Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

(g) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

The Company and each Guarantor further agree 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 of CT Corporation System, in full force and effect so long as this Indenture shall be in full force and effect; provided, that the Company may and shall (to the extent CT Corporation System ceases to be able to be served on the basis contemplated herein), by written notice to the Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agent for service of process under this Section 1.14 that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in the State of New York, (ii) is either (x) counsel for the Company or (y) a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process for other Persons in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) agrees to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 1.14.

To the extent that the Company or any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Company and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 1.15 Judgment Currency.

(a) The Company and each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, each agree to indemnify the Trustee and each Holder against any loss incurred by such party as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under this Indenture and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States Dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States Dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase United States Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party. The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, United States Dollars.

(b) The Company covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Notes and this Indenture in the event the Company is in default under the terms of this Indenture:

(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 a 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 amount (or, as the case may be, be refunded 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.

(3) In the event of the winding-up of the Company at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Notes 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 and this Indenture (other than under this subsection (3)) 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 subsection (3), 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.

(4) The obligations contained in subsections (2) and (3) of this Section 1.15 shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Company from its other obligations under the Notes 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 Holders or the Trustee or any 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 subsection (3) 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 or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them which shall be liable for such deficiency. In the case of subsection (3) 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.

(5) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by The Royal Bank of Canada at its central foreign exchange desk in its main branch in Vancouver, British Columbia at 12:00 noon (Vancouver time) for the purchases of U.S. Dollars with the Judgment Currency other than U.S. Dollars referred to in subsections (1) and (3) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.

(c) The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing this Section 1.15 and shall have no liability to the Holders due to fluctuations in currency rates.

SECTION 1.16 Currency Equivalent. Except as provided in Section 1.15, for purposes of the construction of the terms of this Indenture or of the Notes, in the event that any amount, including any amounts owed by the Company to the Trustee, 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 which is required to purchase such amount in the First Currency at the rate of exchange quoted by The Royal Bank of Canada at its central foreign exchange desk in its main branch in Vancouver, British Columbia at 12:00 noon (Vancouver time) on the date of determination.

SECTION 1.17 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan, security or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof. No such indenture, loan, security or debt agreement may be used to interpret this Indenture.

SECTION 1.18 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, mailed by first class mail to each Holder at its last address appearing in the Security Register at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date, if the Company or any Guarantor is or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, any Additional Amounts as a result of a change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Taxing Authority, or any changes in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced on or after the Issue Date; provided, that the Company or such Guarantor determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company or such Guarantor (not including substitution of the obligor under the Notes); and provided, further, that (i) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or such Guarantor would but for such redemption be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts or later than 270 days after the Company or such Guarantor first becomes liable to pay any Additional Amounts as a result of any changes in or amendments to laws, regulations or official positions described above and (ii) at the time such notice is given, the Company’s or such Guarantor’s obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this provision, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred and (b) an Opinion of Counsel qualified under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction to the effect that the Company or such Guarantor has or will likely become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change as described above.

8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. Any redemption or notice of any redemption and any offer to purchase or notice of an offer to purchase may, at the Company’s option, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or Change of Control or other corporate transaction.

9. Offers to Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Security Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Security Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.

11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.

12. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.

13. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies and making any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Notes to be affected.

14. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Debt, make payments in respect of their Capital Stock or certain Debt, make certain Investments, create or incur liens, enter into transactions with Affiliates, enter into agreements restricting the ability of Restricted Subsidiaries to pay dividends and make distributions, and on the ability of the Company to merge or consolidate with any other Person or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s assets. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture, the Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

15. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article VIII of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article VIII, be released from those obligations.

16. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) of Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, may declare to be immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) of Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture occurs, the principal amount of and interest on all Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or a default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article V of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.

17. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

18. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, partner, incorporator or shareholder of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor or any corporate successor(s) thereto shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents or for a claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

19. Discharge. The Company’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of money in United States Dollars or U.S. Government Securities sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

20. Guarantees. The Note is entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

21. Collateral. The Company and the Guarantors have entered into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee.

22. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

23. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

The Company and the Guarantors agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture or the Notes.

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.

Thereafter, subject to compliance with Section 3.03, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes having identical terms (except as to issue price) in an unlimited amount (provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Notes, the Outstanding 2016 Notes, and Additional Priority Lien Debt together shall not exceed, at any one time outstanding, the Priority Lien Debt Cap) upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company. In each case, such written order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated. The Notes originally issued on the Issue Date, together with any additional Notes subsequently issued, will be treated as a single series under this Indenture for all purposes.

(b) The principal amount of, premium (if any), and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

If replacement Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of any Holder but without expense to such Holder, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding held by such Holder for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

(3) Notes that are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act shall not bear a Securities Act Legend;

(4) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07(c), a Successor Security of a Note that does not bear a particular form of Securities Act Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Note bearing a Private Placement Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article III; and

(5) until Notes are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, no Notes may be transferred except pursuant to Rule 144A, Rule 501 or Regulation S under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act (including Rule 144). Neither the Security Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any duty or liability with respect to any Holder’s or beneficial owner’s compliance with Rule 144A, Rule 501 or Regulation S, as applicable, or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

(d) The provisions of this Section 3.07(d) shall apply only to Global Notes:

(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to the U.S. Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Notes, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the U.S. Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the U.S. Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depositary within 120 days of such notice, (B) the Company, at its option, executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be exchanged in whole for Notes that are not Global Notes, or (C) a Holder shall have requested such exchange and there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security.

(3) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 3.07(d) shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the U.S. Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the U.S. Depositary to the Security Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the U.S. Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Note issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the U.S. Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(4) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (2) of this Section 3.07(d), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(5) Neither any DTC Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf DTC Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, or under any Global Security, and the U.S. Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the U.S. Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the U.S. Depositary, its DTC Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an DTC Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

SECTION 3.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. (a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and upon a written order in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (2) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon a written order in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or will become within 30 days due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

(c) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

(d) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 3.09 Outstanding Notes. (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (1) those cancelled by it, (2) those delivered to it for cancellation, (3) to the extent set forth in Sections 12.02 and 12.03, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 12.02 or 12.03 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered by the Trustee hereunder and (4) those described in this Section 3.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 3.15, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.

(b) If a Note is replaced or paid pursuant to Section 3.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

(c) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date or on any optional Redemption Date, money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 3.10 Computation of Interest. (a) Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(b) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) where any interest payable hereunder or under the Notes is expressed to be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, the annual rate of interest to which such stated rate is equivalent is calculable by determining, on the following basis for the relevant period, the amount of interest accruing during such period and expressing such amount as a percentage of the outstanding principal multiplied by the number of days in such period and divided by the number of days in the year (being 365 or 366, as the case may be):

(1) for any complete calendar month in respect of which such rate is applicable, the stated rate

(A)

multiplied by the actual number of days in the year in which such month falls and divided by the actual number of days in the month, and

(B)

multiplied by 30 and divided by 360, and

(2) for any part of a calendar month in respect of which such rate is applicable, the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in any applicable year, being 365 or 366, as the case may be and divided by 360.

SECTION 3.11 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest.

(b) Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 3.11(b):

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. 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 in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 3.11(b).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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.

SECTION 3.12 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving, subject to Section 3.11, payment of interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.13 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any offer to purchase pursuant to Section 10.09 or 10.13 shall, if surrendered to any Person (including the Security Registrar or the Paying Agent) other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and certification of their cancellation delivered to the Company.

SECTION 3.14 CUSIP or ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption and other notices to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or other notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or notice shall not be affected by any defect in or such omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any such CUSIP or ISIN number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number.

SECTION 3.15 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such declaration, notice, direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which the Trustee has received an Officers’ Certificate of the Company stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(6)) shall have occurred and be continuing, and if the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee so declares, the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration shall become immediately due and payable; provided, that in case an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 5.01(a) occurs, the principal premium and interest amount with respect to all of the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made (or an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(6) shall have occurred and be continuing) and before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration (or such Event of Default) and its consequences if:

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 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.

Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 5.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company.

(b) If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any Guarantor and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any Guarantor, wherever situated.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 5.05 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any Guarantor, its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official 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 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 6.06.

(b) No provision of this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents 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 thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 5.06 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.07 Application of Money Collected. Subject to Article XII, and subject to the provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates (including record dates) fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

SECTION 5.09 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 proceeding, 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 had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 3.08, 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 5.11 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 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 5.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture and other Priority Lien Documents. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the other Priority Lien Documents or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default. Subject to Sections 5.02, 5.08 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee have the right to waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any of the Collateral Documents. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders has consented to such waiver. 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; provided, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.14 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant; provided, that this Section shall not be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Trustee. This Section 5.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.16 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

SECTION 5.15 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise), or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or which would prohibit or forgive the Company and any Guarantors from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein; and the Company and any Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenant that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but they will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.16 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, or premium, (if any), and interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed on such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.17 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 5.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any Guarantor for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the Notes, and such further amounts 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.

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee 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 their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the same circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Document against the Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01.

(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(3) 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 the terms of Sections 5.12 and 5.13, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents.

(4) No provision of this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.01 shall govern every provision of this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents that in any way relates to the Trustee.

(e) 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 or any Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by applicable law.

SECTION 6.02 Rights of Trustee.

Subject to Section 6.01:

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instruction, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

(b) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution.

(c) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform in all material respects to the provisions of Section 1.02. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(d) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed by it with due care.

(f) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, which may include counsel to the Company or the Guarantors, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(g) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture or the other Priority Lien Documents, the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate.

(h) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document.

(i) 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 the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. As used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto.

(j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder or under any other Priority Lien Documents.

(k) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or under any other Priority Lien Documents at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability, cost or expense which may be incurred therein or thereby.

(l) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any information contained in any notice provided to the Trustee by the Company for distribution to the Holders.

(m) It is understood that the relevant rights, powers, benefits, immunities and indemnities of or in favor of the Trustee under this Indenture shall apply and be available to the Trustee in respect of the various capacities in which it acts under this Indenture.

SECTION 6.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the either of the Company or any Guarantor, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 6.09 and 6.11.

SECTION 6.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

(a) The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, any Guarantee, or any other Priority Lien Documents or any Liens purported to be created thereby, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s or any Guarantor’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Notes or any money paid to the Company or any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes, any Guarantee, this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Document, in no event shall the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Priority Lien Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Trustee be responsible for, and the Trustee makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of this Indenture or any of the other Priority Lien Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

SECTION 6.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and if the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of the Default within 90 days after the Trustee obtains such actual knowledge unless such Default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note or a Default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article V, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the best interest of the Holders.

SECTION 6.06 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company and any Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and each Agent from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee or such Agent, as the case may be, for its services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Company and any Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and each Agent upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in connection with its duties under this Indenture or any other Priority Lien Documents, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Company and any Guarantors shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and each Agent for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or such Agent) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture and the other Priority Lien Documents to which it is a party including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Guarantor, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Company and any Guarantor need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, shall notify the Company and any Guarantors in writing promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or such Agent for which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the Trustee or such Agent to so notify the Company and any Guarantors shall not relieve the Company and any Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee or any Agent for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or such Agent, as the case may be, resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. To secure the payment obligations of the Company and any Guarantors in this Section 6.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The obligations of the Company and any Guarantors under this Section 6.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of the Company and any Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.

When the Trustee incurs expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (6) of Section 5.01(a) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.07 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.09;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of performing its duties hereunder.

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify the Holders of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after such successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace such successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

(c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.09, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 6.06, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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 and any other Priority Lien Documents to which it is a party. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under Section 6.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 6.08 Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 6.09, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least US$100,000,000 as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 6.10 Paying Agents.

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.10:

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company, any Guarantor or by any other obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee;

(ii) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and

(iii) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days of any failure of the Company, any Guarantor or by any obligor on the Notes in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.

SECTION 6.11 Disqualification: Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

SECTION 6.12 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial conversion or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 3.08, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any of the states of the United States or the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions to this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

(b) Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall otherwise be eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

(c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

(d) The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

(e) If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

“This is one of the Notes described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

(e) The restrictions of this Article VIII shall not apply to any transaction involving a merger of the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction.

(viii) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, or any other Priority Lien Document to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” contained in the Offering Memorandum, dated as of May 14, 2010, to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended by the Company to be a verbatim recitation of any such text, which intention shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Company;

(ix) to provide for the release or addition of Collateral or Guarantees in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; or

(x) to appoint a successor trustee, in the event that the Trustee is disqualified from acting or ineligible to act as such because of a conflict of interest, provided, that, the successor trustee be otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under Article VI.

The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee are hereby authorized to join with the Company and any Guarantors in the execution of any supplemental indenture or supplemental agreement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture or supplemental agreement which adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or other Priority Lien Documents.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders. The Company (when authorized by a Board Resolution) and any Guarantors (when authorized by a Board Resolution) may, subject to Section 9.05, direct the Trustee and/or the Collateral Trustee to modify or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Notes and/or other Priority Lien Documents with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.13, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company or any Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or other Priority Lien Documents. Subject to Section 9.03 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of each Holder affected, any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 5.13, may not:

(i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Notes and/or other Priority Lien Documents;

(ii) reduce the rate of, change the method of calculation of or change the time for payment of interest, including Defaulted Interest, on any Note;

(iii) reduce the principal of or premium on or change the stated maturity of any Note or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or repurchase or reduce the redemption or repurchase price therefor;

(iv) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

(v) waive a default on the payment of the principal of, interest on, or redemption payment with respect to any Note (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration in accordance with the terms of this Indenture);

(vi) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default related thereto;

(vii) amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 10.09 or modify in any material respect any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(viii) modify or change any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Notes and/or other Priority Lien Documents or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee as senior indebtedness in a manner which adversely affects the Holders; or

(ix) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of at least two thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement, modification or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents unless the sale, release or transfer of such Collateral is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Indenture.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture or supplemental agreement, and upon the receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall join with the Company and any Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture or supplemental agreement unless such supplemental indenture or supplemental agreement affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture and other Priority Lien Documents, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture or supplemental agreement.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03 Revocation And Effect Of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of a Note, if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective.

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 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.

An amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 9.02. In that case, the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

SECTION 9.04 Notation On Or Exchange Of Notes. If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall at the expense of the Company place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, any Guarantors shall endorse and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. 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 9.05 Trustee and Collateral Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. If it does, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 1.02, that such amendment, supplement or waiver complies with the terms of and is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the other Priority Lien Documents and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and any Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

SECTION 9.06 Effect Of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

SECTION 9.07 Reference In Notes To Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (including post-petition interest in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), and overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate specified in the Notes.

SECTION 10.02 Reports To Holders. So long as any Notes are outstanding:

(a) if the Company is subject to the reporting requirements under the securities laws of Canada and is required to file information with one or more securities commissions in Canada (the “Canadian Commissions”), the Company will furnish to the Trustee (and the Holders of the Notes and, upon request, beneficial owners of the Notes in each case, to the extent not otherwise available on the Canadian System For Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval, or SEDAR), as promptly as practicable after such information has been filed:

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that the Company would be required to file (on or before the date that such financial information would be required to be filed for the applicable quarter or year) with the Canadian Commissions as if it were a reporting issuer under the securities laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia, including in each case a “Management's Discussion and Analysis” and with respect to annual information only, a report on the Company's annual financial statements by the Company's independent registered public accountants; and

(2) all material change reports that the Company would be required to file with the Canadian Commissions, as if it were a reporting issuer under the securities laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia; and

(b) if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements under the securities laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia or is otherwise not required to file information with the Canadian Commissions, the Company will furnish to the Trustee and, upon request, to beneficial owners of the Notes and prospective investors in the Notes a copy of all the financial information and reports required to be delivered in subclauses (1) and (2) of clause (a) above, on or before the date such financial information would have been required to be filed for the applicable quarter or year if it were so subject to such securities laws.

In addition, the Company will furnish to the Holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon request, any information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will be deemed not to have failed to comply with any of its agreements hereunder for purposes of Section 5.01(a)(3) herein until 45 days after the date any report hereunder is required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.02. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

SECTION 10.03 Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, of the Company and on or before 60 days after the end of the first, second and third quarters of each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2010, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as the case may be, has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company and each Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company and each Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action they are taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company and any Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

(b) The Company and any Guarantors shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company and any Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

(c) The Company’s fiscal year currently ends on December 31. The Company will promptly provide written notice to the Trustee of any change in its fiscal year.

SECTION 10.04 Taxes. The Company and any Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except as contested by appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 10.05 Limitation On Additional Debt. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, any Acquired Debt), except Permitted Debt and except that, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the incurrence of such Debt, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Debt (including any Acquired Debt) if the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at least 2.0 to 1. Even if the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 2.0 to 1, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Permitted Debt.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.05, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (20) of the definition thereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 10.05 (other than debt outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the date on which the Notes are first issued under this Indenture, which shall be treated as incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”), the Company shall classify (and subsequently may reclassify one or more times) such Debt in its sole discretion, and such item of Debt will, upon such classification or reclassification, as the case may be, be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 10.05. In addition, Debt may be incurred in reliance in part on one clause in the definition of “Permitted Debt” (or the first paragraph of this covenant) and in part in reliance on another clause in the definition of “Permitted Debt” (or the first paragraph of this covenant). Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt, in each case in accordance with the terms of the underlying Debt at its time of incurrence by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 10.05; provided, that the underlying Debt is incurred in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Any increase in the Canadian dollar equivalent of outstanding Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars resulting from fluctuations in the exchange values of currencies shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 10.05; provided, that the amount of Debt of the Company outstanding at any time for purposes of covenant compliance shall be the Canadian dollar equivalent of all such Debt of the Company outstanding at such time. Any incurrence of Debt which complied with this Indenture at the time incurred shall be deemed not to violate this Indenture if the amount of Debt incurred later changes as a result of currency fluctuation.

(c) This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Debt as subordinated or junior to secured Debt merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Debt as subordinated or junior to any other senior Debt merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

SECTION 10.06 Limitation On Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not make, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make, any Restricted Payment, unless:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment;

(2) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company could incur US$1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to Section 10.05; and

(3) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments declared or made after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date does not exceed the sum (without duplication) of:

(A)

50% of the Company’s cumulative Consolidated Net Income (or if cumulative Consolidated Net Income shall be a loss, minus 100% of such loss) for the period beginning January 1, 2010 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such proposed Restricted Payment (treating such period as a single accounting period); plus

(B)

100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds (together with the Fair Market Value of assets other than cash, including consideration received part in cash and part in assets other than cash) received by the Company from Capital Contributions or from the issuance or sale after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of (i) Capital Stock of the Company, other than (x) Disqualified Capital Stock, (y) the proceeds of Capital Stock referred to in the proviso to clause (5) of Section 10.06(b) below to the extent used to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares of Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to such clause (5) or (z) Excluded Contributions, or (ii) any Debt or other securities of the Company that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Company which have been so converted, exercised or exchanged, as the case may be; plus

(C)

without duplication of any amounts included in subclause (A) of this clause (3), so long as the Designation thereof was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date, with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date in accordance with the definition of “Restricted Subsidiary,” the Company’s proportionate interest in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation as a Restricted Subsidiary; plus

(D)

in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment made after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date, to the extent not otherwise included in the Company’s Consolidated Net Income, the amount of cash proceeds (or Cash Equivalents) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Investment, net of any costs of disposition and taxes paid or payable in connection with such disposition or repayment; plus

(E)

to the extent not otherwise included in the Company’s Consolidated Net Income, the amount of the cash proceeds (or Cash Equivalents) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (1) upon the sale of any Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date, net of any costs of disposition and taxes paid or payable in connection with such sale, or (2) through distributions from an Unrestricted Subsidiary; plus

(F)

$40,000,000.

For purposes of determining the amount expended for Restricted Payments under this clause (3), property other than cash shall be valued at its Fair Market Value.

(b) The provisions of this Section 10.06 shall not prevent,

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at such date of declaration such payment would comply with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company or Debt of the Company or any Guarantor by conversion into, or by or in exchange for, shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital Stock), or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of other shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital Stock); provided, that any such net cash proceeds are excluded from Section 10.06(a)(3)(B) for the purposes of this calculation (and were not included in Section 10.06(a)(3)(B) at any time), and such net cash proceeds were received by the Company in respect of sales made after the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date;

(3) the redemption, repayment or retirement of Debt of the Company or any Guarantor in exchange for, by conversion into, or out of the net cash proceeds of, (x) a substantially concurrent sale or incurrence of Debt of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be (other than any Debt owed to a Restricted Subsidiary), that is not more senior in right of payment or as to the proceeds of collateral securing such debt than the Debt being redeemed, repaid or retired, or (y) a substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of shares of Capital Stock of the Company; provided, that any such net cash proceeds are excluded from Section 10.06(a)(3)(B) (and were not included in Section 10.06(a)(3)(B) at any time);

(5) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of shares of Capital Stock of the Company, other than Disqualified Capital Stock, held by employees, officers, directors, consultants, and former employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates, provided, that the aggregate cash consideration paid, or distributions made, under this clause (5) do not exceed $2,000,000 in any calendar year (plus the cash proceeds from the sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Company to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries subsequent to the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date);

(7) any purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Debt of the Company or any Guarantor (x) following the occurrence of a change of control (or other similar event described herein as a “Change of Control”), but only if the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Indenture) shall have complied with Section 10.13 and, if required thereby, purchased all Notes tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer required thereby and all Outstanding 2016 Notes tendered pursuant to the requirements regarding a change of control offer set forth in the indenture governing the Outstanding 2016 Notes, prior to purchasing or repaying such Debt, or (y) with the proceeds of asset sales pursuant to an offer to purchase Notes similar to the Excess Proceeds Offer described in Section 10.09 but only if the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Indenture) shall have purchased all Notes tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer required thereby and all Outstanding 2016 Notes tendered pursuant to the requirements regarding an excess proceeds offer set forth in the indenture governing the Outstanding 2016 Notes, prior to purchasing or repaying such Debt;

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.06, (x) the amount, if other than in cash, of any Restricted Payment shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, and (y) in the event that a Restricted Payment or Investment meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described in the above clauses, including the first paragraph of this Section 10.06 or the definition of “Permitted Investment,” the Company, in its sole discretion, may order and classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such Restricted Payment or Investment if it would have been permitted at the time such Restricted Payment or Investment was made and at the time of such reclassification. In addition, a Restricted Payment or Investment may be made in reliance in part on one clause and in part on another clause.

If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Payment which, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the provisions of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture, notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments or restatements made in good faith to the Company's financial statements.

SECTION 10.07 Limitation On Liens. The Company shall not, and shall 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 on the Collateral that secure obligations under any Debt or related guarantee of the Company or any Guarantor, other than Permitted Liens. Subject to the foregoing, 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, other than Permitted Liens, that secure obligations under any Debt or related guarantee of the Company or any Guarantor, upon or with respect to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than property or assets constituting Collateral), unless:

(i) if such Lien secures Debt 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 by such asset or property on an equal and ratable basis with such Debt so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by such Lien or the Lien is a Permitted Lien, or

(ii) if such Lien secures Debt which is subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee, then the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, are secured by such asset or property, and the Lien securing such other Debt 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 Debt is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the triggering Lien, which release and discharge in the case of any sale of any such asset or property shall not affect any Lien that the Collateral Trustee may have on the proceeds from such sale.

The Company and Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur or cause or permit to exist Permitted Liens as described in the definition of “Permitted Liens”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 on any Excluded Equity Interests, other than involuntary Permitted Liens of the types referred to in clauses (8), (18), (25)(a), (30) and (31) of the definition of Permitted Liens.

SECTION 10.08 Limitation On Transactions With Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to 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 Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date, unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(2) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than the terms which could reasonably be obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, at such time in a comparable transaction made on an arm’s-length basis between unaffiliated parties.

In any Affiliate Transaction (or any series of related Affiliate Transactions) involving an amount or having a Fair Market Value in excess of $10,000,000 which is not permitted under clause (a)(1) of this Section 10.08, the Company shall 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 (a)(2) of this Section 10.08, and in any Affiliate Transaction or any series of related Affiliate Transactions involving an amount or having a Fair Market Value in excess of $75,000,000 which is not permitted under clause (a)(1) of this Section 10.08, the Company must obtain an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by a nationally recognized accounting, investment banking or appraisal firm.

(7) any agreement as in effect or entered into as of the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) and any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Outstanding 2016 Notes Issue Date;

(8) any transaction in the ordinary course of business, or approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company controlled by the Company that is a joint venture or similar entity;

(11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and that are on terms at least as favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party, or that are considered fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the view of the Board of Directors of the Company;

(12) any reasonable and customary payment approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the registration for sale or distribution by any Affiliate of the Company of any Capital Stock of the Company, including reimbursements for reasonable and customary offering expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions;

(3) The Asset Sale Proceeds received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may be applied, at the option of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary:

(A) if the assets subject of such Asset Sale constitute Notes Priority Lien Collateral, to prepay, repay or purchase (or offer to prepay, repay or purchase, as applicable) the Notes, the Outstanding 2016 Notes and any other Priority Lien Obligations on a pro rata basis; provided, that any repayment, prepayment or purchase of (or offer to prepay, repay or purchase) obligations under the Notes shall be made as provided in Section 11.07, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued unpaid interest) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Excess Proceeds Offer) to all Holders of Notes 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 purchased;

(B) if the assets subject of such Asset Sale do not constitute Notes Priority Lien Collateral, to prepay, repay or purchase (or offer to prepay, repay or purchase, as applicable) indebtedness under any Credit Facilities or any other secured Debt of the Company (including the Notes or the Outstanding 2016 Notes) or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Lien Debt); provided, that any repayment, prepayment or purchase of (or offer to prepay, repay or purchase) obligations under the Notes shall be made as provided in Section 11.07, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued unpaid interest) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Excess Proceeds Offer) to all Holders of Notes 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 purchased; or

(C) with respect to the proceeds of any Asset Sale, to make capital expenditures or to make an investment in properties and assets that are used or useful in the business of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or in businesses reasonably similar to or ancillary to the business of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries as conducted at the time of such Asset Sale (including the acquisition of Capital Stock of any such business or businesses); provided, that (i) such investment occurs or (ii) the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary enters into contractual commitments to so apply such Asset Sale Proceeds, subject only to customary conditions (other than the obtaining of financing), in each case, within 365 days following the receipt of such Asset Sale Proceeds (and, in the case of any commitment referred to in the preceding clause (ii), the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated within 180 days of the date such commitment is entered into); provided, further, to the extent Asset Sale Proceeds of Collateral are used to acquire additional assets, such additional assets (other than, for avoidance of doubt, Excluded Assets) are pledged subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, as Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee, the Holders of Notes, the holders of the Outstanding 2016 Notes and the trustee for the Outstanding 2016 Notes. Pending any such reinvestment (x) Asset Sale Proceeds of Notes Priority Lien Collateral shall, as promptly as practicable, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, be deposited in a Noteholder Proceeds Collateral Account pledged as Notes Priority Lien Collateral for the benefit of the Priority Lien Obligations, ABL Debt Obligations and Subordinated Lien Obligations in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, and (y) Asset Sale Proceeds of ABL Priority Lien Collateral shall, as promptly as practicable, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, be deposited in a deposit account or securities account pledged as ABL Priority Lien Collateral for the benefit of the ABL Debt Obligations, Priority Lien Obligations and Subordinated Lien Obligations in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement.

If on such 365th day following any Asset Sale, the Available Asset Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale exceed $15,000,000, the Company will apply an amount equal to such Available Asset Sale Proceeds to an offer to repurchase the Notes and, at its option, other Debt that is secured on an equal and ratable basis (including the Outstanding 2016 Notes) at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other Debt, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”). The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any such Available Asset Sale Proceeds by making an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to such Available Asset Sale Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 day period (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Available Asset Sale Proceeds of less than $15,000,000.

If an Excess Proceeds Offer is not fully subscribed, the Company may retain and use for general corporate purposes the portion of the Available Asset Sale Proceeds not required to repurchase Notes. Upon completion of any Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Available Asset Sale Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

(b) If the Company is required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Company shall mail, within 30 days of the 365th day following the receipt of the Available Asset Sale Proceeds exceeding $15,000,000 as specified in Section 10.09(a), a notice to the Holders, at the address appearing in the Security Register maintained by the Security Registrar, stating the information set forth below.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 10.09, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.09 by virtue of such compliance.

(16) agreements entered into between a Restricted Subsidiary and another Restricted Subsidiary which second Restricted Subsidiary is not a Subsidiary of the first Restricted Subsidiary provided, that such agreement does not limit dividends or distributions to the direct parent or direct subsidiary of either such Restricted Subsidiary,

(17) restrictions contained in any Debt incurred in compliance with Section 10.05, provided, that, such restrictions, taken as a whole, are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, no more materially restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained in the existing agreements referenced in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above and the Company determines in good faith that any such restriction will not affect the Company's ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes,

SECTION 10.14 Payment Of Additional Amounts.

(a) All amounts paid or credited by the Company under or with respect to the Notes, or by any Guarantor under or in respect of its Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes, unless the Company or such Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes by law or by interpretation or administration of law. If the Company or any Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any amount paid or credited under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, the Company or such Guarantor shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction in respect of Additional Amounts) shall not be less than the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder (an “Excluded Holder”) (1) with whom 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, (2) who is subject to the Taxes in question by reason of its being connected with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes otherwise than by the mere acquisition or holding of the Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder or the enforcement of its rights thereunder, or (3) who is subject to such Taxes because the Holder is or is deemed to be resident in Canada or uses or holds or is deemed or considered to use or hold the Notes in carrying on business in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company and any Guarantors will also (a) make such withholding or deduction and (b) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with and in the time required under applicable law. The Company and any Guarantors shall furnish to the Holders of Notes that are outstanding on the date of the withholding or deduction, within 30 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes due under applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or such Guarantor.

(b) The Company and any Guarantors shall, upon written request of any Holder (other than an Excluded Holder), reimburse each such Holder, for the amount of (1) any such Taxes so required to be withheld or deducted which are levied or imposed on and paid by such Holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees and reasonable expenses related thereto; and (2) any such Taxes so levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (1) so that the net amount received by such Holder or beneficial owner after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the Holder or beneficial owner would have received if the Taxes described in subclauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph had not been imposed, but excluding any such Taxes on such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s net income generally.

(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 shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable and specifying 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. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(d) The Company or any Guarantor shall pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary or other similar taxes, charges or levies that arise in any Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of, or enforcement of rights under the Notes, this Indenture or any related document (“Documentary Taxes”).

(e) The obligation to pay Additional Amounts (and any reimbursement) and Documentary Taxes under the terms and conditions described above will survive any termination defeasance or discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.15 Payments for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of the Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all such Holders and is paid to all such Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

SECTION 10.16 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company shall maintain a Security Registrar in accordance with Section 2.02(a).

SECTION 10.17 Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its 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

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

provided, however, 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 loss thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.01 Election To Redeem; Notices To Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 11.07 or 11.08, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee) but not more than 65 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the Redemption Price, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained in Section 11.07 or 11.08.

SECTION 11.02 Selection By Trustee Of Notes To Be Redeemed. In the event that fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed (subject in all cases to DTC procedures), the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed, if the Company notifies the Trustee that the Notes are listed on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the rules of such exchange or, if the Notes are not so listed, either on a pro rata basis, by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem fair and equitable; provided, however, that if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, selection of the Notes or portions thereof for redemption shall be made by the Trustee by lot or on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable, unless such method is otherwise prohibited. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of the Notes that have denominations larger than US$1,000. Notes and portions thereof the Trustee selects shall be redeemed in amounts of US$1,000 or whole multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

Pursuant and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (1) the Liens on the Notes Priority Lien Collateral securing the Notes and the Outstanding 2016 Notes rank senior to the Liens on the Notes Priority Lien Collateral securing the ABL Debt Obligations and any future Subordinated Lien Obligations and (2) the Liens on the ABL Priority Lien Collateral securing the Notes and the Outstanding 2016 Notes rank junior to the Liens on the ABL Priority Lien Collateral securing the ABL Debt Obligations, but senior to the Liens on the ABL Priority Lien Collateral securing any future Subordinated Lien Obligations.

(b) The Collateral Trustee holds the Notes Priority Lien Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes, the holders of the Outstanding 2016 Notes and the trustee for the Outstanding 2016 Notes, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of the Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be entered into and delivered to the Collateral Trustee and/or amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs (i) the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Collateral Documents by executing the Joinder Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith and (ii) the Trustee to enter into the Collateral Trust Agreement, including to execute and deliver the Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. Each Holder further directs the Trustee not to request any documents, filing or recordation described in Section 3.8(b)(3) of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(c) The Company shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, deliver to the Collateral Trustee copies of all documents pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 13.01, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed.

(d) The Company shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Notes and Guarantees and other Priority Lien Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement), in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding anything stated herein or in the Collateral Documents, however, the Collateral shall not include the Excluded Assets.

(e) If the validity or effectiveness of the grant and creation of a security interest over any part of any Leasehold Collateral Pending Consent is dependent on the Company or any Guarantor obtaining consent, authorization, approval or waiver of any third party, then the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will use reasonable commercial efforts in order to obtain the applicable consent, authorization, approval or waiver, provided, that the Company is not required to give up any economic concessions (other than economic concessions that, in the sole good faith judgment of the Company, are not material in relation to the economic value of such Leasehold Collateral Pending Consent in question) to obtain any such consent, authorization of approval. To the extent that such consent is not obtained by June 8, 2010 (i.e., 90 days after the issuance of the Outstanding 2016 Notes), the aggregate book value of such Leasehold Collateral Pending Consent will count towards the $25,000,000 basket referred to in the proviso to paragraph (2) of the definition of Excluded Assets.

(f) To the extent that any waterlot or foreshore leases forming part of the Leasehold Collateral are not registered against title to the lands leased under such leases by the Company or any of the Guarantors, the security interest granted over such leases shall constitute an unregistered security interest. For greater certainty, the Company and the Guarantors shall be under no obligation to take any steps to register, in any applicable land title office, any unregistered waterlot or foreshore leases forming part of the Leasehold Collateral.

(g) The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all notices, directions and other documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Documents.

The Subordinated Lien Representative of each future Series of Subordinated Lien Debt is required pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement to deliver a Lien Sharing and Priority Confirmation to the Collateral Trustee at the time of incurrence of such Series of Subordinated Lien Debt.

SECTION 13.04 Relative Rights. Nothing in the Priority Debt Documents will:

(1) impair, as between the Company and the Holders, the obligation of the Company to pay principal, interest, premium, if any, on the Notes in accordance with their terms or any other obligation of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents;

(2) affect the relative rights of the Holders as against any other creditors of the Company or any Guarantor (other than as expressly specified in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement);

SECTION 13.05 Further Assurances. The Company and each of the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be reasonably required to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of Obligations under the Priority Lien Documents, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the Notes are issued), in each case, as and to the extent contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Secured Debt Documents.

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article XIII to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

SECTION 13.11 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.

(a) In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XIII upon the Company or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XIII; and if the Collateral Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Collateral Trustee.

(b) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and other Priority Lien Documents, the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Trustee in the Collateral, including without limitation the properties under the Mortgages, and that any such actions taken by the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral, including without limitation the properties under the Mortgages.

SECTION 13.12 Collateral Trustee.

(a) The Company has appointed Computershare Trust Company of Canada to serve as the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee, the trustee for the Outstanding 2016 Notes and the holders of (1) the Notes; (2) the Outstanding 2016 Notes; (3) all other Priority Lien Obligations outstanding from time to time, if any; and (4) all Subordinated Lien Obligations outstanding from time to time, if any. The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Trustee as its agent under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Trustee to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Trustee by the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) The Collateral Trustee agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 13.12. The provisions of this Section 13.12 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor any of the Grantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 13.05. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Trustee shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Trustee have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Collateral Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Trustee is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Collateral Trustee shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Collateral Trustee is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article V, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Holders.

(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates may act as Collateral Trustee. No Secured Debt Representative may serve as Collateral Trustee; provided, that the Trustee under this Indenture may serve as Collateral Trustee if the Notes are the only Secured Obligations outstanding.

(d) The Collateral Trustee holds (directly or through co-trustees or agents), and is entitled to enforce on behalf of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations and Subordinated Lien Obligations, if any, all Liens on the Collateral created by the applicable Collateral Documents for their benefit, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, in each case as described below.

(e) Except as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement or as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated:

(1) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person;

(2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien; or

(3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the applicable Collateral Documents, the Liens created thereby or the Collateral.

(f) the Company will deliver to each Secured Debt Representative, copies of all Collateral Documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee.

(g) The Collateral Trustee may execute any of its duties under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents by or through agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or through its Related Persons and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) None of the Collateral Trustee or any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with the Collateral Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this or any Indenture, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Trustee under or in connection with, this Indenture or any other indenture or the Collateral Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or any other Indenture or the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Trustee or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this or any other Indenture or the Collateral Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

(i) The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, or telephone message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, any other indenture or the Collateral Documents unless it shall first receive such request or concurrence of the Trustee as it deems appropriate and direction as provided for in the Collateral Trust Agreement and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified and funded to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Trustee shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, any other indenture or the Collateral Documents in accordance with a request or consent of the Trustee or an Act of Required Debtholders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(j) The Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Trustee shall have received written notice from the Trustee or a Grantor or an Act of Required Debtholders referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article V (subject to this Section 13.12); provided, however, that unless and until the Collateral Trustee has received any such request, the Collateral Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

(k) Computershare Trust Company of Canada and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Grantor and its Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Trustee hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Trustee. The Trustee and the Holders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Computershare Share Trust Company of Canada or its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Grantor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Grantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Trustee or the Holders. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of the Computershare Share Trust Company of Canada to advance funds.

(l) The Collateral Trustee may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Trustee and the Grantors, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Trustee. If the Collateral Trustee resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral trustee. If no successor collateral trustee is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Trustee (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor collateral trustee. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral trustee hereunder, such successor collateral trustee shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Trustee, and the term “Collateral Trustee” shall mean such successor collateral trustee, and the retiring Collateral Trustee’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Trustee shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Trustee’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 13.12 (and Section 6.06) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Trustee shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture.

(m) Computershare Trust Company of Canada shall initially act as Collateral Trustee and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Trustees as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Trustee shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(n) The Collateral Trustee is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents, (ii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents and (iii) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents.

(o) The Trustee shall not be obliged to, and shall not be obliged to instruct the Collateral Trustee to, unless specifically requested to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Indenture or the other Priority Lien Documents or against any Grantor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Trustee in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article V, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Trustee, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Trustee.

(p) The Collateral Trustee is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession and for the purpose of obtaining control of such assets pursuant to the Personal Property Security Act (British Columbia) and such other applicable law. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Trustee thereof, and, promptly deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Trustee.

(q) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or any part of the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Trustee may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Collateral Trustee’s own interest in the Collateral and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

(r) No provision of this Indenture or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Trustee (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder.

(s) The Collateral Trustee (i) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Trustee may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Collateral Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) Collateral Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Trustee shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(t) Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(u) In no event shall the Trustee have any duty, liability or obligation to pay any fees, expenses or other amounts, including any indemnification, to the Collateral Trustee.

ARTICLE XIV

GUARANTEE OF NOTES

SECTION 14.01 Guarantee. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article XIV, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees, on a senior basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors, irrespective of (i) the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company or any other Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder or (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or default of a Guarantor, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to the Notes will be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to the Notes and all other Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06) and all other Obligations under this Indenture or the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, the same 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 failing performance of any other Obligation of the Company to the Holders and/or the Trustee, for whatever reason, each Guarantor will be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes or the Trustee to accelerate the Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the Obligations of the Company.

(b) Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand for 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 covenants that such Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and such Guarantee. The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article XIV, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article V, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of such Guarantee.

(c) The 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 or 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, 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 Notes 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.

SECTION 14.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. (a) To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form included in Annex C hereto, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee after this Article XIV with respect to such Guarantor becomes effective in accordance with Section 10.11 and such Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of each Guarantor. The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

(b) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

(c) If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.

(d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

SECTION 14.03 Limitation Of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor are 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 federal or state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 14.04 Additional Guarantors. Any Person may become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 10.11.

SECTION 14.05 Release Of Guarantor. (a) A Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee if:

(1) the Guarantor has sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred (or a sale, disposition or other transfer of such Guarantor’s Capital Stock occurs following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) all or substantially all of its assets or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have sold all of the Capital Stock of the Guarantor owned by them, in each case in a transaction in compliance with the terms of this Indenture (including Sections 10.09 and 8.01);

(2) the Guarantor merges or amalgamates with or into or consolidates with, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, the Company or another Guarantor in a transaction in compliance with Section 8.01, and the successor entity formed thereby is no longer required to be a Guarantor under the terms of this Indenture;

(3) the Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 10.06 or the Guarantor becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary;

(4) the Company has effected defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes in accordance with Section 12.02 or 12.03;

(5) the Notes are satisfied and discharged in accordance with Section 4.01; or

(6) in the case of a non-Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary which had become a Guarantor as a result of such Subsidiary guaranteeing any other Debt of the Company or any other Guarantor, the guarantee which gave rise to the requirement that such Subsidiary become a Guarantor has been released;

and in each such case, the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder and under the other Priority Lien Documents. If a Guarantee is released, any Collateral which secures such Guarantee will also be automatically released.

(b) If all of the conditions to release contained in this Section 14.05 have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or any Guarantor, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this Article XIV.

SECTION 14.06 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor, by execution of its Guarantee, waives to the extent permitted by law any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under such Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor, by execution of its Guarantee, will acknowledge that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 14.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

Re: Class B 11% Senior Secured Notes Due December 15, 2016

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, dated as of May 19, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among Catalyst Paper Corporation (the “Issuer”) and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

In connection with our proposed purchase of $____________ aggregate principal amount of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, we confirm that:

1. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes or any interest therein is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes or any interest therein except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

2. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes and any interest therein may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell the Notes or any interest therein, we will do so only (A) to the Issuer or any subsidiary thereof, (B) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined therein), (C) to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to you and to the Issuer a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter and an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (D) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any Person purchasing a beneficial interest in a Global Note from us in a transaction meeting the requirements of clauses (A) through (E) of this paragraph a notice advising such purchaser that resales thereof are restricted as stated herein.

3. We understand that, on any proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be required to furnish to you and the Issuer such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the Issuer may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

4. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

5. We are acquiring the Notes or beneficial interest therein purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

You and the Issuer are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
