is a Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement) of each year, beginning on August 15, 2024, which interest shall accrue from and including February 9, 2024 or, if interest has already been paid or duly provided for, from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate of 5.00% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for, and (to the extent lawful) to pay interest on any overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes from the date of the Interest Payment Date on which such overdue interest becomes payable to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture (as defined below), be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1, as applicable (whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date (such date, the “Regular Record Date”) for such interest. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for, and interest on such Default Interest, at the interest rate borne by the Notes, to the extent lawful, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Default Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

SECTION 203 FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 5.00% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2029 (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an indenture (as the same may from time to time be supplemented or amended (other than by a Series Supplement), herein called the “Base Indenture”) dated as of August 6, 2008, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee thereunder), as supplemented and amended by the Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 9, 2024, among the Company, as issuer of the Notes, the Trustee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (“RCCI”), as Guarantor, (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which the Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, RCCI, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made in United States dollars.

The Company will pay to the Holders such Additional Amounts as may become payable under Section 907 of the Base Indenture.

On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent an amount in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the amount due on such payment date.

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, RCCI has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. RCCI will pay to the Holders such Additional Amounts as may become payable under Section 704 of the Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes will be subject to redemption upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at any time and from time to time, as a whole or in part, in amounts of U.S.$2,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, at the option of the Company: (i) prior to the Par Call Date, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (2) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes to be redeemed are scheduled to mature on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus the Applicable Basis Points less (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date, and (ii) commencing on the Par Call Date, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs:

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to such Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than such Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than such Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to such Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the applicable Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

The Notes will also be subject to redemption as a whole, but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time and from time to time, on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date, in the event the Company or RCCI, as the case may be, has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes or the Guarantee, as applicable, any Additional Amounts as a result of certain changes affecting Canadian withholding taxes on or after the Issue Date.

Any optional redemption of the Notes (and any related notice of redemption) (whether prior to, on or after the Par Call Date) may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an equity or other securities offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or other financing, or any other transaction or event. If such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice must describe each such condition, and if applicable, state that, in the Company’s discretion, such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the applicable date fixed for redemption. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and other amounts owing for the redemption of any Notes and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

In the case of any redemption of Notes, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of record of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Securities, at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Notes (or portions thereof), for whose redemption

and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture, shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a replacement Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from a Change in Control Triggering Event which is cured in accordance with Section 404 of the Supplemental Indenture by the making and consummation of a Change in Control Offer) shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

In addition, it shall be an Event of Default under the Indenture if a Change in Control Triggering Event occurs on or prior to the Maturity of the Notes (subject to the aforesaid cure provisions). Following such an Event of Default the principal amount of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture unless the Company (or a third party) offers, within 20 Business Days after the occurrence of such Event of Default, to purchase the Notes and purchases the Notes for the Change in Control Purchase Price in cash on the date that is 40 Business Days after the occurrence of the Change in Control Triggering Event from a Holder who delivers and does not withdraw a Change in Control Purchase Notice. Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for the defeasance and discharge of the Notes.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$2,000 or any integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. Prior to the time of due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the

owner hereof for all purposes except as otherwise provided, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to the Indenture duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and containing identical terms and provisions, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Interest shall accrue on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Note at a rate of interest equal to 5.00% per annum from February 9, 2024 or, if interest has been paid or duly provided for, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day without any additional interest accruing between the Interest Payment Date and the day payment is actually made. The Regular Record Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be the February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. To the extent lawful, interest shall accrue on any overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes from the date of the Interest Payment Date on which such overdue interest becomes payable to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for and such Default Interest shall be payable at the times and on the terms provided for in the Indenture.

All Initial Notes and Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

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

The Notes shall be denominated in, and all principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes shall be payable in U.S. dollars. Any payment of Additional Amounts hereunder shall also be payable in U.S. dollars.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company at the prices, at the times and on such other terms and conditions as are specified in the form of the Note in Article Two hereof.

SECTION 305 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF DEFINITIVE NOTES FOR DEFINITIVE NOTES.

When Notes in the form of a Definitive Note are presented to the Security Registrar with a request:

(a) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

(b) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

SECTION 306 TRANSFER OF A DEFINITIVE NOTE FOR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A GLOBAL NOTE.

A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes for the applicable Series. If no Global Notes are then outstanding, the Company may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Security Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant

account of such Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note, and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note, and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

(b) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. .

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture (other than Section 304), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

(c) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar may deem and treat the person

in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(d) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(e) The Security Registrar and the Trustee may request such evidence as may be reasonably requested by them to determine the identity and signatures of the transferor and the transferee.

SECTION 310 NO OBLIGATION OF THE TRUSTEE.

(a) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary (“Agent Members”) or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or their respective nominees or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(b) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 311 NON-COMPLIANT TRANSFERS NULL AND VOID.

Any purported transfer of a Note, or any interest therein, to a purchaser or transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Article Three shall be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio.

SECTION 312 DEFINITIVE NOTES.

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or Custodian pursuant to Section 201 may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes

in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with this Article Three and (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise ceases to be eligible as a depositary and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation, or (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and, in the case of an Event of Default arising upon a Change in Control Triggering Event, such Event of Default shall not have been cured by a Change of Control Offer in the prescribed time) and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary or (3) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under the Indenture. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note, by providing a written request to the Company and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by the Indenture or the Company or the Trustee.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 312 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 312 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of U.S.$2,000 or any integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

REMEDIES UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL

SECTION 401 ADDITIONAL EVENT OF DEFAULT.

In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 401 of the Indenture, “Event of Default”, wherever used herein and in the Indenture with respect to the Notes, includes the occurrence of a Change in Control Triggering Event (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), subject to any cure thereof as provided in Section 404 below.

Under this Supplemental Indenture, a “Change in Control Triggering Event” is deemed to occur upon both a Change in Control and a Rating Decline with respect to the Notes. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to whether a Rating Decline with respect to the Notes has occurred.

A “Change in Control” means (i) any transaction (including an amalgamation, merger or consolidation or the sale of Capital Stock of the Company) the result of which is that any Person or group of Persons (as the term “group” is used in Rule 13d−5 of the Exchange Act), other than Members of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family or a Person or group of Persons consisting of or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more Members of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family, acquires, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of Voting Shares of the Company or (ii) any transaction (including an amalgamation, merger or consolidation or the sale of Capital Stock of the Company) the result of which is that any Person or group of Persons, other than (A) Members of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family or a Person or group of Persons consisting of or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more Members of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family or (B) for so long as the only primary beneficiaries of a Qualifying Trust established under the last will and testament of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are one or more persons referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family” or the Spouse, for the time being and from time to time, of the issue (including individuals adopted by such Persons, provided that such adopted individuals have not attained the age of majority at the date of such adoption, together with the issue of any such adopted individuals) of any person described in subclause (i)(b) or (c) of the definition of “Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family”, any Person designated by the trustees of such Qualifying Trust to exercise voting rights attaching to any shares held by such trustees, has elected to the Board of Directors such number of its or their nominees so that such nominees so elected shall constitute a majority of the number of the directors comprising the Board of Directors; provided that to the extent that one or more regulatory approvals are required for any of the transactions or circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above to become effective under applicable law, such transactions or circumstances shall be deemed to have occurred at the time such approvals have been obtained and become effective under applicable law.

“Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family” means (i) such of the following persons as are living at the date of this Supplemental Indenture or are born after the date of this Supplemental Indenture and before the Perpetuity Date: (a) the widow, if any, of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (who was born on May 27, 1933, such individual being hereinafter referred to as “▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇”); (b) the issue of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇; (c) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the half−sister of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the issue of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; (d) individuals adopted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of the persons described in subclauses (a) or (b) of this clause (i) provided that such adopted individuals have not attained the age of majority at the date of such adoption, together with the issue of any such adopted individuals; provided that if any person is born out of wedlock he shall be deemed not to be the issue of another person for the purposes hereof unless and until he is proven or acknowledged to be the issue of such person and; (ii) the trustees of any Qualifying Trust, but only to the extent of such Qualifying Trust’s Family Percentage Holding of voting securities or rights to control or direct the voting securities of the Company at the time of the determination.

“Family Percentage Holding” means the aggregate percentage of the securities held by a Qualifying Trust representing, directly or indirectly, an interest in voting securities or rights to control or direct the voting securities of the Company, that it is reasonable, under all the circumstances, to regard as being held beneficially for Qualified Persons (or any class consisting of two or more Qualified Persons); provided always that in calculating the Family Percentage Holding (A) in respect of any power of appointment or discretionary trust capable of being exercised in favor of any of the Qualified Persons such trust or power shall be deemed to have been exercised in favor of Qualified Persons until such trust or power has been otherwise exercised; (B) where any beneficiary of a Qualifying Trust has assigned, transferred or conveyed, in any manner whatsoever, his or her beneficial interest to another person, then, for the purpose of determining the Family Percentage Holding in respect of such Qualifying Trust, the person to whom such interest has been assigned, transferred or conveyed shall be regarded as the only person beneficially interested in the Qualifying Trust in respect of such interest but in the case where the interest is so assigned, transferred or conveyed is an interest in a discretionary trust or is an interest which may arise as a result of the exercise in favor of the assignor of a discretionary power of appointment and such discretionary trust or power of appointment is also capable of being exercised in favor of persons described in clause (i) of the definition of “Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family”, such discretionary trust or power shall be deemed to have been so exercised in favor of Qualified Persons until it has in fact been exercised; and (C) the interest of any Permitted Residuary Beneficiary shall be ignored until its interest has indefeasibly vested.

“Permitted Residuary Beneficiary” means any person who is a beneficiary of a Qualifying Trust and, under the terms of the Qualifying Trust, is entitled to distributions out of the capital of such Qualifying Trust only after the death of all of the Qualified Persons who are beneficiaries of such Qualifying Trust.

“Perpetuity Date” means the date that is 21 years, less one day, from the date of the death of the last survivor of the individuals described in subclause (i)(a), (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of “Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family”, who are living at the date of this Supplemental Indenture.

“Qualifying Trust” means a trust (whether testamentary or inter vivos) any beneficiary of which is a person referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family” or the Spouse, for the time being and from time to time, of the issue (including individuals adopted by such Persons, provided that such adopted individuals have not attained the age of majority at the date of such adoption, together with the issue of any such adopted individuals) of any person described in subclause (i)(b) or (c) of the definition of “Member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family”, provided that such Spouse is living at the date of this Supplemental Indenture or is born after the date of this Supplemental Indenture and before the Perpetuity Date (all such persons being hereafter referred to as “Qualified Persons”).

“Spouse” means, in relation to any person, a person who is legally married to that person and includes a widow or widower of that person, notwithstanding remarriage.

SECTION 402 ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

If a Change in Control Triggering Event occurs and is continuing and the Company (or a third party) fails in any material respect to comply with any of the provisions of Section 404 hereof, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may declare the principal of all such Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal shall become immediately due and payable.

If the Company elects to cure such Event of Default, within 20 Business Days of the occurrence of an Event of Default arising from a Change in Control Triggering Event, (i) the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the occurrence of the Change in Control Triggering Event and shall make an offer to purchase (the “Change in Control Offer”) all outstanding Notes properly tendered at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Change in Control Purchase Date (as hereinafter defined) (the “Change in Control Purchase Price”) on the date that is 40 Business Days after the occurrence of the Change in Control Triggering Event (the “Change in Control Purchase Date”), (ii) the Trustee shall deliver a copy of the Change in Control Offer to each Holder and (iii) the Company shall cause a notice of the Change in Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow ▇▇▇▇▇ News Service or similar business news service in the United States and CNW Group Ltd. (Canada News Wire or Cision Canada) or a similar news service in Canada. The Change in Control Offer shall remain open from the time such offer is made until the Change in Control Purchase Date. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain the occurrence of a Change in Control Triggering Event or to give notice with respect thereto other than as provided above upon receipt of a Change in Control Offer from the Company. The Trustee may conclusively assume, in the absence of receipt of a Change in Control Offer from the Company, that no Change in Control Triggering Event has occurred.

The delivery of such Note (together with all necessary endorsements) to the Paying Agent at the office of the Paying Agent or to an office or agency referred to in Section 902 of the Indenture prior to, on or after the Change in Control Purchase Date shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change in Control Purchase Price therefor; provided that such Change in Control Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 404 only if the Note so delivered to the Paying Agent or to an office or agency referred to in Section 902 of the Indenture shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Change in Control Purchase Notice.

The aggregate amount of all Secured Debt in the preceding sentence excludes Secured Debt which is secured equally and ratably with the Notes and Secured Debt that is being repaid concurrently.

SECTION 504 LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY DEBT.

The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Debt (other than Debt to the extent that the Notes are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt), unless:

(1) the obligations of the Company under the Notes are guaranteed (which guarantee may be on an unsecured basis) by such Restricted Subsidiary such that the claim of the Holders of the Notes under such guarantee ranks prior to or pari passu with such Debt; or

(2) after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the sum of (without duplication) (x) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Debt of all Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Exempted Secured Debt, and for the avoidance of doubt, any Debt permitted by clause (1) of this Section 504), (y) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Secured Debt of the Company (not on a Consolidated basis) and (z) Attributable Debt relating to then outstanding Sale and Leaseback Transactions, would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that this restriction will not apply to, and there will be excluded from any calculation hereunder, (A) Debt owing by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary and (B) Debt secured by Permitted Liens; provided, further, that this restriction will not prohibit the incurrence of Debt in connection with any extension, renewal or replacement (including successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Debt of the Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that the principal amount of such Debt immediately prior to such extension, renewal or replacement is not increased).

SECTION 505 WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

Pursuant to Section 910 of the Indenture, the Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition in Section 905 or 906 thereof and any covenant or condition in Section 501, 502, 503 or 504 of this Supplemental Indenture if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall, by Holder Direction, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

The Guarantee shall be an unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of RCCI ranking pari passu with other present and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of RCCI. The Company hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees the Guarantee of RCCI.

(b) RCCI agrees that, without obtaining the consent of or giving notice to RCCI, the Trustee may vary this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture, as provided herein and therein, grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Company and other parties as the Trustee may see fit and may apply all monies received from the Company or others or from securities upon such part of the Company’s liability as the Trustee may think best without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening the liability of RCCI under this Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee expressly reserves all its rights under the Indenture, and any such variances shall not be deemed waivers of any rights or other provisions under the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture.

(c) The Guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee of all the Guaranteed Obligations and shall apply to any ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Holders of the Notes. The Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation at any time of any sum of money which may at any time be or become owing or due or remain unpaid to the Holders of the Notes.

(d) The Guarantee shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any change in the name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or RCCI, or by any merger or amalgamation of the Company or RCCI with any Person or Persons, except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture or the applicable provisions of the Indenture. In the case of the Company being amalgamated with another corporation, the Guarantee shall apply to the liabilities of the resulting corporation, and the term “Company” shall include each such resulting corporation.

(e) All monies, advances, renewals and credits in fact borrowed or obtained by the Company under this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to form part of the liabilities

hereby guaranteed notwithstanding any limitation of status or of power of the Company or of the directors or agents thereof or that the Company may not be a legal entity or any irregularity, defect or informality in the borrowing or obtaining of such monies, advances, renewals or credits.

(f) The obligations of RCCI hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any moneys or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by RCCI hereunder which may not be recoverable from RCCI on the basis of a guarantee or as surety shall be recoverable from RCCI as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof.

(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to exhaust its recourse against the Company or other parties before being entitled to demand payment from or performance by RCCI and enforce its rights under this Supplemental Indenture.

(h) Any account settled or stated by or between the Trustee and the Company in relation to this Supplemental Indenture shall be accepted by RCCI as conclusive evidence that the balance or amount thereby appearing due by the Company to the Trustee is so due.

(i) RCCI shall make payment to the Trustee of the amount of the liability of RCCI forthwith after demand therefor is made in writing during the continuance of any Event of Default and such demand shall be conclusively deemed to have been effectually made when delivered in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein and the liability of RCCI shall bear interest from the date of such demand at the rate borne by the Notes, such interest to be calculated monthly based on the number of days elapsed and to be deemed payable on the first Business Day of a month in respect of the immediately preceding month or upon demand, whichever is earlier.

(j) All amounts payable by RCCI under this Supplemental Indenture shall be paid without set−off or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding whatsoever unless and to the extent that RCCI shall be prohibited by law from doing so, in which case RCCI shall, only to the extent such a similar requirement is imposed on the Company pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, pay to the Trustee such additional amount as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trustee receives the full amount it would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(k) RCCI acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably designated and appointed CT Corporation System (“CT Corporation”) as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes, the Guarantee or this Supplemental Indenture that may be instituted in any federal or state court in the State of New York or brought under federal or state securities laws. RCCI acknowledges that CT Corporation has accepted such designation, submits to the non−exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding and acknowledges further that service of process upon CT Corporation (or any successor) and written notice of said service to RCCI shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon RCCI in any such suit or proceeding. RCCI further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of CT Corporation (or any successor) in full force and effect so

long as any of the Notes shall be outstanding. In addition, to the extent that RCCI has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the above−referenced documents, to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 702 RELEASE OF GUARANTOR.

(a) In addition to the release provisions set forth in the Indenture, subject to Section 702(d), RCCI shall be released and relieved from all of its obligations under this Article Seven, and RCCI’s Guarantee shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect, upon the request of the Company (without the consent of the Trustee) if, immediately after giving effect to such release and termination (and, if applicable, any transaction in connection therewith, including any other concurrent release, termination, repayment or discharge of any other guarantee or other Debt of RCCI), the Company would be in compliance with Section 504 hereof, including in the event of a sale or other transaction as a result of which RCCI would cease to be a Subsidiary.

(b) In order to effect the release and termination provided for in Section 702(a), the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that, immediately after giving effect to such release and termination (as well as any concurrent release, termination, repayment or discharge of any other guarantee or other Debt of RCCI), the Company will be in compliance with Section 504 hereof. In the event that the release and termination is in connection with a sale or other transaction as a result of which RCCI would cease to be a Subsidiary, pro forma effect shall be given to such transaction (including the application of any proceeds therefrom) in determining the Company’s compliance with Section 504 and, accordingly, the amount of Debt subject to the Guarantee of RCCI and any other Debt of RCCI shall be excluded from any calculation thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, no opinion, report or certificate, other than the Officers’ Certificate provided for in this Section 702(b), need be furnished to the Trustee for such release and termination. After its receipt of the aforementioned Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Company or RCCI in order to evidence the release of RCCI from its obligations under the Guarantee under this Article Seven.

(c) No supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note, release RCCI from any of its obligations under Section 701, other than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 702 or the other release provisions set forth in the Indenture, or amend or modify the release provisions of this Section 702.

(d) Notwithstanding the release provisions of Section 702(a), RCCI shall not be released from its obligations under this Article Seven and the Guarantee will not be terminated if, immediately after such release and termination (and, if applicable, after giving effect to any transaction to occur concurrently therewith), RCCI remains a co−obligor with or a guarantor for, as applicable, the obligations of the Company under any Existing Note.

(e) Notwithstanding the release provisions of this Section 702, any Person added as a Guarantor at the option of the Company pursuant to Section 801(f) of the Indenture may be released at the option of the Company at any time upon such conditions as may be specified in the supplement to this Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such added Guarantor provided its Guarantee. No opinion, report or certificate, other than the Officers’ Certificate provided for in this Section 702(b), need be furnished to the Trustee for a release and termination pursuant to this Section 702(e). Nothing in this Section 702(e) shall modify or amend the release provisions applicable to RCCI pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 702.

SECTION 703 AMALGAMATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE.

(a) Unless RCCI has been released, or in connection with such transaction will be released, from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of Section 702 hereof or any other release provision set forth in the Indenture, RCCI shall not amalgamate or consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person by liquidation, winding−up or otherwise (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) unless:

(i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Debt which becomes an obligation of RCCI or a Subsidiary of RCCI in connection with or as a result of such transaction as having been incurred at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) either (x) RCCI shall be the continuing Person or (y) the Person (if other than RCCI) formed by such amalgamation or consolidation or into which RCCI is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition the properties and assets of RCCI substantially as an entirety (the “Successor Guarantor”) shall, unless the Successor Guarantor is the Company, (A) be a corporation, company, partnership or trust organized and validly existing under the federal laws of Canada or any Province thereof or the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (B) expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of RCCI under the Guarantee (provided, however, that the Successor Guarantor shall not be required to execute and deliver such a supplemental indenture in the event of an amalgamation of RCCI with one or more other Persons, in which the amalgamation is governed by the laws of Canada or any province thereof, the Successor Guarantor and RCCI are, immediately prior to such amalgamation, organized and existing under the laws of Canada or any province thereof and upon the effectiveness of such amalgamation, the Successor Guarantor shall have become or shall continue to be (as the case may be), by operation of law, liable for the observance of all obligations of RCCI under the Guarantee); and

(iii) RCCI, the Company or the Successor Guarantor, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,

each stating that such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction (or series of transactions), such supplemental indenture, comply with this Section 703(a) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

(b) Upon any amalgamation, consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets of RCCI substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 703(a), the Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, RCCI under this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Guarantor had been named as a Guarantor herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, RCCI shall be released and relieved from all of its obligations under this Article Seven, and RCCI’s Guarantee shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.

SECTION 704 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS.

All payments made by RCCI under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or of any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter “Taxes”), unless RCCI is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If RCCI is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, RCCI will pay as interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of such Notes in respect of a beneficial owner (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such holder would have received in respect of the beneficial owner if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder of the Notes in respect of a beneficial owner (i) with which RCCI does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)) at the time of making such payment or which is entitled to the payment in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with which RCCI does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) at the time of making such payment, (ii) which is a “specified shareholder” of RCCI, or which does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) with a “specified shareholder” of RCCI as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act, (iii) which is an entity in respect of which RCI is a “specified entity” (as defined in proposed subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act contained in Bill C-59), (iv) where all or any portion of the amount paid or credited to such holder is deemed to be a dividend pursuant to subsection 214(6) of the Tax Act, (v) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the holder or beneficial owner carrying on business in, maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the acquisition or mere holding of Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder, (vi) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the legal nature of the holder or beneficial owner disentitling such holder or beneficial owner to the benefit of an applicable treaty or convention if and to the extent that the application of such treaty or convention would have resulted in the reduction or elimination of any Taxes as to which Additional Amounts

would have otherwise been payable to a holder on behalf of such beneficial owner, (vii) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the failure by a holder or beneficial owner to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a pre-condition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Taxes, (viii) if the Notes are presented for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment or such Notes became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented on the last day of such 15-day period), (ix) on account of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, value added, excise, transfer, use, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge, (x) that is a fiduciary, partnership or any other entity other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed had the holder of the Notes been the beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner, as the case may be, of the payment, (xi) on account of any Taxes (a) that are payable other than by deduction or withholding from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, (b) that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later or (c) that are required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by at least one other paying agent or (xi) any combination of (i) through (xi). RCCI will also (a) make such withholding or deduction and (b) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. Upon the written request of a holder of Notes, RCCI will furnish, as soon as reasonably practicable, to such holder of Notes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by RCCI.

If a holder in respect of a beneficial owner has received a refund or credit for any Taxes with respect to which RCCI has paid Additional Amounts, such holder shall pay over such refund to RCCI (but only to the extent of such Additional Amounts), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such holder or beneficial owner, together with any interest paid by the relevant tax authority in respect of such refund.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Guarantee of RCCI is due and payable, if RCCI will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, RCCI will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, stating the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee, on behalf of RCCI, to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The obligations of RCCI under this Section 704 shall survive the discharge and termination of this Supplemental Indenture and the payment of all amounts under or with respect to the Guarantee.

SECTION 705 RIGHT OF REDEMPTION; ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

(a) If, as a result of

(i) a change in, or an amendment to, the laws (including any regulations, rulings or protocols promulgated thereunder) or treaties of Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein);

(ii) any change in or amendment to, or introduction of, any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings, protocols or treaties (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction); or

(iii) any official proposal of the aforementioned changes in clauses (i) and (ii) above;

which change, amendment or official proposal is announced or becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of the Notes, RCCI has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee, any Additional Amounts in accordance with Section 704 of this Supplemental Indenture, then the Company may, at its option, redeem such Notes, as a whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but not including the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if any; provided that the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable commercial measures available to the Company or RCCI not including substitution of the obligor or guarantor under such Notes.

(b) The election of the Company to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 705 shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of such redemption, the Company shall, at least 10 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by it (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 706 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

The reference contained in Section 210 of the Indenture to the obligations of the Company under Section 907 of the Indenture shall be deemed to include the obligations of RCCI under Section 704 of this Supplemental Indenture.

If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such Instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

connection with this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner provided by the Indenture.

ALL PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.”

Further, should the Trustee, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Supplemental Indenture has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or antiterrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign with written notice to the Company provided that: (i) the Trustee’s written notice shall, to the extent

(b) The obligations of the Company to deliver the Financial Reports or the financial statements referred to in the preceding paragraph will be deemed satisfied if any parent entity of the Company has delivered to the Trustee (including by making them publicly available on SEDAR+ or ▇▇▇▇▇) the applicable Financial Reports or financial statements, as applicable, that would otherwise be required to be provided in respect of the Company, with respect to such parent entity; provided that such obligations will only be deemed to be satisfied if, and for so long as, such parent entity furnishes to the Trustee (either in or with a copy of such Financial Reports or financial statements, as applicable) “summary financial information” as defined in Section 13.4 of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”) (or substantially equivalent financial information provided for in any successor provision thereto in NI 51-102 or any successor instrument) for the parent entity for the periods covered by such financial statements with a separate column for (i) the parent entity, (ii) the Company, (iii) all guarantors (if any) (on a combined basis), (iv) any other subsidiaries of the parent entity (on a combined basis), (v) consolidating adjustments and (vi) total consolidated amounts.

(c) Delivery of such Financial Reports or financial statements, as applicable, to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its

covenants (as to which the Trustee is entitled to certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed on SEDAR+, ▇▇▇▇▇ or any website.

(d) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or RCCI’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).”

SECTION 808 AMENDMENT TO INDENTURE SECTION 603.

For purposes of the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Section 603 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company will provide to the Trustee within 30 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Financial Reports”); provided, however, that the Company need not furnish any such information, documents or reports to the extent they are made publicly available on SEDAR+ or ▇▇▇▇▇ or any other website maintained by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada or the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be the responsibility of the Trustee to monitor postings of the Company on SEDAR+ or ▇▇▇▇▇ or any other applicable website, it being understood that, due to the public availability of the information contained on such websites, any Person, including without limitation any holder, may obtain such information directly from such websites copies of the Company’s annual report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.”

SECTION 809 AMENDMENT TO INDENTURE SECTION 907.

For purposes of the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Section 907 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“All payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or of any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter “Taxes”), unless the Company is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If the Company is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Company will pay as interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of

such Notes in respect of a beneficial owner (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such holder would have received in respect of the beneficial owner if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder of the Notes in respect of a beneficial owner (i) with which the Company does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)) at the time of making such payment or which is entitled to the payment in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with which the Company does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) at the time of making such payment, (ii) which is a “specified shareholder” of the Company, or which does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) with a “specified shareholder” of the Company as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act, (iii) which is an entity in respect of which RCI is a “specified entity” (as defined in proposed subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act contained in Bill C-59), (iv) where all or any portion of the amount paid or credited to such holder is deemed to be a dividend pursuant to subsection 214(6) of the Tax Act, (v) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the holder or beneficial owner carrying on business in, maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the acquisition or mere holding of Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder, (vi) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the legal nature of the holder or beneficial owner disentitling such holder or beneficial owner to the benefit of an applicable treaty or convention if and to the extent that the application of such treaty or convention would have resulted in the reduction or elimination of any Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to a holder on behalf of such beneficial owner, (vii) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of the failure by a holder or beneficial owner to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a pre-condition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Taxes, (viii) if the Notes are presented for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment or such Notes became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented on the last day of such 15-day period), (ix) on account of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, value added, excise, transfer, use, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge, (x) that is a fiduciary, partnership or any other entity other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed had the holder of the Notes been the beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner, as the case may be, of the payment, (xi) on account of any Taxes (a) that are payable other than by deduction or withholding from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, (b) that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later or (c) that are required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by at least one other paying agent or (xii) any combination of (i) through (xi). The Company will also (a) make such withholding or deduction and (b) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. Upon the written request of a holder of Notes, the

Company ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as soon as reasonably practicable, to such holder of Notes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company.

If a holder in respect of a beneficial owner has received a refund or credit for any Taxes with respect to which the Company has paid Additional Amounts, such holder shall pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of such Additional Amounts), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such holder or beneficial owner, together with any interest paid by the relevant tax authority in respect of such refund.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Guarantee of the Company is due and payable, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, stating the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee, on behalf of the Company, to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 907 shall survive the discharge and termination of this Supplemental Indenture and the payment of all amounts under or with respect to the Guarantee.”

SECTION 810 AMENDMENT TO INDENTURE SECTION 1001.

For purposes of the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Section 1001(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(b) If, as a result of

(iii) any official proposal of the aforementioned changes in clauses (i) and (ii) above;

which change, amendment or official proposal is announced or becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Company has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable under or with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts in accordance with Section 907 of the Indenture, as amended and restated by this Supplemental Indenture, then the Company may, at its option, redeem such Notes, as a whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to

100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but not including the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if any; provided that the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable commercial measures available to the Company not including substitution of the obligor under such Notes.

The election of the Company to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 1001(b) shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of such redemption, the Company shall, at least 10 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by it (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed.”

SECTION 811 AMENDMENT TO INDENTURE SECTION 1004.

For purposes of the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Section 1004 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes of for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis or by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, unless the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in which case such selection shall be made in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed; provided that no Notes of U.S.$2,000 or less shall be purchased or redeemed in part.

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

A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased or unredeemed portion of any Note purchased or redeemed in part will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.”

SECTION 812 AMENDMENT TO INDENTURE SECTION 1005.

For purposes of the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Section 1005 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Notice of intention to redeem any Notes pursuant to Section 1001 as so modified by this Supplemental Indenture shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders of the Notes that are to be redeemed, not more than 60 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date, in the manner provided in Section 112 of the Supplemental Indenture. Every such notice of redemption shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price;

(c) if less than all Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the principal amount) of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

(d) that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of any condition precedent to the redemption specified in such notice, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Note or portion thereof on the Redemption Date, and that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(e) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and

(f) any conditions to the redemption.

Any redemption pursuant to Section 1001 as so modified by this Supplemental Indenture (and any related notice of redemption) may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity or other securities offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or other financing, or any other corporate transaction or event. Notice of any redemption in respect thereof may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of one or more of the transactions or events upon which the redemption is conditioned and such redemption may be partial as a result of only some of the conditions being satisfied. If such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, state that, in the Company’s discretion, such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and other amounts owing for the redemption of any Notes and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. In the event that the condition(s) of any redemption that is conditional are not satisfied or waived by the Company in its sole discretion on or prior to the Redemption Date therefor, the redemption shall be rescinded and notice thereof shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders of the Notes that were to have been redeemed promptly thereafter (but in any event no later than the Business Day after the Redemption Date), in the manner in which the notice of redemption was delivered, that such condition(s) were not satisfied or waived and such redemption has been rescinded, and the Trustee shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any Notes which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether or not a condition set forth in such notice of redemption is satisfied, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Company’s determination regarding the satisfaction or waiver thereof.

Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at its request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. Any inadvertent defect in a notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to deliver such notice, to any Holder whose Notes are selected for redemption will not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any the Notes of any other Holder that are to be redeemed.”
