SECTION 203. FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 3.65% Senior Notes due 2027 (herein called the “Notes”), which may be issued under an indenture (as the same may from time to time be supplemented or amended (other than by a Series Supplement), herein called the “Base Indenture”) dated as of May 26, 2009 between the Company and CIBC Mellon Trust Company, as trustee, as supplemented and amended by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) dated as of March 31, 2020 among the Company, Xxxxxx Communications Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (the “Guarantor”), and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as successor trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and

the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

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

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantor has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The Notes will be subject to redemption, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by first-class mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, in amounts of Cdn$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to: (i) prior to January 31, 2027, the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (2) the Discounted Value of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date; and (ii) on or after January 31, 2027, 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

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

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

Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

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

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

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of Cdn$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 401. ADDITIONAL EVENT OF DEFAULT.

In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 401 of the Indenture, “Event of Default”, wherever used herein and in the Indenture with respect to the Notes, includes the occurrence of a Change in Control Triggering Event (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body).

Under this Supplemental Indenture, a “Change in Control Triggering Event” is deemed to occur upon both a Change in Control and a Rating Decline with respect to the Notes.

A “Change in Control” means (i) any transaction (including an amalgamation, merger or consolidation or the sale of Capital Stock of the Company) the result of which is that any Person or group of Persons (as the term “group” is used in Rule 13d-5 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and as in force at the date hereof), other than Members of the Rogers Family or a Person or group of Persons consisting of or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more Members of the Rogers Family, acquires, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of Voting Shares of the Company or (ii) any transaction (including an amalgamation, merger or consolidation or the sale of Capital Stock of the Company) the result of which is that any Person or group of Persons, other than (A) Members of the Rogers Family or a Person or group of Persons consisting of or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more Members of the Rogers Family or (B) for so long as the only primary beneficiaries of a Qualifying Trust established under the last will and testament of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx are one or more persons referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Member of the Rogers Family” or the Spouse, for the time being and from time to time, of the issue (including individuals adopted by such Persons, provided that such adopted individuals have not attained the age of majority at the date of such adoption, together with the issue of any such adopted individuals) of any person described in subclause (i)(b) or (c) of the definition of “Member of the Rogers Family”, any Person designated by the trustees of such Qualifying Trust to exercise voting rights attaching to any shares

held by such trustees, has elected to the Board of Directors such number of its or their nominees so that such nominees so elected shall constitute a majority of the number of the directors comprising the Board of Directors; provided that to the extent that one or more regulatory approvals are required for any of the transactions or circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above to become effective under applicable law, such transactions or circumstances shall be deemed to have occurred at the time such approvals have been obtained and become effective under applicable law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 402. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

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

SECTION 403. RESERVED.

(Canada News Wire) or a similar news service in Canada. The Change in Control Offer shall remain open from the time such offer is made until the Change in Control Purchase Date.

However, Debt which is subordinate to the Notes or which is owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may not be retired in satisfaction of clause (b) above.

SECTION 504. LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY DEBT.

The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Debt (other than Debt to the extent that the Notes are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt), unless (1) the obligations of the Company under the Notes are guaranteed (which guarantee may be on an unsecured basis) by such Restricted Subsidiary such that the claim of the Holders of the Notes under such guarantee ranks prior to or pari passu with such Debt or (2) after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the sum of (without duplication) (x) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Debt (other than Exempted Secured Debt) of all Restricted Subsidiaries, (y) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Secured Debt of the Company (not on a Consolidated basis) and (z) Attributable Debt relating to then outstanding Sale and Leaseback Transactions, would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that this restriction will not apply to, and there will be excluded from any calculation hereunder, (A) Debt owing by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary and (B) Debt secured by Permitted Liens; provided, further, that this restriction will not prohibit the incurrence of Debt in

connection with any extension, renewal or replacement (including successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Debt of the Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that the principal amount of such Debt immediately prior to such extension, renewal or replacement is not increased).

SECTION 505. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

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

the Trustee (including all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 507 of the Indenture) and the Holders of the Notes which obligations arise under this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, according to the terms hereof and thereof, including any applicable grace periods (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantee shall be an unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor ranking pari passu with other present and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor.

(b) The Guarantor agrees that, without obtaining the consent of or giving notice to the Guarantor, the Trustee may vary this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture, as provided herein and therein, grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Company and other parties as the Trustee may see fit and may apply all monies received from the Company or others or from securities upon such part of the Company’s liability as the Trustee may think best without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening the liability of the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture.

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

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

(e) All monies, advances, renewals and credits in fact borrowed or obtained by the Company under this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to form part of the liabilities hereby guaranteed notwithstanding any limitation of status or of power of the Company or of the directors or agents thereof or that the Company may not be a legal entity or any irregularity, defect or informality in the borrowing or obtaining of such monies, advances, renewals or credits.

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

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

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

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

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

(k) The Guarantor acknowledges that, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes, the Guarantee or this Supplemental Indenture, it irrevocably submits and attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario. In addition, to the extent that the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the above-referenced documents, to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 702. RELEASE OF GUARANTOR.

(a) In addition to the release provisions set forth in the Indenture, subject to Section 702(d), the Guarantor shall be released and relieved from all of its obligations under this Article Seven, and the Guarantee shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect, upon the request of the Company (without the consent of the Trustee) if, immediately after giving effect to such release and termination (and, if applicable, any transaction in connection therewith, including any other concurrent release, termination, repayment or discharge of any other

guarantee or other Debt of the Guarantor), the Company would be in compliance with Section 504 hereof, including in the event of a sale or other disposition as a result of which the Guarantor would cease to be a Subsidiary.

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

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

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

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

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

Person by liquidation, winding-up or otherwise (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) unless:

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

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

(iii) the Guarantor, the Company or the Successor Guarantor, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction (or series of transactions), such supplemental indenture, comply with this Section 703(a) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

(b) Upon any amalgamation, consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets of the Guarantor substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 703(a), the Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Guarantor had been named as the

Guarantor herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the Guarantor shall be released and relieved from all of its obligations under this Article Seven, and the Guarantee shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.

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