PENGROWTH ENERGY CORPORATION
(A corporation existing under the laws of Alberta)
6.75% CONVERTIBLE EXTENDIBLE UNSECURED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
DUE AUGUST 31, 2012
PENGROWTH ENERGY CORPORATION (the "Corporation") for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and, subject to the provisions of the note indenture (the "Original Indenture") dated as of August 28, 2007 between the Corporation, as Successor to NAL Energy Corporation, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Debenture Trustee"), as amended and restated pursuant to a second supplemental note indenture dated December 31, 2010 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture"), as further amended pursuant to a fourth supplemental note indenture dated May 31, 2012 (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture", and, together with the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the "Indenture"), promises to pay to the registered holder hereof on the maturity date of this 6.75% Debenture, as hereinafter described, or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the principal sum of $· in lawful money of Canada on presentation and surrender of this 6.75% Debenture at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The maturity date (the "Maturity Date") for the 6.75% Debentures shall be August 31, 2012. The 6.75% Debentures shall, subject as herein provided, bear interest on the principal amount hereof from the date hereof, or from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment hereon, whichever is later, at the rate of 6.75% per annum, in like money, in arrears in semi-annual installments (less any tax required by law to be deducted) on February 28 and August 31 in each year commencing on February 28, 2008 and the last payment (representing interest payable from the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or earlier date of redemption) to fall due on the Maturity Date and, should the Corporation at any time make default in the payment of any principal or interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, in like money and on the same dates. For certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued from August 28, 2007 to, but excluding, February 28, 2008, which will be equal to $33.84 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 6.75% Debentures. Interest hereon shall be payable by cheque mailed by prepaid ordinary mail to the registered holder hereof or by electronic transfer of funds to the registered holder hereof and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the mailing of such cheque or the sending of such
A-2
electronic transfer of funds shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax withheld), satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on this 6.75% Debenture.
This 6.75% Debenture is one of the Debentures of the Corporation issued or issuable in one or more series under the provisions of the Indenture. The 6.75% Debentures authorized for issue immediately are limited to an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 in lawful money of Canada. Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the 6.75% Debentures are or are to be issued and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the 6.75% Debentures and of the Corporation and of the Debenture Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the holder of this 6.75% Debenture by acceptance hereof assents.
The 6.75% Debentures are issuable only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, Debentures of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in any other authorized denomination or denominations.
Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal of this 6.75% Debenture, provided that the principal amount of this 6.75% Debenture is in a denomination in excess of $1,000, is convertible, at the option of the holder hereof, upon surrender of this 6.75% Debenture at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario at any time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date or, if this 6.75% Debenture is called for redemption on or prior to such date, then up to but not after the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date specified for redemption of this 6.75% Debenture, into Common Shares (without adjustment for interest accrued hereon or for dividends on Common Shares issuable upon conversion) at a conversion price of $16.2791 (the "Conversion Price") per Common Share, being a conversion rate of approximately 61.4285 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of 6.75% Debentures so converted, all subject to the terms and conditions and in the manner set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture provides for adjustment of the Conversion Price in the events therein specified. No fractional Common Shares will be issued on any conversion but in lieu thereof, the Corporation will satisfy such fractional interest by a cash payment equal to the market price of such fractional interest determined in accordance with the Indenture. No adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion will be made for dividends on Common Shares issuable upon conversion or for interest accrued on 6.75% Debentures surrendered for conversion. Holders converting their 6.75% Debentures will receive interest which has accrued from and including the most recently completed Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of conversion.
The 6.75% Debentures will be redeemable in accordance with the terms of Article 4, provided that the 6.75% Debentures will not be redeemable prior to August 31, 2010, except in the event of the satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control has occurred as outlined herein. Subsequent to August 31, 2010, the 6.75% Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation in whole or in part from time to time on notice as provided for in Section 4.3 at a price equal to $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount of Debenture on or after September 1, 2010 and on or before August 31, 2011 and, at a price equal to $1,025 per $1,000 principal amount of Debenture on or after September 1, 2011 and before maturity, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Corporation may, on notice as provided in the Indenture, at its option and subject to any applicable regulatory approval, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay all or any portion of the applicable Redemption Price by the issue of that number of Common Shares obtained by dividing the applicable Redemption Price by 95% of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the Redemption Date.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation, the Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase all of the 6.75% Debentures at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 6.75% Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date the 6.75% Debentures are so repurchased (the "Offer"). If 90% or more of the principal amount of all Debentures outstanding on the date the Corporation provides notice of a Change of Control to the Debenture Trustee have been tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer, the Corporation has the right to redeem all the remaining outstanding 6.75% Debentures on the same date and at the same price.
If a takeover bid for 6.75% Debentures, within the meaning of the Securities Act (Alberta), is made and 90% or more of the principal amount of all the 6.75% Debentures (other than 6.75% Debentures held at the date of the

The indebtedness evidenced by this 6.75% Debenture, and by all other 6.75% Debentures now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct unsecured obligation of the Corporation, and is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, to the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness (including any indebtedness to trade creditors), whether outstanding at the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed.

No transfer of this 6.75% Debenture shall be valid unless made on the register by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Debenture Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Debenture Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this 6.75% Debenture for cancellation. Thereupon a new 6.75% Debenture or 6.75% Debentures in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.
This 6.75% Debenture shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been certified by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture.

(A corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta)
6.25% CONVERTIBLE UNSECURED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
DUE DECEMBER 31, 2014
PENGROWTH ENERGY CORPORATION (the "Corporation") for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and, subject to the provisions of the note indenture (the "Original Indenture") dated as of August 28, 2007 between the Corporation, as Successor to NAL Energy Corporation, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Debenture Trustee"), as amended by a first supplemental note indenture (the "First Supplemental Indenture") dated December 3, 2009, in each case as amended and restated pursuant to a second supplemental note indenture dated December 31, 2010 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture"), as further amended pursuant to a fourth supplemental note indenture dated May 31, 2012 (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture", and, together with the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the "Indenture"), promises to pay to the registered holder hereof on December 31, 2014 (the "Maturity Date") or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the principal sum of $· in lawful money of Canada on presentation and surrender of this 6.25% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debenture (the "6.25% Series A Debenture") at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The 6.25% Series A Debentures shall, subject as herein provided, bear interest on the principal amount hereof from the date hereof, or from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment hereon, whichever is later, at the rate of 6.25% per annum, in like money, in arrears in semi-annual installments (less any tax required by law to be deducted) on June 30 and December 31 in each year commencing on June 30, 2010 and the last payment (representing interest payable from the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or earlier date of redemption) to fall due on the Maturity Date and, should the Corporation at any time make default in the payment of any principal or interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, in like money and on the same dates. For certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued from December 3, 2009 to, but excluding, June 30, 2010, which will be equal to $35.79 for each
F-2
$1,000 principal amount of the 6.25% Series A Debentures. Interest hereon shall be payable by cheque mailed by prepaid ordinary mail to the registered holder hereof or by electronic transfer of funds to the registered holder hereof and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the mailing of such cheque or the sending of such electronic transfer of funds shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax withheld), satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on this 6.25% Series A Debenture.
This 6.25% Series A Debenture is one of the Debentures of the Corporation issued or issuable in one or more series under the provisions of the Indenture. The 6.25% Series A Debentures authorized for issue immediately are limited to an aggregate principal amount of $115,000,000 in lawful money of Canada. Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the 6.25% Series A Debentures are or are to be issued and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the 6.25% Series A Debentures and of the Corporation and of the Debenture Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the holder of this 6.25% Series A Debenture by acceptance hereof assents.
The 6.25% Series A Debentures are issuable only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, Debentures of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in any other authorized denomination or denominations.
Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal of this 6.25% Series A Debenture, provided that the principal amount of this 6.25% Series A Debenture is in a denomination in excess of $1,000, is convertible, at the option of the holder hereof, upon surrender of this 6.25% Series A Debenture at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario at any time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date or, if this 6.25% Series A Debenture is called for redemption on or prior to such date, then up to but not after the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date specified for redemption of this 6.25% Series A Debenture, into Common Shares (without adjustment for interest accrued hereon or for dividends on Common Shares issuable upon conversion) at a conversion price of $19.1860 (the "Conversion Price") per Common Share, being a conversion rate of approximately 52.1213 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of 6.25% Series A Debentures so converted, all subject to the terms and conditions and in the manner set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture provides for adjustment of the Conversion Price in the events therein specified. No fractional Common Shares will be issued on any conversion but in lieu thereof, the Corporation will satisfy such fractional interest by a cash payment equal to the market price of such fractional interest determined in accordance with the Indenture. No adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion will be made for dividends on Common Shares issuable upon conversion or for interest accrued on 6.25% Series A Debentures surrendered for conversion. Holders converting their 6.25% Series A Debentures will receive interest which has accrued from and including the most recently completed Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of conversion.
The 6.25% Series A Debentures will be redeemable in accordance with the terms of Article 4 of the Indenture, provided that the 6.25% Series A Debentures will not be redeemable on or prior to December 31, 2012, except in the event of the satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control has occurred as outlined herein. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the 6.25% Series A Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation in whole or in part from time to time on notice as provided for in Section 4.3 of the Indenture at a price equal to $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount of Debenture on or after January 1, 2013 and on or before December 31, 2013 and at a price equal to $1,025 per $1,000 principal amount of Debenture on or after January 1, 2014 and before maturity, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Corporation may, on notice as provided in the Indenture, at its option and subject to any applicable regulatory approval, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay all or any portion of the applicable Redemption Price by the issue of that number of Common Shares obtained by dividing the applicable Redemption Price by 95% of the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the Redemption Date.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation, the Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase all of the 6.25% Series A Debentures at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 6.25% Series A Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date the 6.25% Series A Debentures are so repurchased (the "Offer"). If 90% or more of the principal amount of all Debentures outstanding on the date the Corporation provides notice of a Change of Control to the Debenture Trustee have been tendered for purchase
F-3
pursuant to the Offer, the Corporation has the right to redeem all the remaining outstanding 6.25% Series A Debentures on the same date and at the same price.
If a takeover bid for 6.25% Series A Debentures, within the meaning of the Securities Act (Alberta), is made and 90% or more of the principal amount of all of the 6.25% Series A Debentures (other than 6.25% Series A Debentures held at the date of the takeover bid by or on behalf of the Offeror, Associates or Affiliates of the Offeror or anyone acting jointly or in concert with the Offeror) are taken up and paid for by the Offeror, the Offeror will be entitled to acquire the 6.25% Series A Debentures of those holders who did not accept the offer on the same terms as the Offeror acquired the first 90% of the principal amount of the 6.25% Series A Debentures.
The Corporation may, on notice as provided in the Indenture, at its option and subject to any applicable regulatory approval, elect to satisfy the obligation to repay all or any portion of the principal amount of this 6.25% Series A Debenture due on the Maturity Date by the issue of that number of Freely Tradeable Common Shares obtained by dividing the principal amount and premium (if any) of this 6.25% Series A Debenture to be paid for in Common Shares pursuant to the exercise by the Corporation of the Unit Repayment Right by 95% of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the Maturity Date.
The indebtedness evidenced by this 6.25% Series A Debenture, and by all other 6.25% Series A Debentures now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct unsecured obligation of the Corporation, and is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, to the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness (including any indebtedness to trade creditors), whether outstanding at the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed.
The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable before the stated maturity in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at the times provided in the Indenture.
Any payment of money or transfer of Common Shares to any holder of Debentures will be reduced by the amount of applicable withholding tax, if any. The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders of Debentures outstanding thereunder (or in certain circumstances specific series of Debentures) resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of Debentures outstanding (or specific series), which resolutions or instruments may have the effect of amending the terms of this 6.25% Series A Debenture or the Indenture.
This 6.25% Series A Debenture may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in the registers to be kept at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary or Toronto and in such other place or places and/or by such other registrars (if any) as the Corporation with the approval of the Debenture Trustee may designate. No transfer of this 6.25% Series A Debenture shall be valid unless made on the register by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Debenture Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Debenture Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this 6.25% Series A Debenture for cancellation. Thereupon a new 6.25% Series A Debenture or 6.25% Series A Debentures in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.
This 6.25% Series A Debenture shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been certified by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture.
Capitalized words or expressions used in this 6.25% Series A Debenture shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
If any of the provisions of this 6.25% Series A Debenture are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall take precedence and shall govern.

PENGROWTH ENERGY CORPORATION
(A corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta)
6.25% CONVERTIBLE UNSECURED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
DUE MARCH 31, 2017
PENGROWTH ENERGY CORPORATION (the "Corporation") for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and, subject to the provisions of the note indenture (the "Original Indenture") dated as of August 28, 2007 between the Corporation, as Successor to NAL Energy Corporation, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Debenture Trustee"), as amended by a first supplemental note indenture dated December 3, 2009 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), as amended and restated by a second supplemental note indenture dated December 31, 2010 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture"), as amended by a third supplemental note indenture dated February 21, 2012 (the "Third Supplemental Indenture"), and as further amended pursuant to a fourth supplemental note indenture dated May 31, 2012 (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture", and, together with the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the "Indenture") promises to pay to the registered holder hereof on March 31, 2017 (the "Maturity Date") or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the principal sum of $· in lawful money of Canada on presentation and surrender of this 6.25% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debenture due March 31, 2017 (the "6.25% Series B Debenture") at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The 6.25% Series B Debentures shall, subject as herein provided, bear interest on the principal amount hereof from the date hereof, or from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment hereon, whichever is later, at the rate of 6.25% per annum, in like money, in arrears in semi-annual instalments (less any tax required by law to be deducted) on March 31 and September 30 in each year commencing on September 30, 2012 and the last payment (representing interest payable from the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or earlier date of redemption) to fall due on the Maturity Date and, should the Corporation at any time make default in the payment of any principal or interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, in like money and on the same dates. For certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued from February 21, 2012 to, but excluding, September 30, 2012, which will be equal to $38.0137 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 6.25% Series B Debentures. Interest hereon shall be payable by cheque mailed by prepaid ordinary mail to the registered holder hereof or by electronic transfer of funds to the registered holder hereof and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the mailing of such cheque or the sending of such electronic transfer of funds shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax withheld), satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on this 6.25% Series B Debenture.
This 6.25% Series B Debenture is one of the Debentures of the Corporation issued or issuable in one or more series under the provisions of the Indenture. The 6.25% Series B Debentures authorized for issue immediately are limited to an aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 in lawful money of Canada. Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the 6.25% Series B Debentures are or are to be issued and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the 6.25% Series B Debentures and of the Corporation and of the Debenture Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the holder of this 6.25% Series B Debenture by acceptance hereof assents.
The 6.25% Series B Debentures are issuable only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, 6.25% Series B Debentures of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Series B Debentures in any other authorized denomination or denominations.
Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal amount of this 6.25% Series B Debenture, provided that the principal amount of this 6.25% Series B Debenture is in a denomination in excess of $1,000, is convertible, at the option of the holder hereof, upon surrender of this 6.25% Series B Debenture at the principal
J-3
office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario at any time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date or, if this 6.25% Series B Debenture is called for redemption or repurchase on or prior to such date, then up to but not after the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date specified for redemption or repurchase of this 6.25% Series B Debenture, into Common Shares (without adjustment for interest accrued hereon or for dividends on Common Shares issuable upon conversion) at a conversion price of $11.5116 (the "Conversion Price") per Common Share, being a conversion rate of approximately 86.8689 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of 6.25% Series B Debentures so converted, all subject to the terms and conditions and in the manner set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture provides for adjustment of the Conversion Price in the events therein specified. No fractional Common Shares will be issued on any conversion but in lieu thereof, the Corporation will satisfy such fractional interest by a cash payment equal to the market price of such fractional interest determined in accordance with the Indenture. Except as set forth in the Indenture, no adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion will be made for dividends on Common Shares issuable upon conversion or for interest accrued on 6.25% Series B Debentures surrendered for conversion. Holders converting their 6.25% Series B Debentures will receive interest which has accrued from and including the most recently completed Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of conversion.
The 6.25% Series B Debentures will be redeemable in accordance with the terms of Article 4 of the Original Indenture and Article 2 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, provided that the 6.25% Series B Debentures will not be redeemable prior to March 31, 2015, except in the event of the satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control has occurred as outlined herein. On or after March 31, 2015 and prior to maturity, the 6.25% Series B Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation in whole or in part from time to time on notice as provided for in Section 4.3 of the Indenture at a price equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of 6.25% Series B Debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, provided that the Current Market Price on the date immediately preceding the date on which the Redemption Notice is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. The Corporation may, on notice as provided in the Indenture, at its option and subject to any applicable regulatory approval, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay all or any portion of the applicable Redemption Price by the issue of that number of Common Shares obtained by dividing the applicable Redemption Price by 95% of the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the Redemption Date.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation, the Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase, in whole or in part, all of the 6.25% Series B Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 6.25% Series B Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date the 6.25% Series B Debentures are so repurchased (the "Offer"). If 90% or more of the principal amount of all 6.25% Series B Debentures outstanding on the date the Corporation provides notice of a Change of Control to the Debenture Trustee have been tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer, the Corporation has the right to redeem all the remaining outstanding 6.25% Series B Debentures on the same date and at the same price. Subject to regulatory approval, upon the occurrence of a Cash Change of Control, during the Cash Change of Control Conversion Period, holders of 6.25% Series B Debentures will be entitled to convert their 6.25% Series B Debentures, in whole or in part, and receive an additional number of Common Shares (or cash or other property or securities in substitution therefor) per $1,000 principal amount of 6.25% Series B Debentures as set forth in the Indenture.
If a takeover bid for the 6.25% Series B Debentures, within the meaning of the Securities Act (Alberta), is made and 90% or more of the principal amount of all of the 6.25% Series B Debentures (other than 6.25% Series B Debentures held at the date of the takeover bid by or on behalf of the Offeror, Associates or Affiliates of the Offeror or anyone acting jointly or in concert with the Offeror) are taken up and paid for by the Offeror, the Offeror will be entitled to acquire the 6.25% Series B Debentures of those holders who did not accept the offer on the same terms as the Offeror acquired the first 90% of the principal amount of the 6.25% Series B Debentures.
The Corporation may, on notice as provided in the Indenture, at its option and subject to any applicable regulatory approval, elect to satisfy the obligation to repay all or any portion of the principal amount of this 6.25% Series B Debenture due on the Maturity Date by the issue of that number of Freely Tradeable Common Shares obtained by dividing the principal amount and premium (if any) of this 6.25% Series B Debenture to be paid for in Common Shares pursuant to the exercise by the Corporation of the Share Repayment Right by 95% of the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the Maturity Date.
J-4
The indebtedness evidenced by this 6.25% Series B Debenture, and by all other 6.25% Series B Debentures now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct unsecured obligation of the Corporation, and is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, to the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness (including any indebtedness to trade creditors), whether outstanding at the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed.
The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable before the stated maturity in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at the times provided in the Indenture.
Any payment of money or transfer of Common Shares to any holder of 6.25% Series B Debentures will be reduced by the amount of applicable withholding tax, if any. The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders of Debentures outstanding thereunder (or in certain circumstances specific series of Debentures) resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of Debentures outstanding (or specific series), which resolutions or instruments may have the effect of amending the terms of this 6.25% Series B Debenture or the Indenture.
This 6.25% Series B Debentures may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in the registers to be kept at the principal office of the Debenture Trustee in Calgary or Toronto and in such other place or places and/or by such other registrars (if any) as the Corporation with the approval of the Debenture Trustee may designate. No transfer of this 6.25% Series B Debenture shall be valid unless made on the register by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Debenture Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Debenture Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this 6.25% Series B Debenture for cancellation. Thereupon a new 6.25% Series B Debenture or 6.25% Series B Debenture in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.
This 6.25% Series B Debenture shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been certified by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture.
Capitalized words or expressions used in this 6.25% Series B Debenture shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
If any of the provisions of this 6.25% Series B Debenture are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall take precedence and shall govern.
