to certain limitations.

Notice to Canadian Investors
This Offering Memorandum constitutes an "exempt offering document" as defined in and for the

commission or similar regulatory authority in Canada in connection with the offer and sale of the
Notes. No securities commission or similar regulatory authority in Canada has reviewed or in any
way passed upon this Offering Memorandum or on the merits of the Notes and any representation
to the contrary is an offense.
Canadian investors are advised that this document has been prepared in reliance on section 3A.3
of National Instrument 33 105 Underwriting Conflicts ("NI 33 105"). Pursuant to section 3A.3 of NI
33 105, this document is exempt from the requirement that the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers

Resale Restrictions
The offer and sale of the Notes in Canada is being made on a private placement basis only and is
exempt from the requirement that the Issuer prepares and files a prospectus under applicable
Canadian securities laws. Any resale of Notes acquired by a Canadian investor in this offering must
be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, which may vary depending on the
relevant jurisdiction, and which may require resales to be made in accordance with Canadian
prospectus requirements, a statutory exemption from the prospectus requirements, in a transaction
exempt from the prospectus requirements or otherwise under a discretionary exemption from the
prospectus requirements granted by the applicable local Canadian securities regulatory authority.
These resale restrictions may under certain circumstances apply to resales of the Notes outside of
Canada.
Representations of Purchasers
Each Canadian investor who purchases the Notes will be deemed to have represented to the Issuer
that the investor (i) is purchasing as principal, or is deemed to be purchasing as principal in

accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, for investment only and not with a view to
resale or redistribution; (ii) is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in section 1.1 of

is defined in section 1.1 of National Instrument 31 103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and
Ongoing Registrant Obligations.
Taxation and Eligibility for Investment
Any discussion of taxation and related matters contained in this Offering Memorandum does not
purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a
Canadian investor when deciding to purchase the Notes and, in particular, does not address any
Canadian tax considerations. No representation or warranty is hereby made as to the tax
consequences to a resident, or deemed resident, of Canada of an investment in the Notes or with
respect to the eligibility of the Notes for investment by such investor under relevant Canadian
federal and provincial legislation and regulations.
Rights of Action for Damages or Rescission
Securities legislation in certain of the Canadian jurisdictions provides certain purchasers of securities
pursuant to an offering memorandum, including where the distribution involves an "eligible foreign

and Registration Exemptions and in Multilateral Instrument 45 107 Listing Representation and
Statutory Rights of Action Disclosure Exemptions, as applicable, with a remedy for damages or
rescission, or both, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, where the offering
memorandum, or other offering document that constitutes an offering memorandum, and any
amendment thereto, contains a "misrepresentation" as defined under applicable Canadian securities
laws. These remedies, or notice with respect to these remedies, must be exercised or delivered, as
the case may be, by the purchaser within the time limits prescribed under, and are subject to
limitations and defenses under, applicable Canadian securities legislation. In addition, these
remedies are in addition to and without derogation from any other right or remedy available at law

Notice to Certain European Investors
European Economic Area. This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers
of the Notes will be made pursuant to an exemption under Article 3 of Directive 2003/71/EC (as
amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU, and including any relevant implementing measures in
the Relevant Member States, the "Prospectus Directive"), as implemented in member states of the
European Economic Area (the "EEA"), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of the
Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the Notes
should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or the Initial Purchasers to
produce a prospectus for such offer. Neither we nor the Initial Purchasers have authorized, nor do
they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes through any financial intermediary, other than
offers made by the Initial Purchasers, which constitute the final placement of the Notes
contemplated in this Offering Memorandum.
In relation to each member state of the EEA that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State"), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus
Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State, the offer of the Notes is not being made
and will not be made to the public in that Relevant Member State, other than: (a) to any legal entity
that is a "qualified investor" as defined in the Prospectus Directive, (b) to fewer than 150 natural or
legal persons (other than "qualified investors" as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted
under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant Initial
Purchaser or Initial Purchasers nominated by us for any such offer, or (c) in any other circumstances
falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive; provided that no such offer of the Notes shall
require the publication by us or any Initial Purchaser of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Directive. For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of Notes to the
public" in relation to the Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form
and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so
as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be varied in
that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant
Member State.
No prospectus is required in accordance with the Prospectus Directive and Regulation (EC)
No. 809/2004. Any advertisement (as defined in Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004) in relation to any
offering of the Notes in any Member State shall include a warning that no prospectus is required in
accordance with the Prospectus Directive and Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004.
Each subscriber for or purchaser of the Notes in the offering located within a member state of the
EEA will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a "qualified investor"
