[“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(2) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

 

(3) provided that if (i) the Benchmark Replacement cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) above as of the Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) the Calculation Agent or its designee shall have determined that the ISDA Fallback Rate determined in accordance with clause (2) above is not an industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, then the Benchmark Replacement shall be the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Calculation Agent or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;]

The Trust Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Trust Indenture without Noteholders consent.

 

THIS NOTE, THE TRUST INDENTURE AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THE LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.

The provisions of this Note are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of the Trust Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. Reference to the Trust Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture is hereby made for a description of the terms and conditions of the Notes, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Trust Indenture and such instruments supplemental thereto were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the Noteholder, by acceptance hereof, assents.

 

The Trust Indenture contains provisions for the holding of meetings of Noteholders (and rendering resolutions passed at such meetings and instruments in writing signed by the holders of a specified percentage of Notes outstanding) binding upon all Noteholders, subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture.

 

The Issuer Trustee has entered into the Trust Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture and issued this Note in its capacity as trustee of the Trust and not in its personal capacity. The liability of the Issuer Trustee hereunder and under the Trust Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture is limited to the assets of the Trust.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the Record Date or as of such other date as may be specified in the Trust Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Trust, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trust and the rights of Noteholders under the Trust Indenture at any time by the Trust with the consent of the Noteholders representing specified percentages of Notes outstanding on behalf of all Noteholders, and to waive compliance by the Trust with certain provisions of the Trust Indenture and certain past defaults under the Trust Indenture and their consequences. The Trust Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Trust Indenture without Noteholders consent.

 

THIS NOTE, THE TRUST INDENTURE AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THE LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.

 

The Noteholder by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Trust Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, such Noteholder shall have no claim against the Trust, the Issuer Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Trust for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Trust Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture or in this Note.

[For transfer of Rule 144A Notes: In connection with the attached Notes, which are being transferred in accordance with Rule 144A, such transfer is being made only to a person that the Transferor reasonably believes is a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a "QIB") who is either purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, whom the Transferor has informed, that the reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.]

 

[For transfer of Regulation S Notes: In connection with the attached Notes, which are being transferred in accordance with Regulation S, the undersigned Transferor (a) acknowledges that the transfer of the Notes to which this certification relates is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and (b) certifies that (i) it is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) of Golden Credit Card Trust, (ii) the offer of the securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States or (B) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of a “designated offshore securities market” (as such term is defined in Regulation S), and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (iii) neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on any of their behalf has engaged or will engage in any “directed selling efforts” (as such term is defined in Regulation S) in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of the securities, (iv) the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of washing off the resale restrictions imposed because the securities are “restricted securities” (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act), (v) the seller does not intend to replace the securities sold in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S with fungible unrestricted securities, and (vi) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act.]
