Resale Restrictions:

Resale of the Notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws, which may vary depending on the province.

Prospective purchasers should consult their own independent legal advisors with respect to such restrictions. The Notes are a new issue of securities for which no established trading market exists.

The representations and warranties in this subsection (ii) do not apply to statements or omissions in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use therein or to those parts of the Registration Statement which constitute the Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 under the 1939 Act (the “Form T-1”).

Schedule II

The offer and sale of the Debt Securities by the Company to the Underwriters and the offer and resale of the Debt Securities by the Underwriters to purchasers resident in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Québec (the “Selling Jurisdictions”) are exempt from the prospectus requirements of the Securities Act (Alberta), the Securities Act (British Columbia), the Securities Act (Ontario) and the Securities Act (Québec) and no prospectus is required nor are other documents required to be filed, proceedings taken or approvals, permits, consents or authorizations of regulatory authorities obtained under the Canadian Securities Laws, including all rules and published policy statements of the Selling Jurisdictions, by the Company to permit the offer and sale of the Debt Securities by the Company to the Underwriters and the offer and resale of the Debt Securities by the Underwriters to the purchasers resident in the Selling Jurisdictions through persons (x) registered under such Canadian Securities Laws in categories permitting them to distribute the Debt Securities who have complied with Canadian Securities Laws and the terms and conditions of their registration or (y) exempt from the dealer registration requirements under applicable Canadian Securities Laws who have complied with Canadian Securities Laws and the terms and conditions of the applicable exemption, subject to: the filing by the Company, with respect to each purchaser resident in the Selling Jurisdictions, of duly completed reports pursuant to Part 6 of NI 45-106 with the applicable securities regulator or securities regulatory authority, together with the applicable fees within the prescribed time periods and (ii) in Ontario, delivery of the Canadian Offering Memorandum to the Ontario Securities Commission.

(h) Other Documents. On the Closing Date, counsel to the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as such counsel may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling such counsel to pass upon the issuance and sale of Debt Securities as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and warranties or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein contained.

If any condition specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that (i) the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters and (ii) the provisions set forth in Sections 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18 and 19 hereof shall remain in effect.

6. Covenants of the Company. In further consideration of the several agreements of the Underwriters contained herein, the Company covenants and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) Notice of Certain Events. The Company will notify the Representatives promptly of (i) the filing or effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement (other than a post-effective amendment relating solely to an offering of

Schedule II

securities other than the Debt Securities), (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than a supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Debt Securities), (iii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (other than any comments relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Debt Securities), (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information (other than any such request relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Debt Securities), (v) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (vi) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Debt Securities, and (vii) the issuance of any order, ruling or decision of any Canadian federal or provincial court or securities regulatory authority restricting or ceasing trading in any of the securities of the Company or suspending or preventing the use of the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum or the receipt of any notification from any Canadian federal or provincial court or securities regulatory authority of the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if any such stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time unless the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine that it is not in it best interest to do so. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Debt Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Regulations and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of the Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)). The Company will cause to be provided or filed with the applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities authorities all information, forms and fees required to be provided or filed by it in connection with the offering of Debt Securities in Canada, including the filing of the Canadian Offering Memorandum, if required, and the reports of trade on Form 45-106F1 or equivalent required under applicable Canadian Securities Laws together with the applicable fees, in each case, within the applicable time periods for the provision or filing thereof, provided that the Underwriters have provided to the Company the information required to be delivered by the Underwriters in accordance with Section 20(b)(8) of this Agreement.

(b) Notice of Certain Proposed Filings. During the period from and including the date of the Underwriting Agreement through and including the Closing Date, at or prior to the filing thereof the Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Debt Securities), whether by the filing of documents pursuant to the 1934 Act, the 1933 Act or otherwise, and will furnish the Underwriters with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel to the Underwriters shall reasonably

Schedule II

object, unless, in the judgment of the Company or its counsel, such amendment or supplement or other document is necessary to comply with law. Unless otherwise notified by the Representatives, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of an offering of Debt Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 prior to the close of business within two days following the date such final terms are established.

(c) Copies of the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum. The Company will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum and the Canadian Offering Memorandum (in each case as amended or supplemented) as the Representatives shall reasonably request so long as the Underwriters are required to deliver a Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the 1933 Act Regulations) or Canadian Offering Memorandum in connection with sales or solicitations of offers to purchase the Debt Securities.

(d) Revisions of Registration Statement and Prospectus—Material Changes. So long as the Underwriters are required to deliver a Prospectus, (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the 1933 Act Regulations) in connection with sales of the Debt Securities, if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, after consultation with counsel for the Underwriters, to amend or supplement the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum in order that the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, as applicable, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, prompt notice shall be given, and confirmed in writing, to the Representatives, and the Company will prepare and file as soon as practicable such amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, as applicable, as may be necessary to correct such misstatement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, as applicable, comply with such requirements and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing as the Underwriters may reasonably request. The filing of any such amendment or supplement shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 or of Section 11(i) hereof. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Debt Securities), the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

Schedule II

(e) Compliance with 1934 Act. The Company, during the period when the Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the 1933 Act Regulations) is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, will comply, in a timely manner, with all applicable requirements under the 1934 Act relating to the filing with the Commission of the Company’s reports pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and, if then applicable, the Company’s proxy statements pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act.

(f) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 15 months after the Closing Date, a consolidated earnings statement (which need not be audited), which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations).

(g) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Debt Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states in the United States as the Representatives may reasonably designate, and will maintain such qualifications in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of the Debt Securities; provided, however, that the Company will promptly notify the Representatives of any suspension or termination of any such qualifications; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(h) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Debt Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. Any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall be considered an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Representatives.

7. Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act as follows:

Schedule II

(a) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), as incurred, insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arises out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package (or any part thereof), the Canadian Offering Memorandum, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(b) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(c) against any and all expense whatsoever (including, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), as incurred, reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission;

provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (A) to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon the Form T-1 under the 1939 Act filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; or (B) as to which such Underwriter may be required to indemnify the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.

8. Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7 hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package (or any part thereof), the Canadian Offering Memorandum, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Canadian Offering Memorandum, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus.

Schedule II

9. General. In case any action, suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought against any Underwriter or any person controlling such Underwriter, based upon the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Canadian Offering Memorandum, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus and with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 7, such Underwriter or controlling person shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Representatives) and payment of all expenses. Any such Underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such controlling person unless (A) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Company, (B) the Company shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (C) the named parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) shall include both such Underwriter or such controlling person and the Company, and such Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from, or additional to, those available to the Company (in which case, if such Underwriter or such controlling person notifies the Company in writing that it selects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Underwriter or such controlling person, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Underwriters and such controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives on behalf of all of such Underwriters and such controlling persons).

In case any action, suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought against the Company, any of the Company’s directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, with respect to which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to Section 8, such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by the first paragraph of this Section 9, and the Company, the Company’s directors and officers and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by the first paragraph of this Section 9; provided that, in the event that the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person shall have the right to employ, and shall have elected to employ, separate counsel at the expense of such Underwriter under the circumstances set forth in this Section 9, any such counsel shall be designated in writing by the Company.

10. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 7 or 8 hereof, as the case may be, is for any reason held to be unenforceable with respect to the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to

Schedule II

the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Underwriters, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Debt Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required pursuant to Section 9 hereof or pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 10, then the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to such aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by the Company and the Underwriters, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Debt Securities shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Debt Securities received by the Company (before deducting expenses) bear to the total commissions or other compensation or remuneration received by the Underwriters in respect thereof. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Debt Securities purchased by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several and not joint, and shall be in proportion to the principal amount of Debt Securities set forth opposite their respective names in the Underwriting Agreement. For purposes of this Section 10, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10, will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 10, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 10, except to the extent that the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought have been materially prejudiced through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by such failure; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party or parties from any obligation that it or they may have otherwise than under this Section 10; and provided, further, that such notice need not be given if such party entitled to contribution hereunder has previously given notice pursuant to Section 9 hereof with respect to the same action, suit or proceeding.

Schedule II

11. Termination. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time prior to the Closing Date if (i) there has been, since the date of the Underwriting Agreement, any material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition or earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Debt Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Debt Securities, (iii) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended (other than pursuant to a request by the Company with respect to an announcement by the Company of certain information not constituting a material adverse change, since the date of the Underwriting Agreement, in the consolidated financial condition or earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise), the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Debt Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Debt Securities, (iv) trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, by such exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or if a banking moratorium has been declared by the relevant authorities in the country or countries of origin of any foreign currency or currencies in which the Debt Securities are denominated or payable, (v) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or Canada shall have occurred or (vi) after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the rating assigned by any nationally recognized securities rating agency to any debt securities of the Company as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement shall have been lowered or any such rating agency shall have publicly announced that it has placed any debt securities of the Company on what is commonly termed a “watch list” with negative implications.

In the event of any such termination, no party will have any liability to any other party hereto, except that (i) the provisions set forth in Sections 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18 and 19 hereof shall remain in effect and (ii) if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(i) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters.

12. Defaulting Underwriters If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Debt Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Debt Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters satisfactory to the Company, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Debt Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

Schedule II

(a) if the aggregate principal amount of the Defaulted Debt Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities to be purchased hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the respective proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the aggregate principal amount of the Defaulted Debt Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities to be purchased hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 12 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum, the Canadian Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements.

13. Selling Restrictions.

(a) European Economic Area. In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (as defined below) (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Underwriter represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of the Debt Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the General Disclosure Package to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

(a) to any legal entity which is a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(b) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than “qualified investors” as defined in the Prospectus Directive), subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Representatives for any such offer; or

provided that no such offer of Debt Securities shall result in a requirement for the Company or any Underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or a supplemental prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Schedule II

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of Debt Securities to the public” in relation to any Debt Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Debt Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Debt Securities, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State. The expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State.

(b) United Kingdom. Each Underwriter represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that:

•

it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000, as amended (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Debt Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA would not apply to the Company; and

•

it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Debt Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

(c) In addition to the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents to and agrees with the Company that it has not offered, sold or delivered and that it will not offer, sell or deliver, directly or indirectly, any of the Debt Securities or distribute any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum or any other material relating to the Debt Securities, in or from any jurisdiction except under circumstances that will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, result in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations thereof.

(d) Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Section 13 and except for registration under the 1933 Act and compliance with the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company shall not have any responsibility for, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that such Underwriter and its respective affiliates will obtain, any consent, approval or authorization required by them for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by them of any of the Debt Securities under the laws and regulations in force in any foreign jurisdiction to which they are subject or in or from which they make such subscription, offer, sale or delivery of any of the Debt Securities.

14. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to the applicable address set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

Schedule II

15. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Underwriters and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 7 and 8 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained in this Agreement. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions of this Agreement are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Debt Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

16. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person referred to in Section 7, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Debt Securities.

17. Miscellaneous. The Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto were upon the same instrument.

18. Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES CREATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF TITLE 14 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAW RULE 327(b).

19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Debt Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Debt Securities and any related discounts and commissions, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, (ii) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to any offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (v) no Underwriter has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

Schedule II

20. Covenants of the Underwriters.

(a) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company that, except as provided herein, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Debt Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433.
