For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the series of Notes provided for herein by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the series of Notes provided for herein, as follows:

For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, all words, terms or phrases used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
“Authorized Officers” has the meaning specified in Section 5.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.
“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the city of Toronto.
“Canada Yield Price” means in respect of any redemption of the Offered Notes, a price calculated to provide a yield to the Par Call Date, compounded semi-annually and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, equal to the Government of Canada Yield on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Offered Notes, plus 27.5 basis points.
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after the date of issuance of the Offered Notes:
(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the Company’s Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock;
(3) the Company consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges or amalgamates with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or
(4) the adoption by the Company’s shareholders of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.
| 2 |
“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Offered Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). However, a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Change in Control Triggering Event). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for such Offered Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Offered Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.
“Consolidated Current Liabilities” means the aggregate of the current liabilities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding liabilities of Unrestricted Subsidiaries and excluding xxxxxxxx on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs and profits) appearing on the most recent available consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that in no event shall Consolidated Current Liabilities include any obligation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries issued under a revolving credit or similar agreement if the obligation issued under such agreement matures by its terms within 12 months from the date thereof but by the terms of such agreement such obligation may be renewed or extended or the amount thereof reborrowed or refunded at the option of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for a term in excess of 12 months from the date of determination.
“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means Consolidated Tangible Assets after deduction of Consolidated Current Liabilities.
“Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity” means at any date the shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis as of such date in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided that, for purposes hereof, the consolidated shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall be calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of ASC 715-Compensation-Retirement Benefits or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.
“Consolidated Subsidiary” means, as to any Person, each subsidiary of such Person (whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired) the financial statements of which shall be (or should have been) consolidated with the financial statements of such Person in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
“Executed Documentation” has the meaning specified in Section 5.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.

“Instructions” has the meaning specified in Section 5.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.
“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Xxxxx’x (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company under the circumstances permitting the Company to select a replacement rating agency and in the manner for selecting a replacement rating agency, in each case as set forth in the definition of “Rating Agency.”

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if any of Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors, the Company may appoint another “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act as a replacement for such Rating Agency; provided that the Company shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee.

Any Additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably with the Offered Notes then Outstanding and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture. From and after the issue date of any Additional Notes, any reference herein to “Offered Notes” shall include such Additional Notes.

Except with respect to Additional Notes as provided in this Section 2.02, the Company shall not execute and the Trustee shall not authenticate or deliver Offered Notes in excess of such aggregate principal amount.
Nothing contained in this Section 2.02 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in the Offered Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Company or authentication or delivery by the Trustee of the Offered Notes under the circumstances contemplated in Section 3.07, 3.08, 4.03 and 11.04 of the Indenture.

(10) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Security Interest permitted by subsection (a) of this Section 3.01.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 3.01, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may, in addition, without securing the Offered Notes, issue, assume or guarantee Secured Debt that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (but not including Secured Debt permitted to be secured under subsection (a) above) and the aggregate value of the Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 3.02) in existence at such time (not including Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which have been or will be applied in accordance with clause (b) of Section 3.02), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, determined as of a date not more than 90 days prior thereto.
(c) In the event that the Company shall hereafter secure the Offered Notes equally and ratably with any other obligation or indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01, the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an indenture or agreement supplemental to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce effectively the rights of the Holders of the Offered Notes so secured, equally and ratably with such other obligation or indebtedness.
SECTION 3.02 Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
So long as the Offered Notes shall remain Outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (except to the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, or both) any Principal Property owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and in full operation for more than 365 days, with the intention of taking back a lease on such property (except a lease for a term of no more than three years entered into with the intent that the use by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be discontinued on or before the expiration of such term) (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) unless either (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01, to incur Secured Debt equal in amount to the amount realized or to be realized upon such sale or transfer secured by a Security Interest on the Principal Property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Offered Notes or (b) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the value of the Principal Property so leased to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement), within 365 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, of indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding indebtedness for money borrowed of Unrestricted Subsidiaries) as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company and which, in the case of such indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company, is not subordinated to the Offered Notes; provided, however, that in lieu of applying all or any part of such amount to such retirement, the Company may at its option (x) deliver to the Trustee Notes of any series issued under the Indenture (including the Offered Notes) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or (y) receive credit for Notes of any series issued under the Indenture (including the Offered Notes) theretofore redeemed at its option. If the Company shall so deliver Notes to the Trustee (or receive credit for Notes so delivered), the amount which the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of indebtedness pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Notes.
| 10 |
SECTION 3.03 Restrictions on Transfer of Principal Property to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
So long as the Offered Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will not itself, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer (whether by merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) Principal Property that has a gross book value (without deduction for any depreciation reserves) at the date as of which the determination is being made in excess of two percent of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless it shall apply, within one year after the effective date of such transaction, or shall have committed within one year after such effective date to apply, an amount equal to the fair value of such Principal Property at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of Directors, (a) to the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which are, or, upon, such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or Properties or a part thereof, (b) to the redemption of Notes of any series in accordance with the provisions of Article Four of the Indenture, (c) to the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such indebtedness owed to any Restricted Subsidiary or any subordinated indebtedness of the Company), or (d) in part to an acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment, in each case as set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above; provided that, in lieu of applying an amount equivalent to all or any part of such fair value to such redemption, the Company may, within one year after such transfer, deliver to the Trustee Notes (other than Notes made the basis of reduction in a mandatory sinking fund payment pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Indenture) for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of the Notes of that series pursuant to clause (b) above by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so delivered. The fair value of any Principal Property for purposes of this Section 3.03 will be as determined by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.04 Right to Require Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Offered Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Offered Notes in whole in accordance with the provisions of Article IV hereof by giving irrevocable notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, each Holder of Offered Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Offered Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of Offered Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Offered Notes electing to have Offered Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Offered Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Offered Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Offered Notes or portions of Offered Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) at or prior to 10:00 a.m., city of Toronto time, deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Offered Notes or portions of Offered Notes properly tendered; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Offered Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Offered Notes or portions of Offered Notes being repurchased.
The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Offered Notes if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Offered Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Offered Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment on the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Company must comply in all material respects with applicable Canadian securities legislation to the extent such legislation is applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Offered Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities legislation conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Offered Notes, the Company shall be required to comply with such securities legislation and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Offered Notes by virtue of any such conflict.
