The Debentures of each Series shall be designated in such manner, shall bear such title, date or dates and mature on such date or dates, shall bear interest, if any, at such rate or rates accruing from and payable on such date or dates, may be issued at

such times and in such denominations, may be redeemable before maturity in such manner and subject to payment of such Premium, may be payable as to principal, interest and Premium at such place or places and in such currency or currencies, may be payable as to principal, interest and Premium in Securities of the Corporation or any other Person, may provide for such mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other analogous repayment obligations, may contain such provisions for the exchange or transfer of Debentures including different denominations and forms, may have attached thereto or issued therewith Securities entitling the Holders to subscribe for, purchase or acquire Securities of the Corporation or any other Person upon such terms, may give the Holders thereof the right to convert Debentures into Securities of the Corporation or any other Person upon such terms, may be defeasible at the option of the Corporation, and may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture (except as otherwise permitted herein) or applicable law, as may be determined by the Directors by a resolution passed at or prior to the time of issue of the Debentures of such Series and set forth in a Term Schedule or, to such extent as the Directors may deem appropriate, in a Supplemental Indenture pertaining to the Debentures of such Series. At the option of the Corporation, the maximum principal amount of Debentures of any Series may be limited, such limitation to be expressed in the Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of the Debentures of such Series, and any such limitation may be increased at any time by the Corporation without the consent of the Debentureholders by means of a resolution of the Directors.

If any of the terms of a Series are established by action taken pursuant to a board resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action will be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee concurrently with or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

2.3 Form of Debentures

The Debentures of any Series may be of different denominations and forms and may contain such variations of tenor and effect, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture (except as otherwise permitted herein) or applicable law, as are incidental to such differences of denomination and form, including variations in the provisions for the exchange of Debentures of different denominations or forms and in the provisions for the registration or transfer of Debentures, and any Series of Debentures may consist of Debentures having different dates of issue, different dates of maturity, different rates of interest, different redemption prices, different sinking fund provisions, and partly of Debentures carrying the benefit of a sinking fund and partly of Debentures with no sinking fund provided therefor.

Subject to the foregoing provisions and subject to any limitation as to the maximum principal amount of Debentures of any particular Series, any Debenture may be issued as part of any Series of Debentures previously issued.

The Debentures and the registration panel and certificate of the Trustees endorsed thereon may be in the form set out in Schedule “A” or in such other form or forms (which may include legends) as the Directors shall by resolution determine at or prior to the time of issue thereof and set forth in a Term Schedule, or to the extent as the Directors may deem appropriate, in a Supplemental Indenture pertaining thereto.

The Debentures of any Series may be engraved, lithographed, printed, mimeographed or typewritten, or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Corporation may determine, provided that if a Debenture is issued in mimeographed or typewritten form, the Corporation, on the demand of the Holder thereof, shall make available within a reasonable time after such demand, without expense to such Holder, an engraved, lithographed or printed Debenture in exchange therefor.

Unless otherwise specified in the Term Schedule or the Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Debentures, every Global Debenture of such Series authenticated and delivered by the Trustees shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS DEBENTURE IS A GLOBAL DEBENTURE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CANADIAN DEPOSITORY FOR SECURITIES LIMITED (“CDS”) TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL BECAUSE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Global Debenture evidencing U.S. Dollar Debentures shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, or such other applicable legend, unless otherwise specified in the Supplemental Indenture:

THIS DEBENTURE IS A GLOBAL DEBENTURE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS DEBENTURE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR DEBENTURES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE REGISTERED, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY DEBENTURE AUTHENTICATED AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR, OR IN LIEU OF, THIS DEBENTURE WILL BE A GLOBAL DEBENTURE SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.

2.4 Debentures to Rank Equally

The Debentures shall be direct unsecured obligations of the Corporation. The Debentures of each Series shall rank equally and pari passu with each other and with the Debentures of every other Series (regardless of their actual dates or terms of issue) and, subject to statutory preferred exceptions, with all other existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured Indebtedness of the Corporation, except as to sinking fund provisions applicable to different Series of Debentures.

2.5 Book-Entry Only Debentures

Except as otherwise provided in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Debentures, each Series of Debentures shall be issued as Book-Entry Only Debentures represented by a Global Debenture. Each Global Debenture authenticated in accordance with any Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Debenture or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Debenture shall constitute a single Debenture for all purposes of this Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures. None of the Corporation, the Trustees or any other Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by any Depository on account of the beneficial interest in any Global Debenture. Except as provided in this Section 2.5, owners of beneficial interests in any Global Debenture shall not be entitled to have Debentures registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive Debentures in definitive form and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture. Nothing herein or in a Supplemental Indenture shall prevent the owners of beneficial interests in Global Debentures from voting such Debentures using duly executed proxies.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or any provision in any Supplemental Indenture, no Global Debenture may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debentures registered, and no transfer of a Global Debenture in whole or in part may be registered in the name of any Person other than the Depository for such Global Debenture or a nominee thereof unless:

(a) the Depository notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depository in connection with such Debentures and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor,

(b) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depository and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor,

(d) such right is required by applicable law, as determined by the Corporation and the Corporation Counsel,

following which Debentures in fully registered form shall be issued to the beneficial owners of such Debentures or their nominees.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, any exchange of a Global Debenture for Debentures which are not Global Debentures may be made in whole or in part in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9, mutatis mutandis. All such Debentures issued in exchange for a Global Debenture or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depository for such Global Debenture shall direct and shall be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same terms and conditions (except insofar as they relate specifically to Global Debentures) as the Global Debenture or portion thereof surrendered upon such exchange.

Every Debenture authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of a Global Debenture, or in exchange for or in lieu of a Global Debenture or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 2.5 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Debenture, unless such Debenture is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Debenture or a nominee thereof.

2.6 Signatures on Debentures

All Debentures shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile signature) by any two of the chairman of the Corporation’s board of directors, the president and chief executive officer of the Corporation, the chief financial officer of the Corporation and the secretary of the Corporation. A facsimile signature on any Debenture shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the individual whose signature it purports to be and to have been signed at the time such facsimile signature was reproduced, and each Debenture so signed shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation notwithstanding that any individual whose signature (either manual or facsimile) appears on a Debenture is not at the date of this Indenture or at the date of the Debenture or at the date of the authentication and delivery thereof an officer of the Corporation.

2.7 Authentication

No Debenture shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or entitle the Holder thereof to the benefit thereof until it has been authenticated by or on behalf of one of the Trustees substantially in the form set out in Schedule “A” or in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture or in some other form acceptable to the Trustees. Such execution of the certificate of authentication on any Debenture shall be conclusive evidence that such Debenture has been duly issued hereunder and is a valid obligation of the Corporation. The execution of the certificate of authentication by the shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the authenticating Trustee that such Trustee has examined the form of Debenture so authenticated and delivered and has found the same to be in substantially the form called for by the Indenture

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debenture shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation and the Corporation shall deliver such Debenture to the Trustee for cancellation, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debenture will be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and will never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The Debentures shall be dated the date of their authentication.

2.8 Concerning Interest

Except as otherwise provided in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Debentures,

(a) each Debenture of a Series, whether issued originally or in exchange or in substitution for previously issued Debentures, shall bear interest from and including the later of

(i) its date of issue and

(ii) the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on the outstanding Debentures of such Series;

(b) interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears in equal instalments;

(d) whenever interest is computed on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by

multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing such product by the number of days in the deemed year.

Subject to accrual of any interest on unpaid interest from time to time, interest on each Debenture shall cease to accrue from the earlier of the Maturity Date of such Debenture and, if such Debenture is called for redemption, the Redemption Date fixed for such Debenture, unless, in each case, upon due presentation and surrender of such Debenture for payment on or after such Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, such payment is improperly withheld or refused.

Wherever in this Indenture or a Debenture there is mention, in any context, of the payment of interest, such mention is deemed to include the payment of interest on amounts in default to the extent that, in such context, such interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to this Indenture or such Debenture, and express mention of interest on amounts in default in any of the provisions of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding such interest in those provisions of this Indenture in which such express mention is not made.

Except as otherwise provided in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Debentures, if the date for payment of any amount of principal or interest in respect of a Debenture is not a Business Day at the place of payment, then payment shall be made on the next Business Day at such place and the Holder of such Debenture shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of the delay.

Except as otherwise provided in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Debentures, the Corporation shall pay the interest due upon the principal amount of an interest-bearing Debenture (except interest payable on maturity or redemption of such Debenture which, at the option of the Corporation, may be paid only upon presentation of such Debenture for payment) by forwarding or causing to be forwarded by wire or by prepaid ordinary mail (or in the event of mail service interruption, by such other means as the Corporation and the Trustees determine to be appropriate) a cheque for such interest (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Debenture on the Record Date for such payment at the address appearing on the Register unless otherwise directed in writing by such Holder or, in the case of joint Holders, payable to all such joint Holders and addressed to one of them at the last address appearing in the applicable Register and negotiable at par at each of the places at which interest upon such Debenture is payable. The forwarding of such cheque or wire shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the interest on such Debenture to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted or withheld) unless such cheque is not paid on presentation at any of the places at which such interest is payable. In the event of the non-receipt of a cheque by the applicable Debentureholder or the loss, theft or destruction thereof, the Corporation, upon being furnished with evidence of such non-receipt, loss, theft or destruction and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, shall issue or cause to be issued to such Debentureholder a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation, at its option, may cause the amount payable in respect of interest to be paid to a Debentureholder by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Debentureholder or in any other manner reasonably acceptable to the Trustees and the Debentureholder.

If payment of interest is made by cheque, such cheque shall be forwarded at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, and if payment is made in any other manner, such payment shall be made in a manner whereby the recipient receives credit for such payment on the applicable Interest Payment Date, provided the Trustees and the Paying Agents shall only forward such cheques upon receipt of the full amount of interest being paid in immediately available funds pursuant to Section 6.8.

2.9 Interim Debentures

Subject to the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture authorizing any Series of Debentures, definitive Debentures, other than Global Debentures, of such Series shall be lithographed or printed with steel engraved borders. Pending the preparation and delivery to the Trustees of definitive Debentures of any Series, the Corporation may execute in lieu thereof (but subject to the same provisions, conditions and limitations as herein set forth) and the Trustees may certify interim printed, mimeographed or typewritten Debentures, in such forms and in such denominations and with such appropriate omissions, insertions and variations as may be approved by any two officers of the Corporation (whose authentication or signature, either manual or facsimile, on any such interim Debentures shall be conclusive evidence of such approval) entitling the Holders thereof to receive definitive Debentures of such Series in any authorized denominations and forms when the same are prepared and ready for delivery, without expense to such Holders, but the total amount of interim Debentures of any Series so issued shall not exceed the total amount of Debentures of such Series for the time being authorized.

Forthwith after the issuance of any such interim Debentures, the Corporation shall cause to be prepared the appropriate definitive Debentures for delivery to the Holders of such interim Debentures. After the preparation of definitive Debentures of a Series, the interim Debenture or Debentures of such Series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debentures of such Series upon surrender of such interim Debenture or Debentures at the Corporate Trust Office or at the principal office of any other Paying Agent, without charge to the holder thereof. Upon surrender of any such interim Debenture, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for all or any part of such interim Debenture, one or more definitive Debentures of the same Series, of any authorized denomination and of like tenor and for an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interim Debenture or part thereof that is being exchanged for such definitive Debenture or Debentures and if part only of such interim Debenture is being exchanged for such definitive Debenture or Debentures, together with such interim Debenture with the reduction of the principal amount thereof endorsed thereon or on a Schedule “A” annexed thereto by the Trustees or such Paying Agent or together with a new interim Debenture or Debentures, executed by the Corporation and authenticated and delivered by the Trustees, of the same Series, of any authorized denomination and of like tenor and for an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining principal amount of the surrendered interim Debenture or Debentures. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of an interim Debenture for definitive Debentures or for definitive Debentures together with new interim Debentures, the interim Debenture so exchanged shall be cancelled.

Any interim Debentures when duly issued shall, until exchanged for definitive Debentures, entitle the Holders thereof to rank for all purposes as Debentureholders and otherwise in respect of this Indenture to the same extent and in the same manner as though such exchange had actually been made. Any interest paid upon interim Debentures shall be noted thereon by the Paying Agent at the time of payment unless paid by warrant or cheque to the Holder thereof.

2.10 Issue of Substitute Debentures

If any Debenture issued and certified hereunder becomes mutilated or is lost, destroyed or stolen, the Corporation, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a replacement Debenture of like date and tenor as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon cancellation of such mutilated Debenture or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Debenture. The substituted Debenture shall be in a form reasonably approved by the Corporation and shall be entitled to the benefit hereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Debentures. The applicant for a replacement Debenture shall bear the cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issue

thereof, furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustees such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Debenture so lost, destroyed or stolen as shall be satisfactory to the Corporation and to the Trustees in their discretion, and such applicant shall also furnish indemnity, in amount and form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustees in their discretion, and shall pay the reasonable charges and expenses of the Corporation and the Trustees in connection therewith.

2.11 Option of Holder as to Place of Payment

Except as herein otherwise provided, all amounts which at any time become payable on account of any Debenture or any interest or Premium thereon shall be payable at the option of the Holder at any of the places at which the principal and interest in respect of such Debenture are payable.

2.12 Record of Payments

The Canadian Trustee (or, upon issuance of U.S. Dollar Debentures, the U.S. Trustee) shall maintain accounts and records evidencing each payment of principal of and Premium and interest on Debentures, which accounts and records shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence thereof.

None of the Corporation, the Trustees, any Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be liable or responsible to any Person for any aspect of the records related to or payments made on account of beneficial interests in any Global Debenture or for maintaining, reviewing, or supervising any records relating to such beneficial interests.

2.13 Surrender for Cancellation

If the principal amount due upon any Debenture shall become payable before the Stated Maturity thereof, the Person presenting such Debenture for payment shall surrender the same for cancellation to the Corporate Trust Office of the Canadian Trustee (or in the case of U.S. Dollar Debentures, the U.S. Trustee) and the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid the interest accrued and unpaid thereon (computed on a per diem basis if the date fixed for payment is not an Interest Payment Date).

2.14 Right to Receive Indenture

Each Debentureholder is entitled to receive from the Corporation a copy of this Indenture on written request and upon payment of a reasonable copying charge.

ARTICLE 3
REGISTRATION, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND OWNERSHIP OF DEBENTURES

3.1 Registers

Such registration shall be noted on such Debentures by the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar. Every Registrar (including the appropriate Trustees) from time to time shall, when requested in writing so to do by the Corporation or by the Trustees, furnish the Corporation or the Trustees, as the case may be, with a

list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Debentures entered on the Register kept by such Registrar, showing the principal amount and serial numbers of such Debentures held by each Holder.

The Registers referred to in this Section 3.1 shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Corporation, the Trustees, any Debentureholder and any Person who has a beneficial interest in a Global Debenture and provides a sworn affidavit confirming such beneficial ownership.

It is understood that the U.S. Trustee shall be obligated to maintain such Register only in the event that U.S. Dollar Debentures are issued, and only in respect of such U.S. Dollar Debentures.

3.2 Transfer of Debentures

A Holder of a Debenture may at any time and from time to time have such Debenture transferred at any of the places at which a Register is kept pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1. A Holder of a Debenture may at any time and from time to time have the registration of such Debenture transferred from the Register in which the registration of such Debenture appears to another Register maintained in another place authorized for that purpose under the provisions of this Indenture upon payment of a reasonable fee to be fixed by the Corporation and the Trustees.

No transfer of a Debenture shall be effective as against the Corporation unless:

(a) such transfer is made by the Holder of the Debenture or the executor, administrator or other legal representative of, or any attorney for, the Holder, duly appointed by an instrument in form and execution satisfactory to the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar, upon surrender to the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar of the Debenture and a duly executed form of transfer,

(b) such transfer is made in compliance with applicable law,

(c) such transfer is made in compliance with requirements as the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar may prescribe, and

(d) such transfer has been duly noted on such Debenture and on one of the appropriate Registers by the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions governing the transfer of, and restrictions of transfer on, U.S. Dollar Debentures may be set forth in the Supplemental Indenture under which the U.S. Dollar Debentures are issued.

3.3 Restrictions on Transfer of Global Debentures

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Debenture registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository may not be transferred by the Depository or such nominee except in the following circumstances or as otherwise specified in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture relating to such Debenture:

(a) such Global Debenture may be transferred by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee;

(b) such Global Debenture may be transferred at any time after the Depository for such Global Debenture has notified the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable or no longer eligible to continue as Depository for such Global Debenture;

(c) such Global Debenture may be transferred at any time after the Corporation has determined, in its sole discretion, that the Debentures represented by such Global Debenture shall no longer be held as Book-Entry Only Debentures; and

(d) such Global Debenture may be transferred at any time after the Trustees have determined that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Debentures of the Series issued in the form of such Global Debenture, provided that at the time of such transfer such Event of Default has not been waived in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

3.4 Transferee Entitled to Registration

The transferee of a Debenture shall be entitled, after the appropriate form of transfer is lodged with the Trustee or other Registrar and upon compliance with all other conditions in that regard required by this Indenture or by law, to be entered on a Register as the Holder of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of setoff or counterclaim between the Corporation and the transferor or any previous Holder of such Debenture, 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.

3.5 Closing of Registers

The Corporation shall have power at any time to close any Register. The Corporation shall transfer the registration of any Debentures registered on a Register which the Corporation closes to another existing Register or to a new Register and thereafter such Debentures shall be deemed to be registered on such existing or new Register, as the case may be. If the Register in any place is closed and the records are transferred to a Register in another place, notice of such change shall be given to each Debentureholder registered in the Register so closed and the particulars of such change shall be recorded in the Central Register.

None of the Corporation, the Trustees nor any Registrar shall be required to:

(a) effect transfers or exchanges of Debentures of any Series on any Interest Payment Date for Debentures of that Series or during the 15 preceding Business Days, or

(b) effect transfers or exchanges of Debentures of any Series

(i) from the day of any selection by the Trustees of Debentures of that Series to be redeemed until the day on which notice of redemption is mailed pursuant to Section 5.3, or

(ii) that have been selected or called for redemption in whole or in part unless, upon due presentation thereof for redemption, such Debentures are not redeemed.

3.6 Exchange of Debentures

Subject to Section 3.5, Debentures in any authorized form or denomination may be exchanged upon reasonable notice for Debentures in any other authorized form or denomination, any such exchange to be for an equivalent aggregate principal amount of Debentures of the same Series, carrying the same rate of interest and having the same Maturity Date and the same redemption and sinking fund provisions, if any.

Debentures of any Series may be exchanged at the respective Corporate Trust Offices or at such other place or places as may be specified in the Debentures of such Series or in the Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance thereof, and at such other place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.7. Any Debentures tendered for exchange shall be surrendered to either Trustee. The Corporation shall execute and the Trustees shall authenticate all Debentures necessary to carry out such exchanges. All Debentures surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled.

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

(a) Debentures which have been selected or called for redemption may not be exchanged for Debentures of larger denominations, and

(b) if a Debenture that has been selected or called for redemption in part is presented for exchange into Debentures of smaller denominations, the Trustees shall designate, according to such method as the Trustees shall deem equitable, particular Debentures of those issued in exchange, which shall be deemed to have been selected or called for redemption, in whole or in part, and the Trustees shall note thereon a statement to that effect.

3.7 Ownership and Entitlement to Payment

The Person in whose name a Debenture is registered shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner thereof for all purposes of this Indenture and payment of or on account of the principal of and Premium and interest on such Debenture shall be made only to or upon the order in writing of such Person, and each such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Corporation, the Trustees, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid.

If a Debenture is registered in the name of more than one Person, the principal, Premium and interest from time to time payable in respect thereof may be paid to the order of all such Persons, failing written instructions from them to the contrary, and each such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Corporation, the Trustees, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, all payments in respect of Debentures represented by a Global Debenture shall be made to the Depository or its nominee for subsequent payment by the Depository or its nominee to holders of interests in such Global Debenture.

The Holder for the time being of a Debenture shall be entitled to the principal, Premium and interest evidenced by such Debenture, free from all equities or rights of setoff or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate Holder thereof, and all Persons may act accordingly. The receipt by any such Holder of any such principal, Premium or interest shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Corporation, the Trustees, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid, and none of the Corporation, the Trustee, any Registrar and any Paying Agent shall be bound to inquire into the title of any such Holder.

3.8 Evidence of Ownership

The Corporation and the Trustees may treat the registered Holder of a Debenture as the beneficial owner thereof without actual production of such Debenture for the purpose of any Debentureholders’ Request, requisition, direction, consent, instrument or other document to be made, signed or given by the Holder of such Debenture.

3.9 No Notice of Trusts

Neither the Corporation nor the Trustees nor any Registrar nor any Paying Agent shall be bound to take notice of or see to the performance or observance of any duty owed to a third Person (whether under a trust, express, implied, resulting or constructive, in respect of any Debenture or otherwise) by the beneficial owner or the Holder of a Debenture or any Person whom the Corporation or the Trustees treat, as permitted or required by law, as the beneficial owner or the Holder of such Debenture, and the Corporation, the Trustees or any Registrar may transfer such Debenture on the direction of the Person so treated or registered as the Holder thereof, whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that Person was the beneficial owner of such Debenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Trustees, Paying Agents and Corporation may treat the Person in whose name the Debenture is registered as the sole owner for all purposes whatsoever.

3.10 Charges for Transfer and Exchange

For each Debenture exchanged or transferred, the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar, except as otherwise herein provided, may charge a reasonable amount for its services and in addition may charge a reasonable amount for each new Debenture issued (such amounts to be agreed upon by the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar and the Corporation from time to time), and payment of such charges and reimbursement of the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar for any stamp taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid shall be made by the Person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no charge (except a charge to reimburse the appropriate Trustee or other Registrar for any stamp taxes or governmental or other charges) shall be made to a Debentureholder

(a) for any exchange or transfer of Debentures of a Series applied for within a period of 45 days from the date of the first delivery of Debentures of such Series;

(b) for any exchange of Debentures in denominations in excess of $1,000 for Debentures in lesser denominations, provided that the Debentures surrendered for exchange shall not have been issued as a result of any previous exchange other than an exchange pursuant to Section 3.10(a);

(d) for any exchange of any Debenture resulting from a partial redemption pursuant to Section 5.2.

ARTICLE 4
ISSUE AND DELIVERY OF DEBENTURES

4.1 Issuance of Debentures

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation may issue, and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver to or to the order of the Corporation, Debentures issuable under this Indenture, but only upon receipt by the Trustee of the following:

(a) a Certified Resolution authorizing the issuance and requesting the certification and delivery of a specified principal amount of Debentures and determining the attributes thereof;

(b) an Officers’ Certificate stating that no default exists in respect of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions of this Indenture or, if any such default exists, specifying the nature thereof and the action, if any, being taken by the Corporation to remedy such default;

(c) an order of the Corporation for the authentication and delivery of such Debentures specifying the principal amount requested to be certified and delivered and having attached a schedule (a “Term Schedule”) specifying the date, principal amount, Stated Maturity, interest rate, if any, Interest Payment Dates, and place of delivery and all other provisions for each Debenture requested to be certified and delivered or, at the option of the Corporation, a Supplemental Indenture providing for the issue of such Debentures; and

(d) an Opinion of Corporation Counsel which shall state:

(1) that the form of such Debentures has been established by a Supplemental Indenture or by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2) that the terms of such Debentures have been established in accordance with and in conformity with the other provisions of this Indenture;

(3) that the Supplemental Indenture and such Debentures, when authenticated and delivered by the U.S. Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Corporation Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

(4) that all applicable laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Corporation of such Debentures have been complied with.

Upon the authentication and delivery by the Trustees of Debentures in accordance with an order of the Corporation, the Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture attached to such order of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a Schedule to and form part of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 5
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF DEBENTURES

5.1 General

The Corporation shall have the right at its option to redeem, either in whole at any time or in part from time to time before Stated Maturity, Debentures of any Series which by their terms are made so redeemable, at such rate or rates of Premium, on such date or dates and on such terms and conditions as shall have been determined at the time of issue of such Debentures and as shall be expressed in such Debentures or in the Supplemental Indenture or Term Schedule authorizing or providing for the issue thereof.

5.2 Partial Redemption of Debentures

If less than all of the Debentures of a Series for the time being outstanding are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date upon which notice of redemption is to be given to Holders of such Debentures, notify the Trustees in writing of the Corporation’s intention to redeem Debentures of such Series and of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed. The Debentures so to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustees on a pro rata basis (to the nearest multiple of $1,000) in accordance with the principal amount of Debentures of such Series registered in the name of each Holder or by lot or by such other means as the Trustees may deem equitable and expedient. For this purpose the Trustees may make regulations with regard to the manner in which such Debentures may be so selected, and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all Debentureholders. Debentures in denominations in excess of $1,000 may be selected and called for redemption in part only (such part being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), and, unless the context otherwise requires, reference to Debentures in this Article 5 shall be deemed to include any such part of the principal amount of Debentures which shall 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, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such Holder, one or more new Debentures for the

unredeemed part of the Debenture so surrendered, and the Trustees shall certify and deliver such new Debenture or Debentures upon receipt of the Debenture so surrendered.

5.3 Notice of Redemption

Notice of intention to redeem any Debentures shall be given by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders of the Debentures which are to be redeemed, not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), in the manner provided in Section 12.2. Every notice of redemption shall specify the Series and the Stated Maturity of the Debentures called for redemption, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price or, where applicable only, the date upon which the Redemption Price shall be calculated in connection with the Debentures called for redemption (“Redemption Price Calculation Date”) and the place or places of payment, and shall state that all interest thereon shall cease from and after the Redemption Date. In addition, unless all the outstanding Debentures of a Series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify

(a) in the case of a notice mailed to a Holder, the distinguishing letters and numbers of the Debentures which are to be redeemed (or of such thereof as are registered in the name of such Holder);

(b) in the case of a published notice, the distinguishing letters and numbers of the Debentures which are to be redeemed or, if such Debentures are selected by terminal digit or other similar system, such particulars as may be sufficient to identify the Debentures so selected;

(c) in the case of Book-Entry Only Debentures, that the redemption shall take place in such manner as may be agreed by the Depository, the Trustees and the Corporation; and

(d) in all cases, the principal amount of each Debenture to be redeemed or, if any such Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the principal amount of such part.

If a notice of redemption specifies a Redemption Price Calculation Date for any Debentures, the Corporation shall deliver to the Trustees, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date for such Debentures, an Officers’ Certificate which specifies the Redemption Price of such Debentures.

5.4 Debentures Due on Redemption Date

Upon notice of redemption having been given as specified in Section 5.3, all the Debentures so called for redemption shall thereupon be and become due and payable at the Redemption Price and on the Redemption Date specified in such notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if such date was the Stated Maturity specified in such Debentures, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Redemption Date, if the money necessary to redeem such Debentures shall have been irrevocably deposited as provided in Section 9.2 and affidavits or other proof satisfactory to the Trustees as to the publication or mailing of such notice shall have been lodged with the Trustee, such Debentures shall not be considered as outstanding hereunder and interest upon such Debentures shall cease.

If any question shall arise as to whether any deposit with the Trustees has been made, such question shall be decided by the Trustees, whose decision shall be final and binding upon all parties in interest.

5.5 Purchase of Debentures

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation may purchase all or any of the Debentures in the open-market (which shall include purchase from or through an investment dealer or a firm holding membership on a recognized stock exchange) or by tender or by private contract, at any price and at any time. All Debentures so purchased shall forthwith be delivered to either Trustee and shall be cancelled by it and, subject to the following paragraph of this Section 5.5, no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.

If, upon an invitation for tenders, more Debentures are tendered at the same lowest price than the Corporation is prepared to accept, the Debentures to be purchased by the Corporation shall be selected by the Trustees, in such manner (which may include selection by lot, selection on a pro rata basis, random selection by computer or any other method) as the Trustees consider appropriate, from the Debentures tendered by each tendering Debentureholder who tendered at such lowest price. For this purpose the Trustees may make, and from time to time amend, regulations with respect to the manner in which Debentures may be so selected, and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all Debentureholders, notwithstanding the fact that, as a result thereof, one or more of such Debentures become subject to purchase in part only. The Holder of a Debenture of which a part only is purchased, upon surrender of such Debenture for payment, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such Holder, one or more new Debentures for the unpurchased part so surrendered, and the Trustees shall certify and deliver such new Debenture or Debentures upon receipt of the Debenture so surrendered.

5.6 Cancellation of Debentures

Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.5 as to Debentures redeemed or purchased in part, all Debentures redeemed or purchased in whole or in part by the Corporation shall not be reissued or resold and shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by either Trustee, and no Debentures of the same Series shall be issued in substitution therefor.

ARTICLE 6
COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION

6.1 Covenants

In addition to any covenants specified in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture relating to a series of Debentures or except as otherwise provided in any such Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture, the Corporation hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustees for the benefit of the Trustees and the Debentureholders as follows:

(a) the Corporation will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid to each Holder of Debentures the principal thereof, interest accrued thereon and any Premium payable thereon on the dates, at the places, in the currency, and in the manner specified herein or as otherwise provided in such Debentures;

(b) the Corporation will annually, within 90 days (or such longer period as the Trustees in their discretion may consent) after the end of each of its and BREP’s fiscal years (at the date hereof December 31), furnish to the Canadian Trustee (or the U.S. Trustee in the case of a U.S. Dollar Debenture) a copy of the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and BREP and of the reports of their auditors thereon which are furnished to

their shareholders, and will furnish to such Trustee any other notice, statement or circular issued to such shareholders at the time they are so issued;

(c) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation, and at any other time if requested by the Trustee, the Corporation shall furnish the Canadian Trustee (or the U.S. Trustee in the case of a U.S. Dollar Debenture) with an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers thereof of their duties as officers or directors of the Corporation they would normally have knowledge of any default by the Corporation in the performance of its covenants under this Indenture or of any Event of Default and certifying that the Corporation has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this Indenture the non-compliance with which would, with notification or with the lapse of time or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default hereunder or, if such is not the case, setting forth with reasonable particulars the circumstances of any failure to comply; and

(d) the Corporation will quarterly, within 45 days (or such longer period as the Trustee in its discretion may consent) after the end of each of its and BREP’s fiscal quarters, furnish to the Canadian Trustee (or the U.S. Trustee in the case of a U.S. Dollar Debenture) a copy of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and BREP which were provided to their respective shareholders.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustees is for informational purposes only and the Trustees’ receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Corporation’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustees are entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

6.2 Limitations on Indebtedness

The Corporation will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, issue, incur, assume or otherwise become liable for or in respect of any Funded Indebtedness unless, after giving effect thereto, the Funded Indebtedness of BREP, calculated on a consolidated basis, would not exceed 75% of Total Consolidated Capitalization.

6.3 Limitation on Liens

The Corporation will not create or permit to exist any lien on any present or future assets of the Corporation to secure any borrowed money, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to create or permit to exist any lien on any present or future assets of such Subsidiary to secure any borrowed money, unless at the same time the Debentures are secured equally and ratably with such borrowed money, provided that this shall not apply to Permitted Encumbrances. Upon being advised by the Corporation in writing in an Officers’ Certificate that security has been provided for the Debentures on an equal and ratable basis in connection with the grant to a third party of security for borrowed money and subsequently that such security to the third party has been released, the Trustees will forthwith release the security granted for the Debentures.

6.4 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

The Corporation will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:

(a) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into prior to, concurrently with, or within 180 days after the acquisition, the completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing property) or the commencement of commercial operations of the relevant property, and the Corporation or such Subsidiary applies within 60 days after the sale an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale (i) to the repayment of Indebtedness which is pari passu to the Debentures, (ii) to the redemption of the Debentures, or (iii) to the reinvestment in its core business or the core business of the Corporation, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Corporation or a Guarantor; or

(b) the Corporation or the Subsidiary could otherwise grant a security interest on the property as a Permitted Encumbrance.

6.5 Limitation on Distributions

The Corporation may not, and may not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, suffer to exist any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary of the Corporation (i) to pay directly or indirectly dividends permitted by applicable law or make any other distributions in respect of its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Corporation or any other such Subsidiary; (ii) to make loans or advances to the Corporation or any other such Subsidiary; or (iii) to transfer any or all of its property or assets to the Corporation or any other such Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation or any such Subsidiary may suffer to exist any such encumbrance or restriction (a) pursuant to any agreement in effect on the date of the Debentures as described in this Indenture; (b) pursuant to an agreement relating to any Indebtedness incurred by any such Subsidiary prior to the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by the Corporation and outstanding on such date and not incurred in anticipation of becoming a Subsidiary of the Corporation; (c) pursuant to an agreement relating to any Limited Recourse Indebtedness of the Corporation or any such Subsidiary; or (d) pursuant to an agreement effecting a renewal, refunding or extension of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clauses (a) through (c) of this paragraph, provided however, that the provisions contained in such renewal, refunding or extension agreement relating to such encumbrance or restriction are no more restrictive in any material respect than the provisions contained in the agreement the subject thereof, as determined in good faith by the Directors.

6.6 Limitations on Debt and Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries

The Corporation will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, issue, incur, assume or otherwise become liable for or in respect of any Indebtedness or issue any Preferred Stock except: (a) Inter-Company Indebtedness of the Subsidiary; (b) Preferred Stock issued to any one or more of the Corporation, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Corporation or a Guarantor; (c) Limited Recourse Indebtedness of the Subsidiary; (d) Net Swap Exposure of the Subsidiary; (e) Capital Lease Obligations of the Subsidiary; (f) purchase money obligations of the Subsidiary; and/or (g) any other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of the Subsidiary (in addition to the Indebtedness and Preferred Stock referred to in paragraphs (a) to (f)) if, after giving effect to such other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock, the aggregate consolidated amount of all Indebtedness and Preferred Stock of BREP that does not constitute Inter-Company Indebtedness, Preferred Stock issued to the Corporation, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Corporation or a Guarantor, Limited Recourse Indebtedness, Net Swap Exposure, Capital Lease Obligations or purchase money obligations, would not exceed 5% of the Net Worth. For the purposes of this covenant, the assignment by the Corporation to a third party of Inter-Company Indebtedness owing by a Subsidiary will be considered to be incurrence of Indebtedness by that Subsidiary.

6.7 Maintenance of Offices or Agencies

The Corporation will maintain in Toronto, Ontario or New York, New York offices or agencies where Debentures may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Debentures may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Debentures and this Indenture may be served. The Corporate Trust Offices of the Trustees shall be such offices or agencies of the Corporation, unless the Corporation shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Corporation will give prompt notice to the Trustees of any change in the location of any such offices or agencies. If at any time the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such required offices or agencies or shall fail to furnish the Trustees with the addresses thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of either Trustee, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustees as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Corporation may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of Toronto, Ontario or New York, New York) where the Debentures may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Corporation of its obligation to maintain offices or agencies in Toronto, Ontario or New York, New York for such purposes. The Corporation will give prompt written notice to the Trustees of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

6.8 Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust

If the Corporation shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and Premium and interest on any of the Debentures, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of and Premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustees of its action or failure to so act.

Whenever the Corporation shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and Premium and interest on any Debentures, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the principal of and Premium and interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, Premium or interest and (unless such Paying Agent is a Trustee) the Corporation will promptly notify the Trustees of such action or any failure so to act.

The Corporation will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and Premium and interest on Debentures in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) give the Trustees notice of any default by the Corporation (or any other obligor upon the Debentures) in the making of any payment of principal of and Premium and interest; and

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustees, forthwith pay to either Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Corporation may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by an order of the Corporation direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Corporation or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Corporation or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustees, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with any Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Corporation, in trust for the payment of the principal of and Premium and interest on any Debenture and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal of and Premium and interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Corporation on the delivery of a Corporation Request, or (if then held by the Corporation) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debenture shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Corporation for payment thereof, and all liability of such Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Corporation as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

6.9 Trustee’s Remuneration and Expenses

The Corporation will pay each Trustee remuneration for its services as trustee hereunder in accordance with such Trustee’s standard fee schedule as it may exist from time to time and will pay or reimburse the Trustees upon their request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustees in the administration or execution of the trusts hereby created (including the reasonable compensation and the disbursements of Trustee Counsel and all other advisers and assistants not regularly in its employ who have been retained by the Trustee) both before any default hereunder and thereafter until all the duties of the Trustees shall be firmly and fully performed, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross negligence or wilful default. Any amount due under this section and unpaid thirty days after request for such payment shall bear interest from the expiration of such thirty days at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, payable on demand. After default, all amounts so payable and the interest thereon shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Trustees or their successors in the trusts hereunder in priority to any payment of the principal of or interest or Premium on the Debentures. Such remuneration shall continue to be payable until the trusts hereof shall be finally wound up, whether or not the trusts of this Indenture shall be in course of administration by or under the direction of a court.

When the Trustees incur expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(h), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of the Indenture.

6.10 Not to Extend Time for Payment of Interest

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11 or Section 11.12 as applicable, in order to prevent any accumulation after maturity of unpaid interest, the Corporation will not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of time for payment of interest upon any Debentures or directly or indirectly be or become a party to or approve any such arrangement by purchasing or funding interest on the Debentures or in any other manner.

If the time for the payment of any interest shall be so extended, whether or not such extension is by or with the consent of the Corporation, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Debentures

contained, such interest shall not be entitled in case of default hereunder to the benefit of this Indenture until such time as payment in full has been made of the principal of all the Debentures and of all interest on such Debentures the payment of which has not been so extended.

6.11 Examination and Audit

So long as any Debentures are outstanding, the Corporation will annually, within 90 days after the end of its fiscal year, have an examination and audit of the accounts, affairs and condition of the Corporation, BREP and their Subsidiaries made by their respective auditors.

(b) In addition, a Holder may, upon payment to the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee of a reasonable fee and subject to compliance with any applicable requirement of the Trust Indenture Act, require such Trustee to furnish within five Business Days after receiving the affidavit or statutory declaration referred to below, a list setting out (i) the name and address of every registered Holder, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Debentures owned by each registered Holder and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures, each as shown on the records of such Trustee on the day that the affidavit or statutory declaration is delivered to such Trustee. The affidavit or statutory declaration, as the case may be, shall contain (1) the name, address and occupation of the Holder, (2) where the Holder is a corporation, its name and address for service and (3) a statement that the list will not be used except in connection with an effort to influence the voting of the Holders, an offer to acquire Debentures or any other matter relating to the Debentures or the affairs of the Corporation. Where the Holder is a corporation, the affidavit or statutory declaration shall be made by a director or officer of the Corporation.

(c) Every Holder of Debentures, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Corporation and the Trustees that none of the Corporation, the Trustees or any Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of such list of the names and addresses of the Holders, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that neither Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under the Trust Indenture Act.

7.2 Reports by Trustees

In the event any U.S. Dollar Debentures are outstanding, within 60 days after May 15th of each year commencing with July 15, 2005, the U.S. Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Registers, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such May 15th as and if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a).

7.3 Reports by the Corporation

In the event any U.S. Dollar Debentures are outstanding, the Corporation shall:

(a) file with the U.S. Trustee, within 10 days after the Corporation is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Corporation may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Corporation is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then it shall file with the Trustees and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

(c) file with the Trustees and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Corporation, as the case may be, with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

ARTICLE 8
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Events of Default

In addition to any events specified in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture relating to a Series of Debentures or except as otherwise provided in any such Term Schedule or Supplemental

Indenture, each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” in respect of each Series of Debentures:

(a) failure to pay principal of (or Premium, if any, on) any Debenture when due;

(b) failure to pay any interest on any Debenture when due, continued for 30 days;

(d) failure to perform any other covenant or agreement of the Corporation under this Indenture or the Debentures for the benefit of the Holders continued for 60 days after written notice to the Corporation by the Trustees or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures;

(e) default by the Corporation or any Guarantor in payment of principal of, Premium, if any, or interest on any obligation for borrowed money (other than an obligation payable on demand or maturing less than 18 months from the creation or issue thereof) having an outstanding principal amount in excess of 5% of consolidated Net Worth in the aggregate at the time of default or in the performance of any other covenant of the Corporation or any Guarantor contained in any instrument under which such obligations are created or issued resulting in the acceleration of the final maturity of such obligations;

(f) the rendering of a final judgment or judgments (not subject to appeal) against the Corporation or any Guarantor in an amount in excess of 5% of the consolidated Net Worth which remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired;

(g) proceedings are commenced for the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under this Indenture), a decree or order of a court of competent jurisdiction is entered adjudging the Corporation or any Guarantor, a bankrupt or insolvent, or a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement or adjustment of or in respect of the Corporation or any Guarantor is approved under applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of debtors, unless such proceedings, decrees, orders or approvals are actively and diligently contested by the Corporation or such Guarantor in good faith and are dismissed or stayed within 60 days of commencement;

(h) the Corporation or any Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or petitions or applies to any court or tribunal for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property, or commences for itself or acquiesces in any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debt law or statute or any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property, or suffers any such receivership or trusteeship and allows it to remain undischarged or unstayed for 30 days;

(i) a resolution is passed for the winding-up or liquidation of the Corporation or any Guarantor except in the course of carrying out or pursuant to a transaction in respect of which the conditions of Section 10.1 are duly observed and performed; and

(j) the occurrence of any “Event of Default” under any Guarantee while it is outstanding (as that term is defined in such Guarantee).

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustees, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustees will be under no obligation to exercise any of their rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have provided the Canadian Trustee with sufficient funds for the purpose of exercising such rights or powers or in the case of a U.S. Trustee, reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustees or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustees.

8.2 Notice of Event of Default

Each Trustee shall, promptly after it has received notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, give the other Trustee notice of such Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, either Trustee shall, within 30 days after it has received notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Debentureholders in the manner specified in Section 12.2 provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or Premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture, the Trustees shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers of each Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Holders and the Trustees so advise the Corporation in writing. It is understood that the obligations of the U.S. Trustee shall be solely in connection with the holders of U.S. Dollar Debentures.

If notice of an Event of Default has been given to Debentureholders and such Event of Default is thereafter remedied or cured prior to the acceleration of the Indebtedness of the Corporation hereunder pursuant to Section 8.3, notice that such Event of Default is no longer continuing shall be given by the Trustees to the Persons to whom notice of such Event of Default was given pursuant to this Section 8.2, such notice to be given within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, after the Trustees become aware that such Event of Default has been remedied or cured during such period of time.

8.3 Acceleration

If an Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in subsection 8.1(g), (h) or (i) shall occur and be continuing, either the Trustees or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures may accelerate the maturity of all Debentures; provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in subsection 8.1(g), (h) or (i) occurs, the outstanding Debentures will ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustees or any holder.

No Debentureholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and unless also the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures shall have made written request and provided sufficient funds to the Canadian Trustee (or in the case of the U.S. Trustee, reasonable indemnity) to institute such proceedings as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, such limitations do not apply to a

suit instituted by a Debentureholder for enforcement of payment of the principal of and Premium, if any, or interest on such Debenture on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or the Debentures to the contrary, if such a declaration is made, the Corporation shall pay to the Trustees forthwith for the benefit of the Debentureholders the amount of principal of and Premium and accrued and unpaid interest (including interest on amounts in default) on all Debentures and all other amounts payable in regard thereto under this Indenture, together with interest thereon at the rate borne by such Debentures from the date of such declaration until payment is received by the Trustees. Such payments, when made, shall be deemed to have been made in discharge of the Corporation’s obligations under this Indenture and any amounts so received by the Trustees shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 8.8.

8.4 Waiver of Event of Default

Upon the happening of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the Series of Debentures with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or not less than 100% in the case of a failure to make payment of principal or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Section 11.11 hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture affected) shall have the power, exercisable by requisition in writing, to instruct the Trustees to waive such Event of Default and to cancel any declaration made by either Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3, and the Trustees shall thereupon waive such Event of Default or cancel such declaration upon such terms and conditions as shall be prescribed in such requisition.

No delay or omission of the Trustees or of the Debentureholders in exercising any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, and no act or omission, either of the Trustees or of the Debentureholders, shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent Event of Default or the rights resulting therefrom.

8.5 Enforcement by the Trustee

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustees shall exercise the rights and powers vested in them under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 and to the provisions of any Extraordinary Resolution, if the Corporation fails to pay to the Trustees, forthwith after the same shall have been declared to be due and payable under Section 8.3, the principal of and Premium and interest on all Debentures then outstanding together with any other amounts due hereunder, either or both Trustees shall, upon receipt of a Debentureholders’ Request and upon being provided with sufficient funds by pay all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its or their names as Trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce payment of such principal of and Premium 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 such Trustee(s) in such request shall have been directed to take, or if such request contains no such direction, then by such proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by suit at law or in equity as such Trustee(s) shall deem expedient.

The Trustees or either of them shall be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the Debentureholders, 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 claims of such Trustee(s) and of the Debentureholders

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 Trustees are hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Debentureholders by taking and holding Debentures shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustees) the true and lawful attorneys-in-fact of the respective Debentureholders with authority to make and file in the respective names of the Debentureholders or on behalf of the Debentureholders as a class, subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the Debentureholders 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 sums becoming distributable on account thereof, and to execute any such other documents and to do and perform any and all such acts and things, for and on behalf of such Debentureholders, as may be necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the Trustees acting on the advice of Trustee Counsel, in order to have the respective claims of the Trustees and of the Debentureholders against the Corporation or its property allowed in any such proceeding, and to receive payment of or on account of such claims, provided that nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to give to the Trustees, 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 Debentureholder.

The Trustees shall also have power at any time and from time to time to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may be advised shall be necessary or advisable to preserve and protect their interests and the interests of the Debentureholders.

All rights of action hereunder may be enforced by the Trustees without the possession of any of the Debentures or the production thereof on the trial or other proceedings relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustees or either of them shall be brought in the name of such Trustee(s) as trustee(s) of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the rateable benefit of the Debentureholders subject to the provisions of this Indenture. In any proceeding brought by the Trustees or either of them (and also in 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 Trustees or either of them shall be a party), such Trustee(s) shall be held to represent all the Debentureholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Debentureholders parties to any such proceeding.

8.6 Suits by Debentureholders

No Debentureholders of any Series shall 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 any Premium or interest on the Debentures of such Series 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 applicable law, including 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 unless:

(a) the Debentureholders of such Series, by Extraordinary Resolution or by Debentureholders’ Request, shall have made a request to the Trustees and the Trustees shall have been afforded reasonable opportunity either themselves to proceed to exercise the powers conferred upon them or to institute an action, suit or proceeding in their name for such purpose,

(b) the Debentureholders of such Series or any of them shall have furnished to the Trustees, when so requested by the Trustees, sufficient funds to pay the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,

(c) the Trustees shall have failed to act within a reasonable time after such notification, request and provision of sufficient funds (or indemnity in respect of the U.S. Trustee); and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been received by the Trustees from Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures of such Series.

If a Debentureholder has the right to institute proceedings under this Section 8.6, such Debentureholder, acting on behalf of itself and all other Debentureholders, shall be entitled to commence proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee might have commenced proceedings under Section 8.5, but in no event shall any Debentureholder or combination of Debentureholders have any right to seek any other remedy or institute proceedings out of court. No one or more Debentureholders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right under this Indenture or under any Debenture, except in accordance with the conditions and in the manner provided in this Indenture.

8.7 Undertaking for Costs

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against either Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 8.7 does not apply to a suit instituted by either Trustee, a suit by the Corporation, a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of the payment of any principal of or Premium or interest on a Debenture or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Debentures.

8.8 Application of Money

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any money received by the Trustees or a Debentureholder pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 or as a result of legal or other proceedings against the Corporation or any Subsidiary pursuant hereto, or from any trustee in bankruptcy or liquidator of the Corporation, shall be applied, together with other money available to the Trustees for such purpose, as follows:

(a) first, in payment or in reimbursement to the Trustees of their fee, costs, charges, expenses, borrowings, advances or other amounts furnished or provided by or at the request of the Trustees in or about the administration and execution of their trusts under, or otherwise in relation to, this Indenture, with interest thereon as herein provided;

(b) second, subject to the provisions of Section 6.10 and this Section 8.8, in payment of the principal of and Premium and accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default on the Debentures which shall then be outstanding in the priority of principal first and then Premium and then accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default unless otherwise directed by an Extraordinary Resolution, and in that case in such order or priority as between principal, Premium and interest as may be directed by such resolution; and

provided, however, that no payment shall be made pursuant to Section 8.8(b) in respect of the principal of or Premium or interest on any Debenture which either Trustee has been advised in writing to be held, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation (other than any Debenture pledged for value and in good faith to a Person other than the Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation, but only to the extent of such Person’s interest therein) until the prior payment in full of the principal of and Premium and interest on all Debentures which are not so held.

8.9 Distribution of Proceeds

Payments to Debentureholders pursuant to Section 8.8(b) shall be made as follows:

(a) at least 15 days’ notice of every such payment shall be given in the manner specified in Section 12.2, specifying the time and the place or places at which the Debentures are to be presented and the amount of the payment and the application thereof as between principal, Premium and interest;

(b) payment in respect of any Debenture shall be made upon presentation thereof at any one of the places specified in such notice and any such Debenture thereby paid in full shall be surrendered, otherwise a memorandum of such payment shall be endorsed thereon, but the Trustees may in their discretion dispense with presentation and surrender or endorsement in any case upon such indemnity being given as the Trustees shall consider sufficient;

(c) from and after the date of payment specified in such notice, interest shall 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 shall not be required to make any payment to Debentureholders unless the amount available to them for such purpose, after reserving therefrom such amount as the Trustees may think necessary to provide for the payments referred to in Section 8.8(a), exceeds two per cent of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding.

8.10 Remedies Cumulative

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

8.11 Judgment Against the Corporation

In case of any judicial or other proceedings to enforce the rights of the Debentureholders, judgment may be rendered against the Corporation in favour of the Debentureholders or in favour of the Trustees, as trustee for the Debentureholders, for any amount which may remain due in respect of the Debentures and the interest thereon.

8.12 Immunity of Shareholders, Directors and Officers

The Debentureholders and the Trustees 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 for the payment of the principal of or Premium or interest on any of the Debentures or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Corporation herein or in the Debentures contained.

ARTICLE 9
CANCELLATION, DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE

9.1 Cancellation and Destruction

All Debentures surrendered to the Corporation, a Registrar or a Paying Agent for any purpose shall be delivered to either Trustee forthwith. Each such Debenture and each Debenture surrendered to a Trustee shall be cancelled by such Trustee forthwith after all payments required in respect thereof to the date of surrender have been made. Subject to applicable law, all Debentures cancelled or required to be cancelled under this or any other provision of this Indenture shall be destroyed by either Trustee in accordance with such Trustee’s ordinary practice.

9.2 Payment of Amounts Due on Maturity

Except as otherwise provided in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Debentures, the Corporation shall prior to 9:00 a.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on each Maturity Date for outstanding Debentures, deposit with the Paying Agent or Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the amount payable in respect of such Debentures on such Maturity Date (less any taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld). The Trustees shall pay to the Holder of a Debenture entitled to receive payment on such Maturity Date, the principal amount of, accrued interest, if any, and Premium on such Debenture upon surrender of such Debenture at a Corporate Trust Office or at such other place as shall be designated for such purpose from time to time by the Corporation and the Trustees. The deposit of such amount with the Trustee shall satisfy and discharge the liability of the Corporation for the Debentures to which the deposit relates to the extent of the amount deposited (plus the amount of any taxes deducted or withheld) and thereafter such Debentures shall not to that extent be considered to be outstanding and such Holders thereof shall have no right with respect thereto other than to receive out of the amount so deposited the respective amounts to which such Holders are entitled upon surrender of such Debentures. Failure to make a deposit as required pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall constitute default in payment on the Debentures in respect of which the deposit was required to have been made.

9.3 Discharge

Upon notice being given to the Trustees that the principal of all the Debentures and the Premium thereon and interest (including interest on amounts in default) thereon and other amounts payable hereunder have been paid or satisfied, or that all the outstanding Debentures have matured or have been duly called for redemption, or the Trustees having been given irrevocable instructions by the Corporation to publish within 90 days of receipt of such instructions a notice of redemption of all the outstanding Debentures, such payment or redemption has been duly, irrevocably and effectually provided for by payment to the Trustees or otherwise, and upon payment of all costs, charges and expenses properly incurred by the Trustees in relation to this Indenture and all interest thereon and the remuneration of the Trustees, or upon provision satisfactory to the Trustees being made therefor, the Trustees shall, at the request and at the expense of the Corporation, and upon receipt of an Opinion of Corporation Counsel and

Officers’ Certificate that all conditions precedent to the discharge of the Indenture have been complied with, execute and deliver to the Corporation an acknowledgement of discharge or such deeds or other instruments as shall be requested of them to evidence the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and to release the Corporation from its covenants herein contained other than those relating to the indemnification of the Trustees.

9.4 Defeasance

The Corporation shall have the right (the “defeasance option”) to be released from the terms of this Indenture relating to the outstanding Debentures of a Series specified by the Corporation in a notice to the Trustees, and upon receipt of such notice the Trustees shall, at the request and expense of the Corporation, execute and deliver to the Corporation such deeds and other instruments as shall be necessary to release the Corporation from the terms of this Indenture relating to the Debentures of the Series specified in such notice, except those relating to the indemnification of the Trustees, subject to the following:

(a) the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence that the Corporation has

(i) deposited sufficient funds for payment of all principal, Premium, interest and other amounts due or to become due on the Debentures of such Series to the Stated Maturity thereof,

(ii) deposited funds or made provision for the payment of all remuneration and expenses of the Trustees to carry out its duties under this Indenture in respect of the Debentures of such Series, and

(iii) deposited funds for the payment of taxes arising with respect to all deposited funds or other provision for payment in respect of the Debentures of such Series, in each case irrevocably, pursuant to the terms of a trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustees;

(b) the Trustees shall have received an Opinion or Opinions of Corporation Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Debentures of such Series will not be subject to any additional Canadian or U.S. taxes (as applicable) as a result of the exercise by the Corporation of the defeasance option with respect to such Debentures and that such Holders will be subject to taxes, if any, including those in respect of income (including taxable capital gains), on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same time or times as would have been the case if the defeasance option had not been exercised in respect of such Debentures;

(d) such release does not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Corporation is a party or by which the Corporation is bound;

(e) the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustees an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in Section 9.4(a) was not made by the Corporation with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Debentures of such Series over the other creditors of the

Corporation or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Corporation or others; and

(f) the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustees an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Corporation Counsel as required pursuant to Sections 13.13 and 13.14, stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the exercise of such defeasance option have been complied with.

The Corporation shall be deemed to have made due provision for the depositing of funds if it deposits or causes to be deposited with the Trustees under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee (each acting reasonably), solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Debentures of the Series specified therein, money or Securities denominated in the currency in which principal is payable constituting direct obligations of Canada (or a Province thereof) or the United States (or a State thereof) or an agency or instrumentality of Canada or the United States, which will be sufficient, in the opinion of a firm of independent chartered accountants or an investment dealer acting reasonably and acceptable to the Trustees, to provide for payment in full of the Debentures of such Series and all other amounts from time to time due and owing under this Indenture which pertain to the Debentures of such Series.

The Trustees shall hold in trust all money or Securities deposited with it pursuant to this Section 9.4 and shall apply the deposited money and the money derived from such Securities in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and Premium and interest on the Debentures and, as applicable, other amounts.

If the Trustees are unable to apply any money or Securities in accordance with this Section 9.4 by reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Corporation’s obligations under this Indenture and the Debentures shall be revived and reinstated as though no money or Securities had been deposited pursuant to this Section 9.4 until such time as the Trustees are permitted to apply all such money or Securities in accordance with this Section 9.4 , provided that if the Corporation has made any payment in respect of principal, Premium or interest on Debentures or, as applicable, other amounts because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Debentures to receive such payment from the money or Securities held by the Trustees.

ARTICLE 10
SUCCESSORS

10.1 Requirements for Successors

So long as any Debentures are outstanding, the Corporation will not enter into any transaction, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary of the Corporation, whereby all or substantially all of the undertaking, property and assets of the Corporation would become the property of any other Person (any such Person being herein referred to as a “Successor”), whether by way of reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise, provided that nothing contained in this Indenture will prevent any such transaction if:

(c) no condition or event shall exist as to the Corporation or the Successor either at the time of or immediately after the consummation of any such transaction and after giving full effect thereto or immediately after compliance by the Successor with the provisions of Section 10.1(a) which constitutes or would constitute after the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, an Event of Default;

(d) the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of the Corporation Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating that the conditions precedent in this Section 10.1 have been satisfied; and

(e) neither the Corporation nor the Successor, either at the time of or immediately after the consummation of any such transaction and after giving full effect thereto, or immediately after compliance by the Successor with the provisions of Section 10.1(a), will be insolvent or generally fail to meet, or admit in writing its inability or unwillingness to meet, its obligations as they generally become due;

If the Trustees fail within 30 days after receipt of any such request and such sufficient funds or indemnity, as applicable, to give notice convening a meeting, the Corporation or such Debentureholders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting.

A notice of a meeting of Debentureholders shall state the time and place at which the meeting is to be held and shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat, and it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 11.

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted.

No powers exercisable by the Debentureholders shall derogate in any way from the rights of the Corporation under or pursuant to this Indenture or any Debentures.

11.19 Serial Meetings

If any business to be transacted at a meeting of Debentureholders or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing pursuant to Section 11.17 especially affects the rights of the Holders of Debentures of one or more Series in a manner or to an extent substantially differing from that in which it affects the rights of the Holders of Debentures of any other Series, then

(a) reference to such fact, indicating the Debentures of each Series so especially affected, shall be made in the notice of such meeting and the meeting shall be and is herein called a “serial meeting”;

(b) the Holders of Debentures of a Series so especially affected shall not be bound by any action taken or power exercised at a serial meeting unless in addition to the other provisions of this Article 11

(i) there are present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting Holders of at least 25% (or, for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution, at least 51%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of such Series then outstanding, subject to the provisions of this Article as to adjourned meetings, and

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, any covenant or other provision contained herein which is expressed to be effective only so long as any Debentures of a particular Series remain outstanding may be modified by the required resolution or consent of the Holders of the Debentures of such Series in the same manner as if the Debentures of such Series were the only Debentures outstanding hereunder. In addition, if any business to be transacted at any meeting or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing does not adversely affect the rights of the Holders of Debentures of one or more particular Series, the provisions of this Article 11 shall apply as if the Debentures of such Series were not outstanding and no notice of any such meeting need be given to the Holders of Debentures of such Series.

11.20 Record Dates

If the Corporation shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Corporation may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Certified Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to provide such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Corporation shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Certified Resolution.

If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Debentures then outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the Debentures then outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.
