as well as before default in the payment of principal or interest.
As the interest matures, the Bank (except in case of payment at maturity,

surrender of this Debenture) shall forward to the registered address of the
holder hereof by prepaid mail, prior to the applicable interest payment date, a

in the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Bank, the indebtedness
evidenced by all debentures or other subordinated indebtedness issued
thereunder, including the Series 22 Debentures, will be subordinate in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the deposit liabilities of the Bank,
except liabilities which by their terms rank in right of payment equally with or
subordinate to indebtedness evidenced by all such debentures or other
subordinated indebtedness. Reference is made to the Trust Indenture for a
further statement of the rights of the holders of Series 22 Debentures, of the
Bank and of the Trustee and the terms and conditions upon which the Series 22
Debentures are issued and held, to all of which the holder of this Debenture, by

prior approval of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, the Bank may
redeem all but not less than all of the Series 22 Debentures on July 31, 2007 or

60 days notice, all as provided in the Trust Indenture, at 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for
redemption.
The Bank, with the prior approval of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions, shall have the right, at any time after the fifth anniversary of
the date of issue of the Series 22 Debentures, to purchase Series 22 Debentures
in the market, by tender or by private contract at any price.

the registered holders of the Series 22 Debentures not less than 30 days not
more than 60 days prior to the Conversion Date, all as provided in the Trust

equivalent au taux des acceptations bancaires de 90 jours (tel que defini a
l'acte de fiducie mentionne ci-apres) majore de 1,00 %, payable
trimestriellement et non a l'avance les 31 janvier, 30 avril, 31 juillet et 31
octobre de chaque annee (les "dates de paiement d'interet"), a compter du 31
juillet 2007 avec interet sur l'arriere d'interet, s'il y a lieu, relativement a
toute periode d'interet trimestrielle, au taux applicable a cette periode
d'interet trimestrielle, apres comme avant tout defaut de paiement du capital ou
de l'interet.
Selon l'echeancier de l'interet (sauf lors du paiement a l'echeance, auquel
cas le paiement de l'interet pourra, au gre de la Banque, etre effectue sur
remise de la presente debenture), la Banque en effectuera le paiement en
expediant par courrier affranchi a l'adresse inscrite du porteur de la
13
presente, avant la date de paiement d'interet applicable, un cheque pour
l'interet alors du tire sur la Banque et encaissable a toute succursale de la
Banque au Canada, au gre du porteur, ou de toute autre maniere qui sera d'usage
pour le paiement de l'interet.
Cette debenture est l'une des debentures de la Banque emises ou pouvant
etre emises en une ou plusieurs series en vertu des dispositions d'un acte de
fiducie intervenu en date du 14 decembre 1995 entre la Banque et la Societe de
fiducie Banque de Montreal, a titre de fiduciaire (le "fiduciaire") et d'actes
supplementaires s'y rapportant, y compris le troisieme acte supplementaire entre
les memes parties en date du 31 juillet 1996 (collectivement, l'"acte de
fiducie"). Les debentures 7.92%, serie 22, echeant en 2012 (quelquefois
designees dans les presentes comme les "debentures de la serie 22"), dont cette
debenture fait partie, sont limitees a un montant en capital global de 150 000
000$ en monnaie legale du Canada et viennent a echeance le 31 juillet 2012.
Les debentures de la serie 22 constituent des obligations directes et non
garanties de la Banque ainsi que des titres secondaires au sens de la Loi sur
les banques (Canada). Elles ont egalite de rang avec toutes les debentures et
autres titres secondaires de la Banque emis et en circulation de temps a autre
en vertu de l'acte de fiducie et des actes de fiducie existants ("Existing Trust
Indentures"), ainsi que ce terme est defini dans l'acte de fiducie
(collectivement, les "actes de fiducie"). Les actes de fiducie prevoient qu'en
cas d'insolvabilite ou de liquidation de la Banque, la dette constatee par
toutes les debentures et autres titres secondaires emis en vertu de ceux-ci, y
compris les debentures de la serie 22, sera subordonnee, quant au droit de
paiement, au paiement prioritaire et integral du passif-depots de la Banque,
sauf des elements de passif qui, selon leurs modalites, ont un rang egal ou
subordonne a la dette constatee par toutes ces debentures et autres titres
secondaires. Il y a lieu de se reporter a l'acte de fiducie pour le detail des
droits des porteurs de debentures de la serie 22, ceux de la Banque et du
fiduciaire et pour les modalites en vertu desquelles les debentures de la serie
22 sont emises et detenues, a l'ensemble desquels le porteur de cette debenture
acquiesce par son acceptation des presentes.
Les debentures de la serie 22 ne peuvent en aucun cas etre remboursees par
anticipation avant le 31 juillet 2007. Sous reserve des dispositions de la Loi
sur les banques (Canada), y compris l'approbation prealable du Surintendant des
institutions financieres, la Banque peut, a son gre, rembourser par anticipation
la totalite, mais non moins de la totalite, des debentures de la serie 22 le 31
juillet 2007 ou a toute date de paiement d'interet par la suite, moyennant un
avis prealable d'au moins 30 jours et d'au plus 60 jours, ainsi qu'il est prevu
dans l'acte de fiducie, au pair majore des interets courus et impayes a la date
fixee pour le remboursement.
Apres le cinquieme anniversaire de la date d'emission des debentures de la
serie 22, la Banque peut, avec l'approbation prealable du Surintendant des
institutions financieres, acheter les debentures de la serie 22 sur le marche
libre, ou par xxxxx d'offres ou par convention privee, a quelque prix que ce
soit.
Le 31 juillet 2007 (la "date de conversion"), le porteur inscrit de cette
debenture de la serie 22 peut, a condition d'avoir recu un avis de la Banque,
lequel ne peut etre donne qu'avec l'approbation
14
prealable du Surintendant des institutions financieres, convertir (l' "option de
conversion") la totalite, mais non moins de la totalite, de cette debenture de
la serie 22 en un montant en capital global equivalent de nouvelles debentures
(xxxxxx qu'elles sont defines dans ll'acte de fiducie). Le cas echeant, cet avis
de la Banque sera donne aux porteurs inscrits des debentures de la serie 22 au
moins 30 fours et au plus 60 jours avant la date de conversion, ainsi qu'il est
prevu dans l'acte de fiducie, et ces porteurs auront alors l'option d'effectuer
cette conversion selon les modalites prevues dans l'acte de fiducie. L'option de
conversion peut etre levee par le po rteur en remplissant le formulaire de
levee del'option de conversion quise trouve au verso de la presente et en
livrant et cedant cette debenture de la serie 22 au fiduciaire ou son mandataire
a l'un de leurs bureaux principaux dans les villes mentionnees ci-apres ou a
tout autre endroit mentionne dans l'avis de la Banque au plus tard a 16 h (heure
de Toronto) a la date de conversion. La levee de loption de conversion est
irrevocable.
L'acte de fiducie prevoit, entre autres: (a) la decheance du terme de
cette debenture de la serie 22 en cas de defaut (tel que defini dans l'acte de
fiducie) et (b) la tenue d'assemblees des porteurs de debentures et
l'assujettissement de tous les porteurs de debentures a certaines decisions
prises a ces assemblees.
Cette debenture de la serie 22 est transferable aux bureaux principaux du
fiduciaire, ou de son mandataire, a Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg,
Xxxxxx, Calgary ou Vancouver, et a tels autres endroits que la Banque pourra
designer de temps a autre avec l'approbation du fiduciaire, et ne peut etre
transferee que par son porteur inscrit ou son fonde de pouvoir dument autorise
par ecrit.
Cette debenture de la serie 22 ne prend effet que lorsqu'elle est attestee
par le fiduciaire ou en son nom.
EN FOI DE QUOI, cette debenture de la serie 22 a ete xxxxxx signee et le
sceau de la Banque y a ete appose en date du 31 juillet 1996.
