NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.	Subscription.

1.1.

Acquired Securities Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, (a) Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase from MBSC, and MBSC hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Common Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares and/or (b) Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase from PubCo, and PubCo hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Notes Purchase Price, the Notes (such subscriptions and issuances, the “Subscription”), as applicable.

1.2.

Common Shares; Common Purchase Price Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 1.1, at Subscriber’s option in its sole discretion, Subscriber may elect to pay all or a portion of the Common Purchase Price by requesting the Company to seek an amendment to the warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated August 12, 2021, by and between the Company (formerly GAC Holdco Inc.), as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as warrant agent, as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the “Greenfire Warrants”), and negotiating and executing other documentation, as applicable, with PubCo and the Company, in each case on terms reasonably acceptable to PubCo and the Company, to (i) increase the aggregate exercise price of such Greenfire Warrants by the applicable portion of the Common Purchase Price and (ii) provide for the issuance of common shares in the capital of PubCo (“PubCo Common Shares”) upon the exercise of such Greenfire Warrants and payment of such exercise price, which exercise shall be substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Transactions. Subscriber acknowledges that any amendment to the terms of the existing Greenfire Warrants requires the consent of the holders thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Warrant Agreement, and MBSC shall not be responsible for obtaining any such consent. If Subscriber elects to subscribe for PubCo Common Shares in accordance with the foregoing, Subscriber shall notify PubCo not less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date of its election to do so, whereupon the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith to cause amendments to the Greenfire Warrants to such effect and other applicable documentation to be executed in order to give effect to the foregoing election by Subscriber.

PubCo Common Share Subscription Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 1.1 or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, at MBSC’s option in its sole discretion, MBSC may elect that any portion of the Acquired Shares will be PubCo Common Shares rather than Common Shares (such shares the “Alternative Election PubCo Common Shares” and such election the “PubCo Common Share Election”). If MBSC makes a PubCo Common Share Election, the aggregate amount of Alternative Election PubCo Common Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement and PubCo Common Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, pursuant to a similar election, will be allocated pro rata among the Subscriber and the Other Subscribers according to their respective Subscriptions of Common Shares If MBSC elects to make a PubCo Common Share Election in accordance with the foregoing, MBSC shall notify Subscriber not less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date of such election, whereupon the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith to execute applicable documentation in order to give effect to such PubCo Common Share Election.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of PubCo set forth in Section 3.1, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 3.3, the accuracy of the Other Subscribers’ representations and warranties set forth in the Other Subscription Agreements , MBSC is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by MBSC of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Securities and any Underlying Shares), other than (i) the filing with the SEC of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), (ii) the filings required by applicable state or federal securities laws, (iii) any filings or notices required by the NYSE, (iv) those required to consummate the Transactions as provided under the Business Combination Agreement, and (v) any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, notice to, or filing or registration, the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a MBSC Material Adverse Effect.

(l)

Neither MBSC nor any person acting on its behalf is under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or finder’s fee or other fee or commission in connection with the sale of the Acquired Securities.

(m)

The Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Common Per Share Price and other terms and conditions with respect to the purchase of the Acquired Shares that are no more favorable to such subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement. Other than the Other Subscription Agreements and any agreements with respect to Backstop Equity Financing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), MBSC has not entered into any other subscription agreement or side letter relating to any subscription or purchase of any Common Shares or debt securities of MBSC providing for terms and conditions that are economically or otherwise more favorable for the applicable other subscriber than the Subscriber hereunder.

3.3.

Subscriber’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce PubCo and MBSC to issue the Acquired Securities to Subscriber, Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to PubCo and MBSC and acknowledges and agrees with PubCo and MBSC as follows:

(a)

Subscriber has been duly formed incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

(b)

The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of Subscriber, have been duly authorized and will not (i) constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with (i) any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of Subscriber to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”) or (ii) violate any provisions of Subscriber’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its articles of incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable.

(c)

Subscriber (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9) or (12) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule I, (ii) is acquiring the Acquired Securities only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Acquired Securities as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Acquired Securities with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule I following the signature page hereto). Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Acquired Securities. Subscriber is an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) or an entity that meets an exemption from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or (J).

(d)

If the Subscriber is a resident in Canada, or otherwise subject to applicable securities laws of a Canadian jurisdiction, then it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions or section 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable, and has completed, executed and delivered to PubCo and MBSC the Canadian Accredited Investor Representation Letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule II (including Exhibit A to Schedule II and all appendices thereto) indicating that the Subscriber fits within one of the prospectus exemption categories under applicable provincial securities laws as set forth therein, and confirms the truth and accuracy of all representations, warranties and covenants made in such certificate as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date.

(e)

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Acquired Securities (including any Underlying Shares) are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified for distribution to the public under applicable securities laws in Canada, and that any certificates representing the Acquired Shares (and any Underlying Shares) shall contain the legends set forth in Section 2.1. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or until PubCo becomes a reporting issuer under applicable securities legislation in Canada and certain other conditions are satisfied, except (i) to PubCo or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that all of the applicable conditions thereof have been met, or (iv) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in some cases, one of the limited exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws in Canada. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber acknowledges that the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least one year from the filing of “Form 10 information” with the SEC after the Closing Date. The Subscriber acknowledges that PubCo is not now a “reporting issuer” under the securities laws of any jurisdiction of Canada, that PubCo has no obligation to become a reporting issuer in Canada and that there is no guarantee that it will become a reporting issuer in Canada in the future; and the Subscriber further acknowledges that as a result of PubCo not being a reporting issuer in Canada, the Common Shares will be subject to an indefinite restriction on resale (i.e. “hold period”) in Canada and the hold period under applicable securities legislation in Canada will not commence until PubCo becomes a “reporting issuer” in a jurisdiction of Canada, which it has no obligation to become. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult Canadian and U.S. legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares). The Subscriber acknowledges that it has received written notice that for the purposes of applicable securities laws in Canada, the Acquired Securities (and any Underlying Shares) will be subject to the following legend:

(f)

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Acquired Securities (including any Underlying Shares) directly from PubCo. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by PubCo, MBSC, or their respective affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the PubCo and MBSC included in this Subscription Agreement.

(g)

If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither PubCo nor MBSC, nor any of its respective affiliates (the “Transactions Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Acquired Securities, and none of the Transactions Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Acquired Securities and (ii) none of the acquisition, holding and/or transfer or disposition of the Acquired Securities will result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any similar law or regulation.

(h)

In making its decision to subscribe for and purchase the Acquired Securities, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and has not relied on any statements or other information provided by PubCo, MBSC or the Company, any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective control persons, officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees concerning PubCo, MBSC, the Company, their respective affiliates, the Transactions or the Acquired Securities. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review, such financial and other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Securities, including with respect to PubCo, MBSC, the Company, and the Transactions. Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Securities. Subscriber is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty with respect to its acquisition of the Acquired Securities made by any person, including, without limitation, PubCo, MBSC or the Company, except for the statements, representations and warranties of PubCo and MBSC contained in this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the information provided to Subscriber (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the information expressly set forth in the representations and warranties made by PubCo and MBSC herein) is preliminary and subject to change, and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, any changes based on updated information, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, to purchase the Acquired Securities); provided however, that this Section 3.3(h) shall in no way limit the applicability of the representations, warranties, statements or provisions of any existing agreement between Subscriber or any of its affiliates and the Company or any of its affiliates, including with respect to the Greenfire Warrants or any commercial relationship between Subscriber or any of its affiliates and the Company or any of its affiliates.

(i)

Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Acquired Securities solely by means of direct contact from PubCo or MBSC, and the Acquired Securities were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and PubCo or MBSC. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Acquired Securities, nor were the Acquired Securities offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that PubCo represents and warrants that the Acquired Securities (including any Underlying Shares) (i) were not offered to Subscriber by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) to PubCo’s knowledge are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

(j)

Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Acquired Securities. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Acquired Securities, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber shall be responsible for any of Subscriber’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement (except for any tax liabilities to Subscriber arising by virtue of a breach of this Subscription Agreement by PubCo or MBSC), and that neither PubCo nor MBSC has provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement.

(k)

Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Acquired Securities and determined that the Acquired Securities are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in PubCo. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(l)

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that no federal, provincial, territorial or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Acquired Securities or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(m)

Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire the Acquired Securities nor any representations and warranties made by Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect Subscriber’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of PubCo’s representations and warranties contained herein.

(n)

Neither Subscriber nor, to the knowledge of Subscriber, any of its officers, directors, (or managers of U.S. limited liability companies, or its equivalent thereof under Canadian corporate laws), managing members, general partners or any other person acting in a similar capacity or carrying out a similar function is (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by OFAC or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, a person, that is named on an OFAC List, (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national, or the government, including any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, the Crimea region of Ukraine, or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Acquired Securities were legally derived. Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law.

(o)

To the knowledge of Subscriber, no foreign person (as defined in Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. § 4565), and all rules and regulations issued and effective thereunder (together, the “DPA”)) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a “substantial interest” (as defined in the DPA) will acquire a “substantial interest” (as defined in the DPA) in PubCo solely as a result of the purchase of Acquired Securities by Subscriber hereunder such that a filing before the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be required under the DPA, and no such foreign person will have “control” (as defined in the DPA) over PubCo from and after the Closing solely as a result of the purchase of Acquired Securities by Subscriber hereunder.

(p)

Subscriber is not a person or entity identified on a list established under section 83.05 of the Criminal Code (Canada) or in any regulations made under the United Nations Act (Canada), the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Canada), the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Canada), the Special Economic Measures Act (Canada) or any other Canadian statutes or regulations that take legislative measures against terrorist financing, and against financial dealings with certain sanctioned individuals and entities.

(q)

Subscriber agrees that no Other Subscriber (including the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any such Other Subscriber) shall be liable to Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or any Other Subscriber pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement) or any other agreement related to the private placement of shares of PubCo’s capital stock for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Acquired Securities hereunder.

(r)

Subscriber has, and at the time of payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2 will have, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.1.

Reduction in Acquired Securities.

The parties hereby agree that the Acquired Securities shall be reduced, if applicable, until such Acquired Securities equal zero, as follows:

(a)

the Notes shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the amount remaining in the Trust Account after payments to redeeming holders of Common Shares in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) the aggregate proceeds of the Backstop Equity Financing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), if any, up to an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 under this clause (a); and

(b)

the Acquired Shares shall be reduced by the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the quotient of (I) the number of Acquired Shares hereunder, divided by (II) the sum of (x) the number of Acquired Shares hereunder, plus (y) the number of Acquired Shares in the Other Subscription Agreements, multiplied by (B) the amount remaining in the Trust Account after payments to redeeming holders of Common Shares in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, after the first $50,000,000, divided by (ii) the Common Per Share Price, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

PubCo shall pay Subscriber a cancellation fee equal to 2% of the aggregate dollar value of the amount by which the Acquired Securities are reduced with respect to Subscriber under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). In the event the Acquired Securities are reduced with respect to Subscriber under the foregoing clauses (a) or (b), MBSC or PubCo, as applicable, will instruct their respective escrow agent, at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, and the escrow agent shall refund the Purchase Price for the Acquired Securities so reduced prior to or concurrently with the Closing to the Subscriber.

No Hedging.

Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms, none of Subscriber or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option, engage in any hedging activities or execute Short Sales with respect to securities of MBSC prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 5, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Transactions (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement. PubCo and MBSC represent and warrant to Subscriber that the Other Subscribers are bound by an agreement pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, that is substantially identical to this Section 5.

Registration Rights.

On the Closing Date, certain parties will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) which shall provide Subscriber certain registration rights as set forth therein.

Termination.

This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Termination Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, and, for the avoidance of doubt, giving effect to the permitted extension thereof as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, but without giving effect to any subsequent amendment or waiver of the Termination Date) and the terminating party’s material breach was not the primary reason the Closing failed to occur by the Termination Date (the termination events described in clauses (i) through (iii), each a “Termination Event”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt any party’s willful breach of its representations and warranties hereunder) prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. PubCo shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after such termination. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, any portion of the Purchase Price paid by Subscriber to PubCo in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) following the Termination Event be returned to Subscriber.

Trust Account Waiver.

Subscriber acknowledges that MBSC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving MBSC and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in MBSC’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 25, 2021 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of MBSC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of MBSC’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of MBSC, its public stockholders and the underwriters of MBSC’s initial public offering. The cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus, including with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to MBSC to fund working capital requirements, as well as amounts released to MBSC to pay its franchise and income tax obligations, if any. For and in consideration of MBSC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any redemption rights with respect to the Acquired Securities (or the Underlying Shares) pursuant to MBSC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in connection with the Transactions, any subsequent liquidation of the Trust Account or MBSC or otherwise. In the event Subscriber has any claim against MBSC as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Securities (or the Underlying Shares), it shall pursue such claim solely against MBSC and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8 to the contrary, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of Common Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of MBSC. This Section 8 shall survive any termination of the Subscription Agreement.

Miscellaneous.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide PubCo or MBSC with such requested information, Subscriber’s Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) may not be able to be registered for resale.

9.14.

Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx)), such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” ”hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof.

9.16.

Mutual Drafting. Each provision of this Subscription Agreement has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or 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 Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date at least [●] Business Days before such notice is to be sent to the Holders and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be delivered to each Holder not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(d). The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the calculation of the Defaulted Amount.

(ii) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to clause (i) above, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual, facsimile or electronic signature of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or other Officer of the Issuer.

Subject to Section 2.10 and Section 4.14, at any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes, including any additional Notes, executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer with respect to the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Notes.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually or electronically by an authorized officer of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.10), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Issuer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Transfer Taxes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase, redemption or conversion shall (if so required by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Issuer may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty (“Transfer Taxes”) required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange for other Notes or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 14 or (iii) any Notes selected for redemption in accordance with Article 15, except the unredeemed portion thereof.

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

(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. Each Global Note shall bear the legend required on a Global Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

(c) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the Restrictive Notes Legend (together with any Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes that is required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including the legend set forth below) or in Section 2.05(d) (including the legend set forth therein), as applicable, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Issuer, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(c) and Section 2.05(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

Any certificate evidencing some or all of the Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Shares, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Restrictive Notes Legend”) (unless such Notes have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee):

THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON SHARES, IF ANY, ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE.

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF GREENFIRE RESOURCES LTD. (THE “ISSUER”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A) TO THE ISSUER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR

(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER, OR

(C) TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (D) ABOVE, THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR THE ISSUER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

NO AFFILIATE (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OF THE ISSUER OR PERSON THAT HAS BEEN AN AFFILIATE (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OF THE ISSUER DURING THE PRECEDING THREE MONTHS MAY PURCHASE, OTHERWISE ACQUIRE OR HOLD THIS SECURITY OR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN.

No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restrictive Notes Legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Restrictive Notes Legend set forth above and affixed on any Note will be deemed, in accordance with the terms of the certificate representing such Note, to be removed therefrom upon the Issuer’s delivery to the Trustee of written notice to such effect, without further action by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Holder(s) thereof or any other Person; at such time, such Note will be deemed to be assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number as provided in the certificate representing such Note, it being understood that the Depositary of any Global Note may require a mandatory exchange or other process to cause such Global Note to be identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number in the facilities of such Depositary; provided, however, that if such Note is a Global Note and the Depositary thereof requires a mandatory exchange or other procedure to cause such Global Note to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers in the facilities of such Depositary, then (x) the Issuer will effect such exchange or procedure as soon as reasonably practicable; and (y) for purposes of Section 4.06, such Global Note will not be deemed to be identified by unrestricted CUSIP and ISIN numbers until such time as such exchange or procedure is effected. The Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right to require the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that any proposed transfer of any Note is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The Issuer shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the Restrictive Notes Legend specified in this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for exchange of a Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second immediately succeeding paragraph.

In addition, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Issuer and the Trustee, any certificate evidencing some or all of the Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, including Common Shares issued upon conversion thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Canadian Restrictive Notes Legend”) (unless the Issuer has either: (i) filed a final prospectus for which a receipt has been issued in any of the jurisdictions in Canada listed in Appendix B of NI 45-102; or (ii) become a “reporting issuer” under the applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction of Canada and four months have elapsed from the date since the Issuer became a reporting issuer (and such reporting issuer status has not ceased) (in either case, the “Canadian Resale Restriction Termination Date”):

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND ONE DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) THE ISSUE DATE, AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY CANADIAN PROVINCE OR TERRITORY.

The Canadian Restrictive Notes Legend set forth above and affixed on any Note will be deemed, in accordance with the terms of the certificate representing such Note, to be removed therefrom upon the Issuer’s delivery to the Trustee of written notice to such effect, without further action by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Holder(s) thereof or any other Person; at such time, such Note will be deemed to be assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number relating to the Canadian Restrictive Notes Legend provided in the certificate representing such Note, it being understood that the Depositary of any Global Note may require a mandatory exchange or other process to cause such Global Note to be identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number in the facilities of such Depositary; provided, however, that if such Note is a Global Note and the Depositary thereof requires a mandatory exchange or other procedure to cause such Global Note to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers relating to the Canadian Restrictive Notes Legend in the facilities of such Depositary, then (x) the Issuer will effect such exchange or procedure as soon as reasonably practicable; and (y) for purposes of Section 4.06, such Global Note will not be deemed to be identified by unrestricted CUSIP and ISIN numbers relating to the Canadian Restrictive Notes Legend until such time as such exchange or procedure is effected. The Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right to require the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that any proposed transfer of any Note is being made in compliance with the Canadian Securities Legislation.

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

If (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuer at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and, subject to the Depositary’s applicable procedures, a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased upon a Fundamental Change, redeemed or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased upon a Fundamental Change, redeemed or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary or for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to those interests.

(d) Any share certificate representing Common Shares issued upon conversion of a Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Common Shares have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such Common Shares have been issued upon conversion of a Note that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer with written notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Shares):

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE.

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF GREENFIRE RESOURCES LTD. (THE “ISSUER”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THE NOTES UPON THE CONVERSION OF WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS ISSUED OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A) TO THE ISSUER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR

(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER, OR

(C) TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF THIS SECURITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (D) ABOVE, THE ISSUER AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE ISSUER’S COMMON SHARES RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR THE ISSUER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

Any such Common Shares (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such Common Shares for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Shares, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of Common Shares, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).

The Issuer shall cause any Note that is repurchased or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08.

The Trustee and any other agent appointed under this Indenture shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable Law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests 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, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary, and may assume performance absent written notice to the contrary.

(e) Any Note or Common Shares issued upon conversion of a Note that is repurchased or owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Issuer at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by the Issuer or such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Common Shares, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144).

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of an Issuer Order and such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Issuer and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Issuer may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any Transfer Taxes required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for redemption or required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 13 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon receipt of an Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Issuer shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase (including upon a Fundamental Change but not including Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps and other derivatives), redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to the Issuer or any of its agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as applicable, to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it in accordance with its customary procedures. Except for any Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, or as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture, no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Issuer, at the Issuer’s written request in an Issuer Order.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP” numbers as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere, and, provided, further, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.10. Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Issuer may, notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in respect of such additional Notes); provided that it has given written notice to and obtained written consent from the Required Holders prior to such date of issuance of additional Notes; and provided, further, that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax or securities law purposes, such additional Notes shall not have the same CUSIP numbers as the Notes initially issued hereunder. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (copied to the Paying Agent and Note Registrar) an Issuer Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Issuer may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Issuer), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries or through a privately negotiated transaction or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives, in each case, without the consent of or notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Issuer shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08 and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase.

This Indenture and the Notes shall upon request of the Issuer contained in an Officer’s Certificate cease to be of further effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, when:

(a) (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced, paid or converted as provided in Section 2.06) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) the Issuer has deposited with the Trustee or delivered to Holders, as applicable, after the Notes have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise, cash and/or Common Shares (or other Reference Property) or a combination thereof, as applicable, solely to satisfy the Issuer’s Conversion Obligation, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and all other sums due and payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; and

Article 4
Certain Covenants

Section 4.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.

On the Maturity Date, the Issuer shall repay the principal of each of the Notes by Cash Settlement.

Interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary, holds as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain in New York City, New York, an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase or redemption (“Paying Agent”) or for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee located in New York City, New York.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate as co-Note Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in New York City, New York, for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

The Issuer hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent and the Corporate Trust Office as the office or agency in the contiguous United States, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase or redemption or for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served; provided that the Corporate Trust Office shall not be a place for service of legal process for the Issuer.

Section 4.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.04. Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Issuer will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04:

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

(ii) that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Issuer to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

(iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.

The Issuer shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

(b) If the Issuer acts as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Issuer to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable. On the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l), the Trustee shall automatically become the Paying Agent.

(c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay, cause to be paid or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by the Issuer or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums or amounts to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment or delivery by the Issuer or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Issuer or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.

(d) Subject to applicable escheatment laws, any money and Common Shares deposited with the Trustee, the Conversion Agent or any Paying Agent or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, premium, if any, on, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, interest or consideration due upon conversion has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request of the Issuer contained in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust and the Trustee shall have no further liability with respect to such fund or property; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee, the Conversion Agent or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money and Common Shares, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 4.05. Existence. Subject to Article 11, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

Section 4.06. Rule 144A Information Requirement and Reports.

(a) At any time the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall, so long as any of the Notes or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and, upon written request, any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Issuer shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Notes may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Notes in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

(b) The Issuer shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any annual or quarterly reports (on Form 10-K or Form 20-F or Form 10-Q or Form 6-K, as applicable, or any respective successor form) that the Issuer is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any such information, documents or reports, or portions thereof, subject to, or with respect to which the Issuer is actively seeking, confidential treatment and any correspondence with the Commission, and giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act (or any successor thereto)). Any such document or report that the Issuer files with the Commission via the Commission’s XXXXX system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at the time such documents are filed via the XXXXX system (or such successor). The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether such posting has occurred.

(c) Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in clause (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the information and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).

(d) If, at any time following the one year anniversary of the Last Original Issue Date, the Issuer fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K or Form 6-K, as applicable), the restrictive legend on the Notes has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Issuer’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Issuer’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes fail to be subject to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective in accordance with the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Issuer shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each of the first 90 days and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day from, and including, the 91st day during such period for which the Issuer’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing, the restrictive legend on the Notes has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Issuer’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Issuer’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes. Additional Interest shall be payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes.

(e) If Additional Interest is payable by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.06(d), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (copied to the Paying Agent) an Officer’s Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable and the Trustee shall not have any duty to verify the Issuer’s calculation of Additional Interest. If the Issuer has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Section 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 4.08. Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, at least once in every twelve month period beginning on the date of this Indenture and within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023), an Officer’s Certificate stating whether the signers thereof have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous year and, if so, specifying each such Default or Event of Default and the nature thereof. In addition, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default, its status and the action that the Issuer is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to deliver such Officer’s Certificate if such Default or Event of Default has been cured within the applicable grace period (if any) provided for in this Indenture.

Section 4.09. Payment of Taxes. The Issuer shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges (including withholding taxes and any penalties, interest and additions to taxes) levied or imposed upon it or properties of it and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property, except for such non-compliances as could not singly or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.10. Compliance with Laws. The Issuer shall comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and orders of the United States of America, all states and municipalities thereof, Canada, all provinces and territories thereof, and of any governmental department, commission, board, regulatory authority, bureau, agency and instrumentality of the foregoing, in respect of the conduct of its respective businesses and the ownership of its respective properties, except for such non-compliances as could not singly or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.11. Reservation and Status of Common Shares.

(a) The Issuer shall at all times reserve and maintain, out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares or Common Shares held in treasury, a number of Common Shares that would be sufficient to satisfy its Conversion Obligation hereunder. To the extent the Issuer delivers Common Shares held in the Issuer’s treasury in settlement of any obligation under this Indenture to deliver Common Shares, each reference in this Indenture to the issuance of Common Shares in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery.

(b) Each Common Share delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be a newly issued or treasury Common Share and shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from preemptive rights, taxes, liens, charges and adverse claims (except to the extent of any lien, charge or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such Common Share will be delivered).

(c) If the Common Shares are then listed on any securities exchange, then the Issuer shall cause Common Shares delivered upon conversion of the Notes to be admitted for listing on such exchange.

Section 4.12. Capital Expenditure. The Issuer shall ensure that, at any time from the Issue Date, the aggregate capital expenditure of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis included in the Issuer’s cash flow statement shall not exceed $100.0 million in any twelve-month period.

(iv) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”).

(b) The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(vi) the issuance by any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries to the Issuer or to any of its Subsidiaries of preferred shares; provided that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred shares being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer and (B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred shares to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred shares by such Subsidiary that was not permitted by this Section 4.14(b)(vi);

(vii) Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and the Xxxxxx;

(viii) any guarantee by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer to the extent that the Indebtedness being guaranteed was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.14; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then such guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(ix) Indebtedness in respect of (A) workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business, (B) performance bonds, bank guarantees or similar obligations for or in connection with pledges, deposits or payments made or given in relation to such performance bonds, bank guarantees or similar instruments in the ordinary course of business in connection with or to secure statutory, regulatory or similar obligations and (C) letters of credit issued or incurred to support the purchase of supplies and equipment in the ordinary course of business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries;

(xi) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuer or any Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with any acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary of the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness with respect to a disposition shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(xii) obligations consisting of take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(xiii) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries arising pursuant to any Permitted Tax Reorganization;

(xiv) Indebtedness arising pursuant to an L/C Facility not to exceed, at any time outstanding, $70.0 million; and

(xv) additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xv), not to exceed $10.0 million.

(c) The Issuer shall not incur, and shall not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured, by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.14, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of Permitted Debt described in Section 4.14(b)(i) through (xv) above, the Issuer will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.14. The accrual of interest or preferred share dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred shares or operating leases as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred shares or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred shares or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred shares or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.14; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Issuer as accrued. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.14, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this this Section 4.14 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

Section 4.15. Liens.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) on any asset of the Issuer or such Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired unless contemporaneously therewith:

(i) in the case of any Lien securing any Pari Passu Indebtedness, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same assets of the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and

(ii) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same assets of the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, prior to the Lien securing such subordinated Indebtedness.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.15, (1) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one clause of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (2) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the clauses of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof), the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.15.

Section 4.16. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary to:

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries;

(ii) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(i) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness, including the Greenfire Indenture, the Greenfire Notes and the Greenfire Note Guarantees, and any related collateral documents, in each case as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date;

(ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees;

(iii) agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.14 and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions will not materially adversely impact the ability of the Issuer to make required principal and interest payments on the Notes;

(iv) applicable Law;

(v) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

(vi) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(vii) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in Section 4.16(a)(iii);

(viii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(ix) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness will not materially adversely impact the ability of the Issuer to make required principal and interest payments on the Notes;

(x) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 4.15 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(xi) customary provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into with the approval of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; and

(xii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Section 4.17. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;

(ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.17 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer; and

(iii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an opinion of an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing, or other recognized independent expert of international standing with experience appraising the terms and conditions of the type of transaction or series of related transactions for which an opinion is required, stating that the transaction or series of related transactions is (I) fair from a financial point of view taking into account all relevant circumstances or (II) on terms not less favorable than might have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s length basis from a Person who is not an Affiliate.

(b) The following items will be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the foregoing provisions in clause (a):

(i) any employment agreement, severance agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and payments pursuant thereto, including with respect to the Transactions;

(ii) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Subsidiaries;

(iii) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(iv) payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, including with respect to the Transactions;

(v) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to Affiliates of the Issuer;

(vi) any transaction or series of related transactions for which the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an opinion as to the fairness to the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary of such transaction or series of related transactions from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing;

(vii) Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.13;

(viii) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $2.5 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

(ix) any Permitted Tax Reorganization;

(x) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby; and

(xi) the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions.

Section 4.18. Business Activities. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.19. Subsidiary Guarantees. The Issuer shall not create any Subsidiary or permit any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, by way of pledge, intercompany note or otherwise, to assume, guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness (other than the Notes) of the Issuer or any Guarantor, unless, in any such case, such Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing a Guarantee as provided in Article 14 by such Subsidiary; provided that no Subsidiary shall be required to guarantee the Notes if it is prohibited by law from guaranteeing the Notes.

Section 4.20. Asset Sales.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) the Issuer (or the Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

Any Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, expropriation, appropriation, or other similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, shall not be required to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 4.20(a)(i) above.

For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Issuer or such Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;

(B) any securities, Notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days after the Asset Sale, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Issuer or such Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer (or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

(i) (x) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such asset, (y) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that the Issuer ratably reduces, prepays, repays or purchases the Notes) or (z) to make an offer in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer, redeem the Notes pursuant to Article 15 or purchase Notes through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Subsidiary); provided, however, that, in connection with any reduction, prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (i), the Issuer or such Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment, to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Sale constituted “borrowing base assets,” to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so reduced, prepaid, repaid or purchased;

(ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer;

(iii) to make a capital expenditure in respect of a Permitted Business; or

(iv) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

In the case of clause (ii) of this Section 4.20(b), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition is consummated, and (y) the 180^th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer (or the applicable Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 4.20(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, within thirty days of exceeding such amount, the Issuer will make an offer to: (i) first, all Holders of Structurally Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of such Structurally Senior Indebtedness, to the extent required by the terms of such Structurally Senior Indebtedness, and (ii) second, out of any remaining Excess Proceeds, all Holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the remaining Excess Proceeds (such offer to Holders of Notes and any holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an “Asset Sale Offer”).

(d) The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and will be payable in cash.

(e) If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

Section 4.21. Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by the Issuer or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, including any consideration transferred in connection with a conversion of Notes (whether Cash Settlement, Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement), shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes, unless the withholding or deduction is then required by applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor (including any successor or other surviving entity) is then incorporated, organized, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of any paying agent) (each of clauses (1) and (2), a “Tax Jurisdiction”) will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, including, without limitation, payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder (including payments of Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to any of the following (referred to herein as “Excluded Taxes”):

(i) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder or beneficial owner (or fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of the Holder, as the case may be) of the Notes being a citizen or resident or national of, organized in or carrying on a business in the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such Taxes are imposed or having any other present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere acquisition, holding, disposition, enforcement or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes;

(ii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes to comply with any reasonable written request, made to that Holder or beneficial owner in writing at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be made, by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Paying Agent to provide timely and accurate information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or beneficial owner or to make any valid and timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification, information or other reporting requirement, which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction in all or part of such Taxes, but only to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to provide such evidence and such compliance is not more onerous to the Holder or beneficial owner than would be comparable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation and administrative practice (such as IRS Forms W-8 and W-9 or any comparable successor forms);

(iii) any Taxes imposed with respect to any Note presented for payment (where presentation is required for payment) more than 30 days after the date on which the relevant payment is 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 Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on any day during such 30-day period);

(iv) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

(v) any Tax required to be withheld or deducted under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any amended or successor versions of such Sections (“FATCA”), any regulations or other guidance thereunder, or any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA;

(vi) other than with respect to the initial Holder of the Notes, any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed because the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, or any other person entitled to payments under the Notes, does not deal at arm’s length with the Issuer or a relevant Guarantor or paying agent for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or is a person who is, or who does not deal at arm’s length with, a person who is a “specified shareholder” (as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) of the Issuer or a relevant Guarantor or paying agent at a relevant time;

(vii) any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment on or with respect to the Notes to a Holder that is a fiduciary, a partnership or a person other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment, if a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of the Note; or

(viii) any combination of clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 4.21(a).

(b) If the Issuer or any Guarantor becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to each of them evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

(c) The relevant Guarantor shall make all withholdings and deductions required by Law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable Law. Upon request, the Issuer will provide to the Trustee an official receipt or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Indenture and the Notes, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such calculation provided for in an Officer’s Certificate.

(d) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context (i) the payment of principal (and premium, if any), (ii) redemption prices or purchase prices in connection with a redemption or repurchase of Notes, (iii) interest, or (iv) any other amount payable under or with respect to any of 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.

(e) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and each Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes for and hold them harmless against the full amount of (i) any Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, paid by the Trustee or any Paying Agent or any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes in connection with payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees held by such Holder or beneficial owner, including any consideration transferred in connection with a conversion of Notes (whether Cash Settlement, Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement), and (ii) any Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (i) or this clause (ii). A certificate as to the amount of such requested indemnification, delivered by the Trustee or any Paying Agent or such Holder or beneficial owners, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Issuer shall pay, and indemnify the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes for, any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes or any other excise, property or similar Taxes that arise in any relevant Tax Jurisdiction (and, in the case of enforcement, any jurisdiction) from the execution, issuance, delivery or enforcement of the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, or the receipt of any payments, including any consideration transferred in connection with a conversion of Notes (whether Cash Settlement, Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement), with respect to the Notes or any Guarantees.

(f) The obligations described in this Section 4.21 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, and transfer by a holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction (i) in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor is organized, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (ii) from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such successor Person.

Article 5
Lists of Holders and Reports by the Issuer and the Trustee

Section 5.01. Lists of Holders. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date beginning with the Regular Record Date on [●], 2023, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request (or such lesser time as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, the principal amount of Notes owned by such Holders and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding (the “Register Information”) as of a date not more than 15 days (or such other date as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to so provide any such notices) prior to the time such information is furnished, except that no such list need be furnished so long as the Trustee is acting as Note Registrar.

Section 5.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 or maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. Within 15 days after the Trustee receives a request from any registered Holder for a copy of the Register Information, accompanied by a declaration from such registered Holder which purports to be in compliance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the Trustee shall furnish the Register Information (as of the day that the declaration is delivered) to such Holder if such declaration complies with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta); provided that each of the Trustees shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for so doing.

Article 6
Defaults and Remedies

(c) failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance with this Indenture upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right (including failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount due upon conversion of the Notes) and such failure continues for three Business Days;

(d) failure by the Issuer to issue a Fundamental Change Notice in accordance with Section 14.01 (and otherwise comply with the provisions of Article 14) or notice of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 13.03(d), in each case when due and such failure continues for five Business Days;

(g) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default (1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity or that enables or permits (after giving effect to any applicable notice periods, if any, and any grace periods) the holder or holders of such Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause such Indebtedness to become due, or to require the redemption thereof or any offer to redeem such indebtedness to be made in respect thereof, prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been or could be so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

(h) failure by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $25.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Section 6.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) with respect to the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary) shall have occurred and be continuing (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), then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) with respect to the Issuer (and not with respect to a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable.

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.08, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Required Holders (including, without limitation, additional Notes), by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and 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 or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to repurchase any Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) (including the acceleration of any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by operation of law)), the amount that shall then be due and payable shall be equal to: (x) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration plus (y) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of such acceleration, in each case as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Notes so accelerated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) (including the acceleration of any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by operation of law)), the Applicable Premium with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes shall also be due and payable as though the Notes had been optionally redeemed on the date of such acceleration and shall constitute part of the Obligations with respect to the Notes in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. If the Applicable Premium becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Notes and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Notes (including the Applicable Premium) from and after the applicable triggering event, including in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l). Any premium payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be presumed to be liquidated damages sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration of the Notes and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes or this Indenture are satisfied, released or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuer expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the premium to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes. THE PREMIUM IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES HERETO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AND THAT SUCH PREMIUM AMOUNT IS INTENDED TO BE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY.

Section 6.03. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Issuer shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes under the Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws, or any other applicable Law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or such other obligor, the property of the Issuer or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.08 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.04. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (in each of its capacities under this Indenture) and the Canadian Co-Trustee hereunder;

Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and

Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer.

Section 6.05. Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such written notice, request and offer of such security or indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and

(e) no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Required Holders within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.08, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holder), or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.05, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right to institute suit for the enforcement of its right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (w) the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (x) premium, if any, on, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be.

Section 6.06. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.07. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.05, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.08. Direction of Proceedings and Xxxxxx of Defaults by Required Holders. Subject to the Trustee’s right to receive security or indemnity from the relevant Holders as described herein, the Required Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holder) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or that conflicts with applicable Law or this Indenture.

The Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes (x) waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except any continuing defaults relating to (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Issuer to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, and (y) rescind any resulting acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default (other than nonpayment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration) have been cured or waived. Upon any such waiver the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.08, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.09. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of a Default, deliver to all Holders notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer determines in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 6.10. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.10 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.

Article 7

Concerning the Trustee

Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered, and if requested, provided, to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability, cost or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein); provided, however, that the Trustee need not act or refrain from acting based on any certificate or opinion that it determines to be not in conformity with the requirements of this Indenture. If presented with a non-conforming certificate or opinion, the Trustee may request the delivering party to re-issue the certificate or opinion in the manner required by this Indenture before taking any action;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved in a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) 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 the written direction of the Required Holders relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(d) whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Issuer or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-Note Registrar with respect to the Notes;

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event;

(g) in the absence of written investment direction from the Issuer, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account, and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Issuer;

(h) under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes; and

(i) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

Section 7.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer;

(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture, the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and require an Opinion of Counsel and any advice of such counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

(f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder;

(g) the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties;

(h) the Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such times to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

(i) the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers;

(j) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of its powers and duties hereunder; and

(k) neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the Issuer, or any of their respective directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates, or employees, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any inaccuracy or omission in the information obtained from the Issuer or for any inaccuracy or omission in the records which may result from such information or any failure by the Trustee to perform its duties or set forth herein as a result of any inaccuracy or incompleteness.

(l) In no event shall the Trustees be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustees have been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Trustees shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee and actually received by a Responsible Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Issuer or by any Holder or any agent of any Holder, referencing this Indenture and/or of the Notes and stating that it is a “notice of default.”

(m) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee in this Article 7 and throughout this Indenture, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by the Canadian Co-Trustee, the Trustee in each of its other capacities hereunder and each other agent, custodian and Person employed to act hereunder in such capacities as the Trustee is serving hereunder. The Canadian Co-Trustee, if undertaking duties and obligations hereunder, shall be subject to the same standards, requirements, rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits applicable to the Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any information, statement or recital in any disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the issuance of the Notes.

Section 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Note Registrar May Own Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Note Registrar.

Section 7.05. Monies and Common Shares to Be Held in Trust. All monies and Common Shares received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money and Common Shares held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds or property except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money or Common Shares received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be obligated to take possession of any Common Shares, whether on conversion or in connection with any discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 3 hereof, but shall satisfy its obligation as Conversion Agent by working through the stock transfer agent of the Issuer from time to time as directed by the Issuer.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, in any capacity under this Indenture, from time to time and the Trustee shall receive such compensation agreed in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Issuer, and the Issuer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, charges and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ and including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with its enforcement of its rights to indemnity herein) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its officers, directors, attorneys, employees and agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, a Holder or any other Person), damage, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises and enforcement of this Section 7.06. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.04, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes, and, for the avoidance of doubt, such lien shall not be extended in a manner that would conflict with the Issuer’s obligations to its other creditors. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Issuer. The obligation of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Notes, and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The covenant to pay the compensation, expenses and disbursements and the indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the Canadian Co-Trustee and to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee and the Canadian Co-Trustee.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable Law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws.

Section 7.07. Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least the minimum amount required by the Trust Indenture Act. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.08, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

Section 7.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustees may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and by delivering notice thereof to the Holders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning trustee may, at the expense of the Issuer, upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Issuer and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction, for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture) may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.10, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Holder, or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in either case, the Issuer may by an Officer’s Certificate remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Officer’s Certificate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Required Holders may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Issuer of such nomination the Issuer objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of either of the Trustees and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

Section 7.10. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Canadian Co-Trustee herein; however, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Issuer and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders. If the Issuer fails to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be delivered at the expense of the Issuer.

No resigning trustee shall be responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of any successor Trustee.

Section 7.11. Succession by Xxxxxx, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which either of the Trustees may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which either of the Trustees shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to such Trustee or Canadian Co-Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or Canadian Co-Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.12. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date notice to the Issuer has been deemed given pursuant to Section 17.03, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 7.13. Privacy (Canadian Co-Trustee). The parties acknowledge that federal and/or provincial legislation in Canada that addresses the protection of individuals’ personal information (collectively, “Privacy Laws”) applies to obligations and activities under this Indenture. Despite any other provision of this Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Canadian Co-Trustee shall take or direct any action that would contravene or cause the other to contravene applicable Privacy Laws. The Issuer shall, prior to transferring or causing to be transferred personal information to the Canadian Co-Trustee, 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 Privacy Laws. The Canadian Co-Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its services hereunder comply with Privacy Laws. Specifically, the Canadian Co-Trustee agrees: (1) to have a designated chief privacy officer; (2) to maintain policies and procedures to protect personal information and to receive and respond to any privacy complaint or inquiry; (3) to use personal information solely for the purposes of providing its services under or ancillary to this Indenture and not to use it for any other purpose except with the consent of or direction from the Issuer or the individual involved; (4) not to sell or otherwise improperly disclose personal information to any third party; and (5) to employ administrative, physical and technological safeguards to reasonably secure and protect personal information against loss, theft, or unauthorized access, use or modification.

Section 7.14. Trustee and Canadian Co-Trustee. The rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred and imposed upon the Trustee and the Canadian Co-Trustee are conferred and imposed upon and shall be exercised and performed by the Trustee and the Canadian Co-Trustee, as applicable, severally and not jointly. Neither the Trustee nor the Canadian Co-Trustee shall have any duty to supervise, and shall in no event be liable for, the acts and omissions of the other. The Canadian Co-Trustee shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Loan and Trust Corporations Act (Alberta) and any other applicable statute of Canada or any province or territory thereof and the regulations thereunder as amended or re-enacted from time to time.

Article 8
Concerning The Holders

Section 8.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Issuer or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Issuer or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument or writing by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06.

Section 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Issuer or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, premium, if any, on, and (subject to Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes under this Indenture; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the Depositary or its nominee. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or Common Shares so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Issuer, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04. Issuer-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Issuer or by any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

Section 9.03. Call of Meetings by Issuer or Holders. In case at any time the Issuer, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have delivered the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Issuer or such Holders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by delivering notice thereof as provided in Section 9.02.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by Holders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Issuer or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, additional Notes) represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, at any meeting of Holders each Holder or proxyholder shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him or her; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Notes held by it or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating it as the proxy to vote on behalf of other Holders.

Section 10.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments; Evidence of Compliance to Be Furnished to Trustee. In addition to the documents required by Section 17.05, the Trustees shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any amendment or supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 10 and is permitted or authorized by this Indenture. Such Opinion of Counsel shall include a customary legal opinion stating that such amendment or supplemental indenture is the valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications. The Trustees shall have no responsibility for determining whether any amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver will or may have an adverse effect on any Holder.

Article 11
Successors

Section 11.01. Merger, Amalgamation, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly: (1) merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving or continuing corporation), or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(a) either: (i) the Issuer is the surviving or continuing corporation; or (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, merger or amalgamation (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of Canada, any province or territory of Canada, the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

(b) the Person formed by or surviving or continuing from any such consolidation, merger or amalgamation (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made (the “Successor Corporation”) assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture or is liable for those obligations by operation of law;

(c) if, upon the occurrence of any such transaction, (x) the Notes would become convertible into securities issued by an issuer other than the resulting, surviving, transferee or successor corporation, and (y) such resulting, surviving, transferee or successor corporation is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the issuer of such securities into which the Notes have become convertible, such other issuer shall fully and unconditionally guarantee on a senior basis the resulting, surviving, transferee or successor corporation’s obligations under the Notes;

(d) each Guarantor, unless such Guarantor is the Person with which the Issuer has entered into a transaction under this Section 11.01, will have confirmed in writing that its Guarantee will continue to apply to the Obligations of the Issuer or the surviving entity under the Notes and this Indenture;

(e) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustees an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such transaction and such assumption agreements and confirmations described in the preceding clauses (b) and (c) comply with all requirements of this Indenture and (ii) all conditions precedent in this Indenture have been complied with.

In addition, the Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

This Section 11.01 shall not apply to (i) any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and any one or more of its Subsidiaries or between or among any one or more of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries and (ii) any Permitted Tax Reorganization. Section 11.01(e) shall not apply to any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or arrangement of the Issuer with or into one or more of its Subsidiaries for any purpose.

For purposes of this Section 11.01, the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, which properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

Section 11.02. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustees and satisfactory in form to the Trustees, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Issuer, such Successor Corporation (if not the Issuer) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and may thereafter exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this Indenture. Such Successor Corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Issuer any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Corporation instead of the Issuer and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 11 the Person named as the “Issuer” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 11) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

In case of any such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Article 12

Immunity of Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers and Directors

Section 12.01. Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. No recourse for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Note, nor for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, nor because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, employee, agent, Officer or director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

Article 13
Conversion of Notes

Section 13.01. Conversion Privilege. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 13, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at an initial conversion rate of 76.923077 Common Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 13, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 13.02, the “Conversion Obligation”). Any conversion of Notes and any calculation or adjustment in connection with any conversion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Specified Dollar Amount), in excess of $1,000 will be calculated and converted on a proportional basis.

Section 13.02. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Settlement Method and Amounts.

(i) Subject to this Section 13.02 and Section 4.11, upon conversion of any Note, the Issuer shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, Common Shares, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share in accordance with Section 13.02(k) (“Physical Settlement”), cash (“Cash Settlement”) or a combination of cash and Common Shares, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share in accordance with Section 13.02(k) (“Combination Settlement”), at the Issuer’s election, as set forth in this Section 13.02. All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during a Redemption Period, and all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after [the 32nd day prior to the Maturity Date], shall be settled using the same Settlement Method and in the same proportions of cash and/or Common Shares during the respective periods.

(ii) The Issuer shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions with the same Conversion Date and in the same proportions of cash and/or Common Shares during the respective periods, but the Issuer shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.

(iii) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during a Redemption Period), the Issuer elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Issuer shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during a Redemption Period, in the applicable Redemption Notice). If the Issuer does not elect a Settlement Method with respect to a Conversion Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation. Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. If the Issuer timely delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes to be converted in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be $1,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer’s failure to timely elect a Settlement Method or specify the applicable Specified Dollar Amount will not constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.

(iv) The cash, Common Shares or combination of cash and Common Shares in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(A) if the Issuer elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Issuer shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date;

(B) if the Issuer elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Issuer shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(C) if the Issuer elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Issuer shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

(v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Issuer promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional shares, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b) Subject to Section 13.02(f), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(i) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission thereof) (a notice pursuant to the applicable procedure of the Depositary or a notice as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion, a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any Common Shares to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Issuer or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Conversion Agent), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Conversion Agent and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(i). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Issuer of any conversion pursuant to this Article 13 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notes may be surrendered for conversion by a Holder thereof if such Xxxxxx has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Issuer in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 14.02.

(c) If more than one Note is surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

(d) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. Subject to Section 13.06(a), the Issuer shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Issuer elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation through Physical Settlement, or on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any Common Shares are due to a converting Holder, the Issuer shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to the converting Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of Common Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, in book-entry format through the Depositary, in satisfaction of the Issuer’s Conversion Obligation.

(e) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Issuer or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.

(f) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Issuer shall pay any Transfer Taxes on the issue of any Common Shares upon conversion, unless such Transfer Taxes are due because the Holder requests such Common Shares to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay those Transfer Taxes. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver certificates representing the Common Shares being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any Transfer Taxes that are due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) Except as provided in Section 13.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any Common Shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 13.

(h) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(i) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth in this Section 13.02(i), and the Issuer will not adjust the Conversion Rate for any accrued and unpaid interest on any converted Notes. The Issuer’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Notes into a combination of cash and Common Shares, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes (to, but not including the corresponding Interest Payment Date) on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the converting Holder was the Holder of record on such Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Issuer has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Issuer has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date described in clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date described in clause (3) of the immediately preceding sentence shall receive and retain the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

(j) The Person in whose name the Common Shares shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Issuer elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Issuer elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion. Prior to conversion of a Holder’s Note, such Holder (in such capacity) shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Issuer.

(k) The Issuer shall not issue any fractional share of Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Shares issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day), in the case of Physical Settlement, or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of Combination Settlement. For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Issuer has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

Section 13.03. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or during a Redemption Period.

(a) If (i) the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) the Issuer issues a Redemption Notice as provided under Section 15.02 and a Holder elects to convert such Notes with a Conversion Date during the related Redemption Period, the Issuer shall, in each case, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀X RP

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the open of business on the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or on the related Redemption Notice Date, as applicable;

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or on the related Redemption Notice Date, as applicable; and

(x) with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage), including the Applicable Premium, that would have applied if the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change were a Redemption Date and (y) with respect to an Optional Redemption, the related Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage) set forth in such Redemption Notice.

(b) A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35^th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”). A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Redemption Notice if the Notice of Conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent during the related Redemption Period.

(c) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or of Notes called for redemption with a Conversion Date occurring during the related Redemption Period, the Issuer shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement based on the Conversion Rate as increased pursuant to the formula set forth above in Section 13.03(a); provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Shares (the “Share Price”) for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by such Share Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Conversion Date.

(d) The Issuer shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change in writing no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date, briefly stating (1) the circumstances under which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to this Section 13.03 in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (2) the relevant Conversion Rate increase and (3) the material dates related to conversion with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or such Optional Redemption.

(e) Nothing in this Section 13.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 13.04. Other Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Issuer if any of the following events occurs, except that the Issuer shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 13.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility to verify the accuracy of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Issuer shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent promptly in writing of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate, which adjustments shall be conclusive and binding on holders, absent manifest error.

(a) If, on any date the Common Shares are not then listed on the Listing Market, there shall occur any increase or decrease in the amount or value of the Capital Stock of the Issuer as a result of a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, share dividend, share split, reverse split, issuance of shares, rights, options or warrants, distribution of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, cash dividend or distribution, tender or exchange offer for the Common Shares, conversion, exchange or reclassification of equity or like event, as applicable, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to preserve the economic effect of the conversion privilege of the Notes, in a manner comparable to Section 13.04(b) through Section 13.04(f), as reasonably determined (x) by the Board of Directors and consented to by the Required Holders or (y) by an Independent Financial Advisor.

(b) If, on or after the Listing Date and so long as the Common Shares are then listed on the Listing Market, the Issuer exclusively issues Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on Common Shares to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares, or if the Issuer effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ X	OS₁
	OS₀

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable;

OS₀

the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable; and

OS₁

the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as applicable.

Any adjustment made under this Section 13.04(b) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 13.04(b) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Issuer determines in good faith not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(c) If, on or after the Listing Date and so long as the Common Shares are then listed on the Listing Market, the Issuer issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a shareholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ X	OS + X
	OS + Y

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

the number of Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 13.04(c) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that Common Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, or if no such rights, options or warrants are exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 13.04(c), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Issuer for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Issuer in good faith.

(d) If, on or after the Listing Date and so long as the Common Shares are then listed on the Listing Market, the Issuer distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Issuer or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be effected, disregarding the 1% Provision) pursuant to Section 13.04(b) or Section 13.04(c), (ii) rights issued under a shareholder rights plan (except as provided in Section 13.09), (iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 13.04(e) shall apply, (iv) distributions of Reference Property in exchange for, or upon conversion of, Common Shares in a Merger Event and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth in this Section 13.04(d) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ X	SP
	SP – FMV

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV

the fair market value (as determined by the Issuer in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Shares on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 13.04(d) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. In the case of any distribution of rights, options or warrants, to the extent such rights, options or warrants expire unexercised, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such unexercised rights, options or warrants not been distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(d) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary, other business unit or Affiliate of the Issuer, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ X	FMV + SP
	SP

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;

FMV

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Shares applicable to one share of the Common Shares (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Shares were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”); and

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Spin-Off Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.

For purposes of this Section 13.04(d) (and subject in all respects to Section 13.09), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Issuer to all holders of the Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock (or the capital stock of an another entity distributed pursuant to the Spin-Off), including Common Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 13.04(d). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 13.04(b), Section 13.04(c) and this Section 13.04(d), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(d) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of Common Shares to which Section 13.04(b) is applicable (a “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 13.04(c) is applicable (a “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(d) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 13.04(d) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 13.04(b) and Section 13.04(c) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Issuer (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Common Shares included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 13.04(c).

(e) If, on or after the Listing Date and so long as the Common Shares are then listed on the Listing Market, any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ X	SP
	SP – C

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

the amount in cash per share the Issuer distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 13.04(e) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Issuer determines in good faith not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(f) If, on or after the Listing Date and so long as the Common Shares are then listed on the Listing Market, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer (with “tender or exchange offer” including an issuer bid (as defined under Canadian securities laws)) for the Common Shares (other than any odd-lot tender offer and any normal course issuer bid effected in accordance with Canadian securities laws), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Shares exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁= CR₀ X	AC + (SP X OS₁)
	SP X OS₀

where:

CR₀

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires (such expiration date, the “Expiration Date”);

CR₁

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Issuer in good faith) paid or payable for Common Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀

the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Common Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS₁

the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all Common Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(f) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

If the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 13.04(f) but the Issuer or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable Law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been made.

(g) Notwithstanding this Section 13.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if (i) a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described in this Section 13.04, (ii) a Note is to be converted for which the conversion consideration includes Common Shares, (iii) any Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related Record Date, (iv) the consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Common Shares based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution and (v) the Holder would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution on account of such shares, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall be made for such conversion in respect of such Trading Day, but the Common Shares issuable with respect to such Trading Day based on such adjusted Conversion Rate shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(h) If a Holder has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would become the record holder of the Common Shares as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 13.02(j) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 13.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the Common Shares on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(i) Except as stated herein, the Issuer shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or the right to purchase Common Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(j) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 13.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Issuer’s securities are then listed, the Issuer from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Issuer determines, in good faith, that such increase would be in the Issuer’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which the Issuer’s securities are then listed, the Issuer may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares in connection with a dividend or distribution of Common Shares (or rights to acquire Common Shares) or similar event.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any Common Shares (other than any such issuance described in clause (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 13.04) at a price below the Conversion Price for the Notes;

(ii) upon the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Issuer’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under any plan;

(iii) upon the issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries (other than any shareholder rights plan);

(iv) upon the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (iii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(v) for a third-party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by one or more of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries described in clause (f) of this Section 13.04;

(vi) upon the repurchase of any Common Shares that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described under clause (f) of this Section 13.04, including structured or derivative transactions and open market repurchases of Common Shares, or transactions pursuant to a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise;

(vii) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Shares; or

(viii) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(l) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 13 shall be made by the Issuer and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

(m) If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Section 13.04 would result in a change of less than 1% to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the Conversion Rate; (ii) the Conversion Date for any Notes (in the case of Physical Settlement); (iii) on each Trading Day of an Observation Period for any Note; (iii) the effective date of a Fundamental Change and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change; (iv) if the Issuer calls any Notes for redemption; or (v) [the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date], in each case, unless the adjustment has already been made. The provision described in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 13.04(m) is referred to herein as the “1% Provision.”

(n) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Issuer shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Issuer shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(o) For purposes of this Section 13.04, the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Common Shares held in the treasury of the Issuer so long as the Issuer does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Common Shares held in the treasury of the Issuer, but shall include Common Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares.

Section 13.05. Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Issuer to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period and the Share Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Issuer shall make appropriate adjustments in good faith to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs at any time during such period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

Section 13.06. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Shares.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Shares (other than changes in par value or from par value to no par value, or changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Issuer,

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at the effective time of the Merger Event, the Issuer or the successor or acquiring person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders, providing that at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “Reference Property Unit” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Shares is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Issuer or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(j) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) the Issuer or the successor or acquiring company, as the case may be, shall continue to have the right to elect to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Conversion Obligation in excess of the principal amount of the Notes being converted, in accordance with Section 13.02, (B) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 13.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (C) any Common Shares that the Issuer would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 13.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of Common Shares would have received in such Merger Event and (D) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a Reference Property Unit.

If the Merger Event causes the Common Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Shares, and (ii) the Reference Property Unit for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Shares. If the holders of the Common Shares receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Shares in such Merger Event and (B) the Issuer shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Issuer shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such weighted average as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination is made.

If the Reference Property in respect of any Merger Event includes, in whole or in part, shares of Common Equity or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Equity, the supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 13 with respect to the portion of Reference Property consisting of such Common Equity or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Equity. If the Reference Property in respect of any such Merger Event includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets, other than cash and/or cash equivalents, of a Person other than the Issuer or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event and such other company, if an affiliate of the Issuer (or, if the Issuer does not survive the Merger Event, an affiliate of the successor or acquiring company) is party to the transaction, such other company shall also execute such supplemental indenture, and such supplemental indenture shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Issuer shall in good faith reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 14.

(b) When the Issuer executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 13.06(a), the Issuer shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a Reference Property Unit after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered notice thereof to all Holders. The Issuer shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) The Issuer shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 13.06 and in compliance with Section 13.08. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares, as applicable, as set forth in Section 13.01 and Section 13.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.

(d) The above provisions of this Section 13.06 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

Section 13.07. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Issuer contained in this Article 13. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in Section 13.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Issuer shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent notices with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights or obligations, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Issuer agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as provided for in this Article 13. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee nor any other agent acting under this Indenture (other than the Issuer, if acting in such capacity) shall have any obligation to make any calculation under this Article 13 or to determine whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Indenture, or to notify the Issuer or the Depositary or any of the Holders if the Notes have become convertible pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 13.08. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any (a) action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.03 or Section 13.04 or (b) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Issuer, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Issuer shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 13.09. Shareholder Rights Plan. If the Issuer has a shareholder rights plan in effect, upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Shares, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Shares issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Issuer distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 13.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 13.10. Ineligible Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if, prior to the date that is five years plus one day from the Last Original Issue Date, Holders would otherwise be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Notes, any property (including cash) or securities that would not constitute “prescribed securities” for the purposes of clause 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as it applied for the 2007 taxation year (referred to herein as “Ineligible Consideration”), such Holders shall not be entitled to receive such Ineligible Consideration but the Issuer or the successor or acquirer, as the case may be, shall have the right (at the sole option of the Issuer or the successor or acquirer, as the case may be) to deliver either such Ineligible Consideration or “prescribed securities,” for the purposes of clause 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as it applied for the 2007 taxation year, with a market value equal to the market value of such Ineligible Consideration. The Issuer shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing as promptly as practicable following the date the Issuer publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 50 Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, unless the Issuer previously agreed to a Physical Settlement for all such conversions, in which case the Issuer shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing no less than 10 Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. Such notice shall also state the consideration into which the Notes shall be convertible after the effective date of such transaction. After such notice, the Issuer or the successor or acquirer, as the case may be, may not change the consideration to be delivered upon conversion of the Notes except in accordance with any other provision of this Indenture.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuer shall make an offer to repurchase the Notes and each Holder shall, following the receipt of a Fundamental Change Notice, have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuer to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section 14.02 that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Issuer that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Notice at a repurchase price equal to the applicable Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Issuer shall instead pay, on or, at the Issuer’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to the applicable Redemption Price of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 14.

(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 14.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case, on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case, such delivery or transfer being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Physical Notes to be repurchased shall state:

(1) if Physical Notes have been issued the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(2) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(3) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.

If the Notes are Global Notes, to exercise the Fundamental Change repurchase right, Holders must surrender their Notes in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 14.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 14.02.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c) On or before the 15th Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Issuer shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and an offer by the Issuer to repurchase the Notes at the option of the Holders. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Issuer shall publish such information on the Issuer’s website or through such other public medium as the Issuer may use at that time, including through the filing of a Form 8-K or Form 6-K, as applicable, with the Commission. Each Fundamental Change Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the offer by the Issuer to repurchase the Notes;

(iv) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 14;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(vi) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(vii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;

(viii) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate as a result of a Fundamental Change (or related Make-Whole Fundamental Change);

(ix) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder validly withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(x) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Issuer to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01.

At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Notice shall be prepared by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Issuer shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth in this Article 14 and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer as set forth above.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Issuer on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuer in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuer in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been canceled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 14.02. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) in respect of Physical Notes by means of a written notice of withdrawal received by the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 14.02 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof,

(ii) the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

If the Notes are Global Notes, such notice of withdrawal must comply with applicable procedures of the Depositary.

Section 14.03. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Issuer will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer, or if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided that the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 14.01) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 14.01 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder or the account of the Depositary or its nominee, as applicable. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Issuer, return to the Issuer any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (and, to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable) of the Notes to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or whether or not the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and, to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable).

(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 14.01, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 14.04. Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to this Article 14, the Issuer will, if required:

(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

(b) comply with any applicable tender offer or other rules under Canadian securities laws;

(c) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act, and file any required schedule under applicable Canadian securities laws; and

(d) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and all applicable corporate and securities laws in each of the provinces and territories of Canada in connection with any offer by the Issuer to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 14 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 14; provided, however, that, to the extent that the Issuer’s obligations to offer to repurchase and to repurchase Notes pursuant to this Article 14 conflict with any applicable Law enacted after the Issue Date, the Issuer’s compliance with such Law will not be considered to be a breach of such obligations.

Article 15
Optional Redemption

Section 15.01. Optional Redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. At any time and from time to time, the Issuer may redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any part of the Notes, at the applicable Redemption Price plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

Section 15.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. (a) In case the Issuer exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 15.01, the Issuer shall fix a date for redemption, which date shall be a Business Day (each, a “Redemption Date”), and the Issuer or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than three Business Days prior to the Redemption Notice Date (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a written notice of such Optional Redemption prepared by the Issuer (a “Redemption Notice”) (in all cases, the text of such Redemption Notice shall be prepared by the Issuer) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part; provided that, if the Issuer shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent. A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

(b) The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

100

(i) the Redemption Date (which must be a Business Day);

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, including any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

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

(v) that Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes and the forms and amounts of consideration payable by the Issuer upon conversion, and the applicable Conversion Rate;

(vi) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and

(vii) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.

(d) If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are not Global Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption, subject, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Holder of any Note (or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note) is reasonably not able to determine, before the close of business on the 45th Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date, whether such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time before the close of business on the second Trading Day prior to such Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for, and each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for redemption. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any determination in connection with the foregoing.

101

Section 15.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. (a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 15.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable Redemption Price.

(b) Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Issuer, return to the Issuer any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

Section 15.04. Restrictions on Redemption. No Notes may be redeemed on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

Article 16
Guarantee

Section 16.01. Guarantee.

Subject to this Article 16, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

102

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note hereunder, this Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

Section 16.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 16, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor.

Section 16.03. Release of Guarantees.

Any Guarantee by a Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it (and all Liens securing such Guarantee) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

(1) the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(2) any sale, issuance or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person which is not a Subsidiary of the Issuer of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary or (ii) Capital Stock of a Subsidiary such that such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

103

Failure to mail or deliver a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.08.

Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 17.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation or other entity.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 17.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and shall deliver notice of such appointment to all Holders.

106

The Issuer agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services although the Issuer may terminate the authenticating agent, if it determines such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.

The provisions of Section 7.02, Section 7.03, Section 7.04, Section 8.03 and this Section 17.10 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 17.10, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications to Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Section 17.12. Severability. In the event any provision of this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (to the extent permitted by law) the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

Section 17.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 17.14. Force Majeure.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Issuer shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Redemption Price, Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values, the Daily Settlement Amounts, accrued interest payable on the Notes, any Additional Interest or Default Interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate of the Notes.

(b) Any conversion of Notes and any calculation or adjustment in connection with any conversion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Specified Dollar Amount) in excess of $1,000 will be calculated and converted on a proportional basis.

(c) All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a Common Share (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(d) The Issuer shall make all calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Issuer’s calculations shall be final and binding on Holders of Notes.

(e) The Issuer shall provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. The Issuer shall forward its calculations to any Holder of Notes upon the written request of that Xxxxxx.

Section 17.16. Currency Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer, and each Guarantor, shall pay all sums payable under this Indenture, the Notes or such Guarantee, as applicable, solely in U.S. dollars. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars by any payee, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or any Guarantor, shall only constitute a discharge to the Issuer or any such Guarantor to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount which a Person is able to purchase with the amount received or recovered in that other currency on the date of the receipt or recovery or, if it is not practicable to make the purchase on that date, on the first date on which such payee is able to do so. If the U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the Trustee under this Indenture or any Holder under this Indenture or any Note, the Issuer, and any Guarantor, shall indemnify such payee against any loss it sustains as a result. In any event, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify each payee, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, against the cost of making any purchase of U.S. dollars. For the purposes of this Section 17.16, it shall be sufficient for a payee to certify in a satisfactory manner that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. dollars been made with the amount received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery or, if it was not practicable to make the purchase on that date, on the first date on which it was able to do so. In addition, payees shall also be required to certify in a satisfactory manner the need for a change of the purchase date.

(b) The indemnities described in Section 17.16(a):

(i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors;

(ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action;

(iii) shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee; and

(iv) shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under this Indenture, any Note or any Guarantee.

108

Section 17.17. USA PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 17.18. OFAC.

(a) The Issuer covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers are the target or subject of any sanctions enforced by the U.S. government, (including the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”)), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively “Sanctions”).

(b) The Issuer covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers will use any part of the proceeds received in connection with this Indenture or any related transaction documents (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any Person who, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject or target of Sanctions, (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any country or territory that is the target or subject of Sanctions, or (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person.

Section 17.19. FATCA. In order to comply with FATCA, including regulations promulgated thereunder, or any intergovernmental agreement, including any related guidance or legislation, implementing FATCA (collectively, “Applicable FATCA Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, paying agent, holder or other institution is or has agreed to be subject to related to this Indenture, (i) to the extent the Issuer has in its possession sufficient information about Holders or other applicable parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) relating to Applicable FATCA Law, the Issuer agrees to provide to the Trustee such information for the Trustee’s determination as to any tax-related obligations under Applicable FATCA Law, (ii) the Issuer agrees that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable FATCA Law for which the Trustee shall not have any liability, and (iii) the Issuer agrees to hold harmless the Trustee for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with such Applicable FATCA Law. The terms of this Section 17.19 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 17.20. Electronic Communications. The Trustees shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Trustees an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (each, an “Authorized Officer”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuer whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Trustees Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustees in their discretion elect to act upon such Instructions, the Trustees understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Issuer understands and agrees that the Trustees cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustees shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustees have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Issuer shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustees and that the Issuer 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 Issuer. The Trustees shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustees reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustees, including without limitation the risk of the Trustees acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustees and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Issuer; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustees immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, all issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of [●], 2023 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian co-trustee (the “Canadian Co-Trustee”), to which Indenture and all supplemental indentures thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Canadian Co-Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.

In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

The Issuer will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Required Holders, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

The Issuer is, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, obligated to make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders to purchase that amount of Notes equal to Excess Proceeds at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but not including the date of purchase, with Excess Proceeds, in each case, of certain sales or other dispositions of assets in accordance with the Indenture.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares, as applicable, at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
