The Company, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent and the Trustees agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined below) of the 8.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”):

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION

BY REFERENCE

Section 1.01 Definitions.

“Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person:

(1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is amalgamated or merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and

(2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person.

“Additional Notes” means Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued after the Issue Date under this Indenture in accordance with Sections 2.02, 4.08 and 4.09 hereof, as part of the same class as the Initial Notes.

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings.

“Agent” means any Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent or additional paying agent.

“Applicable Premium” means, as determined by the Company, with respect to any Note on any redemption date, the greater of:

(1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Note; or

(2) the excess of:

(a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the note at June 15, 2019 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 3.07(a)), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through June 15, 2019 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50.0 basis points; over

(b) the principal amount of the Note.

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear or Clearstream that apply to such transfer or exchange.

“Asset Sale” means:

(1) the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any property or assets by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by Section 4.16 and/or Section 5.01 of this Indenture and not by Section 4.17 of this Indenture; and

(2) the issuance of Equity Interests by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests in any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than statutory or directors’ qualifying shares).

Notwithstanding the preceding, each of the following items will be deemed not to be an Asset Sale:

(1) any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets having a Fair Market Value of less than US$10.0 million;

(2) a transfer of assets between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including to a Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such transfer;

(3) an issuance of Equity Interests by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(4) the issuance or disposition of the Equity Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(5) the sale, lease or other transfer of products (including, but not limited to minerals, ores, concentrates and refined metals), services or accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business, including the sale of the Company’s products pursuant to agreements for customary royalty and metal streaming arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(6) the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash Equivalents;

(7) licenses and sublicenses by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of software or intellectual property in the ordinary course of business;

(8) any sale, abandonment or other disposition of damaged, worn-out, redundant or obsolete assets in the ordinary course of business (including the abandonment or other disposition of mineral interests or intellectual property that is, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, no longer economically practicable to maintain or useful in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as whole), any sale or other disposition of surplus or redundant real property in the ordinary course of business and any dispositions of FF&E in connection with the maintenance and upgrading of FF&E;

(9) any surrender or waiver of contract rights or settlement, release, recovery on or surrender of contract, tort or other claims in the ordinary course of business and foreclosure or any similar action with respect to any property or other asset of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(10) the granting of Liens not prohibited by Section 4.09;

(11) a Restricted Payment that does not violate Section 4.07 or a Permitted Investment;

(12) dispositions resulting from farm-out, lease or sublease of any mining properties, licenses or rights or surface rights between joint venture parties set forth in joint venture agreements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business; and

(13) any exchange (other than with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company) of assets (including a combination of assets and Cash Equivalents) for assets or services related to a Permitted Business of comparable or greater market value or usefulness to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which in the event of an exchange of assets with a Fair Market Value in excess of US$25.0 million shall be set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that the Company shall apply any cash or Cash Equivalents received in any such exchange of assets as described in Section 4.17(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the following are deemed not to be Asset Sales: (a) expenditures and contributions by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at or in connection with the Gibraltar mine pursuant to the JV Agreement, and (b) expenditures and contributions by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any other joint venture in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has, at the time of contribution either a majority participating interest or equal control rights, and provided that the assets contributed or purchased with any investment of funds into such other joint venture are the assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary the value of which are ultimately available to satisfy such joint venture’s debts and that such contributions are made on a pro rata basis by the Company, any such Restricted Subsidiary and any other Person party to the joint venture pursuant to their respective participating interests.

“Attributable Debt” means, in respect of a sale and leaseback transaction, at the time of determination, the present value of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such sale and leaseback transaction including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended. Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if such sale and leaseback transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation.”

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only after the passage of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning.

“Board of Directors” means:

(1) with respect to a corporation, the board of directors of the corporation or any committee thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of such board;

(2) with respect to a partnership, the board of directors of the general partner of the partnership;

“Canadian Co-Trustee” means the Person named as the “Canadian Co-Trustee” in the first paragraph of this Indenture until a successor Canadian Co-Trustee shall have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter “Canadian Co-Trustee” shall mean or include each Person who is then a Canadian Co-Trustee hereunder.

“Capital Lease Obligation” means, at the time any determination is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a capital lease that would at that time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as provided in the provisos to this definition), and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due under such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be prepaid by the lessee without payment of a penalty, provided that obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries (a) either existing on the Issue Date or created thereafter that initially were not included on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as capital lease obligations and were subsequently re-characterized as capital lease obligations due to a change in accounting treatment, or (b) that did not exist on the Issue Date and were required to be characterized as capital lease obligations, but would not have been required to be treated as capital lease obligations on the Issue Date had they existed at that time (due to a change in accounting treatment between the Issue Date and the time of incurrence of such obligations), shall for all purposes not be treated as Capital Lease Obligations, and provided further that any guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Capital Lease Obligation attributable to Cariboo pursuant to the JV Agreement shall be characterized for purposes of this Indenture as a Capital Lease Obligation of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable.

“Capital Stock” means:

(1) in the case of a corporation, common or preferred shares in its share capital;

(3) certificates of deposit and eurodollar time deposits with maturities of twelve months or less from the date of acquisition, bankers’ acceptances with maturities not exceeding 365 days and overnight bank deposits, in each case, with any bank referred to in Schedule I or Schedule II of the Bank Act (Canada) or rated at least A-1 or the equivalent thereof by S&P, at least P-1 or the equivalent thereof by Moody’s or at least R-1 or the equivalent thereof by DBRS;

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustees and the Collateral Agent, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by either of the Trustees or the Custodian, at the direction of either of the Trustees, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

(a) At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

(b) The U.S. Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two Officers (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

The U.S. Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustees may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by a Trustee includes authentication by any such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

(c) A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of a Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange, including the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and interest on the Notes.

While any such default continues, the Trustees may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to a Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to a Trustee. Upon payment over to a Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for such money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the U.S. Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustees will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to them of the names and addresses of all Holders. If a Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the U.S. Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as any Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as such Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by a Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by a Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of a Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by a Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of a Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and a Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge will be required to be made by a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or by a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.16, 4.17 and 9.04 hereof).

(3) The Registrar and the Trustees may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid Obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustees, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustees, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(7) The Trustees will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

(a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to a Trustee or the Company and such Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by a Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustees and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustees, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for any expenses in replacing a Note.

(b) Every replacement Note is an additional Obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustees except for those subsequently canceled by the Trustees, those delivered to the Trustees for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustees in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustees receive satisfactory proof that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York).

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds for the benefit of Holders, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver or consent pursuant to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustees will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustees know are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and a Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustees. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and a Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustees for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustees any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. A Trustee (and no one else) will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to any applicable record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, except for Additional Notes issued in accordance with this Indenture.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest

4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustees in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

All reference to “interest” in this Indenture and the Notes mean the initial interest rate borne by the Notes and any increases in that rate due to defaulted interest, unless this Indenture states otherwise.

Section 2.13 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under this Indenture and the Notes.

Section 2.14 Interest Payment Date; Record Date.

Interest on outstanding Notes will accrue at the rate of 8.750% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2017 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1 (each, a “Record Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Solely for the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such computation is equivalent during any particular period is the rate so used multiplied by a fraction of which:

(a) the numerator is the product of:

(1) the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such period ends, and

(2) the sum of (A) the product of (x) 30 and (y) the number of complete months elapsed in the relevant period and (B) the number of days elapsed in any incomplete month in the relevant period, and

(b) the denominator is the product of (i) 360 and (ii) the actual number of days in the relevant period.

provided however, that, (x) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts and (y) at the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

(e) Prior to the publication or, where relevant, sending of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07(d), the Company will deliver to the Trustees an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing, to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Company to redeem the Notes under Section 3.07(d). In addition, before the Company publishes or sends notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07(d), it will deliver to the Trustees an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it and all other conditions for such redemption have been met. The Trustees shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion of independent tax counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08 No Mandatory Redemption.

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other reserve payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.17 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and certain holders of First Lien Debt secured by Collateral, as provided in Section 4.17(c), it will follow the procedures specified in this Section 3.09 and in Sections 4.17:

(a) The Asset Sale Offer will commence as set forth in Section 4.17(c) and shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Sale Offer Period”).

(b) Promptly following the expiration of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the “Asset Sale Purchase Date”), the Company shall apply the Excess Proceeds to purchase, prepay or redeem, as applicable, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such First Lien Debt secured by Collateral (plus the payment of all accrued interest thereon, and all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such Excess Proceeds (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) (the “Asset Sale Purchase Amount”).

(c) Payment for any Notes purchased in an Asset Sale Offer shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(d) If the Asset Sale Purchase Date is on or after an interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

(e) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send or cause to be sent, by first class mail, a notice to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustees. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.17 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

(2) the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, including the amount of Excess Proceeds, the purchase price and the expected Asset Sale Purchase Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale Purchase Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in the principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(6) specifying the procedures (including, without limitation, the Applicable Procedures, to the extent applicable) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to comply with;

(7) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and applicable First Lien Debt tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith, exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the purchase will be made on a pro rata basis based on principal amount; and

(8) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

(f) On or before the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Asset Sale Purchase Amount in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and to be accepted pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustees the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and accepted for purchase the Asset Sale Purchase Amount for such Notes, and the Trustees will promptly authenticate and send (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. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of this Indenture .

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale Offer provisions of this Section 3.09 or 4.17, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such Asset Sale Offer provisions by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.08 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.08(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed, at any time outstanding, the greater of (x) US$50.0 million and (y) 8.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets;

(6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being 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 that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(7) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that any:

(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

(8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations or Treasury Management Arrangements in the ordinary course of business;

(9) the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.08; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(10) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting Acquired Debt; provided that such Acquired Debt is not incurred in contemplation of the related acquisition or merger; provided, further, that after giving effect to such acquisition and the incurrence of Indebtedness, either (i) the Company would be permitted to incur at least US$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.08(a) or (ii) the Company would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio not less than the actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.08(a);

(11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of (A) workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business, (B) performance bonds, bank guarantees or similar obligations for or in connection with pledges, deposits or payments made or given in relation to such performance bonds, bank guarantees or similar instruments in the ordinary course of business in connection with or to secure statutory, regulatory or similar obligations, including obligations under mining, health, safety, affected local community or aboriginal peoples’ benefits, reclamation, mine closure or other environmental obligations or in relation to infrastructure arrangements owned or provided to or applied for by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (C) letters of credit issued or incurred to support the purchase of supplies and equipment, including fuel, in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (D) deferred payments under power rate deferral programs of the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority;

(12) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five business days;

(13) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with any acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations consisting of take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements incurred in the ordinary course of business; and

(15) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (15), not to exceed the greater of (x) US$50.0 million and (y) 8.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets.

(c) The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured, by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) of Section 4.08(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock or operating leases as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. 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 utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

(e) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.09 Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless, solely in the case of assets not constituting Collateral, contemporaneously therewith:

(1) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a guarantee of the Notes, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; and

(2) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, prior to the Lien securing such subordinated Indebtedness.

(b) Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, (1) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one clause of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (2) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the clauses of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof), the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.

Section 4.10 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

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

(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 owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 4.10(a) shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and any related collateral documents as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date;

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

(3) agreements governing other Indebtedness (including Credit Facilities) permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described in Section 4.08 of this Indenture and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions will not materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to make required principal and interest payments on the Notes;

(4) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

(6) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.10;

(8) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness will not materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to make required principal and interest payments on the Notes;

(10) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described in Section 4.09 of this Indenture that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

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

(13) restrictions imposed under the Osisko Silver Sale Agreement and the Franco-Nevada Agreement, in each case, as in effect on the Issue Date and as amended, supplemented, extended, restated or replaced; provided that any amendment, supplement, extension, restatement or replacement of such agreements is not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of US$10.0 million, unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustees, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of US$15.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.11:

(1) any employment agreement, severance agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(4) payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;

(7) Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of this Indenture described in Section 4.07;

(8) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed US$2.5 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; and

(9) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby.

Section 4.12 Business Activities.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.13 Additional Guarantees.

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary or a Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture) after the Issue Date, or if any Immaterial Subsidiary ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, then that newly acquired or created Subsidiary or former Immaterial Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary, as applicable, will become a Guarantor and execute a Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture, execute an amendment, supplement or other instrument in respect of the Collateral Agreements (including joinders to any intercreditor agreements) and deliver an Opinion of Counsel, in each case satisfactory to the Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, within 30 business days of the date on which it is acquired or created or ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary, as applicable. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

Section 4.14 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default; provided that in no event will the business operated by the Gibraltar Subsidiary on the Issue Date be transferred to or held by an Unrestricted Subsidiary. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof or one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company.

(c) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustees by filing with the Trustees a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 of this Indenture.

(d) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if:

(1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.08 of this Indenture, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and

(2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

(e) If, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements of clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 4.14 as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described in Section 4.08 of this Indenture, the Company will be in default of such covenant.

Section 4.15 Reports.

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustees and to the Holders of Notes or cause the Trustees to furnish to the Holders of Notes (or furnish to the SEC for public availability):

(1) Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, all annual financial information and certifications that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Form 20-F or, if the Company is eligible to use such Form, Form 40-F, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent accounting firm;

(2) Within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, all interim quarterly financial information that would be required to be contained in quarterly reports under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof to security holders of a company with securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, in each case including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and whether or not the Company has any of its securities listed on such exchange; and

(3) Within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, all current reports that would be required to be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K if the Company were required to furnish these reports.

(b) The Company shall furnish a copy of each of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 4.15(a) to the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such reports) and will post the reports on its website within those time periods.

(c) If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company shall nevertheless furnish the information and reports specified in Section 4.15(a) to the SEC within the time periods specified in Section 4.15(a) unless the SEC will not accept such reports. The Company shall not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such reports. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s reports for any reason, the Company shall post the reports referred to in Section 4.15(a) on its website within the time periods described in Section 4.15(a).

(d) If the Company has designated any of its Significant Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.15(a) and Section 4.15(b) shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, 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 of the Company.

(e) In addition, the Company agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it shall furnish to the Holders of the Notes, Beneficial Owners of the Notes, and prospective investors, securities analysts and market makers in the Notes upon their request, the information and reports described in this Section 4.15 and any other information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 4.16 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to US$2,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a change of control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(b) Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to the Trustees and each Holder:

(1) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control;

(2) stating the purchase price and repurchase date, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.16 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment;

(4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(5) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent in accordance with the provisions, and within the timeframe, set forth in the notice;

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if they properly deliver to the Paying Agent a withdrawal instruction in accordance with the procedures, and within the timeframe, specified in the notice;

(8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; and

(9) stating any conditions to the Company’s Change of Control Offer.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Section 4.16, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Section 4.16 by virtue of such compliance.

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

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

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustees the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustees will promptly authenticate and send (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. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.16, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described in Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(f) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or a third party making the Change of Control Offer as provided above) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Company will

have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date of redemption).

Section 4.17 Asset Sales.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days after the Asset Sale, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company in such Asset Sale 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 US$10.0 million and 1% of Consolidated 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); and

(D) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of Section 4.17(b) of this Indenture.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

(1) to the extent the Net Proceeds are attributable to an Asset Sale of assets that constitute Collateral, to repay the Notes, any First Lien Debt secured by the Collateral or any other Indebtedness and other Obligations to which the Lien securing the Notes are contractually subordinated, and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2) to the extent the Net Proceeds are attributable to an Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral, to repay the Notes or any other secured Indebtedness, and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto and, if the Notes are not then secured by the Collateral, to repay the Notes or any other unsecured Indebtedness;

(3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(4) to make a capital expenditure in respect of a Permitted Business; or

(5) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

In the case of clause (3) of this Section 4.17(b), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition is consummated, and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.17(b) of this Indenture will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds US$25.0 million, within thirty days of exceeding such amount, the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of First Lien Debt secured by Collateral containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such First Lien Debt secured by Collateral (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds.

(d) The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and will be payable in cash.

(e) If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

(f) If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and First Lien Debt secured by Collateral tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustees shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based

on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of US$2,000, or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Section 4.18 Additional Amounts

(a) All payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes, unless the withholding or deduction is then required by law. If any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor (including any successor or other surviving entity) is then organized, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”) will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, including, without limitation, payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to any of the following (referred to herein as “Excluded Taxes”);

(1) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder or Beneficial Owner (or fiduciary, settlor, partner, member or shareholder of the Holder, as the case may be) of the Notes being a citizen or resident or national of, organized in or carrying on a business, in the relevant Tax Jurisdiction in which such Taxes are imposed or having any other present or former connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere acquisition, holding, enforcement or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes;

(2) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes to comply with any reasonable written request, made to that Holder or Beneficial Owner in writing at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be payable, by the Company or any Paying Agent to provide timely and accurate information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or Beneficial Owner or to make any valid and timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification, information or other reporting requirement, which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction in all or part of such Taxes;

(3) any Note presented for payment more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder or Beneficial Owner (except to the extent that the Holder or Beneficial Owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on any day during such 30-day period);

(4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

(5) any Tax required to be withheld or deducted under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any amended or successor versions of such Sections (“FATCA”), any regulations or other guidance thereunder, or any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA;

(6) any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed because the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes does not deal at arm’s length with the Company or a relevant Guarantor or Paying Agent for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) at a relevant time;

(7) any Taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment on or with respect to the Notes to a Holder that is a fiduciary, a partnership or a person other than the sole Beneficial Owner of any such payment, if such Taxes would not have been imposed had the beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the Beneficial Owner of such payment been the Holder of the Note; or

(8) any combination of items (1) through (7) of this Section 4.18(a).

The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustees shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Company will provide the Trustees with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustees evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

A certificate as to the amount of such requested indemnification, delivered by such Trustee or such Holder, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, the Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustees and each Holder for any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in a Tax Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of the Notes on the Issue Date or with respect to payments on the Notes.

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, a Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately and may instruct the Collateral Agent to enforce the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.

Section 6.03 Collateral Enforcement.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (including the Osisko Intercreditor Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent in effect at such time)), the Collateral Agent may, at any time:

(1) realize upon or otherwise dispose of or contract to dispose of the Pledged Assets by sale, transfer or delivery;

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral is subject to the limitations under the JV Agreement, inter alia, that govern the granting by a JV Participant of a Lien over or in respect of its rights under the JV Agreement, including its Participating Interest, including:

(1) any right that the Collateral Agent has to deal with the Collateral is subject to the provisions of Article 14 (Transfer of Interest) of the JV Agreement, it being expressly provided that the exercise or enforcement by the Collateral Agent (or any Person claiming through or under the Collateral Agent) of any power of sale or other power of enforcement of its security interest in the Collateral shall be subject to the provisions of Article 14 of the JV Agreement, including those described in the Offering Memorandum;

(7) Under the Collateral Agreements, the Collateral Agent will agree that Cariboo will be a third party beneficiary of the covenants described in this Section 6.03(b) limiting the Collateral Agent’s recourse in respect of Collateral as if Cariboo were a “party” referred to in the Collateral Agreements for so long as Cariboo is party to the JV Agreement. These restrictions will be binding on the Collateral Agent’s successors and assignees under the Collateral Agreements and enure to the benefit of Cariboo’s and Collateral Agent’s respective successors and assignees under the Collateral Agreements; and

(8) Any Lien permitted in accordance with the conditions described in this Section 6.03(b) shall rank junior to any security the parties to the JV Agreement grant in favor of each other to secure the performance of the JV Agreement.

(b) A Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustees, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.05 Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes (i) waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, (ii) rescind an acceleration or any instruction to enforce the Collateral, except where such rescission would conflict with any judgment or decree. Upon such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, provided that no such waiver shall extend to subsequent or other Defaults or impair any right consequent thereon pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.

(b) In the event of any cross-default Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of the acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustees or the Holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, or

(2) the Holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or

(3) if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustees or exercising any trust or power conferred on them, provided that:

(2) the Trustees may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustees which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(3) the Trustees need not take any action which might involve them in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting.

Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustees shall be entitled to security or indemnity satisfactory to them in their sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.07 Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustees and the Collateral Agent written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustees to pursue the remedy and, if applicable, instructions to the Collateral Agent to enforce the Collateral;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustees and the Collateral Agent security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustees and the Collateral Agent against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustees and the Collateral Agent do not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent a direction inconsistent with such request.

(b) Holders of the Notes may not independently enforce the Collateral, except through the Collateral Agent, as provided in the Collateral Agreements.

Section 6.08 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.09 Collection Suit by Trustee or Collateral Agent.

If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may recover judgment (a) in its own name and (b)(1) in the case of the Trustee, as trustee of an express trust or (2) in the case of the Collateral Agent, as noteholder Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders, in each case against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees, the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel.

Section 6.10 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

Each Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustees and the Collateral Agent, as applicable (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees, the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to a Trustee or the Collateral Agent, and in the event that the Trustees shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to each Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees, the Collateral Agent or their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agreements and Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustees under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustees to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

The Trustees may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against a Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee or the Collateral Agent, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an

undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1) the duties of the Trustees will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustees need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or Obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustees; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustees may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustees and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustees will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c) A Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 8.02, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustees, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(9) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Any money deposited with a Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Agreements or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of, or change the fixed maturity of, any note or alter or waive any of the provisions relating to the dates on which the Notes may be redeemed or the redemption price thereof (including the premium payable thereon) with respect to the redemption of the Notes;

(b) The entering into any Intercreditor Agreement by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the absence of the Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel contemplated by the proviso in Section 12.01(b)(3) of this Indenture will require the consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(c) In addition, any amendment to or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral or the Collateral Agreements that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66 ²/₃% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, provided however, that all Collateral shall be released from the Liens securing the Notes upon the discharge of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes and the Note Guarantees through redemption of all of the Notes outstanding or payment in full of the obligations under this Indenture at maturity or otherwise, or upon any defeasance as described in Article 8 or Article 10.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives a properly delivered written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustees may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05 Trustees to Sign Amendments, etc.

Each Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect its rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustees will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.02 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustees and to the Trustees and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Agreements or the Obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustees and the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder or under any Collateral Agreement will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their Obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, any Collateral Agreement or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder, the Collateral Agent or a Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid to either the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, the Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Insolvency Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustees, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its execution of this Indenture evidences its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Article 11.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by a Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary after the Issue Date, if required by Section 4.13 hereof, the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.13 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

Section 11.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge or amalgamate with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2) either:

(a) subject to Section 11.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, merger or amalgamation either (i) continues to be a Guarantor or (ii) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, this Indenture and applicable Collateral Agreements pursuant to a supplemental indenture and an amendment, supplement or other instrument in respect of such Collateral Agreements, in each case, satisfactory to the Trustees; or

(b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

provided, however, that the transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of, directly or indirectly, the Guarantors as a whole will be governed by Article 5 and may be subject to Section 4.17.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustees and satisfactory in form to the Trustees, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b) of this Section 11.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 11.05 Releases.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor, by way of consolidation, merger, amalgamation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.17 of this Indenture;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.17 of this Indenture and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(3) if the Company designates such Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

(4) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in Article 8 and Article 10 of this Indenture.

Any Guarantor not released from its Obligations under its Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other Obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note:

(3) appoints and authorizes each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustees to enter into, deliver, perform and otherwise exercise its rights and obligations under (i) on the date hereof, the Osisko Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) at a future date, the Intercreditor Agreement with a First Lien Agent and, as a result of the entry into such Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii), acknowledges that any Lien on the Collateral will thereby and at that time become contractually subordinated to any Lien held by a First Lien Agent pursuant to the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement, provided that, prior to entering into the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Intercreditor Agreement is not inconsistent with the Future ICA Provisions (as defined in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of the Notes—Security—Future Intercreditor Agreement”) and does not conflict with the Notes Documents in any material respect and an Opinion of Counsel that the execution, delivery and performance by Collateral Agent of the Intercreditor Agreement is permitted by this Indenture. Such Officer’s Certificate shall designate such intercreditor agreement as the Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustees and the Collateral Agent, may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such Intercreditor Agreement which adversely affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture or otherwise, as determined in the sole discretion of the Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

(b) If property constituting Additional Notes Collateral is not automatically subject to a Lien or perfected security interest under the Collateral Agreements, then the Company will, as soon as practicable, grant Liens on such property constituting Additional Notes Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent and take all necessary steps to perfect the security interest represented by such Liens.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, all purchasers and grantees of any property or rights purporting to be released herefrom shall be entitled to rely upon any release executed by the Collateral Agent hereunder as sufficient for the purpose of this Indenture and as constituting a good and valid release of the property therein described from the Lien of this Indenture or of the Collateral Agreements.

Section 13.09 Currency Indemnity.

(a) The Company, and each Guarantor, shall pay all sums payable under this Indenture, the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as applicable, solely in U.S. dollars.

[Back of Note]

8.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2022

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Taseko Mines Limited, a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 8.750% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates set forth on the face of this Note to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding Record Date, as set forth on the face of this Note. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note (or, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date and the next Interest Payment Date, from such Interest Payment Date) or, if no interest has been paid, from June 14, 2017. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Insolvency Laws) on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) from time to time on demand at the rate equal to 1.0% per annum in excess of 8.750% to the extent lawful. Interest not paid when due, and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due, will be paid to Persons who are Holders on a special record date to be fixed by the Company, provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustees in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

All reference to “interest” in this Note and the Indenture mean the initial interest rate borne by the Notes and any increases in that rate due to defaulted interest (unless the Indenture states otherwise).

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding an Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).

The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

A-4

Not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date of any principal of, or interest on, any Notes, or any redemption or purchase price of the Notes, the Company will deposit with the either Trustee (or Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay such amounts.

At any time that Notes are held as Definitive Notes, such Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that such payment by check may only be paid so long as no Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing.

All payments shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the U.S. Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity; provided no Event of Default is continuing.

(4) INDENTURE; COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS; INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 14, 2017 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Co-Trustee and Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured by the Collateral under the Collateral Agreements. The Trustees and the Collateral Agent are parties to the Osisko Intercreditor Agreement and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, are authorized to execute the Intercreditor Agreement with a First Lien Agent.

(5) RANKING. This Note shall constitute a senior obligation of the Company and the Obligation of the Company under the Indenture and this Note shall be secured pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and will be subject to the Osisko Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(6) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Notes are subject to redemption as provided in Article III of the Indenture.

(7) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

In addition, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds of Asset Sales exceeds US$25.0 million, the Company shall be required to make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes, as provided in Section 4.17 of the Indenture, with an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase.

A-5

(b) Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive notice of a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

(9) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

(10) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustees will not be required to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange, any Note or certain portions of a Note.

(11) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under the Indenture and this Note.

(13) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, a Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustees or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustees, subject to the requirements set forth in the Indenture.

So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustees, forthwith upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default The Trustees may withhold from Holders the notice of any Default if, and so long as, the Trustees determine in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any.
