The Corporation shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent Global Security held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.
The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument or (b) writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the Person executing the same.
The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. $\left( c \right)$
The Corporation may, at its option, fix a record date for the purpose of $(d)$ determining the identity of the Holders entitled to participate in any Act required or permitted under this Indenture, which record date shall be not earlier than 10 days prior to the first solicitation of the written instruments or vote required for such Act. If such a record date is fixed, the Persons who were the Holders of the Securities at the close of business on such record date (or their duly authorized proxies) shall be the only Persons entitled to execute written instruments or to vote with respect to such Act, or to revoke any written instrument or vote previously delivered or given, whether or not such Persons shall continue to be Holders of the Securities after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities (or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Corporation may, at its option, set an expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or
taken by any Holder shall be effective hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents). On or prior to any expiration date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Corporation may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking, after any expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, any action given or taken, or purported to have been given or taken, hereunder by a Holder on or prior to such date, in which event the Corporation may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any action to be given or taken by Holders pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02.
At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in $(e)$ paragraph (a) of this Section, of any Act by the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, any Holder of a Security, the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such Act, may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of ownership as required or permitted by this Section, revoke any written instrument or vote with respect to such Act in respect of such Security. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Corporation in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any $(f)$ action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.

In any case where notice to the Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to the other Holders. In case, by reason of the suspension or disruption of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give any such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
Where this Indenture or the Securities provide for or permit notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Agent for Process; Submission to Jurisdiction Section 1.18
By its execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation irrevocably designates and appoints CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, U.S.A. as the Corporation's authorized agent (the "Authorized Agent") upon whom process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Securities but for that purpose only, and agrees that service of process upon said CT Corporation System, and written notice of such service to the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 1.06, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Corporation in any such action, suit or proceeding in any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Corporation hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such legal action or proceeding and waives any objection it may have to the laying of the venue of any such legal action or proceeding. Such designation shall be irrevocable until all amounts due and to become due on or in respect of all the Securities issued under this Indenture have been paid by the Corporation pursuant to the terms hereof and the Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation reserves the right to appoint another Person located or with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, selected in its discretion, as a successor Authorized Agent, and upon acceptance of such consent to service of process by such a successor the designation of the prior Authorized Agent shall terminate. The Corporation shall give notice to the Trustee and all Holders of the designation by them of a successor Authorized Agent. If for any reason the Authorized Agent ceases to be able to act as the Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Corporation will designate a successor authorized agent in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Corporation further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue the designation and appointment of said CT Corporation System, or of any successor Authorized Agent of the Corporation, in full force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding.
Section 1.19 Judgment Currency
The Corporation agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under $(a)$ applicable law, that if for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Corporation in any court it is or becomes necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the conversion shall be made at the rate
$\mathbb{S}^{\bullet}$
of exchange at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York, the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day immediately preceding:
- the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any $(i)$ proceeding in the courts of the Province of Quebec or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or
- the date on which the final unappealable judgment is given, in the case of $(ii)$ any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction
(the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this clause being hereinafter in this Section 1.19 referred to as the "Judgment Conversion Date").
If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in $(b)$ clause (ii) of Section 1.19(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Corporation shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
The Corporation also agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so $(c)$ under applicable law, that its obligations under this Indenture and the Securities to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by the payee of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Indenture.
Section 1.20 Shareholders, Officers and Directors Exempt from Individual Liability
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Corporation or of any successor, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Trustee or any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

ARTICLE THREE THE SECURITIES
Title and Terms Section 3.01
The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture, except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to this Indenture, is limited to US\$250,000,000; provided, however, that the Corporation may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders, "reopen" the series of Securities established hereunder by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the series and issue Additional Securities in the future. Any Securities issued in connection with such a reopening shall have the same terms as the Securities other than the date of original issuance and the date on which interest shall begin to accrue. The Securities and any Additional Securities issued by the Corporation in connection
with any such reopening shall constitute a single series of Securities for purposes of this Indenture.
The Securities shall be known and designated as the "7.45% Notes due 2034" of the $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$ Corporation. The Stated Maturity of the Securities shall be set forth in the Securities. The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article Ten and the terms of the Securities. All amounts payable in respect of the Securities shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
The Securities shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the Securities from April 21, 2004 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable on each Interest Payment Date until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for.
Section 3.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by any two of the following Officers: its Chairman of the Board, its President, any of its Vice Presidents, the Secretary, the Treasurer, or any of its Assistant Treasurers. The signature of any Officer on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of such seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security which has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. A facsimile signature upon a Security shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the Person whose signature it purports to be.
In case any such Officer who shall have so executed any of the Securities shall cease to hold such office before the Security so executed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Corporation such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of and shall bind the Corporation as though the Person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such Officer; and any Security may be so executed on behalf of the Corporation by such Persons as, at the actual date of execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Corporation although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such Person was not such an officer.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation may deliver Securities executed by the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities in accordance with such Corporation Order.
The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by Counsel, shall determine that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee shall in good faith, by any one of its Responsible Officers. determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to the Holders of the Securities then Outstanding or would affect the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under the Securities or this Indenture in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
In the case of Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Corporation Order with respect to such Securities, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount specified in such Corporation Order, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository therefor or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
"Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository."
Each Depository must at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form and executed as hereinabove provided, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.10, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 3.03 Denomination of Securities
The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities in denominations of US\$100,000 and any integral multiple of US\$1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the Officers executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.
Section 3.04 Temporary Securities
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Corporation may execute, and upon Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced. Temporary Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities in any authorized denomination and substantially in the forms of the definitive Securities, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Corporation with the concurrence of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Trustee for authentication definitive Securities; and thereupon temporary registered Securities may be surrendered in exchange for definitive registered Securities without charge at each office or agency to be maintained for such purpose in a Place of Payment of the Securities, without charge at any office or agency to be maintained in a Place of Payment of the Securities. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for temporary Securities so surrendered an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities in authorized denominations.

Section 3.05 Registration, Transfer and Exchange
The Corporation shall keep, or cause to be kept, at the Corporate Trust Office, or at any office or agency to be maintained by the Corporation in a Place of Payment, a register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation will provide for the registration of Securities and the registration of transfer of Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. The Security Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated the "Security Registrar". The Holder of any Security shall be entitled to inspect the Security Register at any time during normal business hours of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and to make extracts therefrom.
The Corporation shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for the Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such Securities shall have been appointed by the Corporation and shall have accepted such appointment by the Corporation.

Whenever Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities surrendered upon any exchange or transfer
provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Corporation.

If at any time a Depository for any Securities represented by one or more Global Securities shall notify the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Securities or if at any time any such Depository shall no longer be eligible to continue as Depository, the Corporation shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Securities held by such Depository. If a successor Depository shall not be appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Global Securities. Securities in definitive form in authorized denominations for an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities held by such Depository.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Securities, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Trustee, together with a Corporation Order, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt thereof, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for Global Securities evidencing the Securities, Securities in definitive form in authorized denominations for an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Securities.
Upon the surrender for exchange of any Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Corporation. Securities in definitive form issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Corporation or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Corporation, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible $(c)$ Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

- no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk $(iv)$ its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;
- the Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have $(v)$ notice or knowledge of any default (except a default due to nonpayment) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice or obtained actual knowledge thereof; in the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default; and
- the Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing, or depositing $(vi)$ of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof.

If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Corporation or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.12, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
The Corporation shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the $(f)$ Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee.

Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
Section 6.12 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor $(a)$ Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, 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; but, on the request of the Corporation or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such 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.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, the Corporation, the $(b)$ retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall (i) contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee and (ii) add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to the extent necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture (except as specifically provided for therein) shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, and each 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, and upon payment of its outstanding fees and expenses, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to each successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.
Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Corporation shall execute any $\left( c \right)$ and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in Section 6.12(a) or (b), as the case may be.

Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Corporation and shall at all times be either (i) a corporation, limited liability company, association or company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having (together with its parent) a combined capital and surplus of not less than US\$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority or (ii) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of Canada or any province thereof, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having (together with its parent) a combined capital and surplus of not less than US\$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by governmental authority of its jurisdiction of incorporation and organization.

If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation or other Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or amalgamated, or any corporation or other Person resulting from any merger, conversion, consolidation or amalgamation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent,

The Trustee may at any time terminate the appointment of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Corporation. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Corporation and shall, at the expense of the Corporation, provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of the Securities in the manner provided in Section 6.11 with respect to the appointment of a successor Trustee.

No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.10 hereunder and no notice to Holders of the Securities of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 6.11.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 6.15, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the trust fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee. $\mathbf{u}$ and $\mathbf{u}$

by each Holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Canadian Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the Holder would have received if such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. However, no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or the beneficial owner of any Security (such Holder or beneficial owner, an "Excluded Holder"):

- $(iii)$ which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the Holder's or beneficial owner's failure to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Canadian Taxes.

- $(i)$ make such withholding or deduction; and
- $(ii)$ remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

- $(ii)$ any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; and
- $(iii)$ any Canadian Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii) above, but excluding any such Canadian Taxes on such Holder's net income.

case the principal amount secured by such Charge may not be increased); or

Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities then listed $(d)$ on any national securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act to be delisted.
In the case of a defeasance, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an (e) Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the Corporation and which will be at the expense of the Corporation) stating that (A) if the deposit referred to in paragraph (a) above shall include Government Obligations in respect of any government other than the United States of America, such deposit shall not result in the Corporation, the Trustee or such trust constituting an "investment company" under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (B) (i) the Corporation has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax laws or regulations in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income. gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

The Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and (h) an Opinion of Counsel, at the Corporation's expense, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 11.04 relating to either the defeasance under Section 11.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 11.03, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

The Corporation shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 11.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Securities for whose benefit such Government Obligations are held.

Section 11.06 Reinstatement
If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 11.05 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Corporation's obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.04 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 11.05; provided, however, that if the Corporation makes any payment of principal of or interest on any such Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
