   TERMS OF NOTES  

 5.00% Senior Note due 2015  

1.    Interest    

        Molson
Coors Capital Finance ULC, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called
the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Canadian Denominated Security at the rate per annum shown above;  provided,
however, that if certain default events provided for in Section 2(d) of the Exchange
Offer Agreement ("Qualification Defaults") occur, Additional Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offer Agreement) will accrue on this Canadian
Denominated Security at a rate of 0.25% per annum from and including the date on which any such Qualification Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Qualification Defaults
have been cured. The Company will pay interest, in arrears, in equal semi-annual payments on March 22 and September 22 of each year, commencing March 22, 2006.
Interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities 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 of such Canadian
Denominated Securities. The amount of Additional Interest payable for any period other than a regular interest payment period will be determined by multiplying the above Additional Interest rate, by
the principal amount of the Canadian Denominated Securities and then multiplying the product by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Additional Interest rate was
applicable during such period and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the applicable year. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the above rate and will pay
interest on overdue installments of interest at such rate to the extent lawful. Interest, including Additional Interest, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable
year. 

2.    Method of Payment    

        The
Company will pay interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Canadian Denominated Securities at the close
of business on the March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date even if Canadian Denominated Securities are cancelled after the record date and on or before the
interest payment date.
Holders must surrender Canadian Denominated Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of Canada that at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Canadian Denominated Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest)
will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited. The Company will make all payments in respect of a
certificated Canadian Denominated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof;  provided, however, that payments on a certificated Canadian Denominated Security will be made by wire
transfer to a Canadian Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in Canada if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Canadian Trustee or the Paying Agent
to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Canadian Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

3.    Paying Agent and Registrar    

        Initially,
The Canada Trust Company, a trust company duly amalgamated and existing under the laws of Canada (the "Canadian Trustee"), will
act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company, the Parent or any of Parent's Subsidiaries
may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4.    Indenture    

        The
Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (as supplemented by (1) the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22,
2005 (the "First Supplemental Indenture") by and among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the U.S. Trustee and the Agent Trustee and
(2) the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture") by and among the Company, the
Parent, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Canadian Trustee), the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Trustees (each, as defined therein). The terms of the Canadian Denominated Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the "Act"). Terms defined in
the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Canadian Denominated Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Canadian Denominated
Securities are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent the terms of this Canadian Denominated Security and those of the Indenture may conflict, the
Indenture shall control. 

        The
Canadian Denominated Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.04 of the
Second Supplemental Indenture. The Initial Canadian Denominated Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor will be treated
as a single Tranche for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional secured indebtedness and to
enter into sale and leaseback transactions. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. 

5.    Optional Redemption    

        The
Canadian Denominated Securities will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the principal amount of such Canadian Denominated Securities then outstanding or (ii) the Canada Yield Price; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date. 

        Upon
the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, the Company may redeem the Canadian Denominated Securities at any time, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the
principal amount of the outstanding Canadian Denominated Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Canadian Denominated Securities being redeemed to, but excluding,
the redemption date, by delivering to the Canadian Trustee at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for such redemption, a certificate, signed by an
authorized Officer, stating that the Company is entitled to redeem such Canadian Denominated Securities pursuant to the Indenture and specifying the date fixed for such redemption. 

6.    Notice of Redemption    

        Notice
of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Canadian Denominated Securities to be redeemed
at his registered address. Other than with respect to a redemption resulting from the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, Canadian Denominated Securities in denominations larger than Cdn.$1,000
principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of Cdn.$1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Canadian Denominated Securities (or
portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest
ceases to accrue on such Canadian Denominated Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

7.    Guaranty    

        The
payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Canadian Denominated Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior
basis by the Parent and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

8.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange    

        The
Canadian Denominated Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of Cdn.$1,000 principal amount and whole multiples of Cdn.$l,000. A Holder may transfer or
exchange Canadian Denominated Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay
any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Canadian Denominated Securities selected for redemption (except, in
the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Canadian Denominated Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Canadian
Denominated Securities to be redeemed. 

9.    Persons Deemed Owners    

        The
registered Holder of this Canadian Denominated Security may be treated as the legal owner of it for all purposes. 

10.    Unclaimed Money    

        If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Canadian Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an
abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company or such other Person and not to the Canadian Trustee for payment. 

11.    Discharge and Defeasance    

        Subject
to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be discharged from all of its obligations under the Canadian Denominated Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits
with the
Canadian Trustee money or Canada Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Canadian Denominated Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 

12.    Amendment, Waiver    

        Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount outstanding of the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustees shall be entitled to
amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes, or to add guaranties with respect to the Notes, including the Parent Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranties, or to secure the Notes, or to add additional covenants or
events of default or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Guarantors, or to comply with any request of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Act, or
to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder, or to add to, change, or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture with respect to one or more Series of
Securities issued subsequent to such amendment or supplement, or to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the 

A-3

 

administration
of the Indenture by more than one Trustee, or to establish the form or terms of Securities and coupons of any Series and to change the procedures for transferring and exchanging
Securities of any Series so long as such change does not, subject to applicable law, adversely affect the Securityholders. 

13.    Defaults and Remedies    

        Under
the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (ii) default in payment of principal (or premium, if
any) on the Securities when due; (iii) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with other covenants in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of
time; (iv) the acceleration of certain types of debt of the Parent, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of the Significant Subsidiaries in a principal amount exceeding U.S.$50,000,000
as a result of the failure of the Parent, the Company, or such subsidiary to perform any covenant or agreement applicable to such debt which acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within a certain
time period; and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or the Parent Guarantor as set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustees or the Holders of Securities may declare all such Securities to be due and payable immediately as provided for and subject to the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 

        Securityholders
may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustees may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives
indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations provided for in the Indenture, Holders of Securities may direct the Trustees in their exercise of any trust or power. 

14.    Trustees Dealings with the Company    

        Subject
to certain limitations imposed by the Act and applicable Canadian corporate laws, each Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner
or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not a Trustee. 

15.    No Recourse Against Others    

        A
director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Trustee (and any employee of The Toronto-Dominion Bank acting in its capacity as representative of the
initial Canadian Trustee) shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities. 

16.    Authentication    

        This
Canadian Denominated Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Canadian Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication

directed the Trustees to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the

but not later than 120 days following the Closing Date, obtain a Preliminary MRRS Decision Document from the NSSC in respect of the Preliminary Prospectus with respect to a proposed Exchange
Offer and the issuance and delivery to the Holders, in exchange for the Qualification Securities, of a like principal amount of Exchange Securities, (B) use their reasonable best efforts to

"Final Receipt Deadline"), (C) use their reasonable best efforts to hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 Business Days in each of the
Qualifying Provinces, and (D) use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be consummated as promptly as practicable, but in any case not later than the date that is 40
Business Days after the Final Receipt Deadline. The Issuer shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related Prospectus and accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such
other disclosures as are required by applicable law: 

          (i)  that
the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to the Exchange Offer Agreement and that all Qualification Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted

         (ii)  the

Holders electing to have a Qualification Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such Qualification Security, together with

         (v)  that
Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, not later than the time the Exchange Offer terminates (which shall not be earlier than 5:00 p.m.,
Montreal time) on the last Exchange Date, by sending to the institution and at the address (located in Canada) specified in the Prospectus or the accompanying documents a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Qualification Securities delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to
have such Securities exchanged. 

4

 

        As
soon as reasonably practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Parent shall: 

          (i)  accept
for exchange all Qualification Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and 

         (ii)  deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Qualification Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Issuer or the Parent
and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder, an Exchange Security equal in principal amount to the principal amount of, and representing the same continuing
indebtedness as, the Qualification Securities surrendered by such Holder. 

        The
Parent and the Issuer shall use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Canadian
Securities Laws and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not
violate Canadian Securities Laws. The Issuer or the Parent shall inform the Representatives of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Representatives shall
have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Qualification Securities in the Exchange Offer. 

        Each
Holder participating in the Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Issuer or the Parent that at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer (i) any
Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the 1933 Act or Canadian Securities Laws, (iii) such Holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405
of the 1933 Act, of the Parent, the Issuer or any Guarantor, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the
Exchange Securities within the meaning of Canadian Securities Laws, (v) such Holder is in a Qualifying Province where a receipt for the Prospectus has been issued, or is otherwise able to
acquire the Exchange Notes on a basis that is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of, and in compliance with, applicable securities law, and (vi) such Holder has full power
and authority to transfer the Securities in exchange for the Exchange Securities. 

        (b)   The
Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay all Qualification Expenses in connection with the qualification of the Exchange Securities pursuant to Section 2(a)
including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of one Canadian counsel and one United States counsel to be selected by the Representatives or, if the Representatives elect not to select such
counsel, by the Majority Holders and which counsel may also be counsel for the Initial Purchasers. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's Qualification Securities. 

        (c)   For
the purposes of 2(a)(C) above, if, after the Final MRRS Decision Document has been issued, the offering of Exchange Securities pursuant to the Prospectus is
interfered with by any cease trading stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of any Canadian Securities Commissions or any other governmental agency or court, the Exchange Offer will be
deemed not to have been open during the period of such interference until the distribution of Exchange Securities pursuant to the Prospectus may again legally resume. 

        (d)   The
parties hereto agree that the holders of Securities will suffer damages if the Parent and the Issuer fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 2(a) and
that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, liquidated damages in the form of additional cash 

5

 

interest
(the "Additional Interest") shall be payable by the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of the Securities as follows: 

          (i)  if
a Preliminary MRRS Decision Document is not issued by the NSSC in respect of the Preliminary Prospectus within 120 days following the Closing Date, then
commencing on and including the 121st day after the Closing Date, in addition to the interest otherwise payable on the Securities, Additional Interest will accrue and be payable on the Securities at
the rate of 0.25% per annum; and 

         (ii)  if
a Final MRRS Decision Document is not issued by the NSSC in respect of the Prospectus within 180 days following the Closing Date, then commencing on and
including the 181st day after the Closing Date, in addition to the interest otherwise payable on the Securities, Additional Interest will accrue and be payable on the Securities at the rate of 0.25%
per annum; and 

        (iii)  if
the Issuer or Parent has not exchanged Exchange Securities for all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer
on or prior to the date that is 40 Business Days after the Final Receipt Deadline, then, in addition to the interest otherwise payable on the Securities, Additional Interest will accrue and be payable
on the Securities at the rate of 0.25% per annum from and including (x) the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately succeeding the 40th Business Day after the Final Receipt Deadline; 

provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Securities may in no event exceed 0.25% per annum; and provided,
further, that (1) upon a Preliminary MRRS Decision Document being issued for the Preliminary Prospectus (in the case of (i) above), (2) upon a Final MRRS
Decision Document being issued for the Prospectus (in the case of (ii) above), or (3) upon the exchange of Exchange Securities for all Qualification Securities validly tendered and not
withdrawn in the Exchange Offer (in the case of (iii) above), Additional Interest on the Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii) or (iii), respectively, shall cease to
accrue. 

        Any
amount of Additional Interest due pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding paragraph will be calculated on the same basis on which interest is calculated
on the Securities, will be payable in cash and will be payable on the same dates on which interest is otherwise payable on the Securities and to the same Persons who are entitled to receive those
payments of interest on the Securities. The amount of Additional Interest payable for any period other than a regular interest payment period will be determined by multiplying the Additional Interest
rate, which will be 0.25% per annum, by the principal amount of the Securities and then multiplying the product by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Additional Interest
rate was applicable during such period and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the applicable year. 

        (e)   Without
limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the Parent to comply
with its obligations under Section 2(a) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers, the Sub-Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate
remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, any Initial Purchaser, Sub-Purchaser or Holder may
obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuer's and the Guarantors' obligations under Section 2(a) hereof, provided
that, without limiting the ability of any Initial Purchaser or Holder to specifically enforce such obligations, in the case of any terms of this Agreement for which Additional Interest pursuant to
Section 2(d) is expressly provided as a remedy for a violation of such terms, such Additional Interest shall be the sole monetary damages for such a violation. 

        (f)    The
Issuer and Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the Initial Purchasers and Sub-Purchasers may use the Canadian Prospectuses and any amendment or
supplement thereto, in 

6

 

connection
with the sale or transfer of the Exchange Securities qualified for distribution by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. 

        3.    Qualification Procedures.

jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, or
(iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject; 

        (d)   notify

Final MRRS Decision Document has been issued by the NSSC for the Prospectus and when any amendment thereto has been filed and when any MRRS decision document or receipt is issued in respect thereof,
(ii) of any request by the

of the Issuer or any Guarantor contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Qualification Securities cease to
be true and correct in all material respects or if the Issuer or any Guarantor receives any notification of the issuance of any order suspending or preventing the use of a Canadian Prospectus or any
supplementary material or of any cease trade or similar order affecting the Securities or Exchange Securities or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; 

        (e)   use

trade or similar order affecting the Securities or Exchange Securities and if such an order or cease trade is issued to obtain the lifting or withdrawal as soon as reasonably possible and provide
notice as promptly as practicable to the Representatives of the lifting or withdrawal of any such order;

        (g)   within
a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Canadian Prospectus or amendment or supplement to a Canadian Prospectus or, after the filing of the Preliminary

        (k)   from

however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder, Initial Purchaser, or
Sub-Purchaser from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims damages or liabilities purchased Securities, or any person controlling such Holder or Initial Purchaser or
Sub-Purchaser, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Issuer shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf
of such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Sub-Purchaser, as the case may be, to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
such Exchange Securities to such person, and if such Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, unless such
failure is the result of noncompliance by the Issuer or Parent with Section 3(l) or 3(m), or unless such defect shall have been cured by a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus). 

        (b)   Each
Holder agrees, severally and not jointly (except, if such Holder is an Initial Purchaser or Sub-Purchaser, that such Holder's obligations will be joint
and several with its Canadian affiliate Sub-Purchaser or affiliate Initial Purchaser, respectively, as applicable), to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Guarantors, the
Initial Purchasers, Sub-Purchasers and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective affiliates, directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or the
Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser, Sub-Purchaser or other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, but only with reference to information relating to such Initial Purchaser or its
affiliate Sub-Purchaser furnished to the Issuer or the Parent in writing by such Initial Purchaser or its affiliate Sub-Purchaser, as the case may be, expressly for use in any
Canadian Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). 

        (c)   In
case any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental investigation), claim or demand shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, such Person (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the
Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party,
shall retain one counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (A) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Initial Purchasers and all Persons, if
any, who control any Initial Purchasers within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (B) the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Parent, its directors, its officers who sign any certificate related to the Canadian Prospectuses and each Person, if any, who controls the Parent
within the meaning of either such Section and (C) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all Persons, if any, who control
any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In 

12

 

such
case involving the Initial Purchasers (including the Sub-Purchasers) and Persons who control the Initial Purchasers (or Sub-Purchasers), such firm shall be designated in
writing by the Representatives. In such case involving the Holders and such Persons who control Holders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders. In all other cases, such firm
shall be designated in writing by the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled
with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested that an Indemnifying Party reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if
(i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the
Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement (unless such fees are being disputed in good faith). No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding. 

        (d)   If
the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 4 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Indemnifying Party or Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party or Parties, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities or the Exchange Securities or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party or Parties on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party or Parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors and the Holders shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer and the
Parent or by the Holders and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Holders' respective obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 4 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Qualification Securities of such Holders that were qualified pursuant to the Prospectus,
and not joint. 

        (e)   The
Issuer, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (c) above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Qualification
Securities were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of 

13

 

Section 11(f)
of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 4 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. 

        (f)    The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, any Sub-Purchasers, any Holder or any Person controlling any of the Initial Purchasers, any
Sub-Purchasers or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantors, its officers or directors or any Person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance
of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Qualification Securities. 

        5.    Covenants of the Initial Purchasers.    

        Each
of the Initial Purchasers severally (and in the case of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
jointly and severally with their respective Canadian affiliate Sub-Purchaser), covenants with the Issuer and Parent as follows: 

        (a)   Upon
the request of the Issuer, each Sub-Purchaser and each Initial Purchaser that does not have a Canadian affiliate Sub-Purchaser, will use
reasonable best efforts to execute each Canadian Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, presented to the Initial Purchaser or Sub-Purchaser, as the case may be, for execution
and each Initial Purchaser that has a Canadian affiliate Sub-Purchaser, if required by Canadian Securities Commissions, will use reasonable best efforts (which for greater certainty shall
not include obtaining additional registrations under Canadian Securities Laws) to execute each Canadian Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, presented to such Initial Purchaser for
execution and each Initial Purchaser and Sub-Purchaser will use reasonable best efforts to assist the Issuer in obtaining any requisite regulatory approvals in connection with the
preparation and filing of such documents; and 

        (b)   such
Initial Purchaser or Sub-Purchaser, as the case may be, will use reasonable best efforts to complete the distribution of the Exchange Securities and
will, in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws, deliver copies of the Prospectus to holders of the Qualification Securities and assist the Issuer in facilitating procedures under the Exchange
Offer. 

        6.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)    No Inconsistent Agreements.    The Issuer and the Guarantors have not entered into, and on or after the date of
this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Qualification Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuer's and the Guarantors' other issued and
outstanding securities under any such agreements. 

        (b)    Amendments and Waivers.    The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuer and the Parent have obtained the written consent of Holders of
at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Qualification Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided,
however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 4 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder
of Qualification Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6 shall be in writing
executed by each of the parties hereto. 

14

 

        (c)    Notices.    All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing
by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder
to the Issuer or the Parent by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, BMO Nesbitt
Burns Inc., 1 First Canadian Place 3rd Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5X 1H3: Attn Colleen Campbell, Fax 416-359-1636 and TD
Securities Inc., Ernst & Young Tower, 222 Bay Street, 7th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1A2: Attn William Perdue, Fax 416-308-3715;
(ii) if to the Issuer or Parent, initially at the Issuer's address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which
is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). 

        All
such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail,
postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery. 

        Copies
of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture. 

        (d)    Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors,
assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders;  provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit
any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Qualification Securities in violation of the
terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Qualification Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Qualification
Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Qualification Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by
and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive
the benefits hereof. The Representatives, Initial Purchasers and Sub-Purchasers (in their respective capacities as Representatives, Initial Purchasers and Sub-Purchasers) shall
have no liability or obligation to the Issuer and the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under
this Agreement. 

        (e)    Purchases and Sales of Securities.    The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not, and shall use their best efforts
to cause their affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to, purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Securities. 

        (f)    Third Party Beneficiary.    The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder
between the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers and Sub-Purchasers, on the other hand, and each of them shall have the right to enforce such agreements
directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders, Initial Purchasers or Sub-Purchasers, respectively hereunder. 

        (g)    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

        (h)    Judgment Currency.    The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to
conversion of currency in the case of this Agreement. 

          (i)  If,
for the purposes of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court, it becomes necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than
Canadian dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of 

15

 

exchange
used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. could purchase Canadian dollars with such other currency in the city of Toronto on
the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Issuer in respect of any sum due from it to any Initial Purchaser, Sub-Purchaser or Holder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Canadian dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day following receipt by such Initial Purchaser, Sub-Purchaser or Holder
of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Initial Purchaser, Sub-Purchaser or Holder may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency. 

         (ii)  The
Issuer and each Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Initial Purchasers, Sub-Purchasers, each Holder and each other Indemnified Party against any
loss incurred by any of them as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under this Agreement and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in the judgment
currency and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Canadian dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or
order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in the city of Toronto at which the Issuer or such Guarantor on the date of payment of judgment or order is able to purchase Canadian dollars with the
amount of the judgment currency actually paid by the Issuer or such Guarantor. The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.
The term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Canadian dollars. 

        (i)    Headings.    The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this
Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 

        (j)    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

        (k)    Severability.    In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application
thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the Sub-Purchasers shall endeavour in good faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions. 

        (l)    Miscellaneous.    This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. 

16

   
        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
