“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person,
the ratio of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of such Person for the four
full fiscal quarters, treated as one period, for which internal financial information in respect
thereof is available immediately preceding the date of the transaction (the “Transaction Date”)
giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (such four full
fiscal quarter period being referred to herein as the “Four Quarter Period”) to the aggregate
amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges of such Person for the Four Quarter Period. In addition
to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, “Consolidated
Adjusted EBITDA” and “Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall be calculated after giving effect, on
a Pro Forma Basis for the period of such calculation, to any Asset Sales or other dispositions or
Asset Acquisitions, investments, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued
operations (as determined in accordance with IFRS) and designations of any Restricted
Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted
Subsidiary occurring during the Four Quarter Period or any time subsequent to the last day of the
Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale or other
disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the Incurrence or assumption of any such Acquired
Debt), investment, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, disposed operation or designation
occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period. For purposes of this definition, Pro Forma
calculations shall be made in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under
the Securities Act or in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws.
If the Debt which is the subject of a determination of the Consolidated Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio is Acquired Debt, or Debt Incurred in connection with the simultaneous
Asset Acquisition, or Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary being designated as a Restricted
Subsidiary, then such ratio shall be determined by giving effect (on a Pro Forma Basis, as if the
transaction had occurred at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period) to (x) the Incurrence of
such Acquired Debt or such other Debt by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and
(y) the inclusion, in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of
the acquired Person, business, property or assets or redesignated Subsidiary. For purposes of
calculating Debt which is the subject of a determination of the Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in another
currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the last day
of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial information is available at
the time of calculation.
Furthermore, in calculating “Consolidated Fixed Charges” for purposes of
determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this “Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio”:
(i) interest on outstanding Debt determined on a fluctuating basis as of the
Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have
accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Debt in effect (taking into
account any Hedging Obligations or Swap Contract applicable to such Debt) on the Transaction
Date; and
-12-
(ii) if interest on any Debt actually Incurred on the Transaction Date may
optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a
eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect (taking into
account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Debt) on the Transaction Date will be
deemed to have been in effect during the Four Quarter Period.
If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly
Guarantees Debt of a third Person, the calculation referred to in this definition shall give effect to
the Incurrence of such Guaranteed Debt as if such Person or such Subsidiary had directly
Incurred or otherwise assumed such Guaranteed Debt.
“Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period,
the sum of, without duplication, the amounts for such period of:

(2) the product of (a) all dividends and other distributions paid or accrued
during such period in respect of Redeemable Capital Interests of such Person and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (other than dividends paid in Qualified Capital Interests), times (b) a fraction, the
numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then current combined
federal, state and local statutory tax rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal.
“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any
period, without duplication, the sum of:
(1) the consolidated interest expense of such Person and its Restricted
Subsidiaries for such period, to the extent such expense was deducted (and not added back) in
computing Consolidated Net Income, as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with
IFRS, including, without limitation:
(a) any amortization of Debt discount;
(b) the net payments (less net payments received) under any Hedging
Obligation or Swap Contract in respect of interest rate protection (including any
amortization of discounts, but excluding xxxx to market movements in the
valuation of Hedging Obligations);
(c) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligation;
(d) all commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with
respect to letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances; and
(e) all accrued interest;

scheduled to be paid or accrued by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such

such period;
less interest income of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period;

any expensing of interim loan commitment and other financing fees.

(4) the net after-tax effect of gains, losses, charges and expenses attributable
to disposed, discontinued, closed or abandoned operations and any net after-tax gains, losses,
charges and expenses related to the disposal of disposed, abandoned, closed or discontinued
operations shall be excluded;
(5) the net after-tax effect of gains, losses, charges and expenses attributable
to the early extinguishment or conversion of Debt, Hedge Agreements or other derivative

Subsidiary, or that is accounted for by the equity method of accounting, shall be excluded;
provided that Consolidated Net Income shall be increased by the amount of dividends or
distributions or other payments that are actually paid to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof in such period in cash;
(7) the effects of adjustments (including the effects of such adjustments
pushed down to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in any line item in such person’s
consolidated financial statements pursuant to IFRS resulting from the application of
recapitalization accounting or purchase accounting, as the case may be, in connection with any
acquisition or any joint venture investments or the amortization or write off of any amounts
thereof, net of taxes, shall be excluded;

capital of the Company or any Parent Entity or net cash proceeds of an issuance of Capital
Interests (other than Redeemable Capital Interests) of the Company or any direct or indirect
parent of the Company shall be excluded;
(11) any non-cash loss, charge or expense relating to the incurrence of

THE NOTES
Section 2.01 Form and Dating; Terms.
(a) The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly
made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements, not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law, or
with any rules of any securities exchange or usage or with the rules of the Depositary or this
Indenture, all as may be determined by the officers executing such Notes as evidenced by their
execution of the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall
be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
-57-
(b) Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (including the Global Notes Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests
in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Notes Legend thereon and without
the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note
shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges
of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up
to the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be
reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a
Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the
direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required
by Section 2.06.
Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation
S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the
authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or
its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.
(c) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by
their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and
to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Company pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase as provided in Section 4.10 or Section 4.14. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other
than as provided in Article 3.
Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and
issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall
be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms
as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than with respect to the issue date, the purchase price
thereof and the date from which the interest accrues) as the Initial Notes; provided that the
Company’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Company’s compliance with
Section 4.09. The Notes and any Additional Notes shall be substantially identical other than the
issuance dates, offering price, and, if applicable, the date from which interest shall accrue.
Except as described under Article 9, the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently
-58-
issued under this Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture,
including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, and shall vote together as
one class on all matters with respect to the Notes, provided that if the Additional Notes are not
fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Additional Notes will have a
separate CUSIP number, if applicable. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to
“Notes” for all purposes of this Indenture include any Additional Notes that are actually issued.
Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this
Indenture.
In authenticating and delivering Additional Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of
Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required by Section 13.03, an Opinion of Counsel (i) as to the
due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Additional Notes,
(ii) stating that the form and terms of such Additional Notes have been established by a
supplemental indenture and pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and (iii) stating that all laws and requirements in
respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Additional Notes have been
complied with.
(d) The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and
“Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of
Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers
of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S
Permanent Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.
Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.
(a) At least one Authorized Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the
Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on a
Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless
be valid.
(b) A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form provided for in
Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
under this Indenture.
(c) On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the
Company signed by an Authorized Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver
the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued
hereunder and, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.01, such
Authentication Order shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.09.
-59-
(d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal
with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.
(a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the United States
where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and at
least one office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for payment
(“Paying Agent”), which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee located at 00
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes
and of their transfer and exchange (“Note Register”). The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-
registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder; provided, however,
that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of an appointment by a
successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such
successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee and the
passage of any waiting or notice periods required by the Depositary’s procedures or (ii) written
notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the
appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Company shall enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this
Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such
Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent
not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Affiliate incorporated or
organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent (except for purposes of
Article 8) or Registrar.
(b) The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to
the Global Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and
Registrar for the Notes, for which the Trustee shall be Custodian. If, at any time, the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Registrar shall make available to the Trustee ten days prior to each Interest
Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request the names and
addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Note Register.
Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust and as agent for the benefit of Holders or the
Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
-60-
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the
money. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying
Agent until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as
provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any action or
failure to act as required by this Section. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings
relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
Section 2.05 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days before
each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in
writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of the Holders.
Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in
this Section 2.06, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another
nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note
unless (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the
Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default with respect to the
Notes or (iii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the
issuance of Definitive Notes (although Regulation S Temporary Global Notes at the Company’s
election pursuant to this clause may not be exchanged for Definitive Notes prior to (a) the
expiration of the Restricted Period and (b) the receipt of any certificates required under the
provisions of Regulation S). Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests
therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by
or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also
may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.07 and Section 2.10.
Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or Section 2.10, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Definitive
Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above and pursuant to
Sections 2.06(c) or (e). A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as
provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Sections 2.06(b) and (c).

transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the
Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.
Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer
comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either
subparagraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other

Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons

Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a
U.S. Person (other than the Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any
Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof

orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect
the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i).
(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in
Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial

interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a
Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be
credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the

of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903; provided, further, that in no
event shall a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note be credited, or an
Unrestricted Definitive Note be issued, to a Person who is an affiliate (as defined
in Rule 144) of the Company. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for
transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this

Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant
to Section 2.06(g).
(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.
A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person
who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another
Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of
Section 2.06(b)(ii) and the Registrar receives the following:

Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of
Section 2.06(b)(ii) and:
(A) the Registrar receives the following:
(1) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial
interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (A) above at a time when
an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate one or
more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (A) above.
Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or
transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Note.

Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who
takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon
receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the

Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal
amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly and will cause the

cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge

whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent

Additional Notes if so required by the supplemental indenture relating to such
Additional Notes. With respect to Global Notes, the Canadian Restricted Legend
shall be affixed to any Global Note representing the Initial Notes, and to any
Global Note representing Additional Notes if so required by the supplemental
indenture relating to those Additional Notes.
Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must
be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to
protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any
of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company or the Trustee may charge for their
expenses in replacing a Note, which may include any expenses of the Trustee.
Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes
duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.
(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions hereof, those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding and, solely to the extent
-75-
provided for in Article 8, Notes that are subject to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as
provided in Article 8. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; provided that
Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary will not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of
Section 3.07(b).
(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding
unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected
purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in
the State of New York.
(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01,
it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such
payment.
(d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or any Affiliate
thereof) holds, on the maturity date or any redemption date or date for repurchase of the Notes
money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and
after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.
Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes
have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Company,
or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall
not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right
to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is
not the Company or any obligor under the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such
other obligor.
Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.
Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of
such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company, without charge to the Holder.
Until so exchanged, the Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes
shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of
Notes under this Indenture.
-76-
Section 2.11 Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the
Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration
of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes
in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all canceled Notes shall, upon the written request
of the Company, be delivered to the Company. The Trustee shall retain all canceled Notes in
accordance with its standard procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the
Exchange Act), and copies of the canceled Notes shall be provided to the Company upon the
Company’s written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has
paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company acquires any of
the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of Debt represented
by such Notes unless or until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee
shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture.
Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.
(a) If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay,
or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay,
the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the
defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each
case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of
the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted
interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior
to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust and as agent
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12.
The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date;
provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment
date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company
(or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company) shall send, or cause to be sent, to each Holder a notice that states the special record
date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater
certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue
interest, which were carried by such other Note.
-77-
Section 2.13 Additional Amounts.
(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor
(each such person who pays or credits such amounts, a “Payor”) under or with respect to the
Notes or any Note Guarantee will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (hereinafter referred to as
“taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any
jurisdiction in which such Payor is organized, resident or carrying on business for tax purposes
or from or through which payments are made by or on behalf of such Payor or any political
subdivision or authority of the foregoing that has the power to tax (each a “Taxing Jurisdiction”),
unless the deduction or withholding is required by applicable law or by the interpretation or
administration thereof by the relevant governmental authority.
(b) At any time a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction requires deductions or
withholdings of taxes from any payment made under or in respect of the Notes, the Payor will
pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net
amounts received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts), after such deduction or
withholding (including withholding or deduction attributable to Additional Amounts payable
hereunder), shall not be less than the amount the Holder would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required.
(c) However, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Additional Amounts will be
payable to a Holder of a Note by any Payor with respect to: (i) taxes that would not have been
imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or
beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of
the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder or beneficial owner is an estate,
nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and any Taxing Jurisdiction (including without
limitation, by virtue of the Holder or beneficial owner being a citizen or resident of, incorporated
in or carrying on a business, having a permanent establishment or having a place of business in
such jurisdiction), other than solely by reason of the Holder or beneficial owner purchasing,
holding or disposing of the Notes; (ii) taxes imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments
in respect of the Notes if such payments could have been made without such imposition,
deduction or withholding of such taxes had such Notes been presented for payment (where
presentation is required) within 30 days after the relevant date (except to the extent that the
Holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting a Note for
payment on the last day of such 30 day period); for this purpose, the “relevant date” in relation to
any payments on any Note means: (a) the due date for payment thereof, or (b) if the full amount
of the monies payable on such date have not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due
date, the date on which the full amount of such monies having been so received, provided that
notice to that effect is duly given to Holders of the Notes in accordance with this Indenture; (iii)
taxes imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or beneficial owner of such
Note to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the
nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner or to make any declaration or
similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, within 30 days
after a specific written request therefor from a Payor, which is required by law, regulation or
-78-
administrative practice or applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from or reduction in
the rate of deduction or withholding of all or part of such taxes; (iv) withholding tax payable
under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) that is imposed on amounts
payable to or for the account of a beneficial owner of a Note as a consequence of such beneficial
owner not dealing at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) with a Payor at the time
of such payment; (v) any withholding tax payable under Part XIII of the Tax Act that is imposed
on amounts payable to or for the account of a beneficial owner of a Note as a consequence of
such beneficial owner being, at any time, a “specified non-resident shareholder” (within the
meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act) of the Company, or, at any time, not dealing at
arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) with a “specified shareholder” (within the
meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act) of the Company; (vi) any estate, inheritance, gift,
sales, transfer or similar tax; (vii) any tax or penalty arising from the Holder’s failure to properly
comply with the Holder’s obligations imposed under Part XVIII of the Tax Act or the similar
provisions of legislation of any other jurisdiction that has entered into an agreement with the
United States of America to provide for the implementation of reporting in that jurisdiction in
compliance with Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”); or (viii) taxes arising from any combination of the foregoing clauses (i)
to (vii).
(d) The Payors will (1) make such withholding or deduction and (2) remit the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant government authority in accordance with
applicable law. The Payors will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment
of any taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing that
such payment has been made or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Trustee.
(e) The Payors, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder and beneficial owner of Notes and upon written request reimburse each such Holder and
beneficial owner for the amount of (x) any taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder or
beneficial owner (including, for greater certainty, taxes imposed and paid pursuant to subsection
215(4) of the Tax Act and section 803 of the Income Tax Regulations (Canada) or any successor
provision) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes, (y) any liability
(including penalties, interest, additions to tax and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, and (z) any taxes levied or imposed and paid by such Holder or beneficial owner
with respect to any reimbursement under (x) or (y) above; provided, however, that the
indemnification or reimbursement obligations provided for in this Section 2.13(e) shall not
extend to taxes for which the applicable Holder would not have been eligible to receive payment
of Additional Amounts hereunder by virtue of clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.13(c) if the
Payor had been required to withhold from such payments or to the extent such Holder received
Additional Amounts with respect to such payments.
(f) In addition, any amounts to be paid by a Payor on the Notes will be paid
net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474
of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement
entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules
or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection
with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (“FATCA Withholding”). Neither any
-79-
Guarantor nor the Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any
FATCA Withholding.
(g) Each Holder entitled to any Additional Amounts shall cooperate, to the
extent described in clause (iii) of Section 2.13(c) above, with the Company and the Trustee in
providing any information or documentation that is required by applicable law or by the taxing
authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and that is reasonably requested in writing by the
Company or the Trustee to confirm the identity and/or tax status of such Holder and any affected
beneficial owner and to assist the Company or Trustee in determining the applicable withholding
tax rate and the amount of Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof.
(h) At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under
or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee is due and payable, if a Payor will be
obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to
the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the
amounts so payable, and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to
pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date net of any taxes required to be
withheld or deducted.
(i) In addition, the Payor will pay any stamp, issue, registration, court,
documentation, excise or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including any interest, penalties
and any similar liabilities with respect thereto, imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction at any time in
respect of the execution, issuance, registration or delivery of the Notes, any Note Guarantee, this
Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to hereunder or thereunder and any such
taxes, charges or duties imposed by a Taxing Jurisdiction on any payments made pursuant to the
Notes or as a result of, or in connection with, the enforcement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee
and/or any other such document or instrument.
(j) The obligations under this Section 2.13 will survive any termination,
defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor
Person to the Payor and to any jurisdiction in which such successor is organized or is otherwise
resident or carrying on business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which
payment is made by such successor or its respective agents.
(k) Whenever this Indenture refers to, in any context, the payment of
principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any
Note or any Note Guarantee, such reference shall be deemed to include the payment of
Additional Amounts or indemnification payments as described in this Section 2.13, to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
Section 2.14 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then
generally in use) and if it does, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of
redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any
such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either
-80-
as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in Offers to
Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.
Section 2.15 Computation of Interest.
(a) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months.
(b) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee
under the Notes or this Indenture is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a
full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is
equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant
year of calculation, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated.
The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under
the Notes or this Indenture. The rates of interest stipulated in the Notes and this Indenture are
intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

REDEMPTION
Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.
If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 or Section 3.09, it
shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to
be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be
agreed to by the Trustee in writing) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an
Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note or Section of
this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.
(a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07 or
purchased in an Offer to Purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed
or purchased (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with
the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed or (2)
if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in
its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate, all in accordance with the procedures of the
Depositary in the case of Global Notes. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the
particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then
outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.
-81-
(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption
or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of
Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole number multiples of $1,000; no Notes of
$2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be
redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not
$2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.
(c) After the redemption date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed in part
only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original
Note, representing the same Debt to the extent not redeemed, shall be issued in the name of the
Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be
made to reflect such partial redemption).
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.
(a) The Company shall send, or cause to be sent (in the case of Notes held in
book-entry form, by electronic transmission) notices of redemption of Notes at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be
redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be sent
more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8
or Article 11.
(b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP and
ISIN number, if applicable) and shall state:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any
accrued and unpaid interest, if any; provided that in connection with a redemption under
Section 3.07(a), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of
calculation thereof;
(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal
amount of that Note that is to be redeemed;
(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent
to collect the redemption price;
(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or
the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this
-82-
Indenture, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;
(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the
CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.
(c) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption
in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be
sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be
agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice
and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(b).
Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called
for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption
price. The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have
been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such
notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole
or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or
portions of Notes called for redemption.
Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.
(a) By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or
purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to
each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased the applicable redemption or
purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon. The Trustee or the
Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the
Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or
purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or
purchased.
(b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and
after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions
of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a
Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption or purchase date shall be paid on the relevant Interest Payment
Date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such
Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject
-83-
to redemption by the Company. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so
paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply
with Section 3.05(a), interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption
or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to
the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.
Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company
shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate
and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company
a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered representing the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that
each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary,
only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required
for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.
Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.
(a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to

regulations, electronically) to each Holder’s registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, plus

Notes on a relevant Record Date to receive interest due on a relevant Interest Payment Date);
provided that (1) at least 50% of the principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes)
remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption (excluding Notes
held by the Company or its Subsidiaries); and (2) any such redemption occurs within 90 days
following the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.
(c) Except pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 3.07 or pursuant to
Section 3.09, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to October 1,
2019.
-84-

whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2019, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60

the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

payments with respect to the Notes.

offer, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and at prices as well as with such
consideration as the Company and its Affiliates may determine, subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws and regulations including, without limitation, Canadian Securities
Laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.
Section 3.09 Tax Redemption.
(a) The Company, at its option, may redeem all but not part of the Notes,

the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
not including, the date fixed by the Company for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all
Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date
as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record
Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if, due to a Change in Tax
Law, the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, respectively, would become
obligated, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, to
pay to the Holder or beneficial owner of any Note any Additional Amounts, and the Company
cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available (including
making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction).
(b) Notice of the Company’s intent to redeem the Notes pursuant to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.09(a) shall not be effective until such time as the Company
delivers to the Trustee both (i) a certificate signed by two of its Authorized Officers stating that
-85-
the Company cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Company taking
reasonable measures available (including making payment through a paying agent located in
another jurisdiction), and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee and qualified to practice law in the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction stating that the
applicable Payor is obligated to pay Additional Amounts because of a Change in Tax Law. The
Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such certificate and opinion of counsel as
sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(a),
which will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.
(c) This Section 3.09 will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Persons to
the Company and any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company is incorporated
or organized or engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or
through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Person on the Notes, and any political

good faith judgment that such event is not reasonably expected to be material to the
Holders or the business, operations or capital of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and
(4) so long as the Company is obligated to make such filings or furnish such
information, any filings or information filed with and made publicly available by the

Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) website (or any successor system).
(b) If any document of the type contemplated in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of

Company becomes aware of such Default, receives such notice or becomes aware of such action,
as applicable) send to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event, its status and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Section 4.05 Taxes.
The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay,
prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies except such as are
contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to
effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.
Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
The Company and each Guarantor 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 wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such
law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.07(a), the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries may take the following actions; provided that, at the time of and after
giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default shall have

subsequent changes in value); and

permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to
have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment
made in good faith to the Company’s financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income.
(d) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair
Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be

sole discretion, such Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) among such clauses
(1) to (13) of Section 4.07(b), and/or one or more of such clauses contained in the definition of
“Permitted Investments” hereunder, or Section 4.07(a), in each case, in a manner that otherwise
complies with this Section 4.07.
(f) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated
restriction on Restricted Payments, the U.S. dollar equivalent of a Restricted Payment
-94-
denominated in another currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, first
commits to such Restricted Payment.
Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause or suffer to exist or become effective or enter into
any encumbrance or restriction (other than pursuant to this Indenture or any law, rule, regulation
or order) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital
Interests to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or pay any Debt owed to
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary; or
(3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary.
(b) However, the preceding provisions shall not prohibit the following
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(1) any encumbrance or restriction in existence on the Issue Date,
including those under the Credit Agreement, the Bridge Facilities and the Existing Notes,
and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that the amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements
or refinancings, in the good faith judgment of the Company and conclusively evidenced
by an Officer’s Certificate, are no more restrictive in any material respect, taken as a
whole, with respect to such dividend or other payment restrictions than those contained in
these agreements on the Issue Date or refinancings thereof;
(2) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to an
acquired property in existence at the time of such acquisition pursuant to an agreement,
so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to the
property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of or in connection
with the acquisition thereof);
(3) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a
Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges or amalgamates with or into a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on or after the Issue Date, which is in existence at
the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with
or in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not
-95-
applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or
the property or assets of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;
(4) any encumbrance or restriction under the terms of Refinancing
Debt Incurred to renew, refund, replace, refinance or extend any agreement containing
any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (3), so
long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Debt are no
less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the encumbrances and
restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded,
replaced, refinanced, or extended, in the good faith judgment of the Company and
conclusively evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate;
(5) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any
lease, contract, or license of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any rights
thereunder;
(6) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule,
regulation or order;
(7) any encumbrance or restriction under the Notes Documents;
(8) any encumbrance or restriction under a contract for the sale or
other disposition of assets or Capital Interests, including, without limitation, any
agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary, that restricts distributions of
the applicable assets or Capital Interests to be issued or sold, or of any assets of a
Subsidiary to be sold, pending such sale or other disposition;
(9) restrictions on cash and other deposits or net worth imposed by
customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(10) customary provisions and/or restrictions with respect to the

leaseback agreements and other similar agreements;
(11) any restriction with respect to the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets) imposed by customary provisions in Hedging
Obligations or Swap Contracts, in each case, not entered into for speculative purposes;
(12) Purchase Money Debt and Capital Lease Obligations permitted
under this Indenture for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose
restrictions on that property so acquired of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(3);
(13) Liens securing Debt otherwise permitted to be Incurred under this
Indenture, including Section 4.12; and
-96-
(14) any other agreement governing Debt entered into after the Issue
Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive
with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with
respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 4.08 shall prevent the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary from (i) creating, Incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Liens
otherwise permitted by Section 4.12 or (ii) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or
assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Debt of the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred in accordance with Section 4.09 and Section 4.12.
Section 4.09 Incurrence of Debt.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to Incur any Debt (including Acquired Debt); provided, that the Company and any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if, immediately after
giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the receipt and application of the proceeds
therefrom:
(1) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a Pro Forma Basis, including as if any such
Debt (including any other Debt being Incurred contemporaneously), and any other Debt
Incurred since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period had been Incurred and the
proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, and any
other Debt repaid since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period had been repaid at the
beginning of the Four Quarter Period, would be greater than 2.00 to 1.00; and
(2) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of such Debt,
provided that, the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Debt that may
be Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09(a) by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors
shall not exceed the greater of (x) $295 million and (y) 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets (in
each case, determined on the date of such Incurrence).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.09(a), the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Debt.
(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09:
(1) in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the
types of Debt described in Section 4.09(a) or (b), including categories of Permitted Debt, the
Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, all or any
portion of such item of Debt in any manner that complies with Section 4.09 and shall only be
required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses under Section 4.09
or the definition of “Permitted Debt” hereunder; provided that Debt Incurred under the Credit
-97-
Facilities on October 21, 2015 and still outstanding shall at all times be treated as Incurred
pursuant to clause (1)(x) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” hereunder;
(2) Debt permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by
reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such
provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 (including categories
of Permitted Debt) permitting such Debt; and
(3) Guarantees of, or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting,
Debt that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Debt shall not be
included.
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount
and the payment of interest on Debt in the form of additional Debt or payment of dividends on
Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will
not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.09.
For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt
denominated in another currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in
the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt is Incurred as Refinancing Debt to
refinance Debt denominated in another currency, and such refinancing would cause the
applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
Refinancing Debt does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced, plus
(ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, defeasance costs, premiums and other
costs and expenses Incurred in connection with such refinancing. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Debt that the Company may Incur pursuant
to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the
exchange rate of currencies.
Section 4.10 Asset Sales.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value
(such Fair Market Value to be determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such
Asset Sale) of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;
(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or
Eligible Cash Equivalents; and
-98-
(3) to the extent that any consideration received by the Company (or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) in any such Asset Sale of Collateral
constitutes property or other assets that are of a type or class that constitutes Collateral,
such property or other assets are added to the Collateral securing the Notes in the manner
and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents with the
Lien on such Collateral securing the Notes being of the same priority with respect to the
Notes as the Lien on the property or assets disposed of in the Asset Sale.
(b) For the purposes of Section 4.10(a)(2) above, each of the following will be
deemed to be cash:
(1) any liabilities (as shown on the most recent consolidated balance
sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the
transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary assignment and assumption
agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;
(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the transferee that are converted by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of their receipt to the
extent of the cash received in that conversion;
(3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market
Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received
pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.0% of
Consolidated Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash
Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash
Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to
subsequent changes in value); and
(4) any Investment, stock, asset, property or capital expenditure of the
kind referred to in clauses (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 4.10(c).
(c) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset
Sale (the “Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period”), the Company or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Cash Proceeds, at its option:
(1) (A) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase any First Priority
Obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and cause such Debt to be
permanently retired and the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an
amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or repurchased;
provided, however, that (x) to the extent the terms of such First Priority Obligations
(other than Additional Notes) require Net Cash Proceeds to repay obligations outstanding
under such First Priority Obligations prior to the repayment of other First Priority
-99-
Obligations, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be entitled to repay such
obligations without an obligation to offer to repay obligations under the Notes in an
equivalent amount and (y) except as provided in the foregoing clause (x), to the extent the
Company or such Guarantor so reduces any other First Priority Obligations, the Company
shall offer to purchase an equal and ratable amount of the Notes as provided under
Article 3 by making an Offer to Purchase (in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 4.10(d)) to all Holders of Notes to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of
purchase (and, in the case of revolving loans, to correspondingly reduce commitments
with respect thereto);
(B) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase outstanding Obligations under
the Bridge Facilities; or
(C) solely to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are not derived from
an Asset Sale of Collateral, to reduce Obligations ranking pari passu in right of
payment with the Notes (other than First Priority Obligations); provided, that to
the extent the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary so reduces any
such pari passu Obligations, the Company shall equally and ratably offer to repay
obligations under the Notes outstanding in the manner set forth in clause (A)
above;
(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital
Interests of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of
Capital Interests, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company; provided that, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are derived from an Asset
Sale of Collateral, such assets or Capital Interests, as applicable, shall be added to the
Collateral securing the Notes to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the
Collateral Documents;
(3) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful (as
determined in the good faith judgment of the Company) in a Permitted Business or to
make expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and
assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under
IFRS and that are used or useful (as determined in the good faith judgment of the
Company) in a Permitted Business; provided that, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds
are derived from an Asset Sale of Collateral, such assets shall be added to the Collateral
securing the Notes to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral
Documents; or
(5) any combination of the foregoing,
provided that, in the case of clause (3) of this Section 4.10(c), a binding
commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of
-100-
such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such
commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to
satisfy such commitment within 180 days of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period (an
“Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Cash Proceeds are actually applied in such manner
within the later of 365 days from the consummation of the Asset Sale and 180 days from the date
of the Acceptable Commitment, and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled
or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith,
then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds to the extent the Asset Sale
Proceeds Application Period has expired.
(d) Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested
as provided in Section 4.10(c) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (x) $60 million and (y) 1.0% of Consolidated Total
Assets, the Company will, within 30 days after the expiry of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application
Period, make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders of Notes (on a pro rata basis to each series of
Notes), and if required by the terms of any other First Priority Obligations containing
comparable repurchase rights, to purchase or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other First Priority Obligations that may be purchased out of the amount of such Excess
Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase of Notes will be equal to 100% of the
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of
purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an
Offer to Purchase, the Company may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited
by this Indenture and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes and other First Priority Obligations tendered into such Offer to Purchase
exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the trustee or agent
for the other First Priority Obligations will select the First Priority Obligations to be purchased
on a pro rata basis among each series. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount
of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
(e) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 4.10, such Net Cash Proceeds may be applied temporarily to reduce Debt outstanding
under a revolving credit facility or may otherwise be invested in any manner not prohibited by
this Indenture.
(f) The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder,
including Canadian Securities Laws, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in
connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture,
the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed
to have complied with its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.10 by virtue of such
compliance with the applicable securities laws and regulations.
(g) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.10, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and
3.06.
-101-
Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, 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 (or series of related transactions), contract, agreement, loan,
advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $5 million (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate
Transaction”), unless:
(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less
favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that could reasonably
have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction by the Company or such
Subsidiary with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and
(2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20 million, the
Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the
Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in
an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1)
above.

(4) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted
Subsidiaries;
(5) any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date and
any amendment or modification thereto so long as such amendment or modification is no

Subsidiary;
(7) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of
Section 5.01;
(8) any transaction with a joint venture, partnership, limited liability
company or other entity (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that would constitute an
Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an
equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity;
(9) transactions with customers, distributors, clients, suppliers or
purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business
and on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Company, than those
that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not
an Affiliate of the Company;

cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements,
equity purchase agreements, stock options, long term incentive plans and stock

liabilities and refunds generated by each such party and (ii) payments by any Parent
Entity, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any tax sharing
agreements among such Parent Entity, the Company and any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries on customary terms that require each party to make payments when taxes are

generated by each such party calculated on a separate return basis, and payments to the
party generating tax benefits and credits of amounts equal to the value of such tax
benefits and credits made available to the party making the payments; and
(13) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a nationally recognized
investment bank or accounting or appraisal firm stating substantially to the effect that
such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial
point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable
-103-
transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an
arm’s length basis.
Section 4.12 Liens.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
create, Incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any
kind (other than Permitted Liens) (each, an “Initial Lien”) that secures obligations under any
Debt or any related guarantee, on any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter
acquired, unless:
(1) in the case of Initial Liens securing Collateral, such Initial Lien is a Permitted
Lien, or
(2) in the case of Initial Liens on any asset or property that is not Collateral, (i) the
Notes (or a Note Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor) are equally and
ratably secured, with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures
any Subordinated Obligations) the obligations secured by such Initial Lien until
such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien or (ii) such Initial
Lien is a Permitted Lien.
Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section
4.12 shall provide by its terms that such Lien be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.
With respect to any Lien securing Debt that was permitted to secure such Debt at
the time of the Incurrence of such Debt, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased
Amount of such Debt. The “Increased Amount” of any Debt shall mean any increase in the
amount of such Debt in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value,
the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt
with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases
in the amount of Debt outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of
currencies or increases in the value of property securing Debt.
Section 4.13 Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (1) its corporate existence and the
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (2) the
material rights, licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole; and provided, further, that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are
-104-
organized in a jurisdiction in Canada (including a jurisdiction in any province, territory or
political subdivision thereof) shall be permitted to change the jurisdiction of its existence to
another jurisdiction in Canada or the United States (including a jurisdiction in any state,
province, territory or political subdivision thereof).
Section 4.14 Change of Control.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an
Offer to Purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the
principal amount tendered, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but not including, the
Purchase Date; provided that if the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes
pursuant to Section 3.07 prior to the time the Company would be required to make an Offer to
Purchase, the Company shall not be required to make such Offer to Purchase.
(b) For purposes of this Section 4.14, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to
have been made if (i) within 60 days following the date of the consummation of a transaction or
series of transactions that constitutes a Change of Control, the Company commences an Offer to
Purchase for all outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all Notes properly tendered
pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase.
(c) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations, including Canadian
Securities Laws, in connection with any repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14.
To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Indenture by
virtue of such compliance with the applicable securities laws and regulations.
(d) The Company will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a
Change of Control if (i) a third party makes such Offer to Purchase contemporaneously with or
upon a Change of Control in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and such third party purchases all Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase or (ii) a notice of redemption has been
given pursuant to Section 3.07.
(e) If Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an Offer to Purchase and the
Company, or any other Person making an Offer to Purchase in lieu of the Company pursuant to
this Section 4.14, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders,
then the Company or such Person will have the right, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60
days’ prior notice; provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such
purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14, to redeem all Notes that
remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of such Notes, plus, to the extent not already included, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding to, but not including, the redemption date
-105-
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on
an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
(f) An Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control,
conditional upon the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place
for the Change of Control at the time of launching the Offer to Purchase.
(g) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and
3.06.
Section 4.15 Additional Note Guarantees.
(a) After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (other than any Restricted Subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” as
defined under Section 957 of the Code) that (1) is a borrower under any Credit Facility or (2)
Guarantees any Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred under any
Credit Facility to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the
form of Exhibit D attached to this Indenture (or such other documents or instruments in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) (subject to the limitations in Article 10 hereto) and
execute joinders to Collateral Documents or new Collateral Documents and take all actions
required thereunder to perfect the liens created thereunder; provided that, for the duration of any
period during which no such Credit Facilities exist, the Company will cause a sufficient number
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to Guarantee the Notes such that (i) each Non-Guarantor Subsidiary
comprises no more than 5% of (x) Consolidated Total Assets or (y) Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA and (ii) all Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries comprise, in the aggregate, no more than 10%
of (x) Consolidated Total Assets or (y) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.
(b) Each Note Guarantee will state that it will be limited to an amount not to

rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable
law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally.
(c) Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.07.

(2) prior to and after giving effect to the Attributable Debt in respect
of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary

Section 4.18 Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
(a) After the Issue Date, the Company may designate any Subsidiary of the
Company to be an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” as provided in this Section 4.18, in which event
such Subsidiary and each other Person that is then or thereafter becomes a Subsidiary of such
Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
(b) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary of
the Company (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or a Person becoming a
Subsidiary through merger, amalgamation, consolidation, arrangement or Investment therein) to
be an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date only if:
(1) neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries:
(A) provides credit support for, or Guarantee of, any Debt of
such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary (including any undertaking,
agreement or instrument evidencing such Debt);
(B) is directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of such
Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary; or
(C) has any obligation to maintain or preserve such
Subsidiary’s financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve any
specified levels of operating results, including by way of subscription for
additional Capital Interests of such Subsidiary; and such Subsidiary does not own
-107-
any Capital Interests of, or own or hold any Lien on any property of, any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and
(2) either:
(A) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $2
million or less; or
(B) the Company could make a Restricted Payment at the time
of designation in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or net
book value of such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.07 (and such amount is
thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment for the purpose of calculating the
amount available for Restricted Payments thereunder).
(c) Any such designation by the Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee
by filing with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with
the foregoing conditions.
(d) The Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that, immediately after giving effect to such
designation, (i) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section
4.09(a) on a Pro Forma Basis taking into account such designation, and (ii) the Company could
Incur the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section
4.12.
(e) Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary from pledging the Capital Interests of any Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as such
transaction otherwise complies with the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 4.19 Covenant Suspension on Investment Grade Rating.
(a) During any period of time (a “Suspension Period”) that:
(1) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both of the Rating
Agencies; and
(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being
collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10, 4.11, 4.16 and 5.01(a)(3) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
(b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not
subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes for any Suspension Period and,
subsequently, (i) either one or both Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or downgrades the
rating assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Rating or (ii) the Company or
-108-
any of its affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change
of Control and either one or both Rating Agencies indicate that, if consummated, such
transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would
cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings
assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, and such event in clause (i) or (ii)
occurs prior to the Satisfaction of the Notes (such date of withdrawal or downgrade in clause (i)
or (ii), a “Reinstatement Date”), then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will, after the
Reinstatement Date, again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events
for the benefit of the Notes (unless and until a Suspension Event again exists) until the
Satisfaction of the Notes.
(c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension
Period shall be classified as having been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or, at the
Company’s option, one of the clauses set forth in the definition of “Permitted Debt” hereunder
(to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement
Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on
the Reinstatement Date), and subject to Section 4.09. To the extent such Debt would not be so
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or (b), such Debt shall be deemed to have
been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (4) of the
definition of “Permitted Debt” hereunder.
(d) Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to
be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 shall be made as though Section 4.07 had
been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly,
Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be
made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) to the extent provided therein.
(e) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no
Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply
with the Suspended Covenants during a Suspension Period (or on the Reinstatement Date or after
a Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).
(f) During a Suspension Period, but prior to the repayment, repurchase,
retirement or redemption of all of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or defeasance or
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture (collectively, the “Satisfaction of the Notes”), the
Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries
pursuant to this Indenture unless the Company could have designated such Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture assuming the Suspended Covenants
had not been suspended.
(g) The Company will provide prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
Covenant Suspension Event and any Reinstatement Date. The Trustee is not required under this
Indenture to monitor the ratings of the Notes or to give notice to the Holders of the occurrence of
any Covenant Suspension Event or any Reinstatement Date.

Section 4.20 Amendments of Collateral Documents.
(a) The Company shall not amend, modify or supplement, or permit or

with Articles 9 and 12.
Section 4.21 After-Acquired Property.
(a) From and after the Issue Date, upon the acquisition by the Company or
any Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property, the Company or such Guarantor shall execute
and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements,
certificates and opinions of counsel as shall be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a
perfected security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such After-Acquired Property and
to have such After-Acquired Property (but subject to certain limitations, if applicable, including
as described under Article 12) added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this
Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to
the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided, however, so long as the Credit
Facilities are then outstanding, the Company and the Guarantors will not be required to take
actions to perfect the liens of the Collateral Agent in certain of the After-Acquired Property if
such actions are not requested by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent with
respect to such After-Acquired Property; provided further, however, that if granting such first
priority security interest in such After-Acquired Property requires the consent of a third party,
the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to the
first priority interest for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes; provided further, however, that if such third party does not consent to the
granting of such first priority security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable
efforts, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will not be required to provide such
security interest.
Section 4.22 Post-Closing Covenant.
(a) Within 15 days after the Issue Date, the Company will cause the Specified
Guarantors to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form
of Exhibit D attached to this Indenture (or such other documents or instruments in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) (subject to the limitations in Article 10 hereto).
(b) Within 30 days after the Issue Date, the Company will cause the Specified
Guarantors to execute joinders to Collateral Documents or new Collateral Documents, including

Guarantors to take all actions required thereunder or under applicable law to perfect the liens
-110-
created under the Collateral Documents with respect to the Guarantors in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents.
(e) Within 45 days of after the Issue Date, the Company and each Restricted
Subsidiary, as applicable, will cause the Collateral Agent to be added as an additional insured or
loss payee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 12.12.

-115-
(b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an
Event of Default described in clause (5) of Section 6.01(a) has occurred and is continuing, the
declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if:
(1) the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) of
Section 6.01(a) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after
the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto; and
(2) (A) the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would
not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by
the Trustee for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest due on the Notes
and (B) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any,
or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes,
have been cured or waived.
Section 6.02 Acceleration.
(a) If an Event of Default (other an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or
(8) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
written notice to the Company, specifying the Event of Default, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the written request of such Holders shall, declare the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due
and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately.
(b) If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01(a)
occurs with respect to the Company and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued and paid interest, if any, on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the
Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the
Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or
any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall
not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.
All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
-116-
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default or Event
of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a Default or Event of Default:
(1) in any payment in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to
an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Company), or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note
affected,
each of which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall require the consent of all the
Holders of the Notes outstanding.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy
available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, the Notes or any Note
Guarantee, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines in good faith is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee and the Collateral Agent has not
been offered an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect
to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event
of Default is continuing;
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes have requested in writing that the Trustee pursue the remedy;
-117-
(3) such Holders have offered and if requested, agreed to provide, the Trustee
with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability
or expense;
(4) the Trustee has not complied with such written request made hereunder
within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of, and, if requested, the agreement
to provide security or indemnity; and
(5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the reasonable opinion
of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have an
affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any actions or forbearances by a Holder are unduly
prejudicial to other Holders.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on its Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (including in connection with an
Offer to Purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company and any other obligor on the Notes, including the Guarantors, for the whole
amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes,
together with interest, if any, on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest, if any, and
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents
and counsel.
Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding has been instituted.
-118-
Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.
Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given
by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
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 the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes, including the Guarantors), its creditors or its
property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of
creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the bankruptcy estate in any such proceeding,
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, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding 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 the Notes or the rights
of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding.
-119-
Section 6.13 Priorities.
Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral
Documents, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay
out the money in the following order:
(1) to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.07, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
(2) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, respectively; and
(3) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall
direct, including a Guarantor, if applicable.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.13. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Trustee
shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Company and to each
Holder in the manner set forth in Section 13.01.
Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs.
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 a Trustee, a court in its
discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the
costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not
apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
ARTICLE 7
TRUSTEE
Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall

certificates or opinions which by any provision 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 mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein).
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent

by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in

hereof.
(d) Subject to this Article 7, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,

its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties

-121-
believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(h) 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.
Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.
(a) In the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to the
Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine
whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

Company, except as otherwise set forth herein, but the Trustee may require of the Company full
information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements
contained herein.
(h) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this
Indenture shall not be construed as a duty.
-122-
(i) Except for an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(a)(1) or (2) hereof, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or
shall have received from the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. In the absence of any such
notice or actual knowledge, and except for a default under Sections 6.01(a)(1) or (2) hereof, the
Trustee may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default exists.
(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including the Collateral Agent.

actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be updated and delivered to the Trustee
at any time by the Company in its discretion.
Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like
rights. However, in the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of any
conflicting interest at the time a Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Trustee must
eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign, unless such Default or Event of Default has
been cured or waived prior to such 90th day. The Trustee must also comply with Section 7.10.
-123-
Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s
use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the
Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or
in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Note, the
Note Guarantees or this Indenture or any related documents, any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, agent, successor or assign of the
Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iii) any holder of equity in the Trustee.
Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.
If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder a notice of the Default within
30 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2)
of Section 6.01(a), the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default
if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Holders. Notice to Holders under this Section 7.05 shall be given in the manner and to the extent
provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c) (whether or not applicable by law).
Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.
(a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders reports concerning the Trustee and
its actions under this Indenture. The interval between transmission of reports to be transmitted at
intervals shall be 12 months. Such report shall be due on March 1 of each year following the
first issuance of Notes.
(b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to
Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Notes are listed, with
the Commission and with the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting therefrom.
Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.
(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be
agreed to in writing from time to time by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent upon request for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the documented and reasonable compensation and
-124-
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall (in
relation to any Guarantor, subject to the limitations in Article 10 hereto) indemnify the Trustee,
its agents, representatives, officers, directors, employees and attorneys against any and all loss,
liability, damage, claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Guarantor, a Holder or any other
person) or expense (including documented and reasonable compensation and expenses and
disbursements of the Trustee’s counsel) incurred by it in connection with the administration of
this trust or agency and the performance of its duties or in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure
by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of
its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such delay increases the liability of the
Company or a Guarantor. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Trustee or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, may have separate counsel of its selection and the Company
shall pay the documented and reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
such fees and expenses if the Company assumes such defense unless there is a conflict of interest
between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense as determined by Trustee
or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in consultation with counsel. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability,
damage, claim or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s
or the Collateral Agent’s own bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence.
(b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, other than money or property
held in trust or as agent to pay principal of and interest, if any, on particular Notes.
(c) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(7) or (8) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.
Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice of such
resignation to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the
Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company
shall remove the Trustee if:
(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
-125-
(2) Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(3) a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(4) Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
(b) If the Trustee resigns or has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee.
Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for
any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may remove the successor Trustee to replace it with another successor
Trustee appointed by the Company.
(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment
to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its
succession to Holders, and include in the notice its name and address of its Corporate Trust
Office. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.
(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10%
in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Notes may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes.
(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section,
the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee.
Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger.
(a) If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if
such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible
under this Indenture, be the successor Trustee.
(b) In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation 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
-126-
certificate of authentication of any 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 may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the
name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full
force which the Notes provide or this Indenture provides that the certificate of the Trustee shall
have.
Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. Neither the
Company, a Guarantor nor any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with the Company or a Guarantor may serve as Trustee.
Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.
The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) (whether or not
applicable by law), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act
Section 311(a) (whether or not applicable by law) to the extent indicated therein.
Section 7.12 Collateral Documents; Intercreditor Agreement.
By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the
Trustee and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor
Agreement and any other Collateral Documents in which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, is named as a party, including any Collateral Documents or Intercreditor Agreements
executed after the Issue Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so,
the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations
attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of
such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any
purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing
from) any action under, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Documents, the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and
other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it
under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, the
Company may elect, at its option, to have its obligations discharged with respect to the
outstanding Notes (“Legal Defeasance”).
(b) For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding

satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes, this Indenture and the other Notes
Documents, including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive payments in respect of the
principal of and any premium and interest on such Notes when payments are due;
(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes concerning issuing
temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the
maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in
trust or as agent;
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee;
(4) the Company’s right of optional redemption pursuant to Section 3.07; and
(5) this Section 8.01.
(c) Following the Company’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option,
payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.
(d) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 8.01 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 8.02.
Section 8.02 Covenant Defeasance.
(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, the
Company may elect, at its option, to be released from its obligations under the covenants
contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 4.20
and 4.21 and clause (5) of Section 5.01(a), including, without limitation, its obligation to make
Offers to Purchase in connection with Asset Sales and any Change of Control and any omission
-128-
to comply with such obligation shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect
to the Notes, and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations
with respect to all Note Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.03
are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to
be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes
shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).
(b) For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to this
Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by
reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise of the option under
this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, Sections
6.01(a)(3), 6.01(a)(4) (only with respect to the failure of the Company to comply with clause (3)
of Section 5.01(a) and with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6), 6.01(a)(7) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or
a group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(a)(8) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) and 6.01(a)(9), in each case, shall not constitute Events of Default.

such Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or (if the Company has made irrevocable

case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be
effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to United States federal income
tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if
such deposit, defeasance and discharge were not to occur;
(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such outstanding

manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and covenant
defeasance were not to occur;
(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a ruling received from the
Canada Revenue Agency or an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
and qualified to practice law in Canada, in each case to the effect that Holders and
beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
applicable Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income tax or other tax purposes as a
result of such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, and will only be
subject to applicable Canadian federal, provincial and territorial income tax and other
taxes on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, had not
occurred;
(5) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall
have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto

(6) in the event that this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act,
such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Notes are
in default within the meaning of such Act);
(7) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a

the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect
of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
(b) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 8.03(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited
to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Section 8.05 Repayment to the Company.
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust and as agent for the payment
of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 8.06 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, as the case may be, by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations
under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01 or
Section 8.02, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations,
-131-
the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

GUARANTEES
Section 10.01 Guarantee.
(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a first lien senior secured basis, to each
Holder and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective
of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the other Notes Documents or the
obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and
interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders,
the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes or the other Notes Documents
shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with
the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment by the Company 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. The Company hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees the Guarantee of
each Guarantor on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) 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
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, 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 diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
-136-
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee
shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes
and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.07.
(c) Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and
all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the
Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.
(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return
to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, examiner, trustee, liquidator or other similar
official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect.
(e) 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,
(1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6
for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event
of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for
the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of
the Holders under the Note Guarantees.
(f) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or
reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the
Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant
to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by
any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,”
“fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been
made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
-137-
(h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee
shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
Section 10.02 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 Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute
a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal,
Canadian, provincial or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate
the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount
as 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 10, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance
or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note
Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Note Guarantees under this Indenture to a
contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata
portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of
such payment determined in accordance with IFRS. The obligations of each Guarantor are
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.15.
Section 10.03 Luxembourg Provisions.
(a) Each of the Luxembourg Domiciled Grantors hereby expressly accepts
and confirms, for the purposes of articles 1278 and 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code, that,
notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation permitted under, and made in
accordance with the provisions of, this Indenture, any security interest in the Collateral pursuant
to the Collateral Documents, the Notes Guarantee given under this Indenture shall be preserved
for the benefit of any new Trustee.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt and for the purpose of Luxembourg law only,
the Note Guarantee of a Luxembourg Domiciled Grantor constitutes an independent guarantee
and does not constitute a suretyship (cautionnement) in the sense of article 2011 et seq. of the
Luxembourg civil code.
Section 10.04 Execution and Delivery.
(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor
hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Authorized
Officer or person holding an equivalent title.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the
endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.
-138-
(c) If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Note Guarantees shall be
valid nevertheless.
(d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on
behalf of the Guarantors.
(e) If required by Section 4.15, the Company shall cause any newly created or
acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 and this Article 10,
to the extent applicable.
Section 10.05 Subrogation.
Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company
in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01;
provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be
entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of
subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the
Notes shall have been paid in full.
Section 10.06 Benefits Acknowledged.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers
made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 10.07 Release of Note Guarantees.
(a) A Note Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company,
the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note
Guarantee, upon:
(1) (A) a sale or other transfer or disposition (including by way of merger,
consolidation, arrangement or amalgamation) of all of the Capital Interests in any
Guarantor to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company in compliance with the
terms of this Indenture;

Section 10.08 Luxembourg Guaranty Limitation.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the payment
obligation of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg
Guarantor”) under Article 10 of this Indenture for the Note Guarantee shall be limited at any
time, with no double counting, to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of:
(1) ninety-five per cent (95%) of the sum of the Luxembourg
Guarantor's own funds (capitaux propres) (as referred to in Annex I to the grand-ducal
regulation dated December 18, 2015 setting out the form and content of the presentation
of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, enforcing the Luxembourg act dated
December 19, 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and
annual accounts of undertakings, as amended) (the “Own Funds”) and the Luxembourg
Guarantor's debt which is subordinated in right of payment (whether generally or
specifically) to any claim of any beneficiary or any noteholder under this Indenture, as
determined in good faith by the Company (the “Own Debt”), as at the date of this
Indenture; and
-140-
(2) ninety-five per cent (95%) of the sum of the Own Funds and the
Own Debts, as on the date of payment of the Note Guarantee under this clause.
The above limitation shall not apply to any proceeds from the Notes made
available, in any form whatsoever, to the Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its (current or future)
direct or indirect subsidiaries; provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, the above
limitation shall not apply to any Collateral Document or any recoveries derived from the
enforcement of a Holder’s rights under any Luxembourg Pledge Agreement.
Section 10.09 Jersey Guaranty Waivers.
(a) Each Jersey Domiciled Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives
and abandons any and all rights or entitlement which it has or may have under the existing or
future laws of Jersey, whether by virtue of the customary law rights of droit de discussion or
otherwise, to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other Guarantor or other person
before any claim is enforced against it in respect of its obligations under this Indenture.
(b) Each Jersey Domiciled Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives
and abandons any and all rights or entitlement which it has or may have under the existing or
future laws of Jersey, whether by virtue of the customary law right of droit de division or
otherwise, to require that any liability under the Note Guarantee contained herein be divided or
apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner.
Section 10.10 Swiss Guaranty Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the obligations of a
Guarantor incorporated in Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) and the rights of the Trustee under
this Indenture are subject to the following limitations:
(a) If and to the extent the obligations assumed or the security interest granted
by the Swiss Guarantor under this Indenture guarantees or secures obligations of its (direct or
indirect) parent company (upstream security) or its sister companies (cross-stream security) (the
“Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations”) and if and to the extent payments under this
Indenture or using the proceeds from the enforcement of such security interest to discharge the
Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations would constitute a repayment of capital
(Einlagerückgewähr/Kapitalrückzahlung), a violation of the legally protected reserves
(gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend
(Gewinnausschüttung) under Swiss corporate law, the payments under this Indenture shall be
limited to the maximum amount of the Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable shareholder equity at
the time it becomes liable in accordance with Swiss law (the “Maximum Amount”); provided
that such limitation is required under the applicable law at that time; provided, further, that such
limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Maximum
Amount, but merely postpone the performance date of those obligations until such time or times
as performance is again permitted under then applicable law. This Maximum Amount of freely
disposable shareholder equity shall be determined in accordance with Swiss law and applicable
Swiss accounting principles, and, if and to the extent required by applicable Swiss law, shall be
-141-
confirmed by the auditors of the Swiss Guarantor on the basis of an interim audited balance sheet
as of that time.
(b) In respect of Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations, at the time it
is required to make a payment under this Indenture, the Swiss Guarantor shall, if and to the
extent required by applicable law (including tax treaties) in force at the relevant time:
(1) procure that such payments or enforcement proceeds can be used
to discharge Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations without deduction of Swiss
Withholding Tax by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to
applicable law rather than payment of the tax;
(2) if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above
does not apply, deduct the Swiss Withholding Tax at such rate (currently 35% at the date
of this Indenture) as is in force from time to time from any such enforcement proceeds
used to discharge Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations; or deduct Swiss
withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by
notification if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not
apply, and pay, without delay, any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax
Administration;
(3) promptly give written notification to the Trustee that such
notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Trustee
with an Officer’s Certificate accompanied with evidence that such a notification of the
Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes
deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(4) in the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, use its best
efforts to ensure that any person, which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss
Withholding Tax deducted from such enforcement proceeds, will, as soon as possible
after such deduction,
(i) request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable
law (including tax treaties), and
(ii) pay to the Trustee upon receipt any amount so refunded.
(c) To the extent the Swiss Guarantor is required to deduct Swiss Withholding
Tax pursuant to this Indenture, and if the Maximum Amount is not fully utilised, the Swiss
Guarantor will be required to pay an additional amount so that after making any required
deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax the aggregate net amount paid to the Trustee is equal to the
amount which would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax had been
required, provided that the aggregate amount paid (including the additional amount) shall in any
event be limited to the Maximum Amount. If a refund is made to a beneficiary, such beneficiary
shall transfer the refund so received to the Swiss Guarantor, subject to any right of set-off of such
beneficiary pursuant to this Indenture.
-142-
(d) The Swiss Guarantor and any holding company of the Swiss Guarantor
which is a party to this Indenture shall procure that the Swiss Guarantor will promptly take and
promptly cause to be taken all and any action as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event
within 30 Business Days from the request of the Trustee, including, without limitation, the
following:
(1) the passing of any shareholders' resolutions to approve the
payment or other performance under this Indenture or the use of the enforcement
proceeds, which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time
of the enforcement of this Indenture or the security interest in order to allow a prompt use
of the enforcement proceeds;
(2) preparation of up-to-date audited balance sheet of the Swiss
Guarantor;
(3) confirmation of the auditors of the Swiss Guarantor that the
relevant amount represents the Maximum Amount;
(4) conversion of restricted reserves into profits and reserves freely
available for the distribution as dividends (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss
law);
(5) revaluation of hidden reserves (to the extent permitted by
mandatory Swiss law);
(6) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Swiss accounting
standards and this Indenture, (i) write-up or realize any of its assets that are shown in its
balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the
assets, in case of realization, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss
Guarantor's business (nicht betriebsnotwendig), and (ii) reduce its share capital to the
minimum allowed under then applicable law, provided that such steps are permitted this
Indenture; and
(7) all such other measures necessary or useful to allow the Swiss
Guarantor to use enforcement proceeds as agreed hereunder with a minimum of
limitations.
Section 10.11 Irish Guaranty Limitation.
The Note Guarantee does not apply to any liability of any Irish Domiciled Grantor
incorporated in Ireland to the extent that it would be prohibited by Section 239 of the Companies
Xxx 0000 or would result in the Note Guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within
the meaning of Section 82 of the Companies Xxx 0000.
-143-
Section 10.12 Swedish Guaranty Limitation.
In relation to any Swedish Guarantor, its obligations and liabilities under this
Indenture shall be limited if required by the mandatory provisions of the Swedish Companies Act
in force from time to time regulating unlawful distribution of assets and transfer of value
(Chapter 17, Sections 1-4), and it is understood that the obligations and liabilities of any Swedish
Guarantor under this Indenture only apply to the extent permitted by the above mentioned
provisions of the Swedish Companies Act.
Section 10.13 Dutch Guaranty Limitation.

assistance within the meaning of Section 2:98(c) of the Dutch Civil Code.

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.
(a) The Company and the Guarantors may terminate their respective
obligations under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, and this Indenture and the
Collateral Documents will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, (a “Discharge”) when:
(1) either: (A) all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable or (ii) will
become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one
year under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the
Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
immediately available funds or U.S. Government Obligations in an amount sufficient to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes, not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the
Stated Maturity or redemption date;
(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due
and payable under this Indenture by the Company;

default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a
party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;
(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee
under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at
maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be; and

Section 11.02 and Section 8.05 shall survive.
Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and as agent and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
(b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.

by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under
this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 12
COLLATERAL
Section 12.01 Collateral Documents. The due and punctual payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes
when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity,
by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the
Company and the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes and
the other Notes Documents, according to the terms thereunder, shall be secured as provided in
the Collateral Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the First Priority Note
Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustee and the Company
hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust and, for the
purposes of Swedish and Swiss law, as agent for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and
pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Each
Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents
(including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral
-145-
and the creation of the Parallel Obligation in this Article 12) and the Intercreditor Agreement as
the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms
and this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, and authorizes and directs the Collateral
Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to perform its
obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Company shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the
Collateral Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be
reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 12.01, to assure and confirm to the
Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral
Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same
available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby,
according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Company shall, and shall cause the
Guarantors to, take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of UCC or PPSA
financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto (or analogous procedures
under the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction of the applicable Grantor)) required to cause
the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company
and the Guarantors to the First Priority Notes Secured Parties under the Notes Documents, a
valid and enforceable perfected (to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) Lien and
security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement and the Collateral Documents), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Holders and the Trustee subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.
Section 12.02 Creation of Parallel Debt.
(a) For the purposes of (a) creating Liens on Collateral in, or subject to the
laws of, The Netherlands and Switzerland (and such other jurisdictions as the Trustee (on the
instructions of the Holders) and the Company (each acting reasonably) agree) (together, the
“Agreed Jurisdictions”) and (b) ensuring the initial and continued validity of such Liens, the
Collateral Agent, the Company and the Guarantors, other than any Swedish Guarantor (each, a
“Non-Swedish Obligor”), agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement:
(1) each Non-Swedish Obligor shall pay to the Collateral Agent, as
creditor in its own right and not as representative of the Trustee or the Holders, sums
equal to, and in the currency of, its Principal Obligations (as defined in Section 12.02(b))
as and when the same fall due for payment under this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral
Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Parallel Obligations”); provided that the
total amount of the Parallel Obligations shall never exceed the total amount of the
Principal Obligations;
(2) the rights of the Trustee and the Holders, as applicable, to receive
payment of the Principal Obligations are several and are separate from, and without
prejudice to, the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment in respect of the
Parallel Obligations;
-146-
(3) the Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right, in its
own name and stead, to demand payment of the Parallel Obligations by each Non-
Swedish Obligor upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an unremedied and
unwaived Event of Default;
(4) the payment by any Non-Swedish Obligor of its Parallel
Obligations to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 12.02 (whether
through direct payment by such Non-Swedish Obligor or any Lien held by the Collateral
Agent securing the Parallel Obligations) shall be a good discharge in the corresponding
amount of the corresponding Principal Obligations and, similarly, the payment by the
Company or any Guarantor of the Principal Obligations shall be a good discharge in the
corresponding amount of the corresponding Parallel Obligations owed to the Collateral
Agent under this Section 12.02, in each case provided that the receiving party is able to
retain the relevant payment so made;
(5) the increase of the Principal Obligations of the Company or any
Guarantor shall result in the increase of a corresponding amount of the corresponding
Parallel Obligations to the Collateral Agent under this Section 12.02;
(6) a Non-Swedish Obligor’s Parallel Obligation is independent from,
and without prejudice to, its Principal Obligations, and shall be deemed to constitute a
single obligation of that Non-Swedish Obligor to the Collateral Agent (even though that
Non-Swedish Obligor may owe more than one Principal Obligation to the Trustee or any
Holder under this Indenture) and an independent and separate claim of the Collateral
Agent to receive payment of that Parallel Obligation (in its capacity as the independent
and separate creditor under that Parallel Obligation and not as co-creditor in respect of
the Principal Obligations); and
(7) nothing in this Section 12.02 shall in any way limit the Collateral
Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of, the rights under, or to enforce
any, Collateral Document as contemplated by this Indenture or the relevant Collateral
Document.
Despite the foregoing, any payment on the Parallel Obligations by a Non-Swedish Obligor shall
be made to or to the order of the Trustee, unless the Trustee directs such Non-Swedish Obligor in
writing to make such payment to the Collateral Agent.
Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Company and the
Guarantors (whether under this Section 12.02 or under any other provision of this Indenture, the
Notes, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the following
paragraph), the Collateral Agent agrees with the Trustee and each Holder (on a several basis) that
it will not exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations except with the consent of the
Trustee or such Holder, as applicable.
Nothing in this Section 12.02 shall in any way negate or affect the obligations which each of the
Company and the Guarantors has to the Trustee and the Holders under this Indenture. For the
-147-
purpose of this Section 12.02, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself
and not as agent or representative of any other party hereto or as trustee and the security over the
Collateral granted under this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Obligations is granted to the Collateral
Agent in its capacity as creditor in respect of the Parallel Obligations (or to do any act reasonably
incidental to any of the foregoing).
(b) For the purposes of this Section 12.02, “Principal Obligations” means, in
respect of each Agreed Jurisdiction and in relation to each Non-Swedish Obligor, any sums
owing by it or the Company to the Trustee or any Holder under or in connection with this
Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents.
Section 12.03 Release of Collateral.
(a) Subject to Sections 12.03(b), (c) and (d) hereof, the Liens securing the
Notes will be automatically released, and the Trustee (subject to its receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as provided below) shall execute documents evidencing such
release, or instruct the Collateral Agent to execute, as applicable, the same at the Company’s sole
cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances:
(i) in whole upon:
(A) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued
and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on, the Notes
and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Note Guarantees and
the Collateral Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time
such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid;
(B) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth
under Article 11; or
(C) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this
Indenture as set forth under Article 8;
(ii) in whole or in part, with the consent of Holders of the Notes in
accordance with Article 9 of this Indenture;
(iii) in part, as to any asset constituting Collateral:
(A) that is sold or otherwise disposed of:
(I) by any Grantor to any Person that is not a Grantor
organized in the same jurisdiction in a transaction permitted under
Section 4.10 (provided that in the event of a transfer of assets from
a Grantor to another Grantor organized in a different jurisdiction,
the Trustee shall release, or instruct the Collateral Agent to release,
such Lien if such transferee Grantor takes all actions reasonably
-148-
necessary to xxxxx x Xxxx in such transferred assets to the Collateral
Agent (to the extent required by this Indenture and the Collateral
Documents)),
(II) to the extent that such Collateral is released or no
longer required to be pledged pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Facility Documents then in effect (other than in connection with
the repayment in full of the First Priority Credit Obligations), or
(III) in connection with the taking of an enforcement
action by the Applicable Authorized Representative in respect of
the First Priority Credit Obligations in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement,
(B) that is owned or at any time acquired by a Guarantor that
has been released from its Note Guarantee, concurrently with the release
of such Note Guarantee,
(C) that becomes Excluded Property, or
(D) that is otherwise released in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement,
but subject to any restrictions thereon set forth in this Indenture or the
Intercreditor Agreement;
(b) With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, to such
release have been met and that it is proper for the Trustee or Collateral Agent to execute and
deliver the documents requested by the Company in connection with such release, and any
necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the
Company, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent to, execute, deliver or
acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release
and discharge of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the
Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral
Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral
Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and
deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it
receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.
(c) At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the
Trustee has delivered notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral
-149-
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents shall be effective as
against the Holders, except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Note Document (other than release of security at the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section
9.02(b)), the release of any perfected Lien (or Lien purported to be perfected) over assets subject
to any Swedish Security Agreement will at all times be subject to the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent (in its sole discretion), unless the assets to be released are disposed of at Fair
Market Value and the proceeds are paid directly to the Collateral Agent towards discharge of the
First Priority Notes Obligations (or are paid by the recipient into a blocked account held with the
Collateral Agent). The Trustee and each of the Holders authorize the Collateral Agent to release
such Swedish Transaction Security in accordance with this Section 12.03(d).
Section 12.04 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of
Article 7 hereof and the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee,
without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may or may direct the Collateral
Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:
(a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and
(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the
Obligations hereunder.
Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and
proceedings as the Trustee may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any
acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture,
and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests
and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.04 shall be
considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent.
Section 12.05 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the
Collateral Documents. Subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the
Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such
funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 12.06 Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good
faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of
the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of
any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the
application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any
purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be
under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or the applicable
Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.
-150-
Section 12.07 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the
Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers
conferred in this Article 12 upon the Company or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or
other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an
instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar
instrument of the Company or a Guarantor or of any Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession
of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the
Trustee.
Section 12.08 Release Upon Termination of the Company’s Obligations. In
the event that the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i)
payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and
all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the other Notes Documents that are due
and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are
paid or (ii) the Company shall have exercised its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant
Defeasance option, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Article 8, and an Opinion
of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such notice by
the Trustee have been satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company and the Collateral
Agent a notice, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, stating that the Trustee,
on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral
(other than with respect to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Article 8), and any rights it has
under the Collateral Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the
Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and
shall do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Company) all acts reasonably requested by the
Company to release and discharge such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.
Section 12.09 Collateral Agent.
(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby
designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Collateral
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the Trustee and each of the Holders by
acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and each
Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The
Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.09.
The provisions of this Section 12.09 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of
the Trustee, any of the Holders nor any of the Grantors shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section
12.04. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the
provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be
-151-
authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature,
and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Notes Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall
the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the
Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference
to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. The Collateral Agent shall not owe any
fiduciary duties to any party to this agreement or any of their directors, employees, agents or
affiliates.
(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture,
the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement by or through receivers, agents,
employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates,
and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such
Person and its Affiliates, (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be
fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any
receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such
selection was made in good faith.
(c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall
(i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection
with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own negligence or
willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own negligence or willful
misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any
recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any
other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Authorized Officer or Related Person thereof,
contained in this Indenture, or any other Notes Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in
connection with, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Collateral
Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to
this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective
Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
-152-
of, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the
properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or
conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any other
Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral
Agent. The Collateral Agent 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. The Collateral
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the
Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the
Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the
Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
of the Holders.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of the Collateral Agent
shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.09).
(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and
the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its
appointment as Collateral Agent. Additionally, the Company may remove the Collateral Agent
if the Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting, such removal to be effective
upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral
Agent resigns or is removed under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor
collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date
of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation or
removal), the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Trustee, subject to the
consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be
required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor
collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding
sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the
-153-
notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers
and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall
mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s
appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the Collateral
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.09 (and Section 7.07)
shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall not by
reason of such resignation or removal be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.
(g) The Trustee shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized
to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly
provided herein or in the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, neither the
Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other
Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral
or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for
amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the
Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(h) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the
Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter
into the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the
Collateral Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set
forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and (v) perform and observe
its obligations under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.
(i) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment,
foreclosure, realization, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with
respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such
proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be
paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the
Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same
to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.
(j) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting
the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of
any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral
Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise
deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.
-154-
(k) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or
any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for,
protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property
constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral
Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the
genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or
in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreement other than
pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents, it being understood
and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the
Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as
to any of the foregoing.
(l) If the Company or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of
First Priority Obligations at any time when no Intercreditor Agreement is in effect or at any time
when Debt constituting First Priority Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing
Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an
Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor
agreement (on substantially the same terms as the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a
designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Priority Obligations so incurred,
the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor
agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company, including reasonable and documented
legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein
and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.
(m) If the Company or any Guarantor incurs any obligations in respect of
Junior Priority Debt and delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and
requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on terms that are
customary for such financings as determined by the Company in good faith reflecting the
subordination of such Liens to the Liens secured by Notes and Note Guarantees) in favor of a
designated agent or representative for the holders of the Junior Priority Debt so incurred, the
Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor
agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company, including reasonable and documented
legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein
and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.
(n) No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any
Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder
or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at
the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it
shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and
-155-
liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents, in
the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or
otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect
or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the
Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result
of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous
substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an
amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the
Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to
cease taking any action described in this paragraph (n) if it no longer reasonably deems any
indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.
(o) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral
Documents or any other instruments referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of
the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable
for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with
the Company (and money held in trust or, for purposes of Swedish and Swiss law, as agent, by
the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel
as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in
respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral
Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.
(p) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Company may elect
to replace the Collateral Agent under such circumstances pursuant to Section 12.09(f).
(q) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or
delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any other Grantor under this Indenture,
the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report,
statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent
under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral
Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the
Intercreditor Agreement and any Collateral Documents of any other party thereto (other than the
Collateral Agent); the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or
-156-
existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent,
perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any
Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business,
creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its
Obligations under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents.
The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or
inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by
any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral
Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the
Intercreditor Agreement and any Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be
required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this
Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth
hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.
(r) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the
Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities,
claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines,
settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs
(including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial
action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or
property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law
as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any
actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto, unless such liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits,
losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including
foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any
remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations
and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal)
of any kind whatsoever are the result of the Collateral Agent’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in
the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral
Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the
security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the
Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the
management of such Collateral.
(s) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the
Company signed by one Authorized Officer of the Company (a “Collateral Document Order”),
the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter
into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be
executed after the Issue Date. Such Collateral Document Order shall (i) state that it is being
delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Collateral Document Order referred to in,
this Section 12.09(s), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such
Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and
expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the
-157-
Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby
authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.
(t) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral
Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents to
which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in
accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have
no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents and
shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction
without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.
(u) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it is
continuing, the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or
permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.
(v) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of
itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the
Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 hereof and the other provisions of this Indenture.
(w) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, in each case that the
Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Document to take any
action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents,
to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder
or under any other Notes Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent
shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance
with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if the Collateral Agent
shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the
Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other
Notes Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have
any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or
maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the
other Notes Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC or
PPSA financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments (or analogous
procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction), nor shall the Collateral Agent
or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any
-158-
representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral
Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.
(y) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the
request or direction of the Company or the Guarantors, it may require an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 13.04. The
Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral
Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee solely with respect to
the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.
(aa) The Company shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and
indemnify the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.07.
Section 12.10 Designations. For purposes of the provisions hereof and the
Intercreditor Agreement requiring the Company to designate Debt for the purposes of the term
“First Priority Obligations,” “Future First Lien Debt,” “Junior Priority Debt” or any other such
designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement, any such designation shall be
sufficient if the relevant designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Company by
an Authorized Officer and delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured
Credit Facilities Collateral Agent.
Section 12.11 No Impairment of the Security Interests. Except as otherwise
permitted under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Notes Documents,
neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or
knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially
impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes.
Section 12.12 Insurance. The Company shall maintain insurance, and cause
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain insurance, with financially sound and reputable
insurers (naming the Collateral Agent as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable), with
respect to such of its properties, against such risks, casualties and contingencies and in such
types and amounts as are consistent with sound business practice, it being understood that this
Section 12.12 shall not prevent the use of deductible or excess loss insurance and shall not
prevent (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from acting as a self-insurer or maintaining
insurance with another Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company so long as such action is
consistent with sound business practice or (ii) the Company from obtaining and owning
insurance policies covering activities of its Subsidiaries.

the County and City of New York. The Company and each Guarantor irrevocably and
unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
the Borough of Manhattan in the County and City of New York over any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees and for

action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Company and each Guarantor and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction the
Company is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment. The Company and each Guarantor
further agrees that nothing herein shall affect any Holder’s right to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law or bring a suit action or proceeding (including a proceeding

law.
Section 13.17 Waiver of Immunity.
To the extent that each of the Company and the Guarantors, or any of their
respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have
attributed to each of the Company and the Guarantors, any right of immunity, on the grounds of
sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief
in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of
any Canadian, New York state or U.S. federal court, from service of process, from attachment
upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of
judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement
of any judgment, in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with
respect to the obligations and liabilities of each of the Company and the Guarantors or any other
matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, each of the Company and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives or will waive such right to the extent
permitted by applicable law, and agree not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consent to
such relief and enforcement.
Section 13.18 Conversion of Currency.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a
sum due under this Indenture to the Holder from U.S. dollars to another currency, the Company
and each Guarantor has agreed, and each Holder by holding such Note will be deemed to have
agreed, to the fullest extent that the Company, each Guarantor and they may effectively do so,
that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures such Holder could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in New York City,
New York on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
The Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations to any Holder will, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars, be discharged
only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Holder or the Trustee, as
the case may be, of any amount in such Judgment Currency, such Holder may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the U.S. dollars so purchased is less than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder or the
Trustee in the Judgment Currency (as determined in the manner set forth in the preceding
paragraph), as the case may be, each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Holder
and the Trustee, as the case may be, against any such loss. If the amount of the U.S. dollars so
-165-
purchased is more than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder or the Trustee, as the
case may be, such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, will pay the Company and the
Guarantors, such excess; provided that such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not
have any obligation to pay any such excess if the Company or the Guarantors shall have failed to
pay any Holder or the Trustee any amounts then due and payable under such Note or this
Indenture, in which case such excess shall be applied by such Holder or the Trustee to satisfy (to
the extent thereof) such Obligations.
Section 13.19 Accounting Provisions.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or
financial nature shall be construed in accordance with IFRS, as in effect from time to time;
provided that, in the event that any Accounting Change occurs and such change results in a
change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms, as determined in
good faith by the Company, then, upon the written notice of the Company to the Trustee, such
financial covenants, standards or terms shall be calculated on the same basis as calculated prior
to giving effect to such Accounting Change and as if such Accounting Change had not occurred.
Any such election with respect to such Accounting Change may not thereafter be changed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above or in the definition of Capital
Lease Obligations, in the event of a change under IFRS (or the application thereof) requiring all
leases to be capitalized, only those leases that would result or would have resulted in Capital
Lease Obligations on the Issue Date (assuming for purposes hereof that they were in existence on
the Issue Date) shall be considered Capital Lease Obligations and all calculations and
deliverables under the Indenture shall be made in accordance therewith.
Section 13.20 Intercreditor Agreement.
Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance
of a Note, (a) consents to the priority of Liens and payments provided for in the Intercreditor
Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into
the Intercreditor Agreement as the Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Holder, including
without limitation, making the representations of the Holders contained therein, and including
any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto providing for, inter alia, substantially the
same rights, priorities and obligations referred to in the Intercreditor Agreement and covering
any other matters incidental thereto. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to
the lenders under the Credit Agreement to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party
beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

of the Obligations of the Grantors, each Grantor hereby undertakes to pledge and pledges to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under
(whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than property, rights, securities and other assets that may
only be secured under collateral documentation governed by the rights of Luxembourg):

such Grantor and, in each case, the certificates, if any, representing all such Equity Interests (the

xxx directors’ qualifying shares, nominee shares or similar shares which are required by
law to be held by persons other than such Grantor, such qualifying shares, nominee
shares or similar shares held by persons other than such Grantor,
(D) any Equity Interests of any person (other than a wholly-owned Subsidi-
ary that is a Restricted Subsidiary), to the extent (x) restricted or not permitted by the
terms of such person’s organizational documents or other agreements with holders of
such Equity Interests existing as of the date hereof or on the date of acquisition by a
Grantor of such Equity Interests or (y) such pledge would trigger a termination pursuant
to any “change of control” or other similar provision of such person’s organizational
documents or other agreements with holders of such Equity Interests existing as of the
date hereof or on the date of acquisition by a Grantor of such Equity Interests (in each
case, other than to the extent that any such prohibition would be rendered ineffective pur-
suant to applicable anti-assignment provisions of the New York UCC or any other appli-
cable law); provided that such Equity Interests shall cease to be Excluded Equity Interests
at such time as such prohibition ceases to be in effect to the extent such Equity Interest is
an Excluded Equity Interest as a result of such prohibition,

Equity Interests hereunder is prohibited or restricted by any applicable law, including any
requirement to obtain consent or approval of any Governmental Authority (other than to

assignment provisions of the New York UCC or any other applicable law); provided that
such Equity Interests shall cease to be Excluded Equity Interests at such time as such

entities identified in writing at any time by the Issuer to the Collateral Agent and not-for-
profit Subsidiaries, and
(I) any Equity Interests that the Issuer and the Senior Secured Credit Facili-
ties Collateral Agent shall have reasonably determined in good faith in writing to treat as
Excluded Equity Interests for purposes hereof on account of the cost, difficulty, burden or
consequences of pledging such Equity Interests hereunder being excessive in relation to
the practical benefit to the Secured Parties of the security to be afforded thereby (any Eq-
uity Interests excluded pursuant to any of clauses (A) through (I) above, an “Excluded
Equity Interest”),

pursuant to this Agreement),
(d) subject to Section 2.05 hereof, all rights and privileges of such Grantor with re-
spect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, and

Debt Securities and other property referred to in this clause (e) and in clauses (c) and (d) above
being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”),

the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent any such Pledged Debt Se-
curity is a demand note, each Grantor party thereto agrees, if requested by the Collateral Agent, to imme-
diately demand payment thereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of de-
fault thereunder unless such demand would not be commercially reasonable or would otherwise expose

Pledged Collateral, which supplement shall be attached hereto as a supplement to Schedule I (such sup-
plement may take the form of an amendment and restatement to Schedule I hereto) and made a part here-
of; provided that failure to attach any such schedule or supplement hereto shall not affect the validity of

have occurred and be continuing, in its own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as
sub-agent). If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor will promptly

sual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any pur-
pose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Notes Documents;

any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or
other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise and (B) any non-cash
dividends and other non-cash distributions or payments paid or payable in respect of any Pledged
Equity Securities that would constitute Pledged Equity Securities in connection with a partial or
total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid
in surplus, shall be and become part of the Pledged Equity Securities, as applicable, and, if re-
ceived by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or
property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the

pal or other distributions or payments. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions or payments

the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral
Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other proper-
ty and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof. After all Events of De-
fault have been cured or waived, and the Issuer has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Re-
sponsible Officer to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor, without inter-
est, all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions or payments that such Grantor would otherwise

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and
from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (including fixture filings)

rity Interest in the Article 9 Collateral granted under this Agreement, including describing such property

-16-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
reasonably necessary for the purpose of reflecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, and nam-
ing any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no Grantor shall be required to take any action under the laws of any ju-
risdiction other than the United States and Canada (or any political subdivision thereof) and their respec-
tive territories and possessions, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Jersey, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Swe-
den and Switzerland for the purpose of perfecting the Security Interest in any Article 9 Collateral of such

Debt for borrowed money that are promptly deposited into an investment or securities account, (3) checks
received in the ordinary course of business and (4) promissory notes and instruments evidencing Debt
issued in connection with the extension of trade credit by the Grantor of a security interest, (D) delivery

expressly required by this Agreement or the Indenture or as set forth in any local law security agreement,
(ii) other than as set forth in the other Notes Documents, no actions shall be required in order to create
any security interest in assets located or titled outside of the United States or make enforceable any such
security interest; (iii) no security shall be taken or perfected over movable plant and equipment to the ex-
tent requiring any labeling or segregation of such plant or equipment; and (iv) no security shall be taken

terest granted by each Grantor existing under the laws of Canada or any Province or Territory thereof
shall only secure its own Obligations and not the Obligations of any other Grantor.

ment, without the consent or approval of any other person other than any consent or approval that
-17-

Indenture.
(b) The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements containing a description of
the Article 9 Collateral that have been prepared for filing in the office specified in Schedule III

cept with respect to Intellectual Property) that are, as of the Issue Date, necessary to publish no-
xxxx of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in
favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9

ment or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its ter-
ritories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law in
such jurisdictions and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in
which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of the Intellectual Prop-
erty Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other
Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral other than (i) Liens permitted by Section 4.12 of the Inden-

and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

(h) As to itself and its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (the
“Intellectual Property Collateral”), to each Grantor’s actual knowledge:
(i) Schedule II sets forth the Intellectual Property Collateral consisting of
the Patents that are issued or the subject of a pending application and the Trademarks and
Copyrights that are registered or the subject of a pending application, in each case, in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or the
equivalents thereof in any other country or jurisdiction, and, in each case, owned by such
Grantor as of the date hereof.
(ii) The Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in such Intellectual Property
Collateral are subsisting and, solely with respect to the issued Patents and registered
Trademarks and registered Copyrights included therein, have not been adjudged invalid
or unenforceable in whole or part (except for office actions issued in the ordinary course
by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office in any foreign ju-
risdiction), and are valid and enforceable, in each case except as would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Grantor does not have knowledge of
any uses of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral that would be expected to lead to
such item becoming invalid or unenforceable, except as would not reasonably be ex-
pected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) Such Grantor has made or performed in the ordinary course of such
Grantor’s business, acts, including without limitation filings, recordings and payment of
fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and every Patent,
Trademark and Copyright set forth on Schedule II in full force and effect and such Gran-
tor has used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each Patent, Trademark
and Copyright in such Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case, except to the extent
that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Ef-
fect.
(iv) With respect to each IP Agreement the absence, termination or violation
of which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Mate-
rial Adverse Effect: each such IP Agreement is subsisting, valid and enforceable against
the counterparty and is in full force and effect subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, in-
solvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affect-
ing creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied
covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
(v) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, no Grantor or Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any outstanding con-
sent, settlement, decree, order, injunction, judgment or ruling restricting the use of any
Intellectual Property Collateral or that would impair the validity or enforceability of such
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(i) Schedule VI sets forth a true and complete list of all Deposit Accounts, Securities
Accounts and Commodity Accounts maintained by the Grantors, including the name of each in-
stitution where each such account is held, the name of each such account, the name of each entity
that holds each account and to the extent any such account is an Excluded Account, stating the
reason such account is an Excluded Account.
-19-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
(j) Such Grantor is not a beneficiary or assignee under any letter of credit, other than
the letters of credit described in Schedule VII hereto and additional letters of credit as to which
such Grantor has complied with the requirements of Section 3.04(d).
Section 3.03 Covenants.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to provide written notice to the Collateral Agent within 30
days after any change in (i) its corporate or organization name, (ii) its identity or type of organization or
corporate structure, (iii) its organizational identification number (or equivalent), (iv) jurisdiction of for-
mation or (v) chief executive office. Each Grantor agrees promptly to provide the Collateral Agent with
certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the immediately preceding
sentence. Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the first sentence of this
paragraph unless all filings have been made, or will have been made within any applicable statutory peri-
od, that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to
have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all Collateral with the priority required under the
Notes Documents for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties.
(b) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, (i) to duly file (and in furtherance of
this obligation is authorized to file) all financing statements and continuation statements and other in-
struments and (ii) to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments
and documents and take all such further actions as may be necessary or as the Collateral Agent may from
time to time reasonably request to preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and
remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the ex-
ecution and delivery of this Agreement and the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any fi-
nancing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If
any and all amounts payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral (other than
amounts that in the aggregate for such Grantor do not exceed $5,000,000) shall be or become evidenced
by any promissory note or other instrument evidencing Debt for borrowed money, then, such note or in-
strument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, after the occur-
rence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right
to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status
of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9
Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person pos-
sessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall
have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Par-
ty.
(d) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, at its option after
the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent may, but is
not obligated to, discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other
encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not constituting a Permitted
Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Gran-
tor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally
agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable
expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.03(d) shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or
imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants
-20-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests
or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Notes Documents.
(e) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain
liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and per-
formed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral.
(f) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, each Grantor ir-
revocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees, agents or
sub-agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-
fact) for the purpose, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the
name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the Proceeds of such
policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event
that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance re-
quired under the Indenture, the Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or
any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance (including by
paying premiums with respect thereto) and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral
Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this
Section 3.03(f), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating
thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby.
Section 3.04 Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority
of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral
Agent’s Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s
own expense, to take the following actions:
(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement
and Section 5.17 hereof, except with respect to Excluded Instruments, if any Grantor shall at any
time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than checks received and processed in the ordinary
course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $5,000,000,
such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accom-
panied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Investment Property. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17
hereof, except with respect to any Excluded Equity Interests and Excluded Instruments, if any
Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated Security constituting Pledged Collateral
or Article 9 Collateral, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the
Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in
blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify and in accordance with
Section 2.02 hereof. Each Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Equity Securities are
at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Grantor shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 here-
of, (i) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Equity Securities,
cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute
any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge
and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Equity Securities under the terms
-21-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
hereof, (ii) upon request by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent, provide to the
Collateral Agent an opinion of counsel, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
confirming such pledge and perfection thereof, and (iii) after the occurrence and during the con-
tinuance of any Event of Default, upon request by the Collateral Agent, (A) cause the Organiza-
tional Documents of each such issuer that is a Subsidiary of such Grantor to be amended to pro-
vide that such Pledged Equity Securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the UCC
and (B) cause such Pledged Equity Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Collat-
eral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(c) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a
Commercial Tort Claim with a value estimated in good faith by the Issuer to be in excess of
$5,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly (but no later than 10 business Days after it first holds or
acquires such Commercial Tort Claim) notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by
such Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Collateral Agent in
writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all under the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent.
(d) Letter of Credit Rights. With respect to any Letter of Credit Rights of any Gran-
tor relating to any Letter of Credit with a face amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to provide the Collateral
Agent a first priority perfected security interest in any such Letter of Credit Rights.
(e) Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to en-
ter into and cause the applicable bank to enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with
the Collateral Agent with respect to each Deposit Account listed in Schedule VI hereof (other
than any Excluded Accounts). The Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in
each such Deposit Account subject only to Permitted Liens, which security interest is perfected
by Control. No Grantor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Deposit Account (other than an
Excluded Account) unless (1) it shall have given the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of its
intention to establish such new Deposit Account with a bank and (2) such Grantor shall use com-
mercially reasonable efforts to cause such bank to promptly (and in any event within thirty (30)
days of establishing such Deposit Account) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Deposit
Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent agrees
with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposi-
tion of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal
rights from such Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Grantor agrees that once the
Collateral Agent sends an instruction or notice to a bank exercising its Control over any Deposit
Account such Grantor shall not give any instructions or orders with respect to such Deposit Ac-
count including, without limitation, instructions for distribution or transfer of any funds in such
Deposit Account. No Grantor shall grant Control of any Deposit Account to any person other
than the Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent unless other-
wise permitted under the Indenture.
(f) Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts. Each Grantor shall use commer-
cially reasonable efforts to enter into and cause the applicable Securities Intermediary or Com-
modity Intermediary to enter into a Control Agreement with the Collateral Agent with respect to
each Securities Account or Commodity Account listed in Schedule VI hereto (other than Exclud-
ed Accounts). The Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in each such Secu-
-22-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
rities Account and Commodity Account, which security interest is perfected by Control subject
only to Permitted Liens. No Grantor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Ac-
count or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary un-
less (1) it shall have given the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of its intention to establish
such new Securities Account or Commodity Account with such Securities Intermediary or Com-
modity Intermediary and (2) such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, to promptly (and in any
event within thirty (30) days of establishing such Securities Account or Commodity Account) du-
ly execute and deliver a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodi-
ty Account, as the case may be. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral
Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertif-
icated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Grantor, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and with-
drawal rights, would occur. Each Grantor agrees that once the Collateral Agent sends an instruc-
tion or notice to a Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary exercising its Control over
any Securities Account and Commodity Account such Grantor shall not give any instructions or
orders with respect to such Securities Account and Commodity Account including, without limi-
tation, instructions for investment, distribution or transfer of any Investment Property or financial
asset maintained in such Securities Account or Commodity Account. No Grantor shall grant
Control over any Investment Property to any person other than the Collateral Agent and the Sen-
ior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent unless otherwise permitted under the Indenture.

(and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to contractually prohibit its licensees from do-
ing any act or omitting to do any act, provided that no Grantor shall be obligated to amend any
agreement existing as of the date hereof) whereby any issued Patent that is material to the normal
conduct of such Grantor’s business would become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or
dedicated to the public (except, in each case, to the extent such action or inaction is deemed ad-
visable in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment and except that nothing in this Sec-
tion 3.05 shall prohibit such Grantor from asserting such Patent against any other person).
(b) Each Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to contractu-
ally require its licensees and its sublicensees (provided that no Grantor shall be obligated to
amend any agreement existing as of the date hereof to so require) to, for each material registered
Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business, use commercially rea-
sonable efforts to (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of aban-
donment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under
such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal or foreign registration or
claim of trademark or service xxxx as required under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use,
or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of, such Trademark in violation of any third party rights,

in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment.
-23-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
(c) Each Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
licensees and its sublicensees (provided that no Grantor shall be obligated to amend any agree-
ment existing as of the date hereof to so cause) to, for each material Copyright necessary to the
normal conduct of such Grantor’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use a copy-
right notice as necessary to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.
(d) Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it has received written
notice, other than regular reports with respect to Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights received in
the ordinary course of business, that any issued Patent, registered Trademark or registered Copy-
right material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business may imminently become aban-
doned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, in the case of such Patent or Copyright, prior to the end
of its statutory term under applicable law, or of any materially adverse determination or develop-
ment, excluding office actions and similar determinations or developments in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of
any country, regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Cop-
yright or its right to register or to maintain the same.
(e) Subject to Section 3.01(d)(ii), each Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
employee, or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis of each applica-
tion by itself, or through any agent, employee, or designee, for any Patent with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any Trademark or Copyright with the Unit-
ed States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office filed during the pre-
ceding twelve-month period, and (ii) promptly thereafter execute and deliver and file with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office an IP Agreement
with respect thereto and execute and deliver any and all other agreements, instruments, docu-
ments and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral
Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark, or Copyright; provided that so long as the
Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent is the Applicable Authorized Representative (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) at the time the Grantor informs the Collateral Agent of
any application pursuant to clause (i), the Grantor will only be required to execute and deliver and
file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office an IP
Agreement with respect to such application pursuant to clause (ii) if the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities Collateral Agent has requested that the Grantor make such a filing pursuant to the Cred-
it Agreement Security Agreement.
(f) Each Grantor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment in any proceeding
before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any
comparable office or agency in any other country or jurisdiction with respect to (i) maintaining
and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining
the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of the such Grantor’s business,
and (ii) maintaining any registration or issuance of each Patent, Trademark, and Copyright that is
material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business, including, when applicable and neces-
sary in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Gran-
tor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and
cancellation proceedings against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor receives written notice that any Article 9 Collateral
consisting of a Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Trade Secret material to the normal conduct of its
business has been materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor
-24-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
shall, if such Grantor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly take ac-
tions to stop such infringement, misappropriation or dilution and protect its rights in such Patent,
Trademark, Copyright, or Trade Secret, including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for in-
junctive relief and to recover damages, in each case, to the extent it deems reasonably appropriate
under the circumstances.
(h) Each Grantor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment in protecting the
secrecy of all Trade Secrets owned by such Grantor that are material to the normal conduct of
such Grantor’s business, including, without limitation, if such Grantor deems it necessary in its
reasonable business judgment, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and con-
sultants and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents.
ARTICLE IV.
REMEDIES
Section 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on xx-
xxxx, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable law, the Inter-
creditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, to take any of or all the following actions at the same or dif-
ferent times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to
cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Arti-
cle 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or, for the purpose of enabling the
Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under
Section 4.01 hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights
and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, an irrevoca-
ble (but solely during the continuance of an Event of Default), non-exclusive world-wide license (exercis-
able without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trade-
marks, to any quality standards and quality control practices in effect by each applicable Grantor, with
respect to its Trademarks and sufficient to avoid the risk of invalidation or dilution of such Trademarks, to
use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or
created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located; provided, that such license shall include ac-
cess to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer pro-
grams used for the compilation or printout hereof; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent shall retain
the confidentiality of any Trade Secrets licensed under this Section 4.01 consistent with the practices in
effect by each applicable Grantor, with respect to its confidential information, immediately prior to such
Event of Default; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any subsequent cure
of an Event of Default, any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors until the termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 5.15; and (b) to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to the appli-
cable Grantor to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking posses-
sion of, removing or selling the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a se-
cured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and in furtherance of
the foregoing, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the purpose of enabling the Collat-
eral Agent to exercise rights and remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable
license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all
real property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor. Without limit-
ing the generality of the foregoing rights and remedies, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall
have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law (including the Uniform Commer-
-25-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
cial Code), to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at
any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Col-
lateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any
sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective
bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their
own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation
of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such pur-
chaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of
any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have
under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the Issuer and each applicable Grantor not less than ten
(10) Business Days’ prior written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the mean-
ing of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral
Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the
time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall
state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or por-
tion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at
such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may
fix and state in the notice of such sale. The Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold at any such sale
may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or
more agents and contractors, upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor and the Col-
lateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the In-
ventory to be sold with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collat-
eral Agent or such agent or contractor), all as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discre-
tion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.
The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the
same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such
sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In
the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or pur-
chasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such
Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or,
to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 4.01, any Secured Party may
bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or
appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent
permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account
thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit
against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold,
retain and dispose of such property in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof without further accountability
to any Grantor therefor. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell
the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having compe-
tent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the pro-
visions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as pro-
vided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or
any other intercreditor agreement to which the Collateral Agent is party in respect of the Obligations,
promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any
Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order of priority: first to amounts owing to the Collateral
Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to amounts owing to the
Trustee in its capacity as such in accordance with the Indenture; second to the payment in full of the Ob-
ligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with
the respective amount of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and third
after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses first through second, subject to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement, any other intercreditor agreement to which the Collateral Agent is party in
respect of the Obligations or any other Collateral Document, to the Issuer or as the Issuer shall direct.
(b) If any payment to any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 4.02 of its pro rata
share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall
instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Obligations of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured
Party whose Obligations have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Obligations of such Secured Party and the
denominator of which is the unpaid Obligations of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.
(c) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Collateral
Agent for the account of such Secured Parties or as the Collateral Agent may otherwise direct in accord-
ance with the Notes Documents.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Subject to the other limitations (if any) set forth herein and in the other Notes
Documents, it is understood that the Grantors shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between
the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations of the Grantors.
(f) It is understood and agreed by each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall have
no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 4.02 except to the extent that any of the fore-
going are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have result-
ed from its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Grantor also agrees that the Col-
lateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability
resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in
accordance with the requirements hereof and of the Intercreditor Agreement (or any other intercreditor
agreement to which the Collateral Agent is party in respect of the Obligations), and the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.
Section 4.03 Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the
Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the
Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted anal-
ogous in purpose or effect (such Securities Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect
being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral
permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might
very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to
dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner
in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there
may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all
-27-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws
analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions
and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a
sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part
thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or
other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect
such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other
terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the
event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantial-
ly higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if
more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.03 will apply notwith-
standing the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed
substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.
Section 4.04 Limitation of Enforcement Proceeds. If, and to the extent, the Collateral created
by a Grantor incorporated in Switzerland (the “Swiss Grantor”) under this Agreement is enforced for
obligations of any Grantor (other than the wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Swiss Gran-
tor) (the “Restricted Obligations”) and the use of the proceeds of such enforcement would constitute a
repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich ges-
chützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by the Swiss Gran-
tor or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, the use of the proceeds
of such enforcement shall not exceed the amount of the Swiss Grantor’s freely disposable equity in ac-
cordance with Swiss law (the “Freely Disposable Amount”). This limitation shall only apply to the ex-
tent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time of enforcement. Such limitation shall not free the
Swiss Grantor from its obligations in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the
performance date thereof until such times as performance is again permitted under then applicable law.
The Freely Disposable Amount of shareholder equity shall be determined in accordance with Swiss law
and applicable Swiss accounting principles, and, if and to the extent required by applicable Swiss law,
shall be confirmed by the auditors of the Swiss Grantor on the basis of an interim audited balance sheet as
of that time..
The Swiss Grantor shall, and any holding company of the Swiss Grantor which is a party
to a Notes Document shall procure that such Swiss Grantor will take and cause to be taken any action as
soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 30 Business Days from the request of the Collat-
eral Agent, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) the passing of any shareholders' resolutions to approve the payment or other per-
formance under this Agreement or any other Notes Document or the use of the enforcement proceeds,
which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time of the enforcement of this
Agreement or any other Notes Document or the security interest in order to allow a prompt use of the en-
forcement proceeds;
(b) preparation of up-to-date audited balance sheet of the Swiss Grantor;
(c) confirmation of the auditors of the Swiss Grantor that the relevant amount repre-
sents the Freely Disposable Amount;
-28-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
(d) conversion of restricted reserves into profits and reserves freely available for the
distribution as dividends (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law);
(e) revaluation of hidden reserves (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law);
(f) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Swiss accounting standards and this
Agreement or any other Notes Document, (i) write-up or realize any of its assets that are shown in its bal-
ance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of real-
ization, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Grantor's business (nicht be-
triebsnotwendig), and (ii) reduce its share capital to the minimum allowed under then applicable law, pro-
vided that such steps are permitted under this Agreement and the Notes Documents; and
(g) all such other measures reasonably necessary or useful to allow the Swiss Gran-
tor to use enforcement proceeds as agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations.
In respect of Restricted Obligations, at the time of enforcement under this Agreement or
any other Notes Document, the Swiss Grantor shall, if and to the extent required by applicable law (in-
cluding tax treaties) in force at the relevant time:
(a) procure that proceeds of any enforcement can be used to discharge Restricted
Obligations without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax by discharging the liability to such tax by noti-
fication pursuant to applicable law rather than payment of the tax;
(b) if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above does not apply,
deduct the Swiss Withholding Tax at such rate (currently 35% at the date of this Agreement) as is in force
from time to time from any such enforcement proceeds used to discharge Restricted Obligations; or de-
duct Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by notification
if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above does not apply, and pay, without delay,
any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;
(c) promptly give written notification to the Collateral Agent that such notification
or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Collateral Agent with evidence that
such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such
taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(d) in the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, use its best efforts to ensure
that any person, which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from
such enforcement proceeds, will, as soon as possible after such deduction,
(i) request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law (in-
cluding tax treaties), and
(ii) pay to the Collateral Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.
To the extent the Swiss Grantor is required to deduct Swiss Withholding Tax pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Notes Document, and if the Freely Disposable Amount is not fully utilized,
the Swiss Grantor will be required to pay, directly or by way of use of the proceeds of enforcement, an
additional amount so that after making any required deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax the aggregate
net amount paid to the Collateral Agent, directly or by way of use of the proceeds of enforcement, is
equal to the amount which would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax had been re-
quired, provided that the aggregate amount paid (including the additional amount) shall in any event be
-29-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
limited to the Freely Disposable Amount. If a refund is made to a Secured Party, such Secured Party shall
transfer the refund so received to the Swiss Grantor, subject to any right of set-off of such Secured Party
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Notes Document.

tions to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect

-32-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Notes Documents, or for recogni-
tion or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditional-
ly agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such
New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding re-
lating to this Agreement or any of the other Notes Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that
each of the Grantors agrees that (i) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than
New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be
inconvenient and inappropriate), and (ii) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Grantor in
any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative
relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Grantor from asserting or
seeking the same in the New York Courts.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Notes Documents in any New York State or federal court (other than with respect to actions by the Col-
lateral Agent in respect of rights under this Agreement governed by laws other than the laws of the State
of New York or with respect to any Collateral subject thereto). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevo-
cably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the mainte-
xxxxx of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that service of
process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by delivering by registered or certified mail (or
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, a copy of such process to the
applicable party at its address provided in accordance with Section 13.01 of the Indenture.
(d) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that the Collateral
Agent retains the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring proceedings
against any Grantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights
under this Agreement or the enforcement of any judgment. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor
hereby agrees that service of process may be effected on the agent for service of process designated in the
Indenture for such Grantor, in the manner provided in Section 13.16 of the Indenture.
Section 5.15 Termination or Release.
(a) The Liens securing any Obligations will be released, in whole or in part, as pro-
vided in Section 12.03 of the Indenture.
(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section 5.15, the Collateral Agent shall, in each case, at such Grantor’s expense, (i) execute and deliver to
any Grantor, and make any filing of, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence
such termination or release (including, without limitation, making any filings (such as filings of Uniform
Commercial Code termination statements or releases in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or
Copyright Office)), (ii) duly assign and transfer to such Grantor such of the Pledged Collateral that may
be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or re-
leased pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) take any other action reasonably requested or demanded to
effectuate such release (including making any filing); provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be re-
-33-
CG&R Draft Last Saved: 10/13/2016 1:58 am 41019467v10
quired to take any action under this Section 5.15(b) unless such Grantor shall have delivered to the Col-
lateral Agent together with such request, which may be incorporated into such request, (1) a reasonably
detailed description of the Collateral, which in any event shall be sufficient to effect the appropriate ter-
mination or release without causing the release of any other Collateral and (2) a certificate of an Author-
ized Officer of the Issuer or such Grantor certifying that the transaction giving rise to such termination or
release is permitted by the Indenture and was, or will concurrently with the release be, consummated in
compliance with the Notes Documents. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Sec-
tion 5.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
Section 5.16 Additional Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent
and any Subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto by Section 4.15 of the Indenture of an in-
strument in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (or in such other form reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent), such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as
if originally named as a Guarantor on the date hereof. The execution and delivery of any such instrument
shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each par-
ty to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to
this Agreement.
Section 5.17 Conflicts; Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the con-
trary, the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations
and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the In-
tercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as the Intercreditor Agree-
ment is outstanding, the requirements of this Agreement to deliver Collateral and any certificates, instru-
ments or documents in relation thereto to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of
such Collateral and such certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto to the Applicable Au-
thorized Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (as bailee for the Collateral Agent) as
provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 5.18 Delivery to Collateral Agent Generally. To the extent any information, agree-
ment, certificates or other document to be delivered or provided to the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement has to be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, any information, agreement, certificates or other
document substantially similar in form and substance to any corresponding information, agreement, cer-
tificates or other document delivered to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be required
to make any request hereunder without the instructions of the holder of the Obligations in accordance
with Section 12.09 of the Indenture.
Section 5.19 Concerning the Collateral Agent. Section 12.09 of the Indenture concerning the
Collateral Agent is incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, except that references therein to (i) “Holders”
shall be references herein to “Secured Parties” and (ii) “Issuer” and “Guarantor” shall be references here-
in to “Grantor” as context dictates.

gations and liabilities under this Agreement shall be limited if required by the mandatory provisions of
the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)) (the “Swedish Companies Act”) regulat-
ing unlawful distribution of assets and transfer of value (Chapter 17, Sections 1-4), and it is understood

(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent (or to its bailee pursuant to the
Intercreditor Agreement), (i) any Pledged Collateral required to be delivered pursuant to the
foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.02 shall be accompanied by stock powers or
allonges, as applicable, duly executed in blank or other proper instruments of transfer and by
such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all
other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral delivered pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be accompanied to the extent necessary to perfect the security interest in or
allow realization on the Pledged Collateral by proper instruments of assignment duly executed
by the applicable Grantor and such other instruments or documents as the Collateral Agent may
- 12 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
request, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. Each delivery of Pledged Collateral
shall be accompanied by a supplement to Schedule I hereto describing such Pledged Collateral,
which supplement shall be attached hereto as a supplement to Schedule I (such supplement may
take the form of an amendment and restatement to Schedule I hereto) and made a part hereof;
provided that failure to attach any such schedule or supplement hereto shall not affect the
validity of such pledge of such Pledged Collateral. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement
any prior schedules so delivered.
Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Grantor represents,
warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:
(a) Schedule I correctly sets forth the percentage of the issued and outstanding
shares of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof (other than Excluded Equity
Interests) owned by such Grantor as of the Issue Date and all promissory notes or instruments
evidencing Debt for borrowed money (other than Excluded Instruments) owned by such Grantor
on the Issue Date;
(b) (i) the Pledged Equity Securities and Pledged Debt Securities have, in
each case, been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof, (ii) the Pledged

valid and binding obligations of the issuers thereof, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; provided,
that with respect to any Pledged Debt Securities or Pledged Equity Securities issued by a Person
other than the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof, the foregoing representations are made to the
knowledge of the Grantors;
(c) such Grantor (i) is the beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral indicated
on Schedule I as owned by such Grantor, (ii) holds the same free and clear of all Liens, other
than the security interests granted hereunder or under security agreements governed by any laws
other than the laws of the Province of Ontario relating to the Pledged Collateral and other
Permitted Liens and (iii) has made no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or
created or permitted to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral,
other than pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby or under security agreements
governed by any laws other than the laws of the Province of Ontario relating to the Pledged
Collateral and other transactions permitted by the Indenture and other than Liens granted
hereunder and other Permitted Liens (in each case (i), (ii) and (iii) other than Liens and pledges
pursuant to the Credit Facility Documents);
(d) other than as permitted in the Indenture, and except for restrictions and
limitations imposed by the Notes Documents or under applicable law generally or otherwise
permitted to exist pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Pledged Equity Securities are freely
transferable and assignable, and none of the Pledged Equity Securities is subject to any option,
right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or contractual
restriction of any nature that prohibits the pledge of such Pledged Equity Securities hereunder,
the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of rights
and remedies hereunder;
- 13 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
(e) other than as set forth in the Indenture, any other Notes Documents or the
schedules thereto, no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities
exchange or any other person was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby
(other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect);
(f) as of the Issue Date, all of the Pledged Equity Securities in limited liability
companies or partnerships that are wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries constitute a “security”
under the STA or the corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction and the
Grantors have caused certificates to be issued in respect thereof and have delivered such
certificates to the Collateral Agent (or to its bailee pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement)
pursuant to Section 2.02;
(g) the Grantors shall not amend, or permit to be amended, the limited liability
company agreement (or operating agreement or similar agreement) or partnership agreement of
any subsidiary of any Grantor whose Equity Interests are, or are required to be, Collateral in a
manner to cause such Equity Interests not to constitute a “security” under the STA or the
corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction;
(h) each Grantor has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral
pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;
(i) by virtue of the execution and delivery by each Grantor of this Agreement

Pledged Collateral as security for the payment and performance of such Grantor’s Obligations,
subject to Permitted Liens and (ii) when financing statements naming the Collateral Agent as the
secured party described in Section 3.02 are filed in the appropriate filing office, the Collateral
Agent will obtain, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and perfected lien upon
and security interest in the Pledged Collateral as security for the payment and performance of
such Grantor’s Obligations, subject to Permitted Liens; and
(j) each Grantor that is an issuer of the Pledged Collateral confirms that it has
received notice of the security interest granted hereunder and consents to such security interest
and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, agrees to transfer record ownership of
the securities issued by it in connection with any request by the Collateral Agent if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.
Section 2.04 Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Collateral Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the
Pledged Collateral in the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in
favour of the Collateral Agent or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
in its own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent). If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor will promptly give to the
Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to
Pledged Collateral registered in the name of such Grantor. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates
representing Pledged Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any
- 14 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
purpose consistent with this Agreement. Each Grantor shall each use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause any person that is not a party to this Agreement to comply with a request by the
Collateral Agent, pursuant to this Section 2.04, to exchange certificates representing Pledged
Collateral of such Grantor for certificates of smaller or larger denominations
Section 2.05 Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc.. (a) Unless and until an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and after the Collateral Agent shall have given
written notice (provided that with respect to any Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(7)
or Section 6.01(a)(8) of the Indenture, such notice shall have automatically, and without further
action, been deemed to have been delivered) to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s intention to
exercise its rights hereunder:
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or
other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or
any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Indenture and the other Notes Documents; provided that, except as permitted
under the Indenture, such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner
that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any
Pledged Collateral, the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any of the
other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Notes
Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each
Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies,
powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request
for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual
rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.
(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions or payments paid on or
distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity Securities to the extent and only to the
extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions or payments
are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms
and conditions of the Indenture, the other Notes Documents and applicable
laws; provided that (A) any non-cash dividends, interest, principal or other non-
cash distributions, payments or other consideration in respect thereof, including
any rights to receive the same to the extent not so distributed or paid, that would
constitute Pledged Equity Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision,
combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of
any Pledged Equity Securities, received in exchange for Pledged Equity Securities
or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, as a result of any merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be
a party or otherwise and (B) any non-cash dividends and other non-cash
distributions or payments paid or payable in respect of any Pledged Equity
Securities that would constitute Pledged Equity Securities in connection with a
partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of
capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus, shall be and become part of the Pledged
Equity Securities, as applicable, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be
commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be
- 15 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith
delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the
same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent).
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
and after the Collateral Agent shall have given written notice (provided that with respect to any
Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(7) or Section 6.01(a)(8) of the Indenture, such
notice shall have automatically, and without further action, been deemed to have been delivered)
to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any
Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions or payments that such Grantor is
authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 shall cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral
Agent which, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, shall have the sole
and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions or payments. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions or payments
received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.05 shall not be commingled
by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart
therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, shall be
forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same
form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). Any
and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be
established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof. After all Events of Default
have been cured or waived, and the Issuer has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a
Responsible Officer to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor,
without interest, all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions or payments that such
Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this
Section 2.05 and that remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
and after the Collateral Agent shall have given written notice (provided that with respect to any
Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(7) or Section 6.01(a)(8) of the Indenture, such
notice shall have automatically, and without further action, been deemed to have been delivered)
to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any
Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent
under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall have
the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and
powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all
Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise the
- 16 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.
Section 2.06 ULC Shares. Each Grantor acknowledges that certain of the Collateral of
such Grantor may now or in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the
Secured Parties and each Grantor that none of the Secured Parties should under any
circumstances prior to realization thereon be held to be a “member” or a “shareholder”, as
applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws. Therefore, notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Notes
Document, where a Grantor is the registered owner of ULC Shares which are Collateral of such
Grantor, such Grantor shall remain the sole registered owner of such ULC Shares until such time
as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or any other
Person on the books and records of the applicable ULC. Accordingly, each Grantor shall be
entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any,
with respect to such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of
Certificated Securities of such Grantor, which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold
hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction,
management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as such Grantor would if
such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. Nothing in this
Agreement, the Indenture or any other Notes Document is intended to, and nothing in this
Agreement, the Indenture or any other Notes Document shall, constitute the Collateral Agent or
any Person other than the applicable Grantor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the
purposes of any ULC Laws (whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time
as notice is given by the Collateral Agent or such other Person to such Grantor and further steps
are taken pursuant hereto and thereto so as to register the Collateral Agent or such other Person,
as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof
would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or such other Person as a member or a
shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed
herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Collateral of any
Grantor without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or
invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral of any
Grantor which is not ULC Shares. Except upon the exercise of rights of the Collateral Agent to
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each
Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable a ULC to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent to:
(a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in their
favour in the share register of such ULC; be held out as shareholders or members of such ULC;
(d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC
by reason of the Collateral Agent holding the Security Interests over the ULC Shares; or (e) act
as a shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend
a meeting of shareholders of such ULC or to vote its ULC Shares.
ARTICLE III.

pledges, mortgages, charges and assigns (by way of security) to the Collateral Agent, for the

Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all
right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the personal property now owned or at any

(xv) all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of any and all of

not constitute a grant of a security interest in any (i) Excluded Property, (ii) Excluded Equity
Interests or (iii) property, rights, securities and other assets of any Luxembourg Domiciled
Grantor that may only be secured under collateral documentation governed by the laws of
Luxembourg; provided that such exclusions shall not de facto apply to the Proceeds of any of the

- 18 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any
time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (including
fixture filings) with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that
contain the information required by the PPSA of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any
financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the
type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor, (ii) in
the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in a land registration filing office, a
sufficient description of the property to which such fixture filing relates and (iii) a description of
collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably determine is necessary to ensure the perfection of the Security Interest in the
Collateral granted under this Agreement, including describing such property as “all assets”, “all
assets whether now owned or hereafter acquired”, or words of similar effect. Each Grantor
agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.
The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the Canadian Intellectual
Property Office (or any successor office) such documents as may be reasonably necessary for the
purpose of reflecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, and naming any Grantor or
the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, no Grantor shall be required to take any action under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States and Canada (or any political subdivision thereof) and
their respective territories and possessions, Jersey and Luxembourg for the purpose of perfecting
the Security Interest in any General Collateral of such Grantor constituting Intellectual Property.
(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or
liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the
Indenture and other than as set forth in the other Notes Documents, (i) no perfection steps shall
be required by any means other than (A) filings pursuant to the PPSA and New York UCC (or
other applicable law), as applicable, in the office of the relevant jurisdictions of each Grantor
(and any applicable Canadian filings set forth in the other Security Agreements), (B) filings in
the Canadian Intellectual Property Office of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (and
any filings in any applicable foreign offices set forth in the other Security Agreements),
(C) delivery of Collateral consisting of promissory notes and instruments evidencing Debt for
borrowed money; provided that such delivery shall not be required with respect to (1) Excluded
Instruments, (2) any promissory notes and instruments evidencing Debt for borrowed money that
are promptly deposited into an investment or securities account, (3) checks received in the
ordinary course of business and (4) promissory notes and instruments evidencing Debt issued in
connection with the extension of trade credit by the grantor of a security interest, (D) delivery of
Collateral consisting of certificated Equity Interests included in the Collateral and (E) other
actions expressly required by this Agreement or the Indenture or as set forth in any local law
security agreement, (ii) other than as set forth in the other Notes Documents, no actions shall be
required in order to create any security interest in assets located or titled outside of the United
States and Canada or make enforceable any such security interest; (iii) no security shall be taken
or perfected over movable plant and equipment to the extent requiring any labeling or
segregation of such plant or equipment; and (iv) no security shall be taken or perfected over any
- 19 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
stock in trade to the extent this would require any item-specific or periodic listing of stock in
trade or any segregation thereof.
(e) Each Grantor confirms that it has rights in its Collateral existing at the
date of this Agreement or the date of any Supplement, as applicable, and that such Grantor and
the Collateral Agent have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interests
to any of the Collateral of such Grantor.
(f) Notwithstanding the opening paragraph of Section 3.01, no Grantor
mortgages, charges or assigns Trademarks or Trademark Licences, but rather only grants a
security interest in Trademarks and Trademark Licences.
Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants to
the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:
(a) Such Grantor has good and valid legal title to, or valid licence or leasehold
interest in, as applicable, the General Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a
Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the
Security Interest in such General Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval
of any other person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is in full force
and effect or has otherwise been disclosed herein or in the Indenture.
(b) The PPSA financing statements that have been prepared for filing in the
office specified in Schedule IV and attached as Annex I to Schedule IV constitute all the filings,
recordings and registrations (except with respect to Intellectual Property) that are, as of the Issue
Date, necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and
perfected security interest in favour of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) in respect of all General Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing
such financing statements.
(c) A fully executed Intellectual Property Security Agreement containing a
description of all General Collateral consisting of Canadian Patents (and Canadian Patents for
which applications are pending), Canadian registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which
Canadian registration applications are pending) and Canadian registered Copyrights (and
Copyrights for which Canadian registration applications are pending) will have been delivered as
of the Issue Date to the Collateral Agent for recording with the Canadian Intellectual Property
Office in favour of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all
General Collateral consisting of such Intellectual Property.
(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all
the General Collateral securing the payment and performance of each Grantor’s Obligations and
(ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.01(b), a perfected security interest in all General
Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a
financing statement or analogous document in Canada (or any political subdivision thereof) and
its territories and possessions pursuant to the PPSA or other applicable law in such jurisdictions.
The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the General Collateral
other than (i) Liens permitted by Section 4.12 of the Indenture having priority either by operation
- 20 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
of applicable law or (ii) Liens permitted by Section 4.12 of the Indenture which are permitted to
have pari passu or senior priority pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
(e) The Grantors own the General Collateral (or, to each Grantor’s
knowledge, in the case of licences in respect of Intellectual Property, own the right to use such
licences), free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Except as set forth in Schedule V, as of the Issue Date, all Accounts have
been originated by the Grantors and all Inventory has been produced or acquired by the Grantors
in the ordinary course of business.
(h) As to itself and its General Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property
(the “Intellectual Property Collateral”), to each Grantor’s actual knowledge:
(i) Schedule II sets forth the Intellectual Property Collateral consisting
of the Patents that are issued or the subject of a pending application and the
Trademarks and Copyrights that are registered or the subject of a pending
application, in each case, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
United States Copyright Office, Canadian Intellectual Property Office or the
equivalents thereof in any other country or jurisdiction, and, in each case, owned
by such Grantor as of the date hereof.
(ii) The Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in such Intellectual
Property Collateral are subsisting and, solely with respect to the issued Patents
and registered Trademarks and registered Copyrights included therein, have not
been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part (except for office actions
issued in the ordinary course by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any
similar office in any foreign jurisdiction), and are valid and enforceable, in each
case except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Such Grantor does not have knowledge of any uses of any item of
Intellectual Property Collateral that would be expected to lead to such item
becoming invalid or unenforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) Such Grantor has made or performed in the ordinary course of
such Grantor’s business, acts, including without limitation filings, recordings and
payment of fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and
every Patent, Trademark and Copyright set forth on Schedule II in full force and
effect and such Grantor has used proper statutory notice in connection with its use
of each Patent, Trademark and Copyright in such Intellectual Property Collateral,
in each case, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv) With respect to each IP Agreement the absence, termination or
violation of which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, each such IP Agreement is subsisting, valid
and enforceable against the counterparty and is in full force and effect subject to
- 21 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
(i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair
dealing.
(v) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, no Grantor or Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any
outstanding consent, settlement, decree, order, injunction, judgment or ruling
restricting the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral or that would impair the
validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral.
(i) Schedule VI sets forth a true and complete list of all Deposit Accounts,
Securities Accounts and Futures Accounts maintained by the Grantors, including the name of
each institution where each such account is held, the name of each such account, the name of
each entity that holds each account and to the extent any such account is an Excluded Account,
stating the reason such account is an Excluded Account.
(j) Such Grantor is not a beneficiary or assignee under any letter of credit,
other than the letters of credit described in Schedule VII hereto and additional letters of credit as
to which such Grantor has complied with the requirements of Section 3.04(d).

(including the addition of a French form of name), (ii) its identity or type of organization or
corporate structure, (iii) its organizational identification number (or equivalent), (iv) any change
in the location of the jurisdiction of organization or relocating its chief executive office,
registered office, head office or domicile office of such Grantor, (v) any merger, consolidation or
amalgamation of such Grantor with any other Person, and (vi) any additional jurisdiction in
which such Grantor carries on business generating annual revenues, or has tangible personal
property valued, in excess of $5,000,000. Each Grantor agrees promptly to provide the Collateral
Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the
immediately preceding sentence. Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred
to in the first sentence of this paragraph unless all filings have been made, or will have been
made within any applicable statutory period, that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to
continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest
in all Collateral with the priority required under the Notes Documents for the benefit of the
applicable Secured Parties.
(b) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver
and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such further
actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to preserve, protect and
perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of
any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture
filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any and all amounts payable
under or in connection with any of the General Collateral (other than amounts that in the
aggregate for such Grantor do not exceed $5,000,000) shall be or become evidenced by any
promissory note or other instrument evidencing Debt for borrowed money, then, such note or
- 22 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent shall
have the right to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity,
value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the General Collateral, including,
in the case of Accounts or General Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting
Account Debtors or the third person possessing such General Collateral for the purpose of
making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any information it
gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(d) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, at its
option after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the
Collateral Agent may, but is not obligated to, discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges,
fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the General
Collateral and not constituting a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the General Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the
Indenture or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the
Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense
incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.03(d) shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the
performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure
or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein
or in the other Notes Documents.
(e) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall
remain liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the
General Collateral.
(f) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, each
Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers,
employees, agents or sub-agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and
lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of
General Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any
check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the Proceeds of such policies of insurance
and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any
Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance
required under the Indenture, the Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of
the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such
policies of insurance (including by paying premiums with respect thereto) and take any other
actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums
disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 3.03(f), including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon
- 23 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby.
Section 3.04 Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and
priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in the General Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in
each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions:
(a) Instruments and Chattel Paper. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and
Section 5.17 hereof, except with respect to Excluded Instruments, if any Grantor shall at any
time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than checks received and processed in the ordinary
course of business) or Chattel Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor
shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by
such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may
from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Investment Property. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section
5.17 hereof, except with respect to any Excluded Equity Interests and Excluded Instrument, if
any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated Security constituting Pledged
Collateral or General Collateral, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the
same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify and in
accordance with Section 2.02 hereof. Each Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged
Equity Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable
Grantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement
and Section 5.17 hereof, (i) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged
Equity Securities, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of
the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to
complete the pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Equity
Securities under the terms hereof, (ii) upon request by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent, provide to the Collateral Agent an opinion of counsel,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, confirming such pledge
and perfection thereof, and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, upon request by the Collateral Agent, (A) cause the organizational documents of each
such issuer that is a subsidiary of such Grantor to be amended to provide that such Pledged
Equity Securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the STA and (B) cause such
Pledged Equity Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Collateral Agent in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Letter of Credit Rights. With respect to any letter of credit rights of any
Grantor relating to any letter of credit with a face amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to provide the
Collateral Agent a first priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in any
such letter of credit rights.
(e) Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to enter into and cause the applicable bank to enter into a Control Agreement with the
- 24 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
Collateral Agent with respect to each Deposit Account listed in Schedule VI hereof (other than
any Excluded Accounts). The Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in each
such Deposit Account subject only to Permitted Liens. No Grantor shall hereafter establish and
maintain any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) unless (1) it shall have given
the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of its intention to establish such new Deposit Account
with a bank and (2) such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such bank to
promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of establishing such Deposit Account) execute
and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account.
The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any
instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account
or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Grantor with respect to funds from time to time
credited to any Deposit Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each
Grantor agrees that once the Collateral Agent sends an instruction or notice to a bank exercising
its control over any Deposit Account such Grantor shall not give any instructions or orders with
respect to such Deposit Account including, without limitation, instructions for distribution or
transfer of any funds in such Deposit Account. No Grantor shall grant control of any Deposit
Account to any person other than the Collateral Agent unless otherwise permitted under the
Indenture.
(f) Securities Accounts and Futures Accounts. (a) Each Grantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enter into and cause the applicable Securities Intermediary or
Futures Intermediary to enter into a Control Agreement with the Collateral Agent with respect to
each Securities Account or Futures Account listed in Schedule VI hereto (other than Excluded
Accounts). The Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in each such
Securities Account and Futures Account, which security interest is perfected by Control subject
only to Permitted Liens. No Grantor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities
Account or Futures Account with any Securities Intermediary or Futures Intermediary unless (1)
it shall have given the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of its intention to establish such
new Securities Account or Futures Account with such Securities Intermediary or Futures
Intermediary and (2) such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Securities Intermediary or Futures Intermediary, as the case may be, to promptly (and in any
event within thirty (30) days of establishing such Securities Account or Futures Account) duly
execute and deliver a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Futures
Account, as the case may be. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral
Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of
uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Futures Intermediary, and shall not withhold
its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Grantor, unless an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and
withdrawal rights, would occur. Each Grantor agrees that once the Collateral Agent sends an
instruction or notice to a Securities Intermediary or Futures Intermediary exercising its Control
over any Securities Account and Futures Account such Grantor shall not give any instructions or
orders with respect to such Securities Account and Futures Account including, without
limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or transfer of any Investment Property or
financial asset maintained in such Securities Account or Futures Account. No Grantor shall grant
Control over any Investment Property to any person other than the Collateral Agent unless
otherwise permitted under the Indenture.

references to Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Trade Secrets in this Section 3.05 are
referring to Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Trade Secrets that are included in the
Intellectual Property Collateral. Except as permitted by the Indenture:
(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit to do
any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to contractually prohibit its licencees
from doing any act or omitting to do any act, provided that no Grantor shall be obligated to
amend any agreement existing as of the date hereof) whereby any issued Patent that is material to
the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business would become prematurely invalidated,
abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public (except, in each case, to the extent such action or
inaction is deemed advisable in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment and except that
nothing in this Section 3.05 shall prohibit such Grantor from asserting such Patent against any
other person).
(b) Each Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
contractually require its licencees and its sublicencees (provided that no Grantor shall be
obligated to amend any agreement existing as of the date hereof to so require) to, for each
material registered Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business, use
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any
adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal or
foreign registration or claim of trademark or service xxxx as required under applicable law and
(iv) not knowingly use, or knowingly permit its licencees’ use of, such Trademark in violation of
any third party rights, except, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, to the extent such action or
inaction is deemed advisable in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment.
(c) Each Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause its licencees and its sublicencees (provided that no Grantor shall be obligated to amend any
agreement existing as of the date hereof to so cause) to, for each material Copyright necessary to
the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use a
copyright notice as necessary to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.
(d) Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it has received
written notice, other than regular reports with respect to Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights
received in the ordinary course of business that any issued Patent, registered Trademark or
registered Copyright material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business may imminently
become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, in the case of such Patent or Copyright,
prior to the end of its statutory term under applicable law, or of any materially adverse
determination or development, excluding office actions and similar determinations or
developments in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, any court or any similar office of any
country, regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or
Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.
(e) Subject to Section 3.01(d)(ii), each Grantor, either itself or through any
agent, employee or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis
(commencing January 1, 2017) of each application by itself, or through any agent, employee or
designee, for any Patent with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and each registration of
any Trademark or Copyright with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office filed during the
- 26 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
preceding twelve-month period, and (ii) promptly thereafter execute and deliver and file with the
Canadian Intellectual Property Office an IP Agreement with respect thereto and, execute and
deliver any and all other agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent,
Trademark, or Copyright; provided that so long as the Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral
Agent is the Applicable Authorized Representative at the time the Grantor informs the Collateral
Agent of any application pursuant to clause (i), the Grantor will only be required to execute and
deliver and file with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office an IP Agreement with respect to
such application pursuant to clause (ii) if the Senior Secured Credit Facilities Collateral Agent
has requested that the Grantor make such a filing pursuant to the Credit Facility Security
Agreement.
(f) Each Grantor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment in any
proceeding before the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any comparable office or agency
in any other country with respect to (i) maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any
Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to
the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business, and (ii) maintaining any registration or issuance
of each Patent, Trademark, and Copyright that is material to the normal conduct of such
Grantor’s business, including, when applicable and necessary in such Grantor’s reasonable
business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of
incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Grantor believes necessary in its
reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings
against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor receives written notice that any General
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Trade Secret material to the normal
conduct of its business has been materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party,
such Grantor shall, if such Grantor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment,
promptly take actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation or dilution and protect its
rights in such Patent, Trademark, Copyright, or Trade Secret, including, but not limited to, the
initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages, in each case, to the extent it
deems reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.
(h) Each Grantor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment in protecting
the secrecy of all Trade Secrets owned by such Grantor that are material to the normal conduct of
such Grantor’s business, including, without limitation, if such Grantor deems it necessary in its
reasonable business judgment, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and
consultants and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents.
ARTICLE IV.
REMEDIES
Section 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral
Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to
applicable law, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 5.17 hereof, to take any of or
all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any General Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an
- 27 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such General Collateral by the applicable
Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 4.01 hereof at
such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies,
and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, an irrevocable (but
solely during the continuance of an Event of Default), non-exclusive world-wide licence
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the
case of Trademarks, to any quality standards and quality control practices in effect by each
applicable Grantor, with respect to its Trademarks and sufficient to avoid the risk of invalidation
or dilution of such Trademarks, to use, licence or sublicence any of the Intellectual Property now
owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be
located; provided, that such licence shall include access to all media in which any of the licenced
items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or
printout hereof; provided further that the Collateral Agent shall retain the confidentiality of any
Trade Secrets licenced under this Section 4.01 consistent with the practices in effect by each
applicable Grantor, with respect to its confidential information, immediately prior to such Event
of Default; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any subsequent
cure of an Event of Default, any licence, sublicence or other transaction entered into by the
Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors until the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.15; and (b) to take possession of the Collateral and
without liability for trespass to the applicable Grantor to enter any premises where the Collateral
may be located for the purpose of taking possession of, removing or selling the Collateral and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the PPSA or other
applicable law and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies during
the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable licence (without payment of rent or other
compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated,
leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing rights and remedies, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right,
subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law (including the PPSA), to sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s
board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral
Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any
sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing
such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or
sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.01, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers
thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby
waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and
appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law
or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the Issuer and each applicable Grantor not less
than ten (10) days’ prior written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice) of the
Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public
sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on
- 28 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or
exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business
hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such
sale. The Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold at any such sale may be sold in one lot as
an entirety or in separate parcels in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents
and contractors, upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor and the Collateral
Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the
Inventory to be sold with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of
the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor), all as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and
absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or
any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be
retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser
or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such
failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions
above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this
Section 4.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law)
from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all such
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or
any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim
then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase
price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and
dispose of such property in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof without further accountability to
any Grantor therefor. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it,
the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this
Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a
court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to
the commercially reasonable standards as provided in the PPSA or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions. Without limiting any right or remedy of the Collateral Agent in the foregoing, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may by
instrument in writing appoint any person as a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral. The
Collateral Agent may from time to time remove or replace a Receiver, or make application to
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Receiver. Any Receiver appointed
by the Collateral Agent (for purposes relating to responsibility for the Receiver’s acts or
omissions) be considered to be the agent of the applicable Grantor. The Collateral Agent shall
not be liable to any Grantor or any other person in connection with appointing or not appointing
a Receiver or in connection with the Receiver’s actions or omissions.
Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds.
- 29 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
(a) The Collateral Agent shall, except as otherwise provided under the
Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement to which the Collateral Agent is
party in respect of the Obligations, promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any
collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following
order of priority: first to amounts owing to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to amounts owing to the Trustee in its capacity as
such in accordance with the Indenture; second to the payment in full of the Obligations (the
amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the
respective amount of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and
third after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses first through second,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any other intercreditor agreement to which
the Collateral Agent is party in respect of the Obligations or any other Notes Document, to the
Issuer or as the Issuer shall direct.
(b) If any payment to any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 4.02 of its
pro rata share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess
amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Obligations of the other Secured
Parties, with each Secured Party whose Obligations have not been paid in full to receive an
amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the
unpaid Obligations of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid
Obligations of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.
(c) All payments required to be made by the Collateral Agent under this
Section 4.02 shall be made to the Trustee for the account of such Secured Parties or as the
Trustee may otherwise direct in accordance with the Notes Documents.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Subject to the other limitations (if any) set forth herein and in the other
Notes Documents, it is understood that each Grantor shall remain liable to the extent of any
deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of its Collateral and the aggregate amount of its
Obligations.
(f) It is understood and agreed by each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall
have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 4.02 except to the extent that
any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each
Grantor also agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and
in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent
jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof
and of the Intercreditor Agreement (or any other intercreditor agreement to which the Collateral
Agent is party in respect of the Obligations), and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait
for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.
Section 4.03 Securities Laws. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the
Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise
under applicable securities law with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral
permitted hereunder (such laws being called the “Applicable Securities Laws”). Each Grantor
understands that compliance with the Applicable Securities Laws might very strictly limit the
- 30 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all
or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in
which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly,
there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt
to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under Applicable Securities Laws. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral
Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a
registration statement or other document for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or
part thereof shall have been filed under Applicable Securities Laws and (b) may approach and
negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and
agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than
if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the
Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good
xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after
registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of
this Section 4.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon
which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral
Agent sells.

make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect

hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Notes Documents in the
courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Grantors agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that (i) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than an

would be inconvenient and inappropriate), and (ii) in any such action or proceeding brought
against any Grantor in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff,
or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will
preclude such Grantor from asserting or seeking the same in an Ontario Court.

- 34 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4

this Agreement or the other Notes Documents in any Ontario Court (other than with respect to
actions by the Collateral Agent in respect of rights under this Agreement governed by laws other

of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by delivering by registered

13.01 of the Indenture.
(d) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that the
Collateral Agent retains the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to
bring proceedings against any Grantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with

Collateral that may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold

provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Section
5.15(d) unless such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent together with such
request, which may be incorporated into such request, (1) a reasonably detailed description of the
Collateral, which in any event shall be sufficient to effect the appropriate termination or release
- 35 -
LEGAL_1:41351334.4
without causing the release of any other Collateral and (2) a certificate of an Authorized Officer
of the Issuer or such Grantor certifying that the transaction giving rise to such termination or
release is permitted by the Indenture and was, or will concurrently with the release be,

documents pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the

reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent), such subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor on the date hereof.

and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as
the Intercreditor Agreement is in force, the requirements of this Agreement to deliver Collateral
and any certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto to the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral and such certificates, instruments or documents
in relation thereto to the Applicable Authorized Representative (as bailee for the Collateral
Agent) as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 5.18 Delivery to Collateral Agent Generally. To the extent any information,
agreement, certificates or other document to be delivered or provided to the Collateral Agent
under this Agreement has to be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, any information, agreement,
certificates or other document substantially similar in form and substance to any corresponding
information, agreement, certificates or other document delivered to the Senior Secured Credit

The Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any request hereunder without the
instructions of the holder of the Obligations in accordance with Section 12.09 of the Indenture.
Section 5.19 Concerning the Collateral Agent. Section 12.09 of the Indenture
concerning the Collateral Agent is incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, except that references

within the Security Period when:

defined in the 2016 Indenture).
21.5 Financial collateral
(a) To the extent that the assets mortgaged or charged under this Deed constitute "financial collateral"
and this Deed and the obligations of the Chargor under this Deed constitute a "security financial
collateral arrangement" (in each case for the purpose of and as defined in the Financial Collateral
Arrangements (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 3226)) the Collateral Agent shall have the
right after this Security has become enforceable to appropriate all or any part of that financial
collateral in or towards the satisfaction of the Secured Liabilities.

as the value at which it could have been sold on the exchange on the date of appropriation;
or
(ii) in any other case, the value of the financial collateral will be such amount as the Collateral
Agent reasonably determines having taken into account advice obtained by it from an
independent investment or accountancy firm of national standing selected by it,
(c) and each Secured Party will give credit for the proportion of the value of the financial collateral
appropriated to its use.
22. RELEASE
(a) This Deed shall terminate and the Security shall be released in accordance with the provisions of

respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Deed nor of such provision under the laws of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and, if any part of the security intended to be created by
or pursuant to this Deed is invalid, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason, that shall not affect
or impair any other part of the security.
25. REMEDIES, WAIVERS AND DETERMINATIONS
25.1 Remedies and waivers
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party any right or remedy under this Deed shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or
constitute an election to affirm this Deed. No election to affirm this Deed on the part of the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall be effective unless in writing. No single or partial
exercise of any right or remedy shall prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any
other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

by doing so.

15 Remedies and waiver
15.1 No failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise, nor any delay by the Collateral Agent in
exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof nor shall any
single or partial exercise prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or remedy.

created hereunder, and any rights or other remedies provided by law (including the Law
as it applies to the security created hereunder) are cumulative and not mutually exclusive

Agent's discretion.

its expenses incurred hereunder and (ii) indemnification for losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses incurred or asserted, arising out of, in connection with or
as a result of this agreement, in each case, as and to the extent provided in Section 7.07
of the 2016 Indenture and the provisions of Section 7.07 of the 2016 Indenture shall be
incorporated by reference herein and apply to the Grantor mutatis mutandis.
17 Set-off
17.1 The Collateral Agent may, at any time, while an Event of Default is continuing, set off any
obligation of or due by the Collateral Agent to the Grantor (including any contingent or
unmatured obligation and in respect of any bank account of the Grantor held with the
Collateral Agent) or any part thereof against the Secured Obligations or any part thereof,
all to the extent the Secured Documents permits the Collateral Agent to do so. If the
obligations to be set off are in different currencies, the Collateral Agent may convert all
obligations into the same currency applying the then prevailing spot rate of exchange of
the Collateral Agent (as conclusively determined by the Collateral Agent).
17.2 The Collateral Agent has entered into this agreement on behalf of the Secured Parties
and accordingly the right of set off in this clause shall apply in respect of all Secured
Obligations whether owed to the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties, and may
be exercised by the Collateral Agent on its own behalf or those of any of the Secured
Parties.
18 Release
This agreement shall be terminated and the security interest granted hereby shall be
released when all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash or otherwise in
accordance with the provisions of section 12.03 of the 2016 Indenture.

If at any time one or more of the provisions of this agreement becomes invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, that provision shall be severed from the remainder and the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this agreement shall not
be affected or impaired in any way.

Any certificate submitted by the Collateral Agent to the Grantor as to (a) the amount of the
Secured Obligations or any part of them or (b) the amount of its reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in enforcing this agreement (or any rights hereunder) for the purposes
of Article 54 of the Law, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on the Grantor.
15 BLAW-34389947-9
21 Amalgamation and consolidation
The rights and benefits of the Collateral Agent under this agreement shall remain valid
and binding for all purposes notwithstanding any change, amalgamation, consolidation or
otherwise which may be made in the constitution of the Collateral Agent and shall be
available to such entity as shall carry on the business of the Collateral Agent for the time
being.
22 Conversion of currency
All monies received or held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this agreement may at any
time, while an Event of Default is continuing, be converted into such other currency as the
Collateral Agent considers necessary or desirable to satisfy the Secured Obligations in
that other currency at the then prevailing spot rate of exchange of the Collateral Agent (as
conclusively determined by the Collateral Agent) for purchasing that other currency with
the original currency.
23 Amendment and waiver
23.1 No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right,
power or remedy hereunder or under any other Notes Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties hereunder and under the other Notes Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this agreement or consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause 23.2, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given.
23.2 Neither this agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral
Agent and the Grantor with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9 of the 2016
Indenture.
24 Assignment
24.1 The Collateral Agent may grant a participation in or make an assignment or transfer or
otherwise dispose of, the whole or any part of its rights and benefits under this agreement
to any person to which it is permitted to grant a participation, make an assignment or
transfer or otherwise dispose of its rights or benefits under the terms of the 2016

the Grantor as may have been made available to the Collateral Agent by the Grantor or
which is otherwise publicly available.

obligations under this agreement.

shall be joint and several and every agreement, undertaking or covenant contained in this
agreement shall be construed accordingly.

be governed by the 2016 Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement and are incorporated
herein by reference mutatis mutandis.

23 Amendment and waiver
23.1 No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right,
power or remedy hereunder or under any other Notes Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy,

apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9 of the 2016
Indenture.

otherwise dispose of, the whole or any part of its rights and benefits under this agreement

any time in the future have from or against any Pledgor or any other person.
(d) No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, or delay on its part in exercising, any of its rights

remedies conferred upon the Pledgee by this Pledge Agreement or by law nor any Pledge created

Agreement, the Pledges or by law.
0090900-0000011 LU:10935710.3 5
(f) Each Pledgor hereby waives any rights (if any) arising for it under article 2037 of the Luxembourg
civil code or any right it may have of first requiring the Pledgee to proceed against or claim payment
from, or to divide any action between and against, any other persons or enforce any guarantee or
security before enforcing the relevant Pledge.
(g) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives any right of recourse, right, action and claim (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, by way of set-off or by way of protective measures such as a saisie-arrêt)
that it may have, whether by way of subrogation or directly or of any other nature, against any
Grantor and all or any of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of such Grantor, further to an
enforcement of the Pledges (or any of them) by any means whatsoever (including, in particular, the
right of recourse a Pledgor may have against any such entity under the terms of article 2028 et seq.
of the Luxembourg civil code). This waiver is effective in respect of any rights of any Pledgor which
come into existence prior to an enforcement in particular as a result of principal, interest or other
distributions being paid to the Pledgee. For the avoidance of doubt, this waiver is final and will
subsist after the expiry of the Security Period. This waiver is for the exclusive benefit of the Pledgee
who has the right to waive the benefit thereof by notice sent in writing by the Pledgee to the Pledgors
(or any of them) and the Debtors (or any of them), which will have as an effect that the
aforementioned rights of recourse remain in existence as if never waived, without prejudice to the
terms of any other Secured Document.
(h) Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, without prejudice to Clause 4(g) above,
until:
(i) the end of the Security Period; or
(ii) the Pledgee otherwise directs,
none of the Pledgors shall:
(A) be entitled (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to any rights of any Secured Party (or any
trustee or agent on its behalf) or be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in
respect of any security realised or enforced (in whole or in part) or moneys or value held,
received or receivable by any Secured Party hereunder, or
(B) claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Grantor or Grantor’s estate in competition
with any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf).

6. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THE RECEIVABLES
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:
6.1 Right to principal and interest
(a) Unless an Event of Default is continuing, this Pledge Agreement does not affect each of the
Pledgors’s (in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) entitlement to receive
the principal and interest or other proceeds paid or to be paid by any Debtor in respect of all or any
of the Receivables owed to it, unless the payment of such principal, interest or other proceeds is or
becomes prohibited by the Indenture.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement the Pledgee shall have entitlement to receive the principal and interest or other proceeds
paid or to be paid by the Debtors in respect of all or any of the Receivables. To this effect, each
Pledgor and the Pledgee agree that each Debtor is hereby directed (and each Debtor, by
countersigning this Pledge Agreement, accepts), if and when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to make direct payment of all such principal, interest and other proceeds to the Pledgee
exclusively.
6.2 General entitlements attaching to the Receivables
While an Event of Default is continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise, at its discretion
and if it so elects by notice in writing to the relevant Debtor and the relevant Pledgor, any and all
rights attaching to the Receivables owed to it (or any part thereof) of any nature and whether arising
by way of contract, deed, law, constitutional documents, court order or otherwise.
0090900-0000011 LU:10935710.3 9
7. LIABILITY TO PERFORM AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
(a) It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Pledge
Agreement, each Pledgor shall remain liable to observe and perform all of the conditions and
obligations assumed by it in respect of the Receivables owed to it and the Pledgee shall be under no
obligation or liability in this respect. The Pledgee shall not be required in any manner to perform or
fulfil any obligations of any Pledgor in respect of the Receivables owed to it, or to make any
payment, or to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to
present or file any claim or take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to
which it may have been or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time.
(b) Each Pledgor and each Debtor shall, upon the written request of the Pledgee, each at its own
expense, promptly and duly execute and perform all such assurances, acts and things as the Pledgee
may reasonably require as being necessary for perfecting or protecting all or any of the rights,
powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Pledgee under
this Pledge Agreement in relation to the Receivables owed to it for facilitating the enforcement of
any such rights or any part thereof and in the exercise of all powers, authorities and discretions
vested in the Pledgee. To that effect, each Pledgor and each Debtor shall in particular promptly
execute all documents or instruments and give all notices, orders and directions and make all
registrations reasonably requested by the Pledgee which the Pledgee acting reasonably may think
expedient.
8. ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGES
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:
(a) At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Pledgee is
entitled to enforce the Pledges (or any of them) immediately, at its absolute discretion, at the sole
cost of the Pledgors, and exercise any right under (i) applicable law (including, without limitation,
article 11 of the Collateral Act 2005) and/or (ii) this Pledge Agreement and to enforce all or any part
of the Pledges in respect of the Receivables in any manner it sees fit.
The Pledgee shall, in particular, be entitled to:
(i) sell, or cause the sale of, the Receivables in a private sale (vente de gré à gré) at normal
commercial terms (conditions commerciales normales) or in a public sale (organised in any
manner the Pledgee sees fit and which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not need to be made
by or within a stock exchange or regulated market); or
(ii) appropriate the Receivables at their fair value as determined by an independent auditor
(réviseur d'entreprises) of good repute, registered with the Luxembourg Institut des
Réviseurs d’Entreprises, appointed by the Pledgee on the basis of such available elements
and facts as deemed relevant by the independent auditor or the reputable investment bank.
The Pledgee may, at its sole discretion, determine the date on which the appropriation
becomes effective, including a date before the valuation has been commenced or completed.
The Pledgee can further determine, at its sole discretion, that the right to appropriate all or
part of the Receivables be exercised by one or more entities other than the Pledgee
(including one or more special purpose vehicles), it being understood that an appropriation
of the Receivables by such other entity or entities shall be deemed to have the same effects
under the Secured Documents as if the Pledgee had proceeded with such appropriation; or
(iii) require, in accordance with article 11.(3) of the Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000, any Debtor to make
payment of all amounts due by it under and in connection with the Receivables directly to
the Pledgee or as otherwise directed by the Pledgee; or
0090900-0000011 LU:10935710.3 10
(iv) request that the Receivables be attributed (attribution judiciaire) to the Pledgee pursuant to a
court order in discharge of the Secured Liabilities or any part thereof following a valuation
of the Receivables made by a court appointed expert; or
(v) use any other enforcement method to the widest extent permitted by applicable law; and
(vi) act generally in relation to the Receivables in such manner as the Pledgee acting reasonably
shall determine.
(b) The Pledgee shall have the right to request enforcement of each Pledge in respect of all or part of the
Receivables at its absolute discretion while an Event of Default is continuing. No action, choice or
absence of action in this respect, or partial enforcement, shall in any manner affect the Pledges (or
any of them) as they (it) then shall be (and in particular those Receivables which have not been
subject to enforcement). Each Pledge shall continue to remain in full and valid existence until
enforcement, discharge or termination hereof, as the case may be.
9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
Any monies or value received by the Pledgee in respect of the Receivables before or following the
enforcement of the Pledges (or any of them) in accordance with Clause 8 above and/or under the
rights and powers hereby conferred shall be applied by the Pledgee, in and towards payment and
discharge of the Secured Liabilities in accordance with section 4.2 (Application of Proceeds) of the
Pledge and Security Agreement.
10. RELEASE OF THE PLEDGES
This Pledge Agreement and these Pledges shall terminate when all the Secured Liabilities have been
paid in full in cash or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of section 12.03 of the Indenture.
At the end of the Security Period, the Pledgee must, at the written request of any of the Pledgors and
cost of the Pledgors, take whatever action is reasonably necessary to release the Pledges.
11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
(a) Neither the Pledgee nor any of its agents shall be liable for any losses arising in connection with the
exercise of any of its rights, powers and discretions (including without limitation its rights, powers
and discretions in connection with the enforcement of any Pledge) hereunder save for any liability
arising from the gross negligence (faute lourde) or wilful misconduct (faute intentionnelle/dol) of the
Pledgee or its agents.
(b) Each Pledgor will indemnify the Pledgee and every attorney which may be appointed, from time to
time, in respect of all liabilities and expenses incurred by it, him, her or them in the execution of any
rights, powers or discretions vested in it, him, her or them pursuant thereto save for liabilities and
expenses arising from the gross negligence (faute lourde) or wilful misconduct (faute
intentionnelle/dol) of the Pledgee or its attorney or both.
(c) The provisions of paragraph (b) above shall continue in force after the revocation or termination,
howsoever arising, of the power of attorney granted by the Pledgors pursuant to Clause 13 (Power of
Attorney).
12. DELEGATION BY THE PLEDGEE
(a) The Pledgee or any person appointed by the Pledgee may at any time and from time to time delegate
by power of attorney or in any other manner to any properly qualified person or persons all or any of
0090900-0000011 LU:10935710.3 11
the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Pledgee under
this Pledge Agreement in relation to the Receivables.
(b) Any such delegation may be made upon such terms (including a power of substitution) and subject
to such regulations as the Pledgee or such person appointed by the Pledgee may think fit. The
Pledgee shall as soon as practicable inform each Pledgor of the identity of the person appointed
pursuant to this Clause 12.
(c) The Pledgee or such person appointed by the Pledgee shall not be in any way liable or responsible to
the Pledgors (or any of them) for any loss or damage arising from any act, default, omission or
misconduct on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate except in the case of gross negligence
(faute lourde) or wilful misconduct (faute intentionnelle/dol).
13. POWERS OF ATTORNEY
(a) Each Pledgor hereby, in order to fully secure the performance of its obligations hereunder,
irrevocably (subject to Clause 10 above) appoints the Pledgee and every person appointed by the
Pledgee hereunder to be its attorney (mandataire) acting severally, and on its behalf and in its name
or otherwise, to execute and do all such acts and things which that Pledgor is required to do and fails
to do under the provisions of this Pledge Agreement (including, without limitation, to make any
demand upon or to give any notice or receipt to any Debtor or any other person).
(b) Each Pledgor hereby agrees to ratify and confirm, if need be, whatever any such attorney (as referred
to in Clause 13(a) above) shall properly do or purport to do in the exercise or purported exercise of
all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions referred to in such clause.
(c) The Parties agree in accordance with article 2003 of the Luxembourg civil code that the powers of
attorney granted pursuant to this Clause 13 and Clause 17(d) do not terminate upon the occurrence of
bankruptcy (faillite) or similar Luxembourg or foreign law proceedings affecting the rights of
creditors generally in respect of the Pledgors (or any of them) or the Debtors (or any of them).
14. WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
No waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Pledgee.
No delay in or non-exercise of any right by the Pledgee shall constitute a waiver. Any waiver may be
on such terms as the Pledgee sees fit. The rights, powers and discretions of the Pledgee herein are
additional to and not exclusive of those provided by law, by any agreement with or other security in
favour of the Pledgee including the provisions set out in the Secured Documents.
15. COSTS
The Pledgors (or any of them) shall pay all the costs and expenses set out in section 7.07
(Compensation and Indemnity) of the Indenture and arising in relation with this Pledge Agreement.
16. NOTICES
All notices or other communications under this Pledge Agreement shall be sent in accordance with
section 13.01 (Notices) of the Indenture.
17. ASSIGNMENT
(a) None of the Pledgors may assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of their rights under this Pledge
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Pledgee. The Pledgee may assign, novate or
otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under this Pledge Agreement provided that such
0090900-0000011 LU:10935710.3 12
assignment, novation or transfer will be effected together with a parallel assignment, novation or
transfer under the Secured Documents. Such assignment, novation or other transfer by the Pledgee
shall be enforceable towards each Pledgor and third parties pursuant to the provisions of article 1690
of the Luxembourg civil code.
(b) In case of an assignment, novation or other transfer by the Pledgee or any other Secured Party to one
or several transferees of all or any part of the Secured Liabilities and/or of any other rights it may
have under any of the Secured Documents, to the extent required under applicable law (including for
the purpose of article 1278 of the Luxembourg civil code) and without prejudice to any other terms
hereof or of any other Secured Documents, the Pledgee and each Pledgor hereby agrees, that in any
such event, each Pledge and all rights under this Pledge Agreement shall be preserved, so that the
security constituted by this Pledge Agreement shall automatically, and without any formality, benefit
to any such transferees.
(c) This Pledge Agreement shall remain in effect despite any amalgamation, merger or demerger
(however effected) relating to the Pledgee or any of the other Secured Parties, and references to the
Pledgee or the other Secured Parties shall be deemed to include any assignee, transferee or successor
in title of the Pledgee or the Secured Parties and any person who, under any applicable law, has
assumed the rights and obligations of the Pledgee or the Secured Parties hereunder (or, as applicable,
under any other Secured Documents) or to which under such laws these rights and obligations have
been assigned, novated or transferred in any manner.
(d) To the extent a further notification, registration or any other step is required by law to give effect to
the above, such further notification or registration shall be made or such other step taken, and each
Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Pledgee as its attorney (mandataire), to make any
notifications and/or to proceed to any required registrations, and/or to take any other steps, and each
Pledgor undertakes to do so itself if so requested by the Pledgee.
18. ROLE OF THE PLEDGEE
(a) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to take any action in relation to this Agreement unless: (a)
directed in writing and as provided for in the Indenture; and (b) then only if it shall be indemnified
and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction against all out-of-pocket costs, losses, liabilities,
damages, claims (whether asserted by the Pledgor or any other person) or expenses (including
documented and reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of the Pledgee’s counsel)
to which it may render itself liable or which it may incur by doing so.
(b) The Pledgee executes this Pledge Agreement as collateral agent and trustee in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Indenture for and on behalf of the Secured
Parties for whom it acts. It will exercise its powers, rights, duties and authority under this Pledge
Agreement in the manner provided for in the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement and, in so
acting, the Pledgee shall have the protections, immunities, rights, powers, authorisations, indemnities
and benefits conferred on it under and by the Indenture.
(c) The Pledgee shall not owe any fiduciary duties to any party to this Pledge Agreement or any of their
directors, employees, agents or affiliates.
(d) the Pledgors acknowledge and agree that the appointment of the Pledgee and the rights, indemnities,
powers, protections, limitations of liability and duties thereof shall be governed by the Indenture and
the Intercreditor Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.

19. SEVERABILITY
If, at any time, any provision of this Pledge Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement nor of such provisions under the
law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
20. COUNTERPARTS
This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. This has the same effect as
if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Pledge Agreement.

None of the terms of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by
an instrument in writing, duly executed by or on behalf of the Parties.

(b) The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to and independent of every other security interest which
the Pledgee or any other Secured Party may at any time hold as security for the Secured Liabilities or
any rights, powers and remedies provided by law and shall not operate so as in any way to prejudice,

or otherwise agreed to be taken in respect of the obligations of any Grantor under the
Secured Documents; or
(iii) any failure to realise or to fully realise the value of, or any release, discharge, exchange or

impair or otherwise affect any of the obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Pledge
Agreement, the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Pledgee by this Pledge
Agreement, the Pledge or by law.

from, or to divide any action between and against, any other persons or enforce any guarantee or
security before enforcing the Pledge.
(g) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives any right of recourse, right, action and claim (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, by way of set-off or by way of protective measures such as a saisie-arrêt)
that it may have, whether by way of subrogation or directly or of any other nature, against any
Grantor and all or any of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of such Grantor, further to an
enforcement of the Pledge by any means whatsoever (including, in particular, the right of recourse
the Pledgor may have against any such entity under the terms of article 2028 et seq. of the
Luxembourg civil code). This waiver is effective in respect of any rights of the Pledgor which come
into existence prior to an enforcement in particular as a result of dividends or other distributions
being paid to the Pledgee. For the avoidance of doubt, this waiver is final and will subsist after the
expiry of the Security Period. This waiver is for the exclusive benefit of the Pledgee who has the
right to waive the benefit thereof by notice sent in writing by the Pledgee to the Pledgor and the
Companies (or any of them), which will have as an effect that the aforementioned rights of recourse
remain in existence as if never waived, without prejudice to the terms of any other Secured
Document.
(h) Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, without prejudice to Clause 4(g) above,
until:
(i) the end of the Security Period; or
(ii) the Pledgee otherwise directs,
the Pledgor shall not:
(A) be entitled (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to any rights of any Secured Party (or any
trustee or agent on its behalf) or be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in
respect of any security realised or enforced (in whole or in part) or moneys or value held,
received or receivable by any Secured Party hereunder, or
(B) claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Grantor or Grantor’s estate in competition
with any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf).

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:
6.1 Right to vote
(a) Without prejudice to Clauses 6.1(c) and 6.3 below, the Pledgor shall remain the owner of the Shares
and the voting rights attached to the Shares shall remain vested in the Pledgor in accordance with the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Pledgor shall not, without the Pledgee's prior written
consent, exercise (or refrain from exercising) its voting rights in respect of the Shares in any manner
which would adversely affect the Pledge (including, without limitation, in favour of any change in
the terms of the Shares) or cause an Event of Default to occur or in any manner which would breach
the Indenture.
(b) The Pledgor shall in addition perform any and all obligations imposed upon it in its capacity as
shareholder of each Company so as to preserve all rights conferred by the Shares.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to
elect, by notice sent in writing to each Company and the Pledgor, to exercise the voting rights in
relation to the Shares in any manner it deems fit for the purpose of protecting and/or enforcing its
rights under the Pledge Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt any voting rights with
0090900-0000011 LU:10935299.3 9
respect to resolutions relating to the dismissal, replacement and/or appointment of the managers
(gérants) of each Company). Upon such election by the Pledgee, which shall become effective
immediately upon the dispatching of the above notice unless otherwise expressed therein, the
Pledgor shall no longer be entitled to exercise any voting rights in relation to the Shares nor, for the
avoidance of doubt, to pass any resolution without the Pledgee's prior written consent. Further, upon
such election by the Pledgee, the Pledgor and each Company undertake to inform the Pledgee of any
meeting of the shareholders of the relevant Company, as well as of the agenda thereof or of any
proposed resolution in writing and the Pledgee shall then furthermore be entitled to exercise all rights
of the Pledgor in relation to the convening and/or holding of meetings of the shareholders of the
relevant Company or the adoption of shareholder's resolutions in writing or otherwise. Further, upon
such election by the Pledgee, the Pledgee shall in particular have the right to request the board of
managers (conseil de gérance) of the relevant Company to convene a meeting of the shareholders
and to request items to be put on or added to the agenda, to convene such meeting itself and/or to
propose and adopt resolutions in written form, to the extent permitted under applicable law. The
Pledgor shall upon the request of the Pledgee made while an Event of Default is continuing issue a
written confirmation that the Pledgee is entitled to exercise the above rights in any manner the
Pledgee deems fit for the purpose of protecting and/or enforcing its rights under this Pledge
Agreement. The Pledgor shall do whatever is necessary or useful (as reasonably requested by the
Pledgee) in order to ensure that the exercise of these rights is facilitated for the Pledgee, including
the issuing of a written confirmation in any form required under applicable law.
6.2 Right to dividend
(a) Unless an Event of Default is continuing, this Pledge Agreement does not affect any right of a
Pledgor to be entitled to receive any dividends and other distributions paid or to be paid by the
relevant Company on all or any of the Shares, unless the payment of such dividends or other
distributions is or becomes prohibited by the Indenture.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Pledgee shall have sole
entitlement to receive dividends and other distributions payable by each Company on all or any of
the Shares. To this effect, the Pledgor and the Pledgee agree that each Company is hereby directed
(and each Company, by signing this Pledge Agreement, accepts), if and when an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, to make direct payment of all such dividends and other distributions
to the Pledgee exclusively.
6.3 General entitlements attaching to the Shares
While an Event of Default is continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise, at its discretion
and if it so elects by notice in writing to the relevant Companies and the Pledgor, any and all rights
attaching to the Shares (or any part thereof) of any nature and whether arising by way of contract,
deed, law, constitutional documents, court order or otherwise.
7. LIABILITY TO PERFORM AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
(a) It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Pledge
Agreement, the Pledgor shall remain liable to observe and perform all of the conditions and
obligations assumed by it in respect of the Shares and the Pledgee shall be under no obligation or
liability in this respect. The Pledgee shall not be required in any manner to perform or fulfil any
obligations of the Pledgor in respect of the Shares, or to make any payment, or to make any enquiry
as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or take
any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to which it may have been or to
which it may be entitled hereunder at any time.
0090900-0000011 LU:10935299.3 10
(b) The Pledgor and each Company shall, upon the written request of the Pledgee, each at its own
expense, promptly and duly execute and perform all such assurances, acts and things as the Pledgee
may reasonably require as being necessary for perfecting or protecting all or any of the rights,
powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Pledgee under this
Pledge Agreement in relation to the Shares for facilitating the enforcement of any such rights or any
part thereof and in the exercise of all powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Pledgee. To
that effect, the Pledgor and each Company shall in particular promptly execute all documents or
instruments and give all notices, orders and directions and make all registrations reasonably
requested by the Pledgee which the Pledgee may acting reasonably think expedient.
8. ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGE
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:
(a) At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Pledgee is
entitled to enforce the Pledge immediately, at its absolute discretion, at the sole cost of the Pledgor,
and exercise any right under (i) applicable law (including, without limitation, article 11 of the
Collateral Act 2005) and/or (ii) this Pledge Agreement and to enforce all or any part of the Pledge in
respect of the Shares in any manner it sees fit.
The Pledgee shall, in particular, be entitled to:
(i) sell, or cause the sale of, the Shares (i) in a private sale (vente de gré à gré) at normal
commercial terms (conditions commerciales normales) or (ii) in a sale organised by a
stock exchange or regulated market (to be chosen by the Pledgee) or in a public sale
(organised in any manner the Pledgee sees fit and which, for the avoidance of doubt, does
not need to be made by or within a stock exchange or regulated market); or
(ii) appropriate the Shares at their fair value as determined by an independent auditor
(réviseur d'entreprises) of good repute, registered with the Luxembourg Institut des
Réviseurs d’Entreprises, appointed by the Pledgee on the basis of such available elements
and facts as deemed relevant by the independent auditor. The Pledgee may, at its sole
discretion, determine the date on which the appropriation becomes effective, including a
date before the valuation has been commenced or completed. The Pledgee can further
determine, at its sole discretion, that the right to appropriate all or part of the Shares be
exercised by one or more entities other than the Pledgee (including one or more special
purpose vehicles), it being understood that an appropriation of the Shares by such other
entity or entities shall be deemed to have the same effects under the Secured Documents
as if the Pledgee had proceeded with such appropriation; or
(iii) request that the Shares be attributed (attribution judiciaire) to the Pledgee pursuant to a
court order in discharge of the Secured Liabilities or any part thereof following a
valuation of the Shares made by a court appointed expert; or
(iv) use any other enforcement method to the widest extent permitted by applicable law; and
(v) act generally in relation to the Shares in such manner as the Pledgee acting reasonably
shall determine.
(b) The Pledgee shall have the right to request enforcement of the Pledge in respect of all or part of the
Shares at its absolute discretion, while an Event of Default is continuing. No action, choice or
absence of action in this respect, or partial enforcement, shall in any manner affect the Pledge as it
then shall be (and in particular those Shares which have not been subject to enforcement). The
0090900-0000011 LU:10935299.3 11
Pledge shall continue to remain in full and valid existence until enforcement, discharge or
termination hereof, as the case may be.
9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
Any monies or value received by the Pledgee in respect of the Shares before or following the
enforcement of the Pledge in accordance with Clause 8 above and subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement and/or under the rights and powers hereby conferred shall be applied by the
Pledgee, in and towards payment and discharge of the Secured Liabilities in accordance with section
4.2 (Application of Proceeds) of the Pledge and Security Agreement.
10. RELEASE OF THE PLEDGE
This Pledge Agreement and Pledge shall terminate when all the Secured Liabilities have been paid in
full in cash or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of section 12.03 of the Indenture.
At the end of the Security Period, the Pledgee must, at the written request and cost of the Pledgor,
inform the Company of such release, instruct it to record the release of the Pledge in the Company's
shareholders register.
11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
(a) Neither the Pledgee nor any of its agents shall be liable for any losses arising in connection with the
exercise of any of its rights, powers and discretions (including without limitation its rights, powers
and discretions in connection with the enforcement of the Pledge) hereunder save for any liability
arising from the gross negligence (faute lourde) or wilful misconduct (faute intentionnelle/dol) of the
Pledgee or its agents.
(b) The Pledgor will indemnify the Pledgee and every attorney which may be appointed, from time to
time, in respect of all liabilities and expenses incurred by it, him, her or them in the execution of any
rights, powers or discretions vested in it, him, her or them pursuant thereto save for liabilities and
expenses arising from the gross negligence (faute lourde) or wilful misconduct (faute
intentionnelle/dol) of the Pledgee or its attorney or both.
(c) The provisions of paragraph (b) above shall continue in force after the revocation or termination,
howsoever arising, of the power of attorney granted by the Pledgor pursuant to Clause 13 (Power of
Attorney).
12. DELEGATION BY THE PLEDGEE
(a) The Pledgee or any person appointed by the Pledgee may at any time and from time to time delegate
by power of attorney or in any other manner to any properly qualified person or persons all or any of
the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Pledgee under
this Pledge Agreement in relation to the Shares.
(b) Any such delegation may be made upon such terms (including a power of substitution) and subject to
such regulations as the Pledgee or such person appointed by the Pledgee may think fit. The Pledgee
shall as soon as practicable inform the Pledgor of the identity of the person appointed pursuant to this
Clause 12.
(c) The Pledgee or such person appointed by the Pledgee shall not be in any way liable or responsible to
the Pledgor for any loss or damage arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part
of any such delegate or sub-delegate except in the case of gross negligence (faute lourde) or wilful
misconduct (faute intentionnelle/dol).
0090900-0000011 LU:10935299.3 12
13. POWERS OF ATTORNEY
(a) The Pledgor hereby, in order to fully secure the performance of its obligations hereunder, irrevocably
(subject to Clause 10 above) appoints the Pledgee and every person appointed by the Pledgee
hereunder to be its attorney (mandataire) acting severally, and on its behalf and in its name or
otherwise, to execute and do all such acts and things which the Pledgor is required to do and fails to
do under the provisions of this Pledge Agreement (including, without limitation, to make any
demand upon or to give any notice or receipt to any Company or any other person).
(b) Each Company hereby irrevocably (subject to Clause 10 above) appoints the Pledgee and every
person appointed by the Pledgee hereunder to be its attorney (mandataire) acting severally, to make
in its name and on its behalf all filings and publications in the Register required to give effect to the
exercise by the Pledgee of its rights under this Pledge Agreement including, in particular, while an
Event of Default is continuing, any filings with the Register appointing or dismissing managers
(gérants) appointed in accordance with Clause 6.1(c) above and any transfer of ownership of the
Shares following an enforcement in accordance with Clause 8 above.
(c) The Pledgor and each Company hereby agree to ratify and confirm, if need be, whatever any such
attorney (as referred to in Clause 13(a) or 13(b) above) shall properly do or purport to do in the
exercise or purported exercise of all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions referred to in
such clause.
(d) The Parties agree in accordance with article 2003 of the Luxembourg civil code that the powers of
attorney granted pursuant to this Clause 13 and Clause 17(d) do not terminate upon the occurrence of
bankruptcy (faillite) or similar Luxembourg or foreign law proceedings affecting the rights of
creditors generally in respect of the Pledgor or the Companies (or any of them).
14. WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
No waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Pledgee.
No delay in or non-exercise of any right by the Pledgee shall constitute a waiver. Any waiver may be

additional to and not exclusive of those provided by law, by any agreement with or other security in
favour of the Pledgee including the provisions set out in the Secured Documents.

(a) The Pledgor may not assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Pledge
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Pledgee. The Pledgee may assign, novate or
otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under this Pledge Agreement provided that such
assignment, novation or transfer will be effected together with a parallel assignment, novation or
transfer under the Secured Documents. Such assignment, novation or other transfer by the Pledgee
shall be enforceable towards the Pledgor and third parties pursuant to the provisions of article 1690
of the Luxembourg civil code.
0090900-0000011 LU:10935299.3 13
(b) In case of an assignment, novation or other transfer by the Pledgee or any other Secured Party to one
or several transferees of all or any part of the Secured Liabilities and/or of any other rights it may
have under any of the Secured Documents, to the extent required under applicable law (including for
the purpose of article 1278 of the Luxembourg civil code) and without prejudice to any other terms
hereof or of any other Secured Documents, the Pledgee and the Pledgor hereby agrees, that in any
such event, this Pledge and all rights under the Pledge Agreement shall be preserved, so that the
security constituted by this Pledge Agreement shall automatically, and without any formality, benefit
to any such transferees.
(c) This Pledge Agreement shall remain in effect despite any amalgamation, merger or demerger
(however effected) relating to the Pledgee or any of the other Secured Parties, and references to the
Pledgee or the other Secured Parties shall be deemed to include any assignee, transferee or successor
in title of the Pledgee or the Secured Parties and any person who, under any applicable law, has
assumed the rights and obligations of the Pledgee or the Secured Parties hereunder (or, as applicable,
under any other Secured Documents) or to which under such laws these rights and obligations have
been assigned, novated or transferred in any manner.
(d) To the extent a further notification, registration or any other step is required by law to give effect to
the above, such further notification or registration shall be made or such other step taken, and the
Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Pledgee as its attorney (mandataire), to make any
notifications and/or to proceed to any required registrations, and/or to take any other steps, and the
Pledgor undertakes to do so itself if so requested by the Pledgee.

directed in writing and as provided for in the Indenture; and (b) then only if it shall be indemnified
and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction against all out-of-pocket costs, losses, liabilities,
damages, claims (whether asserted by the Pledgor or any other person) or expenses (including
documented and reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of the Pledgee’s counsel)
to which it may render itself liable or which it may incur by doing so.
(b) The Pledgee executes this Pledge Agreement as collateral agent and trustee in the exercise of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Indenture for and on behalf of the Secured
Parties for whom it acts. It will exercise its powers, rights, duties and authority under this Pledge
Agreement in the manner provided for in the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement and, in so
