Each Party shall bear and pay all costs, expenses and fees incurred by it in connection with the Transaction; provided, however, that in the event that Fund is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, Limited Partnership shall make an Expense Distribution in accordance with Sections 5.3 and Section 5.4 of the Limited Partnership Agreement to Trust in accordance with Section 2.1 in an amount sufficient to allow Fund to pay the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of CIBC World Markets Inc. in respect of the Valuation and in respect of the Fairness Opinion and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Fund in connection with the Transaction, provided further, however, that: (a) in addition to its payment obligations in respect of the solicitation of proxies at CanWest’s expense under Section 2.4(h), in the event that Fund is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, Unitholder Approval is obtained at the Meeting, and Closing does not occur as a result of: (i) the failure of the condition set out in Section 5.2(c) to be satisfied; or (ii) a breach or failure to perform any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or agreement on the part of CanWest, General Partner or Limited Partnership set forth in this Agreement, then CanWest shall reimburse Limited Partnership for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Limited Partnership in connection with the Transaction, including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of CIBC World Markets Inc. in respect of the Valuation and in respect of the Fairness Opinion and (b) in the event that the Fund Board, in accordance with Section 2.3, withdraws or modifies its recommendation that Unitholders vote in favour of the Special Resolution because (i) CIBC World Markets Inc. has rescinded, withdrawn, materially changed or failed to confirm on request of Fund, its opinion that the consideration to be paid to Unitholders under the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Unitholders, or (ii) there shall have been a change or proposed change in the income tax Laws of Canada or the interpretation or administration thereof, which change would, in the reasonable opinion of the Fund Board, amend, supersede, replace or delay the implementation of the SIFT Proposals in any material respect or otherwise materially change or alter the tax consequences of the Transaction to Unitholders, and CanWest does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(e), CanWest shall reimburse Limited Partnership for all reasonable and documented expenses, reasonably incurred by Limited Partnership or reasonably incurred by Fund after the time that the Fund Board withdraws or modifies its recommendation.

6.4

Remedies

The Parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages may be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Parties irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the Parties, the non-breaching Parties will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at Law or equity to each of the Parties.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Fund Declaration of Trust shall not apply so as to require the Trustees to declare any distribution in contravention of the terms of the Privatization Agreement or prevent the Trustees from declaring any distribution that is contemplated by the terms of the Privatization Agreement;

Any two trustees of the Fund be and are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the Fund and to deliver and to cause to be delivered, all such documents, agreements and instruments and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as they shall determine to be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions and the matters authorized thereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents, agreements or instruments or the doing of any such act or thing;

Notwithstanding that this resolution has been passed by the Unitholders, the board of trustees of the Fund, are authorized, without further notice to or approval of the Unitholders: (a) to amend the Privatization Agreement to the extent permitted by the Privatization Agreement; and/or (b) to terminate the Privatization Agreement and to not proceed with the Transaction to the extent permitted by the Privatization Agreement; and

(a) With the intent that the Trust be wound-up in accordance with section 14.2, the Trust shall complete the Final Redemption, without further act or formality, on the Final Redemption Date.

(b) The Trust shall cause to be forwarded a cheque by first class mail or a wire transfer in Canadian currency representing the Unit Redemption Price required to be made to each Trust Unitholder pursuant to Section 6.6(a). Payments made by the Trust of the applicable Unit Redemption Price are conclusively deemed to have been made upon the mailing of a cheque in a postage prepaid envelope addressed to the Trust Unitholder unless such cheque is dishonoured upon presentment or upon transmission of a wire transfer, as applicable. Upon such payment, the Trust shall be discharged from all liability to the former Trust Unitholder in respect of the Trust Units so redeemed. Under no circumstances will interest be paid to any holder on any payment to be made hereunder, regardless of any delay in making such payment.

(c) The Trust and its agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable to any Trust Unitholder as a consequence of the Final

Redemption, such amounts as the Trust or any agent is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the Code or any other provision of provincial, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Trust Unitholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

(d) Where the Trust redeems Trust Units in connection with the Final Redemption on the Final Redemption Date, the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, designate to the Trust Unitholders any income or capital gain realized by the Trust as a result of the Transaction and paid or made payable to the Trust Unitholders upon the redemption of their Trust Units.

Section 6.7 – Cancellation of all Redeemed Trust Units shall be added and read as follows:

All Trust Units that are redeemed under this Article 6 shall be cancelled as of 12:01 a.m.. on the Final Redemption Date and such Trust Units shall no longer be outstanding and shall not be reissued.

Section 7.1 – Number of Trustees shall be replaced with the following:

There shall be at all times no fewer than one (1) and no more than ten (10) Trustees, with the number of Trustees from time to time within such range being fixed by the Trustees; provided that until otherwise so determined, the number of Trustees shall be one (1).

Section 7.6 – Quorum shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

The quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Trustees shall consist of a majority of the number of Trustees then holding office, and, notwithstanding any vacancy among the number of Trustees, a quorum of Trustees may exercise all of the powers of the Trustees. In the event that only one Trustee has been appointed in accordance with this Declaration of Trust, a quorum shall consist of one Trustee.

Section 8.1 — Qualification of Trustees shall be amended to delete “(c) a person who is not an individual” as being disqualified from being a Trustee of the Trust;

For greater certainty, any amendments to the Declaration of Trust made with the consent of Trust Unitholders by Special Resolution shall not require notification under this Section 11.2;

Section 14.2 – Termination with the Approval of the Trust Unitholders shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

Section 14.2 – Termination with the Approval of the Trust Unitholders; Termination Following the Final Redemption Date

Except in respect of the Final Redemption, the Trust Unitholders may vote by Special Resolution to terminate the Trust at any meeting of Trust Unitholders duly called by the Trustees for the purpose of considering termination of the Trust. Following the approval of such termination, the Trustees shall commence to wind up the affairs of the Trust. With respect to the Final Redemption, the Trust may be terminated as and when the Trustees in their sole discretion may determine following the procedures in Sections 14.8 and 14.9 hereof.

Section 14.8 – Responsibility of the Trustees after Sale and Conversion shall be deleted replaced with the following:

Section 14.8 – Responsibility of the Trustees after Sale and Conversion

Except in respect of the proceeds from the Transaction received on the Closing Date, the Trustees shall not invest the proceeds of any sale of investments or other assets or cash forming part of the Trust Assets after the date referred to in Section 14.3 except in a current account in a Canadian chartered bank and, after such sale, the sole obligation of the Trustees under this Declaration of Trust shall be to hold such proceeds or assets in trust for distribution under Section 14.6. With respect to the proceeds from the Transaction received on the Closing Date, the Trustees shall invest such proceeds in a current account, which may be non-interest bearing, in a Canadian chartered bank until the Final Redemption Date.

Section 14.9 – Procedures for Termination Following the Final Redemption Date

Following the Final Redemption Date and after the date on which the Trustees determine to commence to wind-up the affairs of the Trust, the Trustees shall undertake no activities except for those which, subject to their sole discretion, are for the purpose of winding-up the affairs of the Trust and, for this purpose, the Trustees shall continue to be vested with and may exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Trustees under this Declaration of Trust.

Section 16.15 — Authorization of Trustee shall be added and read as follows:

FORM OF INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

TO: [Name of Trustee]

[address]

WHEREAS[Name of Trustee] (the “Indemnified Person”) is a trustee of [CanWest MediaWorks Income Fund/CWMW Trust] (the “[Fund/Trust]”) and a director of CanWest MediaWorks (Canada) Inc. (“GP”) and/or a director or officer of any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership;

AND WHEREAS the Indemnified Person has the benefit of an indemnity and the Indemnified Person and CanWest MediaWorks Limited Partnership (the “Limited Partnership”) are desirous of setting out more fully the nature thereof;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the Indemnified Person acting as a trustee of the [Fund/Trust] and a director of GP and/or a director or officer of any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Limited Partnership), the Limited Partnership hereby undertakes and agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Person upon and subject to the terms of this Indemnity Agreement:

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Limited Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Person by reason of the Indemnified Person being or having been a trustee of the [Fund/Trust] and/or a director of GP and/or a director or officer of any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership, provided that the Indemnified Person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the [Fund/Trust] and/or the Limited Partnership and/or their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, where the Indemnified Person had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

2.	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Limited Partnership shall:

(a)

indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Person from and against all costs, charges, expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of an action provided that no settlement shall be effective without the Limited Partnership’s prior written consent, acting reasonably, or in satisfaction of a judgment actually incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, to which the Indemnified Person is made a party or may be liable for by reason of the Indemnified Person being orhaving been a trustee of the [Fund/Trust] and/or a director of GP and/or a director or officer of any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership, and

(b)

undertake to seek the approval of a court, if required, to indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Person from and against all costs, charges, expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of an action or in satisfaction of a judgment actually incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, in respect of any action, suit or proceedings by or on behalf of the [Fund/Trust] and/or GP or any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership to procure a judgment in its favour to which the Indemnified Person is made a party or may be liable for by reason of the Indemnified Person being or having been a trustee of the [Fund/Trust] and/or a director of GP and/or a director or officer of any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership, provided that the Indemnified Person fulfils the conditions set out in Section 1.

For the purposes of any determination pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 hereof, the Indemnified Person shall be deemed, subject to compelling evidence to the contrary, to have fulfilled the conditions set out in Section 1, and the Limited Partnership will have the burden of establishing that the Indemnified Person did not fulfil such conditions. The knowledge and/or actions or failure to act of any other trustee, director, officer or agent of the [Fund/Trust], GP or any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership or any other entity shall not be imputed to the Indemnified Person for the purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Indemnity Agreement.

4.	The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of guilty or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the Indemnified Person did not fulfill the conditions set out in Section 1.

The Indemnified Person shall give notice in writing to the Limited Partnership as soon as practicable upon being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any claim involving the Indemnified Person which may result in a claim for indemnification under this Indemnity Agreement, and the Limited Partnership agrees to give the Indemnified Person notice in writing as soon as practicable upon it being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing or continuing any claim involving the Indemnified Person. Such notice shall include a description of the claim or threatened claim, a summary of the facts giving rise to the claim or threatened claim and, if possible, an estimate of any potential liability arising under the claim or threatened claim. Failure by the Indemnified Person to so notify Limited Partnership shall not relieve the Limited Partnership from liability under this Indemnity Agreement except and only to the extent that the failure to notify materially prejudices the Limited Partnership.

The Limited Partnership shall, at the request of the Indemnified Person, advance to the Indemnified Person sufficient funds, or arrange to pay on behalf of or reimburse the Indemnified Person for any costs, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Person in investigating, defending, appealing, preparing for, providing evidence in or instructing and receiving the advice of the Indemnified Person’s counsel or other professional advisors in regard to any claim or other matter for which the Indemnified Person may be entitled to an indemnity or reimbursement under this Indemnity Agreement, and such amounts shall be treated as a non-interest bearing advance or loan to the Indemnified Person, pending approval of the Limited Partnership or the court (if required), to the payment thereof as an indemnity. In the event it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Person did not fulfil the conditions set out in section 1 above, or that the Indemnified Person was not entitled to be fully so indemnified, such loan or advance, or the appropriate portion thereof shall, upon written notice of such determination being given by the Limited Partnership to the Indemnified Person detailing the basis for such determination, be repayable on demand and shall bear interest from the date of such notice at the prime rate prescribed from time to time by The Bank of Nova Scotia.

The Limited Partnership hereby agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Person for all taxes payable by the Indemnified Person under the taxing laws of any jurisdiction, should the reimbursement of costs, charges and expenses under this Indemnity Agreement, including this Section 7, constitute a taxable benefit to the Indemnified Person.

The Indemnification provided by this Indemnity Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Person may be entitled under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise, both as to actions in his or her official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue after he or she has ceased to be a trustee of the [Fund/Trust] and/or a director of GP and/or a director or officer of any of their respective subsidiaries or any subsidiary of the Limited Partnership.

Any section, subsection or subdivision or provision of this Indemnity Agreement which is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable shall be severed from this Indemnity Agreement and be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability and shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions thereof.

10.

The Limited Partnership hereby waives any right to set off any and all existing and future claims against any amounts payable to the Indemnified Person hereunder, and agrees to pay such amounts payable hereunder regardless of any claim which may be asserted by or on behalf of the Limited Partnership against the Indemnified Person.

11.

In connection with any proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Person may be entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Limited Partnership agrees to cooperate in defending the Indemnified Person against such proceeding consistent with its obligations under this Indemnity Agreement and shall be entitled to control of the defence of any civil claims for which indemnity is sought with counsel of its choosing, acting reasonably. The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully in such defence including, without limitation, the provision of documents, attending examinations for discovery,making affidavits, meeting with counsel, testifying and divulging to the Limited Partnership all information reasonably requested to defend or prosecute the claims.

12.	This Indemnity Agreement and the obligations of the Limited Partnership hereunder will not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or released by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding of creditors of the Limited Partnership.

13.	This Indemnity Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof.

14.	This Indemnity Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts and may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic mail and all such counterparts and facsimiles together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

15.

This Indemnity Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and the Limited Partnership hereby unconditionally attorns to the laws of such jurisdiction and to the courts of the Province of Ontario.

16.

This Indemnity Agreement and the benefits and obligations of all covenants herein contained will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Limited Partnership, its successors and assigns, and the Indemnified Person, his or her heirs and personal or other legal representatives. If the Limited Partnership or any of its successors or assigns shall at any time prior to the later of: (i) six years from the date hereof; and (ii) the date on which any outstanding claims against the Indemnified Persons for which indemnification has been sought under the terms hereof have been fully and finally resolved, have net realizable assets of less than $60 million, then the Limited Partnership and CanWest MediaWorks Inc. shall make proper provision so that an entity with net realizable assets of not less than $60 million shall assume all of the obligations of the Limited Partnership set forth in this Indemnity Agreement and for greater certainty, the foregoing obligation shall terminate on the last day of the foregoing period.

17.

The obligations under this Indemnity Agreement shall be binding upon the Limited Partnership and recourse may be had to the partnership property of the Limited Partnership but not personally binding upon any of the directors, officers, limited partners, employees or agents of the Limited Partnership and no resort shall be had to nor redress, recourse or satisfaction sought from the private property of any such parties.

18.	This agreement shall be effective when executed by both the Limited Partnership and the Indemnified Person.

19.

Any notice, consent or approval required or permitted to be given in connection with this Indemnity Agreement (in this Section referred to as a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered (whether in person, by courier service or other personal method of delivery), or if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail:
