding paragraph shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million or earlier at the Issuer’s option, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer (an
“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds
from any Asset Sale, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
and such pari passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the agreements governing such pari passu
Indebtedness, as applicable. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, is less than the Excess Proceeds, Cott may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof or lenders, collectively exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall
select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness. Upon completion of such offer to purchase the amount of Excess
Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 Section 4.10 Transactions With Affiliates. Cott shall
not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any
transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of any such person (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction, taken as a whole, is on terms that are no less favorable to Cott or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary of Cott than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 
 (ii) Cott delivers to the Trustee: 
 (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration
in excess of $20.0 million, a Board Resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and 
 (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series
of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $35.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Cott, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott, as applicable, of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial
point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing in the United States

  

 57 








 
or Canada; provided that none of the following shall be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions: 
 (1) any employment or indemnification agreement entered into by Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (2) transactions between or among Cott and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries and/or any Securitization Entity; 
 (3) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of Cott or an Affiliate of a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott solely because Cott or such Restricted Subsidiary controls such Person; 
 (4) payment of reasonable directors fees; 
 (5) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Cott; 
 (6) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.6; 
 (7) Permitted Investments (other than those described in clause (3) of the definition thereof); 
 (8) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax-sharing agreement between Cott and any other Person with which
Cott files a consolidated tax return or with which Cott is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes; and 
 (9) sales of inventory to, or other ordinary course transactions with, a joint venture or business combination in which Cott or a Restricted Subsidiary of Cott is an equity holder or other party; provided that the aggregate amount of
all such transactions or series of related transactions do not exceed $15.0 million in any fiscal year. 
 Section 4.11
Liens. Cott shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (other than Liens securing obligations among Cott or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens), unless the Notes and the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured with the obligations so secured (or, in the case of Indebtedness subordinated
to the Notes or the Guarantees senior in priority thereto, with the same relative priority as the Notes or such Guarantee has with respect to such subordinated Indebtedness) until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

 Section 4.12 Business Activities. Cott and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not, as a primary
business line, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses. 
 Section 4.13 Corporate Existence. Subject to
Article V hereof, Cott and the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of their respective Significant
Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Cott, the Issuer and their respective Significant Subsidiaries; provided, however,

  

 58 








 
that Cott and the Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their respective Significant Subsidiaries, if Cott and the Issuer shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Cott, the Issuer and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control 
 (a) Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer
described in this Section 4.14 (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of
purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 10 days following any Change of Control,
the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuer will comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Section, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under the provisions hereunder by virtue of such conflict. 
 (b) On a Change of Control Payment Date, the
Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions
thereof being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of
Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any;
provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 on excess thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the
Change of Control Payment Date. 
 The Change of Control provisions described above shall be applicable whether or not other
provisions of this Indenture are applicable. 
 (c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in a manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. 
 Section 4.15 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D giving effect to the
Guarantee of the Notes by such Subsidiary;

  

 59 








 
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to subsidiaries that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long
as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. If any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott Guarantees any Indebtedness of Cott, the Issuer or any Guarantor, then such Restricted Subsidiary will promptly become a Guarantor and execute a
supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D giving effect to the Guarantee of the Notes by such Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.16
Payments for Consent. Cott shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of any Notes for or as an inducement to any consent,
waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 Section 4.17 Covenant Suspension.
(a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the events described in the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension”), Cott and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of this Indenture under Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10,
4.11, 4.13 and clause (4) of Section 5.1 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee of any Covenant Suspension and any Reversion Date (as defined below). 
 (b) In the event that Cott and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of
the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) (1) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating or
(2) the Issuer or any of its affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any
related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted
Subsidiaries of Cott will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period beginning on the day of a Covenant Suspension Event and ending on a Reversion Date is called a
“Suspension Period.” During any Suspension Period, Cott may not designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless Cott would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a
Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period. On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause
(ii) of Section 4.8. The ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated as if the covenant governing Restricted
Payments had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date. 
 ARTICLE V 
 SUCCESSORS

dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: (i) immediately after
giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) either: 
 (1) the
Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Guarantee and the Registration Rights

 (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of al or
substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of Cott, if the sale or other disposition complies with
Section 4.9; or

 (iv) if Cott designates any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

 Section 5.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Cott or the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which Cott or the Issuer is merged or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring
to the “Issuer” or “Cott”, as the case may be, shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to Cott or the Issuer, as the case may be), and may exercise every right and power of such entity under this Indenture with
the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as such entity herein; provided, however, that the predecessor entity shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the
case of a sale of all of the assets of Cott or the Issuer, as the case may be, that meets the requirements of Section 5.1 hereof. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 Section 6.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if: 
 (a) the Issuer defaults in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (b) the Issuer defaults in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; 
 (c) Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fail to comply with any of the provisions of Section 4.6, Section 4.14 or Section 5.1 hereof;

 (d) Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fail to observe or perform any other covenant or other agreement in this
Indenture or the Notes for 60 days after written notice to the Issuer from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 
 (e) Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries defaults under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by
which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee
now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal

  

 62 








 
of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness after the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”)
or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been
a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more; 
 (f) Cott or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries fail to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $20.0 million (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; 
 (g) Cott, the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of Cott that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commence a voluntary case, 
 (ii) consent to the entry of an order for relief against them in an
involuntary case, 
 (iii) consent to the appointment of a custodian of them or for all or substantially all of
their property, 
 (iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of their creditors, or 
 (v) generally are not paying their debts as they become due; or 
 (h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in
effect for 60 consecutive days, that: 
 (i) is for relief against Cott, the Issuer or any other Restricted
Subsidiary of Cott in an involuntary case; 
 (ii) appoints a custodian of Cott, the Issuer or any other
Restricted Subsidiary of Cott or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiary; or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of Cott, the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of Cott; or 
 (i) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any
Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee. 
 Section 6.2
Acceleration. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.1 hereof occurs with respect to Cott or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that,
taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable 
  

 63 








 
without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of
Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of
principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived, and (iii) the Issuer has paid to the Trustee all amounts due to Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event or Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding the remedies afforded to the Holders of the Notes upon the occurrence and continuation of
an Event of Default, to the extent Cott elects and provides notice to the Trustee, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to (i) Cott’s failure to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA any documents
or reports that Cott is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (ii) Cott’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations set forth above under Section 4.3, shall after the
occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 60-day period
beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing. If Cott so elects and provides notice to the Trustee, such additional interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the
same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 61st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 61st day), the Notes shall be subject to
acceleration. 
 If a Default is deemed to occur solely because a Default (the “Initial Default”) already
existed, then if such Initial Default is cured and is not continuing, the Default or Event of Default resulting solely because the Initial Default existed shall be deemed cured, and will be deemed annulled, waived and rescinded without any further
action required. 
 The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a written statement regarding compliance with this
Indenture, and the Issuer is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 Section 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
  

 64 








 Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.2, Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.5 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action consistent with this Indenture relating to any such direction.

 Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits. A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
only if: 
 (a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the
remedy; 
 (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within
60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of security and indemnity; and 
 (e) during
such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.7 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.8 Collection Suit By Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
Trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium and 
  

 65 








 
Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest and Liquidated Damages and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee
under Section 7.7. 
 Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under or in connection with this Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under or in connection with this Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a perfected, first priority Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise, and such Lien in favor of a
predecessor Trustee shall be senior to the Lien in favor of the current Trustee. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following
order: 
 (a) First: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts
due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, fees, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 (b) Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any and interest, respectively; and 
 (c) Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a 
  

 66 








 
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates
and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be
relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e) and (f) of this Section. 
  

 67 








 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered and, if requested, provided to the
Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable
for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled
to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or
refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible
for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) No permissive right of the Trustee to act hereunder shall be construed as a
duty. 
 (h) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel, or both. 
 (i) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Notes unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual

  

 68 








 
knowledge of such Default of Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer or by any Holder of the
Notes. 
 Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate
such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
 Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Registration Rights Agreement; it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision
of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any
other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if the Trustee receives written notice thereof, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Issuer) mail to Holders of Notes a notice of
the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice
if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders of The Notes. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Issuer) mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA
Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Issuer
and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer and each Guarantor jointly and severally agree to pay to the Trustee from time to
time compensation as agreed upon by the Trustee and the Issuer, and, in the absence of any such agreement, reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance

  

 69 








 
or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.7) and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with, relating to, or arising out of (i) the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, or in connection herewith, and (ii) the validity, invalidity, adequacy or inadequacy of this Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Notes or the Registration Rights Agreement, except to the extent any such loss, liability or
expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it intends to seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Guarantors shall
not relieve the Issuer and the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer and the Guarantors may defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors
shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Trustee under this Indenture shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee
and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to the
extent applicable. 
 Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.8. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee
takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 
  

 70 








 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 If the Trustee, after receiving a written request by any Holder of a Note who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at
least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders
of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee or any Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Agent, as the case may be. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking
association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities and that together with its direct parent, if any, or in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, its related bank holding company, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its
most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall be subject to TIA Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.11
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to
TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Other Capacities. All references in this
Indenture to the Trustee shall be deemed to refer to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee and in its capacities as any Agent, to the extent acting in such capacities, and every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the
liability or offering protection, immunity or indemnity to the Trustee shall be deemed to apply with the same force and effect to the Trustee acting in its capacities as any Agent.

 71 








 Section 8.1 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; Discharge

 (a) The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be applied to all
outstanding Notes and the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 
 (b) The Issuer
may terminate its obligations (and the obligations of any Guarantor in respect of the Guarantees) under the Notes and this Indenture (except those obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 8.1(b)) if all such Notes thereto
authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment cash in United States dollars has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer has paid all sums payable by it hereunder, or if: 
 (i) either (x) pursuant to Article III, the Issuer shall have given notice to the Trustee and mailed a notice of redemption to each Holder of the redemption of all of the Notes under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the
giving of such notice or (y) all Notes have otherwise become due and payable hereunder or will become due and payable within one year; 
 (ii) the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or another trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement, as trust funds in trust
solely for the benefit of the Holders for that purpose, cash in United States dollars in such amount as is sufficient without consideration of reinvestment of such interest, to pay principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, on the outstanding Notes to maturity or redemption; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such deposit to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, with
respect to the Notes; 
 (iii) no Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer, any
Guarantor or any or their respective Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of such parties is bound; 
 (iv) the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have paid all other sums payable by it hereunder; and 
 (v) the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. Such Opinion of
Counsel shall also state that such satisfaction and discharge does not result in a default under the Credit Agreement (if then in effect) or any other agreement or instrument then known to such counsel that binds or affects the Issuer or any
Guarantor. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Issuer’s (and any Guarantor’s) obligations in Sections 2.5,
2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 4.1, 4.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 8.7 shall survive with respect to the Notes until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.8. After the Notes are not longer outstanding, the Issuer’s obligations in
Sections 7.7, 8.6 and 8.7 shall survive. 
 (c) After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations (and the obligations of any Guarantors in

  

 72 








 
respect of Guarantees of the Notes) under the Notes and this Indenture with respect to the Notes except for those surviving obligations specified above. 
 Section 8.2 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.2, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and to have each Guarantor’s obligations
discharged with respect to its Guarantee on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and
(b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following
provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders
of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due; 
 (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 4.2 hereof; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and any Agent hereunder and the Issuer’s and
Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith, including, without limitation, Article VII and Section 8.5 and 8.7 hereunder; and 
 (d) this Article VIII. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer
may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 hereof. 
 Section 8.3 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuer and each Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.4 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, and 5.1 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and
the consequences of any default thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof
of the option applicable to this Section 8.3 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(d) through 6.1(e) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
  

 73 








 Section 8.4 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the
conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
 In order to exercise either Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay and
discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages due, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are
being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.2 hereof, the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of
the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.3 hereof,
the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the outstanding
Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Sections 6.1(g) or 6.1(h) hereof are concerned, at any time in the period ending
on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

 (f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (subject to customary
qualifications and assumptions) after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

 (g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; 
  

 74 








 (h) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and 
 (i) the Trustee shall have received such other documents, assurances and Opinions of Counsel as the Trustee shall have reasonably required.

 Section 8.5 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 8.6 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to
Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Issuer acting as Paying Agent), to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article VIII to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.6 Repayment to
Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, and premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note
shall thereafter, as a creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days after the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be promptly
repaid to the Issuer. 
 Section 8.7 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted by
such court or governmental

  

 75 








 
authority to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.1 Without Consent of Holders of
Notes. Notwithstanding Section 9.2 of this Indenture, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 
 (c) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuer, Cott or any other Guarantor to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Issuer, Cott or any Guarantor pursuant to Article V hereof; 
 (d) to add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes, including any new Guarantee Agreements or to release a Guarantor pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture; 
 (e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the
Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; 
 (f) to comply with
requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or 
 (g) to
conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Issuer’s Offering Memorandum dated October 29, 2009, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to
the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended by the Issuer to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, such intention to be evidenced by an Officer’s
Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.2 and 9.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of any amended or
supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.2
With Consent of Holders of Notes. Except as provided below in this Section 9.2, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in 
  

 76 








 
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.8 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.2. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the
Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.2 and 9.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture
unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.2
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or
waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each
Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.2 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b)
reduce the principal of or premium payable upon the redemption of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change to an earlier date any redemption date of Notes (except that Sections 3.9, 4.9 and 4.14 may be amended or waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes); 
 (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment
of interest, including default interest, on any Note; 
 (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of
or premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the
payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the
Notes; 
  

 77 








 (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults
or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes; 
 (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (except that Sections 3.9, 4.9 and 4.14 may be amended or waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes); 
 (h) release any Guarantor from any of the obligations under its Guarantee or their Indentures, except in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (i) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 
 Section 9.3 Compliance With Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in
an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of
Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or
waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors
approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.4 hereof, an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.1 Unconditional Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a
Note authenticated by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any
applicable grace period,

  

 78 








 
whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on any overdue interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders
or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each Guarantor agrees that this a guarantee of payment and
not a guarantee of collection. Without limiting any other obligation of Cott hereunder, Cott also unconditionally guarantees the Guarantee of each other Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the
Guarantees will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any
custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article VI for the purpose of the Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantees. 
 Section 10.2 Severability. In case any provision of this Article X shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 10.3 Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its
acceptance hereof each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantees not constitute fraudulent transfers or conveyances for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act,
the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under the
Guarantees shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf
of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.4, result in the obligations of such Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 10.4 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter
se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under the Guarantees such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based
on the net assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to Section 10.3, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Guarantor in discharging the

  

 79 








 
Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantees, as the case may be. 
 Section 10.5 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If Cott or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another Domestic
Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, or if any Restricted Subsidiary of Cott becomes a Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then such newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary shall execute a supplemental indenture
providing for its Guarantee, in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, that all of Cott’s Restricted Subsidiaries that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance herewith shall not be subject to the
requirements of this covenant for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 10.6
Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the Issuer that arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantees or this
Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate to, and no payment with respect to any such claim of such Guarantor shall be made before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Notes in
accordance with the provisions provided therefor in this Indenture. 
 Section 10.7 Additional Amounts. In connection
with Cott’s Guarantee of the Notes, any amounts to be paid by Cott under its Guarantee shall be paid without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and all present or future tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon
or as a result of such payment by the Government of Canada, or any province or other political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or if deduction or withholding of any such tax, duty, assessment or charge shall at any time be
required by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or any such province, political subdivision or taxing authority, Cott shall pay such additional amount in respect of principal and interest as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid
to the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the Guarantee after such deduction or withholding shall not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes to be then due and payable; except that no such additional
amount shall be payable in respect of any Notes to any holder (1) who is subject to such tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge in respect of the notes by reason of his being connected with Canada otherwise than merely by the holding or
ownership of the Notes, or (2) who is not dealing at arm’s length with Cott (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as reenacted or amended from time to time), or (3) with respect to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales,
transfer, personal property or any other similar tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge, or (4) with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge payable otherwise than by withholding payments in respect of the notes, or
(5) with respect to any combination of the above. 
 Section 10.8 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee
set forth in Section 13.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, the Controller, any Executive
Vice President, any Senior Vice President, any Vice President, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Guarantor or the sole member of the Guarantor, as the case may be, or any other officers of such Guarantor or such sole member, as the
case may be, acting at the direction of any such foregoing officer. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation
of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time
the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
  

 80 








 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 Section 10.9 Benefits
Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made
in contemplation of such benefits.

 Section 11.4 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer or any of the
Guarantors to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee:

signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and 
 (b) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 11.5 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,

on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may
not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy. 
 Section 11.8 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 11.9 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer and each
Guarantor submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or appropriate state court in the State of New York in any suit or proceeding brought by the Trustee (whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity or capacity as Trustee),
consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail),
postage prepaid, to either Cott or Cott Beverages Inc. at the address set forth in this Indenture or at such other address of which the Trustee shall have been notified. 
 To the extent that the Issuer or any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee, to
the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 11.10 Conversion of Currency. Cott covenants and agrees that the following
provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of its Guarantee and this Indenture: 
 (a) If for the purposes of
obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in United States Dollars, then the conversion shall be
made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine). 
  

 83 








 (i) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the
Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of endorsement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, Cott will pay such additional (or, as the
case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the judgment currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in United States Dollars originally due.

 (b) In the event of the winding-up of Cott at any time while any amount or damages owing under its Guarantee and this
Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, Cott shall indemnify and hold the Holders of Notes and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of
exchange between (1) the date as of which the equivalent of the amount in United States Dollars due or contingently due under the Notes and this Indenture (other than under this Subsection calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and
(2) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this Subsection (b) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of Cott shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or other
wise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of Cott may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

 (c) The obligations contained in Subsections (a)(ii) and (b) of this Section 11.10 shall constitute separate and
independent obligations of Cott from its other obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against Cott, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder
or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Company for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other
than under Subsection (b) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss
shall be required by Cott or its liquidator. In the case of Subsection (b) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any
liquidating distribution. 
 (d) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce at its central foreign exchange desk in its main office in Toronto at 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the relevant date for purchases of United States dollars with the judgment currency other than United States Dollars
referred to in Subsections (a) and (b) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable. 
 Section 11.11
Currency Equivalent. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, for purposes of the construction of the terms of this Indenture or of Cott’s Guarantee, in the event that any amount is stated herein in the currency of one nation (the
“First Currency”), as of any date such amount shall also be deemed to represent the amount in the currency of any other relevant nation (the “Other Currency”) which is required to purchase such amount in the First
Currency at the rate of exchange quoted by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce at its central foreign exchange desk in its main office in Toronto at 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the date of determination. 
 Section 11.12 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  

 84 








 Section 11.13 Counterpart Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of
this Indenture or the Notes. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Indenture by facsimile, email or other electronic means shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Indenture.

 (Back of Note) 
 8.375% Senior Notes due 2017 
 Capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. INTEREST.
Cott Beverages Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 8.375% per annum from November 13, 2009 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if
any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuer shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 15, 2010. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from
time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record
date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture (as herein defined) with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register
of Holders, provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer at least 10 Business Days prior to the
applicable payment date will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, HSBC BANK USA,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer, any wholly owned Subsidiary of Cott Corporation, a Canadian
corporation (“Cott”), or any Guarantor may act in any such capacity. 
 4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the
Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 13, 2009 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue
of notes of the Issuer designated as its 8.375% Senior Notes due 2017. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust
Indenture Act”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of

  

 A-1-3

 12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.1 of the Indenture. If any Event of
Default (other than as specified in Section 6.1(g) or 6.1(h) of the Indenture with respect to the Issuer, Cott or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare
all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on all Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Notes) and upon any
such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default as specified in Section 6.01(g) or
6.01(h), with respect to the Issuer, Cott or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, occurs and is continuing, then all the Notes shall automatically

other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then

  

 A-1-5 








 
outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to
the payment of principal, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on,
any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder. The Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with
the Indenture, and the Issuer is required after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Guarantor or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
 14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Cott or the Issuer, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Cott or the Issuer or any
Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy. 
 15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations

right to receive Liquidated Damages. 
 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 19. CUSIP/ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP/ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP/ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 (Back of Regulation S Temporary Global Note) 
 8.375% Senior Notes due 2017 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. INTEREST. Cott Beverages Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at 8.375% per annum from November 13, 2009 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuer shall pay interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will
accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 15, 2010. The Issuer shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 Until this Regulation S Temporary
Global Note is exchanged for one or more Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall in all other
respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Notes under the Indenture. 
 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay
interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be,
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture (as herein defined) with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages,
if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to Notes the Holders
of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof.
Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. The Issuer, any wholly owned Subsidiary of Cott Corporation, a Canadian corporation (“Cott”), or any Guarantor may act in any such capacity.

trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the
Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder. The Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is
so required under the Trust Indenture Act) are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Guarantor or its Affiliates, as if it were not the
Trustee. 
 14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Cott or the Issuer,
as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Cott or the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder
by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the
view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy. 
 15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with
right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
 17.
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, each Holder of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have
all the

rights of such Holder set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Liquidated Damages. 
 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 19. CUSIP/ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer
has caused CUSIP/ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP/ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 20. GUARANTEES. This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders. 
 The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written
request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to the following address:

 4. Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 
 (a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated by the
Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on any overdue interest on the Notes, if any, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or under the Notes
will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 of the Indenture. 
  

 D-1 








 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. 
 (c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby waives: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 
 (d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture. 
 (e) If any Holder or the Trustee
is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or any Guarantor to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that any claim against the Issuer that arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s obligations under this Guarantee or the Indenture, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate to, and no payment with respect to any such claim of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be made before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Notes in accordance with the
provisions provided therefor in the Indenture. 
 (g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 (h) The Guarantors agree, inter se,
that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under the Guarantees, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based on
the net assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to Section 10.3 of the Indenture, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Guarantor in discharging the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantees, as the case may be. 
 (i) The obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Guarantee shall be limited to the extent set forth in Section 10.3. 
 (j) This Guarantee inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders and their successors, transferees and assigns.

 5. Execution and Delivery. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantees shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of any such Guarantees. 
  

 D-2 








 6. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale or Lease of Assets. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into another Person (other than the Issuer or another Guarantor) except in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Indenture.
This Guarantee will be released in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Indenture. 
 7. No Recourse Against
Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer, Cott or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Guarantees, the
Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy. 
 8. Fees and Expenses. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under the Guarantees. 
 9. Governing Law. THIS
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 12. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuer. 
 13. Benefits Acknowledged. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it
pursuant to this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
