Securities if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of (i) the principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money secured by Liens created, incurred or assumed after the date hereof and otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and (ii) the

 SECTION 10 7 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions 
 So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Parent to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction unless (i) the Parent or such Subsidiary would be entitled to enter into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the Section 10 6 above without securing the Securities or (ii) the Parent or such Subsidiary shall
apply, within 360 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, an amount equal to the Attributable Value in respect of the leases relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transactions to the prepayment or retirement of indebtedness which matures
more than 12 months after the date of the creation of the indebtedness Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Obligor be required to prepay or retire Securities of a series, in the aggregate with respect to any and all such
transactions, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the issue date of any series of Securities, in an amount which exceeds the difference between (i) 25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the series of Securities, and
(ii) any and all earlier mandatory payments made by the Obligor on account of the principal amount of the series of Securities If the aggregate net proceeds that the Obligor would be otherwise required to prepay or retire on or prior to such
fifth anniversary would exceed such difference (such excess being called the “Excess Proceeds”), then promptly after such fifth anniversary, the Obligor shall prepay or retire Securities of such series in an amount equal to the Excess
Proceeds 
 SECTION 10 8 Waiver of Certain Covenants 
 An Obligor may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 8 3, 10 5, 10 6 and 10 7, and any other covenant not set forth herein and specified pursuant to
Section 3 1 to be applicable to the Securities of any series, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities affected by the omission
(which, in the case of a covenant not set forth herein and specified pursuant to Section 3 1 to be applicable to the Securities of any series, shall include only those series to which such covenant is so specified to be applicable) shall, in
each case by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly
waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Obligor and the duties of the Trustee with respect to any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect 
 SECTION 10 9 Payment of Additional Amounts

 - 81 - 

 (b) An Obligor will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay to the Holder of any
Security or Guarantee who is a non-resident of Canada such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment on such Security or Guarantee, after deduction or withholding by the Obligor or any of its Paying Agents for or on account of
any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the government of Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than the amount
provided in such Security or in such Guarantee to be then due and payable (and the Obligor will remit the full amount withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable laws) However, the Obligor will not be required to make any
payment of additional amounts 
 (1) to any Person in respect of whom such taxes are required to be withheld or deducted as a
result of such Person not dealing at arm’s length with the Obligor (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act of Canada), 
 (2) to any Person by reason of such Person being connected with Canada (otherwise than merely by holding or ownership of any series of Securities or receiving any payments or exercising any rights thereunder) including without limitation a
non-resident insurer who carries on an insurance business in Canada and in a country other than Canada, 
 (3) for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of such Security or Guarantee for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which such payment became
due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, 
 (4) for or on account of
any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge, 
 (5) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment to a Person in respect of any Security or Guarantee, if such payment can be made to such Person without
such withholding by at least one other Paying Agent, the identity of which is provided to such Person, 
 (6) for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments in respect of such Security or Guarantee, or 
 (7) for any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6), 
  

 - 82 - 

 nor will additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment on any such Security or Guarantee to a Holder who is a
fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of Canada (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income for Canadian federal income tax
purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to payment of the additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner
been the Holder of such Security or Guarantee 
 (c) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security or payment with respect to any Guarantee of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in the terms of such
Securities and this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable)
in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made 
 (d) If the Securities of a series or the Guarantees provide for the payment of additional amounts as contemplated by Section 3 1(b)(29), at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of
Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to maturity or in the case of the Guarantees, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Obligor will furnish the Trustee and the Obligor’s principal Paying
Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities
of that series or the Guarantees shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are non-residents of Canada without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge referred to above or described in the
Securities of that series or the Guarantees If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or
Guarantees and the Obligor will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent such additional amounts as may be required pursuant to the terms applicable to such series or Guarantees Each Obligor covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent

Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 10 9
