- 14 -

favourable to the Issuer than was the case based on the application of GAAP as in effect immediately prior to the change.

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

2.1 No Fixed Limitation

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued under this Indenture is unlimited, but Notes may be issued hereunder only upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein provided.

2.2 Issuance in Series

Notes may be issued in one or more Series. The Notes of each Series shall be designated in such manner, shall bear such 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 Issuer 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 Notes of different denominations and forms; may have attached thereto or issued therewith Securities entitling the Holders to subscribe for, purchase or acquire Securities of the Issuer or any other Person upon such terms; may give the Holders thereof the right to convert Notes into Securities of the Issuer or any other Person upon such terms; may be defeasible at the option of the Issuer; and, may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be determined by the Directors by a resolution passed at or prior to the time of issue of the Notes of such Series and set forth in a Terms Schedule or, to such extent as the Directors may deem appropriate, in a Supplemental Indenture pertaining to the Notes of such Series. At the option of the Issuer, the maximum principal amount of Notes of any Series may be limited, such limitation to be expressed in the Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of the Notes of such Series, and any such limitation may be increased at any time by the Issuer by means of a resolution of the Directors.

- 15 -

2.3 Form of Notes

The Notes 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, as are incidental to such differences of denomination and form, including variations in the provisions for the exchange of Notes of different denominations or forms and in the provisions for the registration or transfer of Notes, and any Series of Notes may consist of Notes having different dates of issue, different dates of maturity, different rates of interest, different redemption prices, different sinking fund provisions, and partly of Notes carrying the benefit of a sinking fund and partly of Notes with no sinking fund provided therefor.

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

The Notes and the registration panel and certificate of the Trustee endorsed thereon may be in the forms (which may include legends) as the Directors shall by resolution determine prior to the time of issue thereof and as shall be approved by the Trustee based on an opinion of Counsel (pursuant to Section 4.1(c)), whose approval shall be conclusively evidenced by their respective certifications thereof.

Unless otherwise specified in the Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Notes, every Global Note of such Series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. (“CDS”) TO ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ INC. (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 SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE.”

- 16 -

2.4 Denomination of Notes

Notes shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, and unless otherwise specified in a Supplemental Indenture, the Notes shall be issuable in Canadian dollars in a minimum denomination of $1,000 and thereafter in integral multiples of $1,000.

2.5 Notes to Rank Equally

The Notes shall be direct senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Notes of each Series shall rank equally and pari passu with each other and with the Notes of every other Series (regardless of their actual dates or terms of issue) and, subject to statutory preferred exceptions, with all other senior unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer for Borrowed Money, except as to any sinking fund which pertains exclusively to any particular indebtedness of the Issuer.

2.6 Book Entry Only Notes

Except as otherwise provided in a Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Notes, each Series of Notes shall be issued as Book Entry Only Notes represented by a Global Note. Each Global Note authenticated in accordance with any Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Note or a Nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a Nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, Registrar 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 interests in any Global Note or for maintaining, reviewing or supervising any records relating to such beneficial interests. Except as provided in this Section 2.6 or Section 3.4, owners of beneficial interests in any Global Note shall not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive Definitive Notes and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture. Nothing herein or in a Supplemental Indenture shall prevent the beneficial owners in Global Notes from voting such Notes using duly executed proxies.

Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of a Global Note, or in exchange for or in lieu of a Global Note or any portion thereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Note or a Nominee thereof.

If the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depository, and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, the Issuer and the Trustee, acting reasonably, will each exercise commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon alternative arrangements whereby the Notes can be traded through an alternative book entry system.

- 17 -

2.7 Signatures on Notes

All Notes shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile signature) by any two Authorized Officers of the Issuer. A facsimile signature on any Note 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 Note so signed shall be valid and binding upon the Issuer notwithstanding that any individual whose signature (either manual or facsimile) appears on a Note is not an Authorized Officer at the date of this Indenture or at the date of the Note or at the date of the certification and delivery thereof.

2.8 Certification

No Note shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or entitle the Holder thereof to the benefit thereof until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Trustee in the form of the certificate set out in the Notes or in some other form approved by the Issuer (as reasonably agreed to by the Trustee) and such certification by the Trustee upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence against the Issuer that such Note has been duly issued hereunder and is a valid obligation of the Issuer.

Provided that the Trustee has acted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the certificate of the Trustee signed on a Note shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture or of such Note or its issuance, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the use made of such Note or the proceeds of issuance thereof. The certificate of the Trustee signed on any Note shall, however, be a representation and warranty by the Trustee that such Note has been duly certified by or on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

2.9 Payments of Principal, Interest and Premium

Except as otherwise provided in a Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Notes:

(a)

payment of interest, principal or Premium, as applicable will be made in the currency in which the Note is denominated;

(b)

each Note of a Series, whether issued originally or in exchange or in substitution for previously issued Notes, 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 Notes of such Series;

(c)

fixed rate Notes will bear interest at the rate per annum set out on the face thereof until the principal amount is paid or made available for payment, interest will be calculated and payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually in arrears in equal instalments on the date specified or as may be agreed to between the Issuer and the purchaser of a Note and at maturity or redemption;

- 18 -

(d)

floating rate Notes will bear interest from the original issue date thereof at rates set out on the face thereof, the rate of interest on floating rate Notes will be reset and payable monthly or quarterly and the Issuer shall act as pricing agent of floating rate Notes;

(e)

interest for any period less than six months shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days; and

(f)

whenever interest is computed on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that 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 or unpaid interest from time to time, interest on each Note shall cease to accrue from the earlier of the Maturity Date of such Note and, if such Note is called for redemption, the Redemption Date fixed for such Note, unless, in each case, upon due presentation and surrender of such Note 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 Note there is mention, in any context, of the payment of interest, such mention is deemed to include the payment of interest on amounts in default to the extent that, in such context, such interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to this Indenture or such Note, 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.

If the date for payment of any amount of interest, principal or Premium in respect of a Note 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 Note shall not be entitled to any additional interest or other payment in respect of the delay.

Except as otherwise provided in a Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Notes, the Issuer shall pay the interest, principal and Premium:

(a)

on each Definitive Note, at the places and in the manner specified in the applicable Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture. Payments of interest on each interest bearing Definitive Note (except interest payable on maturity or redemption of such Note which, at the option of the Issuer, may be paid only upon surrender of such Note to the Trustee for payment) will be made by cheque dated the Interest Payment Date and mailed to the address of the Holder, or if so agreed by the Trustee and the Issuer, funds representing the interest payable will be forwarded by electronic funds transfer or wire

- 19 -

transfer on the Interest Payment Date to the account of, the Holder appearing on the Register maintained by BNY Trust Company of Canada, as Registrar and transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”, which term shall include such other registrar or transfer agent as may, from time to time, be appointed by the Issuer) at the close of business in the City of Toronto on the tenth Business Day prior to the Interest Payment Date, 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 (unless otherwise instructed in writing). The forwarding of such cheque or electronic funds transfer or wire transfer, as the case may be, shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the payment of interest, principal, or Premium, if any, on such Note to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax, assessment or other government charge required by law to be deducted or withheld) unless, in the case of payment made by cheque, such cheque is not paid on presentation at any of the places at which such payment is payable. In the event of the non-receipt of such cheque by the applicable Noteholder or the loss, theft or destruction thereof, the Issuer, 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 Noteholder a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque; or

(b)

on each Global Note, to the Depository or the Nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the Global Note. Interest payments on Global Notes will be made by electronic funds transfer or wire transfer (or other payment method as agreed by the Trustee and the Issuer) on the date interest is payable and delivered to the Depository or the Nominee, as the case may be, on the date interest is payable. Principal payments on Global Notes will be made by electronic funds transfer or wire transfer (or other payment method as agreed by the Trustee and the Issuer) delivered to the Depository or the Nominee, as the case may be, at maturity against surrender to the Trustee of the Global Note. As long as the Depository or the Nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Depository or the Nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner of the Global Note for the purposes of receiving payments of interest, principal and Premium, if any, on the Note and for all other purposes under the Trust Indenture and the Note, except as required by law. The record date in respect of the payment of interest on a Global Note will be that day which is the tenth Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. The forwarding of any such payments of interest, principal or Premium, if any, to the Depository or the Nominee shall satisfy and discharge the liability in respect of such amounts on such Note to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax, assessment or other government charge required by law to be deducted or withheld).

(c)

Upon receipt of any payment of principal, interest or Premium, if any, in respect of a Global Note, the Depository or the Nominee, as the case may be, will credit Participants’ accounts, on the date principal, interest or Premium,

- 20 -

if any, is payable, with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of the Depository or the Nominee. Such payments of principal, interest or Premium, if any, by Participants to the owners of beneficial interests in such Global Notes held through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name” and will be the responsibility of such Participants. The responsibility and liability of the Issuer and the Trustee in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes is limited to making payment of any principal, interest or Premium, if any, due on such Global Notes to the Depository or the Nominee. The forwarding of such payment to the Depository or Nominee, as the case may be, shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the payment of interest, principal, or Premium, if any, on such Note to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax, assessment or other government charge required by law to be deducted or withheld). The Issuer and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any payment(s) made or required to be made by the Depository or any Participant on account of any beneficial interest in any Global Note and shall not be responsible for maintaining, reviewing or supervising any records relating to any such payment or requirement.

If payment of interest is made by cheque, such cheque shall be forwarded at least three (3) 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 Trustee and the Paying Agents shall only forward such cheques upon receipt of the full amount of interest being paid in immediately available funds.

2.10 Issue of Replacement Notes

If any Note issued and certified hereunder becomes mutilated or is lost, destroyed or stolen, the Issuer, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Trustee shall certify and deliver, a replacement Note 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 Note or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Note. The substituted Note shall be in a form reasonably approved by the Trustee and shall be entitled to the benefit hereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Notes. The applicant for a substitutional Note 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 Issuer and to the Trustee such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Note so lost, destroyed or stolen as shall be satisfactory to the Issuer and to the Trustee in their sole discretion, and such applicant shall also furnish an indemnity and surety bond, in amount and form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee in their sole discretion, and shall pay the reasonable charges and expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in connection therewith.

- 21 -

2.11 Place of Payment

Except as otherwise provided herein or in a Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture, all amounts that at any time become payable on account of any Note shall be payable at the principal office of the Trustee.

2.12 Record of Payments

The Trustee shall maintain accounts and records evidencing each payment of principal, interest and Premium on the Notes, which accounts and records shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence thereof.

2.13 Right to Receive Indenture

Each Noteholder is entitled to receive from the Trustee a copy of this Indenture and any applicable Supplemental Indenture on written request and upon payment of a reasonable copying charge.

ARTICLE 3

REGISTRATION, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND OWNERSHIP OF NOTES

3.1 Registration of Notes

The Issuer shall cause to be kept by the Trustee a register or an electronic database that shall contain the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series and particulars of the Notes held by them respectively (the “Register”). Unless otherwise provided in this Indenture or in any Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer shall also, with respect to each Series of Notes, cause to be provided by and at the principal office of the Trustee, facilities for the exchange and transfer of Notes, or at such other place or places (if any) as may be specified in such Notes, facilities for the registration, exchange and transfer of such Notes. The Issuer may, from time to time, provide additional facilities for such registration, exchange and transfer at other offices of the Trustee or other Registrar.

3.2 Transfer of Notes

The Noteholder may at any time and from time to time have a Note transferred at any one of the places at which a Register is kept pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.2 provided that no transfer of a Note shall be valid unless made at one of such offices or other agencies by the registered Noteholder or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Trustee or Registrar and upon compliance with applicable law, such reasonable requirements as the Trustee or Registrar may prescribe and upon payment of a reasonable fee to be fixed by the Trustee. Such change of registration shall be noted on such Note (unless a new Note shall be issued upon such change of registration) and on one of the appropriate Registers by the Trustee or other Registrar.

3.3 Closing of Registers

Except in the case of the Register maintained by Trustee at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario (the “Central Register”), the Issuer shall have the power at any time to close any Register. The Issuer shall transfer the registration of any Notes registered on a

- 22 -

Register which the Issuer closes to another existing Register or to a new Register and thereafter such Notes 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 Noteholder registered in the Register so closed and the particulars of such change shall be recorded in the Central Register.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Registrar shall be required to:

(a)

effect transfers or exchanges of Notes of any Series on any Interest Payment Date for Notes of that Series or the date fixed for payment of the principal or Premium, if any, for Notes of that Series or, in each case, during the 10 preceding Business Days, or

(b)

effect exchanges of Notes of any Series on the Redemption Date for Notes of that Series to be redeemed or during the 10 preceding Business Days.

the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depository and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor;

(ii)

(iii)

the Issuer has determined, in its sole discretion, that the Notes represented by such Global Note shall no longer be held as Book Entry Only Notes; or

(iv)

such transfer is required by applicable law, as determined by the Issuer and its Counsel.

Following any of the events described above, subject to the Issuer and the Trustee agreeing upon an alternative book entry arrangement as provided in Section 2.6, Definitive Notes will be issued to beneficial owners of such Notes or their nominee.

Beneficial owners of Notes who are not Participants, but who desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or other interest in Notes represented by a Global Note certificate, may do so only through a Participant. The Issuer is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for or in connection with any registration, tracking, administration or transfer of any beneficial ownership in any Note represented by the Global Note certificate.

3.6 Exchange of Notes

(a)

Subject to Sections 2.6, 3.3 and 3.4, Notes in any authorized form or denomination may be exchanged upon reasonable notice for Notes in any other authorized form or denomination representing the same underlying indebtedness, of the same Series and Maturity Date, carrying the same interest rate and of the same aggregate principal amount as the Notes so exchanged.

(b)

Notes of any Series may be exchanged only at the principal office of the Trustee at Toronto, Ontario, or at such other place or places (if any) as may be specified in the Notes of such Series and at such other place or places (if any) as may from time to time be designated by the Issuer with the approval of the Trustee. Any Notes tendered for exchange shall be surrendered to the Trustee. The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall certify all Notes necessary to carry out exchanges as aforesaid. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled.

(c)

Notes issued in exchange for Notes that 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, by the Trustee, a statement to that effect, provided that:

(i)

Notes that have been selected or called for redemption may not be exchanged for Notes of larger denominations, and

- 24 -

(ii)

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

3.7 Charges for Registration, Transfer and Exchange

Unless otherwise provided in any Supplemental Indenture or Terms Schedule, for each Note exchanged, registered or transferred, the Trustee or other Registrar may charge the Noteholder a reasonable fee for its services and, in addition, may charge the Noteholder a reasonable amount for each new Note issued (such amounts to be agreed upon by the Trustee and the Issuer from time to time), and payment of such charges and reimbursement of the Trustee for any transfer taxes or similar governmental charges required to be paid by the Person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent thereto, provided that no charge to a Noteholder shall be made hereunder:

(a)

for any exchange or transfer of any Note applied for within the period of 45 days from and including the date of the original issue of such Note;

(b)

for any exchange of Notes in denominations in excess of $5,000 for Notes of lesser denominations, provided that the Notes surrendered for exchange shall not have been issued as a result of any previous exchange other than an exchange pursuant to subsection (a) above; or

(c)

for any exchange of any Note resulting from a partial redemption pursuant to Section 5.3.

Payment of any such charges and reimbursement of the Trustee or other Registrar for any transfer taxes or similar governmental charges required to be paid shall be made by the party requesting such exchange, registration, transfer or discharge from registration as a condition precedent thereto.

3.8 Register Open for Inspection

The Registers referred to herein shall be open for inspection by the Issuer and the Trustee and, at such reasonable cost as may be established by the Trustee, shall be open for inspection by any Noteholder at all reasonable times upon prior written notice. The Trustee and every Registrar shall, from time to time when requested to do so by the Issuer or by the Trustee, furnish the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, with a list of names and addresses of Noteholders entered on the Registers, and the principal amount and serial numbers of the Notes held by each Noteholder.

3.9 Ownership of Notes

Subject to Sections 13.20 and 13.21, the Person in whose name a Note is registered shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner thereof for all purposes of this Indenture (except as otherwise required by law) and payment of or on account of the principal of and

- 25 -

Premium and interest on such Note 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 Issuer, the Trustee, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid.

If a Note 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 Issuer, the Trustee, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, all payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note 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 Note. Each such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Issuer, the Trustee, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid.

The receipt by any Holder of any principal, interest or Premium shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Issuer, the Trustee, any Registrar and any Paying Agent for the amount so paid, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, any Registrar nor any Paying Agent shall be bound to inquire into the title of any such Holder.

3.10 Evidence of Ownership

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

3.11 No Notice of Trusts

None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be bound to take notice of or see to the performance or observance of any duty owed to a third party (whether under a trust (express, implied, resulting or constructive) in respect of any Note or otherwise) by the beneficial owner or the Holder of a Note or any Person whom the Issuer or the Trustee treats, as permitted or required by law or hereunder, as the beneficial owner or the Holder of such Note, and the Issuer, the Trustee or any Registrar may transfer such Note 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 absolute owner of such Note.

3.12 Joint Noteholders

In the case of the death of one or more joint registered Noteholders, and receipt by the Trustee of satisfactory documentation evidencing same, the principal, interest and Premium, and interest on Notes so registered may be paid by cheque to the survivor or survivors of such registered Noteholders whose receipt therefor shall constitute a valid discharge to the Trustee and any Registrar and to the Issuer, unless such cheque shall not be paid on presentation at any one of the places where such principal, interest and Premium is payable pursuant to the terms of such Note.

- 26 -

3.13 Issuer Not Liable in Respect of Depository or Participants

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or anything that may be construed or inferred herein to the contrary, and in addition to any other limitation on liability of the Issuer contained herein, the Issuer shall not have any liability in any manner whatsoever for any of the following:

ARTICLE 4

ISSUANCE OF NOTES

4.1 Issuance of Notes

The Issuer may issue, and the Trustee shall certify and deliver to or to the order of the Issuer, Notes issuable under this Indenture, but only upon receipt by the Trustee of the following:

(a)

an Officer’s Certificate stating that no default exists, or would, as a result of the issuance of such Notes, exist, in respect of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions of this Indenture or, if any such default exists or would exist as a result of the issuance of Notes, specifying the nature thereof and the action, if any, being taken by the Issuer to remedy such default;

(b)

a written order of the Issuer signed by any one or more Authorized Officers or Directors of the Issuer requesting the certification and delivery of such Notes specifying the principal amount requested to be certified and delivered and having attached a schedule (a “Terms Schedule”) specifying the date, principal amount, Maturity Date, interest rate, if any, Interest Payment Dates, and place of delivery for each Note requested to be certified and delivered or, at the option of the Issuer, a Supplemental Indenture providing for the issue of such Notes; and

- 27 -

an opinion of Counsel to the effect that all legal requirements in respect of the proposed issue of such Notes have been satisfied.

Upon the certification and delivery by the Trustee of Notes in accordance with an order of the Issuer, the Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture attached to such order of the Issuer shall be deemed to be a Schedule to and form part of this Indenture.

4.2 No Notes to Be Issued During Default

The Trustee shall not certify or deliver Notes if, at the time of such certification and delivery, the Issuer is in default under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 5

PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION AND REDEMPTION

5.1 Purchase

(a)

Subject to the provisions of any Series of Notes, the Issuer will have the right at any time and from time to time to purchase all or any of the Notes (which shall include purchase from or through an investment dealer or other market intermediary or by tender or by private contract), provided that no Event of Default would result from such purchase.

(b)

If, upon an invitation for tenders made pursuant to subsection (a) above, more Notes are tendered at the same lowest price than the Issuer is prepared to accept, the Notes to be purchased by the Issuer will be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis in such manner as the Trustee may deem equitable, from the Notes tendered by each tendering Noteholder who tendered at such lowest price. For this purpose, the Trustee may make, and from time to time amend, regulations with respect to the manner in which Notes may be so selected, and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all Noteholders, notwithstanding the fact that, as a result thereof, one or more of such Notes becomes subject to purchase in part only.

All Notes purchased pursuant to (a) and (b) above shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee and shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 5.6.

5.2 Redemption

The Issuer shall have the right at its option to redeem, either in whole at any time or in part from time to time before the Stated Maturity, Notes of any Series that, by their terms, are made so redeemable, at such rate or rates of Premium (if any), on such date or dates and on such terms and conditions as shall have been determined at the time of issue of such Notes and as shall be expressed in such Notes or in the Terms Schedule or Supplemental Indenture authorizing or providing for the issue thereof, provided that no Event of Default would result from such redemption.

- 28 -

5.3 Partial Redemption and Selection for Redemption

In the event that less than all of the Notes of any Series for the time being outstanding are at any time to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes so to be redeemed on a pro rata basis in such manner as the Trustee shall deem equitable. For this purpose, the Trustee may make regulations with regard to the manner in which such Notes may be so selected and regulations so made shall be valid and binding on all Noteholders. In the event of a partial redemption of Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, but subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, upon surrender of any Note for payment of the Redemption Price, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver without charge to the Holder or upon his or her order one or more new Notes of the same Series, maturity and rate of interest for the unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Note or Notes so surrendered. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Note” or “Notes” as used in this Article 5 shall be deemed to mean or include any part of the principal amount of any Note that, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, has become subject to redemption.

5.4 Notice of Redemption

Notice of intention to redeem any Notes shall be given by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes that 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes that 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 Notes which are to be redeemed or, if such Notes are selected by terminal digit or other similar system, such particulars as may be sufficient to identify the Notes so selected;

(c)

in the case of Book Entry Only Notes, that the redemption shall take place in such manner as may be agreed by the Depository, the Trustee and the Issuer; and

(d)

in all cases, the principal amount of each Note to be redeemed or, if any such Note 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 Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, not later than the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date for such Notes, a certificate of the Issuer signed by any one or more Authorized Officers or Directors of the Issuer that specifies the Redemption Price of such Notes.

- 29 -

5.5 Payment of Redemption Price

Upon notice of redemption having been given as specified in Section 5.4, all the Notes 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 Notes, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Redemption Date, if the money necessary to redeem such Notes shall have been paid or deposited with the Trustee in trust and proof satisfactory to the Trustee as to the publication or mailing of such notice shall have been lodged with the Trustee, such Notes shall not be considered as outstanding hereunder and interest upon such Notes shall cease.

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

5.6 Cancellation of Notes

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.3 as to Notes purchased or redeemed in part, all Notes redeemed or purchased in whole or in part by the Issuer under the provisions of this Article shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee at the principal office of the Trustee in Toronto, Ontario, and no Notes shall be issued in substitution therefor.

ARTICLE 6

GUARANTEE

6.1 Guarantors

The Issuer covenants that prior to or upon the issuance of the first Series of Notes, and prior to or upon the issuance of each Series of Notes thereafter, the Issuer will (i) cause each Guarantor to provide a joint and several guarantee of the Notes substantially in the form of the guarantee attached hereto as Schedule “B” and (ii) cause to be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Counsel, in a form acceptable to the Trustee, acting reasonably, regarding the enforceability of such guarantee.

6.2 Representation of the Issuer

The Issuer represents and warrants that the Guarantor listed in Schedule “A” hereto is the only Guarantor as of the date of execution of this Indenture.

6.3 Addition of Guarantors

The Issuer covenants that within 45 days after any Calculation Date (or within 90 days where the Calculation Date occurs at the end of a Fiscal Year) occurring after the issue date of the first Series of Notes to be issued hereunder, the Issuer will cause any Subsidiary that, in accordance with the definition of “Guarantor” hereunder is, or that the Issuer as provided in such definition designates as, a Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee

- 30 -

a guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “B”. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer agrees to make any designation required to be made by it as provided in the definition of “Guarantor” in connection with any additional Guarantors.

6.4 Release of Guarantors

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall be conclusively deemed to release any Guarantor from its guarantee if at any time the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate indicating that the Release Conditions have been satisfied at any Calculation Date. The Issuer is also permitted and authorized to make and amend any designations as provided for in the definition of “Guarantor”. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall be conclusively deemed to release any Guarantor no longer designated as a Designee as provided in the definition of “Guarantor” upon the receipt of an Officer’s Certificate naming any replacement Guarantor(s) designated by the Issuer and the Issuer delivering a guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “B” from the replacement Guarantor(s). The guarantee of any Guarantor released as provided in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.4 shall, subject to any Guarantor being re-designated as a Guarantor as set out below, be of no further force or effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all Guarantor(s) will be released by the Trustee from their guarantees of the Notes, and their guarantees shall thereupon be of no further force or effect, if, as and when the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer that the Release Conditions were satisfied as at a particular Calculation Date; or, a particular Guarantor will be released when a replacement Guarantor is designated by the Issuer as provided for in the definition of “Guarantor” and such replacement Guarantor executes and delivers to the Trustee a guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “B”. However, if, following any release of all Guarantors under this Indenture, the Release Conditions are no longer satisfied as at any subsequent Calculation Date, the Issuer will within 45 days after such Calculation Date (or within 90 days where the Calculation Date occurs at the end of a Fiscal Year) cause one or more Subsidiaries that it designates to become Guarantors under this Indenture so that the Gross Revenues of such Guarantors aggregated with those of the Issuer meet or exceed the then-relevant Threshold, until such subsequent Calculation Date as the Release Conditions shall once again be satisfied, at which point such Guarantees shall again be released.

For purposes hereof, calculations with regard to the Gross Revenues of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and the Consolidated Gross Revenues will be made as at each Calculation Date, for the most recently completed Calculation Period or for the Calculation Period ending on such Calculation Date, as the case may be.

Given the foregoing, it is acknowledged by the Trustee on behalf of itself and the Holders, that there may be no Guarantor(s) that guarantee(s) the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes hereunder.

- 31 -

ARTICLE 7

COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION

7.1 Positive Covenants

So long as any Notes are outstanding and except as otherwise permitted by the terms hereof, the Issuer covenants and agrees with the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders:

(a)

to duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid to every Noteholder the principal, interest or Premium, if any, on the dates and at the places and in the manner specified herein and in such Notes;

(b)

to appoint a Trustee whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder;

(c)

to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable remuneration for its services hereunder, and pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in the administration or execution of the trusts hereby created (including the reasonable compensation and the disbursements of its third-party counsel and all other third-party advisers and assistants not regularly in its employ after obtaining consent or consulting with the Issuer in advance), in each case in accordance with the engagement agreement, and the fee schedule negotiated from time to time, between the Issuer and the Trustee, both before any default hereunder and thereafter until all duties of the Trustee under the trusts hereof shall be finally and fully performed, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or wilful misconduct, and after default, all amounts so payable shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Trustee or its successors in the trusts hereunder in priority to any payment of the principal, interest or Premium on, or sinking fund, with respect to the Notes and any amount due under this provision and unpaid 30 days after request for such payment shall bear interest from the expiration of such 30 day period at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, payable on demand;

(d)

on becoming aware, at any time, of any Event of Default, to promptly notify the Trustee in writing;

(e)

furnish to the Trustee copies of consolidated financial statements, whether annual or interim, of the Issuer and any report of the Auditors thereon at the same time as such financial statements are filed with securities regulatory authorities (provided that the filing of the Issuer’s financial statements, whether annual or interim and any report of the Auditors thereon on SEDAR or ▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with applicable securities laws shall satisfy the Issuer’s obligation to furnish the Trustee with copies of same);

- 32 -

(f)

within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, and at any other time upon reasonable request by the Trustee, furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer stating that, to the knowledge of the Chief Financial Officer, the Issuer 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, the period of existence thereof and the action the Issuer is taking with respect thereto; and

(g)

so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer shall not request DBRS to withdraw its rating of the Notes. In the event that DBRS withdraws its rating of the Notes, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a credit rating from another credit rating agency acceptable to the Trustee, acting reasonably.

7.2 Office for Notices, Payments and Registration of Transfer, Etc.

The Issuer will maintain in Toronto, Ontario, and in such other places as the Directors shall designate from time to time, an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for payment, transfer or exchange and for exercise of conversion rights (if any) and where notices and demands to the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The principal office of the Trustee in Toronto, Ontario, shall be such office or agency of the Issuer unless the Issuer shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more such purposes. The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the principal office of the Trustee at Toronto, Ontario.

7.3 Not to Extend Time for Payment of Interest

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11, in order to prevent any accumulation after maturity of unpaid interest on the Notes, the Issuer will not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of time for payment of interest upon any Notes or directly or indirectly be or become a party to or approve any such arrangement by purchasing or funding interest on the Notes 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 Issuer, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Notes 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 Notes and of all interest on such Notes the payment of which has not been so extended.

7.4 Negative Pledge

The Issuer covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding the Issuer will not and will not permit any Guarantor to create, incur or assume or permit to subsist, any Lien upon any part of its Property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure Borrowed Money, unless at the same time, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Issuer secures all the Notes then outstanding on an equal basis, provided that for greater certainty, and notwithstanding the foregoing, this covenant shall not apply to:

(a)

the giving of security (except on fixed assets, land and shares of Guarantors) to any bank or other lending institution or others to secure Indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business that is not a Funded Obligation;

- 33 -

(b)

the giving by the Issuer or a Guarantor of any security to the Issuer, any Subsidiary or any Related Party to secure Indebtedness of the Issuer, any Subsidiary or any Related Party, provided, however, that any Lien(s) granted to secure Borrowed Money (“Borrowed Money” for this purpose shall be read as if the definition thereof referred to “the Issuer, a Subsidiary or a Related Party” instead of “a Third Party” in each instance) between the Issuer, Subsidiaries and Related Parties, shall not in the aggregate exceed $25,000,000 at any time, unless in the opinion of the Trustee, acting reasonably, any Lien(s) in excess of $25,000,000 will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders;

(c)

the creation, incurrence, assumption or the permitting to subsist of Permitted Liens by the Issuer or a Guarantor;

(d)

a Permitted Accounts Receivable Transaction or a Permitted Sale Leaseback Transaction;

(e)

the Issuer or a Guarantor extending, renewing or refunding any security permitted under Section 7.4(a), 7.4(b), 7.4(c) or 7.4(d) above, provided that the principal amount of Borrowed Money secured thereby is not in excess of the principal amount thereof on the date of such extension, renewal or refunding, the security does not extend to any additional Property of the Issuer or such Guarantor, and immediately after such extension, renewal or refunding, no Event of Default would exist; or

(f)

the creation or assumption of Liens not otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the provisions in Sections 7.4(a) through 7.4(e) above and not exceeding 15%, in the aggregate, of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth, as determined as of the last day of the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the request of the Issuer to the Noteholders, the Noteholders may direct the Trustee to grant permission for the Issuer or a Guarantor to create, issue or assume any Lien without providing to the Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders) a Lien of a substantially similar nature, and ranking rateably and pari passu therewith, provided such direction is first approved by Extraordinary Resolution.

7.5 Performance of Covenants by Trustee

If the Issuer fails to perform any covenant on its part herein contained, the Trustee may, upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Issuer specifying the covenant which the Issuer has failed to perform and the action the Trustee proposes to take to perform such covenant on the Issuer’s behalf, perform any of such covenants capable of being performed by it, and

- 34 -

if any such covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, the Trustee may make such payment or expenditure with its own funds or with money borrowed by or advanced to it for such purpose, but shall be under no obligation to do so, and all sums so expended or advanced shall be repayable by the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 7.1(c), but no such performance or payment shall be deemed to relieve the Issuer from any default or continuing obligation hereunder.

ARTICLE 8

8.2 Notice of Event of Default

If an Event of Default shall occur and is continuing, the Trustee shall, within 45 days of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Noteholders in the manner provided in Section 12.2 provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to give such notice if the Trustee in good faith shall have decided that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Noteholders and shall have so advised the Issuer in writing.

8.3 Acceleration on Default

Subject to Section 8.4, if an Event of Default has occurred, the Trustee may in its discretion and shall, upon prior funding and indemnity and receipt of a requisition in writing made by Holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, or if the default shall be made only in respect of one or more Series of the Notes then outstanding, then the Trustee shall, upon prior funding and indemnity and receipt of a requisition in writing of the holders of at least 51% in principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding, declare the principal of and interest accrued on all the Notes, and all other amounts, if any, owing under the provisions of this Indenture, to be due and payable to the Trustee on demand, and the same shall forthwith become immediately due and payable to the Trustee on demand, anything therein or herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Issuer shall, on such demand, forthwith pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the principal and unpaid interest, if any, then accrued upon all such Notes (including interest on amounts in default), and all other amounts owing under the provisions of this Indenture, together with interest at the respective rates borne by the Notes from the date of such declaration to the date payment is received by the Trustee, subject to such funds necessary to pay such amounts being available in a sinking fund, if any, in respect of the Notes, in which case the Trustee will first have recourse to payment of such amounts from any such sinking fund prior to making demand for payment from the Issuer and will only seek demand for payment from the Issuer once all funds in such sinking fund are exhausted. Such payments, when received,

- 36 -

shall be deemed to have been in discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and any amounts so received by the Trustee shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 8.7.

8.4 Waiver of Default

If an Event of Default has occurred otherwise than by default in payment of the principal amount at the Maturity Date:

(a)

the Holders of the Notes then outstanding shall have power by Extraordinary Resolution pursuant to Section 11.11 to require the Trustee to waive the default or to cancel any declaration or demand made by the Trustee and the Trustee shall thereupon waive the default or cancel such declaration or demand upon such terms and conditions as such resolution shall prescribe; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Event of Default has occurred by reason of the non-observance or non-performance by the Issuer of any covenant applicable only to one or more particular Series of Notes, then the Noteholders of the outstanding Notes of that Series or those Series, as the case may be, shall be entitled by Extraordinary Resolution (or by separate Extraordinary Resolutions if more than one Series of Notes is so affected) to exercise the foregoing power as if the Notes of that Series or those Series, as the case may be, were the only Notes outstanding hereunder and the Trustee shall so act and it shall not be necessary to obtain a waiver from the Noteholders of any other Series of Notes; and

(b)

the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to institute any proceedings hereunder, shall have power to waive the default as the Trustee shall determine, in its discretion, if, in the Trustee’s opinion, the same shall have been cured or adequate satisfaction made therefor, and in such event to cancel any such declaration or demand theretofore made by the Trustee in the exercise of its discretion, upon such terms and conditions as the Trustee may deem advisable.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of the Noteholders 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 of the Trustee or of the Noteholders 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 Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it under this Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 and to the provisions of any Extraordinary Resolution, if the Issuer fails to pay to the Trustee, forthwith after the same shall have been declared to be due and payable under Section 8.3, the principal, interest and Premium on all Notes then outstanding together with

- 37 -

any other amounts due hereunder, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Noteholders’ Request and upon being sufficiently funded and indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its name as Trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce payment of such principal of and Premium and interest on all the Notes then outstanding together with any other amounts due hereunder by such proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by law or equity as the Trustee in such request has been directed to take, or if such request contains no such direction, then by such proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by suit at law or in equity as the Trustee shall deem expedient.

The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the Holders, 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 the Trustee and of the Holders allowed in any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, a Guarantor or their respective creditors or relative to or affecting their respective Property in each case in connection with the exercise of their duty of enforcement provided for under this Section 8.5. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Noteholders by taking and holding Notes shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee), exclusively in relation to any of the aforesaid proceedings, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective Holders with authority to make and file in the respective names of the Holders or on behalf of the Holders as a class, subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the Holders 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 Holders, as may be necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the Trustee acting on the advice of the Trustee’s counsel, in order to have the respective claims of the Trustee and of the Holders against the Issuer or a Guarantor or their respective 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 Trustee, unless expressly 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 Noteholder.

The Trustee 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 its interests and the interests of the Noteholders.

All rights of action hereunder may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof on the trial or other proceedings relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the rateable benefit of the Noteholders subject to the provisions of this Indenture. In any proceeding brought by the Trustee (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

- 38 -

of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholders party to any such proceeding.

8.6 Suits by Noteholders

No Holder of any Note shall have the right to institute any action or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy authorized by this Indenture for the purpose of enforcing any rights on behalf of the Noteholders 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 bankruptcy legislation or to have the Issuer or a Guarantor wound up or to file or prove a claim in any liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, unless:

(a)

the Noteholders of such Series, by Extraordinary Resolution or by Noteholders’ Request, shall have made a request to the Trustee and the Trustee shall have been afforded 120 days to proceed to exercise the powers conferred upon it or to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its name for such purpose;

(b)

the Noteholders of such Series or any of them shall have furnished to the Trustee, when so requested by the Trustee, an indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;

(c)

the Trustee shall have failed to act within 120 days after such notification, request and provision of indemnity; and

(d)

no direction inconsistent with such Extraordinary Resolution or Noteholders’ Request has been received by the Trustee from Holders of at least 51% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series.

In such case, but not otherwise, any Noteholder acting on behalf of such Person and all other Noteholders shall be entitled to take proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction such as the Trustee might have taken under Section 8.5; but in no event shall any Noteholder or combination of Noteholders have any right to seek any other remedy or institute proceedings out of court. No one or more Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right under this Indenture or under any Note, except in accordance with the conditions and in the manner provided in this Indenture.

8.7 Application of Money

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

(a)

first, in payment or in reimbursement to the Trustee of its fee, costs, charges, expenses, borrowings, disbursements, advances or other amounts furnished

(c)

third, in payment of the surplus, if any, of such money to the Issuer or its assigns;

provided, however, that no payment shall be made pursuant to Section 8.7(b) in respect of the principal of or Premium or interest on any Note which the Trustee knows is held, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer (other than any Note pledged for value and in good faith to a Person other than the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, 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 Notes which are not so held.

8.8 Distribution of Proceeds

Payment to Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.7(b) shall be made as follows:

(a)

at least 15 days’ notice of every such payment shall be given in the manner provided in Article 12, specifying the time and place or places where the Notes are to be presented and the amount of the payment and the application thereof as between principal, interest and Premium;

(b)

payment in respect of any Note shall be made upon presentation thereof at any one of the places specified in such notice and any such Note thereby paid in full shall be surrendered, otherwise a memorandum of such payment shall be endorsed thereon; but the Trustee may in its discretion dispense with presentation and surrender or endorsement in any special case upon such indemnity being given as it shall deem sufficient; and

(c)

from and after the date of payment specified in the notice, interest shall accrue only on the amount owing on each Note after giving credit for the amount of the payment specified in such notice unless it be duly presented on or after the date so specified and payment of such amount has not been made.

- 40 -

8.9 Immunity of Shareholders, Directors and Officers

The Noteholders and the Trustee hereby waive and release any right, cause of action or remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any past, present or future incorporator, shareholder, director or officer of the Issuer or any Guarantor or of any Successor for the payment of the principal of or Premium or interest on any of the Notes or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Issuer or any Guarantor herein or in the Notes or in any guarantee.

8.10 Remedies Cumulative

No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or upon or to the Noteholders 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.

Subject to applicable law, all Notes cancelled or required to be cancelled under this or any other provision of this Indenture shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s ordinary practice when requested in writing, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Issuer a cancellation or destruction certificate in respect of the Notes so cancelled or destroyed.

9.2 Non-Presentation of Notes

If the Noteholder shall fail to present the Note for payment prior to or on the date on which the principal, interest and Premium thereon or represented thereby becomes payable either on the Maturity Date or on redemption, purchase or otherwise, either:

(b)

the Issuer may otherwise make provision in form satisfactory to the Trustee in its reasonable discretion for the payment of such amounts,

and thereupon the principal, interest and Premium payable on or represented by each Note in respect whereof such amounts have been set aside shall be deemed to have been paid and the Noteholder thereof shall thereafter have no right in respect thereof except that of

- 41 -

receiving payment of such amounts so set aside by the Trustee (without interest on such money, any such interest being the Property of the Issuer) or provided for by the Issuer upon due presentation and surrender thereof, subject always to the provisions of Section 9.4.

9.3 Paying Agent and Trustee to Repay Monies Held

Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all money then held by any Paying Agent of the Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon demand by the Issuer, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies. Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all money then held by the Trustee in respect of the Notes shall, upon demand by the Issuer, be repaid to it, and thereupon the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

9.4 Repayment of Unclaimed Monies to the Issuer

Subject to applicable law, any monies set aside under Section 9.2 in respect of any Note and not claimed by and paid to the Noteholder thereof, as provided in Section 9.2, within six years after the date of such setting aside, shall be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee, and thereupon the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money, and thereafter, such Noteholder shall have no rights in respect of such Note except to obtain payment of such money (without interest thereon) from the Issuer.

9.5 Discharge

Upon proof being given to the Trustee that the principal, interest and Premium on all of the Notes (including interest on amounts in default) and other amounts payable hereunder have been paid or satisfied, or that all of the outstanding Notes have matured or have been duly called for redemption, or the Trustee having been given irrevocable instructions by the Issuer to publish within 90 days of receipt of such instructions a notice of redemption of all the outstanding Notes, such payment or redemption has been duly and effectually provided for by payment to the Trustee or otherwise, and upon payment of all costs, charges and expenses properly incurred by the Trustee under this Indenture, or upon provision satisfactory to the Trustee being made therefor, the Trustee shall, at the request and at the expense of the Issuer, execute and deliver to the Issuer such deeds or other instruments as shall be required to evidence the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and to release the Issuer from its covenants herein contained.

9.6 Defeasance

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

(a)

the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence that the Issuer has

deposited funds or made provision for the payment of all remuneration and expenses of the Trustee as provided for hereunder to carry out its duties under this Indenture in respect of the Notes 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 Notes of such Series in each case irrevocably, pursuant to the terms of a trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee, provided that any such taxes are solely a result of the Issuer exercising the defeasance option;

(b)

no Event of Default shall result from the Issuer’s exercise of the defeasance option;

(c)

the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in Section 9.6(a) was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Noteholders over the other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(d)

the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of 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 Issuer shall be deemed to have made due provision for the depositing of funds if it deposits or causes to be deposited with the Trustee under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee (each acting reasonably), solely for the benefit of the Noteholders, money or Securities denominated in the currency in which principal is payable constituting direct obligations of Canada or an agency or instrumentality of Canada or a province of Canada whose securities are rated at least AA(low) or AA- by DBRS or S&P, respectively, or their successors, or Authorized Investments, as directed by Issuer, which will be sufficient, in the opinion of a firm of independent chartered accountants or an investment dealer acting reasonably and acceptable to the Issuer and the Trustee, to provide for payment in full of the Notes and all other amounts from time to time due and owing under this Indenture which pertain to the Notes.

The Trustee shall hold in trust all money or Securities deposited with it pursuant to this Section 9.6 and shall apply the deposited money and the money derived from such Securities in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal, interest and Premium on the Notes and, as applicable, other amounts.

- 43 -

If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or Securities in accordance with this Section 9.6 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 Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no money or Securities had been deposited pursuant to this Section 9.6 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or Securities in accordance with this Section 9.6, provided that if the Issuer has made any payment in respect of principal, interest or Premium on Notes or, as applicable, other amounts because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Noteholders to receive such payment from the money or Securities held by the Trustee.

ARTICLE 10

SUCCESSORS

10.1 Requirements for Successors

So long as any Notes issued under the Trust Indenture remain outstanding, the Issuer and any Guarantor will not enter into any transaction in which all or substantially all of the aggregate Property and assets of the Issuer and the Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, would become the property of any other Person (any such Person being referred to herein as a “Successor”), whether by way of reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise, unless:

(a)

the Issuer or a Subsidiary or another related entity which is not a Third Party, as the case may be, shall be the Successor; or

(b)

the Successor formed by the reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, or arrangement or into which the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is merged or that acquires by disposition all or substantially all of the Property and assets of the Issuer and the Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, is a Third Party that is organized and validly existing under the federal laws of Canada or any of its provinces or territories and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations under the Trust Indenture of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be; and

(c)

immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction contemplated in (a) or (b) above, (i) no Event of Default or event that with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) the rights of the Trustee and holders of the Notes under the Trust Indenture would not be materially adversely affected by such transaction.

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, the Trustee shall facilitate the same in all respects, and may give such consents and sign, execute or join in such documents and do such acts as in its discretion may be thought advisable in order that such reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, transfer, sale or other similar transaction may be carried out, and thereupon the Issuer or a Guarantor or Guarantors, as the case may be, may

11.18 Serial Meetings

If any business to be transacted at a meeting of Noteholders or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing pursuant to Section 11.16 especially affects the rights of the Noteholders of one or more Series in a manner or to an extent substantially differing from that in which it affects the rights of the Noteholders of any other Series (as to which an opinion of Counsel shall be binding on the Issuer, Trustee and Noteholder), then:

(a)

in the case of a serial meeting, reference to such fact, indicating the Notes 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”; and

(b)

in the case of a serial meeting, the Noteholders 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,

- 51 -

(i)

there are present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting Holders of at least 50% (in the case of an Ordinary Resolution or Extraordinary Resolution) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding, subject to the provisions of this Article 11 as to adjourned meetings, and

(ii)

the resolution is passed by the favourable votes of the Holders of more than 50% (or, in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution, not less than 66 ²/3%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Series voted on the resolution; or

(c)

in the case of a serial meeting, the Holders of Notes of a Series so especially affected shall not be bound by any action taken or power exercised by instrument in writing under Section 11.16 unless, in addition to the other provisions of this Article 11, such instrument is signed in one or more counterparts by the Holders of more than 50%, in the case of an Ordinary Resolution, or not less than 66 ²/3%, in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution, of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, any covenant or other provision contained herein that is expressed to be effective only so long as any Notes of a particular Series remain outstanding may be modified by the required resolution or consent of the Holders of such Series in the same manner as if the Notes of such Series were the only Notes 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 Noteholders of one or more particular Series, the provisions of this Article 11 shall apply as if the Notes of such Series were not outstanding and no notice of any such meeting need be given to the Noteholders of such Series.

11.19 Record Dates

If the Issuer shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Notes 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 Notes then outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a mandatory requirement of the Indenture Legislation, such mandatory requirement shall prevail.

(b)

The Issuer agrees that it will at all times in relation to this Indenture and any action to be taken hereunder observe and comply with and be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture Legislation.

For so long as required by applicable Canadian law, there shall be a Trustee under this Indenture. The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized under the laws of Canada or any province thereof and authorized under such laws and the laws of the Province of Ontario to carry on trust business therein. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 13.2, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 13.

13.3 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee

In the exercise of the rights, powers and duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith and exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances, and shall duly observe and comply with the provisions of any legislation and regulations which relate to the functions or role of the Trustee as a fiduciary hereunder.

- 54 -

Subject to the Trustee’s compliance with this Indenture, none of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers nor shall the Trustee be so compelled pursuant to any provisions contained in this Indenture unless the Trustee is indemnified and funded as required in this Indenture.

The Trustee, upon the occurrence or at any time during the continuance of any act, action or proceeding, may require the Noteholders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with it Notes held by them, for which Notes the Trustee shall issue receipts.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, every provision of this Indenture that by its terms relieves the Trustee of liability or entitles the Trustee to rely or act upon any evidence submitted to it is subject to the provisions of the Indenture Legislation, this Section 13.3 and Section 13.4.

No provision of this Indenture shall operate to confer any obligation, duty or power on the Trustee in any jurisdiction in which it does not have the legal capacity required to assume, hold or carry out such obligation, duty or power. For the purposes of this Section 13.3, legal capacity includes the capacity to act as a fiduciary in such jurisdiction.

13.4 No Conflict of Interest

The Trustee represents to the Issuer that at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture there exists no material conflict of interest in the Trustee’s role as a fiduciary hereunder. If at any time a material conflict of interest comes into existence in respect of the Trustee’s role as a fiduciary under this Indenture that is not eliminated within 90 days after the Trustee becomes aware that such a material conflict of interest exists, the Trustee shall resign from the trusts under this Indenture by giving notice in writing of such resignation and the nature of such conflict to the Issuer at least 21 days prior to the date upon which such resignation is to take effect. The validity and enforceability of this Indenture and any Notes shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only of the existence of a material conflict of interest of the Trustee.

13.5 Conditions Precedent to Trustee’s Obligation to Act

The Trustee shall not be bound to give any notice or take any action or proceeding unless it is required to do so under the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice of an Event of Default under this Indenture, other than in respect of payment of any money required by any provision of this Indenture to be paid to it, unless and until the Trustee is notified in writing of such Event of Default by any Noteholder or the Issuer. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may for all purposes of this Indenture assume that no Event of Default has occurred.

The Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate setting out the names and sample signatures of the Authorized Officers, from time to time. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such certificate until a revised certificate is provided to it. The Trustee shall be entitled to refuse to act upon any instructions given by a party which are signed by any person other than a person described in the incumbency certificate provided to it pursuant to this Section 13.5.

- 55 -

The obligation of the Trustee to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding under this Indenture shall be conditional upon its receipt of the following:

sufficient funds to commence or continue such act, action or proceeding, and

(c)

an indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to protect and hold harmless the Trustee against the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damages it may suffer by reason thereof (except to the extent of the Trustee’s negligence, wilful misconduct, failure to act in good faith, or undisclosed conflict of interest).

13.6 Replacement of Trustee

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 13.6 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 13.7.

The Trustee may resign its trust, and be discharged from all duties and liabilities arising hereunder after the date that a successor trustee has been appointed, by giving to the Issuer two months’ notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Issuer may accept as sufficient. The Noteholders, by Extraordinary Resolution, shall have the power at any time to remove the Trustee and appoint a new Trustee, provided that the engagement of such new Trustee is on terms no less favourable to the Issuer than the terms under the then current engagement of the removed Trustee and such new Trustee shall be bound by and subject to the terms of this Trust Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures. The Issuer may remove the Trustee on two months’ notice in writing to the Trustee or on such shorter notice as the Trustee may accept as sufficient. In the event of the Trustee resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Issuer shall forthwith appoint a new trustee unless a new Trustee has already been appointed by Noteholders; failing such appointment by the Issuer, the retiring Trustee, at the Issuer’ expense, or any of the Noteholders may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction on such notice as such court may direct, for the appointment of a new trustee. Any new trustee appointed under any provision of this Section 13.6 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Ontario and every other jurisdiction where such authorization is necessary to enable it to act as Trustee hereunder. On any new appointment the new trustee shall be vested with the same property powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed provided, however, that the new Trustee will assume no liabilities relating to acts or omissions of any prior Trustee or otherwise under this Indenture prior to the date of appointment of the new Trustee. For greater certainty, there shall be immediately executed at the expense of the Issuer, all such conveyances or other instruments as may, in the opinion of Counsel, be necessary or advisable for the purpose of assuring the same to the new trustee.

- 56 -

13.7 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Noteholders and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by and subject to the terms of this Trust Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Trust Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures, provided, however, that the new Trustee will assume no liabilities relating to acts or omissions of any prior Trustee, or otherwise, under this Indenture prior to the date of appointment of the new Trustee. For greater certainty, on request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of all amounts due it under Section 7.1(c), execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder subject to the claim provided for in Section 7.1(c). Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and conforming to such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 13.

13.8 Trustee May Deal in Notes

Subject to Sections 13.3 and 13.4, the Trustee may buy, sell, lend upon and deal in the Notes and generally contract and enter into financial transactions with the Issuer or otherwise, without being liable to account for any profits made thereby.

13.9 No Person Dealing with Trustee Need Inquire

No Person dealing with the Trustee shall be required to inquire as to whether the powers that the Trustee is purporting to exercise have become exercisable, or whether any amount remains due upon the Notes or to see to the application of any amount paid to the Trustee.

Any Securities or other instruments that may at any time be held by the Trustee subject to the terms hereof, will, upon receipt of a written direction from the Issuer, be invested in an Authorized Investment by the Trustee in its name in accordance with such direction. Any direction from the Issuer to the Trustee shall be in writing and shall be provided to the Trustee no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day on which the investment is to be made. Any such direction received by the Trustee after 9:00 a.m. or received on a day that is not a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been given prior to 9:00 a.m. the next Business Day. For the purposes hereof, “Authorized Investments” means short term interest bearing or discount debt obligations that are direct obligations of Canada or an agency or instrumentality of Canada, a province of a Canada or a chartered bank (which may include a Trustee Affiliate or related party of the Trustee), provided that such obligation is rated, as

- 57 -

applicable, at least in one of the three highest sub-categories of short-term debt of R1 (high), R1 (mid) or R1(low) or for long term debt AA(low) or greater by DBRS or an equivalent rating by S&P, respectively, or their successors.

Subject to any written direction by the Issuer to invest cash in an Authorized Investment, the Trustee may hold cash balances constituting part or all of the fund and may, but need not, invest same in its deposit department or the deposit department of a Trustee Affiliate and, in such case, the Trustee and its Trustee Affiliates shall not be liable to account for any profit to any parties to this Agreement or to any other person or entity other than at a rate, if any, established from time to time by the Trustee or one of its Trustee Affiliates. For the purpose of this Section, “Trustee Affiliate” means affiliated corporations within the meaning of the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”); and includes The Bank of New York Mellon and its affiliates within the meaning of the CBCA.

The Trustee shall not be held liable for any losses incurred in the investment of any funds in Authorized Investments.

All interest or other income received by the Trustee in respect of any investment or deposit made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.9, shall belong to the Issuer, and the Trustee shall pay over to the Issuer all such interest and other income forthwith upon receipt thereof by the Trustee.

ARTICLE 6

GROSS-UP FOR WITHHOLDING TAXES

6.1 Gross-up for Withholding Taxes on Payments by Non-resident Guarantors

In the case of a Guarantor that is a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a “Non-resident Guarantor”), all payments made by or on behalf of such Non-resident Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Trust Indenture or under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of a governmental authority in a jurisdiction (other than Canada) where the Non-resident Guarantor is resident, carries on business, engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or otherwise has some connection thereto (“Relevant Jurisdiction”) or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (“Withholding Taxes”), unless such Non-resident Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Withholding Taxes by the law of the Relevant Jurisdiction or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If a Non-resident Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Withholding Taxes from any payment made by or on behalf of such Non-resident Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Trust Indenture or under or with respect to the Notes, such Non-resident Guarantor will pay to each Noteholder such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each such Noteholder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Withholding Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such Noteholder would have received if such Withholding Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. However, no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Noteholder under a Note (such Noteholder, an “Excluded Noteholder”):

(a)

where the beneficial owner of the Note does not deal at arm’s length (for the purpose of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with the Issuer at the time of the making of such payment;

(b)

that is subject to such Withholding Taxes by reason of the beneficial owner of the Note being a resident, carrying on business, engaged in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or otherwise having some connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Withholding Taxes otherwise than by the mere holding of Notes, the receipt of payments thereunder or enforcement of its rights in respect thereof; or

(c)

that is subject to such Withholding Taxes by reason of the failure by the beneficial owner of the Note to comply with any certification, identification or documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Withholding Taxes (provided that the Non-resident Guarantor shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Noteholders of the Notes then outstanding of such requirements and any change in such requirements).

- 5 -

provided, further, however, the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply with respect to any payment made to a Noteholder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Noteholder.

6.2 Withholding Taxes Remittance

A Non-resident Guarantor will also:

(a)

make such withholding or deduction in respect of Withholding Taxes as is required by law or by the administration or interpretation thereof and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law, regulation or administrative practice; and

(b)

furnish to the Noteholders, within 60 days after the day the payment of any Withholding Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, regulation or administrative practice, certificated copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencing such payment by the Non-resident Guarantor.

6.3 Withholding Taxes Indemnity

In the event that a Withholding Tax is levied or imposed on a Noteholder by a Relevant Jurisdiction, the Non-resident Guarantor will indemnify and hold harmless each such Noteholder (other than an Excluded Noteholder) and, upon written request, reimburse each such Noteholder for the amount (excluding any Additional Amounts that have previously been paid by the Non-resident Guarantor with respect thereto) of:

(a)

any Withholding Taxes levied or imposed and paid by such Noteholder as a result of payments made under this Guarantee, the Trust Indenture or under or with respect to the Notes;

(b)

any liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; and

(c)

any Withholding Taxes imposed with respect to any payment under paragraph (a) or (b) in this subsection.

6.4 Survival of Gross-up for Withholding Taxes Provisions

The provisions of Section 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 shall survive any termination or discharge of this Guarantee, the Trust Indenture and shall survive the defeasance or repayment of all or any of the Notes.
