(b)           has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness Incurred under any Revolving Credit Facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period;

(2)           if since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will have made any Asset Disposition or disposed of or discontinued (as defined under GAAP) any company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of business or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes such a transaction:

(a)           the Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that are

8

the subject of such disposition or discontinuation for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; and

(b)           Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged (to the extent the related commitment is permanently reduced) with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale);

(3)           if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger, amalgamation or otherwise) will have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged or amalgamated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of business, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such period; and

(4)           if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or amalgamated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) will have Incurred any Indebtedness or discharged any Indebtedness, made any disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company (including pro forma expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Company, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Company.

“Consolidated EBITDA” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period:

(1)           increased (without duplication) by the following items to the extent deducted in calculating such Consolidated Net Income:

(f)                                   other non-cash charges reducing Consolidated Net Income (other than depreciation, amortization or depletion expense), including any write-offs or write-downs (excluding any such non-cash charge to the extent it represents an accrual of or reserve for cash charges in any future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense that was capitalized at the time of payment); plus

(g)                                  any expenses or charges (other than depreciation, amortization or depletion expense) related to any Equity Offering, Permitted Investment, acquisition, disposition, recapitalization or the Incurrence of Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred by this Indenture (including a refinancing thereof) (whether or not successful), including (i) such fees, expenses or charges related to the offering of the Notes and (ii) any amendment or other modification of the Notes; plus

(h)                                 any restructuring charges, integration costs or costs associated with establishing new facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include retention, severance, relocation, workforce reduction, contract termination, systems establishment costs and facilities consolidation costs) certified by the chief financial officer of the Company and deducted (and not added back) in computing Consolidated Net Income; provided that the aggregate amount of all charges, expenses and costs added back under this clause (h) shall not to exceed $20.0 million in any consecutive four-quarter period; and

(2)                                 decreased (without duplication) by non-cash items increasing Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period (excluding any items which represent the reversal of any accrual of, or reserve for, anticipated cash charges that reduced Consolidated EBITDA in any prior period).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (1)(b) through (h) relating to amounts of a Restricted Subsidiary of a Person will be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute Consolidated EBITDA of such Person only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income (loss) of such Restricted Subsidiary was included in calculating the Consolidated Net Income of such Person and, to the extent the amounts set forth in clauses (1)(b) through (h) are in excess of those necessary to offset a net loss of such Restricted Subsidiary or if such Restricted Subsidiary has net income for such period included in Consolidated Net Income, only if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Company by such Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval (that has not been obtained), pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments, judgments, decrees, orders, statutes, rules and governmental regulations applicable to that Restricted Subsidiary or its stockholders.

(1)           any Canadian Taxes imposed by reason of the Holder or Beneficial Tax Owner of the Notes being, at the time of the making of the applicable payment:  (i) a Person with which the Company (or a relevant Guarantor) does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or (ii) a “specified shareholder” or a Person dealing not at arm’s length with a “specified shareholder” of the Company for the purposes of subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada);

(1)           any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder or Beneficial Tax Owner as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes (or any Guarantee) to the extent that the Holder is entitled to Additional Amounts with respect thereto (or would be entitled to Additional Amounts with respect thereto if such Taxes were subject to deduction or withholding by the Company);

(2)           any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to Tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; and

(3)           any Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under this Section 2.05(d) to the extent that the Holder is entitled to Additional Amounts with respect thereto (or would be entitled to Additional Amounts with respect thereto if such Taxes were subject to deduction or withholding by the Company) and any liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(e)           Wherever in this Indenture or any Guarantee there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, redemption prices or any other amount payable under or with respect to a Note or any Guarantee, such mention will 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.

(f)            The Company will pay when due any present or future stamp, transfer, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any Taxing Jurisdiction from the initial execution, delivery or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument relating thereto or from any payment under or in respect of, or enforcement of, the Notes or any Guarantee (“Documentary Taxes”).

(g)           The Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligation to make payments of Additional Amounts, any indemnification payment and Documentary Taxes under the terms and conditions described above will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and any transfer by, a Holder or Beneficial Tax Owner of Notes.

43

(9)           that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.

ARTICLE 4
COVENANTS

Section 4.01                Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the U.S. Trustee or an affiliate of the U.S. Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the U.S. Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the U.S. Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the U.S. Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the U.S. Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the U.S. Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture.

Section 4.02                Reports and Other Information.  Section 4.02 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to, and have no force and effect with respect to, the Notes and any reference to Section 4.02 of the Base Indenture shall be superseded by and references thereto shall be deemed to refer to this Section 4.02 of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

(a)           Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Company will file with the SEC within the time periods set forth below:

(1)           within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, all financial information that would be required to be contained in an annual report on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC, including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” section and a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;

(2)           within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, all financial information that would be required to be contained in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC, including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” section;

(3)           within the applicable number of days specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form, if the Company were required to file such reports; and

(4)           any other information, documents and other reports that the Company would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified therein or in the relevant form,

47

in each case in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, so long as the Company provides such information to the U.S. Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and makes available such information to prospective purchasers of the Notes, in each case at the Company’s expense and by the applicable date the Company would be required to file such information pursuant to Section 4.02(a). The requirements set forth in this Section 4.02(b) may be satisfied by delivering such information to the U.S. Trustee and posting copies of such information on a website (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Company or a third party) to which access will be given to Holders and prospective purchasers of the Notes. The U.S. Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such information has been posted on the website. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the TIA. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the U.S. Trustee hereunder is for informational purposes only and the U.S. Trustee’s receipt of such does not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants (as to which the U.S. Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

(c)           In addition, promptly after the date the quarterly and annual financial information for the prior fiscal period have been furnished pursuant to Section 4.02(a) or Section 4.02(b), the Company shall also hold live quarterly conference calls with the opportunity to ask questions of management. The Company shall issue a press release to the appropriate U.S. wire services announcing such quarterly conference call for the benefit of the Trustees, the Holders, beneficial owners of the Notes, prospective purchasers of the Notes securities analysts and market making financial institutions, which press release shall contain the time and the date of such conference call and direct the recipients thereof to contact an individual at the Company (for whom contact information shall be provided in such notice) to obtain information on how to access such quarterly conference call.

(d)           If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the annual and quarterly financial information required by this Section 4.02 shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, as determined in good faith by Senior Management of the Company, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements and in the “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” section, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(e)           In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Company becomes a Guarantor of the Notes, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this covenant to provide consolidated financial information of the Company by furnishing consolidated financial information relating to such parent; provided that (1) such financial statements are accompanied by consolidating financial information for such parent, the Company, the Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries in the manner prescribed by the SEC and (2) such parent is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of the Company.

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company qualifies to report under the U.S./Canadian multijurisdictional disclosure system, such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports will be deemed to refer to those reports required of a Canadian company eligible to use Canadian continuous disclosure filings to satisfy its reporting requirements under such

48

system; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary permitted by such U.S./Canadian multijurisdictional disclosure system, now or in the future, the reports required of a Canadian company under such system will be deemed to include (1) a reconciliation of such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, (2) a quarterly balance sheet and (3) a quarterly or annual, as the case may be, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations substantially in the form that would be required by a U.S. Person subject to this Section 4.02.

Section 4.03                Compliance Certificate.

(a)           Solely for purposes of the Notes, Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended to replace the phrase “120 days” appearing therein with the phrase “90 days.”  In addition, solely for purposes of the Notes, Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph (b) thereto:

(b)           When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall promptly (which shall be no more than 10 Business Days following the date on which the Company becomes aware of such Default, receives such notice or becomes aware of such action, as applicable) send to the U.S. Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.04                Taxes.  The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

52

(b)           the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; less

53

(14)         payments or distributions to holders of the Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to appraisal rights required under applicable law in connection with any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets that complies with Section 5.01, which payments are consideration for any Investment made pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Investment”; and

provided, however, that at the time of and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (5), (7), (8), (10) and (15), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

(c)           The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment; provided that such determination of Fair Market Value shall be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an Independent Financial Advisor if such Fair Market Value is estimated in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or an authorized committee thereof to exceed $50.0 million.  The amount of all Restricted Payments paid in cash shall be its face amount.  Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the U.S. Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.06 were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture.

(d)           The Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”  For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the definition of “Investment.”  Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Indenture.

Section 4.07                Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions From Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

54

(1)                                 pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(2)                                 make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(3)                                 sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above).

(b)                                 The preceding provisions will not prohibit encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1)                                 contractual encumbrances or restrictions pursuant to the Existing Notes and related documentation and other agreements or instruments in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date;

(2)                                 this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(3)                                 any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired (including after-acquired property);

(4)                                 any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.07(b) or this clause (4); provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, no more restrictive than the encumbrances and restrictions contained the agreements referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.07(b) on the Issue Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or amalgamated  into a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable;

(5)                                 in the case of clause (3) of Section 4.07(a), Liens permitted to be Incurred under Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(6)                                 purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capitalized Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.07(a) on the property so acquired;

55

(7)                                 contracts for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or a portion of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

(8)                                 restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(9)                                 any customary provisions in joint venture agreements relating to joint ventures that are not Restricted Subsidiaries and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(10)                          any customary provisions in leases, subleases or licenses and other agreements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

(11)                          encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; and

(12)                          (A) other Indebtedness Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 4.08, that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, are not more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those restrictions applicable to the Company in this Indenture on the Issue Date (which results in encumbrances or restrictions at a Restricted Subsidiary level comparable to those applicable to the Company) or (B) other Indebtedness Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by a Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, in each case permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date under Section 4.08; provided that with respect to clause (B), such encumbrances or restrictions will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal and interest payments on the Notes (in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company).

Section 4.08                                                Limitation on Indebtedness.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may Incur Indebtedness if on the date thereof and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis:

(1)                                 the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at least 2.00 to 1.00; and

(2)                                 no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence of Incurring the Indebtedness or entering into the transactions relating to such Incurrence.

(b)                                 The provisions of Section 4.08(a) will not prohibit the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness:

(1)                                 Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate together with any Additional Notes Incurred pursuant to clause (2) below, which may be Incurred under a Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof);

56

(2)                                 Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date and Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate together with any Indebtedness Incurred under a Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to clause (1) above (including any Note Guarantee);

(3)                                 Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2), (4), (5), (7), (9), (10), (11) and (12) of this Section 4.08(b));

(4)                                 Guarantees by (a) the Company or Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is a Subordinated Obligation or a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee, as the case may be, (b) Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness Incurred by Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and (c) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness Incurred by an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, that, in the case of Guarantees under this clause (c), such Guarantee is permitted as an Investment pursuant to Section 4.06(b) or the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(5)                                 Indebtedness of the Company owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,

(a)                                 if the Company is the obligor on Indebtedness owing to a Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes;

(b)                                 if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary is the obligee, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and

(c)                                  (i)  any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

(ii)                                  any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company

shall be deemed, in each case under this clause (5)(c), to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be;

(6)                                 Indebtedness of (a) any Person Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, or merged or amalgamated into, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (b) such Persons or the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred (x) to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Company or (y) otherwise in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition; provided, however, in each case set forth in clause (a) or (b), that at the time such Person is acquired or such Indebtedness was Incurred, either

57

(A)                               the Company would have been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (6); or

(B)                               the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been higher than such ratio immediately prior to such acquisition, merger or amalgamation and such ratio would have been at least 1.75 to 1.00, in each case after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (6);

(7)                                 Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations that are Incurred in the ordinary course of business (and not for speculative purposes);

(8)                                 Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred to finance the purchase, lease, construction or improvement of any property, plant or equipment used or to be used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary through the direct purchase of such property, plant or equipment, and any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary which serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (8), in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (8) and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (a) $75.0 million and (b) 3.0% of Total Tangible Assets at any time outstanding;

(9)                                 Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) Incurred pursuant to the Caterpillar Equipment Financing Agreement and other Indebtedness of the type described in clause (8) above, which, together with Indebtedness outstanding under the Caterpillar Equipment Financing Agreement, does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred under the Caterpillar Equipment Financing Agreement on the Issue Date;

(10)                          Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability or other insurance, self-insurance obligations, performance, bid, surety, appeal, reclamation, remediation and similar bonds, letters of credit and completion Guarantees (not for borrowed money) provided in the ordinary course of business;

(11)                          Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business or assets of the Company or any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that:

(a)                                 the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds, including non-cash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; and

(b)                                 such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to

58

financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (11));

(12)                          Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of Incurrence;

(13)                          Indebtedness consisting of unpaid insurance premiums owed to any Person providing property, casualty, liability or other insurance to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any fiscal year, pursuant to reimbursement or indemnification obligations to such Person; provided that such Indebtedness is incurred only to defer the cost of such unpaid insurance premiums for such fiscal year and is outstanding only during such fiscal year;

(14)                          Indebtedness of the Company, to the extent the net proceeds thereof are substantially concurrently (a) used to purchase Notes tendered in connection with a Change of Control Offer or (b) deposited to defease the Notes pursuant to Article 8 of the Base Indenture  or Article 11, each as amended hereby;

(15)                          the Incurrence or issuance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Refinancing Indebtedness that serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness Incurred as permitted under Section 4.08(a) and clauses (2), (3), (6) and this clause (15) of this Section 4.08(b), or any Indebtedness issued to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, including additional Indebtedness Incurred to pay premiums (including reasonable, as determined in good faith by the Company, tender premiums), defeasance costs, accrued interest and fees and expenses in connection therewith; and

(16)                          in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (15) above, Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (16) and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 4.0% of Total Tangible Assets at any time outstanding.

(c)                                  The Company will not Incur any Indebtedness under Section 4.08(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Subordinated Obligations of the Company unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the Notes to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations.  No Subsidiary Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness under Section 4.08(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee to at least the same extent as such Guarantor Subordinated Obligations.  No Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) may Incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(d)                                 For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 4.08:

(1)                                 in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.08(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and may later classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with Section 4.08(b) and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses under Section 4.08(b);

59

(2)                                 Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included;

(3)                                 if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Revolving Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 4.08(b) and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

(4)                                 the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

(5)                                 Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.08 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.08 permitting such Indebtedness;

(6)                                 the principal amount of any Indebtedness outstanding in connection with a securitization transaction or series of securitization transactions is the amount of obligations outstanding under the legal documents entered into as part of such transaction that would be characterized as principal if such transaction were structured as a secured lending transaction rather than as a purchase relating to such transaction; and

(7)                                 the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.08.  The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal amount outstanding in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable in kind and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

In addition, the Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt, except to the extent permitted under clause (4)(c) of Section 4.08(b). If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.08, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 4.08).

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S.

60

dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.  The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 4.09                                                Asset Dispositions.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause, make or suffer to exist any Asset Disposition unless:

(1)                                 the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

(2)                                 at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents;

(3)                                 if such Asset Disposition involves the disposition of Collateral, (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to such disposed Collateral and (ii) if the consideration received by the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) is in the form of assets pursuant to clause (2) above, the Company shall, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to, take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such assets to be made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture and the Security Documents; and

(4)                                 an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, as follows:

(A)                               to permanently reduce (and permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto):  Secured Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Secured Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company;

(B)                               to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds resulted from an Asset Disposition consisting of property or other assets that were not Collateral, to permanently reduce obligations under other Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided that in the

61

case of both clause (A) above and this clause (B) the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.02 through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.05 and this Section 4.09 for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid;

(C)                               to invest in Additional Assets; or

(D)                               a combination of prepayments and investments permitted by the foregoing clauses (A) through (C);

notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to any Asset Disposition consisting of any substantial portion of our Mt. Milligan mine and operations (other than an Asset Disposition consisting solely of a Deferred Revenue Financing Arrangement) no such Asset Disposition shall be permitted unless (i) the Net Available Cash resulting therefrom (together with other sources of cash then available to the Company) shall be sufficient to repay the Notes (including any Additional Notes) in their entirety and (ii) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, within 30 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid.

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness (including under a Revolving Credit Facility) or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture (provided that once the aggregate Net Available Cash from Asset Sales since the Issue Date exceeds $50.0 million, for so long as such Net Available Cash is retained by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary such cash shall be maintained in a deposit account that is subject to a perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes); provided, further, that in the case of clause (3)(C) above, a binding commitment to invest in Additional Assets shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided, however, that if a Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(5)                                 For the purposes of clause (2) above and for no other purpose, the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A)                               any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary

62

(other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the Note Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing;

(B)                               any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition;

(C)                               any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $50.0 million and 2.0% of Total Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(b)                                 Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.09(a) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and (x) in the case of Net Available Cash from Collateral, to the holders of any other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to asset sales or (y) in the case of any other Net Available Cash, to the extent required by the terms of outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, in each case, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.05 or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in denominations of $2,000 and larger integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Company shall commence an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds by sending (or otherwise communicating in accordance with the procedures of DTC) the notice required by Section 3.05, with a copy to the U.S. Trustee.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations (in the case of Net Available Cash from Collateral) and other Pari Passu Indebtedness (in the case of any other Net Available Cash) surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the U.S. Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company shall select the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate accreted value or principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness.  Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c)                                  The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of

63

Notes pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of any conflict.

Section 4.10                                                Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or asset or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1)                                 the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained by the Company  or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arms’ length dealings with a Person that is not an Affiliate;

(2)                                 in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the members of such Board of Directors having no personal stake in such transaction, if any (and such majority or majorities, as the case may be, determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above); and

(3)                                 in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, the Company has received a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor that such Affiliate Transaction is not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arms’ length dealings with a Person that is not an Affiliate.

(b)                                 Section 4.10(a) will not apply to:

(1)                                 any transaction between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries and any Guarantees issued by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 4.08;

(2)                                 any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.06 and the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(3)                                 any issuance of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or as the funding of, employment agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock of the Company, restricted stock plans, long-term incentive plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits plans and/or indemnity provided on behalf of Officers and employees approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;

(4)                                 the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

64

(5)                                 loans or advances to employees, Officers or directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business, in an aggregate amount not in excess of $2.0 million at any time outstanding (without giving effect to the forgiveness of any such loan);

(6)                                 any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, as these agreements may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time, so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, when taken as a whole, than the terms of the agreements in effect on the Issue Date;

(7)                                 any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged or amalgamated into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or amalgamation, and any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, when taken as a whole, as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition, merger or amalgamation);

(8)                                 transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors or Senior Management of the Company, such transactions are on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained at the time of such transactions in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;

(9)                                 any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith; and

(10)                          transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the U.S. Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms’ length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate.

Section 4.11                                                Limitations on Liens.  The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, on or with respect to the Collateral except Permitted Liens.  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom other than Collateral, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens:

(1)                                 in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

65

(2)                                 in all other cases, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens.

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above.

Section 4.12                                                Corporate Existence.  Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (1) its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.13                                                Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control.

(a)                                 If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02 or 3.04, the Company will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date).  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02 or 3.04, the Company will send a notice of such Change of Control Offer to each Holder or otherwise give notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, with a copy to the U.S. Trustee, stating:

(1)                                 that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for purchase by the Company at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;

(2)                                 the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3)                                 that Notes must be tendered in multiples of $1,000, and any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4)                                 that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date;

66

(5)                                 that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6)                                 that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives at the address specified in the notice, not later than the close of business on the 30th day following the date of the Change of Control notice, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(7)                                 that if a Holder is tendering less than all of its Notes, such Holder will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof); however, in the case of Global Notes, the outstanding principal amount will be reduced to reflect the Change of Control Payment for such Notes; and

(8)                                 the other instructions, as determined by the Company consistent with this Section 4.13, that a Holder must follow.

The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  If (A) the notice is sent in a manner herein provided and (B) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect.

(b)                                 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1)                                 accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2)                                 deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so tendered; and

(3)                                 deliver or cause to be delivered to the U.S. Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.13.

(c)                                  The Paying Agent will promptly pay to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the U.S. Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  However, in the case of Global Notes, the outstanding principal amount will be reduced to reflect the Change of Control Payment for such Notes.

(d)                                 If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after the relevant Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control

67

Payment Date will be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the preceding Record Date.

(e)                                  Prior to making a Change of Control Payment, and as a condition to such payment (1) the requisite holders of each issue of Indebtedness issued under an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by such payment shall have consented to such Change of Control Payment being made and waived the event of default, if any, caused by the Change of Control or (2) the Company will repay all outstanding Indebtedness issued under an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by a Change of Control Payment or the Company will offer to repay all such Indebtedness, make payment to the holders of such Indebtedness that accept such offer and obtain waivers of any event of default arising under the relevant indenture or other agreement from the remaining holders of such Indebtedness.  The Company covenants to effect such repayment or obtain such consent prior to making a Change of Control Payment, it being a default of the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture if the Company fails to comply with such covenant.

(f)                                   The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.13 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(g)                                  The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of the conflict.

(h)                                 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.13, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 of the Base Indenture, as amended hereby.

Section 4.14                                                Additional Subsidiary Note Guarantees.  The Company will cause (a) each Restricted Subsidiary other than Excluded Subsidiaries and (b) the New Parent following the consummation of a Permitted Reorganization to execute and deliver to the Trustees a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary or New Parent will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes on a senior basis and all other obligations under this Indenture.

The obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any Guarantees under the Existing Notes) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Canadian federal or provincial law or U.S. federal or state law.  The Obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture and any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations of any Person that is or becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date will be secured equally and ratably by a Lien in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the holders of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations and other Secured Parties (as defined in the U.S. Collateral

68

Agreement or other applicable Security Document).  Such Guarantor will enter into a joinder agreement to the applicable Security Documents defining the terms of the security interests that secure payment and performance when due of the Notes and take all actions advisable in the opinion of the Company, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the Company to cause the Liens created by the Security Agreements on the assets of such Guarantor and the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to be duly perfected to the extent required by such agreement in accordance with all applicable law, including the filing of financing statements in the jurisdictions of incorporation or formation of the Company and the Guarantors.

Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06 of this Indenture, as amended by this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

Section 4.15                                                Limitation on Activities of Parent Companies.

(a)                                 No direct or indirect parent company of the Company, including, following any Permitted Reorganization, the New Parent, shall:

(1)                                 conduct, transact or otherwise engage in, or commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage in, any business or operations other than (i) those incidental to its ownership of the Capital Stock of the Company, (ii) action required by law to maintain its existence, (iii) performance of its obligations with respect to Indebtedness permitted by clause (2)(ii) below, (iv) any public offering of its Capital Stock and (v) activities incidental to its maintenance and continuance and to any of the foregoing activities;

(2)                                 Incur, issue, create, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness or other liabilities or financial obligations, except (i) nonconsensual obligations imposed by operation of law, (ii) obligations with respect to Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is permitted under Section 4.08 and (iii) obligations with respect to its Capital Stock, or

(3)                                 own, lease, manage or otherwise operate any properties or assets (including cash (other than cash received in connection with dividends made by the Company in accordance with Section 4.06 pending application in the manner contemplated by such Section) and cash equivalents) other than the ownership of shares of Capital Stock of the Company.

Section 4.16                                                Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction unless:

(1)                                 the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness in respect of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.08;

(2)                                 the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to create a Lien on the property subject to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction under Section 4.11; and

(3)                                 the Sale/Leaseback Transaction is treated as an Asset Disposition and all of the conditions of this Indenture described under Section 4.09 (including the provisions concerning the application of Net Available Cash) are satisfied with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, treating all of the consideration received in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction as Net Available Cash for purposes of Section 4.09.

69

Section 4.17                                                Effectiveness of Covenants.

(a)                                 Following the first day:

(1)                                 the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies; and

(2)                                 no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture,

the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 5.01(a)(4), and 4.14 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b)                                 If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

(c)                                  On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.08(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date).  To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or (b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under clause (3) of Section 4.08(b).  Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.06 will be made as though Section 4.06 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period.  Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.06(a).

(d)                                 During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

(e)                                  The Company shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the U.S. Trustee upon the occurrence of any suspension of the Suspended Covenants or the subsequent reinstatement of such Suspended Covenants.

Section 4.18                                                Applicability of Covenants Contained in the Base Indenture.  Each of the agreements and covenants of the Company contained in Article 4 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes, except as provided above.

70

Section 4.19                                                No Impairment of the Security Interests.  Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustees, the Collateral Agents, the Holders of the Notes or any holder of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations or any other Secured Party (as defined in the U.S. Collateral Agreement or other applicable Security Document).

Section 4.20                                                Further Assurances and After-Acquired Property.  Subject to the limitations described in the Security Documents and herein, the Security Documents and this Indenture provide that the Company and the Guarantors shall, at their expense, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further agreements, documents and instruments, and do or cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper to evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce the Lien in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agents and the priority thereof, and to otherwise effectuate the provisions or purposes of this Indenture and the Security Documents.  If the Company or a Guarantor acquires property that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the Security Documents and such property is of a type that constitutes Collateral or an entity becomes a Guarantor, then the Company or such Guarantor will provide security over such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets constituting Collateral under the Security Documents) in favor of the Collateral Agents and deliver certain joinder agreements, mortgages, title insurance policies, surveys, opinions and certificates in respect thereof as required by this Indenture and the Security Documents. In addition, any future Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries), and the New Parent, following the consummation of a Permitted Reorganization, will be required to become Guarantors and similarly grant Liens on their assets to the Collateral Agents, for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.21                                                Maintenance of Collateral.  The Company will, and will cause each of the Guarantors to (i) at all times maintain, preserve and protect all property material to the conduct of its business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition (other than wear and tear occurring in the ordinary course of business); (ii) from time to time make, or cause to be made, all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times and (iii) keep its insurable property insured in a commercially reasonable manner at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers.

Section 4.22                                                Events of Loss.  In the event of an Event of Loss resulting in the payment to the Company or Restricted Subsidiary of Net Loss Proceeds in excess of $25.0 million, the Company or the affected Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the property affected by such Event of Loss (the “Subject Property”), with no concurrent obligation to offer to purchase any of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company delivers to the U.S. Trustee within 90 days of such payment to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Net Loss Proceeds an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Company has applied (or will apply in accordance with anticipated contractual obligations relating to such rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction) the Net Loss Proceeds or other sources in accordance with this sentence.

Any Net Loss Proceeds that are not reinvested or not permitted to be reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.22 will be deemed “Excess Loss Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company will make an offer (an “Event of Loss Offer”) to all Holders and to the holders of any other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to events of loss to purchase or repurchase the Notes and such other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations with the proceeds

71

from the Event of Loss in an amount equal to the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations that may be purchased out the Excess Loss Proceeds. The offer price in any Event of Loss Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.  If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, the Company may use such Excess Loss Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents and such remaining amount shall not be added to any subsequent Excess Loss Proceeds for any purpose under this Indenture; provided that any remaining Excess Loss Proceeds shall remain subject to the Lien of the Security Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations tendered pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds, the U.S. Trustee will select the Notes and the Company or its agent shall select such other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount tendered.

The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the Event of Loss provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Event of Loss provisions of this Indenture by virtue of any conflict.

Section 6.04                                                Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustees or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustees or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustees or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 8
Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

Section 8.01                                                Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.

(a)                                 For purposes of the Notes, Section 8.01(a) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended by replacing each reference therein to “U.S. Government Obligations” with the term “Government Securities.” In addition, for purposes of the Notes, in order to effect a discharge of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(2) of the Base Indenture, the following additional conditions shall apply:

(i)                                  no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing), and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(ii)                                     the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(iii)                                    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the U.S. Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, upon the Company’s request for written acknowledgment of satisfaction and discharge, it must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the U.S. Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

(b)                                 For purposes of the Notes, Section 8.01(b) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to, and have no force and effect with respect to, the Notes, and any reference to Section 8.01(b) shall be superseded by, and references shall be deemed to refer to, this Section 8.01(b) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

81

(i)                                  Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01(a) of the Base Indenture of the option applicable to this Section 8.01(b)(i), the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees and the Collateral under the Security Documents will be released on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Sections 8.03, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 of the Base Indenture and the other Sections of the Base Indenture referred to in Section 8.01(c) of the Base Indenture, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, including that of the Guarantors (and the U.S. Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the provisions specified in Section 8.01(c) of the Base Indenture.  Subject to compliance with Article 8 of this Indenture, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.01(b)(i) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.01(b)(ii).

(ii)                                     Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01(b) of the option applicable to this Section 8.01(b)(ii), the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.05, 4.02, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture and Section 9.07 of the Base Indenture with respect to the outstanding Notes, and the Guarantors (other than any direct or indirect parent entities of the Company) shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all Note Guarantees (other than the Note Guarantee of any direct or indirect parent entities of the Company), and the Collateral under the Security Documents will be released on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Note Guarantee of any direct or indirect parent entities of the Company shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01(b) of the option applicable to this Section 8.01(b)(ii), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, Sections 6.01(a)(3) (only with respect to the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(4)), 6.01(a)(4) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(7), 6.01(a)(8), 6.01(a)(9) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(a)(10) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would

82

constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and 6.01(a)(11) (other than with respect to the Note Guarantee of any direct or indirect parent entities of the Company) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, in each case, shall not constitute Events of Default.

(iii)                                    Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon written request of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture, the U.S. Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture other than the surviving obligations.

Section 8.02                                                Conditions to Defeasance.  Section 8.02 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to, and have no force and effect with respect to, the Notes and any reference to Section 8.02 of the Base Indenture shall be superseded by and references thereto shall be deemed to refer to this Section 8.02 of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

(a)                                 The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option or the Covenant Defeasance option under Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes:

(1)                                 the Company must irrevocably deposit with the U.S. Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants in the United States without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2)                                 in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the U.S. Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from an independent legal counsel that is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. or Canadian federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. and Canadian federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred and confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, each of the Internal Revenue Service and the Canada Revenue Agency a ruling, or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. and Canadian federal income tax law upon which, in either case, the Opinion of Counsel regarding U.S. and Canadian federal income tax consequences is based;

(3)                                 in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the U.S. Trustee (a) an Opinion of Counsel from an independent legal counsel that is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred and (b) either (1) an Opinion of Counsel in Canada reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, or (2) a ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency, in each case, confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income or other tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income tax and other tax on the same amounts, in the

83

same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance not occurred;

(4)                                 such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

(5)                                 no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(6)                                 the Company has delivered to the U.S. Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, including, without limitation, that no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an “insider” of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization of similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(7)                                 the Company has delivered to the U.S. Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company, any Guarantor or others;

(8)                                 the Company has delivered to the U.S. Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and

(9)                                 the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the U.S. Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in clause (8) above).

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture, any notice or communication to the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustees is duly given if in writing and (1) delivered in person, (2) mailed by first-class mail (certified or registered, return receipt requested), postage prepaid, or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery or (3) sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, to its address specified in Section 11.01(a) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture.  All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) shall be deemed to have been duly given, whether personally delivered, sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, or mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth in Section 11.01(a) of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, shall be deemed duly given, regardless of whether the addressee receives such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication delivered to the Trustees shall be deemed effective upon actual receipt thereof.

(c)                                  The penultimate sentence of Section 11.02(a) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to, and have no force and effect with respect to, the Notes and shall be replaced with the following language:

Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be delivered in person, sent electronically or mailed by first-class mail (certified or registered, return receipt requested) or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the Note Register or by such other delivery system as the Trustees agree to accept and shall be deemed to be sufficiently given if so sent within the time prescribed.  Any notice or communication shall also be so mailed to any Person described in TIA Section 313(c), to the extent required by the TIA.  Failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

(d)                                 In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture, the following language is hereby added to Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture for purposes of the Notes:

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the U.S. Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

89

Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Note (or its designee), pursuant to the applicable procedures of such Depositary, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

The Trustees agrees to accept and act upon notice, instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured facsimile or electronic transmission; provided, however, that (1) the party providing such written notice, instructions or directions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustees in a timely manner, and (2) such originally executed notice, instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such notice, instructions or directions.  The Trustees shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustees’ reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such notice, instructions or directions notwithstanding such notice, instructions or directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent notice, instructions or directions.

If the Company sends a notice or communication to Holders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustees and each Agent at the same time.

Section 11.02                                         Payments Due on Non-Business Days.  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or repurchase date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, redemption date or repurchase date, or at the Stated Maturity of the Notes; provided that no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date, repurchase date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

Section 11.03                                         Judgment Currency.  The obligation of the Company and each Guarantor that is not organized in the United States of America in respect of any sum due to any Holder under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or any other applicable currency (the “Judgment Currency”), not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Holder of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Holder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars or any other applicable currency with the Judgment Currency; if the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Holder hereunder, the Company and each such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Holder against such loss.  If the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Holder hereunder, such Holder agrees to pay to the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased over the sum originally due to such Holder under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees.

Section 11.04                                         Submission to Jurisdiction.  The Company and each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the County and City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees.  Service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to the Company or any Guarantor at the address above in Section 11.01 of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall be effective service of process against the Company or any Guarantor for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. The Company and each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or

90

proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  A final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and each Guarantor and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.  The Company and each Guarantor further agrees that nothing herein shall affect any Holder’s right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or bring a suit action or proceeding (including a proceeding for enforcement of a judgment) in any other court or jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law.

Section 11.05                                         Waiver of Immunity.  To the extent that each of the Company and the Guarantors, or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to each of the Company and the Guarantors, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any Canadian, New York state or U.S. federal court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to the obligations and liabilities of each of the Company and the Guarantors or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives or will waive such right to the extent permitted by applicable law, and agree not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consent to such relief and enforcement.
