Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the 2026 Notes are or are to be issued and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the 2026 Notes and of the Issuer and of the Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the holder of this Note by acceptance hereof assents.
The 2026 Notes are issuable at a price of US$1,000 per US$1,000 of principal amount and only in denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, 2026 Notes of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes in any other authorized denomination or denominations.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Issuer, the Issuer is required to make an offer, at the option of each Holder, to purchase all of the 2026 Notes at a cash price equal to 101% principal amount of such 2026 Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by this 2026 Note, and by all other 2026 Notes now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct secured obligation of the Issuer.
The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable before the stated maturity in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at the times provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders of 2026 Notes outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of 2026 Notes outstanding, which resolutions or instruments may have the effect of amending the terms of this 2026 Note or the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions disclaiming any personal liability on the part of holders of the common shares in the capital of the Issuer, officers, directors and employees of the Issuer in respect of any obligation or claim arising out of the Indenture or this 2026 Note.
This 2026 Note may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in one of the registers to be kept at the principal office of the Trustee in the City of Vancouver and in such other place or places and/or by such other registrars (if any) as the Issuer with the approval of the Trustee may designate. No transfer of this 2026 Note shall be valid unless made on the register by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Trustee or other registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this 2026 Note for cancellation. Thereupon a new 2026 Note or 2026 Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.
This 2026 Note shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been certified by the
Trustee under the Indenture.
Capitalized words or expressions used in this 2026 Note shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
