SECTION 301. Title and Terms.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2018” of the Issuer. The entire unpaid principal amount of each Note shall become due and payable to the Holder thereof on July 6, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest shall accrue on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Note at an annual rate of interest for the applicable Interest Period equal to the Three-Month CDOR Rate plus 0.80% per annum from July 6, 2015 or, if interest has been paid or duly provided for, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Such interest shall be payable quarterly on January 6, April 6, July 6 and October 6 of each year (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the Modified Following Business Day (each such date, an Interest Payment Date for purposes of this Supplemental Indenture)), commencing on October 6, 2015 until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Notes shall be payable in arrears. The Regular Record Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be the tenth (10^th) Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

An unlimited aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture (of which Cdn$200,000,000 is being issued, authenticated and delivered on the date hereof), including Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 806, 1008 or 1009 of the Indenture and Section 502 hereof. Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Notes issued on the date hereof may be created and issued under the Indenture from time to time by the Issuer without notice to or consent of the Holders, subject to the Issuer complying with any applicable provision of the Indenture (“Additional Notes”). Any Additional Notes created and issued shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes issued on the date hereof, except for their date of issue, issue price and, if applicable, offering price and first Interest Payment Date. Any Additional Notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes issued on the date hereof, shall constitute a single series of Notes under the Indenture. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.

The Notes shall be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer ranking pari passu with any other present or future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer.

The Notes shall be denominated in, and all principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes shall be payable in Canadian dollars.

The Issuer will, on each Interest Determination Date, determine the Three-Month CDOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period and notify the Trustee of such applicable Three-Month CDOR Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest

rate on the Notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all Canadian dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). Each calculation of the interest rate on the Notes by the Issuer will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders and the Trustee. Upon request from any Holder of Notes, the Issuer will provide the interest rate in effect for the Notes for the current Interest Period.

The Issuer shall not be obligated to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder of the Notes except as provided in Article Five hereof.

The Notes shall be subject to the covenants (and the related definitions) set forth in Articles Seven and Nine of the Indenture and, except as otherwise provided herein, to any other covenant in the Indenture, and to the defeasance and discharge provisions set forth in Article Three thereof.

SECTION 302. Denominations.

SECTION 304. Special Mandatory Redemption

If the Final Merger is not consummated on or prior to March 31, 2016 or if, prior to such date, the Merger Agreement is terminated (each a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Notes will be redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount thereon to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below).

Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Issuer shall promptly (but in no event later than 3 Business Days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee in writing (such date of notification, the “Redemption Notice Date”), that the Notes are to be redeemed on the 30th day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in accordance with the applicable provisions contained in Article Ten of the Indenture. The Trustee, upon receipt of the notice specified above, shall notify each Holder of the Notes in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture that all of the outstanding Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes.

Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit funds with the Trustee sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for each series of Notes on such date. If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article Eight of the Base Indenture, this Section 304 and the related definitions may not be waived or modified without the written consent of each Holder of the Notes.
