 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. 

6.90% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2042 
 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC., a Florida corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the principal sum of THREE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS on March 15, 2042 (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to that date). The Company shall pay
interest on such principal amount at the rate of 6.90% per annum, until payment of such principal amount has been made or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on June 15, 2012, and at the stated maturity or earlier redemption or repayment (the “Maturity Date”). If
the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the next preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes,
from March 7, 2012 (the “Original Issue Date”). 

 Interest on this Note shall accrue from the Original Issue Date until the principal amount
is paid or duly provided for. Interest (including payments for partial periods) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date shall include
interest accrued from, and including, the preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) to, but
excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal of or interest payable with respect to the
Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the succeeding Business Day, except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on the Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date, and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of that postponement. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as this Note) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day. As long as this Note is in book-entry only form, the regular record date shall be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding such Interest Payment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of
the Indenture, this Note is no longer in book-entry only form, the record date shall be the close of business on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 preceding an Interest Payment Date. “Business Day”
means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York or St. Petersburg, Florida and that is not a day on which banking institutions in those cities are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed. 

The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Company designated as provided in the Indenture. However, interest may be paid, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the person
entitled thereto at his address last appearing on the registry books of the Company relating to the Notes. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, payments of principal of and interest payable on the Maturity Date shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to a designated account maintained in the United States upon (i) receipt of written notice by the Issuing and Paying Agent (as described on the reverse hereof) from the registered holder hereof not less than one
Business Day prior to the due date of such principal and (ii) presentation of this Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent, at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York, 10286. Any interest not
punctually paid or duly provided for shall be payable as provided in such Indenture. 
 References herein to “U.S.
dollars,” “U.S.$,” or “$” are to the coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. 

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though
fully set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee (as described
on the reverse hereof) or by an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under such Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed, by manual or
facsimile signature, under its corporate seal or a facsimile thereof.

Company, the Trustee, and the holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The series of which this Note is a part also is designated as the Company’s 6.90% Senior Notes due 2042

 SECTION 2. No Sinking Fund. This Note is not subject to any sinking fund. 

SECTION 3. Redemption and Repayment. The Company may, at its option, and subject to the terms and conditions of Article 3 of the
Indenture and Section 2.6 of the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 7, 2012 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), redeem the Notes of this Series, in whole or in part at any time on or after March 15, 2017 and
prior to the Maturity Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of
interest on the Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the holders of the Notes as of the close of business on the relevant record date
according to the Notes and the Indenture. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days

redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes shall be selected by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems appropriate. 
 SECTION 4. Defeasance. The provisions of Article 14 of the Indenture do not apply to the Notes of this Series. 
 SECTION 5. Events of Default. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture as (i) an Event of Default as defined under Section 6.01(a), (b), (c), (d) or
(e) of the Indenture, or (ii) an event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture, or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of the Company or any Principal
Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) for money borrowed, whether such indebtedness currently exists or shall be created in the future, which has occurred and has resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable) shall
occur with respect to the Notes, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

 SECTION 6. Modifications and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with
certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the holders
of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding and all other Securities then outstanding under the Indenture and affected by such amendment and modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding and all other Securities then outstanding under the Indenture and affected thereby, on behalf of the holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any
indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, or director, as such, past, present, or future, of the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute, or rule of

SECTION 8. Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only as registered Notes without coupons in the denominations of

different authorized denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 
 SECTION 9. Registration of
Transfer. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register or registry of the Company relating to the Notes, upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company designated by it pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee or the Security
Registrar duly executed by, the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global
Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof.

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 Company 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 premium, if any) and
interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company 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 Company, an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is
replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of
the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 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 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 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 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other
than the Company, 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 2.09 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 Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good
faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor
upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. 

  
 43 

 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company 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 Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
 The Company 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 dispose of cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company. The Company 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 Company 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 4.01 hereof. The Company 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, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The
Trustee 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. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of
or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, it being understood that as long as the Notes are held through DTC, the method of selection shall be determined by DTC in accordance with applicable
DTC procedures. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed 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. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in the amount of US$2,000 or whole multiples of US$1,000 in excess
thereof; no Notes of US$1,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of US$1,000, shall be redeemed. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 
 Subject to Section 3.09
hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof) the
Company 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; 

  
 45 

 (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;

 (e) that Notes called for
redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

printed on the Notes. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s

 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, 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. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all

accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding
paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest 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 

  
 46 

 
for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal,
from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new

accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if the Company has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the

entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, 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; 

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount required
pursuant to Section 4.10, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased pursuant to Section 3.02 (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of US$2,000, or integral multiples
of US$1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and 
 (ix) 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). 
 (e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has 

  
 49 

 
been tendered, all Notes tendered, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Offer Amount in respect of all Notes, or portions thereof; properly tendered, and (3) shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09.

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 Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon
written request from the Company 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 Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on the Purchase Date. 
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, and within 90 days after the end of each fiscal quarter (other than the fourth fiscal quarter) ending after

accounting period); 

  

	 	(ii)	100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of property received by the Company as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the

the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary; and 

  

	 	(iv)	with respect to Investments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, an amount equal to the net reduction in such Investments in any
Person (except, in each case, to the extent any such amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income), resulting from the payment to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of dividends, loans or advances or from the receipt of net
cash proceeds from the sale of any such Investment or from the release of any Guarantee (except to the extent any amounts are paid under such Guarantee). 

In determining the amount of any Restricted Payment, cash distributed or invested shall be valued at the face amount
thereof and Property other than cash shall be valued at its Fair Market Value.

notice of such redemption was given, if at said date of the giving of such notice, such redemption would comply with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) the making of any Restricted Payment made in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of shares of Capital Stock
of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital Stock); provided that any such net cash proceeds are excluded from clause (3)(ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph for the purposes of this calculation (and were not included therein
at any time); 
 (3) the redemption, repayment or retirement of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor
subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as the case may be, in exchange for, by conversion into, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent sale or incurrence of Indebtedness of the Company or such
Guarantor, as the case may be (other than any Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Subsidiary), that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as the case may be, to at least the same extent as
the Indebtedness being redeemed, repaid or retired; 

  
 54 

 (4) the retirement of any shares of Disqualified Capital Stock of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary by conversion into, or by exchange for, other shares of Disqualified Capital Stock of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a
Restricted Subsidiary) of other shares of Disqualified Capital Stock of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (5) (x) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of shares of Capital Stock of the Company held by employees, officers or directors (or their estates or beneficiaries under their
estates) of the Company, provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid pursuant to this clause (8)(x) does not exceed $2.0 million per year subsequent to the Issue Date; and (y) the purchase, redemption, acquisition or other
retirement for nominal value of any rights issued in accordance with this Indenture and granted pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;

 (9) payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law in connection with a
merger, amalgamation, consolidation or transfer of assets that complies with the provisions described under Section 5.01;

this Indenture;

time of or immediately after giving effect to such action, payment of up to 6% of the net proceeds received by the Company in connection with the initial public offering of its Capital Stock; 

(12) payments or distributions of Capital Stock or assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

In calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date for purposes of clause (3) of this
Section 4.07, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (1) (but only if the declaration thereof has not been counted in a prior period), and (5) of this paragraph shall be included in such calculation and clauses (2), (3), (4), (6), (7),
(8), (9), (10), (11), (12) and (13) of this paragraph shall not be included in such calculation. 
 For the avoidance
of doubt, an increase or decrease in the stated capital of the Company shall not constitute a Restricted Payment.

 The Company will not, and will
not cause or 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 to:

comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and (ii) either (x) the Company determines that such encumbrance or restriction will not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make principal and interest payments
on the Notes as and when they come due or (x) such encumbrances and restrictions apply only during the continuance of a default in respect of a payment or financial maintenance covenant relating to such Indebtedness; 

(l) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described under Section 4.12; 

(m) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of
business; or 
 (n) any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an
agreement referred to above; provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, not materially more
restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements being so amended, restated, modified, renewed, supplemented, refunded, replaced or refinanced.

 Section 4.09 Limitation on Additional Indebtedness. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur (as defined
in Section 1.01), any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, any Acquired Indebtedness); provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness) if the Company’s
Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at least 2.0 to 1. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items of
Indebtedness may be incurred (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”): 
 (i) Indebtedness of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary arising under or in connection with Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (1) $75.0 million less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset
Sales applied by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture to repay any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility and effect a
corresponding commitment reduction pursuant to the covenant described under Section 4.10 and (2) the sum of (x) 85.0% of the net book value of accounts receivable of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of
incurrence after giving pro forma effect to acquisitions at or prior to such time and (y) 60.0% of the net book value of inventory of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of incurrence after giving pro forma effect to
acquisitions at or prior to such time; 
 (ii) Indebtedness under the Notes and any Guarantees to be issued on the Issue
Date, and the Exchange Notes and any Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; 

(iii) Indebtedness (other than pursuant to clause (i) and (ii) of this definition) which is outstanding on the Issue Date;

 (iv) Indebtedness of the Company owed to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary which is unsecured and subordinated in
right of payment to the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided
that: 
 (1) any sale or other disposition of any Indebtedness (other than the granting of a Lien
permitted under this Indenture, but excluding the forfeiture of such Indebtedness) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary referred to in this clause (iv) to a Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); 

(2) any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock (other than the granting of a Lien permitted under this Indenture,
but excluding the forfeiture of such Capital Stock) of any Restricted Subsidiary which holds Indebtedness of the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary such that such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary; and 

(3) the Designation of a Restricted Subsidiary that holds Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; 

  
 58 

 shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness
by the issuer of such Indebtedness; 
 (v) Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capitalized Lease Obligations incurred to
acquire, construct or improve Property (including shares of Capital Stock of a Person holding such Property) in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed, together with all other Indebtedness
outstanding under this clause (v), including Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, at the time of any such incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, 7.5% of the consolidated tangible assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter after giving pro forma effect thereto for which consolidated financial statements are available ending on or prior to the date of determination; 

(vi) Interest Rate Agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not incurred for speculative
purposes as determined in good faith by the Company; 
 (vii) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements or Commodity
Agreements not incurred for speculative purposes as determined in good faith by the Company; 
 (viii) Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of reimbursement obligations relating to undrawn standby letters of credit issued for the account of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business;

 (ix) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of bid, performance, surety and appeal bonds,

 (x) additional
Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary not to exceed $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding; 
 (xi) Refinancing Indebtedness; 
 (xii) the guarantee by the Company or
any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; 
 (xiii) 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 Capital Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in
the Consolidated Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued; 
 (xiv) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
consisting of guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets, including, without limitation, Capital Stock; 

  
 59 

 (xv) Indebtedness of Persons incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person was
acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, merger or
consolidation); provided, however, that at the time such Person or assets is/are acquired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or merged or consolidated with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and after giving pro forma effect to
the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (xv) and any other related Indebtedness, either (i) the Company would have been able to incur US$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 4.09; or (ii) the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be greater than or equal to such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation; 

(xvi) the incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or
to satisfy and discharge the Notes; and 
 (xvii) the incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business;
provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within 30 days of incurrence. 
 (b) For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xvii) of such
definition, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant.

 (c) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness, (x) guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect
to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included, and (y) any Liens granted pursuant to the equal and ratable provisions referred to in Section 4.12 shall
not be treated as Indebtedness. 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any Canadian dollar-denominated restriction
on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Canadian dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the
earlier of the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness
denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Canadian dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Canadian
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 Refinancing
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

  
 60 

 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant and for the avoidance of doubt, the
maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies which occur
subsequent to the date that such Indebtedness was incurred as permitted by this covenant. 
 Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale in any single transaction
or series of related transactions unless: 
 (i) The Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration (including release of liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of
cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets, in each case received at the time of such sale or other disposition. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(1) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet,
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation
agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and 
 (2) any
securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash or Cash
Equivalents received in that conversion; 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale,
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option: 
  

	 	(i)	to repay term or revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility (other than any such Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes) and, if
the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

  

	 	(ii)	to repay, redeem or repurchase any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary; 

 

	 	(iii)	 to reduce obligations under other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (in each case other than any Disqualified Capital Stock or any

  
 61 

	 	
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor which is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, and other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company); provided that the Company shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes in compliance with the provisions described under Section 3.07, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases
are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount
of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or 

  

	 	(iv)	to purchase Replacement Assets or make a capital expenditure; a binding commitment to make a purchase or capital expenditure referred to in this clause (iv) shall
be treated as a permitted application of Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided, that (1) such purchase or capital expenditure is consummated within 180 days of the end of the 365-day period referred to in the first
sentence of this paragraph and (2) if such purchase or capital expenditure is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (1) or such binding commitment is terminated, the Net Proceeds not so applied will be deemed to be
Excess Proceeds (as defined below). 

 Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds US$20.0 million, the Company will 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 provisions similar to those set forth in this
Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem such indebtedness with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.
In the Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall offer an asset sale payment in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Payment”).
If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes
and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company will select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) Any Asset Sale Offer shall be
made in accordance with Section 3.09. 
 (e) The Company 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 

  
 62 

 
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
Sections 4.10 or 3.09 of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such conflict. 

Section 4.11 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 
 (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions
(including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate (each an “Affiliate Transaction”) or extend, renew, waive or otherwise modify the terms of any Affiliate
Transaction entered into prior to the Issue Date unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is between or among the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (ii) the terms of such Affiliate
Transaction are at least as favorable as the terms which could be obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arm’s-length basis between unaffiliated parties. 

(b) In any Affiliate Transaction (or any series of related Affiliate Transactions) involving an amount or having a Fair Market Value in
excess of $10.0 million which is not permitted under clause (i) of Section 4.11(a), the Company must obtain a resolution of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company certifying that they have approved such
Affiliate Transaction and determined that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (ii) of Section 4.11(a). In addition, in any Affiliate Transaction (or any series of related Affiliate Transactions) involving an amount or having a
Fair Market Value in excess of $20.0 million which is not permitted under clause (i) of Section 4.11(a), the Company must obtain a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor that such transaction or transactions are fair to the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view or comply with Section 4.11(a)(ii) above; provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply to the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of
business. 
 (c) The foregoing provisions will not apply to: 

(1) any Permitted Investment or Restricted Payment made in compliance with the provisions described under
Section 4.07 above; 
 (2) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on behalf of
officers, directors or employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or senior management; 

(3) transactions pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date, or any amendment, modification,
or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than
the original agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date; 

  
 63 

 (4) sales of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital
Stock) to Affiliates of the Company; 
 (5) the pledge of Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to
support the Indebtedness thereof; 
 (6) customary shareholders and registration rights agreements among the
Company and its shareholders; 
 (7) agreements providing for the provision of administrative, treasury,
accounting, management or other similar corporate services or engineering or similar services by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to an Affiliate; provided that any such agreement shall (i) have terms that are not materially less
favorable taken as a whole to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than agreements of such Person with an Affiliate providing for similar services as in effect on the Issue Date or (ii) comply with the requirements of the first paragraph
of this Section 4.11; 
 (8) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely
because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock in, or controls, such Person; 
 (9) transactions under agreements or arrangements with customers or suppliers on terms at least as favorable as the terms which could be obtained by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arm’s length basis between unaffiliated parties; and 

(10) an increase or decrease in the stated capital of the Company. 

Section 4.12 Limitation on Liens. 
 The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to, create, incur or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Liens of any
kind securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon or with respect to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Initial Lien”), unless (i) if such Lien secures Indebtedness
which is ranked equally and ratably with the Notes or any Guarantee, then the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer
secured by a Lien or (ii) if such Lien secures Indebtedness which is subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee, then the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, are secured and the Lien securing such other Indebtedness shall be
subordinated to the Lien granted to the holders of the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Lien securing the Notes or any Guarantee granted pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release by the holders of the Indebtedness described above of the Initial
Lien on the property or assets of the Company or 

  
 64 

 
any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) any sale or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock
held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all the assets of, the Restricted Subsidiary creating such Initial Lien (so long as no Lien attaches to any assets received in consideration for such sale or transfer).

 Section 4.13 Payments for Consent. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any cash consideration to any Holder of any Notes for 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 or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Notes which so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any offer or payment of consideration for any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes in connection with
an exchange offer, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries may exclude (i) Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes that are not institutional “accredited investors” as defined in subparagraphs (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of
Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and (ii) Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes in any jurisdiction where the inclusion of such Holders or beneficial owners would require the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the
registration requirements or other similar requirements under any securities laws of such jurisdiction, or the solicitation of such consent, waiver or amendment from, or the granting of such consent or waiver, or the approval of such amendment by,
Holders or beneficial owners in such jurisdiction would be unlawful, in each case as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

Section 4.14 Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or
other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and
statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof
is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 4.15 Change of Control. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Company has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the
Notes in compliance with the provisions of Article 3 above, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to US$2,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess
thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, thereon, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control
Payment”). 

  
 65 

 (b) Any Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 3.09. The
Company 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 as a result of
a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Sections 3.09 or 4.15 of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to
have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such conflict. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 4.15, the Company 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 the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in Section 4.15 and Section 3.09 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control
Offer. 
 (d) The provisions under this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligations to make a Change of Control Offer
may be waived, modified or terminated prior to the occurrence of the triggering Change of Control with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

Section 4.16 Limitation on Subsidiaries. 
 If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries transfers or causes to be transferred any Property to, or organizes, acquires, invests in or otherwise holds an Investment in, any Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor having total consolidated assets with a book value in excess of $500,000, then such transferee or acquired or other Restricted Subsidiary shall (a) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture and
(b) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such
Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture. As of the Issue Date, the Company will have no Subsidiaries. 
 Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries 

The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a
Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Unrestricted Subsidiary properly designated
shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments. That designation shall only be
permitted if the Investment 

  
 66 

 
would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, no such designation may be made unless the proposed
Unrestricted Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock in any Restricted Subsidiary that is not simultaneously subject to designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default. 
 Section 4.18 Additional Amounts 

(a) All payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes, or by any Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantees, will be made free
and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by
or on behalf of the Government of Canada or of any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter, the “Taxes”), unless the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may
be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Company or any Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with
respect to the Notes, the Company or such Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after
such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a
Holder (an “Excluded Holder”) (i) with which the Company or such Guarantor does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of making such payment, (ii) which is subject to
such Taxes by reason of its being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than solely by reason of the Holder’s activity in connection with purchasing the Notes, by the mere holding of Notes or by reason of the
receipt of payments thereunder, (iii) which failed to duly and timely comply with a timely request of the Company to provide information, documents, certification or other evidence concerning such Holder’s nationality, residence,
entitlement to treaty benefits, identity or connection with Canada or any political subdivision or authority thereof, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request would have resulted in the reduction or elimination of any
Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder of Notes but for this clause (iii), (iv) which is a fiduciary, a partnership or not the beneficial owner of any payment on a Note, if and to the extent that
any beneficiary or settlor of such fiduciary, any partner in such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment (as the case may be) would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts with respect to such payment if such beneficiary,
settlor, partner or beneficial owner had been the Holder of such Note or (v) any combination of the foregoing numbered clauses of this proviso. The Company or such Guarantor will also (a) make such withholding or deduction and
(b) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) The
Company or the Guarantor shall furnish the Holders of the Notes, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or such Guarantor. The
Company or any Guarantor shall, upon written request of a Holder (other than an Excluded Holder), reimburse 

  
 67 

 
each such Holder for the amount of (x) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes, and (y) any Taxes so
levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (x) but excluding any such Taxes on such Holder’s net income so that the net amount received by such Holder (net of payments made under or with respect to the
Notes) after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the Holder would have received if Taxes on such reimbursement had not been imposed. 
 (c) At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if the Company or any Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect
to such payment, the Company or such Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to
enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. 
 (d) Whenever in this Indenture there is
mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, redemption price, Change of Control Payment, Asset Sale Payment, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 
 Section 4.19 Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 (a) If
the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall at any time act as Paying Agent hereunder, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any, on any of the Notes,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 (b) Whenever the Company shall have one
or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any, on any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds (or New York Clearing
House funds if such deposit is made prior to the date on which such deposit is required to be made) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest and the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act. 
 (c) The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section 4.19, that such Paying Agent shall: 
 (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any, on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

  
 68 

 (ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any; and 
 (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 

(d) The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose,
pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any, on any
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest and Special Interest, if any has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, unless an abandoned property law designates
another person, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the
written direction and at the expense of the Company, cause to be published once, in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal (national edition), the Globe and Mail and the National Post, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 4.20 Maintenance of Properties. 
 The Company shall cause all
properties owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonable wear and
tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business
carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.20 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the maintenance
of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, as determined by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in good faith, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders. 

  
 69 

 Section 4.21 Maintenance of Insurance. 

The Company shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep at all times all of their properties which are of an insurable
nature insured (which may include self-insurance) against loss or damage with insurers believed by the Company to be responsible to the extent that property of similar character is usually so insured or self-insured by corporations similarly
situated and owning like properties in accordance with customary business practices.

 Section 5.01
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. 
 (a) The Company will not consolidate with, amalgamate with, merge with or into,

such consolidation or amalgamation or into which the Company is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company are sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed of (in any case, the “Successor
Company”) shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof and the Successor Company shall expressly
assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and the obligations thereunder shall remain in full force and
effect; provided that if the Successor Company is not a corporation, a Restricted Subsidiary that is a corporation expressly assumes as co-obligor all of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to a
supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee in form satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(2) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction (including, without limitation, giving
effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and;

 70 

 provided, that clauses (2) and (3) do not apply (i) to the consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the Company with, into or to a Restricted Subsidiary or the consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance transfer or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary with, into or to the Company or
(ii) if, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the Company, the sole purpose of the transaction is to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company. 

(b) Upon the consummation of any transaction effected in accordance with this Section 5.01, if the Company is not the continuing
Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named
as the issuer in this Indenture. Upon such substitution, except in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of less than all its assets, the Company will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. 

(c) Subject to certain limitations governing releases of Guarantors described in Section 10.05, no Guarantor will, and the Company
will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate with, amalgamate with, merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one
transaction or a series of related transactions), to any Person unless either: 
 (1) (x) (i) such Guarantor
shall be the continuing Person, or (ii) the Person (if other than such Guarantor) formed by such consolidation or amalgamation or into which such Guarantor is merged or to which the properties and assets of such Guarantor are sold, assigned,
transferred, leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed of is another Guarantor or shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Guarantor

anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or 
 (2) the transaction does not violate the terms of Section 4.10. 
 (d) In
connection with any consolidation, merger or transfer of assets contemplated by this provision, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an officers’
certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with this provision and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
transaction or transactions have been complied with. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale
or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of 

  
 71 

 
one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer
of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 
 Section 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted.

 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
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, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Company
shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided
that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of
the Company’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 6. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01 Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 (a) Default in payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes when due (whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise); 

(b) Default in the payment of any interest on, or Special Interest with respect to, any Note when due, which Default continues for
30 days or more; 
 (c) Default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the observance or performance of any other
covenant in the Notes or this Indenture for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (except in the case of a Default with respect to (i) the
provisions of Sections 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 hereof, which shall constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement) and (ii) the provisions of Section 4.03 as described under clause
(d) of this paragraph; 
 (d) Default by the Company in the observance or performance of the covenants described under
Section 4.03 for 90 days after written notice from the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 

  
 72 

 (e) Default 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 the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such
Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default: 

(i) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 
 (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its expressed maturity, which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled, waived or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there is at such time a Payment
Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more and such Indebtedness has not been paid in full within 30 days of receipt of such notice; 

(f) any final judgment or judgments which can no longer be appealed for the payment of money in excess of $20.0 million (in excess
of amounts covered by insurance) shall be rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof, and shall not be discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect; 

(g) if the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a
petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy law; 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors; or 
 (v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due. 

(h) if a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries in a proceeding in which the Company or any
such Material Subsidiary is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 

  
 73 

 (ii) appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries; and the order or decree remains
unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 
 (i) any of the Guarantees of a Material Subsidiary ceases to be in full force
and effect or any of the Guarantees of a Material Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any of the Guarantees of a Material Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any of the Guarantors denies its liability under its Guarantee
(other than by reason of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture). 
 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 Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable and in any event within 10 business days after the Company’s knowledge thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Default under this Indenture, its status and what
action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with
respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon
any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clauses (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company or any of its
Material Subsidiaries all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf
of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if 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. 
 (b) If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or
inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 74 

 (c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Company or the Guarantors have paid or deposited with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay; 
  

	 	(A)	all overdue interest on all outstanding Notes; 

  

	 	(B)	all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any outstanding Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such
unpaid principal at the rate borne by the Notes; 

  

	 	(C)	to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, which has become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration; and 

  

	 	(D)	all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

 (ii) no such rescission would conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

 (iii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on
the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04. 
 No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the
preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be
automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the Holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge
or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the Holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such Holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in
respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day period which has not been cured or waived during such period. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

  
 75 

 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. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

 Holders of not less than 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 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 Special Interest, if any,
or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with a Repurchase Offer); provided 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 6.05 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 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 withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Special Interest. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 
 Subject to Section 6.07, 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 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 indemnity; and 

  
 76 

 (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 6.07 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 Special Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a Repurchase Offer), 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 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(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
Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or
any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 
 Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in
Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 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 

  
 77 

 
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. 
 Section 6.12 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, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of
any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason,
payment of the same shall be secured by a 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. 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 6.13 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant
to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (i) to the Trustee, its agents and
attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

(i) to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and Special Interest, 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 Special Interest, if any and interest, respectively; and 

(i) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if
applicable. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this
Section 6.13. 

  
 78 

 Section 6.14 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 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, 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 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE 7. 

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01
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, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, 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 7.01; 
 (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 

  
 79 

 (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 6.05 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), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 

(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 of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered 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 Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 7.02 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 Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ 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 Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the 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 or
attorney appointed with due care.

 80 

 (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 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) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event
of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Notes and this Indenture 
 (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee in each of their capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized
in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 Section 7.03 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 Company or
any Affiliate of the Company 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 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the
Company’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. 

  
 81 

 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee (or the Canadian Trustee, and provided that
the Trustee has complied with Section 2.05 hereof), the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes (and the Canadian Trustee shall mail to Holders shown in the Register to be resident in Canada) a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90
days after it occurs, in the case of a Default, or within 30 days after the Trustee becomes aware of the Event of Default, in the case of an Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on any Note, the Trustee or the Canadian 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 and the Trustee shall withhold the notice of any Default under Section 6.01(d) hereof until 30 days after notice under such section is given. 
 Section 7.06 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 mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that
complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee
shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on
any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as
the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Company agrees to indemnify each of the trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold them harmless against,
any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or
trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 7.07, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or bad faith. 

  
 82 

 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. 
 To secure the Company’s 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 satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) 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 § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.08 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.

 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company 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 Company 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 Company. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the
Company’s expense), the Company, or the Holders 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. 

  
 83 

 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder 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 Company. 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. 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 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall
be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation 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 trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
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 § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 Section 7.11
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee. 
 It is the purpose of this
Indenture that: (a) for so long as the Company remains governed by the provisions of the ABCA, this Indenture will comply with the requirements of Division 1 of Part 7 of the ABCA, including the requirement that at least one of the trustees
hereunder be a “trust corporation” within the meaning applicable under the ABCA (referred to in Sections 2.05, 7.05 and this Section 7.12 as the “Canadian Trustee”), unless and until the Company obtains an order under
applicable law exempting it from such requirement; and (b) there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction.
It is recognized that in the case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or 

  
 84 

 
in the case the Trustee or the Canadian Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to the
Trustee or the Canadian Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as
a separate or co-trustee in addition to any Canadian Trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends. 
 It is understood that the responsibilities of the Canadian Trustee shall be limited in all events to performing only such functions as are specified herein or in such instrument of appointment to be
performed by the Canadian Trustee and to performing such functions solely in respect of those Holders who, at the particular time, are shown in the Note Register to be residents of Canada. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, nothing
herein shall require the Canadian Trustee to carry on any business or activity, to exercise any power or to perform any function, outside of Canada or in relation to Holders who are not shown in the Note Register to be residents of Canada, or to
engage in any business or activity, or to exercise any power or perform any function, in any jurisdiction where the Canadian Trustee does not hold all such authorizations, registrations or licenses as may be necessary to carry on such business or
activity or to exercise such power or perform such function. 
 In performing its functions, exercising any of its rights or
powers and discharging its duties hereunder, the Canadian Trustee shall: 
 (a) act honestly and in good faith with a view
to the best interests of those Holders who, at the particular time, are shown in the Note Register to be residents of Canada; and 
 (b) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances, as such standard of care would be interpreted in accordance with the ABCA
under the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. 
 Under no circumstances will the
Canadian Trustee be held to any other or higher standard of care than set forth in this Section 7.12. Each of paragraph (b)(ii) (other than the last sentence thereof and the preamble thereto) of Section 7.01 and Sections 2.05, 4.04, 7.02,
7.05, 7.06, 7.08, 7.09 and 12.04 shall apply in all respects to or in respect of the Canadian Trustee as if (A) each reference therein to the Trustee were a reference to the Canadian Trustee, (B) each reference to the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee were a reference to the office of the Canadian Trustee (or such other office as the Canadian Trustee shall have notified the Trustee and the Company in writing in accordance with Article 12) and (C) the obligations of the
Canadian Trustee are construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Canadian Trustee is subject to this
Section 7.12. 
 The Canadian Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities
hereunder by giving to the Company and the Trustee 90 days notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Company may accept as sufficient and the Canadian Trustee may be removed at any time by written notice from the Trustee or, if no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company. If at any time a material conflict of interest exists in 

  
 85 

 
the Canadian Trustee’s role as a fiduciary hereunder, the Canadian Trustee shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that such a material conflict of interest exists, either eliminate such
material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 7.12. The validity and enforceability of this Indenture and of the Notes issued hereunder shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by
reason only that such a material conflict of interest exists. In the event of the Canadian Trustee resigning or being removed or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the
Company shall forthwith appoint a new Canadian Trustee unless a new Canadian Trustee has already been appointed by Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes or applicable law no longer requires that there be a Canadian
Trustee hereunder. Failing such appointment by the Company or such Holders, the retiring Canadian Trustee or any Holder may (unless applicable law no longer requires a Canadian Trustee hereunder) apply to a Judge of the Court of Queen’s Bench
of Alberta, on such notice as such Judge may direct and at the Company’s expense, for the appointment of a new Canadian Trustee, but any new Canadian Trustee so appointed by the Company, such Holders or the Court shall be subject to removal as
aforesaid by the Holders. Any Canadian Trustee appointed under any provision of this Section 7.12 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Alberta. On any new appointment the new Canadian
Trustee shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally appointed Canadian Trustee as contemplated herein. 
 In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title,
interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such
separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies and every covenant and obligation necessary to
the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. 
 Should any instrument
in writing from the Company be required by any Canadian Trustee or any other separate or co-trustee appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company; provided, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Company does not execute any such
instrument within fifteen (15) days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Company to execute any such instrument in the Company’s name and stead. In case any Canadian Trustee or any other
separate or co-trustee or a successor to either of them shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such Canadian Trustee or separate or co-trustee, so
far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such Canadian Trustee or separate or co-trustee. 
 The Canadian Trustee and every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 

(i) all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee; and 

  
 86 

 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
of any other trustee hereunder. 
 Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given
to each of the Canadian Trustee and the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing the Canadian Trustee and any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the
conditions of this Article. 
 Any Canadian Trustee, separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any Canadian Trustee, separate trustee or co-trustee shall
die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

 ARTICLE 8. 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal
Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and
Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company 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 8.05 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 including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, 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 solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Special Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the 

  
 87 

 
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and its
Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16,
4.17, 4.20 and 4.21 hereof and clauses (2) and (3) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“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 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 Company 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 6.01 hereof, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) and 6.01(i) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
 In
order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a) The Company shall irrevocably deposit with the
Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the
case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

  
 88 

 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company 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 U.S. 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 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming 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 Covenant 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 Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) in the case of Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in Canada to the effect that Holders of the outstanding Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal or provincial income tax or other tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, and will be subject to Canadian federal or provincial income tax and other
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, had not occurred (which condition may not be waived by any Holder or the Trustee);

 (e) no Default or Event of Default may 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); 
 (f) 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 Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (g) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

 (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

  
 89 

 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 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 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 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 Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 The Company shall 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 8.04 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 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 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 8.04(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 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or
(if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and
all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New
York Times, The Wall Street Journal (national edition), the Globe and Mail and the National Post, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

  
 90 

 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
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 9. 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 
 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to
Article 5 or Article 10 hereof; 
 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders of Notes or that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company (evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) does not adversely affect the
rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (5) to add a Guarantor; 

(6) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

 (7) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision described under the caption,
“Description of Notes” in the Offering Circular; or 
 (8) to issue Additional Notes in compliance with
Section 4.09. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by 

  
 91 

 
the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors 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 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including
Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Note Guarantees and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in
the payment of the principal of, premium and Special Interest, 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 Note Guarantees
or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board
of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with 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 Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company 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 9.02 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 Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company 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 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or
waiver under this Section 9.02 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; 

  
 92 

 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note, change the date
on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or repurchase or reduce the redemption or repurchase price thereof (other than, at any time prior to the occurrence of a triggering Change of Control or a requirement to make an Asset Sale Offer, as
applicable, the provisions relating to the covenants in Sections 4.10 and 4.15); 
 (c) reduce the rate of or change the
time for payment of interest on any Note, including Additional Amounts; 
 (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Special Interest, 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 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;

 (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 interest or premium or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes; 
 (g) release
any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (h) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 
 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment or
supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 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. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then,
notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were 

  
 93 

 
Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously
given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

 Section 9.05 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 Company 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 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10. 
 GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01 Note Guarantee. 

Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the
principal, interest, premium and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if
any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder 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, that same will 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. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee
of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

  
 94 

 The Guarantors hereby agree that their 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 Company, 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 Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not
be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 The obligations of
the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are independent of the obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holders, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Indenture against a Guarantor to enforce the Note Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or whether the Company is joined in any such action or actions. 

The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium and Special Interest, if any) or interest
on a Note, whether at its stated maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture,
directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with
respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee
or any of the Holders. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the
Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged,
shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation
in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, 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 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note 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 declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under
the Guarantee. 

  
 95 

 Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant
part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had
not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned. The form of Note Guarantee is attached hereto as Exhibit E. 
 In case any provision of any Note
Guarantee 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. 

The Note Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general obligation of such Guarantor, ranking pari passu with any other
senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 
 Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall
be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor
Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the guarantee by each Guarantor pursuant to its Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
United States federal or state law or Canadian federal or provincial law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations
of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to 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 under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a proportional amount based on the net assets of each
Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee
substantially in the form included in Exhibit E shall be 

  
 96 

 
endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one of
its Vice Presidents. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer
whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Restricted
Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.16 hereof, the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Note Guarantees in accordance with
Section 4.16 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain
Terms. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise 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 whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: 

(a) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 

(b) either: 
 (1) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, if other than such Guarantor, the Company or
another Guarantor, assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this indenture, its Guarantee and, if the Exchange Offer has not been consummated or Special Interest remains due and owing, under the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a
supplemental Indenture satisfactory to the Trustee and completes all other required documentation; or 
 (2) in
the case of a sale or disposition constituting an Asset Sale, the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture described in the second paragraph under Section 4.10 hereof;

 In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person
(where applicable), by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed 

  
 97 

 
upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or
merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 

Section 10.05 Releases Following Sale of Assets. 
 A Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee if all or substantially all of its assets are sold or otherwise disposed of or its Capital Stock is sold or otherwise disposed
of in a transaction after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company, in each case in a transaction in compliance with Section 4.10 hereof, or the Guarantor merges with or into or consolidates with, or transfers all or
substantially all of its assets in compliance with Section 5.01 hereof, provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including (without limitation)
Section 4.10 hereof. Further, if the Company redesignates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17 hereof, then such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any
obligations under its Note Guarantee. Further, a Guarantor shall be released from all obligations under its Guarantee upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in compliance with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof,
respectively. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee. 

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and
interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 

Section 10.06 Subrogation 
 Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; provided
that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under
this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

  
 98 

 Section 10.07 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 Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 ARTICLE 11. 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder, when: 
 (a) either: 
 (1) all Notes that have been authenticated,
except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of
the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay
and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit or shall occur as a result of
the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(c) The Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

(d) The Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the
payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 

  
 99 

 In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee
stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive.

 Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium and Special Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, or
interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or their Restricted Subsidiaries or

 All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their successors. All agreements of

 Section 12.13 Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. 
 By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company and each of the non-U.S. Guarantors (i) acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably designated and appointed CT
Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New
York, New York 10011 as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture that may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court
located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, or brought under federal or state securities laws or brought by the Trustee (whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Trustee hereunder), and acknowledges that CT
Corporation System has accepted such designation, (ii) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) agrees that service of process upon CT Corporation System and written notice
of said service to it (mailed or delivered to its Chief Financial Officer at its principal office in Edmonton, Alberta as specified in Section 12.02 hereof), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit
or proceeding. The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment in full force and effect so long
as this Indenture shall be in full force and effect. 
 To the extent that any of the Company or the Guarantors 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, each
of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 104

 Section 12.14 Conversion of Currency. 

(a) 
 (1) If for the purpose 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 U.S. 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). 
 (2) 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 enforcement 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, the Company 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 U.S. dollars originally due. 

(b) In the event of the winding-up of the Company at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Notes, Note Guarantees or this
Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Holders 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 U.S. dollars due or contingently due under the Notes, Note Guarantees or this Indenture (other than under this Subsection (b)) is 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 Clause (b), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Company shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or
otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Company may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect
thereto. 
 (c) The obligations contained in Clauses (a)(ii) and (b) of this Section 12.12 shall constitute separate
and independent obligations of the Company from its other obligations under the Notes, Note Guarantees and this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Company, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or
extension granted by any Holder or Trustee or either of them 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 Clause (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 the Company, the Guarantors or the liquidator or otherwise. In the case of Clause (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 Federal Reserve Bank of New York, noon buying rate on the date of determination for purchases of U.S. dollars with the judgment currency other than U.S. dollars referred
to in Clauses (a) and (b) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable. 

  
 105

 (e) The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing this
Section 12.14. 
 Section 12.15 Currency Equivalent. 
 Except as provided in Section 12.12, for purposes of the construction of the terms of this Indenture or of the Notes and Note Guarantees, 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 Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the Monday preceding the date of determination. 
 Section 12.16 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. 
 Section 12.17 Counterpart Originals. 
 The parties may sign any number
of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 

Section 12.18 Table of Contents, Headings, etc. 
 The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this
Indenture and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 [Back of Note] 
 8.5% Senior Notes due 2021 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1.
INTEREST. Millar Western Forest Products Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at 8.5% per annum from April 7, 2011 until maturity and shall pay the Special Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Special Interest, if any,
semi-annually in arrears on April 1st and October 1st 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 October 1, 2011. The Company 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 the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Special Interest (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. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest which is equivalent to the rate payable hereunder is the rate payable
multiplied by the actual number of days in the year divided by 360. 
 2. METHOD OF
PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Special Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 15 and
September 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next 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 with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest and Special Interest, if any, shall be made to the Holders through DTC in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. 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, The Bank of
New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity. 
 4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
April 7, 2011 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee. 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 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 A-5

 5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) At any time prior to April 1, 2014, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes, calculated after giving effect to the issuance of Additional Notes, if any, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price of 108.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Special Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more sales of Common Stock of the Company; provided that: 

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately
after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Affiliates); and 
 (2) the
redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale of Common Stock. 
 (b) Except pursuant to clauses
(a) and (d) hereof and as described below under clause (e) hereof, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option before April 1, 2016. 
 (c) On or after April 1, 2016, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of the years
indicated below: 
  

					
	Year	  	Percentage	 
	 2016
	  	 	104.250	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.833	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.417	%

	  	 	100.000	% 

 (d) The Notes may also be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to April 1, 2016 at the
option of the Company upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium (calculated by the Company) as of, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(e) The Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes at any time at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if the Company has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with
respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of a change in the laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) of Canada (or any political subdivision or 

  
 A-6

 
taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change is announced or becomes
effective on or after the date of the Offering Circular. 
 6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

 The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Company has previously or concurrently exercised its right to
redeem all of the Notes in compliance with the provisions of Article 3 of the Indenture, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to US$2,000 or an integral
multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase
(the “Change of Control Payment”). The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Sections 3.09 and 4.15 of the Indenture. 
 (b) If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds US$20.0 million, the Company shall commence an offer (an
“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (including
any Additional 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 thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari
passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company will select such other pari passu
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes. 
 8.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more
than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than US$1,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of US$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

  
 A-7

 9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted
by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 10. PERSONS
DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may
be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of
the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture,
the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s
obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger, consolidation or sale of assets, 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 under
the Indenture of any such Holder, to add a Guarantor, to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, to conform the text of the
Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision described under the caption “Description of Notes” in the Offering Circular, to provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the
Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes. 
 12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. 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 may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of
Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees except as provided in the
Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may 

  
 A-8

 
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, premium or Special Interest, 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 Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Special
Interest on, or the principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes. 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 Company is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of
Default. 
 12. 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. 
 13.
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, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2011, between the Company and the parties named on the signature pages thereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), including the right to receive Special Interest (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement). 
 14. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES. 
 15. CUSIP Numbers.
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP 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. 

The Company 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:

 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the
“Indenture”), dated as of April 7, 2011 providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due April 1, 2021 (the “Notes”); 

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note
Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is 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 parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 
 1) CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

2) AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 

(a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of
a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

  

	 	(i)	the principal of and interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or

	 	(ii)	in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will 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. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be
jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. 

 (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 Company, 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 obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Note Guarantee are independent of the obligations guaranteed
by such Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereunder, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holders, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, against a Guarantor to enforce
the Note Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or whether the Company is joined in any such action or actions.

proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against the Guaranteeing Subsidiary to enforce the Note Guarantee without first
proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to
accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder, upon demand
therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. 

(e) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 
 (f) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture. 

  
 F-2

 (g) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. 

(i) 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 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note 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 declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 
 (j) The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 
 (k) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and
after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Note Guarantee

(l) The Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by
or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets,

payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. The form
of Note Guarantee is attached to the Indenture as Exhibit E. 

  
 F-3

 (m) In case any provision of the Note Guarantee 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. 
 (n) The Note Guarantee shall be a general obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, ranking pari passu with any other senior indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 

(o) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of the Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off,
counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 3) EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 

4) GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC.
ON CERTAIN TERMS. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in
Section 10.05 of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving
Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guaranteeing Subsidiary unless: 
 (b) immediately
after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (c) 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, if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, the Company or another Guarantor, assumes all the obligations of that Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Indenture, its Guarantee and, if the Exchange Offer has not been
consummated or Special Interest remains due and owing, under the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental Indenture satisfactory to the Trustee and completes all other required documentation; or 

(2) in the case of a sale or disposition constituting an Asset Sale, the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition
are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture described in the second paragraph under Section 4.10 hereof; 

  
 F-4

 (d) In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or
conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person (where applicable), by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guaranteeing with the same effect as if it had been named
herein as a Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as
though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 (e) Except as set
forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or
another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 

5) RELEASES. 
 (a) In the event of a sale of all the capital stock of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Guarantor then such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note
Guarantee; provided, that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including (without limitation) Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Further, if the Company
redesignates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as described under the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” in Section 1.01 of the Indenture then such Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be
released and relieve of any obligations under its Note Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its
obligations under its Note Guarantee. 
 (b) Any Guaranteeing Subsidiary not released from its obligations under
its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture. 

  
 F-5

 6) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note
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.

 7) THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE, THE
NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES. 
 8) 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. 
 9)
EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 10) 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 Company. 

11) SUBROGATION. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Company in
respect of any amounts paid by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce
or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under the Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

12) BENEFITS ACKNOWLEDGED. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and this Supplement Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

 13) SUCCESSORS. All agreements of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind its
Successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 2(k) hereof or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture. All agreements of the Trustee in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors.
