Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustees and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

- 9 -

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustees deem sufficient.

The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustees or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, which may be not less than five nor more than 60 days prior to the first solicitation of any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph, provided that it is not less than five nor more than 60 days prior to such reset (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 principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustees in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

- 10 -

The Trustees may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustees 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 principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustees, 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 Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates 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 each other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180^th 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 180^th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other documents, or any payment or deposit of monies or Securities, in each case as provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

the Trustee(s) by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if delivered to either (i) an officer of the Canadian Trustee at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Attention: Manager, Corporate Trust Services, or if sent by e-mail or other electronic communication (with receipt confirmed) to ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Attention: Manager, Corporate Trust Services, or (ii) an officer of the U.S. Trustee at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Corporate Trust Services – Brookfield Administrator, or if sent by e-mail or other electronic communication (with receipt confirmed) to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall be deemed to be validly given at the time of delivery or transmission if it is received prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, failing which it shall be deemed to have been given on the next Business Day. The Trustees may from time to time notify the Company of a change in address which thereafter, until changed by like notice, shall be the address of the Trustees for the purposes of this Indenture; or

- 11 -

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his, her or its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustees, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustees shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

- 12 -

Each of the Company and the Trustees agrees to comply with all provisions of the Trust Indenture Laws applicable to or binding upon it in connection with this Indenture and any action to be taken hereunder. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any mandatory requirement of Trust Indenture Laws, such mandatory requirements shall prevail.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

- 13 -

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section, the exercise, performance or discharge by the Canadian Trustee of any of its rights, powers, duties or responsibilities hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable thereto.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, as the case may be; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day, as the case may be, on the account of such delay.

EACH PARTY HERETO, AND EACH HOLDER OF A SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE.

The Company covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Securities and this Indenture:

- 15 -

Except as provided in Section 1.16, for purposes of the construction of the terms of this Indenture or of the Securities, in the event that any amount is stated herein in the currency of one nation (the “First Currency”), as of any date such amount shall also be deemed to represent the amount in the currency of any other relevant nation (the “Other Currency”) which is required to purchase such amount in the First Currency at the average daily rate of exchange for Canadian interbank transactions applied in converting the Other Currency into the First Currency published by the Bank of Canada for the date of determination. If such exchange rate shall not be available for any reason with respect to such First Currency or Other Currency, the Trustees shall use, at the direction of the Company and without liability on the part of the Trustees, such quotation by a comparable financial publication in general circulation as of the most recent available date, or quotations or rates of exchange from one or more major banks in Toronto, Canada or in the country of issue of the First Currency or Other Currency in question, or such other quotations or rates of exchange as the Company shall direct.

Les parties aux présentes ont exigé que la présente convention ainsi que tous les documents et avis qui s’y rattachent et/ou qui en découleront soient rédiges en langue anglaise. The parties hereto have required that this Indenture and all documents and notices related thereto be drawn up in English.

- 16 -

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director (or equivalent), as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a particular series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of one or more series at the time Outstanding and, at such time, there are Outstanding Securities of any such affected series which are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then the principal amount of the Securities of such series which shall be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be the amount of Dollars which could be obtained for such principal amount at the Market Exchange Rate on the applicable record date established pursuant to Section 1.4 or, if no such record date shall have been established, on the date that the taking of such action shall be authorized by Act of the Holders of the Securities of all such affected series. For the purposes of this Section, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the average daily rate of exchange for the Foreign Currency in Dollars quoted by the Bank of Canada. If such Market Exchange Rate shall not be available for any reason with respect to such Foreign Currency, the Trustees shall use, at the direction of the Company and without liability on the part of the Trustees, such quotation by a comparable financial publication in general circulation as of the most recent available date, or quotations or rates of exchange from one or more major banks in Toronto, Canada or in the country of issue of the Foreign Currency in question, or such other quotations or rates of exchange as the Company shall direct. The provisions of this paragraph shall also apply in connection with any other action taken by the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including without limitation any action under Section 5.2.

All decisions and determinations of the Trustees, at the direction of the Company, regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

ARTICLE 2

SECURITY FORMS

The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. If the form of Securities of any series is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by a director or officer (or equivalent) of the Company and delivered to the Trustees at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 3.3 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities.

The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

The Trustees’ certificates of authentication shall be authenticated by one or both of the Trustees, acting as Authenticating Agent as appointed in an indenture supplemental hereto (subject to compliance with applicable Trust Indenture Laws), or by any Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to Section 6.18, and shall be in substantially

the following form: “This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

THE SECURITIES

The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Securities may be issued in one or more series. There shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution and, subject to Section 3.3, set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of Securities of any series:

- 18 -

- 19 -

- 20 -

All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officer’s Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to such Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture.

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by a director or officer (or equivalent) of the Company and delivered to the Trustees at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

Unless otherwise provided in accordance with Section 3.1, the Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any director or officer (or equivalent) of the Company.

Securities bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to one or both Trustees for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustees in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustees shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon (in addition to the compliance certificate(s) and opinion(s) provided for in Section 1.2), an Opinion of Counsel stating:

- 21 -

Such Opinion of Counsel may be combined with any Opinion of Counsel required to be delivered in connection with Section 1.2.

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustees shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustees’ own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustees.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication or, in the case of the original issuance of the Securities of a series, the date of original issuance of such Securities, as the case may be. If any additional Securities of a series (“Additional Securities”) issued after the date of original issuance of Securities of such series (“Original Securities”) are not fungible with such Original Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such Additional Securities shall be issued with a separate CUSIP or ISIN number so that they are distinguishable from the Original Securities.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by a Trustee or both Trustees by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustees for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

- 22 -

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of the Company Order the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustees a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities, and where any series of Securities that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable. The Company may appoint one or more “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

- 23 -

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustees) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

The provisions of Sections 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 are in respect of Global Securities:

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

3.5.2 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities 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 Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor securities depositary is not obtained, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Securities of such series shall no longer be represented by such Global Security and executes and delivers to the Trustees a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registerable or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.1.

- 24 -

3.5.3 Subject to Section 3.5.2 above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

3.5.4 Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

If any Security issued and certified hereunder becomes mutilated or is lost, destroyed or stolen, the Company, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Trustees shall certify and deliver, a replacement Security of like date and tenor as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon cancellation of such mutilated Security or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Security. The substituted Security shall be substantially in a form reasonably approved by the Company and the Trustees and shall be entitled to the benefit hereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Securities of the series. The applicant for a replacement Security shall bear the cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Company and the Trustees such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Security so lost, destroyed or stolen as shall be satisfactory to each of the Company and the Trustees in their discretion, and such applicant shall also furnish an indemnity and surety bond, in amount and form satisfactory to each of the Company and the Trustees in their discretion, and shall pay the reasonable charges and expenses of the Company and the Trustees in connection therewith. Any instructions by the Company to the Trustees under this Section shall include such indemnity for the protection of the Trustees as the Trustees may reasonably require.

Upon the issuance of any new Security 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 Trustees) in connection therewith.

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 Securities.

Unless otherwise provided in accordance with Section 3.1 for the Securities of any series, payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Security will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the U.S. Trustee and the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, except that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (a) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register or (b) wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register.

- 25 -

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security 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 Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series 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 Section 3.7.1 or 3.7.2 below:

3.7.1 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (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 Trustees in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the U.S. 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 U.S. 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 is provided for in this clause. Thereupon the U.S. 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 Trustees of the notice of the proposed payment. The U.S. 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 given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, 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 Securities of such series (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 the following Section 3.7.2.

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

- 26 -

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

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustees and any agent of the Company or the Trustees may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustees nor any agent of the Company or the Trustees shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustees, be delivered to the Trustees and shall be promptly cancelled by them. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustees for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustees (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustees) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustees. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustees shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest for any period of less than one year to which interest at a stated rate computed on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months is equivalent to the stated rate multiplied by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the product of (i) the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the first day of the relevant period falls and (ii) the sum of (A) the product of (x) 30 and (y) the number of complete months elapsed in the relevant period and (B) the actual number of days elapsed in any incomplete month in the relevant period, and (b) the denominator is the product of (i) 360 and (ii) the actual number of days in the relevant period.

- 27 -

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, the Company may, by providing notice to the Trustees at least three Business Days prior to the Maturity of any Securities, elect to have one or more Affiliates of the Company purchase all, but not less than all, of the Securities so to be redeemed or repaid at a price equal to the Redemption Price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest), in the case of Securities called for redemption, or at a price equal to the principal amount, in the case of Securities coming due at the Stated Maturity (in each case, the “Repayment Price”); provided that any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be paid by the Company. Upon payment therefor of an amount equal to the Repayment Price, and payment by the Company of accrued interest and premium, if any, such Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustees and a new certificate in the name of such Affiliate will be issued by the Trustees upon receipt by the Trustees of a Company Order, provided however, that such cancellation and reissuance of certificates shall be deemed not to represent a novation of the debt represented by such Securities, but rather such Securities shall be deemed transferred to such Affiliate and such debt shall continue to remain outstanding on the same terms subject to such modifications, if any, as may be agreed by the Company and such Affiliate in writing. Such Affiliate shall not be permitted to vote such Securities in connection with any matter put before Holders for approval, unless 100% of the Securities of each series entitled to be voted in respect of such matter are held by the Company or its Affiliates. Should such Affiliate and the Company, if applicable, fail to make full payment of the Repayment Price and accrued interest and premium, if any, on Maturity, then such Securities shall become due and payable as otherwise provided for but for this Section 3.11. The Trustees may request, and the Company and its counsel shall provide upon such request, any additional supporting documentation in connection with this Section 3.11, including but not limited to an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustees in support of the Affiliate purchase herein described.

ARTICLE 4

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

This Indenture (including the Company’s obligations hereunder) shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustees, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

- 28 -

and the Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustees as trust funds in trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustees for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustees under Section 6.11, the obligations of the Trustees to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.18 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustees pursuant to subclause (ii) of section (a) above, the obligations of the Trustees under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustees pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustees may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustees.

ARTICLE 5

REMEDIES

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.1:

- 29 -

- 30 -

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or 5.1(f)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing (and only in such circumstance), then either the Trustees or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustees if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or 5.1(f) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action by the Trustees or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustees as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustees, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

and

- 31 -

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The Company covenants that if:

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustees, pay to the Trustees, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustees may in their discretion proceed to protect and enforce their rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustees 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.

In the case of a default under Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), the Trustees may recover judgment in their own names and as trustees of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and payable. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustees shall be entitled and empowered in their own names and as trustees of an express trust against the Company, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Laws in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustees allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustees 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 Trustees and, in the event that the Trustees shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustees any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustees under Section 6.11.

- 32 -

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustees to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization. arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustees to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustees may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustees without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustees shall be brought in their own names as trustees 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 Trustees, their agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Any money collected by the Trustees pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustees and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustees under Section 6.11; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively.

No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

- 33 -

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such 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 of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent) and, if the terms of such Security so provide as contemplated by Section 3.1, to convert such Security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and, if applicable, any such right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

If either 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 such Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustees and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustees and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustees 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.

- 34 -

No delay or omission of the Trustees or of any Holder of any Securities 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 Trustees or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustees or by the Holders, as the case may be.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustees, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustees, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that:

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may by Act on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustees for any action taken, suffered or omitted by them as Trustees, 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, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Laws; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Laws shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company, and provided further that this Section does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustees, a suit instituted by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.8 or a suit by instituted Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a series on or after the Stated Maturity for such Securities.

- 35 -

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect its covenants or the performance of its obligations under this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustees pursuant to this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 6

THE TRUSTEES

(a) Each Trustee hereby accepts the duties and obligations imposed upon it by this Indenture and covenants and agrees to perform the same as herein expressed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

(b) With respect to the Canadian Trustee, in the exercise of powers and discharge of the duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Canadian Trustee shall exercise the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person, and shall act honestly and in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and with a view to and in the best interests of the Holders of the Securities. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Canadian Trustee from its duties, except, that to the extent permitted by Trust Indenture Legislation.

(c) With respect to the U.S. Trustee, if the U.S. Trustee has knowledge or notice of an Event of Default (subject to clause (d) of this Section 6.1), the U.S. Trustee shall exercise the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person, and shall act honestly and in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and with a view to and in the best interests of the Holders of the Securities. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the U.S. Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the U.S. Trustee;

- 36 -

(ii) in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the U.S. Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the U.S. Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the U.S. Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but not to verify the contents thereof or any conclusions therein; and

(iii) no provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the U.S. Trustee from their duties, except to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

(d) Except in the case of an Event of Default under Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) hereof of which a Responsible Officer of the U.S. Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustees shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of an Event of Default in respect of a series of Securities unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustees shall have received written notice from the Company, any other obligor of the Securities of such series or any Holder in respect of such series, which written notice shall describe such Event of Default and state that the notice is a notice of an Event of Default.

(e) The Trustees shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of the Trustees, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustees were grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with any direction of the Company or the Holders given under this Indenture.

The Company hereby represents to the Trustees that any account to be opened by the Trustees in connection with this Indenture, for or to the credit of the Company, either (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party, or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case the Company hereby agrees to complete, execute and deliver forthwith to the Trustees, a declaration, in the Trustees’ prescribed form or such other form as may be satisfactory to it, as to the particulars of such third party.

The Company represents to the Trustees that it is entering into this Indenture on its own behalf and not as an agent for any third party.

Each of the Trustees shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, such Trustee, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should either Trustee, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Indenture has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then such Trustee shall have the right to resign on 10 days’ written notice to all parties provided (i) that such Trustee’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to such Trustee’s satisfaction within such 10 day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

- 37 -

The parties and the Holders acknowledge that U.S. and Canadian federal and/or state or provincial legislation that addresses the protection of individuals’ personal information (collectively, “Privacy Laws”) applies to certain obligations and activities under this Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, no party shall take or direct any action that would contravene, or cause the other to contravene, applicable Privacy Laws. The parties shall, prior to transferring or causing to be transferred personal information to the Trustees, obtain and retain required consents of the relevant individuals to the collection, use and disclosure of their personal information, or shall have determined that such consents either have previously been given upon which the parties can rely or are not required under the Privacy Laws. The Trustees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that their services hereunder comply with Privacy Laws. Specifically, each of the Trustees agrees: (a) to have a designated chief privacy officer; (b) to maintain policies and procedures to protect personal information and to receive and respond to any privacy complaint or inquiry; (c) to use personal information solely for the purposes of providing its services under or ancillary to this Indenture and to comply with applicable laws and not to use it for any other purpose except with the consent of or direction from the Company or the individual involved or as permitted by Privacy Laws; (d) not to sell or otherwise improperly disclose personal information to any third party; and (e) to employ administrative, physical and technological safeguards to reasonably secure and protect personal information against loss, theft, or unauthorized access, use or modification.

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustees shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default, within 90 days of the occurrence thereof in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA § 313(c). Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series or in the deposit of any sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series (if applicable), the Trustees may withhold the notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of each Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is not opposed to the interests of Holders. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.5:

- 38 -

- 39 -

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustees, their directors, officers, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damage, claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Holder or any other person) or expense (including reasonable compensation or expenses and disbursements of the Trustees’ counsel), including any such amount incurred in connection with enforcing the Company’s obligations, including its obligation to indemnify the Trustees hereunder (collectively, the “Losses”) in connection with or arising out of the administration of this Indenture by the Trustees or the exercise or performance of the Trustees’ rights, duties or powers hereunder, or in connection with the enforcement of any rights of Holders hereunder, in each case, done or made in good faith by the Trustees’ hereunder and in accordance with the standards set forth in this Article 6 and except to the extent that such Losses were incurred to the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnitee. This provision shall survive the resignation or removal of either or both of the Trustees and the termination or discharge of this Indenture.

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustees’ certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustees nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustees nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. The Trustees shall not be bound to give any notice of the execution hereof.

- 40 -

The Trustees, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.12 and 6.17, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Money held by a Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Such Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

The Company agrees

Any amount due under this Section that remains unpaid for 30 days after request for such payment is made shall bear interest from the expiration of such 30 days at a rate per annum equal to the then current rate charged by the Trustees from time to time, payable on demand. After default, all amounts so payable and the interest thereon shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Trustees or its successors in the trusts hereunder in priority to any payment of the principal of or interest or premium on the Securities.

6.12.1 Each Trustee represents to the Company that at the date of execution and delivery by it of this Indenture, there exists no material conflict of interest between its role as Trustee hereunder and its role in any other capacity. Each Trustee shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that such a material conflict of interest ((including, solely with respect to the U.S. Trustee, any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of TIA § 310(b)) exists, either eliminate such conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.14.

- 41 -

6.12.2 If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.12.1, a Trustee has such a material conflict of interest, the validity and enforceability of this Indenture and of the Securities issued hereunder shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only of such material conflict of interest.

6.12.3 If at any time either Trustee fails to comply with the provisions of Section 6.12.1, such Trustee shall within 10 days after the expiration of the 90-day period referred to therein, transmit notice of such failure to the Holders of Securities as required by TIA § 313(c).

6.13.1 There shall at all times be a Canadian Trustee and a U.S. Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be the Canadian Trustee and the U.S. Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series; provided that if it is no longer necessary or advisable under the Trust Indenture Laws to have both a Canadian Trustee and a U.S. Trustee in connection with this Indenture or one or more series of Securities hereunder, then the Company by a Board Resolution may remove either such Trustee that is then no longer so necessary or advisable with respect to the Indenture or one or more series of Securities. The Company shall give notice of such removal of a Trustee with respect to the Indenture or one or more series of Securities to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. For the avoidance of doubt, all other requirements of Section 6.14 with respect to the removal of such Trustee do not apply to such removal under this Section.

6.13.2 Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to applicable Trust Indenture Laws to act as such and has a corporate trust office in New York, New York (in the case of the U.S. Trustee) or Toronto, Ontario (in the case of the Canadian Trustee).

6.13.3 The U.S. Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1). The U.S. Trustee shall at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recently published annual report. In accordance with TIA § 310(a)(5), the Company (or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with either of them) shall not serve as U.S. Trustee.

6.13.4 For so long as required by Trust Indenture Legislation, the Canadian Trustee shall at all times be organized under the laws of Canada or any province thereof and authorized under the law of Ontario to carry on trust business therein and qualified to act as a trustee for the Securities and the Indenture in accordance with applicable Trust Indenture Legislation, and the U.S. trustee shall be qualified to act as a trustee for the Securities and the Indenture in accordance with the Trust Indenture Act. If at any times either Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section, it shall immediately notify the Company.

6.13.5 The rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustees shall be conferred or imposed upon such Trustees jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, either Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by the other Trustee that is competent or qualified to perform such act or acts.

- 42 -

6.13.6 If at any time a Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.13, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

No resignation or removal of a Trustee (other than a removal pursuant to Section 6.13.1) and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.15.

A Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving 30 days’ advance written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.15 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

A Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustees and to the Company.

If at any time:

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove such Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. For avoidance of doubt, a Trustee may be removed pursuant to Section 6.13.1 in accordance with the provisions of that Section.

- 43 -

If a Trustee shall resign, be removed (other than pursuant to Section 6.13.1) or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of a Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the eligibility requirements of 6.13 and the applicable requirements of Section 6.15. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.15, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.15, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Trustee under this Section 6.14 with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

- 44 -

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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, including without limitation the eligibility requirements of Section 6.13.

Any Person into which a Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which a Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of a Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, including without limitation the eligibility requirements of Section 6.13 provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustees then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

6.17.1 Neither the Canadian Trustee nor any Affiliate or related person, as defined in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), to the Canadian Trustee shall be appointed a receiver or receiver and manager or liquidator of all or any part of the assets or undertaking of the Company.

- 45 -

6.17.2 The U.S. Trustee shall comply with the requirements of TIA § 311 regarding preferential collection of claims against the Company.

The Trustees may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustees to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities 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 Trustees hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustees or the Trustees’ certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustees by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustees by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be either (i) organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, or the laws of Canada or any province thereof, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent and subject to supervision or examination by U.S. Federal or State authority, or (ii) be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of Canada or any province thereof authorized under such law to act as Authenticating Agent and subject to supervision or examination by governmental authority of its jurisdiction of formation. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Trustees shall be deemed to be in compliance with the two preceding sentences and shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company to act as Authenticating Agent. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ advance written notice thereof to the Trustees and to the Company. The Trustees 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 Trustees may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. 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.

- 46 -

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section as agreed upon by the Company and such Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustees’ certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

“This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Trustees shall not be held liable, or held in breach of this Indenture, if prevented, hindered, or delayed in the performance or observance of any provision contained herein by reason of act of God, riots, terrorism, acts of war, earthquakes, pandemic, epidemic, governmental action, judicial order, or any other similar causes (including, but not limited to, mechanical, electronic or communication interruptions, disruptions or failures). Performance times under this Indenture shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of any delay that is excusable under this Section 6.19, it being understood that the Trustees shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

The Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for hereunder. The Company shall make such calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations shall be final and binding on the Holders and the Trustees. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the U.S. Trustee and the U.S. Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification in the absence of manifest error.

- 47 -

ARTICLE 7

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

The Trustees shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders received by the Security Registrar(s). The Company shall comply with any obligations under TIA § 312(a) in connection with furnishing any such information to the Security Registrar.

The Trustees shall provide to any Holder such information with respect to other Holders as is required under any applicable Trust Indenture Laws.

The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustees, shall be as provided by applicable Trust Indenture Laws, including without limitation in the case of the U.S. Trustee, TIA § 312(b), and with the full protections of TIA § 312(c).

Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Trustees that neither the Company nor the Trustees nor any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of such list of the names and addresses of the Holders, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Company and the Trustees shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under the Trust Indenture Act or pursuant to or in compliance with any Trust Indenture Legislation.

The Canadian Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Canadian Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Legislation at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. The U.S. Trustee shall transmit all such reports required pursuant to TIA § 313(a) and (b) to all Persons required to receive such reports pursuant to TIA § 313(c).

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustees shall be for informational purposes only and the Trustees’ receipt of such reports, information and documents 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 Trustees are entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustees shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, our compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the Commission or any other governmental authority or website under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate, and the Trustees, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustees, for any of the following purposes:

- 50 -

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustees, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustees may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

- 51 -

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustees shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, in addition to the statements required under Section 1.2 stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture is valid and binding on the Company in accordance with its terms. The Trustees may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustees’ own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

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 Holders of all or the affected Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder, as applicable, shall be bound thereby.

- 52 -

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Laws.

Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustees, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustees as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustees, relying upon the opinion or advice of counsel, and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustees in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

ARTICLE 10

COVENANTS

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustees of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustees with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustees, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustees of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

- 53 -

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustees of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Laws, and (unless such Paying Agent is a Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustees of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities (unless such Paying Agent is a Trustee as appointed in an indenture supplemental hereto) to execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Laws applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, the Paying Agent shall give the Trustees notice of such default, and upon the written request of the Trustees, forthwith pay to the Trustees all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustees all sums held by the Company in trust or by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustees upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustees, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with any Paying Agent, or deposited with either Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustees or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustees or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

- 54 -

The Company shall deliver to the Trustees, as soon as possible and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default, and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustees, within 120 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, a brief certificate from each of its principal executive, financial or accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the compliance of the Company with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) which certificate shall comply with the requirements of TIA § 314(a)(4). Subject to applicable Trust Indenture Laws, the delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustees shall be for informational purposes only and any Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents 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 Trustees are entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant established pursuant to Section 3.1(r), 9.1(c) or 9.1(g) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in Section 10.4 or 10.5, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 11

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Securities of any series which are redeemable at the election of the Company before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities) and in accordance with this Article.

- 55 -

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of all or less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Global Security), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustees), notify the Trustees of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustees with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. The Company shall provide written notice of any election of redemption to the Trustee no later than three (3) Business Days prior to when notice is due to Holders.

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustees, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustees shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, or in the case of Global Securities, by such policies and procedures of the applicable Depositary, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustees, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

The Trustees shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.6 not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his, her or its address appearing in the Security Register.

- 56 -

All notices of redemption shall state:

If such redemption or notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions precedent shall be satisfied and a new Redemption Date will be set by the Company in accordance with applicable Depositary or Trustee procedures, or such redemption may not occur and such notice of redemption may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions precedent shall not have been satisfied, or in the reasonable judgment of the Company, are not reasonably expected to be satisfied, by the Redemption Date (or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, if applicable).

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent.

The Redemption Price shall be calculated by the Company and provided in writing to the Trustees and any Paying Agent for the Securities, and the Trustees and any Paying Agent for the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such calculation in the absence of manifest error. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

- 57 -

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustees or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms (or, in the case of Defaulted Interest, on the Special Record Dates(s)) and the provisions of Section 3.7.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustees so require, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustees duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE 12

SINKING FUNDS

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.

- 58 -

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustees at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustees an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the Trustees any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 60 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustees shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.

ARTICLE 13

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.1 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.2 or 13.3, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.1 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.

- 59 -

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations, with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustees, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustees hereunder, and (4) this Article 13. Subject to compliance with this Article 13, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 13.3 applied to such Securities.

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 10.4 and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.1(r), 9.1(c) or 9.1(g) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 5.1(d), 5.1(e), 5.1(f) and 5.1(g) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.1(d)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

- 60 -

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

- 61 -

- 62 -

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustees or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 13.6, the Trustees and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.4 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

The Company may exercise the Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of Covenant Defeasance if the Company meets the conditions required set forth in Section 13.4.

If the Trustees or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustees or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.5 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article 13; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payments from the money so held in trust.

- 63 -

ARTICLE 14

MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

14.1.1 The Trustees may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of all or any one or more series, and the Trustees shall convene a meeting upon receipt of a request of the Company or upon receipt of a request in writing to the Trustees by the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, for the purpose of making, giving or taking any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, to be held at such time and at such place in Toronto, Ontario or City of New York, New York or as the Trustees shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, not less than 21 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. The Holders calling a meeting shall (i) reimburse the Trustees for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses relating to the calling and holding of such meeting, and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Trustees against any loss, liability or expense that it may incur arising out of or in connection with such meeting, including the costs and expenses of defending the Trustees against any claim or liability in connection with such meeting.

14.1.2 In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have requested the Trustees to call a meeting of the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in Section 14.1.1, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting (which notice need not include the terms of any resolution to be proposed), and the Trustees shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in The City of New York, New York or Toronto, Ontario for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in Section 14.1.1.

To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person must be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder of Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustees and the Trustees’ counsel and any representatives of the Company and their counsel.

- 64-

14.3.1 The Persons entitled to vote 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the applicable series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that, if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chair of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. At the reconvening of any adjourned meeting, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum and shall transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened, notwithstanding that they may not represent at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities.

14.3.2 Except as limited by Sections 9.2 and 10.6, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series as are entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that, except as limited by Sections 9.2 and 10.6, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of not less than such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series present at such meeting.

14.3.3 Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the related coupons, if any, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

14.3.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3, if any action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and one or more additional series:

- 65 -

14.4.1 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustees may make such reasonable regulations as the Trustees may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.4 or other proof.

14.4.2 The Trustees shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chair of the meeting, which need not be a Holder of Securities, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 14.1.2, in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chair. A permanent chair and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

14.4.3 At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him, her or it (determined as specified in the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.1); provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chair of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chair of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

14.4.4 Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 14.1 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by the chair of the meeting with consent of the Holders entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting and voting thereon; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The chair of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 14.1 and, if applicable, Section 14.3. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the chair and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustees to be preserved by the Trustees, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

All actions that may be taken and all powers that may be exercised by the Holders at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series may also be taken and exercised by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts by Holders representing not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series as are entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that, except as limited by Sections 9.2 and 10.6, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may also be taken and exercised by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts by the Holders of not less than such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series as are entitled to vote at such meeting.

The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”); (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument. For avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

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