The Investor further acknowledges that, if it is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the

- 8 -

Company must be provided with the appropriate properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8, attesting to its foreign status and certain other information, including information establishing an exemption from withholding under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code. The Investor further acknowledges that it may be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding or 24% U.S. federal backup withholding on certain payments or deliveries made to it unless it properly establishes an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, such withholding or backup withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor hereby represents that it is able to receive any Exchange Consideration hereunder (including any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest) without any U.S. withholding tax and is entitled to provide U.S. tax forms and required attachments indicating the same (including, where relevant, any certifications indicating that the Investor fulfills the requirements of “portfolio interest exemption” as indicated in Exhibit C) and agrees to hold the Company and its agents harmless for the breach of such representation.

(b) Excluded Obligation. For purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”), and for greater certainty, the Existing Notes are an “excluded obligation” as defined in subsection 214(8) of the Tax Act.

(c) Withholding Tax. The Company and the Investor acknowledge that all payments or deliveries in connection with the Exchange made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to the Exchange Consideration are required to be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of Canada, any province or territory of Canada or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, unless such person is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by applicable law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If any Taxes are required by applicable law to be deducted and withheld in connection with the Exchange Consideration hereunder, the Company shall within the time period for payment required by applicable law, pay to the appropriate governmental body the full amount of such Taxes, and make such reports and filings in connection therewith in the manner required. Where the Company deducts or withholds any amount of Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as contemplated herein, the Company shall be considered for all purposes hereof to have satisfied its obligation to make such amount of the payment and the amount so deducted or withheld shall be deemed to have been paid (or issued) to the Investor hereunder, provided that the Company complies with its obligations to pay such amount to the applicable government authority within the time required.

Section 8. MISCELLANEOUS.

Tax Matters

Backup Withholding Tax

Under U.S. federal income tax law, an Investor who exchanges Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration generally must provide such Investor’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 (attached hereto) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or an Investor’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the Investor may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax (currently set at 24% of the payment). If an Investor is required to provide a TIN but does not have the TIN, the Investor should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Non-U.S. Holders generally may establish their status as exempt recipients from backup withholding by submitting a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company or the IRS at xxx.xxx.xxx), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Investor’s exempt foreign status. U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.

Portfolio Interest Exemption (for Investors That Are Not U.S. Persons for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes)

Under U.S. federal income tax law, an Investor that exchanges Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration and is otherwise not eligible to provide an IRS Form W-9 must claim an exemption from U.S. withholding tax on payments or deliveries attributable to accrued and unpaid interest. Any Investor that claims such an exemption under the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” is hereby deemed to represent and certify (along with the providing the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). However, if the Investor is an intermediary, a foreign partnership or other flow-through entity, then the following adjustments will be made:

The following representation will be provided as applied to the Investor:
