Section 4.2, the Holder of any Debenture
converted pursuant to Section 4.2 or to be

such other place or places if any that are
designated by the Company with the approval of
the Trustee, with, in the case of a conversion
pursuant to Section 4.1, the notice of exercise
in the form of Schedule "C-2" (a "CONVERSION
NOTICE") duly completed by such Holder or such
Holder's duly authorized executors,
administrators or other legal representative or
attorney duly appointed by any individual in
writing in the form and executed in the manner
satisfactory to the Trustee acting reasonably,
specifying the portion of the principal amount
thereof which is to be converted. If any
Subordinate Voting Shares into which such

a person or persons other than the registered
Holder of such Debenture, such Debenture shall
be accompanied by payment from the Holder to the
Trustee of any transfer tax or government or
other charge which may be payable by reason

may be, and the surrender of said Debenture
shall be deemed and constitute a contract
between the Holder of such Debenture (or such
Holder's executors, administrators of other
legal representative or attorney duly appointed,
as the case may be) and the Company whereby:
(a) the Holder of such Debenture subscribes for the
number of Subordinate Voting Shares which it
shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion;
(b) the Holder of such Debenture releases the
Company from all liability thereon or from all
liability with respect to the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be converted, as the
case may be; and

payment of the subscription price for the
Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on such
conversion.

that the following conditions are met (unless
waived by the converting Holder):
(a) the Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued upon
conversion are to be freely tradeable and free
of resale restrictions under Applicable
Securities Legislation in Canada;

(b) the listing of such additional Subordinate
Voting Shares on each Recognized Exchange on
which the Subordinate Voting Shares are then
listed;
(c) the Company being a reporting issuer in good
standing under Applicable Securities Legislation
in Canada when the distribution of such
Subordinate Voting Shares occurs;
(d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(e) the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers'
Certificate stating that conditions (a), (b),
(c) and (d) above have been satisfied and
setting forth the number of Subordinate Voting
Shares to be delivered for each US$1,000
principal amount of Debentures; and
(f) the receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such Subordinate
Voting Shares have been duly authorized and,
when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture in payment of the principal
amount of the Debentures outstanding, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
that conditions (a) and (b) above have been
satisfied and that, relying exclusively on
certificates of good standing issued by the
relevant securities authorities, condition (c)
above is satisfied, except that the opinion need
not be expressed with respect to those provinces
which do not issue such certificates.

in accordance with this Article 4, for each
US$1,000 principal amount of Debentures which
the Holder has elected or is deemed to have
elected to convert (a) certificates for the
Subordinate Voting Shares to which the Holder is
entitled (which shall be made available to such
Holder no later than the second Business Day
following the Conversion Date), (b) interest
accrued on such Debentures from the last date to
which interest has been paid on such Debentures
to, but excluding, the Conversion Date, (c) if
the Holder has elected to convert a principal
amount of Debentures (the "EXERCISED AMOUNT")
which is less than the principal amount of all
Debentures of which such person is the Holder
immediately prior to such exercise (the
"REGISTERED AMOUNT"), Debenture(s) registered in
the name of such Holder in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the amount by which
the registered amount

exceeds the exercised amount and (d) cash in
lieu of any fractional Subordinate Voting
Shares.
(2) All Debentures converted in whole or in part
shall be delivered to and cancelled by the
Trustee in accordance with Article 9 and the
Trustee shall amend the register maintained by
it pursuant to section 2.10 accordingly.

thereon or accretions thereto and all dividends
or distributions (including stock dividends and
dividends or distributions in kind) thereon and
arising thereafter and before such Subordinate
Voting Shares are delivered or sent and in the
event that the Trustee receives the same, it
shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of
such Holder.
(2) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized Subordinate
Voting Shares (if the number thereof is or
becomes limited) solely for the purpose of issue
and delivery upon conversion of Debentures as
provided herein, and issue to Debentureholders
who may exercise their conversion rights
hereunder, such number of Subordinate Voting
Shares as shall be issuable in such event. All
Subordinate Voting Shares which shall be so
issuable shall be duly and validly issued as
fully paid and non-assessable.

Securities Legislation regulating the issue and

converted pursuant to Section 4.2 or to be
converted pursuant to Section 4.1 shall

the Trustee, with, in the case of a conversion
pursuant to Section 4.1, the notice of exercise
in the form of Schedule "C-2" (a "CONVERSION
NOTICE") duly completed by such Holder or such
Holder's duly authorized executors,
administrators or other legal representative or
attorney duly appointed by any individual in
writing in the form and executed in the manner
satisfactory to the Trustee acting
-22-
reasonably, specifying the portion of the
principal amount thereof which is to be
converted. If any Subordinate Voting Shares into
which such Debenture is to be converted are to
be issued to a person or persons other than the
registered Holder of such Debenture, such
Debenture shall be accompanied by payment from
the Holder to the Trustee of any transfer tax or
government or other charge which may be payable
by reason thereof. The completion by the Holder
of any Debenture of the Conversion Notice, as
the case may be, and the surrender of said
Debenture shall be deemed and constitute a
contract between the Holder of such Debenture
(or such Holder's executors, administrators of
other legal representative or attorney duly
appointed, as the case may be) and the Company
whereby:
(a) the Holder of such Debenture subscribes for the
number of Subordinate Voting Shares which it
shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion;
(b) the Holder of such Debenture releases the
Company from all liability thereon or from all
liability with respect to the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be converted, as the
case may be; and
(c) the Company agrees that the surrender of such
Debenture for conversion constitutes full
payment of the subscription price for the
Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on such
conversion.
(2) On the Conversion Date, the Company shall ensure
that the following conditions are met (unless
waived by the converting Holder):
(a) the Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued upon
conversion are to be freely tradeable and free
of resale restrictions under Applicable
Securities Legislation in Canada;
(b) the listing of such additional Subordinate
Voting Shares on each Recognized Exchange on
which the Subordinate Voting Shares are then
listed;
(c) the Company being a reporting issuer in good
standing under Applicable Securities Legislation
in Canada when the distribution of such
Subordinate Voting Shares occurs;
(d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(e) the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers'
Certificate stating that conditions (a), (b),
(c) and (d) above have been satisfied and
-23-
setting forth the number of Subordinate Voting
Shares to be delivered for each US$1,000
principal amount of Debentures; and
(f) the receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such Subordinate
Voting Shares have been duly authorized and,
when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture in payment of the principal
amount of the Debentures outstanding, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
that conditions (a) and (b) above have been
satisfied and that, relying exclusively on
certificates of good standing issued by the
relevant securities authorities, condition (c)
above is satisfied, except that the opinion need
not be expressed with respect to those provinces
which do not issue such certificates.

in accordance with this Article 4, for each
US$1,000 principal amount of Debentures which
the Holder has elected or is deemed to have
elected to convert (a) certificates for the
Subordinate Voting Shares to which the Holder is
entitled (which shall be made available to such
Holder no later than the second Business Day
following the Conversion Date), (b) interest
accrued on such Debentures from the last date to
which interest has been paid on such Debentures
to, but excluding, the Conversion Date, (c) if

amount of Debentures (the "EXERCISED AMOUNT")
which is less than the principal amount of all
Debentures of which such person is the Holder
immediately prior to such exercise (the
"REGISTERED AMOUNT"), Debenture(s) registered in
the name of such Holder in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the amount by which
the registered amount exceeds the exercised
amount and (d) cash in lieu of any fractional
Subordinate Voting Shares.

shall be delivered to and cancelled by the
Trustee in accordance with Article 9 and the
Trustee shall amend the register maintained by

funds, by certified cheque or bank draft, in a

substitutions therefor, all income earned
thereon or accretions thereto and all dividends
or distributions (including stock dividends and
dividends or distributions in kind) thereon and

such Holder.

provided herein, and issue to Debentureholders
who may exercise their conversion rights
hereunder, such number of Subordinate Voting
Shares as shall be issuable in such event. All
Subordinate Voting Shares which shall be so
issuable shall be duly and validly issued as
fully paid and non-assessable.
(3) The Company shall comply with all Applicable
Securities Legislation regulating the issue and
delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares upon
conversion of Debentures, and shall cause to be
listed and posted for trading such Subordinate
Voting Shares on each Recognized Exchange on
which the Subordinate Voting Shares are then
listed.

Voting Shares.

province thereof (except income tax (other than taxes required to be deducted or
withheld as provided in section 2.7) or security transfer tax, if any) which

Shares to Holders upon the conversion of Debentures pursuant to the terms of the

In case the Company after the date hereof shall

described in sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 which in
the opinion of the Directors would prejudicially

to be fair and equitable in the circumstances to
the Holders. Failure of the Directors to take
action so as to provide for an adjustment on or

property issuable on exercise of the conversion
right hereunder or the Current Market Price of
Subordinate Voting Shares, the Weighted Average
Trading Price, the Subordinate Voting Share Rate
or the Conditional Conversion Rate or the

THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK, AS TRUSTEE, AS AMENDED
FORM OF DEBENTURES
NO. - TELESYSTEM INTERNATIONAL WIRELESS INC. US$-
(Incorporated under the laws of Canada)
7.75% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES SERIES A
Due March 9, 2010
TELESYSTEM INTERNATIONAL WIRELESS INC. (the "Company") for value received hereby
promises to pay to the registered Holder hereof on March 9, 2010 (the "Maturity
Date") or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, the sum
of
US DOLLARS (US$___________) in lawful money of the United States on presentation
and surrender of this Debenture at the principal office in New York, New York of
The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, and to pay interest on the
outstanding principal amount hereof at the rate of 7.75% per annum from
__________(1)or from the last interest payment date to which interest has been
paid or made available for payment on the outstanding Debentures, whichever is
later, at the said place, in like money in equal semi-annual installments in
arrears on September 9 and March 9 in each year commencing _____________(2)after
as well as before maturity and after as well as before default in payment of
principal or interest.
As interest on this Debenture becomes due, the Company (except in the case of
(i) interest payable at maturity, on conversion, on optional redemption or
pursuant to a Change of Control, (ii) interest payable pursuant to the Interest
in Kind Right and (iii) as may be otherwise agreed between a Holder and the
Company), the Company, at least three days prior to each Interest Payment Date,
shall forward or cause to be forwarded by prepaid post, to the Holder for the
time being of the Debenture, at his address appearing on the appropriate
register, or in the case of joint Holders, to the one whose name appears first
on such register, a cheque for such interest payable to the order of such Holder
or Holders and negotiable at par at each place at which interest upon this
Debenture is payable. The forwarding of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge
the liability for the interest on this Debenture to the extent of the sum
represented thereby unless such cheque be not paid on presentation. In the
circumstances set forth in the Indenture, a Holder
------------------------
(1) Insert "March 10, 2000" for Debentures issued on March 10, 2000 and all
Debentures issued upon exchange or transfer thereof (including Debentures
issued pursuant to the Second Amending Agreement). For Debentures issued
pursuant to the Interest in Kind Right, insert the date of original issuance
of such Debentures.
(2) Insert first regularly scheduled interest payment date after the date of
original issuance for Debentures issued pursuant to the Interest in Kind
Right. Insert "September 9, 2000" for all other Debentures.
shall be entitled to receive payment of such interest on the Interest Payment
Date by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Holder.
The Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay interest
on this Debenture by delivering to the Holder, at such Holder's option, either
(i) that number of Subordinate Voting Shares freely tradeable under Applicable
Securities Legislation in Canada obtained by dividing the aggregate Interest
Amount due to that Holder by 95% of the Current Market Price of Subordinate
Voting Shares on the applicable Interest Payment Date, or (ii) that principal
amount of Debentures freely tradeable under Applicable Securities Legislation in
Canada equal to the aggregate Interest Amount due to that Holder, subject to the
denomination limitations described below.
The Company may elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Amount of
the Debentures at maturity or upon a tender following a Change of Control by
delivering a number of Subordinate Voting Shares to the Trustee for sale such
that the proceeds thereof equal the Redemption Amount. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of such proceeds, the sole right of a holder of a Debenture in respect
of the Redemption Amount will be to receive cash from the Trustee from the
proceeds of the sale of such Subordinate Voting Shares.
This Debenture is one of the 7.75% Convertible Debentures due March 8, 2010 in
the aggregate initial principal amount of US$150,000,000 in lawful money of the
United States issued under an Indenture (the "INDENTURE") dated as of March 8,
2000 and made between the Company and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of
New York, as Trustee, as amended. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for
a description of the rights of the Holders of the said Debentures, of the
Company and of the Trustee and of the terms and conditions upon which the
Debentures are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of
the Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the Holder of
this Debenture, by acceptance hereof, assents. All terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
The Debentures are issuable as fully registered Debentures in denominations of
US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 and in other authorized
denominations. The Debentures of any authorized denomination may be exchanged,
as provided in the Indenture, for Debentures in same aggregate principal amount
in any other authorized denomination.
This Debenture and all other Debentures certified and issued under the Indenture
rank pari passu in accordance to their tenor without discrimination, preference
or priority. The payment of the principal and interest on the Debentures is
subordinated to the prior payment in full of Senior Liabilities. The Indenture
does not restrict the Company from incurring additional Indebtedness for
borrowed money or from mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure
any Indebtedness.
At any time on or prior to the last Business Day before the Maturity Date, the
Holder shall have the right at its option to elect to convert this Debenture, or
any portion of the principal amount thereof which is an integral multiple of
US$1,000 into that number of fully paid and non-assessable Subordinate Voting
Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the
principal amount of Debentures to be converted by US$1,000 and (ii) the
Subordinate Voting Share Rate in effect on the Conversion Date.
The Subordinate Voting Share Rate means 4.73968, as may be adjusted from time to
time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
Subject to the ESD Indenture Amendment, each Holder shall convert, on the Units
Issuer Bid Closing Date and simultaneously with the conversion of all
outstanding Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, all of its
outstanding Debentures plus any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
excluding the interest on such accrued interest, into that number of fully paid
and non-assessable Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the product of (i) the
quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of Debentures outstanding
plus the Capitalized Interest by $1,000 and (ii) the Conditional Conversion
Rate. The Conditional Conversion Rate means 495.77448 as may be adjusted from
time to time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt,
following such conditional conversion, any interest accrued from and including
September 9, 2001 and up to and including the Conversion Date, but excluding the
interest on the Capitalized Interest, shall be deemed cancelled and waived and
shall not, then or in the future, be due and payable.
In order to exercise the optional conversion privilege, or following the
conditional conversion, herein provided for, the Holder of any Debenture to be
converted or deemed converted, as the case may be, shall surrender such
Debenture to the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office in New York
City or at such other place or places if any that are designated by the Company
with the approval of the Trustee, with the notice of exercise, in the case of
the optional conversion, (a "CONVERSION NOTICE") duly completed by such Holder
or such Holder's duly authorized executors, administrators or other legal
representative or attorney duly appointed by any individual in writing in the
form and executed in the manner satisfactory to the Trustee acting reasonably,
specifying the portion of the principal amount thereof which is to be converted.
If any Subordinate Voting Shares into which such Debenture is to be converted
are to be issued to a person or persons other than the registered Holder of such
Debenture, such Debenture shall be accompanied by payment from the
Debentureholder to the Trustee of any transfer tax or government or other charge
which may be payable by reason thereof. The completion by the Holder of any
Debenture of the Conversion Notice, in the case of the optional conversion, and
the surrender of said Debenture shall be deemed and constitute a contract
between the Holder of such Debenture (or such Holder's executors, administrators
of other legal representative or attorney duly appointed as the case may be) and
the Company whereby:
(a) the Holder of such Debenture subscribes for the number of
Subordinate Voting Shares which it shall be entitled to receive
upon such conversion;
(b) the Holder of such Debenture releases the Company from all
liability thereon or from all liability with respect to the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be converted, as the
case may be; and
(c) the Company agrees that the surrender of such Debenture for
conversion constitutes full payment of the subscription price
for the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on such conversion.
The Company shall have the right at its option to redeem all, but not less than
all, of the Debentures outstanding hereunder on or after the fifth anniversary
date of this Indenture and before the Maturity Date upon payment in lawful money
of the United States of an amount for each US$1,000 principal amount of
Debentures to be redeemed, equal to the aggregate of (i) US$1,000 and (ii) all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption (the "REDEMPTION AMOUNT"), which date shall be an Interest Payment
Date. The Company shall satisfy the Redemption Amount, at its option, either in
cash or by the delivery of that number of freely tradeable Subordinate Voting
Shares free of resale restrictions under Applicable Securities Legislation in
Canada as provided in section 3.7 of the Indenture provided, however, that such
right of redemption by the delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares may only be
exercised if the Weighted Average Trading Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares
(as defined in the Indenture) is, equal to or greater than the Threshold Price.
The Threshold Price is US$274.280, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant
to the terms of the Indenture.
Upon a Change of Control, the Company shall offer to redeem this Debenture, in
whole or in part, for an amount equal to the Redemption Amount.
The Company shall also have the right to purchase for cancellation the
Debentures in the open market or by tender or by private contract at any price.
Debentures purchased by the Company shall be cancelled and shall not be
reissued.
The principal hereof may become or be declared due before the stated maturity on
the conditions, in the manner, with the effect and at the time set forth in the
Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for the holding of meetings of
Debentureholders and rendering resolutions passed at such meetings and
instruments in writing signed by the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Debentures
outstanding binding upon all Debentureholders subject to the provision of the
Indenture.
This Debenture may only be transferred upon compliance with the conditions
precedent in the Indenture on one of the registers to be kept at the offices of
the Trustee in New York City and in such other place or places as the Company
with the approval of the Trustee may designate, and/or by such other registrar
or registrars, if any, as the Company with the approval of the Trustee may

(Incorporated under the laws of Canada)
7.75% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES SERIES B
Due March 9, 2010
TELESYSTEM INTERNATIONAL WIRELESS INC. (the "Company") for value received hereby
promises to pay to the registered Holder hereof on March 9, 2010 (the "Maturity
Date") or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, the sum
of
US DOLLARS (US$___________) in lawful money of the United States on presentation
and surrender of this Debenture at the principal office in New York, New York of
The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, and to pay interest on the
outstanding principal amount hereof at the rate of 7.75% per annum from
____________(1) or from the last interest payment date to which interest has
been paid or made available for payment on the outstanding Debentures, whichever
is later, at the said place, in like money in equal semi-annual installments in
arrears on September 9 and March 9 in each year commencing ___________ (2) after
as well as before maturity and after as well as before default in payment of
principal or interest.
As interest on this Debenture becomes due, the Company (except in the case of
(i) interest payable at maturity, on conversion, on optional redemption or
pursuant to a Change of Control, (ii) interest payable pursuant to the Interest
in Kind Right and (iii) as may be otherwise agreed between a Holder and the
Company), the Company, at least three days prior to each Interest Payment Date,
shall forward or cause to be forwarded by prepaid post, to the Holder for the
time being of the Debenture, at his address appearing on the appropriate
register, or in the case of joint Holders, to the one whose name appears first
on such register, a cheque for such interest payable to the order of such Holder
or Holders and negotiable at par at each place at which interest upon this
Debenture is payable. The forwarding of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge
the liability for the interest on this Debenture to the extent of the sum
represented thereby unless such cheque be not paid on presentation. In the
circumstances set forth in the Indenture, a Holder
------------------------
(1) Insert "March 10, 2000" for Debentures issued on March 10, 2000 and all
Debentures issued upon exchange or transfer thereof (including Debentures
issued pursuant to the Second Amending Agreement). For Debentures issued

of such Debentures.
(2) Insert first regularly scheduled interest payment date after the date of

shall be entitled to receive payment of such interest on the Interest Payment
Date by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Holder.
The Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay interest
on this Debenture by delivering to the Holder, at such Holder's option, either
(i) that number of Subordinate Voting Shares freely tradeable under Applicable
Securities Legislation in Canada obtained by dividing the aggregate Interest
Amount due to that Holder by 95% of the Current Market Price of Subordinate
Voting Shares on the applicable Interest Payment Date, or (ii) that principal
amount of Debentures freely tradeable under Applicable Securities Legislation in
Canada equal to the aggregate Interest Amount due to that Holder, subject to the
denomination limitations described below.
The Company may elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Amount of
the Debentures at maturity or upon a tender following a Change of Control by
delivering a number of Subordinate Voting Shares to the Trustee for sale such
that the proceeds thereof equal the Redemption Amount. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of such proceeds, the sole right of a holder of a Debenture in respect
of the Redemption Amount will be to receive cash from the Trustee from the
proceeds of the sale of such Subordinate Voting Shares.
This Debenture is one of the 7.75% Convertible Debentures due March 9, 2010 in
the aggregate initial principal amount of US$150,000,000 in lawful money of the
United States issued under an Indenture (the "INDENTURE") dated as of March 8,
2000 and made between the Company and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of
New York, as Trustee, as amended. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for
a description of the rights of the Holders of the said Debentures, of the
Company and of the Trustee and of the terms and conditions upon which the
Debentures are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of
the Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the Holder of
this Debenture, by acceptance hereof, assents. All terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
The Debentures are issuable as fully registered Debentures in denominations of
US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 and in other authorized
denominations. The Debentures of any authorized denomination may be exchanged,
as provided in the Indenture, for Debentures in same aggregate principal amount
in any other authorized denomination.
This Debenture and all other Debentures certified and issued under the Indenture
rank pari passu in accordance to their tenor without discrimination, preference
or priority. The payment of the principal and interest on the Debentures is
subordinated to the prior payment in full of Senior Liabilities. The Indenture
does not restrict the Company from incurring additional Indebtedness for
borrowed money or from mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure
any Indebtedness.
At any time on or prior to the last Business Day before the Maturity Date, the
Holder shall have the right at its option to elect to convert this Debenture, or
any portion of the principal amount thereof which is an integral multiple of
US$1,000 into that number of fully paid and non-assessable Subordinate Voting
Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the
principal amount of Debentures to be converted by US$1,000 and (ii) the
Subordinate Voting Share Rate in effect on the Conversion Date.
The Subordinate Voting Share Rate means 4.73968, as may be adjusted from time to
time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
Subject to the ESD Indenture Amendment, each Holder shall convert, on the Units
Issuer Bid Closing Date and simultaneously with the conversion of all
outstanding Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, all of its
outstanding Debentures plus any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
excluding the interest on such accrued interest, into that number of fully paid
and non-assessable Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the product of (i) the
quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of Debentures outstanding
plus the Capitalized Interest by $1,000 and (ii) the Conditional Conversion
Rate. The Conditional Conversion Rate means 495.77448 as may be adjusted from
time to time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt,
following such conditional conversion, any interest accrued from and including
September 9, 2001 and up to and including the Conversion Date, but excluding the
interest on the Capitalized Interest, shall be deemed cancelled and waived and
shall not, then or in the future, be due and payable.
In order to exercise the optional conversion privilege, or following the
conditional conversion, herein provided for, the Holder of any Debenture to be
converted or claimed converted, as the case may be, shall surrender such
Debenture to the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office in New York
City or at such other place or places if any that are designated by the Company
with the approval of the Trustee, with the notice of exercise, in the case of
the optional conversion, (a "CONVERSION NOTICE") duly completed by such Holder
or such Holder's duly authorized executors, administrators or other legal
representative or attorney duly appointed by any individual in writing in the
form and executed in the manner satisfactory to the Trustee acting reasonably,
specifying the portion of the principal amount thereof which is to be converted.
If any Subordinate Voting Shares into which such Debenture is to be converted
are to be issued to a person or persons other than the registered Holder of such
Debenture, such Debenture shall be accompanied by payment from the
Debentureholder to the Trustee of any transfer tax or government or other charge
which may be payable by reason thereof. The completion by the Holder of any
Debenture of the Conversion Notice, in the case of the optional conversion, and
the surrender of said Debenture shall be deemed and constitute a contract
between the Holder of such Debenture (or such Holder's executors, administrators
of other legal representative or attorney duly appointed as the case may be) and
the Company whereby:
(a) the Holder of such Debenture subscribes for the number of
Subordinate Voting Shares which it shall be entitled to receive
upon such conversion;
(b) the Holder of such Debenture releases the Company from all
liability thereon or from all liability with respect to the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be converted, as the
case may be; and
(c) the Company agrees that the surrender of such Debenture for
conversion constitutes full payment of the subscription price
for the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on such conversion.
The Company shall have the right at its option to redeem all, but not less than
all, of the Debentures outstanding hereunder on or after the fifth anniversary
date of this Indenture and before the Maturity Date upon payment in lawful money
of the United States of an amount for each US$1,000 principal amount of
Debentures to be redeemed, equal to the aggregate of (i) US$1,000 and (ii) all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption (the "REDEMPTION AMOUNT"), which date shall be an Interest Payment
Date. The Company shall satisfy the Redemption Amount, at its option, either in
cash or by the delivery of that number of freely tradeable Subordinate Voting
Shares free of resale restrictions under Applicable Securities Legislation in
Canada as provided in section 3.7 of the Indenture provided, however, that such
right of redemption by the delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares may only be
exercised if the Weighted Average Trading Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares
(as defined in the Indenture) is, equal to or greater than the Threshold Price.
The Threshold Price is US$274.280, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant
to the terms of the Indenture.
Upon a Change of Control, the Company shall offer to redeem this Debenture, in
whole or in part, for an amount equal to the Redemption Amount.
The Company shall also have the right to purchase for cancellation the
Debentures in the open market or by tender or by private contract at any price.
Debentures purchased by the Company shall be cancelled and shall not be
reissued.
The principal hereof may become or be declared due before the stated maturity on
the conditions, in the manner, with the effect and at the time set forth in the
Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for the holding of meetings of
Debentureholders and rendering resolutions passed at such meetings and
instruments in writing signed by the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Debentures
outstanding binding upon all Debentureholders subject to the provision of the
Indenture.
This Debenture may only be transferred upon compliance with the conditions
precedent in the Indenture on one of the registers to be kept at the offices of
the Trustee in New York City and in such other place or places as the Company
with the approval of the Trustee may designate, and/or by such other registrar
or registrars, if any, as the Company with the approval of the Trustee may
designate, and may be exchanged at any such place, by the registered Holder
hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his
or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and
execution satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon compliance with such reasonable
requirements as the Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe, and such
transfer shall be duly noted thereon by the Trustee or other registrar.
This Debenture shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have
been certified by the Trustee for the time being under the Indenture.
The Holder of this Debenture, by receiving and holding same, hereby accepts and
agrees to be bound by the terms, and to be entitled to the benefits of this
Debenture and of the Indenture and confirms the appointment of the Trustee as
attorney of the Holder of the Debenture to the extent necessary for the purposes
hereof and of the Indenture, the whole in accordance with and subject to the
respective provisions thereof.
