Article 2

The Securities

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in Appendix A attached hereto (“Appendix A”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1, Exhibit 1.2 and Exhibit 1.3 to Appendix A, in the case of the 2026 144A Securities, 2026 Regulation S Securities and 2026 Registered Global Securities, respectively, and Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 2.2 and Exhibit 2.3 to Appendix A, in the case of the 2031 144A Securities, 2031 Regulation S Securities and 2031 Registered Global Securities, respectively, which are hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Securities of each series may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Securities set forth in Appendix A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual, electronic or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee, upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company, together with the other documents required by Sections 13.04 and 13.05, shall authenticate (i) 2026 Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600,000,000 and (ii) Additional 2026 Securities. The Trustee, upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company, together with the other documents required by Sections 13.04 and 13.05, shall authenticate (i) 2031 Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $400,000,000 and (ii) Additional 2031 Securities. Such written orders of the Company shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

13

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company incorporated or organized within The United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities of each series.

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Securities.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities of a series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of such series and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.05. Lists of Holders of Securities. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of each series. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date with respect to a series of Securities and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of such series.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities of each series shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar, if any, with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture (including the Appendix A thereto) are met. When Securities of a series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar, if any, with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of such series of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Definitive Security or Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

14

Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or either the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of evidence of authentication in accordance with Section 2.02, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements for replacement of Securities are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Trustee and the Company each may charge such Holder for their expenses in replacing such Security.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities of a series outstanding at any time are all Securities of such series authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) of a series to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Trustee’s internal policies and procedures and of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

15

SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of a series, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) on such series in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest on a series of Securities to the persons who are Holders of Securities of such series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Securities of such series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities.

SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Securities. After the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, to issue Additional Securities of any series under this Indenture, which Securities shall have identical terms as the Securities of the same series issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and rights under a related Registration Rights Agreement. All 2026 Securities issued under this Indenture (including any Additional 2026 Securities) shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, and all 2031 Securities issued under this Indenture (including any Additional 2031 Securities) shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

The 2026 Securities and the 2031 Securities each shall be treated as a separate class for all purposes of this Indenture, including in respect of waivers, amendments, redemptions, offers to purchase and the application of, and determination of compliance with, the covenants contained in Article 4 hereof.

With respect to any Additional Securities of a series, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1) the series and the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture that the Company is relying on to issue such Additional Securities; and

(2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number and ISIN, if any, of such Additional Securities; provided, however, that if the Additional Securities are not fungible with the applicable series of Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Securities will have a separate CUSIP number; and provided further that if any Additional Securities are subject to resale restrictions under Canadian securities laws which expire on a date different from the date specified in Section 2.03(f)(3), such Additional Securities will have a separate CUSIP permitting them to be distinguished from the applicable series of Securities for purposes of permitting compliance with such resale restrictions.

16

In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a written order as described in Section 2.01, an Opinion of Counsel as to enforceability of the Additional Securities, together with an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions precedent to the issuance and authentication of the Additional Securities have been satisfied.

SECTION 2.14. Additional Interest.

If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and paragraph 1 of the Securities of any series, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the series and the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such interest is payable pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate or instruction or direction from the Company in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. The foregoing shall not prejudice the rights of the Holders with respect to their entitlement to Additional Interest as otherwise set forth in this Indenture or the Securities including the right to pursue any action against the Company directly or otherwise direct the Trustee to take any such action in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such payment.

Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that notice to the holders of such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such series to be redeemed, (1) if such Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Securities are listed, (2) if such Securities are not so listed but are in global form, by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC or (3) such Securities are not so listed and are not in global form, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; although no Security of $2,000 in original principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities of a series, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent (in the case of Securities held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission) a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities of such series to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. Notwithstanding the above, when notice has to be given to a holder of a global security (including any notice of redemption) such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with Applicable Procedures. Notices to the Trustee may be given by email in PDF format.

17

The notice shall identify the Securities of such series to be redeemed and shall state:

(2) the redemption price;

(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(7) the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, ISIN, or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate delivered five Business Days prior to notification of the Holders (unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period) containing the information required by this Section.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent, Securities of a series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), and such Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee.

(7) the entry of a decree or order by a court of competent jurisdiction adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or any other applicable insolvency law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of the property of the Company, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; and

(8) the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, or the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or any other applicable insolvency law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of the property of the Company, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to this Section 6.01 with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall automatically and without any other action taken by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in any Notice of Default, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee shall have received such Notice of Default. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such Notice of Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined in such Notice of Default prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different from a Notice of Default previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a Notice of Default identical to a Notice of Default that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

29

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01 with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount, if any, of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount of all of the Securities of such series and all interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders) and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified portion thereof) shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in U.S. dollars,

(A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Outstanding Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be),

(B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be) which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest, if any, on such unpaid principal (and premium, if any) at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest, if any, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be) other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Securities because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or otherwise paid in full.

30

Upon the Trustee providing any declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof pursuant to this Section 6.02 with respect to Securities of any series all or part of which are represented by a Global Security, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the date the Trustee shall have provided such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date (or their duly appointed agents), such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may by, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different from a declaration previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a declaration identical to a declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02.

SECTION 6.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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 Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name, as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be) by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

31

SECTION 6.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any), or such portion of the principal amount of any series of original issue discount security or indexed securities as may be specified in the terms of the Securities, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of such series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payment to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 6.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and THIRD: The balance, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

32

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Securities of any series, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series;

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 6.08. Unconditional Contractual Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the contractual right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein (including, if applicable, Article 8) and in such Security of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date or) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

33

SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series in respect of which an Event of Default has occurred shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series, provided that in each case (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee shall have received such direction. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent of a Holder) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from a direction previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a direction identical to a direction that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.12.

SECTION 6.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date (or their duly designated agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

34

Upon any 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; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date).

SECTION 6.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted; provided that this Section shall not prohibit the Company from exercising any rights it may have under this Indenture to contest any actions taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Section.

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the recitals contained herein or as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture (or any supplement thereto) or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs with respect to any Securities of any series and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder of such series a notice of the Default within 30 days after written notice of it is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of such series.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Starting no more than twelve months after the Issue Date, and in stated intervals of no more than every twelve months thereafter, the Trustee shall send to each Holder of a Security a brief report dated September 14 of the applicable year that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b).

A copy of each report at the time such report is sent to a Holder of a Security shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which Securities of any series are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities of any series become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees to: (i) pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as has been agreed to by the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust; (ii) reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services (such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts); (iii) indemnify the Trustee and its agents against any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence.

38

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11, United States Code, the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or any similar federal, provincial, territorial or state law for the relief of debtors.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by so notifying with 31 days prior notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company, or is removed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of one or more series and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to each such series, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with respect to one or more series (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to each such series.

If deemed appropriate by the Company considering all relevant circumstances, including in the event of a change in applicable law governing the Company requiring the Company to have a Trustee that is incorporated under the laws of Canada or a foreign jurisdiction and/or duly authorized under such laws to carry on the business of a trustee and in the event that a Successor Company assuming the obligations of the Company is required to have a Trustee that is incorporated under the laws of Canada or a foreign jurisdiction and/or duly authorized under such laws to carry on the business of a trustee, then the Company or, as applicable, the Successor Company, shall be entitled to appoint a co-Trustee meeting the requirements of applicable legislation (a “Co-Trustee”). The Co-Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the existing Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the appointment of the Co-Trustee shall become effective, and the Co-Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The Co-Trustee shall send a notice of its appointment to Holders of the Securities. If such Co-Trustee shall cease to be eligible under applicable legislation, then such Co-Trustee shall be required to resign and the Company shall be entitled to remove such Co-Trustee and appoint a successor Co-Trustee following the procedures contained herein for a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee with respect to such series shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to such series. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders of the Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities to the successor Trustee of such series, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

39

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Securities.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. The Trustee shall have at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee and its affiliates shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

Article 8

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to all Outstanding Securities of a series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

40

SECTION 8.02. Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of the Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09, and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 12.01, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 with respect to Securities of any series notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Securities of such series.

SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to Securities of any series, and unless and until the Company has exercised its option applicable to Section 8.02 with respect to Securities of the same series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.04, 4.05 and 5.03 with respect to the Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”, and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration (and the consequences thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that with respect to such Outstanding Securities the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any covenants set out in Sections 4.02, 4.04, 4.05 and 5.03, 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, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise of such covenant defeasance, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 below, Clauses (3), (4) and (6) of Section 6.01 hereof shall not constitute “Events of Default”.

SECTION 8.04. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 to the Outstanding Securities of any series:

(3) no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(4) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

(5) in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(6) in the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 8.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 8.03 (as the case may be) have been complied with;

42

(8) the Company is not an “insolvent person” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) on the date of such deposit and after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a Company request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of financial advisors or independent public accountants (expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Company, together with an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 8.05 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.05; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any such Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or paying agent.

43

(1) cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect;

After an amendment under this Section 10.01 becomes effective with respect to a series of Securities, the Company shall send to Holders of such series a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders of such series, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 10.01.

SECTION 10.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities or the Securities of such series with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series affected (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities of such series) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series affected.

(9) [Reserved]

46

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of the other series.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly designated agents, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

It shall not be necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if the substance thereof shall be approved.

SECTION 10.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or any series of Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 10.04. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 10.05. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

SECTION 10.06. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

SECTION 10.07. Notice of Supplemental Indentures. Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected, in the manner set forth in Section 13.01, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture.

Article 12

Additional Amounts

SECTION 12.01. Payment of Additional Amounts

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to any series of Securities will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or any Province or territory thereof or by or on behalf of any other jurisdiction from or through which payment on any such notes is made or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter “Indemnified Taxes”), unless the Company is required to withhold or deduct Indemnified Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency. If the Company is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Indemnified Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Securities, the Company will pay to each Holder as additional interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Indemnified Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Indemnified Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder (herein, an “Excluded Holder”):

(1) with which the Company does not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”)) at the time of the making of such payment, or where the Holder is, or does not deal at arm’s length with any person that is, a “specified shareholder” of the Company for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Canadian Tax Act;

(2) which is subject to such Indemnified Taxes by reason of the Holder being a resident, domicile or national of, or engaged in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise having some connection with Canada or any province or territory thereof or other applicable taxing jurisdiction or other applicable taxing jurisdiction otherwise than by the mere holding of the Securities or the receipt of payments thereunder;

(3) which is subject to such Indemnified Taxes by reason of the Holder’s failure to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Indemnified Taxes; or

(4) for or on account of any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to a holder or beneficial owner pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“FATCA”), or any successor version thereof, or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority or any taxes or penalties that arise from the holder or beneficial owner’s failure to properly comply with its obligations under the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) or any treaty, law or regulation or other official guidance enacted by Canada implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, including, for greater certainty, Part XVIII and Part XIX of the Canadian Tax Act.

48

(b) The Company shall also: (1) make such withholding or deduction; and (2) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Company shall furnish to the Holders, within 60 days after the date the payment of any Indemnified Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencing such payment by the Company.

(d) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder (other than an Excluded Holder) and upon written request reimburse each such Holder for the amount (excluding any Additional Amounts that have been previously paid by the Company) of:

(1) any Indemnified Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Securities;

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

(3) any Indemnified Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under Section 12.01(d)(1) and (2), but excluding any such Indemnified Taxes on such Holder’s net income.

(e) Wherever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or any other amount payable under or with respect to a Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF 2026 144A SECURITY]

CGI INC.

1.450% Notes due 2026

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

1. INTEREST. CGI Inc. (the “Company”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 1.450% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 14 and September 14 of each year, commencing March 14, 2022. Interest on the 2026 Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 14, 2021. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in this Indenture or any Securities issued hereunder interest at a specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the 2026 Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2026 Securities at the close of business on the February 28 and August 31 next preceding the interest payment date even if such 2026 Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender 2026 Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the 2026 Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated 2026 Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the 2026 Securities under an Indenture dated as of September 14, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its 1.450% Notes due 2026, initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000. The terms of the 2026 Securities include those stated in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms (which for greater certainty includes the right of exchange of the 2026 Securities provided in Appendix A to the Indenture, which is an express term of this Security). Any term used in this Security that is defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

A-20

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

a. Prior to August 14, 2026 (the “2026 Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the 2026 Securities in whole or in part, any time or from time to time, prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to the 2026 Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

b. At any time and from time to time on or after the 2026 Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2026 Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

6. CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 5 hereof to redeem the 2026 Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Securities, to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2026 Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such 2026 Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE. The 2026 Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2026 Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a 2026 Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the 2026 Security not to be redeemed) or any 2026 Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2026 Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. Transfer may be restricted as provided in the Indenture.

8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. UNCLAIMED MONEY. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the 2026 Securities and the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Securities if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the 2026 Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-21

11. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, or the 2026 Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the 2026 Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2026 Securities), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the 2026 Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2026 Securities (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2026 Securities). Without the consent of any Holder of a 2026 Security, the Indenture or the 2026 Securities may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2026 Securities are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of 2026 Securities and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2026 Securities or the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Securities or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a 2026 Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the 2026 Securities.

CGI INC.

1.450% Notes due 2026

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

1. INTEREST. CGI Inc. (the “Company”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 1.450% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 14 and September 14 of each year, commencing March 14, 2022. Interest on the 2026 Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 14, 2021. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in this Indenture or any Securities issued hereunder interest at a specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the 2026 Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2026 Securities at the close of business on the February 28 and August 31 next preceding the interest payment date even if such 2026 Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender 2026 Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the 2026 Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated 2026 Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the 2026 Securities under an Indenture dated as of September 14, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its 1.450% Notes due 2026, initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000. The terms of the 2026 Securities include those stated in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms (which for greater certainty includes the right of exchange of the 2026 Securities provided in Appendix A to the Indenture, which is an express term of this Security). Any term used in this Security that is defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

A-31

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

a. Prior to August 14, 2026 (the “2026 Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the 2026 Securities in whole or in part, any time or from time to time, prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to the 2026 Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

b. At any time and from time to time on or after the 2026 Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2026 Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

6. CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 5 hereof to redeem the 2026 Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Securities, to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2026 Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such 2026 Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE. The 2026 Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2026 Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a 2026 Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the 2026 Security not to be redeemed) or any 2026 Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2026 Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. Transfer may be restricted as provided in the Indenture.

8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. UNCLAIMED MONEY. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the 2026 Securities and the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Securities if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the 2026 Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-32

11. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, or the 2026 Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the 2026 Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2026 Securities), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the 2026 Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2026 Securities (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2026 Securities). Without the consent of any Holder of a 2026 Security, the Indenture or the 2026 Securities may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2026 Securities are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of 2026 Securities and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2026 Securities or the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Securities or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a 2026 Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the 2026 Securities.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually or electronically signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

17. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the 2026 Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of 2026 Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2026 Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 5 hereof to redeem the 2026 Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Securities, to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2026 Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such 2026 Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE. The 2026 Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2026 Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2026 Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a 2026 Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the 2026 Security not to be redeemed) or any 2026 Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2026 Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. Transfer may be restricted as provided in the Indenture.

8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. UNCLAIMED MONEY. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the 2026 Securities and the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Securities if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the 2026 Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-42

11. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, or the 2026 Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the 2026 Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2026 Securities), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the 2026 Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2026 Securities (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2026 Securities). Without the consent of any Holder of a 2026 Security, the Indenture or the 2026 Securities may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2026 Securities are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of 2026 Securities and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2026 Securities or the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Securities or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a 2026 Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the 2026 Securities.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually or electronically signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

17. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the 2026 Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of 2026 Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2026 Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF 2031 144A SECURITY]

CGI INC.

2.300% Notes due 2031

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

1. INTEREST. CGI Inc. (the “Company”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 2.300% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 14 and September 14 of each year, commencing March 14, 2022. Interest on the 2031 Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 14, 2021. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in this Indenture or any Securities issued hereunder interest at a specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the 2031 Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2031 Securities at the close of business on the February 28 and August 31 next preceding the interest payment date even if such 2031 Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender 2031 Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the 2031 Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated 2031 Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the 2031 Securities under an Indenture dated as of September 14, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its 2.300% Notes due 2031, initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. The terms of the 2031 Securities include those stated in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms (which for greater certainty includes the right of exchange of the 2031 Securities provided in Appendix A to the Indenture, which is an express term of this Security). Any term used in this Security that is defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

A-52

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

a. Prior to June 14, 2031 (the “2031 Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the 2031 Securities in whole or in part, any time or from time to time, prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to the 2031 Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

b. At any time and from time to time on or after the 2031 Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2031 Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

6. CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 5 hereof to redeem the 2031 Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Securities, to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2031 Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such 2031 Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE. The 2031 Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2031 Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2031 Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a 2031 Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the 2031 Security not to be redeemed) or any 2031 Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2031 Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. Transfer may be restricted as provided in the Indenture.

8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. UNCLAIMED MONEY. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the 2031 Securities and the Indenture with respect to the 2031 Securities if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the 2031 Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-53

11. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, or the 2031 Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the 2031 Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2031 Securities), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the 2031 Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2031 Securities (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2031 Securities). Without the consent of any Holder of a 2031 Security, the Indenture or the 2031 Securities may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2031 Securities are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of 2031 Securities and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2031 Securities or the Indenture with respect to the 2031 Securities or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a 2031 Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the 2031 Securities.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually or electronically signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2031 Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

CGI INC.

2.300% Notes due 2031

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

1. INTEREST. CGI Inc. (the “Company”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 2.300% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 14 and September 14 of each year, commencing March 14, 2022. Interest on the 2031 Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 14, 2021. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in this Indenture or any Securities issued hereunder interest at a specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the 2031 Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2031 Securities at the close of business on the February 28 and August 31 next preceding the interest payment date even if such 2031 Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender 2031 Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the 2031 Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated 2031 Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the 2031 Securities under an Indenture dated as of September 14, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its 2.300% Notes due 2031, initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. The terms of the 2031 Securities include those stated in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms (which for greater certainty includes the right of exchange of the 2031 Securities provided in Appendix A to the Indenture, which is an express term of this Security). Any term used in this Security that is defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

A-63

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

a. Prior to June 14, 2031 (the “2031 Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the 2031 Securities in whole or in part, any time or from time to time, prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to the 2031 Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

b. At any time and from time to time on or after the 2031 Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2031 Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

6. CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 5 hereof to redeem the 2031 Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Securities, to repurchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2031 Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Securities to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such 2031 Securities to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE. The 2031 Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2031 Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and the Company will require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 2031 Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a 2031 Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the 2031 Security not to be redeemed) or any 2031 Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2031 Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. Transfer may be restricted as provided in the Indenture.

8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. UNCLAIMED MONEY. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

10. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the 2031 Securities and the Indenture with respect to the 2031 Securities if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the 2031 Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

A-64

11. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, or the 2031 Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the 2031 Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2031 Securities), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the 2031 Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2031 Securities (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2031 Securities). Without the consent of any Holder of a 2031 Security, the Indenture or the 2031 Securities may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2031 Securities are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of 2031 Securities and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2031 Securities or the Indenture with respect to the 2031 Securities or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a 2031 Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the 2031 Securities.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually or electronically signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

17. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the 2031 Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of 2031 Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2031 Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
