Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. is issuing US$500,000,000 of 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due February 18, 2029 under a Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The notes pay 11.50% interest semi-annually in U.S. dollars, starting August 18, 2026, and may be issued in additional tranches on the same terms.

Before August 18, 2027, Curaleaf can redeem up to 35% of the notes at par plus 100% of the coupon and accrued interest using net cash from qualifying equity offerings.

Insights

Curaleaf adds US$500M high‑coupon secured debt with flexible call options.

The company is issuing US$500,000,000 of 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due February 18, 2029. This Fourth Supplemental Indenture sits on top of an existing base indenture and confirms the notes as senior secured obligations with existing guarantees applying.

The coupon is relatively high, suggesting investors require meaningful compensation for credit and sector risk. Optional redemption terms allow Curaleaf to refinance or reduce debt, including a limited equity-funded redemption up to 35% of the series before August 18, 2027, and step-down call prices thereafter.

There are no mandatory sinking fund payments, though certain covenant triggers could force repurchase offers under the broader indenture. Actual impact on leverage, liquidity and interest coverage will depend on how the US$500,000,000 is deployed and how quickly Curaleaf might exercise its redemption options if capital markets conditions improve.

THIS FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE made as of the 18th day of February, 2026 BETWEEN: CURALEAF HOLDINGS, INC., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (hereinafter called the “Issuer”); AND ODYSSEY TRUST COMPANY, a trust company continued under the laws of Canada authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in all Canadian provinces (hereinafter called the “Trustee”). WITNESSETH THAT: WHEREAS the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Original Indenture”), dated as of December 15, 2021, providing for the issuance of Notes, as amended pursuant to a first amendment dated as of February 8, 2022 (the “First Amendment”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated as of December 21, 2021 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), a second supplemental indenture dated as of December 8, 2023 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), and a third supplemental indenture dated as of January 17, 2025 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Original Indenture, the First Amendment, the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Base Indenture”). AND WHEREAS Section 12.3(i) of the Base Indenture provides that the Issuer and the Trustee may from time to time amend or supplement the Base Indenture without the consent of any Holder to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the Base Indenture. AND WHEREAS the Issuer has determined to create and issue a series of Notes to be designated Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and to enter this fourth supplemental indenture (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) with the Trustee to provide for such creation and issuance of the 2029 Notes. AND WHEREAS all necessary acts and proceedings have been done and taken and all necessary resolutions have been passed to authorize the execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, to make the same effective and binding upon the Issuer, and to make the 2029 Notes, when certified by the Trustee and issued as provided in the Indenture, valid, binding and legal obligations of the Issuer with the benefit and subject to the terms of the Indenture.


 
AND WHEREAS the foregoing recitals are made as representations and statements of fact by the Issuer and not by the Trustee. NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the 2029 Notes as follows: ARTICLE 1 INTERPRETATION 1.1 To Be Read with Indenture This Fourth Supplemental Indenture is a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture. The Base Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture will be read together and will have effect as though all the provisions of both indentures were contained in one instrument. If any terms of the Base Indenture are inconsistent with the express terms or provisions hereof, the terms of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency; provided, however, that the terms and provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture may modify or amend the terms and provisions of the Base Indenture solely as applied to the 2029 Notes. 1.2 Definitions and Interpretation (1) In this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and in the 2029 Notes, except as otherwise defined herein or unless the context otherwise requires, all terms used but not defined in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture (including the recitals hereto) shall have the meanings specified in the Base Indenture. This Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall, unless otherwise required, be subject to the interpretation provisions contained in Article 1 of the Indenture. (2) When used in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the following terms shall have the following meanings: “2029 Notes” has the meaning set forth in the recitals. “Additional 2029 Notes” means any 2029 Notes issued under and pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions of the Indenture and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture after the Issue Date. “Initial 2029 Notes” means the US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes issued by the Issuer on the Issue Date. “Interest Payment Date” means each of February 18 and August 18 of each year for so long as the 2029 Notes remain outstanding. “Interest Period” means the period commencing on the later of (a) the Issue Date and (b) the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid


 
and ending on the day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest is payable. “Issue Date” means for all purposes of the Indenture concerning the 2029 Notes, February 18, 2026. “Maturity Date” has the meaning given to it in Section 2.4. “Record Date” means, with respect to any Interest Payment Date, the immediately preceding February 1 or August 1, as applicable. 1.3 Amendments to Indenture. For the purposes of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and solely with respect to the 2029 Notes issued and outstanding under the Indenture as of the Issue Date, the Base Indenture is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: underlined text) as set forth in Appendix A hereto. 1.4 Headings, Etc. The division of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture into Articles, Sections and paragraphs, the inclusion of a table of contents and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. ARTICLE 2 ISSUE AND AUTHENTICATION OF THE 2029 NOTES 2.1 Issue of the 2029 Notes The Issuer is authorized, subject to compliance with Sections 2.2, 6.10 and 12.5 of the Indenture, to issue a series of Notes designated “11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2029” under this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The 2029 Notes shall have the terms set forth in this Article 2 and be subject to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 2.2 Aggregate Principal Amount The aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes which may be issued under this Indenture is unlimited, provided, however, that the maximum principal amount of 2029 Notes initially issued hereunder on the Issue Date shall be US$500,000,000. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of any existing Holders, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, create and issue Additional 2029 Notes hereunder having the same terms and conditions as the 2029 Notes in all respects, except for the date of issuance, issue price and first payment of interest thereon; provided, further, that if any such Additional 2029 Notes are not fungible with the Initial 2029 Notes for U.S. federal income tax or securities law purposes, such Additional 2029 Notes shall


 
have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Additional 2029 Notes so created and issued will be consolidated with and form a single series with the 2029 Notes. 2.3 Authentication The Trustee shall initially authenticate one or more uncertificated Global Notes and/or direct registration Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of US$500,000,000 or otherwise to permit transfers or exchanges in accordance with Section 4.6 of the Indenture upon receipt by the Trustee of a duly executed Authentication Order. After the Issue Date, subject to Section 2.2, the Issuer may issue, from time to time, and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of an Authentication Order, Additional 2029 Notes for original issue. Except as provided in Section 6.11 of the Indenture, there is no limit on the amount of Additional 2029 Notes that may be issued hereunder. Each such Authentication Order shall specify the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such 2029 Notes are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount specified in the Authentication Orders provided in respect of original issues of the 2029 Notes except as provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture. For certainty, the Trustee shall not be obligated or liable to ensure that the Issuer is in compliance with the limitations in Section 6.10 of the Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer certifying such compliance for any Additional 2029 Notes so issued. 2.4 Date of Issue and Maturity Date The 2029 Notes will be issued on February 18, 2026 and the 2029 Notes will become due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on February 18, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”). 2.5 Interest (a) The 2029 Notes will bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the rate of 11.50% per annum from the Issue Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, compounded semi-annually and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. The first Interest Payment Date for the Initial 2029 Notes will be August 18, 2026. (b) Interest will be payable in respect of each Interest Period (after, as well as before, the Maturity Date, default and judgment, with interest overdue on principal and interest at the applicable interest rate on the 2029 Notes) on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with Sections 2.12 and 2.15 of the Indenture. Interest on the 2029 Notes will accrue from the Issue Date or, if interest has already been paid, from and including the last Interest Payment Date therefor to which interest has been paid or made available for payment. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, and will be payable in equal semi-annual amounts; except that interest in respect of any period that is shorter than a full semi-annual interest period will be


 
computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed in that period. 2.6 Optional Redemption (a) At any time prior to August 18, 2027, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional 2029 Notes), upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to par plus 100% of the coupon plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: (i) 2029 Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes issued under this Indenture (excluding any Additional 2029 Notes) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding 2029 Notes held by the Issuer or its Affiliates); and (ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. (b) Except pursuant to Section 2.6(a), the 2029 Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to August 18, 2027. (c) At any time and from time to time on or after August 18, 2027, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the 2029 Notes upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2029 Notes redeemed, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the periods indicated below: Year Percentage August 18, 2027 – February 17, 2028 105.750% February 18, 2028 and thereafter 100.000% (d) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Section 2.6, the terms of Article 5 of the Indenture shall apply to the redemption of any 2029 Notes and in the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Section 2.6 shall prevail. 2.7 Mandatory Redemption and Market Purchases (a) The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2029 Notes; provided, however, that the Issuer


 
may be required to offer to purchase the 2029 Notes pursuant to Sections 6.15 and 6.16 of the Indenture. (b) The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase 2029 Notes by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions, private agreement or otherwise at any price in accordance with Applicable Securities Legislation, so long as such acquisition does not violate the terms of the Indenture. 2.8 Form and Denomination of the 2029 Notes (a) The 2029 Notes will be issued at an issue price of $1,000 per $1,000 of principal amount (and integral multiples of $1,000). (b) Subject to Section 4.2(b) of the Indenture, the 2029 Notes will be issuable as Global Notes, substantially in the form set out in Appendix B hereto with such changes as may be required by the Depository and as required or permitted by the Indenture and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and any other changes as may be approved or permitted by the Issuer, in each case which changes are not prejudicial to the Holders of the 2029 Notes, and with such approval in each case to be conclusively deemed to have been given by the officers of the Issuer executing the same in accordance with Article 2 of the Indenture. Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules or the Depository or consistent with customary practice. To the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. (c) The 2029 Notes have not been and will not be qualified for distribution to the public under Canadian securities laws and regulations, and all Notes will be bear (or, in the case of uncertificated Notes, shall be deemed to bear), unless otherwise directed by the Issuer, a legend substantially in the following form until the legend is no longer required under Applicable Securities Laws and regulations: UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION IN CANADA, THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE MUST NOT TRADE THIS NOTE IN CANADA BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER FEBRUARY 18, 2026. 2.9 Currency of Payment The principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the 2029 Notes will be payable in United States dollars. 2.10 Additional Amounts (a) All payments made by any Guarantor under or with respect to any Guarantee 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 imposed or levied by or on behalf of any United States taxing authority (hereinafter “United States Taxes”), unless any Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct United States Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If any Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount of interest for or on account of United States Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to any Guarantee, such Guarantor will pay such additional amounts of interest (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such United States Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder (an “Excluded Holder”): (A) which is subject to such United States Taxes by reason of any connection between such holder and the United States or any states political subdivision thereof or authority thereof other than the mere holding of Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder; (B) which failed to duly and timely comply with a timely request of the Issuer to provide information, documents, certification or other evidence concerning such holder’s nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits, identity or connection with the United States or any political subdivision or authority thereof, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request would have resulted in the reduction or elimination of any United States Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such holder of Notes but for this clause (ii); (C) which is a fiduciary, a partnership or not the beneficial owner of any payment on a Note, if and to the extent that, as a result of an applicable tax treaty, no Additional Amounts would have been payable had the beneficiary, partner or beneficial owner owned the Note directly (but only if there is no material cost or expense associated with transferring such Note to such beneficiary, partner or beneficial owner and no restriction on such transfer that is outside the control of such beneficiary, partner or beneficial owner); (D) to the extent that the United States Taxes required to be withheld or deducted are imposed pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (and any amended or successor version that is substantially comparable), and any regulations or other official guidance thereunder or agreements (including any intergovernmental


 
agreements or any laws, rules or practices implementing such intergovernmental agreements) entered into in connection therewith; or (E) any combination of the foregoing clauses of this proviso. (b) The Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make such withholding or deduction and, (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will furnish to the holders of the 2029 Notes, within 30 days after the date the payment of any United States Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Guarantor, as the case may be. Such Guarantor will indemnify and hold harmless each holder (other than all Excluded Holders) for the amount of (A) any United States Taxes not withheld or deducted by such Guarantor and levied or imposed and paid by such holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Guarantees, (B) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (C) any United States Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.10(b). (c) At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the 2029 Notes is due and payable, if any Guarantor is aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders on the payment date. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. (d) The obligations described under this Section 2.10 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person and to any jurisdiction in which such successor is organized or is otherwise resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by such successor or its respective agents. 2.11 Appointment of Trustee (a) The Trustee will be the trustee for the 2029 Notes, subject to Article 11 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE 4 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 4.1 Confirmation of Indenture On the date hereof, the Base Indenture shall be supplemented in accordance with this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall form part of the Indenture for all purposes, and the holder of every Note heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound thereby. The Indenture shall remain in full force and effect and is in all respects ratified and confirmed.

(h) Each Note issued to, or for the account for benefit of, a U.S. Holder (other than an Original U.S. Holder), and each Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor, will bear the U.S. Legend (as defined below) (the “Restricted Notes”) and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.3(h) (including the U.S. Legend), and each Holder, by its acceptance of a Restricted Note, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.3(h) and Section 4.5(f), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Note. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under the securities laws of any of the states of the United States, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of by a U.S. Holder unless an exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is available or the Notes are the subject of an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act. Each Note issued for the benefit or account of a U.S. Holder (other than an Original U.S. Holder), and each Note issued in exchange or substitution thereof shall bear or be deemed to bear the following legend or such variations thereof as the Issuer may prescribe from time to time (the “U.S. Legend”): “THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)(a) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED 150552542v1150552542

NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 FOR RESALE OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY.” provided that, if the Notes are being sold outside the United States in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local securities laws and regulations, the U.S. Legend may be removed (or the Notes may be transferred to an unrestricted CUSIP) by the transferor providing a declaration to the Trustee and the Issuer in the form set forth in Appendix CB or as the Issuer may prescribe from time to time, or such other evidence which may include an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer; provided further, that, if any such Notes are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, if available, or in another transaction that does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the U.S. Legend may be removed (or the Notes may be transferred to an unrestricted CUSIP) by delivery to the Trustee and the Issuer of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that such U.S. Legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3(h) to the contrary, and provided that the Original U.S. Holder has duly executed and delivered a U.S. QIB Agreement, to the Issuer in connection with the original purchase of the Initial 2026initial 2029 Notes (the “U.S. QIB Agreement”), the Initial 2026initial 2029 Notes issued to such Original U.S. Holder shall be represented by a Global Note which shall not bear the U.S. Legend; provided, however, that such Initial 2026initial 2029 Notes constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) 150552542v1150552542


 
- 47 - under the U.S. Securities Act and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the U.S. QIB Agreement. 2.4 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes (a) All Notes shall be signed (either manually or by electronic or facsimile signature) by any two authorized directors or officers of the Issuer, holding office at the time of signing. An electronic or facsimile signature upon a Note shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the individual whose signature it purports to be. Notwithstanding that any individual whose signature, either manual or in facsimile or other electronic means, appears on a Note as a director or officer may no longer hold such office at the date of the Note or at the date of the authentication and delivery thereof, such Note shall be valid and binding upon the Issuer and the Holder thereof shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. (b) No Notes will be entitled to any right or benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless such Notes have been authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein or in the relevant Supplemental Indenture. Such authentication upon any Notes will be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Notes have been duly authenticated, issued and delivered and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits hereof. (c) Subject to the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall from time to time authenticate one or more Notes (including Global Notes) for original issue on the issue date for any series of Notes upon and in accordance with an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), without the Trustee receiving any consideration therefor. Each such Authentication Order shall specify the principal amount of such Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such Notes are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount specified in the Authentication Orders except as provided in Section 2.11. Except as provided in Section 6.11, there is no limit on the amount of Notes that may be issued hereunder. (d) The certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee authenticating Notes will not be construed as a representation or warranty of the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture or of any Notes or their issuance (except the due authentication thereof by the Trustee) or as to the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under this Indenture or any Notes and the Trustee will be in no respect liable or answerable for the use made of the proceeds of such Notes. The certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee on Notes issued under this Indenture will constitute a representation and warranty by the Trustee that such Notes have been duly authenticated by and on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture. 2.5 Non-Certificated Deposit 150552542v1150552542


 
- 48 - (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, but subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, at the Corporation’s option, Notes may be issued and registered in the name of CDS or its nominee and: (i) the deposit of which may be confirmed electronically by the Trustee to a particular Participant through CDS; and (ii) shall be identified by the applicable CUSIP and ISIN numbers. (b) If the Corporation issues Notes in a non-certificated format, Beneficial Holders of such Notes registered and deposited with CDS shall not receive Note Certificates in definitive form and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or any supplemental indenture. Beneficial interests in Notes registered and deposited with CDS will be represented only through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS. Transfers of Notes registered and deposited with CDS between Participants shall occur in accordance with the rules and procedures of CDS. Neither the Corporation nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by CDS or its nominee, on account of the beneficial interests in Notes registered and deposited with CDS. Nothing herein shall prevent the holders of Notes registered and deposited with CDS from voting such Notes using duly executed proxies or voting instruction forms. (c) All references herein to actions by, notices given or payments made to, Notes shall, where Notes are held through CDS, refer to actions taken by, or notices given or payments made to, CDS upon instruction from the Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures. For the purposes of any provision hereof requiring or permitting actions with the consent of or the direction of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Notes outstanding, such direction or consent may be given by Beneficial Holders acting through CDS and the Participants owning Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of the Notes. The rights of a Beneficial Holder whose Notes are held established by law and agreements between such holders and CDS and the Participants upon instructions from the Participants. Each Trustee and the Corporation may deal with CDS for all purposes (including the making of payments) as the authorized representative of the respective Notes and such dealing with CDS shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder. (d) For so long as Notes are held through CDS, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders, the Trustee will give such notices and communications to CDS. (e) If CDS resigns or is removed from its responsibility as Depository and the Trustee is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor, CDS shall provide the Trustee with instructions for registration of Notes in the names and in the amounts specified by CDS, and the Corporation shall issue and the Trustee shall 150552542v1150552542


 
- 49 - certify and deliver the aggregate number of Notes then outstanding in the form of definitive Notes Certificates representing such Notes. (f) The rights of Beneficial Holders who hold securities entitlements in respect of the Notes through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS shall be limited to those established by Applicable Law and agreements between the Depository and the Participants and between such Participants and the Beneficial Holders who hold securities entitlements in respect of the Notes through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS, and such rights must be exercised through a Participant in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository. (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Corporation nor the Trustee nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for: (i) the electronic records maintained by the Depository relating to any ownership interests or other interests in the Notes or the depository system maintained by the Depository, or payments made on account of any ownership interest or any other interest of any Person in any Note represented by an electronic position in the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS (other than Depository or its nominee); (ii) for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depository or any Participant relating to any such interest; or (iii) any advice or representation made or given by the Depository or those contained herein that relate to the rules and regulations of the Depository or any action to be taken by the Depository on its own direction or at the direction of any Participant. (h) The Corporation may terminate the application of this Section 2.5 in its sole discretion in which case all Notes shall be evidenced by Note Certificates registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository 2.6 Registrar and Paying Agent (a) The Issuer shall maintain for each series of Notes an office or agency where such Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Notes may be surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of such Notes and of their transfer and exchange. (b) The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents for any series of Notes in such other locations as it shall determine. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Registrar or Paying Agent which is not a 150552542v1150552542


 
- 50 - party to this Indenture. If the Issuer does not exercise its option to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent in respect of any series of Notes, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar for any series of Notes. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee at its corporate office in Vancouver, British Columbia to act as the Registrar, transfer agent, authentication agent and Paying Agent with respect to the Notes. 2.7 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will, and the Trustee when acting as Paying Agent agrees that it will, hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of the relevant series and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any money disbursed by it. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent; provided that upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for each series of Notes. 2.8 Book Entry Only Notes (a) Subject to Section 4.2(b) and the provisions of the Notes of any series or any Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance thereof, Notes shall be issued initially as Book Entry Only Notes represented by one or more Global Notes. Each Global Note authenticated in accordance with this Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Note or a nominee thereof and deposited with such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture and the applicable Supplemental Indenture. Beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be shown on the register or the records maintained by the Depository but will be represented through book entry accounts of Participants on behalf of the Beneficial Holders of such Global Note in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository. None of the Issuer or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by any Depository on account of the beneficial interest in any Global Notes or for maintaining, reviewing or supervising any records relating to such beneficial interests therein. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture in respect of a series of Notes, Beneficial Holders of Global Notes shall not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive Definitive Notes and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture. Nothing herein or in a Supplemental 150552542v1150552542


 
- 51 - Indenture shall prevent the Beneficial Holders from voting Global Notes using duly executed voting instruction forms. (b) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of a Global Note, or in exchange for or in lieu of a Global Note or any portion thereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Notes or a nominee thereof. 2.9 Global Notes Notes issued to a Depository in the form of Global Notes shall be subject to the following in addition to the provisions of Section 4.2, unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 4.2(b): (a) the Trustee may deal with such Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Holders of such Notes; (b) the rights of the Beneficial Holders of such Notes shall be exercised only through such Depository and the rights of Beneficial Holders shall be limited to those established by applicable law and agreements between the Depository and the Participants and between such Participants and Beneficial Holders, and must be exercised through a Participant in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository; (c) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders evidencing a specified percentage of the outstanding Notes of any series, the Depository shall be deemed to be counted in that percentage to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Holders or Participants; (d) such Depository will make book-entry transfers among the direct Participants of such Depository and will receive and transmit distributions of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes to such direct Participants for subsequent payment to the Beneficial Holders thereof; (e) the direct Participants of such Depository shall have no rights under this Indenture or under or with respect to any of the Notes held on their behalf by such Depository, and such Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever; (f) whenever a notice or other communication is required to be provided to Holders in connection with this Indenture or the Notes, the Trustee shall provide all such notices and communications to the Depository for subsequent delivery of such notices and communications to the Beneficial Holders in accordance with Applicable Securities Legislation and the procedures of the Depository; and 150552542v1150552542


 
- 52 - (g) notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, all payments in respect of Notes issuable in the form of or represented by a Global Note shall be made to the Depository or its nominee for subsequent payment by the Depository or its nominee to the Beneficial Holders thereof. Upon payment over to the Depository, the Trustee, if acting as the Paying Agent, shall have no further liability for the money. 2.10 Interim Notes Pending the delivery of Definitive Notes of any series to the Trustee, the Issuer may issue and the Trustee authenticate in lieu thereof (but subject to the same provisions, conditions and limitations as set forth in this Indenture) interim printed, mimeographed or typewriter Notes in such forms and in such denominations and signed in such manner as provided herein, entitling the holders thereof to Definitive Notes of such series when the same are ready for delivery; or the Issuer may execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee authenticate a temporary Note for the whole principal amount of Notes of such series then authorized to be issued hereunder and thereupon the Trustee may issue its own interim certificates in such form and in such amounts, not exceeding in the aggregate the principal amount of the temporary Note so delivered to it, as the Issuer and the Trustee may approve entitling the holders thereof to Definitive Notes when the same are ready for delivery; and, when so issued and certified, such interim or temporary Notes or interim certificates shall, for all purposes but without duplication, rank in respect of this Indenture equally with Notes of such series duly issued hereunder and, pending the exchange thereof for Definitive Notes of such series, the holders of the interim or temporary Notes or interim certificates shall be deemed without duplication to be Holders of such series and entitled to the benefit of this Indenture to the same extent and in the same manner as though the said exchange had actually been made. Forthwith after the Issuer shall have delivered the Definitive Notes of such series to the Trustee, the Trustee shall call in for exchange all temporary or interim Notes of such series or certificates that shall have been issued and forthwith after such exchange shall cancel the same. No charge shall be made by the Issuer or the Trustee to the holders of such interim or temporary Notes or interim certificates for the exchange thereof. 2.11 Mutilation, Loss, Theft or Destruction In case any of the Notes issued hereunder shall become mutilated or be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Note, or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, in lieu of and in substitution for the same, and the substituted Note shall be in a form approved by the Trustee and shall entitle the Holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture and shall rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Notes of such series issued or to be issued hereunder. In case of loss, theft or destruction the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee such evidence of the loss, theft or destruction of the Note as shall be satisfactory to them in their discretion and shall also furnish an indemnity and surety bond satisfactory to them in their discretion. The applicant shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the issuance of any substituted Note. 150552542v1150552542


 
- 53 - 2.12 Concerning Interest (a) All Notes of each series issued hereunder, whether originally or upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued Notes (including for certainty Notes issued under Sections 2.9 and 2.10), shall bear interest (i) from and including their respective issue date, or (ii) from and including the last Interest Payment Date therefor to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on such outstanding Notes, whichever shall be the later, in all cases, to and excluding the next Interest Payment Date therefor. (b) Subject to accrual of any interest on unpaid interest from time to time, interest on a Note of any series will cease to accrue from the Maturity of such Note (including, for certainty, if such Note was called for redemption, the Redemption Date); unless upon due presentation and surrender of such Note for payment on or after the Maturity thereof, such payment is improperly withheld or refused. (c) If the date for payment of any amount of principal, premium or interest in respect of a Note of any series is not a Business Day at the place of payment, then payment thereof will be made on the next Business Day and the Holder of such Note will not be entitled to any further interest on such principal, or to any interest on such interest, premium or other amount so payable, in respect of the period from the date for payment to such next Business Day. (d) The Holder of any Note of any series at the close of business on any Record Date applicable to a particular series with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Note subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Holder of such Note as at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date (which shall be not less than two Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given in accordance with Section 14.2 by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of all affected Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent Record Date. The term “Record Date” as used with respect to any Interest Payment Date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Notes of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Notes of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.2, and in respect of the 20262029 Notes, shall have the meaning specified in Article 3Article 2 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. (e) Wherever in this Indenture, any Supplemental Indenture or any Note there is mention, in any context, of the payment of interest, such mention is deemed to include the payment of interest on amounts in default to the extent that, in such context, such interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to this Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture or the Note, and express mention of interest on amounts in default in any of the provisions of this Indenture will not be construed as excluding such interest in those provisions of this Indenture where such express 150552542v1150552542


 
- 54 - mention is not made. In addition, wherever in this Indenture, any Supplemental Indenture or any Note (including for greater certainty under Sections 6.1 and 7.3) there is a mention, in any context, of the payment of interest by the Issuer or the taking by the Issuer of any action relating to the payment of interest, such mention is deemed to allow the payment of interest or the taking of any such action to be made directly or indirectly by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in lieu of the Issuer. (f) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture or the terms of any Note, interest on Notes of any series shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as applicable. With respect to any series of Notes, whenever interest is computed on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year. 2.13 Payments of Amounts Due on Maturity (a) Subject to Section 2.12(b), the following provisions shall apply to all Notes, except as otherwise specified in a Supplemental Indenture relating to a particular series of Notes (and, in the case of the 20262029 Notes, Article 3Article 2 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture): (i) in the case of fully registered Notes, the Issuer shall establish and maintain with the Paying Agent a Maturity Account for each series of Notes. On or before 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Business Day before the Stated Maturity date for each series of Notes outstanding from time to time under this Indenture, the Issuer shall deposit in the applicable Maturity Account by wire or other electronic transfer or certified cheque an amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable in respect of the outstanding Notes of such series (less any Taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld therefrom). The Paying Agent will pay to each Holder of such Notes entitled to receive payment, the principal amount of, and premium (if any) on, such Notes, upon surrender of such Notes to the Paying Agent or at any branch of the Trustee designated for such purpose from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee. The deposit or making available of such amounts into the applicable Maturity Account will satisfy and discharge the liability of the Issuer for such Notes to which the deposit or making available of funds relates to the extent of the amount deposited or made available (plus the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld as aforesaid) and such Notes will thereafter not be considered as outstanding under this Indenture to such extent and such Holder will have no other right than to receive out of the money so deposited or made available the amount to which it is entitled. Failure to make a deposit or make funds available as required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(i) will 150552542v1150552542


 
- 55 - constitute Default in payment on the Notes in respect of which the deposit or making available of funds was required to have been made; and (ii) in the case of any series of Notes issued and outstanding in the form of or represented by Global Notes, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the day prior to the Stated Maturity date for such Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, for onward payment to the Depository, in each case by wire or other electronic funds transfer, an amount sufficient to pay the amount payable in respect of such Global Notes (less any Taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld therefrom). The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee, for onward payment to the Depository, the principal amount of, and premium (if any) on, such Global Notes, against receipt of the relevant Global Notes. The delivery of such wire or other electronic funds to the Trustee for onward payment to the Depository (or its nominee), as applicable, will satisfy and discharge the liability of the Issuer for the series of Notes to which the electronic funds relates to the extent of the amount deposited or made available (plus the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld as aforesaid) and such Notes will thereafter not be considered as outstanding under this Indenture unless such electronic funds transfer is not received. Failure to make delivery of funds available as required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) will constitute Default in payment on the Notes of the series in respect of which the delivery or making available of funds was required to have been made. (b) Notwithstanding Section 2.13(a), all payments in excess of $25,000,000 (or such other amount as determined from time to time by the Canadian Payments Association or any successor thereto) shall be made by the use of the LVTS. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation to disburse funds pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(i) unless it has received written confirmation satisfactory to it that the funds have been deposited with it in sufficient amount to pay in full all amounts due and payable on the applicable date of Maturity. The Paying Agent shall, if it accepts any funds received by it in the form of uncertified cheques, be entitled to delay the time for release of such funds until such uncertified cheques shall be determined to have cleared the financial institution upon which the same are drawn. (c) Wherever in this Indenture, any Supplemental Indenture or any Note (including for greater certainty under Sections 6.1 and 7.3) there is a mention, in any context, of the payment of principal by the Issuer or the taking by the Issuer of any action relating to the payment of principal, such mention is deemed to allow the payment of principal or the taking of any such action to be made directly or indirectly by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in lieu of the Issuer. 2.14 Legends on Notes 150552542v1150552542


 
- 56 - (a) Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, subject to such modification as required by the applicable Depository (the “Global Note Legend”): “THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THIS INDENTURE HEREIN REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO OR EXCHANGED FOR NOTES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE REGISTERED EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THIS INDENTURE. EVERY NOTE AUTHENTICATED AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF, TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR, OR IN LIEU OF, THIS NOTE SHALL BE A GLOBAL NOTE SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THIS INDENTURE. UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. (“CDS”) TO CURALEAF HOLDINGS, INC. OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THIS NOTE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS NOTE.” (b) Prior to the issuance of Notes of any series, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, concerning which Notes are to be certificated and are to bear the legend or legends described in Section 2.3(h) or this Section 2.14. 2.15 Payment of Interest The following provisions shall apply to Notes of each series, except as otherwise specified in a Supplemental Indenture relating to a particular series of Notes (and, in the case of the 20262029 Notes, Article 3Article 2 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture): (a) As interest becomes due on each fully registered Note (except on redemption thereof, when interest may at the option of the Issuer be paid upon surrender of such Note), the Issuer, either directly or through the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall send or forward by prepaid ordinary mail, electronic transfer of funds or such other means as may be agreed to by the Trustee, payment of such interest including any Additional Amounts (less any Taxes required by law to be 150552542v1150552542


 
- 57 - deducted or withheld therefrom) to the order of the Holder of such Note at the close of business on the Record Date prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date and addressed to the Holder at the Holder’s last address appearing on the register (or in the case of joint Holders, to such address of one of the joint Holders), unless such Holder otherwise directs.

In any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to not less than 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date” which date will be no earlier than the date of such Change of Control).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer by the Issuer, or by any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described below, may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. (c) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of any Applicable Securities Legislation to the extent such requirements are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any Applicable Securities Legislation conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, or compliance with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the Applicable Securities Legislation and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. (d) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 150552542v1150552542

For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: (A) any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recently available annual or quarterly balance sheet, of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement or similar agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and (B) any notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale that are converted within 365180 days by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion. (b) Within 365180 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale other than a Qualifying Asset Sale, the Issuer or its Restrictedsuch Subsidiaries may apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds to, at its option, any combination of the following purposes: 150552542v1150552542


 
- 102 - (i) (a) in the case of an Asset Sale by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, to permanently repay, prepay, redeem, purchase or repurchase Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under a Credit Facility that is secured by a Lien that is senior in priority to the Lien securing the Notes and, if the Indebtedness so repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto; or (b) in the case of an Asset Sale by an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to permanently repay, prepay, redeem, purchase or repurchase Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or (ii) to reinvest in new assets and make any capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business or to purchase Replacement Assets (or enter into a binding agreement to make such capital expenditure or to purchase such Replacement Assets), provided that (A) such capital expenditure or purchase is consummated within the later of (x) 365180 days after the receipt of the Net Proceeds from the related Asset Sale and (y) 180 days after the date of such binding agreement and (B) if such capital expenditure or purchase is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (A) of this Section 6.16(b)(ii) the amount not so applied will be deemed to be Excess Proceeds (as defined below); provided that, in the case of an Asset Sale by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, such reinvestment is in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (and not an Unrestricted Subsidiary). (c) Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. (d) An amount equal to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in this Section 6.16 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” If on any date, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or the Issuer or its Subsidiaries have received Net Proceeds from a Qualifying Asset Sale, then within ten Business Days after such date, the Issuer will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness secured by Collateral with a ranking that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness secured by Collateral with a ranking that is pari passu with the Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds or with the Net Proceeds from the Qualifying Asset Sale, as applicable; provided that in the case of an Asset Sale by an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Net Proceeds under the Asset Sale Offer shall not exceed the amounts actually invested by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries into such Unrestricted Subsidiary since the Issue Date. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of(a) in the case of an Asset Sale out of Excess Proceeds, 100% of the principal amount plusand (b) in the case of a Qualifying Asset Sale, 100% of the principal amount, plus, in each case, accrued 150552542v1150552542


 
- 103 - and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to such Excess Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”) with respect to all or part of the available Excess Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”). If any Excess Proceeds or Net Proceeds, as applicable, remain unapplied after the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer and its Restricted/or such Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceedssuch proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Indebtedness secured by Collateral with a ranking that is pari passu with the Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, or Net Proceeds, as applicable, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased) and the Issuer or the respective agent for such other Indebtedness secured by Collateral with a ranking that is pari passu with the Notes shall make such adjustment for such other Indebtedness secured by Collateral with a ranking that is pari passu with the Notes. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds or Net Proceeds, as applicable will be reset at zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds or Net Proceeds, as applicable, upon such completion), and in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds or Net Proceeds, as applicable. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by Section 6.15 and/or Section 10.1, and not by the provisions of this Section 6.16. (f) Within five Business Days after the Issuer is obligated to make an Asset Sale Offer as described in this Section 6.16, the Issuer will deliver a written notice to the Holders, accompanied by such information regarding the Issuer and its Affiliates as the Issuer in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Asset Sale Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered. (g) Without limiting the foregoing: (i) any Holder may decline any offer of prepayment pursuant to this Section 6.16; and (ii) the failure of any such Holder to accept or decline any such offer of prepayment shall be deemed to be an election by such Holder to decline such prepayment. 150552542v1150552542


 
- 104 - (h) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of any Applicable Securities Legislation to the extent such requirements are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.

(i) Wherever in this Section 6.16 there is a mention, in any context, of an Asset Sale Offer or an Advance Offer or of any action relating thereto, such mention is deemed to allow the making of any such Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, the payment for such Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, or the taking of any such action, in each case, directly or indirectly, by any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in lieu of the Issuer. 6.17 Real Estate Mortgages and Filings (a) With respect to any real property acquired by the Issuer or a Guarantor after the Issue Date, in each case with an individual Fair Market Value (measured at the time of acquisition) in excess of $10 million (each such owned real property, a “Premises”), the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Collateral Trustee, within 90 days of the date of acquisition of such Premises or the date the owner of such Premises becomes a Guarantor, as applicable: (i) a mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument customarily recognized in the applicable jurisdiction for the purpose of granting a consensual Lien in real property in favour of the Collateral Trustee, as mortgagee or beneficiary, as applicable, in respect of such Premises, duly executed by the Issuer or applicable Guarantor, together with evidence of the completion (or arrangements for the completion) of all recordings and filings of such mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected Lien to secure the Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors pursuant to the Notes and the Security Documents (subject to any Permitted Liens) against such Premises, including payment of any taxes and fees in connection therewith, and if such taxes or fees are based on the amount secured, such amount shall be the lesser of (a) 110% of the Fair Market Value (measured at the time of acquisition) or (b) the amount of the Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors pursuant to the Notes and the Security Documents; and (ii) with respect to such Premises, customary local counsel opinions and such other documents, instruments, certificates and agreements as may be necessary to create, evidence or perfect a valid Lien on such Premises.

(b) If at any time the Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated with effect following the 60th Business Day following the time the Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status (the “Reversion Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture with respect to future events for the benefit of the Notes (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes again achieve Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect unless and until the Notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status). Such Suspended Covenants will not, however, be of any effect with regard to the actions of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries properly taken during the continuance of the Suspension Period. For the avoidance of doubt, all Restricted Payments made, all Indebtedness Incurred, all dividends, other distributions, loan, advances and transfers of properties or assets paid and/or entered into, all consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, sales, assignments, leases, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions entered into and all Affiliate Transactions entered into during the Suspension Period will be disregarded for all purposes (and no amounts shall count towards any baskets set out in the Offering Memorandum, this Indenture or any of the Notes). (c) With respect to the Restricted Payments made after any Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 6.9 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. All Indebtedness that is Incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to 6.10(b)(ii). Any encumbrance or restriction of the type specified in Sections 6.11(a)(i), 6.11(a)(ii) and 6.11(a)(iii) entered into (or which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary become legally obligated to enter into) during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date so that they are permitted under Section 6.11(b)(i). Any contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with or for the benefit of any Affiliate of the Issuer entered into (or which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary became legally obligated to enter into) during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date so that they are permitted under Section 6.12(b)(vi). Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Period, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. During a Suspension Period, the Issuer may not designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (d) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, and notwithstanding anything else contained herein: 150552542v1150552542


 
- 107 - (i) no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or on the Reversion Date) or after the Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period; and (ii) neither (a) the continued existence, after the Reversion Date, of facts or circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period nor (b) the performance of any such obligations, shall constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause a Default or Event of Default thereunder; provided that (1) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not incur or otherwise cause such facts or circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of the Notes ceasing to have Investment Grade Status and (2) the Issuer reasonably expected that such incurrence or actions would not result in such ceasing. (e) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee that the conditions set forth in this Section 6.19(a) have been satisfied; provided that such notification shall not be a condition for the suspension of the covenants set forth above to be effective. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether the Notes achieve Investment Grade Status or notify the Holders that the conditions set forth in this Section 6.19(a) have been satisfied. ARTICLE 7 DEFAULT AND ENFORCEMENT 7.1 Events of Default Unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture relating to a particular series of Notes, an “Event of Default” means any one of the following events: (a) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (b) except as contemplated in Section 7.1(d), default for three Business Days in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes (whether at maturity, upon redemption or upon a required repurchase) pursuant to its obligations under Sections 6.15 and 6.16); (c) failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations under Section 10.1; (d) failure by the Issuer for 30 days to comply with the provisions of Section 6.15 or Section 6.16 to the extent not described in Section 7.1(b); (e) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days (or 90 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after written notice by the Trustee or Holders 150552542v1150552542


 
- 108 - representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture; (f) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default: (i) is caused by a failure to make any payment on such Indebtedness when due and prior to the expiration of the grace period, if any, provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default which remains outstanding or the maturity of which has been so accelerated for a period of 30 days or more, aggregates $50.0 million or more, provided that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration is rescinded, as the case may be, such Event of Default under this Indenture and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgement or decree; (g) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments (to the extent such judgments are not paid or covered by in-force insurance provided by a reputable carrier that has the ability to perform and has acknowledged coverage in writing) aggregating in excess of $25.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (h) except as permitted by this Indenture, any guaranteeGuarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its guaranteeGuarantee; and (i) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; (ii) applies for or consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; 150552542v1150552542


 
- 109 - (iii) applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets; or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (j) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case or proceeding; (ii) appoints a custodian of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or a custodian for all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days and, in the case of the insolvency of a Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary remains a Restricted Subsidiary on such 60th day; and (k) if the Security Documents shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby and the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor does not take all steps required to provide the Collateral Trustee with a valid and perfected Lien against such Collateral within fifteen (15) days of request therefor by the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee. For greater certainty, for the purposes of this Section 7.1, an Event of Default shall occur with respect to a series of Notes if such Event of Default relates to a Default in the payment of principal, premium (if any), or interest on such series of Notes, in which case references to “Notes” in this Section 7.1 shall refer to Notes of that particular series. For the purposes of this Article 7, where the Event of Default refers to an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Notes as described in this Section 7.1, then this Article 7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes of such series and references in this Article 7 to the “Notes” shall be deemed to be references to Notes of such particular series, as applicable 7.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission, Annulment and Waiver (a) If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 7.1(i) or 7.1(j)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare by notice in writing to the Issuer and (if given by the Holders) to the Trustee, the principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration on, all of the outstanding Notes 150552542v1150552542


 
- 110 - immediately due and payable and, upon any such declaration, all such amounts will become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(i) or 7.1(j) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes will thereupon become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. However, the effect of such provision may be limited by applicable laws. (b) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 days after the occurrence thereof, notice of any Payment Default or acceleration referred to in Section 7.1(f)(ii). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, if an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(b) occurs in relation to a failure by the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Section 6.15, “premium” shall include, without duplication to any other amounts included in “premium” for these purposes, the excess of: (i) the Change of Control Payment that was required to be offered in accordance with Section 6.15, in the event such offer was not made, or, in the event such offer was made, the Change of Control Payment that was required to be paid in accordance with Section 6.15; over (ii) the principal amount of the Notes that were required to be subject to such offer or payment, as applicable. (c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee: (i) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuer, the Holders and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (A) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and (B) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that if the Event of Default has occurred by reason of the non-observance or non-performance by the Issuer of any covenant applicable only to one or more series of Notes, then the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes of that series shall be entitled to exercise the foregoing power of rescission and the Trustee shall so act and it shall not be necessary to obtain a waiver from the Holders of any other series of Notes; and 150552542v1150552542


 
- 111 - (ii) the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to declare the principal and interest on the Notes (or any of them) to be due and payable, or to obtain or enforce payment of the same, shall have the power to waive any Event of Default if, in the Trustee’s opinion, the same shall have been cured or adequate satisfaction made therefor, and in such event to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, provided that no such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. (d) Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a), in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(f) 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 the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30 day period which has not been cured or waived during such period. (e) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or principal (or premium, if any) of, Notes; provided that if the Default or Event of Default has occurred by reason of the non-observance or non-performance by the Issuer of any covenant applicable only to one or more series of Notes, then the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series shall be entitled to waive such Default or Event of Default and it shall not be necessary to obtain a waiver from the Holders of any other series of Notes. 7.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee (a) The Issuer covenants that if: (i) Default is made in the payment of any instalment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (ii) Default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any on) any Note at the Maturity thereof and such default continues for a period of three Business Days, 150552542v1150552542


 
- 112 - the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue instalment of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, 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. (b) If the Issuer 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 Issuer or any other obligor (including the Guarantors, if any) upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated. (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective 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. 7.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim (a) In case of any pending receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer and its debts or any other obligor upon the Notes (including the Guarantors, if any), and their debts or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes 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 Issuer for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any) or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes 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 150552542v1150552542


 
- 113 - (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee hereunder. (b) 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 Notes 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. 7.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes 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 rateable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 7.6 Application of Monies by Trustee (a) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 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, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: (i) first, in payment or in reimbursement to the Trustee of its reasonable compensation, costs, charges, expenses, borrowings, advances or other monies furnished or provided by or at the instance of the Trustee in or about the execution of its trusts under, or otherwise in relation to, this Indenture, with interest thereon as herein provided; (ii) second, but subject as hereinafter in this Section 7.6 provided, in payment, rateably and proportionately to the Holders, of the principal of and premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default on the Notes which shall then be outstanding in the priority of principal first and then premium and then accrued and unpaid interest and 150552542v1150552542


 
- 114 - interest on amounts in default unless otherwise directed by a resolution of the Holders in accordance with Article 12 and in that case in such order or priority as between principal, premium (if any) and interest as may be directed by such resolution; and (iii) third, in payment of the surplus, if any, of such monies to the Issuer or its assigns and/or the Guarantors, as the case may be; provided, however, that no payment shall be made pursuant to Section 7.6(a)(ii) above in respect of the principal, premium or interest on any Notes held, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than any Notes pledged for value and in good faith to a Person other than the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer but only to the extent of such Person’s interest therein), except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal, premium (if any) and interest (if any) on all Notes which are not so held. (b) The Trustee shall not be bound to apply or make any partial or interim payment of any monies coming into its hands if the amount so received by it, after reserving thereout such amount as the Trustee may think necessary to provide for the payments mentioned in Section 7.6(a), is insufficient to make a distribution of at least 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each applicable series, but it may retain the money so received by it and invest or deposit the same as provided in Section 11.9 until the money or the investments representing the same, with the income derived therefrom, together with any other monies for the time being under its control shall be sufficient for the said purpose or until it shall consider it advisable to apply the same in the manner hereinbefore set forth. The foregoing shall, however, not apply to a final payment or distribution hereunder. 7.7 No Suits by Holders Except to enforce payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) or interest on any Note (after giving effect to any applicable grace period specified therefor in Section 7.1(a) and 7.1(b)), no Holder shall have any right to institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a liquidator, trustee or receiver or for a receiving order under any Bankruptcy Laws or to have the Issuer or any Guarantor wound up or to file or prove a claim in any liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding or for any other remedy hereunder, unless the Trustee: (a) the Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (b) the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (c) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 150552542v1150552542


 
- 115 - (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request, it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and rateable benefit of all the Holders. 7.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Holder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes held by such Holder on the applicable Maturity date and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 7.9 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 Issuer, the Guarantors (if any), 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. 7.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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. 7.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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 7 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. 150552542v1150552542

For certainty, no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Trustee as a result of the Trustee acting or refraining from acting under the terms of this Indenture in accordance with the instructions from the Holders. 7.13 Notice of Event of Default If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Trustee shall, within 30 days after it receives written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 14.2, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Trustee shall have been requested to do so by the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Trustee shall not be required to give such notice if the Trustee in good faith shall have determined that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Holders and shall have so advised the Issuer in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice relating to a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest shall not in any circumstances be withheld. 7.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws The Issuer 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 Issuer (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. 150552542v1150552542


 
- 117 - 7.15 Undertaking for Costs All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s 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 attorney’s 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. 7.16 Judgment Against the Issuer The Issuer covenants and agrees with the Trustee that, in case of any judicial or other proceedings to enforce the rights of the Holders, judgment may be rendered against it in favour of the Holders or in favour of the Trustee, as trustee for the Holders, for any amount which may remain due in respect of the Notes of any series and premium (if any) and the interest thereon and any other monies owing hereunder. 7.17 Immunity of Officers and Others The Holders, the Beneficial Holders and the Trustee hereby waive and release any right, cause of action or remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any past, present or future officer, director, employee, consultant, contractor, incorporator, member, manager, partner or holder of Capital Stock of the Issuer and of any Guarantor or of any successor for the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on any of the Notes or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Issuer contained herein or in the Notes. Each Holder and Beneficial Holder, by accepting its interest in Notes, waives and releases all such claims against, and liability of, such Persons. The waiver and release provided for in this Section 7.17 are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 7.18 Notice of Payment by Trustee Not less than 15 days’ notice shall be given in the manner provided in Section 14.2 by the Trustee to the Holders of Notes of any series of any payment to be made under this Article 7. Such notice shall state the time when and place where such payment is to be made and also the liability under this Indenture to which it is to be applied. After the day so fixed, unless payment shall have been duly demanded and have been refused, the Holders of Notes of the affected series will be entitled to interest only on the balance (if any) of the principal monies, premium (if any) and interest due (if any) to them, respectively, on the relevant Notes, after deduction of the respective amounts payable in respect thereof on the day so fixed. 150552542v1150552542

- 120 - Defeasance”) in respect of such series. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such series (including the Guarantees thereof), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Sections 8.6 and 8.8 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in Sections 8.3(a)(i) and 8.3(a)(ii), and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and, to the extent applicable to such Notes, this Indenture and the Guarantees (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture; (ii) the Issuer’s obligations concerning issuing temporary Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes and the maintenance of a register in respect of the Notes; (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and (iv) provisions of this Section 8.3.

A resolution passed by the affirmative votes of the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes represented and voting on a poll at a meeting of Holders duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture shall constitute conclusively such consent, waiver, notice, authorization or resolution; except for those matters set out in Section 12.2, which shall require the consent of each Holder affected thereby as set out therein. (b) At any time and from time to time, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer may and, on receipt of an Issuer Order or a Holders’ Request and upon being indemnified and funded for the costs thereof to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee by the Issuer or the Holders signing such Holders’ Request, will, convene a meeting of all Holders. 150552542v1150552542

Such notice shall state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 9. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to any Holder shall not invalidate any resolution passed at any such meeting. A Holder may waive notice of a meeting either before or after the meeting. (b) If the business to be transacted at any meeting by resolution of Holder’s, or any action to be taken or power exercised by instrument in writing under Section 9.12, especially affects the rights of holders of Notes of one or more series in a manner or to an extent differing in any material way from that in or to which the rights of holders of Notes of any other series are affected (determined as provided in Sections 9.2(c) and 9.2(d)), then: (i) a reference to such fact, indicating each series of Notes in the opinion of the Trustee (or the Person calling the meeting) so especially affected (hereinafter referred to as the “especially affected series”) shall be made in the notice of such meeting, and in any such case the meeting shall be and be deemed to be and is herein referred to as a “Serial Meeting”; and (ii) the holders of Notes of an especially affected series shall not be bound by any action taken at a Serial Meeting or by instrument in writing under Section 9.12 unless in addition to compliance with the other provisions of this Article 9: (A) at such Serial Meeting: (I) there are Holders present in person or by proxy and representing at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding of such series, subject to the provisions of this Article 9 as to quorum at adjourned meetings; and (II) the resolution is passed by such proportion of Holders of the principal 150552542v1150552542

(d) A proposal: (i) to extend the Maturity of Notes of any particular series or to reduce the principal amount thereof, the rate of interest or premium thereon; (ii) to modify or terminate any covenant or agreement which by its terms is effective only so long as Notes of a particular series are outstanding; or (iii) to reduce with respect to Holders of any particular series any percentage stated in this Section 9.2 or Sections 9.4 and 9.12; shall be deemed to especially affect the rights of the Holders of such series in a manner differing in a material way from that in which it affects the rights of holders of Notes of any other series, whether or not a similar extension, reduction, modification or termination is proposed with respect to Notes of any or all other series. 9.3 Chair Some individual, who need not be a Holder, nominated in writing by the Trustee shall be chair of the meeting and if no individual is so nominated, or if the individual so nominated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, a majority of the Holders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present to be chair. 9.4 Quorum Subject to this Indenture, at any meeting of the Holders of Notes of any series or of all series then outstanding, as the case may be, a quorum shall consist of Holders present in person or by proxy and representing at least 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the relevant series or all series then outstanding, as the case may be, and, if the meeting is a Serial 150552542v1150552542

Every resolution, other than in respect of those matters set out in Section 12.2, will be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the poll for that resolution. 9.8 Proxies A Holder may be present and vote at any meeting of Holders by an authorized representative.

- 127 - from time to time make and vary such regulations as it shall think fit providing for and governing any or all of the following matters: (a) the form of the instrument appointing a proxy, which shall be in writing, and the manner in which the same shall be executed and the production of the authority of any individual signing on behalf of a Holder; (b) the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at such place as the Trustee, the Issuer or the Holder convening the meeting, as the case may be, may, in the notice convening the meeting, direct and the time, if any, before the holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof by which the same must be deposited; and (c) the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held and enabling particulars of such instruments appointing proxies to be mailed, faxed, cabled, telegraphed or sent by other electronic means before the meeting to the Issuer or to the Trustee at the place where the same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting. Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. Save as such regulations may provide, the only Persons who shall be recognized at any meeting as the Holders of any Notes, or as entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof, shall be Holders and Persons whom Holders have by instrument in writing duly appointed as their proxies. 9.9 Persons Entitled to Attend Meetings The Issuer and the Trustee, by their respective directors, officers and employees and the respective legal advisors of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Holder may attend any meeting of the Holders, but shall have no vote as such. 9.10 Powers Cumulative Any one or more of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercisable by the Holders by resolution or otherwise may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers from time to time shall not be deemed to exhaust the rights of the Holders to exercise the same or any other such power or powers thereafter from time to time. No powers exercisable by resolution will derogate in any way from the rights of the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture. 9.11 Minutes Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting as aforesaid shall be made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Trustee at the expense of the Issuer, and any such minutes as aforesaid, if signed by the chair of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings had, or by the chair of the next succeeding meeting of the Holders, shall be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting, in respect of the proceedings of which minutes shall have been 150552542v1150552542

Notice of any resolution passed in accordance with this Section 9.12 will be given by the Trustee to the affected Holders within 30 days of the date on which such resolution was passed. 9.13 Binding Effect of Resolutions Every resolution passed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 at a meeting of Holders of a particular series of Notes or of all series then outstanding, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all the Holders of Notes or of the particular series, as the case may be, whether present at or absent from such meeting, and every instrument in writing signed by Holders in accordance with Section 9.12 shall be binding upon all the Holders, whether signatories thereto or not, and each and every Holder and the Trustee (subject to the provisions for its indemnity herein contained) shall, subject to applicable law, be bound to give effect accordingly to every such resolution and instrument in writing. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture (but subject to the provisions of any indenture, deed or instrument supplemental or ancillary hereto), any covenant or other provision in this Indenture or in any Supplemental Indenture which is expressed to be or is determined by the Trustee (relying on the advice of Counsel) to be effective only with respect to Notes of a particular series, may be modified by the required resolution or consent of the holders of Notes of such series in the same manner as if the Notes of such series were the only Notes outstanding under this Indenture. 9.14 Evidence of Rights of Holders (a) Any request, direction, notice, consent or other instrument which this Indenture may require or permit to be signed or executed by the Holders may be in any number of concurrent instruments of similar tenor signed or executed by such Holders.

When the continuing successor Person assumes all of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and delivers to the Trustee the related Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be discharged from those obligations; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets.

ARTICLE 11 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 11.1 No Conflict of Interest The Trustee represents to the Issuer that at the date of execution and delivery by it of this Indenture there exists no material conflict of interest in the role of the Trustee as a fiduciary hereunder but if, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.1, such a material conflict of interest exists, or hereafter arises, the validity and enforceability of this Indenture and the Notes of any series shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only that such material conflict of interest exists or arises. 11.2 Replacement of Trustee (a) The Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder by giving to the Issuer 90 days’ notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Issuer may accept as sufficient. If at any time a material conflict of interest exists in the Trustee’s role as a fiduciary hereunder the Trustee shall, within 30 days after ascertaining that such a material conflict of interest exists, either eliminate such material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 11.2. The validity and enforceability of this Indenture and of the Notes issued hereunder shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only that such a material conflict of interest exists. In the event of the Trustee resigning or being removed or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Issuer shall forthwith appoint a new Trustee unless a new Trustee has already been appointed by the Holders in accordance with the 150552542v1150552542


 
- 132 - provisions hereof. Failing such appointment by the Issuer, the retiring Trustee or any Holder may apply to a judge of the British Columbia Supreme Court, on such notice as such judge may direct at the Issuer’s expense, for the appointment of a new Trustee but any new Trustee so appointed by the Issuer or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Holders and the appointment of such new Trustee shall be effective only upon such new Trustee becoming bound by this Indenture. Any new Trustee appointed under any provision of this Section 11.2 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in one or more province(s) of Canada. On any new appointment the new Trustee shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee. (b) Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or, with or to which it may be consolidated, amalgamated or sold, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation, sale or amalgamation to which the Trustee shall be a party, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution of any instrument or any further act. Nevertheless, upon the written request of the successor Trustee or of the Issuer, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument assigning and transferring to such successor Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all property and money held by such Trustee to the successor Trustee so appointed in its place. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer or any Guarantor be required by any new Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts, then any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall on request of said new Trustee, be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable. 11.3 Rights and Duties of Trustee (a) In the exercise of the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith and exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent Trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, the Trustee will be liable for its own wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The Trustee will not be liable for any act or default on the part of any agent employed by it or a co-Trustee, or for having permitted any agent or co-Trustee to receive and retain any money payable to the Trustee, except as aforesaid. (b) Nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation on the Trustee to see to or require evidence of the registration or filing (or renewal thereof) of this Indenture or any instrument ancillary or supplemental hereto or thereto, or for the perfection or maintenance of any security interest created hereunder. (c) The Trustee shall not be: 150552542v1150552542


 
- 133 - (i) accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Notes or the proceeds thereof; (ii) responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture; (iii) liable for any error in judgment made in good faith unless negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or (iv) responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation, any provision of any law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; cyberterrorism; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action. (d) The Trustee shall have the right to disclose any information disclosed or released to it if, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, after consultation with Counsel, it is required to disclose under any applicable laws, court order or administrative directions, or if, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, it is required to disclose to its regulatory authority. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable to any party for any loss or damage arising out of or in any way sustained or incurred or in any way relating to such disclosure. (e) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any error made or act done by it resulting from reliance upon the signature of any Person on whose signature the Trustee is entitled to act, or refrain from acting, under a specific provision of this Indenture. (f) The Trustee shall be entitled to treat a facsimile, pdf or e-mail communication or communication by other similar electronic means in a form satisfactory to the Trustee from a Person purporting to be (and whom the Trustee, acting reasonably, believes in good faith to be) an authorized representative of the Issuer or a Holder, as sufficient instructions and authority of such party for the Trustee to act and shall have no duty to verify or confirm that Person is so authorized. The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by it as a result of such reliance upon, or compliance with, such instructions or directions, except to the extent any such losses, cost or expense are the direct result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee. The Issuer and the Holders agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions than the method(s) selected by such party; and (iii) that 150552542v1150552542

The Trustee may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. Without restricting the foregoing, the Trustee may rely on an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee notwithstanding that it is delivered by a solicitor or firm which acts as solicitors for the Issuer. (b) The Trustee shall have no obligation to ensure or verify compliance with any applicable laws or regulatory requirements on the issue or transfer of any Notes provided such issue or transfer is effected in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to process all transfers and redemptions upon the presumption that such transfer and redemption is permissible pursuant to all applicable laws and regulatory requirements if such transfer and redemption is effected in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no obligation, other than to confer with the Issuer and its Counsel, to ensure that legends appearing on the Notes comply with regulatory requirements or securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 11.5 Evidence and Authority to Trustee, Opinions, etc. (a) The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee evidence of compliance with the conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to any action or step required or permitted to be taken by the Issuer or the Trustee under this Indenture or as a result of any obligation imposed under this Indenture, including without limitation, the authentication and delivery of Notes hereunder, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the taking of any other action to be taken by the Trustee at the request of or on the application of the Issuer, forthwith if and when (a) such evidence is required by any other Section of this Indenture to be furnished to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.5, or (b) the Trustee, in the exercise of its rights and duties under this Indenture, gives the Issuer written notice requiring it to furnish such evidence in relation to any particular action or obligation specified in such notice.

(b) Whenever such evidence relates to a matter other than the authentication and delivery of Notes and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such evidence may consist of a report or opinion of any solicitor, auditor, accountant, engineer or appraiser or any other appraiser or any other individual whose qualifications give authority to a statement made by such individual, provided that if such report or opinion is furnished by a director, officer or employee of the Issuer it shall be in the form of a statutory declaration.

The Issuer shall, whenever the Trustee so requires, furnish the Trustee with evidence by way of statutory declaration, opinion, report or certificate as specified by the Trustee as to any action or step required or permitted to be taken by the Issuer or as a result of any obligation imposed by this Indenture. 150552542v1150552542

BA-2 GUARANTY THIS GUARANTY dated as of [ ], is executed by [Guarantor], a [Jurisdiction] corporation (the “Guarantor”) in favour of Odyssey Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as Trustee under the Indenture (as defined below). RECITALS WHEREAS, Curaleaf Holdings, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Issuer”) is party to that certain Indenture of even date herewith between the Issuer and the Trustee (the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms under the Indenture; WHEREAS, the Issuer will issue Notes from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (including its 8.0011.50% senior secured notes due December 15, 2026February 18, 2029) to be held by certain noteholders (each a “Noteholder” and, collectively, the “Noteholders”); and WHEREAS, the undersigned will benefit from the making of loans pursuant to the Indenture and is willing to guaranty the Liabilities (as defined below) as hereinafter set forth. NOW, THEREAFTER, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of: (a) all obligations (monetary or otherwise) of the Issuer to each of the Trustee and each of the Noteholders (as defined below) under or in connection with the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith and (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges) paid or incurred by the Trustee or any Noteholder in enforcing this Guaranty, any Security Document or any other applicable document against such undersigned (all such obligations being herein collectively called the “Liabilities”); provided that the liability of the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Liabilities that such undersigned may guaranty without violating any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law. The undersigned agrees that if any Event of Default occurs under Article 7 of the Indenture, at a time when the Liabilities are not otherwise due and payable (whether due to a judicial stay of acceleration or otherwise), then such undersigned will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Noteholders forthwith the full amount that would be payable hereunder by such undersigned if all Liabilities were then due and payable, subject to applicable law. This guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collectability, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding the dissolution of any of the undersigned, that at any time or from time to time no Liabilities are outstanding or any other circumstances) until such time as set forth in the Indenture. 150552542v1150552542


 
BA-3 The undersigned further agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Trustee or any Noteholder to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Trustee or such Noteholder for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or any of the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Trustee or such Noteholder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Trustee or such Noteholder had not been made, subject to applicable law. The Trustee or any Noteholder may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to the undersigned, take any or all of the following actions without affecting any of the obligations of the undersigned hereunder, subject, in each case, to applicable law: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor to obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (c) extend or renew any of the Liabilities for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities, (d) release any security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, any part of any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property, and (e) resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the Liabilities when due, whether or not the Trustee or such Noteholder shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other of the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Liabilities. The undersigned hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty by the Trustee or any Noteholder, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of any of the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not be subrogated to any right of the Trustee or any Noteholder until such time as the Trustee and the Noteholders shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all Liabilities. The undersigned further agrees to pay all expenses (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges) paid or incurred by the Trustee or any Noteholder in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities from such undersigned, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty against such undersigned. The creation or existence from time to time of additional Liabilities to the Trustee or the Noteholders or any of them is hereby authorized, without notice to the undersigned, and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders or the obligations of the 150552542v1150552542

No delay on the part of the Trustee or any Noteholder in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Trustee or any Noteholder of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be binding upon the Trustee or the Noteholder, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Trustee.

This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia applicable to contracts made and to be fully performed in such Province.

BA-5 prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

CB-1 APPENDIX D INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT TERMS The Issuer will be permitted to negotiate the terms of an Intercreditor Agreement among the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, and the Credit Facility Agent (on behalf of the lenders and secured parties under any Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Lenders”)), which will, among other things, define the relative rights of the Holders and the Credit Facility Lenders with respect to the Collateral and related matters. Overview Pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time at which Credit Facility Obligations are outstanding, the Credit Facility Agent will, subject to the exceptions discussed below, determine the time and method by which the security interests and Liens in the Collateral will be enforced. The Intercreditor Agreement will apply at all times prior to, during and after any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Issuer or any Guarantor (and, for certainty, at all times until the Credit Facility Obligations have been fully repaid, all commitments terminated, and all documents entered in to in connection therewith cancelled, released and discharged, as applicable) and will provide, among other things, for Lien priorities as follows: (1) the Credit Facility Obligations shall be secured on a first-priority basis by all Collateral; and (2) the Note Obligations shall be secured on a junior priority basis by all Collateral relative to the Credit Facility Obligations. The relative Lien priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement will not be affected by, inter alia, (a) the fact that the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility Obligations may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility Documents, (b) the fact that the Credit Facility Obligations will consist of Indebtedness that is revolving in nature and the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and (c) any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, increase, renewal, restatement or replacement of any of the Credit Facility Obligations (or any part thereof), by the release of any Collateral or of any guarantees for any Credit Facility Obligations or by any action that the Credit Facility Agent or any holder of Credit Facility Obligations may take or fail to take in respect of any Collateral. The Credit Facility Documents will be permitted to be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, or refinanced, without the consent of any holder of Note Obligations; provided that the Intercreditor Agreement will not permit any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or refinancing that would increase the borrowings under the Credit Facility Documents in a manner that would not be permitted under Section 6.10 of the Indenture. Until the Credit Facility Obligations have been fully repaid, all commitments terminated, and all documents entered in to in connection therewith cancelled, released and discharged, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the Credit Facility Agent, no Note Document 150552542v1150552542


 
CB-2 may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified and/or refinanced or entered into to the extent, inter alia, such amendment, supplement, restatement or modification and/or refinancing, or the terms of any new Note Document would reduce the capacity to incur debt for borrowed money constituting Credit Facility Obligations to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of commitments under the Credit Facility Documents on the day of any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or refinancing. In addition, the Indenture will provide that if Indebtedness is incurred that is, and is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Credit Facility to be, secured on an equal priority basis to the Note Obligations with respect to any Collateral, then the Collateral Trustee, at the request of the Issuer, will enter into an intercreditor agreement with customary terms and provisions, or an amendment or supplement or joinder to the Intercreditor Agreement, with the representative of holders of such Indebtedness, the Credit Facility Agent and any other applicable agents, providing for such equal priority to the holders of the Note Obligations. Foreclosure and Application of Proceeds The Indenture provides that the Collateral Trustee, after receipt of instructions from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes may, after the obligations outstanding under the Notes have been accelerated, generally realize upon the Collateral, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Trustee will only exercise remedies under the Security Documents, including, without limitation, the institution of foreclosure proceedings, in accordance with the Security Documents and applicable law if the Holders have accelerated their Indebtedness or if their Indebtedness is accelerated without any declaration or other act under the circumstances described in Section 7.1(i) of the Indenture. However, the rights and remedies available to the Collateral Trustee and the Holders under the Security Documents and the actions permitted to be taken by the Collateral Trustee thereunder with respect to the Collateral will be subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. If any Credit Facility Obligations are outstanding at any time when the obligations outstanding under the Notes have been accelerated, the Intercreditor Agreement will require that the proceeds from any Collateral received pursuant to a disposition made by the Issuer or any Guarantor with the consent of the Credit Facility Lenders, the enforcement of any Security Document, proceeds received in connection with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) or the exercise of any remedies thereunder, or upon any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to either the Issuer or any Guarantor, will be applied: (1) first, to pay the Credit Facility Obligations; (2) second, to pay the Notes Obligations; and (3) third, to the Issuer or such Guarantor. The Intercreditor Agreement will provide that if any Credit Facility Obligations or commitments related thereto are then outstanding, the Collateral Trustee and the Holders will have no ability to control any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies with respect to any of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the time or method); provided, however, that if neither the Credit Facility Agent nor any holder of the Credit Facility Obligations has diligently pursued foreclosure or other exercise of remedies in good faith with respect to the Collateral for 180 days 150552542v1150552542


 
CB-3 after notice by the Collateral Trustee to the Credit Facility Agent of an Event of Default (the “Standstill Period”), the Collateral Trustee and the Holders will be permitted to pursue foreclosure or other exercise of remedies with respect to such Collateral; provided, further, however, that the Collateral Trustee and the Holders may not pursue foreclosure or other exercise of remedies with respect to such Collateral, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, if and for so long as the Credit Facility Agent or any holder of the Credit Facility Obligations (x) has commenced and is diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or a material portion of the Collateral or (y) is stayed from exercising any rights and remedies under applicable law (including any applicable bankruptcy or similar law). The fact that the lenders under the Credit Facility Obligations will have a first-priority Lien on the Collateral that secures the Note Obligations and that the Issuer and the Guarantors may incur certain other obligations secured by Permitted Liens on the Collateral may have a material adverse effect on the amount that would be realized by Holders upon a liquidation of or other realization upon the Collateral. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that proceeds of any sale of or other realization upon the Collateral pursuant to the Indenture and the related Security Documents following an Event of Default would be sufficient to satisfy, or would not be substantially less than, amounts due under the Notes. If the proceeds of the Collateral are not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the Notes, the Holders (to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral) would have only an unsecured claim against the remaining assets of the Corporation and the Guarantors. Exercise of Remedies Subject to the rights of the Collateral Trustee and the Holders arising after the expiry of the Standstill Period, as set forth above, until the Credit Facility Obligations have been fully repaid, the commitments terminated and all documents entered in to in connection therewith cancelled, released and discharged, as applicable, the Credit Facility Agent and the lenders under the Credit Facility Obligations shall have the exclusive right to exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to their discretion and the exercise of their good faith business judgment, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, process, sell, lease, dispose of, or liquidate any Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any of the Collateral Trustee or any Holder. Notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or the Holders under applicable law or otherwise, prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period, and thereafter, if and for so long as the Credit Facility Agent or any holder of the Credit Facility Obligations has commenced and is diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or a material portion of the Collateral or is stayed from exercising any rights and remedies under applicable law (including any applicable bankruptcy or similar law), the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and the Holders shall not, directly or indirectly, seek to foreclose or realize upon (judicially or non-judicially) their Lien on or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, by setoff or notification of account debtors). 150552542v1150552542


 
CB-4 The Intercreditor Agreement is not expected to: (i) preclude the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and the Holders from accelerating the Notes upon an Event of Default or from exercising any other rights and remedies available to unsecured creditors against the Issuer or any Guarantor provided that such rights and remedies do not violate, or are not otherwise inconsistent with, any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further that, in the event that the Collateral Trustee of any Holder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of rights available to an unsecured creditor with respect to the Note Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Credit Facility Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Note Obligations are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement); (ii) prohibit the receipt by the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or any Holder of regularly scheduled payments of principal of, and regularly scheduled payments of interest on, the Notes (so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Collateral Trustee or any Holder of rights or remedies (including set-off) in respect of the Collateral in violation of the Intercreditor Agreement); or (iii) preclude the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and the Holder from taking Permitted Protective Actions. Following the acceleration of any Credit Facility Obligations (the “Purchase Event”), within 30 days of the Purchase Event (or such longer period as the Credit Facility Agent may agree to), the Collateral Trustee and the holders of the Notes will have the option, by notice to the Credit Facility Agent, to purchase on customary terms all (but not less than all) of the Credit Facility Obligations and any loans provided by the holders of the Credit Facility Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing outstanding at the time of purchase in full at par in cash, plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Credit Facility Obligations and/or such DIP Financing and accrued and unpaid interest, and all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, at applicable post-default rates and fees, including breakage costs. If such option is exercised, the purchase of such Credit Facility Obligations and DIP Financing shall be consummated within not less than five Business Days and not more than 10 Business Day of the notice. Other Customary Provisions The Intercreditor Agreement will provide for other customary provisions for agreements of this nature, including, for instance: • prohibition on contesting Liens; • limitations on new or additional Liens being granted in favour of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee; • release of Liens upon permitted dispositions, casualty events or similar events; and • provisions relating to the ability of the Credit Facility Lenders to provide DIP Financing and other customary provisions relating to Insolvency Proceedings. 150552542v1150552542

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN 2.1. Revolving Line. 2.1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3) and prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrowers in such amounts as requested by a Borrower-Agent (each, a “Revolving Loan”), provided that no Revolving Loan shall be made if the amount of such Revolving Loan, when added to the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Advances, would cause the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Advances to exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit as of that date. The credit facility established under and governed by this Section 2 is a revolving line of credit facility such that, subject to the limitations of this Section 2 and the Borrowers’ compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, re-pay, and re-borrow Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding the definition of “Revolving Loan Commitment” set forth in Section 1, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Lender to make any Revolving Loan after the Maturity Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, but the Lender may choose to do so in its sole discretion. Each Borrower agrees that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Advances outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit, and in the event that the Aggregate Revolving Advances exceed such limit (an “Overadvance”), Borrowers will immediately pay the Lender an amount equal to such Overadvance; provided, that, if a Specified Overadvance shall occur during the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2025 or March 31, 2026, the Borrowers shall have a one- time grace period of not more than sixty (60) days from the date on which the Borrowing Base Certificate for the applicable month during which such Specified Overadvance occurred (the “Applicable Month”) is required to be delivered (as may be extended as specified below, the “Borrowing Base Cure Period”) to cure any such Overadvance by


 
-28- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 either (i) paying the full amount of the Overadvance, or (ii) otherwise eliminating such Overadvance (by such other means that shall be subject to Lender’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating the elimination of such Overadvance (the “Borrowing Base Cure”). Upon the written request of the Borrowers, the Borrowing Base Cure Period may be extended at the sole discretion of the Lender for an additional thirty (30) day period. The Borrower-Agents shall notify Lender in writing of the Borrowers’ intent to exercise the Borrowing Base Cure concurrently with the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate for the Applicable Month, and the right to such exercise with respect to the Specified Overadvance shall be deemed waived if such notice is not received by such date. During the Borrowing Base Cure Period no further Loans or Letters of Credit will be permitted without the consent of the Lender. If the Borrowers failure to cure such Specified Overadvance during the Borrowing Base Cure Period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the Specified Overadvance first arose, and the Lender shall have all rights and remedies available to it in respect of such Event of Default as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however, upon the Borrowers’ satisfaction of the Borrowing Base Cure in accordance with this Section 2.1.1, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such Specified Overadvance. 2.1.2. The Borrowing Base is intended solely for monitoring purposes. Lender has the right to establish and readjust from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion, Required Reserves against the Borrowing Base or credit availability under the Revolving Loan (without duplication), which shall have the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise eligible to be disbursed to Borrowers under the Revolving Loan pursuant to this Agreement. The making of Revolving Loans, advances, and credits or the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Lender to Borrowers in excess of the above described Borrowing Base formula is for the benefit of Borrowers and does not affect the obligations of Borrowers hereunder; all such loans constitute Obligations and must be repaid by Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note. 2.1.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at its option, and without limiting any other rights or remedies, Lender may at any time make a Revolving Loan or other advances hereunder to pay or discharge any taxes, liens, rent, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied against, impacting in any manner or placed on any of the Collateral, and may procure and make a Revolving Loan or other advance hereunder to pay any premiums on any insurance required to be carried by a Borrower, and provide for the maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral, and otherwise take any action reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to protect its security, and all amounts expended by Lender in connection with any of the foregoing matters, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be considered Obligations of Borrowers and outstanding Revolving Loans (and shall be added to Borrowers’ balance of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement), and shall be secured by the Collateral. 2.2. Note. The Revolving Loan shall be payable with interest thereon as provided in and evidenced by the Note.


 
-29- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 2.3. Loan Documents. The Loan is made upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and in the other Loan Documents. The terms and provisions of all such Loan Documents are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. 2.4. Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to Lender, on the date hereof, the full amount of the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee is intended to compensate Lender for processing the Borrowers’ application for and processing of the Loan and for Lender’s commitment of funds for the Loan. The Commitment Fee shall be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date. 2.5. Unused Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender, an unused fee (the "Unused Fee"), which shall accrue at a rate equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (on an annualized basis) on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment during the period from and including the date on which this Loan Agreement becomes effective pursuant to Section 3 to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Loan Commitment terminates. For purposes of computing Unused Fees, the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the aggregate principal amount at such time of the outstanding Revolving Loans. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitment terminates. All Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 2.6. Use of Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely as provided for in this Agreement. 2.7. Marijuana Laws. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Borrowers are engaged in the regulated Cannabis industry in the Applicable States and the board of directors and officers of the respective Borrowers control the equity, or revenue of, or decisions made by, the Borrowers. All such activities are permitted only pursuant to the Regulatory Licenses. 2.8. Letters of Credit. At the request of the Borrower-Agents and upon the execution of letter of credit documentation satisfactory to the Lender, the Lender may issue letters of credit from time to time for the account of a Loan Party (each a "Letter of Credit", and collectively, “Letters of Credit”) up to the L/C Sublimit (less any already issued and outstanding Letters of Credit) under the Revolving Loan, provided that Aggregate Revolving Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit. In the event a Letter of Credit is issued by the Lender, the Unreimbursed Amounts with respect to such Letter of Credit and the un-drawn amount of such Letter of Credit shall constitute outstanding advances for purposes of calculating credit availability under the Revolving Loan. In the event that any Letter of Credit issued by the Lender is drawn upon, in whole or in part, the Borrowers shall immediately pay or reimburse Lender for such amounts so drawn unless otherwise agreed by the Lender in its sole discretion. The Borrowers agree to pay or reimburse, as applicable, the Lender the amount required to pay each draw on any Letter of Credit in immediately available funds on demand or at the Lender’s request in advance. Any and all existing Letters of Credit issued by the Lender at Borrower’s request and


 
-30- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 currently outstanding, including without limitation, the Existing Letter of Credit, shall constitute a Letter of Credit subject to the Agreement. The Letters of Credit shall be on terms mutually and reasonably acceptable to the Lender and Borrowers, and no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the sooner to occur of (i) twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of the subject Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Maturity Date. In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Loan Parties shall pay to the Lender an annual nonrefundable Letter of Credit renewal fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the Lender hereunder in an amount equal to (i) one percent (1%) per annum, multiplied by (ii) the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Lender shall have the right to effectuate payment of such fees when due by charging a Deposit Account of the applicable Loan Party. In addition, each Loan Party hereby authorizes and directs the Lender, in the Lender’s sole discretion (provided, however, the Lender shall have no obligation to do so) to pay all such fees and costs as the same become due and payable and to treat the same as a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers, which shall be added to the Borrowers’ Aggregate Revolving Advances balance pursuant to this Agreement. Any and all Letter(s) of Credit, and all Obligations of the Loan Parties with respect thereto, shall at all times be secured by all of the Collateral. 3. GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS. 3.1. Borrowing Procedures. A Borrower-Agent shall give Lender notice of each request for an Advance by means of a Request for Advance containing the information required therein and delivered (by hand or by confirmed electronic transmission) to Lender no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the day on which the Advance is desired to be funded.

(iii) The Loan Parties shall maintain a cash balance of at least $15,000,000 in the aggregate in the Deposit Accounts at all times. In addition, the Loan Parties shall not fund any of the repayments of Indebtedness or other disbursements to be made on the Closing Date with any funds in a Deposit Account. (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties may maintain the Excluded Deposit Accounts, which shall remain open during the term of this Agreement. Promptly, but in any event within ninety (90) days of receipt of consent from the applicable Cannabis Authorities in Utah as may be required under Applicable Law (in the case of the New Deposit Accounts relating to operations in Utah), the Loan Parties will close any and all deposit accounts relating to operations in Utah that are maintained with a depository bank other than Lender and open with the Lender the Utah Deposit Accounts. 7.14. Bank Accounts. In addition to and without limitation of the Inspection Rights set forth in Section 11.10, Loan Parties agree to provide Lender, at all times during this Agreement, to the extent permitted under U.S. Federal Cannabis Law and Applicable Marijuana Laws, to the extent applicable, with sufficient real-time access to view the activity in (i) all commercial transaction accounts of Loan Parties, including, without limitation the Deposit Account(s), the Excluded Deposit Account(s), and all deposit and securities accounts, and (ii) such other accounts and data as Lender deems necessary and appropriate, for the purpose of monitoring the business activities and financing of the Loan Parties. 7.15. Third Party Field Exam. (i) Lender shall have the right, at the Borrowers’ sole cost, to engage a third party to complete a field examination with respect to the Collateral and all books and records pertaining thereto at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice from the Lender at reasonable intervals to be determined by the Lender and without hindrance or delay (except in the case of an emergency or during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, in which case no prior notice shall be required). Each field examination shall be at the expense of the Borrowers; provided that, unless there exists an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay for more than one (1) such field examination in any twelve (12) month period.


 
-57- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 (ii) In addition to the foregoing, the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, the Lender will complete a full scope field examination in accordance with the Lender’s credit policy standards, which shall include an exam and testing of Accounts Receivables, accounts payables, historical financial results, inventory, cash, taxes and insurance (the “Post-Closing Field Exam”) the results of which shall be satisfactory to Lender. The Post-Closing Field Examination shall be conducted by an examiner selected by the Lender and shall be at the expense of the Borrowers. (iii) If the results of the Post-Closing Field Exam or any other field exam are unsatisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), the Lender may deem certain Collateral ineligible and exclude such Collateral from the Borrowing Base. Thereafter, the Lender shall recalculate the Borrowing Base to take into account the exclusion of any Collateral from the Borrowing Base. If the foregoing recalculation of the Borrowing Base based on the results of the Post- Closing Field Exam results in an Overadvance (a “Post-Closing Field Exam Overadvance”), Lender will notify Borrower-Agents of the same, and the Borrowers shall pay the Lender an amount equal to such Overadvance in accordance with Section 2.1.1, provided that the Borrowers shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice from Lender to repay such Post-Closing Field Exam Overadvance. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the foregoing thirty (30) day cure period is a one-time grace period relating solely to a Post-Closing Field Exam Overadvance, and (ii) Borrowing Base Cure shall not apply to any Overadvance resulting from the recalculation of the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 7.15(iii). 7.16. Cash Management Services. In connection with Cash Management Services to be provided by Lender, if the Loan Parties terminate all Cash Management Services prior to the Maturity Date, the Loan Parties shall pay to Lender a one-time exit fee equal to TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($200,000) (the “CMS Termination Fee”). If, following termination of all Cash Management Service, the Lender reestablishes one or more Cash Management Services for any Loan Party, the Loan Parties shall have no obligation to pay another CMS Termination Fee. 7.17. Debt Service Covenant. On each Calculation Date, as applicable, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall not be less than (A) on a pre-Distribution basis, 2.50:1.0 for the trailing twelve month period ending on such Calculation Date, and (ii) on a post-Distribution basis, 1.50:1.0 for the trailing twelve month period ending on such Calculation Date (the “Debt Service Covenant”). If such Debt Service Covenant shall not be satisfied on any such Calculation Date, then Borrowers shall either (a) pay down the Loan by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt Service Covenant (the “Debt Service Shortfall”), or (b) deposit with Lender cash in an amount, or cash collateral with a value that, if the same (when combined with any other cash or cash collateral previously deposited with Lender for the same purpose) were used to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, would satisfy the applicable Debt Service Covenant (“Debt Service Covenant Collateral”). The Borrowers hereby pledge the Debt Service Covenant Collateral deposited with Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence as additional collateral for


 
-58- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 the Loan. It shall be an Event of Default if the Borrowers fail either to pay down the Loan by the amount of the Debt Service Shortfall or deposit cash or cash collateral in the amount or value of the Debt Service Shortfall within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to a Borrower-Agent specifying the amount of the Debt Service Shortfall. If on any Calculation Date, the Lender is holding any Debt Service Covenant Collateral, and the Debt Service Covenant is satisfied, then Lender shall release the Debt Service Covenant Collateral to a Borrower-Agent. At the Maturity Date, all amounts held as Debt Service Covenant Collateral shall be used by Lender to reduce the principal balance of the Loan, or if requested by Borrowers upon full repayment of the Loan, returned to a Borrower-Agent. 7.18. Loan to Value Ratio; Compliance with Borrowing Base. At all times, and tested on a monthly basis commencing as of November 2025 for the period ending October 31, 2025, as determined by the Lender with reference to the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrowers, the Borrowers will maintain a Loan to Value Ratio of not greater than eighty percent (80%). In addition, at all times, but subject to the Borrowing Base Cure as set forth in Section 2.1.1, the Borrowers shall not permit the Aggregate Revolving Advances outstanding at any time to be greater than then current calculation of the Maximum Revolving Credit. 7.19. Additional Dispensaries. In the event that any Loan proceeds are used to build-out additional dispensaries (other than that located at the Mortgaged Properties), the Borrowers shall grant Lender a security interest in such equipment and improvements financed with such proceeds. In connection therewith, the Loan Parties shall cause to be delivered to the Lender such agreements, assignments, or other documents as the Lender reasonably requires with respect thereto, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. 7.20. Appraisals. Each Borrower agrees that it shall be responsible for payment to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand from Lender for the same, for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in obtaining any update to an Approved Appraisal; provided, however, that so long as there does not exist an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall only be responsible for payment for such an update once annually. 7.21. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan and each Letter of Credit will be used solely to fund (i) working capital support for the Borrowers’ business activities, (ii) purchase Indenture Indebtedness existing as of the Closing Date, including without limitation making tender offers, open market purchases, negotiated transactions, private agreements or otherwise redeem or repurchase up to SIXTY MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($60,000,000.00) of Indenture Indebtedness and/or consummate a Refinancing of the Indenture Indebtedness in accordance with and as permitted under Section 6.14(b), (iii) payoff certain other Indebtedness existing as of the Closing Date, (iv) one or more Letters of Credit issued by the Lender, (v) acquisitions of assets and/or new Subsidiaries or Affiliates to the extent permitted hereby, and (vi) other general corporate purposes to the extent such are not prohibited hereby, including, a portion of the costs and expenses to be incurred by Borrowers in connection with the closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, the Closing Costs. No part of the proceeds of any Advance or any Letter of Credit shall be used (a) to fund Distributions to equity holders or shareholders of the Borrowers, (b) to fund losses of the Borrowers, or (c) to finance international investments, fund advances to foreign Subsidiaries, fund loans to foreign Subsidiaries, or acquire companies or assets located outside of the United States.


 
-59- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 7.22. Post-Closing Covenant; Collateral Access Agreements, etc. The Loan Parties shall use commercially feasible efforts to obtain fully executed Collateral Access Agreements and Collateral Assignments of Leases with respect to each of the real property locations of the Loan Parties set forth on Exhibit E hereto within (90) days following the Closing Date. 7.23. Real Property Matters. If any Loan Party acquires, owns or holds a fee interest in any real property with a value greater than THREE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00) that is not covered by a Mortgage, the Borrower-Agents will promptly notify the Lender in writing, identifying the property in question and referring specifically to the rights of the Lender under this Section 7.23. The Loan Parties will, within sixty (60) days following such acquisition, grant to the Lender a Lien on such real property pursuant to the terms of such security agreements, assignments, Mortgages, joinder to any existing Loan Document or such other documents as the Lender requires with respect to such real property, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”). Furthermore, unless waived by the Lender, the Loan Parties shall cause to be delivered to the Lender such opinions of local counsel, corporate resolutions, perfection certificates, Collateral Access Agreement, and Collateral Assignment of Lease with respect to any such real property, and items and documents of the type referred to in Section 3.5.1 relating to Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, Sections 3.5.1(b), (c), (e), (h), (i), (k), (l), (m), and (p)) and other related documents as may be requested by the Lender, in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of any such Additional Security Document, as applicable, all of which documents shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to inclusion of any acquired real property in the Borrowing Base, the Lender shall have received (i) counterparts of a Mortgage with respect to such real property duly executed and delivered by the record owner of such Mortgaged Property, (ii) all applicable Additional Security Documents, and (iii) an updated Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the acquisition of such real property and a Loan to Value Ratio (immediately after giving effect to such acquisition) with respect to the Loans advanced under clause (a) of the Borrowing Base of not greater than eighty percent (80%). In the event that the value of any such acquired real property is less than THREE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00), the Loan Parties hereby agree that until the Payment in Full of the Obligations, they shall not pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber or subject to, or permit to exist upon or become subject to, any Lien on such acquired real property without the prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld), and the Loan Parties shall deliver to Lender any negative pledge or similar documents as may be reasonably requested by the Lender to further evidence the foregoing. 7.24. Excluded Entities. If, within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, any Excluded Entity has not dissolved, such Excluded Entity shall execute and deliver to the Lender a joinder to this Agreement, the Guaranty, and Security Agreement and such other Loan Documents reasonably necessary to join such Excluded Entity as a Loan Party to the Loan Documents and grant and perfect first priority Lien in favor of Lender on the Property of such Excluded Entity, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. 7.25. Litigation Excluded Entities. The Litigation Excluded Entities are currently litigants in pending lawsuits as described on Schedule 7.25 (each a “Lawsuit”), have ceased operations, and have no assets. Within thirty (30) days following a settlement of a Litigation Excluded Entity’s Lawsuit, or entry of a final non-appealable judgment in such Lawsuit, such


 
-60- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 Litigation Excluded Entity shall either (i) execute and deliver to the Lender a joinder to this Agreement, the Guaranty, and Security Agreement and such other Loan Documents reasonably necessary to join such Litigation Excluded Entity as a Loan Party to the Loan Documents and grant and perfect a first priority Lien in favor of Lender on the Property of such Litigation Excluded Entity, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, or (ii) dissolve. To the extent any Litigation Excluded Entity shall dissolve, the Loan Parties shall promptly provide Lender with evidence of such dissolution reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 7.26. Post-Closing Matters. The Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, collateral assignments of the following contracts, which such collateral assignments shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender: (i) Master Agreement, as amended, dated as of March 22, 2019 by and among the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Curaleaf PA, LLC, and Curaleaf Inc., and (ii) Subcontractor Agreement among CLF AZ Management, LLC, Absolute Healthcare, Inc., and Camp Verde dated as of April 1, 2025. 8. INTENTIONALLY DELETED 9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT 9.1. Events of Default.

-65- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 provided that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration is rescinded, as the case may be, such Event of Default under this Agreement and any consequential acceleration hereof shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgement or decree. 9.3. Interpretation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, including without limitation language in any such document which states “upon an occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default” or similar language relating to the continuance of an Event of Default, once an Event of Default has occurred, it shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of Lender to determine whether or not to declare an Event of Default and, once Lender has declared an Event of Default, it shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of Lender to deem such Event of Default to remain outstanding regardless of whether or not a Loan Party or Limited Guarantor subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default has taken such measures which would have prevented an Event of Default from occurring had such measures been taken prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default. 9.4. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion: (a) terminate borrowing availability under the Loan, (b) declare and cause all or any portion of any Obligations due Lender to be immediately due and payable and may terminate its Bank Products; (c) make any payments with respect to any Obligations or with respect to any obligation of a Borrower to any other Person in connection with the operation of any Mortgaged Property; (d) commence, defend or settle any litigation involving any Loan Party or any other collateral for the Loan, including, without limitation, any Mortgaged Property; (e) subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 9.5 below, seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver, and/or (f) exercise any right or remedy available to Lender under the Loan Documents, by Applicable Law or otherwise in order to collect the indebtedness due Lender and otherwise enforce Lender’s rights and remedies. Each Loan Party hereby grants Lender an irrevocable power of attorney to act in its name and stead in connection with the foregoing. In addition, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Lender (and its employees and agents) to enter upon any Mortgaged Property for any of the foregoing purposes and hereby waives any claim against Lender (and its employees and agents) arising out of such entry or out of any act carried out pursuant to this Section 9.4 or any other provision of the Loan Documents, except to the extent that such claims relate to any liability arising as a result of Lender’s (or its employees’ or agents’) gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting any other provision hereof, the Loan Parties agree to pay Lender two (2) Business Days after written demand therefor all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender under this Section 9.4 even if the same shall be more than the amount agreed to be advanced hereunder and under the Note. Each power of attorney granted hereunder, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the Loan is paid in full and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity which any Loan Party may suffer and shall survive the same. Each right conferred on Lender by the provisions of this Section 9.4 is provided solely to protect the interests of Lender and shall not impose any duty on Lender to exercise any such right and neither Lender nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act, omission, error in judgment or mistake of law, except as the same may result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender takes possession of any Mortgaged Property, it shall not be obligated to continue the operation of any Mortgaged Property for any period of time longer than


 
-66- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 Lender shall see fit (in its sole and absolute discretion), and Lender may thereafter, at any time, abandon its efforts and refuse to make further payments for the account of the Loan Parties. 9.5. Receivership as a Remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or limiting in any way the rights of Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise under Applicable Law, at any time after the entire principal balance of the Loan shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity, by acceleration, by an Event of Default or otherwise), Lender shall be entitled to apply for and have a receiver appointed under state or federal law by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell and otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or all or any portion of any collateral granted under any other Loan Document (collectively with any Mortgaged Property, the “Collateral”) and continue the operation of the business of the Loan Parties, and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, and to the payment of the Loans and other fees and expenses due hereunder and under the Loan Documents as aforesaid until a sale or other Disposition of the Mortgaged Properties or the Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. Each Loan Party, for itself and every other person liable for payment of the Obligations hereby waives, and authorizes Lender to waive, any requirement that a receiver post a bond. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, APPLICABLE MARIJUANA LAWS, AND SUBJECT TO ANY REQUISITE CONSENTS OR APPROVALS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH) AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 9.5, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AS PROVIDED ABOVE. EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT, ANY RIGHT TO CONTEST OR OBJECT TO SUCH APPOINTMENT SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVED. EACH LOAN PARTY (I) GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENT KNOWINGLY AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS THEREOF WITH COUNSEL, (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) THE RIGHT TO HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (B) THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING THE LENDER TO MAKE THE LOANS TO THE BORROWERS; AND (III) AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING AND TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSUMPTION AND EXERCISE OF CONTROL BY THE RECEIVER OVER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE COLLATERAL. All amounts expended by the Lender in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be considered Obligations and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.


 
-67- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 9.6. Remedies Not Exclusive. The enumeration of rights and remedies in the Loan Documents is not intended to be exclusive, and they shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of such others as Lender may have under the UCC, other Applicable Law, and any and all Loan Documents or other agreements between or among any Loan Party and Lender. Lender shall, in its discretion, determine the choice of rights and remedies and the order in which they shall be exercised and which person, entity or collateral, if any, is to be proceeded against and in which order. The exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of others, all of which shall be cumulative. No act, failure or delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights and remedies. No single or partial waiver by Lender of any provision of the Loan Documents, or breach or default thereunder, or of any right or remedy which Lender may have shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach, default, right or remedy or of the same one on a future occasion. 10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS 10.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. 10.2. Participations. Lender may, at any time and without the consent of the Loan Parties, sell to one or more Persons (collectively, the “Loan Participants”) participation interests in any Loan owing to Lender, any Loan Commitment of Lender or any other interest of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, pursuant to a participation agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and duly executed by Lender and such Loan Participant(s). In the event of any such sale by Lender of a participation interest to a Loan Participant, from and after the effective date of such participation agreement, (a) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (c) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (d) the Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. 10.3. Assignments. Lender may, at any time, assign to any Person (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, without the consent of the Loan Parties. If Lender only assigns part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, Lender, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, shall remain the agent to the Loan Parties while Lender retains any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such assignment by Lender of an interest to an Assignee, from and after the effective date of such assignment, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder, and (ii) Lender shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Upon the effective date of such assignment, and if required by any Assignee, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Assignee, a new Note to the order of the Assignee in an amount equal to such Assignee’s Loan Commitment. Such new Note shall be dated as of the effective date


 
-68- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 of the assignment and all amounts due and payable thereunder shall only accrue from and be payable after the effective date of the assignment and shall otherwise be in the same form as the Note replaced thereby. In no event shall there be duplication of payments due to any assigning Lender or the Assignee under any Note. The Note replaced thereby shall be marked “cancelled” and returned to the Borrowers with a legend indicating that it has been replaced. In addition to the assignments permitted under this Section 10.3, Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Loan to any Federal Reserve Lender as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by the Federal Reserve Lender. No such assignment shall release Lender from its obligations hereunder. 11. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS 11.1. Interpretation. All capitalized terms not defined herein but defined in the other Loan Documents shall have the meanings given to such terms in the other Loan Documents. All exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The use of the singular of terms which are defined in the plural shall mean and refer to any one of the matters or items included in such definition. Use of the connective “or” is not intended to be exclusive; the term “may not” is intended to be prohibitive and not permissive; use of “includes” and “including” is intended to be interpreted as expansive and amplifying and not as limiting in any way; and pronouns used herein shall be deemed to include the singular and the plural and all genders. 11.2. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in connection with all obligations of Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 11.3. Amendment. This Agreement and the Loan Documents cannot be amended, modified, waived, changed, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Person against whom enforcement of any amendment, modification, waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that only the consent of the parties to a Bank Product agreement shall be required for any modification of such agreement. 11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All agreements, representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or certificate or other documents delivered to Lender in connection therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All of the terms, representations, warranties and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to and be enforceable by and against the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. 11.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and each executed copy shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.


 
-69- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 11.6. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement or portion of such provision, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the remainder of such provision and the application thereof to other Persons or circumstances (other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable) shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 11.7. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts wherein it is executed and delivered by Lender and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said Commonwealth without giving effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof. Each Loan Party hereby submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts or any state court sitting in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts in connection with any action, suit or proceeding Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document and any other related matter concerning the relationship of Lender and the Loan Parties; provided, that nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any Limited Guarantor or their properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any of its rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to service of process in any such suit being made upon it by mail in accordance with Section 11.11 herein. 11.8. Jury Waiver. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN. 11.9. Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience and shall not modify, define, limit or expand the express provisions of this Agreement. 11.10. Inspection. Subject to any restrictions in the Applicable Marijuana Laws, Lender and its agents shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice to a Borrower-Agent (except in the case of an emergency or during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, in which case no prior notice shall be required) to inspect any Mortgaged Property, the other Collateral and all books and records pertaining thereto, including, without implied limitations, pursuant to the terms of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, as well as to review and/or audit any accounts, books and records (subject to applicable confidentiality laws or requirements any Applicable Marijuana Laws) relating to or affecting any Mortgaged Property or other Collateral which are maintained by any Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ employees, officers or agents (including, without limitation, accountants) and, in


 
-70- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 connection with such review and audit, to make copies of all such accounts, records and books and to discuss the same with the Loan Parties’ officers, employees and agents (including, without limitation, accountants). Provided that there does not exist an Event or Default or other condition or situation which Lender reasonably believes to constitute an emergency, Lender shall use its best efforts to complete such inspection, review or audit with minimal disruption of or interference to the operations of the Loan Parties and any Mortgaged Property, each Loan Party agreeing that in the case of any review or audit to assemble and make available to Lender and its agents all accounts, books and records at its principal place of business.

Defeasance. Upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations at a time when the Borrowers have no right to any future extension of credit under the Loan Documents, (a) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and (b) upon the request of the Loan Parties and at their expense, the Lender shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to evidence termination of its security interests in the Collateral. 11.13.

-72- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 disbursements of counsel) and all applicable taxes to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject arising out of, or in connection with, (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any of the Indemnified Parties is a party thereto, and (iii) any other aspect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that such indemnification shall not be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non- appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Lender’s agreement to make Loans available to the Borrowers and the termination of this Agreement. 11.14. Conflicts. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any corresponding provision in any of the other Loan Documents, then the Loan Parties shall be bound by the more restrictive provision. To the extent possible, however, provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted to complement and supplement each other and the absence of any provision or portion thereof in one such Loan Document shall not be deemed to be an inconsistent provision with the other such Loan Document which contains such provisions or portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall there be deemed cumulative any rights of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents relative to applicable notice and cure periods. 11.15. Appointment of Borrower-Agents; Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability. (a) All Obligations, representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities set forth in the Loan Documents to which a Borrower is a party shall be joint and several. Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants that the Borrower-Agents provide valuable financial, management and administrative services for each Borrower, and each Borrower is Affiliates of one another, and therefore each Borrower has determined that it is advantageous and convenient for it to enter into this Agreement on a basis of joint and several liability and to designate as its agent to effect borrowings and other extensions of credit under this Agreement and to distribute the proceeds of borrowings to it, and each Borrower, by entering into this Agreement, desires and intends to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement. Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. (b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each Borrower-Agent as its agent to effect borrowings, obtain other extensions of credit and to execute instruments and documents and take other actions in the name, or on behalf of, but not as a lender to, each Borrower, as provided


 
-73- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 or contemplated in this Agreement. Each Borrower represents and covenants that all requests for advances under this Agreement shall be made solely by either Borrower-Agent as agent for each Borrower, and that the authority of a Borrower-Agent so to request advances on behalf of, and to bind, each Borrower, shall continue unless and until (i) the Lender actually receives written notice of the termination of such authority signed by an authorized officer each Borrower, (ii) this Agreement has been terminated, and (iii) all Obligations of the Borrowers have been paid or otherwise satisfied. In performing its duties under this appointment, a Borrower-Agent shall be acting solely as a conduit for money transfers between the Lender and the Borrower, and a Borrower-Agent shall not make, nor shall it be construed as making, any loans or advances of money under this Agreement to any Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with any Borrower-Agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party agrees that any communication or delivery by or to either Borrower Agent, and action, omission or undertaking by either Borrower-Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party. (c) Each Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that any advances which may be made by the Lender under the credit facilities provided under this Agreement may be made directly to either Borrower-Agent for use only by each Borrower (subject to the limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower acknowledges that it shall be directly indebted to the Lender for each Advance distributed to it by a Borrower-Agent as if each such Advance had been made directly to such Borrower which received such proceeds (whether or not the subject advance was based upon the Collateral of such Borrower which actually received such Advance), in addition to which the other Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated to the Lender in that amount. (d) The Lender shall have no responsibility to inquire as to the distribution of any Loan advances made by the Lender through a Borrower-Agent as described herein. The provisions of this Section 11.15 are made for the benefit of the Lender and its respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lender, or its successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. (e) The Borrower-Agents and each Borrower agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend, and to hold the Lender and its affiliate and its designee harmless from and against any liability, claim, demand, expense, or loss made against the Lender or its affiliates and/or its designees on account of, or arising out of, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the Lender or its affiliates and/or its designee’s reliance upon loan requests


 
-74- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 submitted by a Borrower-Agent and any other action taken by the Lender or its affiliate and/or its designee hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement with a Borrower- Agent and/or any Borrower and/or any other Person, other than for claims based solely on Lender’s gross negligence and willful misconduct. (f) Until the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement has been terminated, each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Loan Party with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Any claim which any Loan Party may have against any other Loan Party with respect to any payments to the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior Payment in Full of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Loan Party, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be Paid in Full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Loan Party therefor. (g) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that, the payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness owing by any Loan Party to any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated to the prior Payment in Full of the Obligations. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Loan Party will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Loan Party owing to such Loan Party until the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Loan Party shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Loan Party as trustee for the Lender, and such Loan Party shall deliver any such amounts to the Lender, for application to the Obligations. 11.16. Rock Rose Compassionate Care, LLC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, including the Security Agreement or any Guaranty, shall become effective with respect to Rock Rose Compassionate Care, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Rock Rose”) until such entity obtains the necessary Permits to operate as a marijuana cultivator, product manufacturer, or retail facility, as applicable, in the State of Texas (the “Specified Date”). On the Specified Date, Rock Rose shall execute a joinder to this Agreement, a Guaranty, a Security Agreement and such other Loan Documents necessary to join Rock Rose as a Guarantor to the Loan Documents and grant and perfect a first priority Lien in favor of Lender on its Property, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Any time following the Specified Date, the Lender is authorized to, and shall file a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement with respect to the Collateral of Rock Rose, and Rock Rose shall deliver to Lender such other documents or information as Lender may request in order to perfect the security interest granted by the Security Agreement and any other Loan Documents. To the extent Rock Rose does not obtain the aforementioned Permits and otherwise does not own any assets or conduct any operations, the Loan Parties may dissolve Rock Rose.


 
-75- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 11.17. Effect of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Original Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement. The Original Obligations shall continue in full force and effect, and the effectiveness of this Agreement shall not constitute an extinguishment, discharge, satisfaction, novation or repayment of the Original Obligations. Such Original Obligations, together with any and all additional Obligations incurred by any Loan Party under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, shall continue to be secured by, among other things, the applicable portions of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter acquired and wheresoever located, all as more specifically set forth in the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its obligations, liabilities, grants of security interests, pledges and the validity of all covenants by it contained in any and all Loan Documents, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by this Agreement and by the other Loan Documents delivered prior to the Closing Date. Any and all references in any Loan Document to the Original Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to refer to this Agreement. 12. CANNABIS LAWS 12.1. Each Borrower and Lender acknowledge that although certain Applicable Marijuana Laws have legalized the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of Cannabis, (a) the nature and scope of U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws may result in circumstances where activities permitted under Applicable Marijuana Laws, may contravene U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws and (b) engagement in Restricted Cannabis Activities may contravene U.S. Federal Cannabis Law. Accordingly, for the purpose hereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each representation, covenant and other provision hereof relating to compliance with Applicable Laws will be subject to the following: (i) engagement in any activity that is Permitted Cannabis Business, and in respect to which the applicable Governmental Authorities have agreed, or are bound by any future Applicable Laws, to forego or have otherwise suspended prosecution and/or enforcement of such U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be non-compliance with Applicable Laws; (ii) engagement in any Restricted Cannabis Activity will be deemed to be non-compliance with Applicable Laws; (iii) no party hereto shall have any right of rescission or amendment to this Agreement arising out of or relating to any non-compliance with U.S. Federal Cannabis Law to the extent that such non- compliance, and the remedies of Governmental Authorities associated with such non-compliance, exist as of the date of this Agreement, as determined in the Lender’s sole, but reasonable discretion, unless such non-compliance also constitutes a violation of Applicable Marijuana Laws; and (iv) no party shall seek to enforce the provisions hereof in federal court unless and until the parties have reasonably determined that the applicable state laws, rules and regulations are fully compliant with U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the parties to violate any provisions of Applicable Marijuana Laws or attending regulations, as applicable. 12.2. The grants of rights, powers and authorities herein or in any other Loan Document by the Borrowers as to access to the properties or books or records of the Borrowers or the exercise of any rights or remedies that may result in the Lender being considered an owner or person exercising control over the Borrowers may only be exercised to the extent that the Lender is acting in accordance with, and has obtained any approvals or permits required by, Applicable Marijuana


 
-76- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 Laws, and the Borrowers’ representations as to such grants and such exercise are made subject to Applicable Marijuana Laws and Lender’s compliance therewith. Therefore, to the extent that having or being vested in any such rights, powers or authorities pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether before or after an Event of Default) results in the Lender being required to obtain approval from Cannabis Authorities prior to possessing, being vested in or exercising such rights, then Lender must obtain such approval(s) and comply with Applicable Marijuana Laws prior to having or exercising such rights or powers, and the Borrowers shall cooperate with such efforts by the Lender and take all reasonable action necessary to obtain such approvals or compliance at any time that the Lender reasonably requests. THIS SECTION 12.2 WILL GOVERN NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY OR IN CONFLICT WITH ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES, REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT, TO THE BEST OF ITS KNOWLEDGE, THE INCURRENCE OF MONETARY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL UNDER THE LOAN.


 
-77- 170746.00003/154854032v.8 DOCUMENTS DO NOT VIOLATE ANY APPLICABLE MARIJUANA LAWS. [REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY]

FAQ

What did Curaleaf Holdings (CURLF) disclose about new debt in this filing?

Curaleaf disclosed a Fourth Supplemental Indenture establishing 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due February 18, 2029, with an initial aggregate principal amount of US$500,000,000. The document sets out interest, maturity, redemption, form, and guarantee provisions for this new series under its existing base indenture.

What are the key terms of Curaleaf’s 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2029?

The notes bear 11.50% annual interest, payable semi-annually each February 18 and August 18, starting August 18, 2026. They mature on February 18, 2029, are senior secured obligations under the indenture, initially total US$500,000,000 in principal, and may be supplemented by additional notes with identical core terms.

How large is Curaleaf’s new 2029 note issuance and in what currency?

Curaleaf’s Initial 2029 Notes total US$500,000,000 in aggregate principal, issued at US$1,000 per US$1,000 of principal. Both principal and interest are payable in United States dollars, reflecting a U.S. dollar-denominated financing structure under the Canadian-law governed indenture framework.

When and how can Curaleaf redeem the 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2029?

Before August 18, 2027, Curaleaf may redeem up to 35% of the notes at par plus 100% of the coupon, using net cash from qualifying equity offerings. From August 18, 2027 to February 17, 2028, it may redeem at 105.750%, and at 100.000% from February 18, 2028 onward, plus accrued interest.

Are Curaleaf’s 2029 notes subject to mandatory redemption or sinking funds?

The company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments on the 2029 notes. However, it may be required to offer to purchase the notes in certain situations described in the underlying indenture covenants, such as specified change-of-control or asset sale scenarios affecting noteholders’ protection.

Do Curaleaf’s 11.50% 2029 notes carry guarantees or security?

The filing confirms the notes are Senior Secured Notes under the existing indenture structure, with Odyssey Trust Company acting as trustee, registrar, paying agent and collateral trustee. Curaleaf also confirms existing guarantees under Section 13.2 of the indenture apply to the 2029 Notes issued under this Fourth Supplemental Indenture.

Can Curaleaf issue additional 2029 notes beyond the initial US$500 million?

Yes. The aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes under the indenture is unlimited, though the initial issuance on the Issue Date is capped at US$500,000,000. Curaleaf may later issue Additional 2029 Notes with the same terms, subject to indenture conditions and potential separate CUSIP numbers if not fungible for U.S. tax purposes.
