The Corporation will cause to be kept by and at the principal office of the Trustee in Toronto, or at such other place or places (if any) as the Corporation may designate with the approval of the Trustee by the Trustee or such other registrars as the Corporation may appoint or at such other place or places (if any) as may be specified in any Supplemental Indenture, registers (the registers maintained for such purposes in such office and at such place or places being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Register") in which will be entered the names and latest known addresses of the holders of Debentures and the particulars of the Debentures held by them and notations as to whether such Debentures have been redeemed or otherwise paid or cancelled and in the case of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Debentures, whether such Debentures have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Debentures, the Trustee will note in the Register the Debenture so replaced and the Debenture issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Debentures, the Trustee will note in the Register the Debenture so cancelled and the date on which such Debenture was cancelled. Such registration will be noted on the Debentures by the Trustee or other registrar. The holder of a Debenture may, at any time and from time to time, have such Debenture transferred at the Trustee's principal office in Toronto or at any other registrar's principal office but no transfer of a Debenture will be valid or effective as against the Corporation unless made on the Register by the registered holder or holder's executors or administrators or other legal representatives or its or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Trustee, upon compliance with such requirements as the Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe, and unless such transfer has been duly noted on such Debenture by the Trustee or other registrar.

        (b)   The Register will be open at all reasonable times for inspection by the Corporation, by the Trustee and by any holder of Debentures.

23


        (c)   The Trustee and/or any registrar for any of the Debentures and/or the Corporation will not be charged with notice of or be bound to see the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or constructive, in respect of any Debenture and may transfer any Debenture on the direction of the holder thereof, whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that Person were the beneficial owner thereof.

        (d)   The Trustee, upon request by the Corporation, will furnish the Corporation with a list of the names and addresses of the holders of Debentures showing the principal amounts and serial numbers of such Debentures held by each holder.

2.9   Payment of Debentures

        (a)   The Person in whose name any Debentures are registered will be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise required by law, and payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on such Debentures will be made only to or upon the order in writing of the holder thereof and such payment will be a good and sufficient discharge to the Trustee and any registrar and to the Corporation and any Paying Agent Bank for the amounts so paid.

        (b)   Principal and interest, if any, on any Series shall become due on the date specified for the payment thereof in this Indenture. Principal and interest with respect to any Series shall be payable in the currency specified in this Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series and except as provided in Section 2.9, as the interest on Debentures becomes due (except interest payable at maturity or on redemption which will be paid upon presentation and surrender of the Debentures for payment), the Corporation, at least three Business Days prior to each interest payment date, will forward or cause to be forwarded by prepaid post (or if mail service is interrupted, by any other means the Corporation and the Trustee deem appropriate), to the holder for the time being, at its address appearing on the appropriate register, or in the case of joint holders, to the holder whose name appears first on such register, a cheque for such interest (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) payable to the order of such holder or holders and negotiable at par at each of the places at which interest upon the Debentures is payable, at the option of the holder. The forwarding of such cheque will satisfy and discharge the liability for the interest on the Debentures to the extent of the sums represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted or withheld as aforesaid) unless such cheque is not paid on presentation; provided that in the event of the non-receipt of such cheque by the holder, or the loss or destruction thereof, the Corporation on being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and with indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, will issue to such holder a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque.

    (i)
    If directed by the holder of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount of $1 million or more, the Corporation, on each interest payment date, will wire transfer or cause to be wire transferred in immediately available funds the interest payable on that date (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) to an account maintained by the holder with any bank in Toronto. Any such direction must be in writing and must be received by the Corporation and the Trustee at least 15 Business Days before the relevant interest payment date and must contain sufficient particulars to enable the Corporation to complete such wire transfer.

24


    (ii)
    In the case of one or more Global Debentures held by a Depository or its nominee, the Corporation, on each interest payment date, will wire transfer in immediately available funds the interest payable on that date (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) to the account of such Depository or nominee in accordance with such Depository's normal procedures or otherwise as directed by such Depository.

        (c)   Any payment of principal, whether at maturity or on redemption, or otherwise, or interest due at maturity or on redemption or otherwise, in respect of Debentures, will be made against presentation and surrender of the Debentures at the principal office of the Trustee in Toronto or at the principal office of the Paying Agent Bank for such Debentures.

        (d)   Subject to the other terms of this Indenture, the Debentures will be repaid on the Stated Maturity Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to but excluding the Stated Maturity Date.

        (e)   Where Debentures are registered in more than one name the principal and interest from time to time payable in respect thereof may be made to the order of all such holders, failing written instructions from them to the contrary, and such payment will be a valid discharge to the Trustee, any registrar, any Paying Agent Bank and to the Corporation.

2.10 Replacement of Debentures

        (a)   In case any Debenture becomes mutilated or defaced or is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation, subject to Section 2.10(b) and to applicable laws and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Debentures are listed for the time being, will issue, and thereupon the Trustee will certify and deliver, a new Debenture upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Debenture, or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, in lieu of and in substitution for the same, and the substituted Debenture will be in a form approved by the Trustee and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally with all other Debentures without preference or priority one over another.

        (b)   The applicant for a new Debenture shall bear the cost of issue thereof and in case of loss, theft or destruction, must furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such evidence of such loss, theft or destruction as will be satisfactory to them in their discretion and must also furnish an indemnity satisfactory to them in their discretion and pay all expenses incidental to the issuance of such substituted Debenture.

2.11 Exchanges of Debentures

        (a)   Debentures of each Series of any denomination may be exchanged for Debentures of such Series in similar form of equal aggregate principal amount of any other authorized denomination or denominations. All Debentures presented for exchange must be surrendered to the Trustee or any other registrar and cancelled by it. Exchanges of Debentures will be made only at the principal offices of the Trustee in Toronto on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Trustee.

25


        (b)   Debentures issued in exchange for Debentures which at the time of such issue have been selected or called for redemption at a later date will be deemed to have been selected or called for redemption in the same manner and will have noted thereon a statement to that effect.

        (c)   Subject to Section 2.11(d), in every case of exchange of Debentures of any denomination for Debentures of any other authorized denomination and for any transfer of Debentures, the Trustee or other registrar may make a sufficient charge to reimburse it for any stamp tax or other governmental charge required to be paid and, in addition, a reasonable charge for its services for each Debenture exchanged or transferred and a reasonable charge for every Debenture issued upon such exchange or transfer, and payment of these charges will be made by the party requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent thereto.

        (d)   None of the Trustee, the Corporation or any other registrar will charge any holder (except for the cost of insuring any Debenture which is sent by mail or courier) for any exchange, registration or transfer of Debentures applied for within a period of 21 days from the date of original issue thereof or for any exchange of Debentures after such period pursuant to Section 3.3.

        (e)   Neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any registrar will be required (i) to make any exchanges of Debentures on any interest payment date and for a period of 15 Business Days preceding any interest payment date or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Debentures on the day of any selection by the Trustee of any Debentures to be redeemed or during the 15 Business Days preceding any such date.

2.12 Persons Entitled to Payment

        Except in respect of equities of which the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) the Person shown as the holder of a Debenture on the Debenture Register will be entitled to the principal and interest evidenced by that Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof; and (b) a transferee of a Debenture will, after the appropriate form of transfer is lodged with the Trustee or other registrar and upon compliance with all other conditions in that behalf required by this Indenture or by any conditions contained in such Debenture or by applicable law or stock exchange rule, be entitled to be entered on the Register or on any one of the appropriate registers as the owner of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and its transferor or any previous holder thereof, and all Persons may act accordingly.

2.13 Paying Agent Bank

        The Corporation, at its option, may from time to time appoint one or more Paying Agent Banks and terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent Bank in respect of any Series of Debentures.

26


2.14 Computation of Interest

        Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year. Each rate of interest which is calculated with reference to a period (the "deemed interest period") that is less than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to a rate based on a calendar year calculated by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing by the number of days in the deemed interest period.


ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION OF DEBENTURES

3.1   Redemption of Debentures

        Debentures of any Series may be subject to redemption prior to their Stated Maturity Date at such times, to the extent and in the manner provided herein including in any Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance thereof. Debentures of any Series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity Date shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and in accordance with Sections 3.2 to 3.7.

3.2   Election to Redeem

        The right of the Corporation to elect to redeem any Debentures of any Series shall be set forth, in the case of the Series 1 Debentures, herein and, in the case of any other Series, if any, in the Supplemental Indenture authorizing such Series. In the case of any redemption of Debentures (a) prior to the expiration of any applicable restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debentures in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Corporation that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Debentures, the Corporation shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

3.3   Partial Redemption of Debentures

        (a)   Unless otherwise specified herein or in the applicable Supplemental Indenture, if less than all the Outstanding Debentures of any Series are to be redeemed, the Corporation will in each such case, at least 15 Business Days before the date on which the notice of redemption is required to be given, notify the Trustee in writing of its intention to redeem Debentures of such Series and of the aggregate principal amount of such Debentures so to be redeemed. The Debentures so to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis or in any other manner as the Trustee, acting reasonably, may consider equitable. The Trustee may make regulations for this purpose and any regulations so made will be binding on all holders of Debentures.

        (b)   Debentures of denominations in excess of $1,000 may be selected and called for redemption in part only (such part being an integral multiple of $1,000) and, unless the context otherwise requires, references to Debentures in this Article will be deemed to include any such part of the principal amount of Debentures which have been so selected and called for redemption. The holder of any Debenture called for redemption in part only, upon surrender of such Debenture for payment, will be entitled to receive, as contemplated by Section 2.11, without expense to such holder, one or more new Debentures for the unredeemed part of the Debenture so surrendered, and the Trustee will certify and deliver such new Debenture or Debentures upon receipt of the Debentures so surrendered.

27


3.4   Notice of Redemption

        Notice of redemption of any Debentures prior to the Stated Maturity Date will be given by or on behalf of the Corporation to the holders of Debentures of the Series which are to be redeemed, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, in the manner provided in Article 11 (such notice, the "Redemption Notice"). Unless all the Debentures of such Series then Outstanding are to be redeemed, every Redemption Notice will state the designated numbers of the Debentures so called for redemption and, in case a Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, that part of the principal amount thereof so to be redeemed. Any Redemption Notice will specify the provision of this Indenture pursuant to which such redemption is being effected, the redemption date, the redemption price and place of payment and will state that all interest thereon will cease from and after such redemption date.

3.5   Debentures Due on Redemption Dates

        (a)   All Debentures so called for redemption will thereupon be and become due and payable at the redemption price (which, unless otherwise specified herein or in the applicable Supplemental Indenture, shall be the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest), on the redemption date specified in the Redemption Notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if such date were the Stated Maturity Date and from and after such redemption date, if the money necessary to redeem such Debentures has been deposited as hereinafter provided and affidavits or other proof satisfactory to the Trustee as to the giving of such notices have been lodged with it, such Debentures will not be considered as Outstanding hereunder and interest upon such Debentures will cease to accrue.

        (b)   In case any question arises as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and any such deposit made, such question will be decided by the Trustee whose decision will be final and binding upon all parties in interest.

3.6   Deposit of Redemption Monies

        Upon Debentures having been called for redemption as previously provided, and subject to the provisions of Article 5, the Corporation will deposit with the Trustee or with any applicable Paying Agent Bank to the order of the Trustee, on or before the redemption date fixed in the Redemption Notice, such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Debentures so to be redeemed (the "Redemption Amount"). From the amounts so deposited the Trustee will pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures so called for redemption, upon surrender of such Debentures, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest to which holders are entitled on redemption.

28


3.7   Failure to Surrender Debentures Called for Redemption

        If the holder of any Debenture called for redemption fails to surrender such holder's Debentures within 30 days from the date fixed for redemption or does not within such time accept payment of the redemption money payable in respect thereof or give a receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such redemption money may be set aside in trust for such holder (at such rate of interest on such redemption money as the depository with respect to such trust may allow, which interest shall be for the Corporation's account), either with the Trustee or any applicable Paying Agent Bank, and such setting aside will for all purposes be deemed to be a payment to the holder of the redemption money and to that extent the holder will have no right except to receive payment out of the redemption money so deposited, upon surrender and delivery of the Debenture or Debentures, of the redemption price (without interest since the date specified for redemption) of such Debenture or Debentures subject always to the provisions of Section 8.3.

3.8   Purchase of Debentures

        At any time when the Corporation is not in default hereunder, it may purchase all or any of the Debentures for cancellation in the market (which will include purchases from or through an investment dealer or a firm holding membership on a recognized stock exchange) or by tender or by private agreement.

3.9   Surrender of Debentures for Cancellation

        The Corporation will deliver to the Trustee for cancellation by it all Debentures redeemed or purchased by the Corporation under this Article and, subject to Section 3.3, no Debentures will be issued in substitution therefor, nor may such Debentures be reissued or resold.


ARTICLE 4
DEFEASANCE

4.1   Corporation's Option to Effect Defeasance

        The provisions of this Article 4 shall apply to the Debentures except as may be provided otherwise by a Supplemental Indenture in respect of a particular Series, and the Corporation may, at its option, effect defeasance of a Series under Section 4.2, in accordance with the terms of such Debentures and in accordance with this Article 4.

29


4.2   Defeasance and Discharge

        Upon the Corporation's exercise of the option in Section 4.1 with respect to a Series, the Corporation shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Debentures of such Series on the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Corporation shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Series of Outstanding Debentures, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 4.4 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Series and this Indenture insofar as such Debentures are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Corporation, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of holders of such Series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 4.3 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and interest on such Series when such payments are due, (B) the Corporation's obligations with respect to such Series under Sections 2.2(b), 2.6(c), 2.8, 2.10 and 8.3 and with respect to the Trustee under Section 6.3, in each case to the extent applicable to the Series, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article 4.

4.3   Conditions to Defeasance

        The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 4.2 to any Outstanding Debentures of a Series:

    (a)
    the Corporation shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the holders of such Debentures, (A) an amount (in such currency in which such Debentures and any related interest payments are then specified as payable), or (B) Government Obligations (denominated in the currency in which such Debentures are payable) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms shall provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment of principal and interest, if any, under such Debentures, an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, (i) all the principal of and interest on, such Outstanding Debentures on the Stated Maturity Date or date of redemption, if applicable, of such principal or interest or instalment of interest, if any, for each interest payment date and (ii) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.3; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to said payments with respect to such Debentures. Before such a deposit, the Corporation may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.4, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of such Outstanding Debentures at a future date in accordance with the terms of such Debentures and the applicable Supplemental Indenture, if any, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing;

    (b)
    no Event of Default with respect to such Series of Debentures shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections (c) and (d) of Section 7.1 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

30


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

    (d)
    the Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income tax or other tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and shall be subject to Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income tax and other tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case had such defeasance not occurred, or an advance ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency to the same effect in respect of federal income tax and confirmation from such Counsel that the relevant provincial and territorial income tax provisions are consistent with the federal provisions; and

    (e)
    the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance under this Section 4.3 have been complied with.

4.4   Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions

        Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.3 in respect of such Outstanding Debentures shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Debentures and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent Bank as the Trustee may determine, to the holders of such Debentures of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

        The Corporation shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.3 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the holders of such Outstanding Debentures.

        Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Corporation from time to time upon Corporation Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 4.3 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance in accordance with this Article.

31


4.5   Reinstatement

        If the Trustee or any Paying Agent Bank is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 4.4 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Corporation's obligations under this Indenture and such Debentures shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.3 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 4.4; provided, however, that if the Corporation makes any payment of principal of or interest on such Debentures following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank shall reimburse the Corporation for the amount of such payment and the Corporation shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Debentures to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank.


ARTICLE 5
SHARE PAYMENT ELECTION

5.1   Share Payment Election

        (a)   So long as No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, make a Share Payment Election with respect to its obligation to pay the aggregate principal amount to holders of any Series of Debentures on (i) the Stated Maturity Date or (ii) the redemption date specified in a Redemption Notice given in respect of such Series pursuant to Article 3. In connection with the Share Payment Election, the Trustee shall have the power to: (a) accept bids with respect to Class A Shares on behalf of the Corporation as the Corporation shall direct in its absolute discretion; (b) accept delivery of the Class A Shares from the Corporation required to consummate sales contemplated by bids so accepted (and consummate such sales as the Corporation shall direct in its sole discretion), plus cash in an amount equal to the value of any fractional Class A Share; (c) at the direction of the Corporation and subject to Section 5.1(e), invest the proceeds of such sales (together with any cash received from the Corporation in respect of any fractional Class A Share) in Government Obligations specified by the Corporation which mature prior to the applicable Stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be, and use the proceeds from the Government Obligations to pay such principal amount or Redemption Amount on the Stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be; and (d) perform any other action incidental thereto.

        (b)   The Corporation may make a Share Payment Election by delivering a Share Election Notice to the Trustee no later than the earlier of (i) the date required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Debentures are then listed; and either (ii) 15 days prior to the Stated Maturity Date to which the Share Payment Election relates or (iii) contemporaneously with the delivery of the Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 3.4 in the case of a Share Election Notice delivered in connection with a redemption of Debentures. The Trustee shall, in accordance with the Share Election Notice, deliver Share Bid Requests to investment banks, brokers, dealers or others selected by the Corporation in the Share Election Notice. The Share Election Notice shall provide for, and all such bids shall be subject to, the right of the Corporation, by delivering written notice to the Trustee at any time prior to the consummation of the delivery and sale of the Class A Shares on the Share Delivery Date, to withdraw the Share Payment Election (which shall have the effect of withdrawing the Share Bid Request), whereupon the Corporation shall be obligated to pay in cash all amounts payable on such Stated Maturity Date or redemption date as the case may be. Any sale of Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 5.1 may be made to one or more persons whose bids are solicited, but all such sales with respect to a particular Share Payment Election shall take place concurrently on the Share Delivery Date.

32


        (c)   The Trustee shall inform the Corporation promptly following receipt of any bid or bids for Class A Shares. The Trustee shall accept such bid or bids as the Corporation, in its absolute discretion, shall direct, provided that, the aggregate proceeds of all such sales on the Share Delivery Date must at least equal the Share Election Amount. In connection with any bids so accepted, the Corporation, the Trustee and the applicable bidders shall, not later than the Share Delivery Date, enter into a Share Purchase Agreement and shall comply with all applicable laws, including the securities laws each of the Provinces and territories of Canada and of the United States (and any state thereof), the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Class A Shares are then listed and the laws, rules and regulations of any jurisdiction in which the Class A Shares may be offered for sale. The Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the Share Purchase Agreements. The holders of Debentures shall not be required to pay any fees or expenses in connection with the Share Purchase Agreements.

        (d)   Provided that (a) all conditions specified in each Share Purchase Agreement to the closing of all sales thereunder have been satisfied, other than the delivery of the Class A Shares to be sold thereunder against payment of the Share Election Amount, and (b) the purchasers under the Share Purchase Agreements shall be ready, willing and able to perform thereunder, in each case on the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee the Class A Shares to be sold on such date, cash in an amount equal to the value of any fractional Class A Share and an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent to such sales, including those set forth in this Indenture and in each Share Purchase Agreement, have been satisfied. Upon such deliveries, the Trustee shall consummate such sales on such Share Delivery Date by the delivery of the Class A Shares to such purchasers against payment to the Trustee in immediately available funds of the purchase price therefor in an aggregate amount equal to the Share Election Amount, whereupon the sole right of a holder of Debentures to receive the principal amount thereof (including the principal amount forming part of the Redemption Amount) shall be to receive cash from the Trustee out of the proceeds of such sale of Class A Shares, plus any amount received by the Trustee from the Corporation in respect of any fractional Class A Share, in full satisfaction of the Corporation's obligation to pay such principal amount and the holder shall have no further recourse to the Corporation in respect of such entitlement.

        (e)   On the Share Delivery Date, the Trustee shall use the sale proceeds of the Class A Shares (together with any cash received from the Corporation in respect of any fractional Class A Share) to purchase, to the extent the Trustee is able to do so, Government Obligations specified by the Corporation, which mature prior to the applicable Stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be, and which the Trustee is required to hold until maturity, provided, however, that to the extent the Trustee is unable for any reason whatsoever to use such sale proceeds to purchase Government Obligations on such Share Delivery Date, the Trustee shall deposit such proceeds in the Property Account. The Trustee shall hold such Government Obligations under its exclusive control and shall hold such investments (but not income earned thereon) in an irrevocable trust for the benefit of the holders. One Business Day prior to the applicable Stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be, the Trustee shall deposit proceeds of the Government Obligations in the Property Account to bring the balance of the Property Account to the aggregate of the Share Election Amount and the value of any fractional Class A Share. On such Stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be, the Trustee shall apply the funds held in the Property Account to payment of the principal amount to the holders of record on the applicable record date and shall remit amounts, if any, in respect of income earned on the Government Obligations or otherwise in excess of the aggregate of the Share Election Amount and the value of any fractional Class A Share to the Corporation.

33


        (f)    The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and (on an after-tax basis) the holders and any Person who controls any holder within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any such Person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by or arising in connection with any Share Payment Election or any withdrawal thereof, except in each case for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities caused by any such Person's negligence or wilful misconduct. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph shall be unavailable to an indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to, then the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Corporation and such indemnified Person and any other equitable considerations.

        (g)   Neither the Corporation's making of a Share Payment Election nor the consummation of, or the failure to consummate, sales of Class A Shares on the Share Delivery Date shall (a) result in the holders not being entitled to receive on the applicable Stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be, cash in an aggregate amount equal to the principal amount or the principal amount forming part of the Redemption Amount, as the case may be, due on such date, or (b) entitle such holders to receive (i) cash in an aggregate amount greater than the amount to which such holders are otherwise entitled, or (ii) any Class A Shares in satisfaction of the Corporation's obligation to pay such principal amount or Redemption Amount, as the case may be. The Corporation's obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest on Debentures on the Stated Maturity Date or redemption date shall be unaffected by any Share Purchase Election made by the Corporation.


ARTICLE 6
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

        The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of Debentures as follows.

34


6.1   To Pay Principal and Interest

        Subject to Article 5, the Corporation will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid to every holder of Debentures or to the Trustee on behalf of every holder of Debentures the principal of and interest accrued on the Debentures on the dates, at the places, in the monies, and in the manner mentioned herein and in the Debentures.

6.2   To Carry on Business

        Subject to the provisions hereof, and except as otherwise contemplated by Article 9, the Corporation will carry on and conduct its business and will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

6.3   To Pay Trustee's Remuneration

        The Corporation will pay the Trustee reasonable remuneration for its services as Trustee hereunder and will repay to the Trustee on demand all monies which have been paid by the Trustee in the execution of the trusts hereby created with interest at the rate of interest set by the Trustee for its corporate client accounts, commencing 30 days after the request for payment until repayment, and such monies and the interest thereon, including the Trustee's remuneration, will be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Trustee in priority to the payment of any principal or interest on any of the Debentures. The Trustee's remuneration will continue to be payable until the trusts hereof are finally wound up and whether or not the trusts of this Indenture will be in course of administration by or under the direction of the court.

6.4   Not to Extend Time for Payment of Interest or Principal

        (a)   In order to prevent any accumulation after maturity of unpaid interest on or of unpaid principal of the Debentures, the Corporation, subject to Section 10.11, will not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of time for payment of any interest upon any Debenture or of any principal payable in respect of any Debenture and it will not directly or indirectly be or become a party to or approve any such arrangement; and the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee all Debentures when paid as evidence of such payment.

        (b)   In case the time for the payment of any such interest or principal is extended, then, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Debentures contained, the non-payment of such interest and/or principal will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in Section 7.1) hereunder unless and until the period of such extension has expired and such payment has not been effected except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all the Debentures and of all interest of such Debentures the payment of which has not been so extended.

6.5   Financial Statements

        The Corporation will furnish to the Trustee, (1) within 90 days (or such longer period as the Trustee in its discretion may consent to) after December 31, 2004 and after the end of each fiscal year thereafter, a copy of the consolidated financial statements and of the report of the Corporation's auditors thereon in the form furnished to the holders of Class A Shares. No obligation shall rest with the Trustee to analyze such statements, or to evaluate the performance of the Corporation as indicated therein, in any manner whatsoever.

35


6.6   Trustee May Perform Covenants

        If the Corporation fails to perform any covenant on its part herein contained, the Trustee may in its discretion, but (subject to Section 7.2) need not, notify the holders of Debentures of such failure or itself may perform any of the covenants capable of being performed by it and, if any such covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, it may make such payment or expenditure with its own funds, or with money borrowed by or advanced to it for such purpose, but will be under no obligation so to do; and all sums so expended or advanced will be repayable by the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 6.3, but no such performance or payment will be deemed to relieve the Corporation from any default hereunder.

6.7   Negative Pledge

        The Corporation will not, and covenants and agrees that each Designated Subsidiary shall not, create, grant, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its properties or assets or upon any of the property and assets of any Designated Subsidiary, other than Permitted Encumbrances.

6.8   Additional Debt Test

        The Corporation will not and will not permit any Designated Subsidiary to create, assume, incur or guarantee any additional Indebtedness unless, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional Indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of the Total Funded Debt of the Corporation and all of its Designated Subsidiaries considered on a consolidated basis does not exceed 50% of Total Capitalization.

6.9   Certificates of No Default

        Contemporaneously with the delivery of the yearly statements pursuant to Section 6.5 and at any other time if reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the Corporation has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this Indenture the non-compliance with which would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, or if such is not the case, specifying the covenant, condition or other requirement which has not been complied with and giving particulars of such non-compliance.


ARTICLE 7
DEFAULT

7.1   Acceleration of Maturity

        Upon the happening of any one or more of the following events ("Events of Default"):

36


    (a)
    if the Corporation defaults in payment of the principal of any Debenture when the same becomes due under the provisions hereof and the continuance of such default for a period of three days;

    (b)
    if the Corporation defaults in payment of any interest on any Debenture and any such default continues for a period of fifteen days after the same becomes due under the provisions hereof;

    (c)
    if an order shall be made and such order remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days or an effective resolution be passed for the winding-up or liquidation of the Corporation except in the course of carrying out or pursuant to a transaction in respect of which the conditions of Article 9 are duly observed and performed;

    (d)
    if the Corporation shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or a notice of intention to make a proposal or a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), or shall become insolvent or be declared or adjudged bankrupt, or a receiving order be made against the Corporation for any substantial part of the Corporation's property and assets having a replacement cost greater than US$50 million and such order remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days or if a liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, receiver and manager or any other officer with similar powers shall be appointed to the Corporation for any substantial part of the Corporation's property and assets having a replacement cost greater than US$50 million and such appointment shall not have been vested, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days, or if the Corporation shall propose a compromise, arrangement or reorganization under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or any other legislation of any jurisdiction providing for the reorganization or winding-up of corporations or business entities or providing for an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors or shall voluntarily suspend transaction of its usual business, or shall take corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing purposes;

    (e)
    if the Corporation or any Designated Subsidiary shall make default beyond any period of grace provided with respect thereto in the payment of the principal of, or part thereof, or interest or premium on any Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount in excess of US$50 million (other than intercorporate Indebtedness owed to another Designated Subsidiary or the Corporation, as the case may be) or in the performance or observance of any term, agreement or condition in respect of such Indebtedness (other than Debentures issued under this Indenture) and the effect of such default is to accelerate the payment of such Indebtedness or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder or holders) to accelerate the payment of such Indebtedness prior to the stated maturity thereof, and the Corporation hereby covenants with the Trustee that it will promptly advise the Trustee in writing upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any such default; provided, however, that if such default under such Indebtedness shall be remedied or cured by the Corporation or the Designated Subsidiary as the case may be or waived by the holder or holders of such Indebtedness within a ten day period, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any of the holders of Debentures;

37


    (f)
    if a final judgment or judgments (not subject to appeal) is or are rendered against the Corporation or any one or more of its Designated Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount in excess of US$50 million by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, which remains or remain undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right or rights to appeal has or have expired, as the case may be;

    (g)
    if the Corporation neglects to observe or perform any other covenant or condition herein contained on its part to be observed or performed and, after notice in writing has been given by the Trustee to the Corporation specifying such default and requiring the Corporation to put an end to the same (which notice may be given by the Trustee, in its discretion, and must be given by the Trustee upon receipt of a request in writing signed by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding), the Corporation fails to make good such default in all material respects within a period of 60 days, unless the Trustee (having regard to the subject matter of the default) has agreed to a longer period, and in such event, within the period agreed to by the Trustee;

        then in each and every such event the Trustee may in its discretion and will, upon receipt of a requisition in writing signed by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, by notice in writing to the Corporation declare the principal of and interest on all Debentures then Outstanding and all other monies outstanding hereunder to be due and payable and the same will forthwith become immediately due and payable to the Trustee, and the Corporation will forthwith pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of Debentures the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default on such Debentures, together with interest at the rate borne by the Debentures on such other monies from the date of the declaration until payment is received by the Trustee. Such payment when made will be deemed to have been made in discharge of the Corporation's obligations hereunder and any monies so received by the Trustee will be applied in the manner provided in Section 7.6.

7.2   Notice of Events of Default

        (a)   If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing the Trustee will, within 30 days after it becomes aware of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the holders of Debentures in the manner provided in Article 11, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to give such notice if the Trustee in good faith decides that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the holders of Debentures and has so advised the Corporation in writing.

38


        (b)   Where notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default has been given and the Event of Default is thereafter cured, notice that the Event of Default is no longer continuing will be given by the Trustee to the holders of Debentures in the manner provided in Article 11 within a reasonable time not exceeding 30 days after the Trustee becomes aware that the Event of Default has been cured.

7.3   Waiver of Default

        Upon the happening of any Event of Default and, for greater certainty, subject to Article 10:

    (a)
    the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding have the power (in addition to the powers exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution as hereinafter provided) by requisition in writing to instruct the Trustee to waive any default hereunder and/or cancel any declaration made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.1 and the Trustee will thereupon waive the default and/or cancel such declaration upon such terms and conditions as will be prescribed in such requisition; and

    (b)
    the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to declare the principal of and interest on the Debentures then Outstanding to be due and payable or to obtain or enforce payment of the same, has power to waive any default hereunder if, in the Trustee's opinion, the same has been cured in all material respects or adequate satisfaction or explanation made therefor, and in such event to cancel any such declaration previously made by the Trustee in the exercise of its discretion, upon such terms and conditions as to the Trustee may seem advisable;

provided that no act or omission either of the Trustee or of the holders of Debentures in the premises will extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent default hereunder or the rights resulting therefrom and provided further than any delay on the part of either of the Trustee or the holders of Debentures to act upon any Event of Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such default.

7.4   Enforcement by the Trustee

        (a)   Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 and to the provisions of any Extraordinary Resolution that may be passed by the holders of Debentures, in case the Corporation fails to pay to the Trustee, forthwith after the same has been declared to be due and payable under Section 7.1, the principal of and interest on all Debentures then Outstanding, together with any other amounts due hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion and will upon receipt of a request in writing signed by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its name as Trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce payment of the principal of and interest on all the Debentures then Outstanding together with any other amounts due hereunder by such proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by law or equity as the Trustee in such request has been directed to take, or if such request contains no such direction, or if the Trustee acts without such request, then by such proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by suit at law or in equity as the Trustee deems expedient.

39


        (b)   The Trustee will be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the holders of Debentures, or in any one or more of such capacities, to file such proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claim of the Trustee and of the holders of Debentures allowed in any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or its creditors or relative to or affecting its property. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective holders of Debentures by taking and holding the same will be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective holders of Debentures with authority to make and file in the respective names of the holders of Debentures or on behalf of the holders of Debentures as a class, subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the holders of Debentures themselves, any proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document in any such proceedings and to receive payment of any amounts becoming distributable on account thereof, and to execute any such other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all such acts and things for and on behalf of such holders of Debentures, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Trustee, in order to have the respective claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Debentures against the Corporation or its property allowed in any such proceedings, and to receive payment of or on account of such claims; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Indenture will be deemed to give to the Trustee, unless so authorized by Extraordinary Resolution, any right to accept or consent to any plan of reorganization or otherwise by action of any character in such proceeding to waive or change in any way any right of any holder of Debentures.

        (c)   The Trustee will also have the power at any time and from time to time to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may be advised are necessary or advisable to preserve and protect its interests and the interests of the holders of the Debentures.

        (d)   All rights of action hereunder may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Debentures or the production thereof at the trial or other proceedings relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee may be brought in the name of the Trustee as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment will be for the ratable benefit of the holders of Debentures subject to the provisions of this Indenture. In any proceeding brought by the Trustee (and also any proceeding in which a declaratory judgment of a court may be sought as to the interpretation or construction of any provision of this Indenture, to which the Trustee will be a party) the Trustee will be held to represent all the holders of Debentures, and it will not be necessary to make any holders of Debentures parties to any such proceeding.

7.5   Suits by Debenture Holders

        Subject to Section 12.1, no holder of any Debenture will have any right to institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the purpose of enforcing payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures or for the execution of any trust or power hereunder or for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver or for a receiving order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or to have the Corporation wound up or to file or prove a claim in any liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

40


    (a)
    such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of the happening of an Event of Default hereunder;

    (b)
    the holders of Debentures, by Extraordinary Resolution or by written instrument signed by at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding, have made a request to the Trustee and the Trustee will have been afforded reasonable opportunity either itself to proceed to exercise the powers granted to it or to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its name for such purpose;

    (c)
    the holders of Debentures or any of them have furnished to the Trustee, when so requested by the Trustee, sufficient funds and security and indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; and

    (d)
    the Trustee has failed to act within a reasonable time after such notification, request and offer of indemnity.

7.6   Application of Monies by Trustee

        Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any monies received by the Trustee from the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, or as a result of legal or other proceedings or from any trustee in bankruptcy or liquidator of the Corporation, will be applied, together with any other monies in the hands of the Trustee available for such purposes, as follows:

    (a)
    first, in payment or in reimbursement to the Trustee of its 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;

    (b)
    second, and as provided in this Section 7.6, in payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default on the Debentures which are then Outstanding in the priority of principal first and then accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default unless otherwise directed by Extraordinary Resolution and in that case in such order or priority as between principal and interest as may be directed by such resolution; and

    (c)
    third, in payment of the surplus, if any, of such monies to the Corporation or its successors or assigns;

provided, however, that no payment will be made pursuant to clause (b) in respect of the principal or interest of any Debenture held, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation (other than any Debenture pledged for value and in good faith to a Person other than the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation but only to the extent of such Person's interest therein) except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal and interest of all Debentures which are not so held.

41


7.7   Distribution of Proceeds

        Payments to holders of Debentures pursuant to Section 7.6(b) will be made as follows:

    (a)
    at least 15 Business Days' notice of every such payment will be given in the manner provided in Article 11 specifying the time when and the place or places where the Debentures are to be presented and the amount of the payment and the application thereof as between principal and interest;

    (b)
    payment of any Debenture will be made upon presentation thereof at any one of the places specified in such notice and any such Debenture thereby paid in full will be surrendered, unless a memorandum of such payment is endorsed thereon; but the Trustee may in its discretion dispense with presentation and surrender or endorsement in any case upon such indemnity being given as it deems sufficient;

    (c)
    from and after the date of payment specified in the notice, interest will accrue only on the amount owing on each Debenture after giving credit for the amount of the payment specified in such notice unless the Debenture in respect of which such amount is owing is duly presented on or after the date so specified and payment of such amount is not made; and

    (d)
    the Trustee will not be required to make any interim payment to holders of Debentures unless the monies in its hands, after reserving therefrom such amount as the Trustee may think necessary to provide for the payments mentioned in Section 7.6(a), exceed 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding.

7.8   Remedies Cumulative

        No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, or upon or to the holders of Debentures, is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy will be cumulative and will be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now existing or hereafter to exist by law or by statute.

7.9   Judgment Against the Corporation

        The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Trustee that, in case of any judicial or other proceedings to enforce the rights of the holders of Debentures, judgment may be rendered against it in favour of the holders of Debentures or in favour of the Trustee, as trustee for the holders of Debentures, for any amount which may remain due in respect of the Debentures and the interest thereon.

42


7.10 Immunity of Shareholders

        The holders of Debentures 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 incorporator, shareholder, director or officer of the Corporation or of any successor corporation (as defined in Section 9.1) for the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Debentures or for satisfaction with respect to any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Corporation herein or in the Debentures contained.

7.11 Control by Holders of Debentures

        Subject to the provisions of Article 12, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction and (c) the Trustee need not follow any such direction if doing so would in its reasonable discretion either involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to holders of Debentures not joining in such direction; provided, further, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination with respect to any such conflict, personal liability or undue prejudice.


ARTICLE 8
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

8.1   Cancellation and Destruction

    (e)
    the principal monies and/or the interest, as the case may be, in trust for the holder of such Debenture (at such rate of interest on such principal monies and/or interest as the depository with respect to such trust may allow, which interest will be for the Corporation's account) to be paid to the holder of such Debenture upon due presentation or surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; and thereupon the principal monies and/or the interest payable on or represented by each Debenture in respect whereof such monies have been set aside will be deemed to have been paid and the holder thereof will thereafter have no right in respect thereof except that of receiving payment of the monies so set aside by the Trustee (without interest thereon) upon due presentation and surrender thereof, subject always to the provisions of Section 8.3.

MEETINGS OF DEBENTURE HOLDERS

10.1 Right to Convene Meeting

        The Trustee may at any time and from time to time and will on receipt of a written request of the Corporation or a written request signed by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Corporation or by the holders of Debentures signing such request against the costs which may be incurred in connection with the calling and holding of such meeting, convene a meeting of the holders of Debentures. In the event of the Trustee failing within 30 days after receipt of any such request and such indemnity to give notice convening a meeting, the Corporation or such holders of Debentures, as the case may be, may convene such meeting. Every such meeting will be held in the City of Toronto, Ontario or at such other place as may be approved or determined by the Trustee.

46


10.2 Notice of Meetings

        At least 21 days' notice of any meeting shall be given to the holders of Debentures in the manner provided in Article 11 and a copy thereof shall be sent to the Trustee unless the meeting has been called by it and to the Corporation unless the meeting has been called by it. Such notice must state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and it will 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.

10.3 Chairman

        An individual, who need not be a holder of Debentures, nominated in writing by the Trustee will be the chairman of the meeting and if no person is so nominated or if the person so nominated is not present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, the holders of Debentures present in person or by proxy will choose some person present to be chairman.

10.4 Quorum

        Subject to Section 10.12 and 10.17 at any meeting of the holders of Debentures a quorum will consist of two or more holders of Debentures present in person or by proxy and representing at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the holders of Debentures or pursuant to a request of the holders of Debentures, will be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day in which case it will be adjourned to the next Business Day) at the same time and place and no notice will be required to be given in respect of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting the holders of Debentures present in person or by proxy will form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not represent 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures.

10.5 Power to Adjourn

        The chairman of any meeting at which a quorum is present may with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures represented thereat adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.

10.6 Show of Hands

        Every question submitted to a meeting will be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on Extraordinary Resolutions and Special Resolutions will be given in the manner hereinafter provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority will be conclusive evidence of the fact.

47


10.7 Poll

        On every Extraordinary Resolution and Special Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting when demanded by the chairman or by one or more holders of Debentures and/or proxies for holders of Debentures holding at least $5 million principal amount of Debentures, a poll shall be taken in such manner and either at once or after an adjournment, as the chairman directs. Questions other than Extraordinary Resolutions and Special Resolutions will, if a poll is taken, be decided by the votes of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures represented at the meeting and voted on the poll.

10.8 Voting

        On a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a holder of Debentures or as proxy for one or more holders of Debentures or both will have one vote. On a poll each holder of Debentures present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by an instrument in writing will be entitled to one vote in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures of which that person is then the holder. A proxy need not be a holder of Debentures. In the case of joint holders of a Debenture, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others; but in case more than one of them is present in person or by proxy, they must vote together in respect of the Debentures of which they are joint holders.

10.9 Regulations

        (a)   The Trustee or the Corporation, with the approval of the Trustee, may from time to time make and from time to time vary or restate such regulations as it from time to time thinks fit providing for and governing:

    (i)
    the voting by proxy by holders of Debentures and the form of instrument appointing proxies and the manner in which the same will be executed, and for the production of the authority of any person signing on behalf of the giver of such proxy;

    (ii)
    for the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at such place as the Trustee, the Corporation or the holders of Debentures 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

    (iii)
    for 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, telecopied, electronically transmitted or otherwise sent before the meeting to the Corporation 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.

48


        (b)   Any regulation so made will be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith will be valid and will be counted. Except as such regulations may provide, the only persons who will be recognized at any meeting as the holders of any Debentures, or as entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof, will be holders of Debentures and persons whom holders of Debentures have by instrument in writing furnished to the Trustee duly appointed as their proxies.

10.10 Corporation and Trustee may be Represented

        The Corporation and the Trustee, by their respective officers and directors, and the legal advisers of the Corporation and the Trustee, and the auditors of the Corporation may attend any meeting of the holders of Debentures, but will have no vote as such.

10.11 Powers Exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution

        In addition to the powers conferred upon them by Section 7.3 or other provisions of this Indenture or by law, a meeting of the holders of Debentures will have, subject to Sections 10.4, 10.7, 10.12, 10.17, 10.18 and 12.1, the following powers exercisable from time to time by Extraordinary Resolution:

    with the agreement of the Corporation, power to sanction any modification, abrogation, alteration, compromise or arrangement of the rights of the holders of Debentures and/or the Trustee against the Corporation, or against its property, whether such rights arise under this Indenture or the Debentures or otherwise;

    (b)
    power to assent to any modification of or change in or addition to or omission from the provisions contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures, which must be agreed to by the Corporation, and to authorize the Trustee to concur in and execute any indenture supplemental hereto embodying any modification, change, addition or omission;

    (c)
    power to sanction any scheme for the reconstruction or reorganization of the Corporation or for the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with any other corporation or for the sale, leasing, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the undertaking, property and assets of the Corporation or any part thereof, provided that no such sanction will be necessary in respect of any such transaction if Section 9.1 has been complied with;

    (d)
    power to direct or authorize the Trustee to exercise any power, right, remedy or authority given to it by this Indenture in any manner specified in any such extraordinary resolution or to refrain from exercising any such power, right, remedy or authority;

    (g)
    power to direct any holder of Debentures who, as such, has brought any action, suit or proceeding to stay or discontinue or otherwise deal with the same upon payment, if the taking of such suit, action or proceeding will have been permitted by Section 7.5, of the costs, charges and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by such holder of Debentures in connection therewith;

    (h)
    power to assent to any compromise or arrangement with any creditor or creditors or any class or classes of creditors, whether secured or otherwise, and with holders of any shares or other securities of the Corporation;

The resolution making such appointment may provide for payment of the expenses and disbursements of and compensation of such committee. Such committee will consist of such number of persons as is prescribed in the resolution appointing it and the members need not themselves be holders of Debentures. Every such committee may elect its chairman and may make regulations respecting its quorum, the calling of its meetings, the filling of vacancies occurring in its number and its procedure generally. Such regulations may provide that the committee may act at a meeting at which a quorum is present or may act by minutes signed by the number of members thereof necessary to constitute a quorum.

    (m)
    power to amend, alter or repeal any Extraordinary Resolution previously passed or sanctioned by the holders of Debentures or by any committee appointed pursuant to clause (i).

        Nothing in this Section 10.11 gives the holders of Debentures the power to unilaterally modify the rights and obligations of the Corporation under this Indenture.

10.12 Meanings of "Extraordinary Resolution" and "Special Resolution"

        (a)   "Extraordinary Resolution" when used in this Indenture means, subject as hereinafter in this Article provided, a resolution proposed to be passed as an extraordinary resolution at a meeting of holders of Debentures duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 at which the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding are present in person or by proxy and passed by the favourable votes of the holders of at least 662/3% of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures represented at the meeting and voted on a poll upon such resolution.

        (b)   "Special Resolution" when used in this Indenture means, subject as hereinafter in this Article 10 provided, a resolution proposed to be passed as a special resolution at a meeting of holders of Debentures duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article at which the holders of at least 95% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding are present in person or by proxy and passed by the favourable votes of the holders of at least 95% of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures Outstanding.

        (c)   If, at any such meeting, the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures Outstanding are not present in person or by proxy within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, then the meeting, if convened by or on the requisition of the holders of Debentures, will be dissolved; but in any other case it will stand adjourned to such date, being not less than 21 nor more than 60 days later, and to such place and time as may be appointed by the chairman. Not less than 14 days' notice will be given of the time and place of such adjourned meeting in the manner provided in Article 11. Such notice must state that at the adjourned meeting the holders of Debentures present in person or by proxy will form a quorum but it will not be necessary to set forth the purposes for which the meeting was originally called or any other particulars. At the adjourned meeting the holders of Debentures present in person or by proxy will form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened and a resolution proposed at such adjourned meeting and passed by the requisite vote as provided in Section (a) or (b) above will be an Extraordinary Resolution or Special Resolution, as the case may be, within the meaning of this Indenture, notwithstanding that the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding are not present in person or by proxy at such adjourned meeting.

51


10.13 Powers Cumulative

        It is hereby declared and agreed that any one or more of the powers and/or any combination of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercisable by the holders of Debentures by Extraordinary Resolution or otherwise may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers or any combination of powers from time to time will not be deemed to exhaust the rights of the holders of Debentures to exercise the same or any other such power or combination of powers thereafter from time to time.

10.14 Minutes

        Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting as aforesaid will 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 Corporation, and any such minutes as aforesaid, if signed by the chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings had, or by the chairman of the next succeeding meeting of the holders of Debentures, will 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 will have been made, will be deemed to have been duly held and convened, and all resolutions passed thereat or proceedings had thereat, to have been duly passed and had.

10.15 Instruments in Writing

        All actions which may be taken and all powers that may be exercised by the holders of Debentures at a meeting held as provided in this Article 10 may also be taken and exercised by the holders of a majority, 662/3% or 95%, as the case may be, of the aggregate principal amount of all the Outstanding Debentures by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts and the expressions "Extraordinary Resolution" and "Special Resolution" when used in this Indenture will include, respectively, an instrument so signed.

10.17 Series Approval

        (a)   If in the opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, any business to be transacted at any meeting, or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing under Section 10.15, does not adversely affect the rights of the holders of Debentures of one or more Series under this Indenture, the provisions of this Article 10 shall apply as if the Debentures of such Series were not Outstanding, including, without limitation, the definitions of "Extraordinary Resolution" and "Special Resolution", and no notice of any such meeting need be given to the holders of Debentures of such Series. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, a proposal to modify or terminate any covenant or agreement which by its terms is effective only so long as Debentures of a particular Series are Outstanding or which is enacted for the exclusive benefit of the holders of Debentures of one or more particular Series or which affects the terms of repayment of only one or more particular Series or the sinking fund reserve established for the benefit of one Series shall be deemed not to adversely affect the right of the holders of Debentures of any other Series.

52


        (b)   If in the opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, any business to be transacted at a meeting of holders of Debentures, or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing under Section 10.15 would affect the rights of the holders of Debentures of one or more Series under this Indenture in a manner different from the holders of Debentures of any other Series (as to which such Counsel's opinion shall be binding on all holders of Debentures, the Trustee and the Corporation for all purposes hereof) then:

      (i)
      reference to such fact, indicating each Series so affected, shall be made in the notice of such meeting; and

      (ii)
      the holders of Debentures of a Series so affected shall not be bound by any action taken at such meeting or by instrument in writing under Section 10.15 unless in addition to compliance with the other provisions of this Article:

      (A)
      at such meeting:

      (x)
      there are present in person or by proxy holders of Debentures representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal outstanding in respect of the Debentures of all such Series, subject to the provisions of this Article 10 as to quorum at adjourned meetings; and

      in the case of action taken or power exercised by instrument in writing under Section 10.15, such instrument is signed in one or more counterparts by the holders of Debentures representing not less than 662/3% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding in respect of the Debentures of all such Series.

        Notwithstanding any other term of this Indenture, a Special Resolution shall be required in order to amend directly or indirectly or otherwise vary:

53

    the definitions of "Majority Resolution", "Extraordinary Resolution", "Event of Default" and "Special Resolution" set out in Section 1.1;

    (b)
    any provision of this Indenture which expressly requires a Special Resolution;

    (c)
    reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures required for any modification or amendment of the Indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture that affect such Debentures or certain defaults applicable to such Debentures hereunder or reduce the quorum requirements of Section 10.4;

    (d)
    the pari passu ranking of the Debentures as provided for in this Indenture;

    (e)
    the Stated Maturity Date, any date for payment of interest, the principal amount outstanding, currency of payments, rate of interest or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the redemption price of any Debentures or any rights of repayment at the option of any holder of Debentures; and

    (f)
    materially impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Debentures on or after the due date thereof.

ARTICLE 12
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

12.1 Trust Indenture Legislation

        (a)   The expression "indenture legislation" means the provisions, if any, of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and any other statute of Canada or any province thereof, and of any regulations under any such statute, relating to trust indentures and to the rights, duties and obligations of trustees under trust indentures and of corporations issuing debt obligations under trust indentures, to the extent that such provisions are at the time in force and applicable to this Indenture or the Corporation.

        (b)   The Corporation and the Trustee agree that each will at all times in relation to this Indenture and in relation to any action to be taken hereunder observe and comply with and be entitled to the benefits of indenture legislation.

        (c)   If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any mandatory requirement of indenture legislation, such mandatory requirement will prevail.

55


12.2 No Conflict of Interest

        The Trustee represents to the Corporation that at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture there exists no material conflict of interest in its role as a fiduciary hereunder.

12.3 Replacement of Trustee

        (a)   The Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation at least 60 days notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Corporation 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 will, as soon as practicable but in any case within 45 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. If the Trustee resigns or is removed by Extraordinary Resolution or is dissolved, becomes bankrupt, goes into liquidation or otherwise becomes incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation will forthwith appoint a new trustee unless a new trustee has already been appointed by the holders of Debentures; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Trustee or any holder of Debentures may apply to a Judge of the Supreme Court of Ontario, on such notice as such Judge may direct, for the appointment of a new trustee; but any new trustee so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court will be subject to removal by the holders of Debentures. Any new trustee appointed under any provision of this Section must be a company authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Ontario. On any new appointment the new trustee will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee.

        (b)   Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or amalgamated, any company resulting from any merger, consolidation or amalgamation to which the Trustee will be a party or any company to whom the Trustee may hereafter transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided such company shall be a bank or trust company which is qualified to be a successor to the Trustee hereunder and shall be authorized by applicable law to perform the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture, will be the successor trustee under this Indenture without the execution of any instrument or any further act.

12.4 Experts, Advisers and Agents

        The Trustee may:

    (a)
    in relation to these presents act on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any solicitor, auditor, valuator, engineer, surveyor, or other expert, whether obtained by the Trustee or by the Corporation, or otherwise, and may employ such assistants as may be necessary to the proper discharge of its duties and may pay proper and reasonable compensation for all such legal and other advice or assistance as aforesaid; and

    (b)
    employ such agents and other assistants as it may reasonably require for the proper discharge of its duties hereunder, and may pay reasonable remuneration for all services performed for it (and will be entitled to receive reasonable remuneration for all services performed by it) in the discharge of the trusts hereof and compensation for all disbursements, costs and expenses made or incurred by it in the discharge of its duties hereunder and in the management of the trusts hereof.

        (b)   Pending the investment of any monies as hereinbefore provided, such monies may be deposited in the name of the Trustee in any chartered bank of Canada or, with the consent of the Corporation, in the deposit department of the Trustee or any bank or other loan or trust company authorized to accept deposits under the laws of Canada or any province thereof at the rate of interest then current on similar deposits.

        (c)   Unless and until the Trustee has declared the principal of and interest on the Debentures to be due and payable the Trustee will pay over to the Corporation all interest received by the Trustee in respect of any investment or deposits made pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

        (d)   The Trustee shall not be liable for monies deposited with banks or solicitors or otherwise than with the Trustee.

        (e)   The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses incurred in the investment of monies hereunder unless and to the extent such losses result from the negligence or wilful misconduct of the Trustee or any contravention by the Trustee of any provisions of this Indenture or applicable law.

12.7 Conditions Precedent to Trustee's Obligation to Act

    (a)
    The Trustee shall not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding pursuant hereto unless and until it shall have been required so to do under the terms hereof. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice of any Event of Default, other than in payment of any monies required by any provision hereof to be paid to it, unless and until it has actual knowledge or has been notified in writing of such Event of Default, which notice shall distinctly specify the Event of Default desired to be brought to the attention of the Trustee and, in the absence of any such actual knowledge or notice, the Trustee may for all purposes of this Indenture conclusively assume that the Corporation is not in default hereunder and that no Event of Default has occurred.

        [REVERSE OF DEBENTURE]

This Debenture is a Global Debenture representing an issue of debentures of the Corporation designated as its 6.05% Senior Unsecured Debentures Series 1 due December 22, 2016 (the "Series 1 Debentures"), limited in aggregate principal amount to $650 million, issued under a Trust Indenture dated as of December 22, 2004 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture") between the Corporation and the BNY Trust Company of Canada, as Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee and the holders of the Series 1 Debentures and of the terms upon which the Series 1 Debentures are, and are to be, certified and delivered.

The Series 1 Debentures are general unsecured obligations of the Corporation limited to Cdn. $650 million aggregate principal amount, and will mature on December 22, 2016. The Series 1 Debentures are issuable in denominations of Cdn. $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. The Corporation may issue other series of debentures under the Indenture without the consent of the holders of Series 1 Debentures.

1.     Interest

Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Series 1 Debenture at the rate of 6.05% per annum and shall be payable in Canadian dollars in arrears in equal semi-annual instalments on June 22 and December 22 of each year, commencing June 22, 2005, to the person in whose name this Series 1 Debenture is registered at the close of business on the preceding June 7 and December 7, respectively. Interest on this Series 1 Debenture shall be computed from and including the date of issue or the preceding interest payment date to but excluding the payment date of such interest; provided that if any such interest payment date is not a Business Day, the interest payment shall be paid on the next day that is a Business Day.

If the outstanding principal amount of the Series 1 Debentures or any other amount in respect of the Series 1 Debentures is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Indenture, upon the date set for payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or upon the Stated Maturity of this Series 1 Debenture), then the Corporation shall pay on demand interest ("Default Interest") on the overdue amount at the rate of 6.05% per annum computed on the basis of a 365-day year, compounded semi-annually, which Default Interest (to the extent payment of such Default Interest shall be legally enforceable) shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was due to but excluding the date of payment of such amount, including Default Interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable as set forth in the Indenture. The accrual of such interest on overdue amounts shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the continued accrual of interest.

2.     Redemption

The Series 1 Debentures are redeemable for cash, in whole or in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days' notice of redemption, at the option of the Corporation at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount thereof; and (ii) the Canada Yield Price, in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.


If the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank holds, in accordance with the Indenture, money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Series 1 Debentures on the Redemption Date, then on and after the Redemption Date, such Series 1 Debentures will cease to be outstanding and interest thereon will cease to accrue and the principal amount and accrued interest thereon to, and including, such Redemption Date will be fully satisfied, whether or not such Series 1 Debentures are delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank, and all other rights of the holders shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Redemption Price upon delivery of such Series 1 Debentures).

3.     Method of Payment

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Corporation will make payments in respect of Redemption Prices, Repurchase Price and amounts payable on the Stated Maturity Date, if any, to holders who surrender Debentures to the Trustee to collect such payments in respect of the Debentures. The Corporation will pay cash amounts in money of Canada that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

4.     Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent Bank and sole registrar. The Corporation, at its option, may from time to time appoint one or more Paying Agent Banks and terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent Bank in respect of the Series 1 Debentures. The Corporation may also, with the consent of the Trustee, appoint one or more additional registrars of the Series 1 Debentures.

5.     Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Series 1 Debentures are issued only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples thereof. A holder of Series 1 Debentures may transfer or exchange Series 1 Debentures in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a holder of Series 1 Debentures, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

6.     Persons Deemed Owners

Prior to due presentment of this Series 1 Debenture for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Series 1 Debenture is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Series 1 Debenture is overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

2


7.     Amendment; Waiver

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the holders of the Debenture under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of 662/3% of the principal amount of the debentures at the time outstanding. Amendments that in the opinion of Counsel as delivered to the Trustee do not adversely affect the rights of the holders of debentures of one or more series under the Indenture shall be approved by the holders of debentures excluding the debentures of such series. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority of principal of the debentures at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all of the debentures, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Series 1 Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon the 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 Series 1 Debenture.

8.     Unclaimed Monies

Any monies not claimed by and paid to holders of Series 1 Debentures within six years after the date upon which such monies are payable in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Debentures and are set aside by the Corporation for such purpose will be repaid to the Corporation by the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank, if applicable, on demand and thereupon the Trustee or Paying Agent Bank will be released from all further liability with respect to such monies and thereafter the holders of Series 1 Debentures in respect of which such monies were so repaid to the Corporation will have no rights in respect thereof except to obtain payment of such monies (without interest thereon) from the Corporation, subject to any applicable period of prescription provided by law.

9.     Defaults and Remedies

The Indenture contains certain specified Events of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing the Trustee may in its discretion and will, upon receipt of a requisition in writing signed by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debentures then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Corporation declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on all debentures then outstanding to be due and payable and the same will forthwith become immediately due and payable to the Trustee, and the Corporation will forthwith pay such amount to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of debentures as set forth in the Indenture. Such payment when made will be deemed to have been made in discharge of the Corporation's obligations under the Indenture.

10.   Authentication

This Series 1 Debenture shall not be valid until authorized officers of the Trustee manually sign the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.
