(or if Bloomberg L.P. does not then operate such newswire service, any similar agency). Additionally, in the event that the Securities are in definitive registered form, notices will be sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy to the Trustees and the Paying Agent, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register. If and so long as any Securities are represented by one or more Global Securities and ownership of book-entry interests therein are shown on the records of DTC or any successor depository, at the request of the Corporation, notices will be delivered to each such clearing agency for communication to the owners of such book-entry interests, with a copy to the Trustees and the Agents. Notices given by publication will be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made and notices given by first-class mail, post prepaid, will be deemed given five calendar days after mailing.

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 Trustees, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(a) sufficient copies of all documents (including the Indenture) required pursuant to the Offering Memorandum and applicable law, to be available for issue or inspection; and

Any Paying Agent, once provided with the documents described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence, shall, at the request of Holders, issue voting certificates and block voting instructions in a manner which complies with the provisions of Article Twelve – Meetings Of Holders and with the instructions given by the Corporation pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence.

Section 1.14 Legal Holidays

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Change of Control Purchase Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or other due date for the payment of money in respect of the Securities shall not be a Business Day then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of any interest or principal (or premium, if any) otherwise due on such Interest Payment Date, Change of Control Purchase Date, Redemption Date or other date or at such Stated Maturity, as the case may be, need not be made to a Paying Agent on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though made on such Interest Payment Date, Change of Control Purchase Date or Redemption Date or other date, or at such Stated Maturity, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Change of Control Purchase Date, Redemption Date, other date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.15 Counterparts

Section 1.16 Agent for Process; Submission to Jurisdiction

By its execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation irrevocably designates and appoints CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, 13[th] 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 suit, action 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 the Authorized Agent, together with written notice of such service to the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 1.06 – Notices, Etc., to Corporation , shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Corporation in any such suit, action 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 jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding and waives any objection it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, 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 Trustees and all Holders of the designation by the Corporation 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 documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue the designation and appointment of 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 1.17 Currency Indemnity

The Contractual Currency is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Corporation under or in connection with the Securities and this Indenture,

23

including damages. Any amount received or recovered in currency other than the Contractual Currency in respect of the Securities (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, any Subsidiary or otherwise) by the Holder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Corporation shall constitute a discharge of the Corporation only to the extent of the Contractual Currency amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not possible to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is possible to do so). If that purchased amount is less than the Contractual Currency amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Security, the Corporation shall indemnify the recipient against any loss sustained by it as a result. For the purposes of this indemnity, it will be sufficient for the Holder to certify (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had the actual purchase of Contractual Currency been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of Contractual Currency on such date had not been possible, on the first date on which it would have been possible). The foregoing indemnity will, to the extent permitted by law: (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations of the Corporation; (ii) give rise to a separate and independent cause of action; (iii) apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder; and (iv) continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Security or any other judgment or order.

Section 1.18 Shareholders, Officers and Directors Exempt from Individual Liability

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Corporation, or any parent company, Subsidiary or Affiliate of any such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Corporation under this Indenture or the Securities or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

Section 1.19 Force Majeure

No party hereto shall be liable to any other, or held in breach of this Indenture, if prevented, hindered, or delayed in the performance or observance of any provision contained herein by reason of act of God, riots, terrorism, acts of war, epidemics, governmental action or judicial order, earthquakes, or any other similar causes (including, but not limited to, mechanical, electronic or communication interruptions, disruptions or failures). Performance times under this Indenture shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of any delay that is excusable under this Section.

Section 1.20 Privacy Matters

The parties acknowledge that Canadian federal and/or provincial legislation that addresses the protection of individuals’ personal information (collectively, “ Canadian Privacy Laws ”) applies to obligations and activities under this Indenture. The Corporation shall not take or direct any action that would contravene applicable Canadian Privacy Laws. The Corporation shall, prior to transferring or causing to be transferred personal information to the Trustees,

24

obtain and retain required consents of the relevant individuals to the collection, use and disclosure of their personal information, or shall have determined that such consents have previously been given upon which the parties can rely or are not required under the Canadian Privacy Laws. The Canadian Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its services hereunder comply with Canadian Privacy Laws. Specifically, the Canadian Trustee agrees: (i) to have a designated chief privacy officer; (ii) to maintain policies and procedures to protect personal information and to receive and respond to any privacy complaint or inquiry; (iii) to use personal information solely for the purposes of providing its services under or ancillary to this Indenture and not to use it for any other purpose except with the consent of or direction from the Corporation or the individual involved; (iv) not to sell or otherwise improperly disclose personal information to any third party; and (v) to employ administrative, physical and technological safeguards to reasonably secure and protect personal information against loss, theft, or unauthorized access, use or modification.

Section 1.21 USA PATRIOT Act

In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“ Applicable Law ”), the Global Trustee is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Global Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Global Trustee, upon their request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Global Trustee to comply with Applicable Law.

ARTICLE THREE THE SECURITIES

Section 3.01 Title and Terms

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$1,000,000,000; provided, however , that the Corporation may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, “reopen” the series of Securities established hereunder by increasing the aggregate principal amount of such series and issue Additional Securities in the future. Any Securities issued in connection with such a reopening shall have the same terms as the then Outstanding Securities other than the Issue Date and the date on which interest shall begin to accrue, provided , that if the Additional Securities are not fungible with the Outstanding Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Securities will be issued with a separate CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code and/or other identification numbers. The previously issued Securities, and any Additional Securities issued by the Corporation in connection with any such reopening, shall constitute a single series of Securities for all purposes of this Indenture.

The Securities shall be known and designated as the “7.500% Senior Notes due 2024” of the Corporation. The Stated Maturity of the Securities shall be set forth in the Securities. The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article Ten – Redemption Of Securities 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 equal to 7.500% from the Issue Date 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 in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

29

The Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date is May 15 (in the case of the June 1 Interest Payment Date) and November 15 (in the case of the December 1 Interest Payment Date) (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

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, any of its Assistant Secretaries, 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 any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security which has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustees. 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 Trustees 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 Trustees for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver such Securities in accordance with such Corporation Order.

A Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if such Trustee, being advised by Counsel, shall determine that such action may not lawfully be taken or if such Trustee shall in good faith, by any one of its Responsible Officers, determine that such action would expose such Trustee to personal liability to the Holders of the Securities then Outstanding or would affect such Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under the Securities or this Indenture in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to such Trustee.

In the case of Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustees 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 deposited with the Global Trustee as custodian for the Depositary therefor and registered in the name of such Depositary or its nominee and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

30

“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 Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.”

Each Depositary must at all times while it serves as a Depositary be a clearing agency registered under the 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 principal Registrar for cancellation as provided in Section 3.12 – Cancellation , 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 minimum denominations of US$2,000 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 Trustees, 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 Trustees 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 Trustees, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provision of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustees 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 Trustees for authentication definitive Securities, and thereupon temporary registered Securities may be surrendered to a Transfer Agent in exchange for definitive registered Securities, without charge. Each Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for temporary Securities so surrendered an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities in authorized denominations. Until

31

so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

Section 3.05 Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent

The Corporation shall maintain an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for registration, transfer or exchange (a “ Registrar ”), an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for transfer or exchange (a “ Transfer Agent ”) and an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for payment and through which the Corporation shall make payments on the Securities (a “ Paying Agent ”). The Corporation may appoint one or more co-Registrars, one or more Transfer Agents and one or more Paying Agents, and the terms “Registrar”, “Transfer Agent” and “Paying Agent” shall include any such co-Registrars, additional Transfer Agents and additional Paying Agents, respectively.

The Corporation shall maintain a Registrar in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

The Corporation hereby initially appoints Computershare Trust Company of Canada, located at 1500 Robert-Bourassa Boulevard, Suite 700, Montreal Québec, H3A 3S8 Canada, as a Registrar and a Transfer Agent, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada hereby accepts each such appointment.

The Corporation shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent that is not a party to this Indenture. Such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Corporation shall notify the Trustees of the name and address of any such agent. If the Corporation fails to maintain a Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Global Trustee shall, to the extent the Global Trustee determines that it is able, act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 6.08 – Compensation and Reimbursement . The Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may act as a Registrar, a Transfer Agent or a Paying Agent.

The Corporation may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent upon written notice to such Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, and to the Trustees, without prior notice to the Holders; provided , however , that if such removal would cause a vacancy in the office of a Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent required to be maintained by the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05, then no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as

32

evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Corporation and such successor Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustees or (ii) notification to the Trustees that a Trustee shall, to the extent that such Trustee determines that it is able, serve as such successor Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above; provided , further , that in no event may the Corporation appoint a Paying Agent in any member state of the European Union where such Paying Agent would be obliged to withhold or deduct tax in connection with any payment made by it in relation to the Securities unless such Paying Agent would be so obliged if it were located in all other member states. A Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent may resign by providing 30 days’ written notice to the Corporation and the Trustees.

The obligations of each Agent hereunder are several and not joint. No Agent shall be obligated to make any payments to Holders hereunder until such time as it has received funds therefor from or on behalf of the Corporation.

Section 3.06 Registration, Transfer and Exchange

Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, each Registrar shall maintain a register (the “ Security Register ”) at its corporate trust office in which, subject to such reasonable regulations it may prescribe, such Registrar shall provide for the registration of ownership, exchange and transfer of the Securities. The Holder of any Security shall be entitled to inspect the Security Register at any time during normal business hours of the respective Registrar at its corporate trust office and to make extracts therefrom. 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.

Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

Registration in the Security Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of a Security. Prior to the registration of transfer of any Security, the Corporation, and each of the Trustees, the Registrars, the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents, and any agent of any such Person, may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on, such Security, and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Corporation nor any Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or agent of the Corporation or any such other Person shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Included in the books and records for the Securities shall be notations as to whether such Securities have been paid, exchanged or transferred, canceled, lost, wrongfully taken, mutilated or destroyed and whether such Securities have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Securities, the Registrars shall keep a record of the Security so replaced and the Security issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Securities, the Registrars shall keep a record of the Security so canceled and the date on which such Security was canceled. If there is any discrepancy between the Security Register

33

maintained by the U.S. Registrar and any other Registrar, the Security Register maintained by the U.S. Registrar shall control.

If neither Trustee is a Registrar, the Corporation shall furnish, or cause a Registrar to furnish, to the Trustees in writing no later than five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as either Trustee may request in writing (including to comply with its duties under Section 85(1) of the Canada Business Corporations Act ), a list in such form, and as of the Regular Record Date in respect of such Interest Payment Date, as such Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of the Securities held by each Holder.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security to a Transfer Agent, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees one or more new Securities of like tenor and terms in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or with respect to such Security unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person.

At the option of the Holder thereof, Securities (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for one or more Securities of like tenor and terms in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of any such Security to be exchanged to a Transfer Agent and upon payment, if the Corporation shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustees 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 either Trustee or the principal Registrar, and such Trustee or Registrar shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Corporation.

All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment (including in connection with any Change of Control Offer) shall (if so required by the Corporation, a Transfer Agent, a Paying Agent or a Trustee, as applicable) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and each such Trustee, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder or other appropriate Person.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

The Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities; but unless otherwise provided in the Securities to be exchanged or transferred, no service charge shall be made for any such transaction.

Neither the Corporation nor any Trustee, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Security (i) for a period of 15 calendar days immediately

34

prior to any Redemption Date, (ii) for a period of 15 calendar days immediately prior to the date fixed for selection of Securities to be redeemed in part, (iii) for a period of 15 calendar days immediately prior to any Regular Record Date or Special Record Date or (iv) which the Holder thereof has tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Section 3.07 Definitive Certificated Securities

If at any time a Depositary for any Securities represented by one or more Global Securities shall notify the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Securities or if at any time any such Depositary shall no longer be eligible to continue as Depositary, the Corporation shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities held by such Depositary. If a successor Depositary 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 Trustees 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 Depositary.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Securities and the Depositary shall have requested in writing (or a beneficial owner of the Securities shall have requested through the Depositary) the issuance of certificated Securities following such an occurrence, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Trustees, together with a Corporation Order, and the Trustees 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 or Registrar to which such Global Security is surrendered, and such Trustee or principal Registrar 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 Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its Participants or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustees or an agent of the Corporation or a Trustee. The Trustees or such agent thereof 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

35

benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

The Registrars shall not register a transfer of any Security unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer contained in this Indenture and in such respective legend. In connection with any transfer of a Security, each Holder and owner agrees by its acceptance of such Security or beneficial interest therein to furnish to a Registrar, a Transfer Agent and the Corporation such certifications, legal opinions and other information as any of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that neither a Registrar nor a Transfer Agent shall be required to determine (but may rely conclusively on a determination made by the Corporation with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certification, legal opinion or other information.

Section 3.09 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Wrongfully Taken Securities

If a mutilated or defaced Security is surrendered to a Registrar, or if the Holder of a Security claims that such Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue and execute, and the Trustees upon receipt of a Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver, a substitute Security; provided , that , with respect to such a Security that is claimed to be lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code shall be met, such that such Holder (i) notifies the Corporation or a Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and a Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (ii) makes such request to the Corporation or a Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustees. In addition, in each case, the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustees and any agent of the Corporation or any Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and, in each case of destruction, loss or wrongful taking, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or wrongful taking, as the case may be, of such Security and of the ownership thereof and, in each case of mutilation or defacement, shall surrender the Security to a Trustee or such agent.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security under this Section, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of each

39

Trustee or its agent) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full or has been tendered in full (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or otherwise, shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken, the Corporation may, instead of issuing a substitute Security therefor, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Corporation and to each Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or a Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in each case of destruction, loss or wrongful taking, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or wrongful taking, as the case may be, of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 3.10 Defaulted Interest

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“ Defaulted Interest ”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Corporation, at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Corporation may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names the Securities or whose entitlements to interest are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Corporation shall notify the Trustees in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Corporation shall deposit with a Trustee (to an account specified by such Trustee) an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustees for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this paragraph provided. Thereupon, the Trustees shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustees of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustees shall promptly notify the Corporation of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation, shall cause notice of

40

the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of the Securities or each Person so entitled to interest at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities or whose entitlements to interest or Additional Amounts are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.

(b) The Corporation may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, after notice given by the Corporation to the Trustees of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 3.10(b).

Section 3.11 Persons Deemed Owners

The Corporation, and each of the Trustees, the Registrars, the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents, and any agent of any such Person, may treat the Holder of a Security as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such payment in respect of such Security shall be overdue, and none of the Corporation, the Trustees, the Registrars, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agents and such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Without limiting Section 9.01 – Payment of Principal, any Premium, and Interest , all such payments so made to any such Person or Holder, or upon the order of any such Person or Holder, shall be valid and, to the extent of the amounts so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the indebtedness on each such Security.

Section 3.12 Cancellation

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation or any agent of a Trustee, shall be delivered to the principal Registrar for cancellation or if surrendered to the principal Registrar, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The principal Registrar shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it and promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Corporation. If the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the principal Registrar or a Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.13 Computation of Interest

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30day months.

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) wherever any interest or fee or other amount under this Indenture or the Securities is calculated using a rate based on a number of

41

days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (A) the applicable rate, (B) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends and (C) divided by the number of days comprising such calculation basis, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Indenture or the Securities and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Indenture and the Securities are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Section 3.14 CUSIP, ISIN and/or Common Code Numbers

The Corporation in issuing Securities may obtain CUSIP, ISIN and/or Common Code numbers (if then generally in use) or other identifying numbers, and, if so obtained, the Trustees shall use such numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustees, the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other identifying numbers.

Section 3.15 Paying Agents to Hold Money

No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on each due date of an installment of principal of, or premium, Additional Amounts or interest on, a Security, the Corporation shall deposit with one or more Paying Agents an aggregate amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay each such installment of principal, premium, Additional Amounts and interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Securities. The Corporation shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustees to agree in writing (and the U.S. Paying Agent does so hereby agree) that such Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustees all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, Additional Amounts or interest on, the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Corporation or any other obligor on the Securities), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify, in writing, the Trustees of any default by the Corporation (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. The Corporation at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to one or more of the Trustees and account for any funds disbursed, and a Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustees and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustees. If the Corporation acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any principal of, or premium, Additional Amounts or interest on, a Security, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holder of such Security a sum of money sufficient to pay all of such principal, premium, Additional Amounts and interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holder or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustees of its action or failure to act.

42

Subject to applicable escheat laws, any money deposited with a Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Corporation, in trust for the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Corporation on Corporation Request, or if then held by the Corporation shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Corporation for payment of such principal, premium or interest on such Security and all liability of such Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Corporation as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided , however , that such Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Corporation cause to be published once, through a recognized newswire service, or to be mailed to Holders, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall be not less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Corporation.

The Corporation’s obligation to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities will cease if the Securities are not presented for payment within a period of ten years and a claim for interest is not made within five years from the date on which such principal, premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, becomes due and payable.

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity Date

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities at the time Outstanding shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case a Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may, and a Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, any Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to a Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities), and upon any such declaration such principal, premium, if any, any Additional Amounts and interest shall become due and payable immediately.

The Corporation covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity Date thereof,

the Corporation shall, upon demand of a Trustee, forthwith pay to either Trustee (to an account specified by a Trustee), for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities, for the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest accrued to the date of such payment on all such Securities and all other money owing under the provisions of this Indenture in respect of such Securities, together with interest from the date of

46

such demand to the date of such payment upon overdue principal and premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and on such other money at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of each Trustee, its agents and Counsel, except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

Until such demand shall be made by a Trustee, the Corporation shall pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities to the Holders in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, whether or not payment of any amount in respect of such Securities shall be overdue.

If the Corporation fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, a Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Corporation and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, a Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by pursuing any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity as such Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Trustee shall, within 30 Business Days after a Responsible Officer becomes aware of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default (including describing the circumstances of such Event of Default) to the Holders of the Securities then Outstanding affected thereby in the manner provided in Section 1.07 – Notice to Holders; Waiver , provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Trustee shall not be required to give such notice if the other Trustee has previously given such notice and (ii) except in the case of any Event of Default described in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.01 – Event of Default , a Trustee shall not be required to give such notice if such Trustee in good faith shall have determined that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Holders of the Securities then Outstanding affected thereby and shall have so advised the Corporation in writing. Where a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default has been given to the Holders of such Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Event of Default is thereafter cured, one or both of the Trustees shall give notice that the Event of Default is no longer continuing to the Holders of the Securities within 30 days after a Responsible Officer of a Trustee becomes aware that the Event of Default has been cured.

Section 5.03 Rescission and Annulment

After a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity Date with respect to Securities as provided in Section 5.02 – Acceleration of Maturity Date hereof, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as herein below in this Article

47

provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding shall have the power exercisable by the Act of such Holders to, by written notice to the Corporation and the Trustees, direct the Trustees to rescind and annul the default or cancel the declaration made by a Trustee, or to both rescind and annul such default and cancel such declaration, and the Trustee shall thereupon rescind and annul the default or cancel the declaration or do both, and cancel the consequences thereof if:

(a) the Corporation has paid or deposited with a Trustee (to an account specified by such Trustee) a sum sufficient to pay:

  • (i) all overdue interest and Additional Amounts on all Securities then Outstanding,

(b) all Events of Default with respect to the Securities, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts and interest on the Securities which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided herein;

provided that no such rescission, annulment or cancellation shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of the Securities by a Trustee or to a Trustee’s certificate of

60

authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of such Trustee by any Authenticating Agent of such Trustee and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of such Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. 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 (or the equivalent in other currencies) 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.

The Canadian Trustee hereby appoints and authorizes the Global Trustee to act as its Authenticating Agent with respect to the Securities.

Any Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustees and to the Corporation. A Trustee may at any time terminate the appointment of any Authenticating Agent of such Trustee by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Corporation and each other Trustee then in office. 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 respective Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Corporation and each other Trustee then in office and shall, at the expense of the Corporation, provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of the Securities and to each other Trustee then in office. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as though originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

61

The Corporation agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder.

If the Trustees are unable to agree jointly to act or refrain from acting with respect to any right, power, duty or obligation conferred jointly upon the Trustees hereunder, the Global Trustee shall be entitled to act without the Canadian Trustee, and any action by the Global Trustee, or decision of the Global Trustee to act or refrain from acting, shall be binding upon the Canadian Trustee and each other Person as if the Canadian Trustee so acted or refrained from acting.

Section 6.14 SEC Reporting
