series with the Outstanding Securities of this series and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Outstanding Securities of this series.]****

The Subsidiary Issuer will pay to the Holder of this Security such Additional Amounts and other amounts as may be payable under Section 1005 of the Indenture. Whenever in this Security there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (or premium, if any), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to this Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Subsidiary Issuer, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

 

1.

2.

the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Securities of this series (or portions thereof) for whose redemption payment is made or duly provided for in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date.

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

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Subsidiary Issuer on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Securities of this series, upon compliance by the Subsidiary Issuer, with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

 

A-10

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Subsidiary Issuer the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series affected by such amendment or modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of this series, to waive compliance by the Subsidiary Issuer and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series with respect to which a Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such affected series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Subsidiary Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable on the Security Register of the Subsidiary Issuer, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Subsidiary Issuer maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and Toronto, Ontario duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Subsidiary Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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

 

A-11

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

Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest calculated under a Security of this series for any period in any calendar year (the “calculation period”) is equivalent is the rate payable under a Security of this series in respect of the calculation period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in such calendar year and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the calculation period.

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

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

All references herein to “dollars” or “$” means a dollar or other equivalent unit in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time should be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and all terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
