(b) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of any Series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
Section 4.02 Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption.
(a) The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby authorizes and directs the U.S. Trustee to enter into an escrow agreement (the Escrow Agreement) with the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent (the Escrow Agent) and securities intermediary, pursuant to which the initial purchasers will deposit the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers discount (such amount, together with any other property from time to time held by the Escrow Agent in the
7
Escrow Account (as hereinafter defined), the Escrowed Property), into a segregated escrow account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (the Escrow Account). In the Escrow Agreement, the Issuer will grant to the U.S. Trustee, for the sole and exclusive benefit of the U.S. Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, a first-priority security interest in and lien on the Escrow Account and all amounts on deposit therein to secure payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price and obligations and indebtedness of the Issuer under the Indenture in respect of the Notes, which shall automatically be released and terminate upon disbursement of the property in the Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
(b) The Escrow Agreement provides that the Issuer will only be entitled to direct the Escrow Agent to release the funds held in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will release funds held in the Escrow Account to, or for the account of, the Issuer upon delivery by the Issuer to the Escrow Agent and the U.S. Trustee of an Officers Certificate addressed to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on March 31, 2025, certifying that the Completion of the Transaction Condition has been satisfied. The Issuer will also deliver to the U.S. Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the conditions to such release of funds from the Escrow Account are permitted by the Indenture.
(c) If, at the time of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Completion of the Transaction Condition has not been satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any Series outstanding on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price. If at the time of such Special Mandatory Redemption Event the aggregate value of the Escrowed Property is less than the amount required to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for all of the Notes plus the fees and expenses of the Trustees and the Escrow Agent, the Issuer or the Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Escrow Account the amount by which the Special Mandatory Redemption Price exceeds the amount of the Escrowed Property, plus fees and expenses of the Trustees and the Escrow Agent. Solely to the extent that such amount is not funded by the Issuer or the Guarantors, TCPL shall be required to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to such shortfall so that the Escrow Account shall be sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for all of the Notes. Upon the release of the Escrowed Property to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement following the satisfaction of the Completion of the Transaction Condition, TCPLs obligation to fund any such shortfall amount pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) shall terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall not be required to effect a special mandatory redemption pursuant to this Section 4.02 (a Special Mandatory Redemption) following the satisfaction of the Completion of the Transaction Condition that occurs prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Event.

(e) Upon the deposit of funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date with the Paying Agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the rights of each holder of record of the Notes to receive interest on the Notes and all other rights of such holders under the Notes shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date).
(f) The notice of a Special Mandatory Redemption shall state:
(i) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date;
8
(ii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Price with respect to each Series of Notes;
(iii) that on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Special Mandatory Redemption Price shall become due and payable; and
(iv) that, upon the deposit of funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date with the Paying Agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the rights of each holder of record of the Notes to receive interest on the Notes and all other rights of such holders under the Notes shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date).
(g) The Trustees shall have no responsibility for any calculation or determination in respect of the Special Mandatory Redemption Event or the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, or any component thereof, and shall be entitled to receive, and fully-protected in relying upon, an Officers Certificate from the Issuer that states the occurrence of such Special Mandatory Redemption Event and such Special Mandatory Redemption Price.
(h) For purposes of this Section 4.02, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

A-5
other document required by Section 2.2. The U.S. Trustee will promptly register any such transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the U.S. Trustee for the purpose; provided that (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until the transfer or exchange is registered in such register and (y) the U.S. Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption, that portion of any Note not being redeemed, or (iii) if a redemption is to occur after a regular record date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustees and their agents will treat the person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.
From time to time the Issuer will execute and the U.S. Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.
No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to paragraph (b)(4)).
(e) Procedures to Be Followed by the U.S. Trustee. (1) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the U.S. Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
(2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the U.S. Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable.
(3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the U.S. Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
(4) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the U.S. Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an
A-6
exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

6.176% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2054
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other debt instruments of the Issuer (herein called the Securities), issued and to be issued in one or more Series under an Indenture dated as of August 1, 2023 (the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 14, 2024 (the Second Supplemental Indenture) and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 28, 2024 (the Third Supplemental Indenture, and, together with the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indentures, the Indenture), among the Issuer, 15142083 Canada Ltd., South Bow Canadian Infrastructure Holdings Ltd., BNY Trust Company of Canada, a trust company existing under the laws of Canada, as the Canadian trustee (the Canadian Trustee), The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as the United States trustee (the U.S. Trustee) (the Canadian Trustee and the U.S. Trustee are each also individually referred to herein as a Trustee and collectively, as the Trustees, which terms include any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and, solely for purposes of Sections 2.02, 4.02, 7.01 and 7.03 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, TransCanada PipeLines Limited, to which Indenture and any other supplemental indenture thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors the Trustees, and the Holders of the Securities, the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered, and the definition of capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein. The Securities may be issued in one or more Series, which different Series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may be denominated in different currencies, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates (which rates may be fixed or variable), may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase, or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default, and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a Series of Securities of the Issuer designated as set forth on the face hereof (herein called the Notes), issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of $700,000,000.
Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or any earlier repayment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest and/or principal that would otherwise be payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day. No interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or earlier repayment date, as the case may be, to the date payment is made. Interest on the Notes will be compounded and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, prior to April 1, 2054 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the Par Call Date), at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
Ex-C-6
If, at the time of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Completion of the Transaction Condition has not been satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each Series under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series to be affected by such amendment or modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series to be affected by such waiver, on behalf of the Holders of Securities of such Series, to waive compliance by the Issuer or the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantee, as applicable, with respect to such Series. Once effective, any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by Holders of Securities with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the principal amount hereof may become immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and by all other Notes of this Series now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct senior unsecured obligation of the Issuer.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Security register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Guarantors duly executed, by the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Issuer shall execute, and the U.S. Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by the Indenture. The Guarantors shall cause to be endorsed on any such new Note a Guarantee executed by the Guarantors.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note may be exchanged for other Securities of the same Series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Issuer.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration or transfer or exchange, but the Issuer, the Guarantors or the U.S. Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
Ex-C-7
Prior to the presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustees and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustees may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the Security register as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustees, nor any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustees shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Issuer may, without the consent of the existing holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes of this Series having the same terms (except the issue date, the date from which interest accrues and, in some cases, the first interest payment date) so that existing Notes and additional Notes form the same series under the Indenture, provided, however, that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.
This Note shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
