 ARTICLE II – OPTIONS 
 Section 2.1: Shares Available. The Board of Directors may from time to time grant and may delegate to the Compensation Committee authority to grant, in accordance with this Plan,
Options to purchase Shares provided that the number of Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan shall not exceed 10,300,000 Shares (but subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof). The Compensation Committee may from time to time
delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation the authority to allocate Options among non-management employees within such terms of reference and scope as are determined by the Compensation Committee. 

Section 2.2: Option Price. The price (expressed either in the currency of Canada or of the United States of America, as may be
determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee) at which Shares may be purchased under any Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee or
by the Compensation Committee (if so authorized by the Board of Directors), provided that the price per Share shall in no circumstances be less than the closing sale price of the Shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange (or on any other Stock Exchange
on which the Corporation’s Shares are then listed) on the last trading day prior to the effective date of grant of such Option and if there is no such closing price, then the price per Share shall be not less than the simple average of the
closing bid and ask prices on The Toronto Stock Exchange (or on any other Stock Exchange on which the Corporation’s Shares are then listed) of the Shares on the last trading day prior to the effective date of grant of such Option. In no
instance shall the effective date of grant be earlier than the actual date of grant.  
 Section 2.3: Adjustments. If
prior to the complete exercise of any Option there shall be declared and paid a stock dividend upon the Shares of the Corporation or if such Shares shall be consolidated or subdivided or converted, exchanged or reclassified, or in any way
substituted for, including without limitation, pursuant to an amalgamation, arrangement or merger, then the Option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall entitle the Optionee upon the future exercise of the Option to such number and
kind of securities or other property, subject to the terms of the Option, to which the Optionee would have been entitled had the Optionee actually owned the Shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Option at the time of the occurrence of
such stock dividend, consolidation, conversion, subdivision, exchange, reclassification or substitution; and the aggregate purchase price upon the future exercise of the Option shall be the same as if originally optioned Shares of the Corporation
were being purchased hereunder. If any such event should occur, the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan shall be similarly adjusted. 

  
 - 3 -

 Section 2.4: Expiry of Options. If any Option shall expire or terminate for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares subject thereto may again be used for the purposes of the Plan. 

Section 2.5: Time of Issuance of Options. The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of
Directors) may at any time and from time to time grant Options pursuant to this Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Section 2.7, nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the granting of Options at different times to the
same person.  
 Section 2.6: Persons Eligible. Persons eligible to receive Options shall be directors, officers and
employees of or Consultants to the Corporation or of any Subsidiary who demonstrate the potential of becoming key personnel of, or performing valuable services for, the Corporation and/or a Subsidiary, in each case as the Board of Directors, on the
recommendation of the Compensation Committee or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors), may determine. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, no Options may be granted to Insiders if such Options, together with any other Share
Compensation Arrangements could result in: 
  

	(i)	the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Share Compensation Arrangements and issuable to Insiders collectively exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Issue; or

  

	(ii)	the issuance to Insiders pursuant to Share Compensation Arrangements, collectively within the 12 months immediately preceding or 12 months immediately following the
date of grant of such Options, of a number of Shares exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Issue. 

 Section 2.7: Number of
Shares to be Optioned. The number of Shares to be optioned to any person shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors) in its sole discretion, except as hereafter
provided. Each director of the Corporation who is not also an employee of the Corporation or of a Subsidiary shall be entitled to receive a one-time initial grant of Options in respect of 100,000 Shares upon becoming a member of the Board of
Directors. Thereafter each such non-employee director will be entitled to receive an annual grant of Options in respect of 25,000 Shares (and no more). The annual grant of Options to such directors will be made at the meeting of the Board of
Directors held on the day of the annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation unless such day is within a Trading Blackout, whereupon such grant of Options will be made on the first business day following the cessation of the Trading Blackout.

 Section 2.8: Form of Options. An Option Agreement, in the form or substantially in the form set out in the schedule
hereto, signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, shall be issued to each person to whom an Option is granted. 

  
 - 4 -

 Section 2.9: Assignability of Options. Options and all rights thereunder may be assigned and
transferred by the Optionee upon written notice to the Corporation to the following persons: 
  

	 	(a)	a trustee, custodian or administrator acting on behalf of, or for the benefit of the Optionee; 

 

	 	(b)	a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (“RRSP”) or a Registered Retirement Income Fund (“RRIF”) of the Optionee; 

 

	 	(c)	a “holding entity” of the Optionee, as defined in NI 45-106; 

  

	 	(d)	a spouse of the Optionee; 

  

	 	(e)	a trustee, custodian or administrator acting on behalf of, or for the benefit of the spouse of the Optionee; 

 

	 	(f)	a holding entity of the spouse of the Optionee, as defined in NI 45-106; 

  

	 	(g)	a RRSP or a RRIF of the spouse of the Optionee; and 

  

	 	(h)	to the legal personal representatives of a deceased Optionee, as provided in Section 3.6 hereof. 

Except as hereinbefore provided, the Options and all rights thereunder shall be non-assignable and non-transferable by the Optionee and may not be
pledged, hypothecated, charged or otherwise encumbered. 
 Section 2.10: Foreign Participants. In order to assure the viability of
Options granted to Optionees employed in foreign countries, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or
custom. Moreover, the Board of Directors may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan
as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall amend the Plan or any Option in a manner requiring shareholder approval under Section 7.1(b) unless such
shareholder approval is obtained. 
 ARTICLE III – EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

Section 3.1: Term and Vesting. The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee or the Compensation
Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors), shall determine the term during which each Option may be exercised (the last day of such term is herein referred to as the “Normal Expiry Date”) provided however that such term shall not
exceed ten (10) years, subject to earlier termination as herein provided. The Board of 

  
 - 5 -

 
Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors), shall determine at the time of grant the extent to which
any Option may be exercised during the term of the Option. In the absence of such determination by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee: 
  

	 	(a)	An Option granted to a member of the Board of Directors shall vest and be exercisable immediately following the grant of such Option; and 

 

	 	(b)	An Option granted to any person other than a member of the Board of Directors, shall not vest and shall not be exercisable during the first year following the date of
grant. 25% of the shares underlying such Option shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder shall vest and become exercisable in 36 equal monthly installments, such that the Option will, in the
absence of an earlier termination pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, be fully vested and fully exercisable 48 months following the grant date of the Option. 

 Section 3.2: How Exercisable. An Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee from time to time by notice in writing to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the
Corporation (or such other person as the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors) may from time to time appoint for purposes of receiving same) specifying the number of Shares to be purchased under
such Option and accompanied by full payment, in the manner provided in Section 3.3, of the purchase price for the Shares to be issued. 

Section 3.3: Consideration. The Compensation Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the
form of payment (including, without limitation: (a) cash, (b) Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Compensation Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a fair market value on the date
of delivery equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Shares to be issued, or (iii) other property acceptable to the Compensation Committee, including through the delivery of a notice that the Optionee has placed a market sell order with a
broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Corporation in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that
payment of such proceeds is then made to the Corporation upon settlement of such sale), and the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to the Optionee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no
Optionee who is a member of the Board or an “executive officer” of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option, or continue any extension of credit
with respect to the exercise price of an Option with a loan from the Corporation or a loan arranged by the Corporation in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. 
 Section 3.4: Issuance of Shares. The Optionee shall be entitled to be entered in the Share register of the Corporation, as of the day on which the Corporation receives the notice and
payment referred to in Section 3.2, and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, to receive a 

  
 - 6 -

 
certificate or certificates for the said number of Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised. 
 Section 3.5: Termination of Options. Any Option not exercised with the period fixed for its exercise shall terminate and become void and of no effect. 

Section 3.6: Cessation of Employment or Termination of Consulting Arrangements. If an Optionee ceases to be a director, officer or
employee of or a Consultant to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, for any reason whatsoever, including death, then unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors), all
Options held by such Optionee shall cease to vest on the effective date on which such Optionee ceased to be a director, officer or employee of or a Consultant to the Corporation or a Subsidiary and all Options held by such Optionee shall terminate
and cease to be exercisable at the close of business on the day which is ninety (90) days following the earliest to occur of: 
  

	(i)	the effective date on which the Optionee ceased to be a director, officer or employee of or a Consultant to the Corporation or a Subsidiary; and

  

	(ii)	the date that notice of dismissal from such office, employment or retainer is given to such director, officer or employee of or Consultant to the Corporation or
Subsidiary. 

 The Optionee, or the legal personal representative of a deceased Optionee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to
exercise any Options during the period set out above but only to the extent that such Options had vested and the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Options at the effective date on which the Optionee ceased to be a director, officer or employee
of or a Consultant to the Corporation or a Subsidiary. For greater certainty, no Option may be exercised after the Normal Expiry Date except as provided in Section 3.7 hereof. An Optionee who takes a leave of absence approved by the Board of
Directors or the Compensation Committee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an officer or employee for purposes of this Section 3.6. 

Section 3.7: Expiry During Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and Section 3.6, no Option shall
terminate and cease to be exercisable, whether as a result of the occurrence of the Normal Expiry Date or as a result of an Optionee ceasing to be a director, officer or employee of or a Consultant to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, prior to the
fifth business day following the cessation of any restricted trading period imposed by the Corporation by which directors, officers and employees of the Corporation are prohibited from trading in securities of the Corporation (a “Trading
Blackout”) then in effect and if a Trading Blackout is not then in effect, prior to the fifth business day following cessation of the most recent Trading Blackout. 
 ARTICLE IV – LIMITATIONS 
 Section 4.1: Limitation. The
Corporation’s obligation to issue Shares in accordance with the terms of this Plan is subject to compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of all public agencies and authorities applicable to the issuance and distribution of such Shares
and to the listing of such Shares on any Stock Exchange on which the Shares of the Corporation may be listed. Each Optionee, as a condition of the grant of an Option to such Optionee, agrees to

comply with all such laws, rules and regulations and agrees to furnish to the Corporation all information and such undertakings as may be required to permit compliance with such laws, rules and
regulations. 
 ARTICLE V – U.S. OPTIONEE 
 Section 5.1: U.S. Optionee. Any Option granted under this Plan to a U.S. Optionee may be an ISO, but only if so designated by the Corporation in the agreement evidencing such Option. No
provision of this Plan, as it may be applied to a U.S. Optionee, shall be construed so as to be inconsistent with any provision of Section 422 of the Code. Grants of Options to U.S. Optionees which are not ISOs may be granted pursuant to
Section 2 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan contained to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to incentive stock options granted to each U.S. Optionee: 

 

	 	(a)	ISOs shall only be granted to U.S. Optionees who, at the time of grant, are officers, employees or directors of the Corporation or a Subsidiary (provided, for purposes
of this Article V only, such directors are then also officers or employees of the Corporation). Any director of the Corporation who is a U.S. Optionee shall be ineligible to vote upon the granting of such Option; 

 

	 	(b)	the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the ISO is granted) of the Shares subject to ISOs exercisable for the first time by a U.S. Optionee during
any calendar year under this Plan and all other stock option plans, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, of the Corporation or a Subsidiary shall not exceed U.S. $100,000; provided that options for Shares which exceed such aggregate
fair market value shall not be void, but shall instead be options which are granted under Section 2 hereof and are not ISOs; 

  

	 	(c)	the purchase price for Shares under each ISO granted to a U.S. Optionee pursuant to this Plan shall be as determined in Section 2.2 and, in any event, shall be not
less than the fair market value of such Shares at the time the Option is granted, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (if authorized by the Board of Directors) at such time; 

 

	 	(d)	if any U.S. Optionee to whom an ISO is to be granted under the Plan at the time of the grant of such ISO is the owner of shares possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Corporation, then the following special provisions shall be applicable to the ISO granted to such individual: 

 

	 	(i)	the purchase price per Share subject to such ISO shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of one Share at the time of grant; and 

 

	 	(ii)	for the purposes of Article V only, the ISO exercise period shall not exceed 5 years from the date of grant; 

  
 - 8 -

	 	(e)	no ISO may be granted hereunder to a U.S. Optionee following the expiry of 10 years after the date on which this Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors or the date
the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Corporation, whichever is earlier; and 

  

	 	(f)	no ISO granted to a U.S. Optionee under the Plan shall become exercisable unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.

 ARTICLE VI – CHANGE OF CONTROL 
 Section 6.1: Acceptance of Offer. If a bona fide offer (the “Offer”) for Shares is made to shareholders of the Corporation generally, or to a class of shareholders of
the Corporation which, if Options were exercised, would include Optionees, and the Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in a Change of Control and if the Board of Directors recommends to shareholders of the Corporation to accept such
Offer and/or to vote in favor of the Offer then, provided such recommendation is not withdrawn and notwithstanding Section 3.1 but subject to the other provisions hereof: 

 

	 	(a)	Any Options which are outstanding although not yet exercisable at the time such recommendation is made by the Board of Directors shall automatically become exercisable
on the date such recommendation is made in the manner hereinafter provided. 

  

	 	(b)	If any Options become so exercisable upon the recommendation by the Board of Directors to accept or vote in favor of an Offer, the Corporation shall, promptly after
such recommendation has been given, notify each Optionee currently holding an Option of the Offer, with full particulars thereof, together with a notice stating that, in order to permit the Optionee to participate in the Offer, the Optionee may,
during the period that the Offer is open for acceptance, exercise all or any portion of any such Option held by the Optionee. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event that the Optionee so exercises any such Option, such exercise shall be in accordance with Article III hereof; provided that, if necessary in order to
permit the Optionee to participate in the Offer, such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the issuance of Shares received upon such exercise (the “Optioned Shares”) shall be deemed to have occurred, effective as of the first
day prior to the earlier of the date on which the Offer was made and the date such recommendation was made. 

  

	 	(d)	 If: (i) the Offer is not completed (within the time specified therein, if applicable); or (ii) all of the Optioned Shares tendered by the
Optionee pursuant to the Offer are not taken up and paid for by the offeror in respect thereof, then the Optioned Shares or, in the case of (ii) above, the portion thereof that are not taken up and paid for by such offeror, shall be returned by
the Optionee to the Corporation for

cancellation and the terms of the Option as set forth herein shall again apply to such Option, or the remaining portion thereof, as the case may be.

of such Optioned Shares. 

 Section 6.2: Receipt of Offer. If a bona fide Offer for Shares is made to
shareholders of the Corporation generally, or to a class of shareholders of the Corporation which, if Options were exercised, would include Optionees, and the Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in a Change of Control then,
notwithstanding Section 3.1 but subject to the other provisions hereof: 
  

	 	(a)	The Board of Directors may give its express consent to the exercise of any Options which are outstanding although not yet exercisable at the time of the Offer in the
manner hereinafter provided. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Board of Directors has so consented to the exercise of any Options outstanding at the time of the Offer, the Corporation shall, promptly after such consent has
been given, notify each Optionee currently holding an Option of the Offer, with full particulars thereof, together with a notice stating that, in order to permit the Optionee to participate in the Offer, the Optionee may, during the period that the
Offer is open for acceptance, exercise all or any portion of any such Option held by the Optionee. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event that the Optionee so exercises any such Option, such exercise shall be in accordance with Article III hereof; provided that, if necessary in order to
permit the Optionee to participate in the Offer, such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the issuance of Optioned Shares shall be deemed to have occurred, effective as of the first day prior to the date on which the Offer was made.

  

	 	(d)	If: (i) the Offer is not completed (within the time specified therein, if applicable) or (ii) all of the Optioned Shares tendered by the Optionee pursuant to
the Offer are not taken up and paid for by the offeror in respect thereof, then the Optioned Shares or, in the case of (ii) above, the portion thereof that are not taken up and paid for by such offeror, shall be returned by the Optionee to the
Corporation for cancellation and the terms of the Option as set forth herein shall again apply to such Option, or the remaining portion thereof, as the case may be. 

 

	 	(e)	If any Optioned Shares are returned to the Corporation pursuant to subsection (d) above, the Corporation shall refund the option price to the Optionee in respect
of such Optioned Shares. 

 Section 6.3: Change of Control. If a transaction occurs that is not otherwise
contemplated by this Article VI, and such transaction would, upon consummation, result in a Change of Control, then, notwithstanding Section 3.1 but subject to the other provisions hereof, any Options which

  
 - 10 -

 
are outstanding although not yet exercisable at the time such transaction is consummated shall automatically become exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 ARTICLE VII – AMENDMENT AND INTERPRETATION 
 Section 7.1: Amendment and Discontinuance. 
  

	 	(a)	The Board of Directors may: (i) discontinue the Plan at any time except that such discontinuance may not alter or impair any Option previously granted to an
Optionee under the Plan; and (ii) subject to any necessary approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other Stock Exchange on which the Shares may then be listed and subject to subsection (b) hereof, from time to time amend the Plan in
its absolute discretion without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders. 

  

	 	(b)	The Corporation’s shareholders shall approve any amendment to the Plan or any Option which: (i) reduces the exercise price of an Option either directly, or

 WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuers are authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the New Guarantor, Holdings, the Issuers, and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Defined Terms. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined,
except that the term “Holders” in this Note Guarantee shall refer to the term “Holders” as defined in the Indenture and the Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of such Holders. The words “herein,”
“hereof” and hereby and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof. 

 

	 	2.	Agreement to Guarantee. The New Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all existing Note Guarantors (if any), to unconditionally guarantee the
Issuers’ obligations under the Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 11 of the Indenture and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and to perform all of the
obligations and agreements of a Note Guarantor under the Indenture. 

  

	 	3.	 Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects
ratified and confirmed and all the terms, 

	 	
conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of Securities heretofore
or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby. 

  

	 	4.	Notices. All notices or other communications to the New Guarantor shall be given as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture. 

 

	 	5.	Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (AND EXCLUDING ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE EXPRESSED TO BE SUBJECT TO ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

  

	 	a.	Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Supplemental Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby
(“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New
York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(a) each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of
any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any
objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party not located in the United States irrevocably appoints Pinafore, LLC (now known as Tomkins, LLC) as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding
that may be instituted in any Specified Court. The Trustee reserves the right to bring an action in any court that has jurisdiction over the trust estate, which may be a court other than the Specified Courts, when seeking a direction from a court in
the administration of the trust estate. 

  

	 	b.	Waiver of Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity
(whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any suits,
actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of
competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended. 

  
 2 

	 	c.	Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S.
dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee, acting on behalf of and for the benefit of
the Holders, could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Issuers and each Note Guarantor in respect of any sum due from them
to the Trustee shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Trustee of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only
to the extent that) the Trustee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder, the
Issuers and each Note Guarantor agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Trustee and the Holders against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the
Trustee and the Holders hereunder, the Trustee agrees to deliver to the Issuers and the Note Guarantors (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Trustee and the
Holders hereunder. 

  

	 	6.	Trustee Makes No Representation. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture. 

 

	 	7.	Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent
the same agreement. 

  

	 	8.	Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction thereof.
