2.	2017 NOTES

2.1

Form and Terms of 2017 Notes

There shall be and there is hereby created for issuance under the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Third Supplemental Indenture, a series of Securities which shall consist of an aggregate principal amount of US$300,000,000 2017 Notes; provided, however, that if the Company shall, at any time after the date hereof, increase the principal amount of 2017 Notes which may be issued and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), then any such additional 2017 Notes so issued shall have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and the date from which interest thereon shall begin to accrue and, under certain circumstances, the first interest payment date), and shall carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the 2017 Notes theretofore issued; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to increase the principal amount of 2017 Notes which may be issued or issue any such increased principal amount if the Company has effected satisfaction and discharge of the Original Indenture pursuant to Section 401 of the Original Indenture or defeasance or covenant defeasance pursuant to Article 15 of the Original Indenture.

The 2017 Notes will mature, and the principal of the 2017 Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable, on January 15, 2017 (the “2017 Stated Maturity”), or such earlier date as the principal of any of the 2017 Notes may become due and

payable in accordance with the provisions of the Original Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture.

The 2017 Notes shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from July 5, 2011 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest shall have been paid or provided for payment on the 2017 Notes, whichever is later, at the rate of 3.15% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 (each, a “2017 Interest Payment Date”) of each year, commencing January 15, 2012, until the principal of and premium, if any, on the applicable series of 2017 Notes is paid or provided for payment. Interest on the 2017 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest payable, and punctually paid or provided for, on any 2017 Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Original Indenture, be paid to the Persons in whose names the 2017 Notes (or one or more predecessor 2017 Notes) are registered at the close of business on January 1 or July 1 (the “2017 Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately prior to such 2017 Interest Payment Date, regardless of whether any such 2017 Regular Record Date is a Business Day. Any such interest on the 2017 Notes not so punctually paid or provided for on any 2017 Interest Payment Date shall be payable, as applicable, as provided in the form of 2017 Note annexed hereto as Schedule A to this Third Supplemental Indenture.

For purposes only of providing the disclosure required by the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which the rate payable under the 2017 Notes is equivalent is the rate payable under the 2017 Notes multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period. For the foregoing purposes, each year of 360 days and the period of twelve 30-day months comprised in such year shall be deemed to commence on the day of the month from which interest on the 2017 Notes is expressed to accrue upon the original issue thereof.

All payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2017 Notes will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, and all references herein to “United States dollars”, “US$” or “U.S. dollars” shall be deemed to refer to such coin or currency of the United States of America. If any date on which principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2017 Notes is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on that date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2017 Notes shall be payable, and the 2017 Notes may be surrendered for exchange, registration, transfer or discharge from registration, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York, New York, and in such other places as the Company may from time to time designate in accordance with the Original Indenture. The Trustee is hereby appointed as the initial Paying Agent and Security Registrar for the 2017 Notes in the City of New York, New York.

The 2017 Notes shall be issued only as registered Global Securities, without coupons, in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The 2017 Notes initially will be represented by one or more Global

Securities (collectively, the “2017 Global Notes”) registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary or its nominee, or a successor depositary or its nominee.

The certificates representing the 2017 Notes shall bear the following legend:

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE REGISTERED, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY SECURITY AUTHENTICATED AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN LIEU OF, THIS SECURITY SHALL BE A GLOBAL SECURITY SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.

The 2017 Notes and the certificate of the Trustee endorsed thereon shall be in the form set out in Schedule A to this Third Supplemental Indenture with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations as the Trustee may approve and shall be numbered in such manner as the Trustee may approve, such approvals of the Trustee concerning any 2017 Note to be conclusively evidenced by its certification of such 2017 Note.

7.1

7.1.1

Guarantees

The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees, on an unsecured, senior basis to each Holder of Notes and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of, and interest and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the Original Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Original Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes (all the foregoing hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantor and that the Guarantor will remain bound under this Section

7.1 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any obligation with respect to the Notes. The Company hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees the Guarantee of the Guarantor on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis.

The Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to the Notes and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under the Original Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Original Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; or (5) except as set forth in Section 7.1.6, any change in the ownership of the Guarantor.

The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee.

Except as expressly set forth in Section 1502 of the Original Indenture and Sections 7.1.2 and 7.1.6 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Original Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee with respect to the Notes shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any obligation with respect to the Notes is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantor hereby

promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.

The Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 of the Original Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantor’s Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to the Notes guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 5 of the Original Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 7.1.1.

The Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 7.1.1.

7.1.2

Limitation on Liability

Any term or provision of the Original Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by the Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Original Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

7.1.3

Successors and Assigns

This Article 7 shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders and their respective successors and assigns and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Original Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture.

7.1.4

No Waiver

Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 7 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 7 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

7.1.5

Modification

No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 7, nor the consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

7.1.6

Release of Guarantor

The Guarantor will be released and relieved of its obligations under this Article 7, and the Guarantee will be terminated, upon the Company’s request (without the consent of the Trustee) if:

(a) the Company notifies each debt rating agency known to it which has assigned a rating to the applicable series of Notes and which is designated by the Commission as a “Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization” (a “Participating NRSRO”) and the Trustee of its intention to exercise the option to terminate the Guarantee of the applicable series of Notes at least 45 days prior to the proposed date of such termination (the “Release Date”);

(b) on the proposed Release Date, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that it has satisfied each of the four conditions listed in subsection (c) below; and

Notwithstanding the above provision, the Guarantee of the Guarantor may not be released pursuant to the above provision if, immediately after the release, the Guarantor remains (i) a guarantor in respect of any of the Company’s existing public debt securities outstanding on the date hereof, or (ii) an obligor on any intercompany Indebtedness which has been pledged by the Company for the benefit of any holders of any of the Company’s existing public debt securities outstanding on the date hereof.

It will be an Event of Default if, at any time following release of the Guarantee, (i) the Guarantor or any successor thereof has been for a period of not less than 30 consecutive days, the primary obligor or guarantor with respect to Indebtedness in an aggregate amount which exceeds 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, (ii) the Guarantor has not, within such

30-day period, provided to the Trustee a Guarantee on substantially the same terms and conditions as the original Guarantee that ranks pari passu with the unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor and (iii) on the 30th day of such 30-day period the Guarantor was a subsidiary of the Company.

In addition, the Guarantor will be released and relieved of its obligations under this Article 7, and the Guarantee will be terminated, upon the Company’s request (without the consent of the Trustee):

At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

Other than in accordance with the release provisions of this Section 7.1.6, the Guarantor will not be released from its payment obligations under its Guarantee and no amendment or waiver of these release provisions will be permitted except, in each case, with the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note of the affected series.

The Guarantor agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Guarantor and may be enforced in the courts of Canada (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Guarantor is subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided, that service of process is effected upon the Guarantor in the manner specified in the following paragraph or as otherwise permitted by law; provided, however, that the Guarantor does not waive, and the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of, (i) any right to appeal any such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to seek reconsideration or review of any such judgment or (ii) any stay of execution or levy pending an appeal from, or a suit, action or proceeding for reconsideration or review of, any such judgment.

As long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall at all times have an authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Original Indenture, this Third Supplemental Indenture or any Note. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Guarantor shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Guarantor in any such legal action or proceeding. The Guarantor hereby appoints CT Corporation System as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any such legal action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at 000- 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (or at such other address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Guarantor may designate by written notice to the Trustee).

The Guarantor hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in the preceding paragraphs by service upon such agent together with the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of the Guarantor set forth in the first paragraph of this instrument or to any other address of which the Company shall have given written notice to the Trustee. The Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service (but does not waive any right to assert lack of subject matter jurisdiction) and agrees that such service (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Guarantor in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest

extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to the Guarantor.

Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Trustee or any Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Trustee to bring proceedings against the Guarantor in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY.

REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2010 (herein called the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 5, 2011, between the Company, Teck Metals Ltd. (the “Guarantor”) and the Trustee (herein called the “Third Supplemental Indenture”, the Original Indenture as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of a series designated on the face hereof limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$300,000,000.

The Company will pay Holders such Additional Amounts as may be payable under Section 1009 of the Indenture.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of the Securities of this series in part only, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed by a method determined by the Trustee to be fair and appropriate.

The Securities do not have benefit of sinking fund obligations.

The Securities are also subject to redemption, in whole but not in part, at any time, at the option of the Company, on not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ prior to the date fixed for redemption as provided by Section 1109 of the Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Securities have been called for redemption by the Company as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities

repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase, as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

The payment by the Company of the principal of and interest and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, senior basis by the Guarantor.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants, in each case upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.

As provided for in the Indenture, the Company may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities initially issued by the Company and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities originally issued.

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 of the Securities of each such series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, 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 the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security 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 Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security 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, if any, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in the Securities of

this series or the Indenture interest at a specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitation therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument, if any, of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

If at any time, (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable or no longer qualifies to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (ii) the Company determines that the Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Global Securities, then in such event the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
