All terms contained in this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture which are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented and amended

ARTICLE 2
THE NOTES
2.1No Limitation on Issue
The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be issued and authenticated hereunder shall be unlimited.
2.2Terms of Notes
2.2.1The Notes shall be dated as of the Closing Date, regardless of their actual date of issue, and shall mature on the Maturity
Date.
2.2.2The Notes will bear interest (i) from, and including, the Closing Date to, but not including, the Initial Interest Reset
Date at the rate of 8.250% per annum and (ii) from and including the Initial Interest Reset Date, during each Interest Reset
Period, at a rate per annum equal to the Five-Year Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date, plus:
(a) for the period from, and including, the Initial Interest Reset Date to, but not including, January 15, 2034, 3.785%, (b) for the
period from, and including, January 15, 2034 to, but not including, January 15, 2049, 4.035%, and (c) for the period from, and
including, January 15, 2049 to, but not including the Maturity Date, 4.785%, in each case, to be reset on each Interest Reset
Date. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on January 15,
2024, subject to deferral as set forth in Article 5. The applicable interest rate for each Interest Reset Period will be determined
by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date. Subject to Article 5, interest as aforesaid shall
be payable after as well as before default, with interest on overdue interest, in like money, at the same rates and on the same
dates.
2.2.3Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, for any
period shorter than six months, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. For the purposes of
disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the interest payable on the Notes, whenever the interest rate
on the Notes is to be calculated on the basis of a period of less than a calendar year, the yearly interest rate equivalent for such
interest rate will be the interest rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the
number of days used in calculating the specified interest rate.
-6-

2.2.4If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest, principal or premium
due on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed until the next Business Day, and no further interest or other sums will
accrue in respect of such postponement.
2.2.5Interest payments will be made to Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on
January 1 and July 1 (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant
Interest Payment Date.
2.3 Form of Notes
2.3.1The Notes shall be issued only as fully registered Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.
2.3.2The Notes and the certificate of authentication of the Trustee endorsed thereon shall be in the English language and
shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule A hereto, with such appropriate additions, deletions, substitutions and
variations as the Trustee may approve and shall bear such distinguishing letters and numbers as the Trustee may approve, such
approval of the Trustee to be conclusively evidenced by its authentication of the Notes.
2.3.3The Notes may be engraved, printed or lithographed, or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Company may
determine.
2.4Calculation Agent
2.4.1Unless all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed or have been redeemed as of the Initial Interest Reset Date, the
Company shall appoint a Calculation Agent with respect to the Notes prior to the Reset Interest Determination Date preceding
the Initial Interest Reset Date.
2.4.2The Calculation Agent will determine the applicable interest rate for each Interest Reset Period as of the applicable
Reset Interest Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent, if other than the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, will notify the Company of the interest rate for the relevant Interest Reset Period and the Company
will then promptly notify the Trustee, if other than the Calculation Agent, of such interest rate.
2.4.3The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest
Reset Period beginning on or after the Initial Interest Reset Date: (i) will be on file at the Company's principal offices, (ii) will
be made available to any Holder upon request, (iii) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, (iv) may be made in
the Calculation Agent's sole discretion and (v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the
Notes, will become effective without consent from any other person or entity.
-7-

2.5Additional Amounts
2.5.1All payments made by or on account of any obligation of the Company under or with respect to the Notes shall be
made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost,
assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by
or on behalf of the Government of Canada or any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof
having power to tax (hereinafter, "Canadian Taxes"), unless the Company is required to withhold or deduct Canadian Taxes by
law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If the Company is so
required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Canadian Taxes from any payment made under or with respect
to the Notes, the Company shall pay as additional interest such additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be
necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction
shall not be less than the amount the Holder would have received if such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted;
provided, however, that no Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder (an "Excluded
Holder") in respect of a beneficial owner (i) with which the Company does not deal at arm's length (for purposes of the Income
Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of the making of such payment, (ii) which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of such
Holder's failure to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if
compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from,
or a reduction in, the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Canadian Taxes, (iii) where all or any portion of the amount paid
to such Holder is deemed to be a dividend paid to such Holder pursuant to subsection 214(16) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)
or subsection 214(18) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (as set out in proposals to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada) on
April 29, 2022 with respect to "hybrid mismatch arrangements"), or (iv) which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of
its carrying on business in or being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the mere
holding of Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder. The Company shall make such withholding or deduction and remit the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required under applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments shall be made net of any FATCA Withholding Tax, and no additional amounts will
be payable as a result of any such FATCA Withholding Tax.
2.5.2If a Holder has received a refund or credit for any Canadian Taxes with respect to which the Company has paid
Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5, such Holder shall pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the
extent of such Additional Amounts), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Holder, together with any interest paid by the
relevant tax authority in respect of such refund.
2.5.3If Additional Amounts are required to be paid under this Section 2.5 as a result of a Tax Event, the Company may elect
to redeem outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.3.
-8-

2.6Tax Treatment
The Company intends to treat the Notes as equity of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Holders of the Notes
are required, in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the Notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. U.S. Holders of the Notes agree not to treat interest
payments on the Notes as "qualified dividend income" that is subject to preferential tax rates.
ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES
3.1Redemption of Notes at the Option of the Company
The Company may, at its option, on giving not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days' prior notice to the Holders thereof,
redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, (i) on any day in the period commencing on the date falling
three months prior to the Initial Interest Reset Date and ending on (and including) the Initial Interest Reset Date and (ii) after
the Initial Interest Reset Date, on any Interest Payment Date, in each case, without the consent of the Holders, at a redemption
price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
3.2Partial Redemption of Notes
3.2.1If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company shall, at least 15 days prior to the
date that notice of redemption is given, notify the Trustee by Company Order stating the Company's intention to redeem the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. The Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, if the
Notes are in Global Form, in accordance with the procedures of DTC and if the Notes are certificated, on a pro rata basis,
disregarding fractions, according to the principal amount of the Notes registered in the respective names of each Holder, or in
such other manner as the Trustee may consider equitable, provided that such selection shall be proportionate (to the nearest
minimum authorized denomination for the Notes established pursuant to Section 2.3).
3.2.2If the Notes in denominations in excess of the minimum authorized denomination for the Notes are selected and called
for redemption in part only (such part being that minimum authorized denomination or an integral multiple thereof) then, unless
the context otherwise requires, references to the Notes in this Article 3 shall be deemed to include any such part of the principal
amount of the Notes which shall have been so selected and called for redemption. The Holder of any Notes called for
redemption in part only, upon surrender of such Notes for payment, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such Holder,
new Notes for the unredeemed part of the Notes so surrendered, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, at the expense of the Company, such new Notes having the same terms as are set out herein upon
receipt from the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the Notes so surrendered.
