Supplemental Information Concerning Description of Notes
Tax Redemption
We may redeem, in whole but not in part, the notes offered on a global basis through CDS at our option at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of tax redemption as described in the accompanying prospectus, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of those notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, if we determine that we have or will become obligated to pay additional amounts, as described below under “—Payment of Additional Amounts,” in accordance with “Securities Offered on a Global Basis Through the Depositary—Tax Redemption” in the accompanying prospectus.
Payment of Additional Amounts
With respect to the notes, we will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth in the accompanying prospectus, pay the additional amounts to the beneficial owner of the notes who is a U.S. Alien (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on the notes and any other amounts payable on the notes, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of the payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in the notes to be then due and payable. See “Securities Offered on a Global Basis Through the Depositary—Payment of Additional Amounts” in the accompanying prospectus.
Notes Denominated in a Foreign Currency
The notes are denominated in Canadian dollars and a beneficial owner of interests in the notes will not have the right to receive all or a portion of the payments of principal or interest in U.S. dollars.

Supplemental Information Concerning Form of Securities
Global Securities; Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
The notes will be issued in one or more registered notes in global form (i.e. global notes), initially deposited with CDS & Co., as nominee for CDS. Beneficial interests in the global notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in CDS. Investors may elect to hold interests in the global notes through any of CDS (in Canada), or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) (in Europe) or The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective Canadian subcustodians, each of which is a Canadian schedule I chartered bank (“Canadian Subcustodians”), which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in the names of the Canadian Subcustodians on the books of CDS.
CDS provides a settlement gateway between itself and the Depositary, as the Depositary is a direct participant in CDS.
The notes will be deposited with CDS & Co. as nominee of CDS for the benefit of owners of beneficial interests in the global notes, including participants of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Depositary. Principal and interest payments on the global notes deposited with CDS & Co., or any other nominee appointed by CDS, will be made on behalf of us to CDS & Co., or any other nominee appointed by CDS, and CDS will distribute the payment received to the applicable clearing system.
For as long as the notes are maintained in book-entry form at CDS, we and any paying agent shall treat CDS & Co., or any other nominee appointed by CDS, as the sole holder of such notes for all purposes. Notes, which are represented by the global notes, will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures of CDS.
The holder of the global notes shall be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect of notes represented by such global notes and we will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the holder of such global notes for each amount so paid. Each of the persons shown in the records of CDS as the beneficial holder of a particular nominal amount of notes represented by such global notes, must look solely to CDS, as the case may be, for his or her share of each payment so made by us to, or to the order of, the holder of such global notes. No person other than the holder of such global notes shall have any claim against us in respect of any payments due on such global notes.
In respect of the notes, we will at all times maintain a sub-paying agent having an office in Toronto, Canada. All notices concerning the notes will be validly given if given through the sub-paying agent.
Supplemental Information Concerning Securities Offered on a Global Basis Through the Depositary
Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures
Initial settlement for the notes will be made in immediately available Canadian dollar funds.
Secondary market trading between CDS participants will be in accordance with market conventions applicable to transactions in book-based Canadian domestic bonds. Secondary market trading between Euroclear participants and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional Eurobonds, in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between CDS and the Depositary will be processed using the standard operating procedures of the Depositary and CDS.
Links have been established among CDS, Euroclear, and Clearstream, Luxembourg to facilitate the initial issuance of the notes and cross-market transfers of the notes associated with secondary market trading. CDS will be linked to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg through the CDS accounts of the respective Canadian Subcustodians of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear.
Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through CDS participants, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants, on the other, will be effected in CDS in accordance with CDS rules; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines. The relevant clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to CDS directly or through its Canadian Subcustodian to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving notes in CDS, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for settlement in CDS. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants may not deliver instructions directly to CDS or the Canadian Subcustodians.
PS-3
Because of time-zone differences, credits of notes received in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as a result of a transaction with a CDS participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the CDS settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear participants or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants on such business day. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as a result of sales of notes by or through a Euroclear Participant or a Clearstream, Luxembourg participant to a CDS participant will be received with value on the CDS settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg cash account only as of the business day following settlement in CDS.
The information in this section concerning CDS and CDS’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. CDS may change or discontinue the foregoing procedures at any time.
Notices
Notices given to CDS, as holder of the notes, will be passed on to the beneficial owners of the notes in accordance with the standard rules and procedures of CDS and its direct and indirect participants, including Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear.
United States Federal Taxation
For a description of certain United States federal income and estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, please refer to “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
U.S. investors should also note that because the notes are denominated in Canadian dollars, special rules under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended will apply.
Both U.S. investors and non-U.S. investors should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
